Miss Naoko is always at the Shura Field

It rained last night, and the road was wet. The skin of the trees was soaked by the rain and turned dark brown, giving off a strong smell of rain.

The sky is still thick with muscular dark clouds, which reduce the intensity of the daylight.

The sky was dim.

Nioh Masaharu is waiting for you at the door, but you have not come out, beyond the usual latest departure time.

is something happened?

He rang the bell and found the door was open.

He went in.

Gorgeous decoration unfolded in front of his eyes, the chandelier in the center of the hall illuminated the whole room, and the surrounding Louis XV period furniture arrangement highlighted the oil painting "Death of the Virgin" facing the door.

"Death of the Virgin" is the pinnacle of Caravaggio, an outstanding Italian painter in the late Renaissance.

It depicts the condition of the Virgin Mary on her deathbed.

Under the bright yellow light, this large-scale painting is clearly visible, and the expression of the Virgin in the painting is vivid and real.

The Madonna in the once controversial "Death of the Virgin" is not the sublime image in Raphael's works. In Caravaggio's paintings, the Madonna is just an ordinary woman with a pale face and a bloated figure. And the dead peasant woman. *

The heavy and thick color of the main body makes the atmosphere of the hall heavy.

Why is this religious painting placed in your home? You don't usually show any religious inclinations.

But Nioh doesn't have the mind to think about these now.

"Yuejian Ri-kun?" King Ren called out, the voice echoed in the empty house, and there was no response for a long time.

Nioh Masaharu went up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

You lay on the bed, flushed, and fell asleep quietly.

The slight ups and downs of breathing make you look vulnerable.

Nioh Masaharu puts the back of his hand on your forehead, and the temperature is very high.

Then he saw an electronic thermometer and a towel next to him.

"Yuejian Li-kun, wake up, are you okay?" Nioh Masaharu called softly, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"King Ni..." You struggled to open your eyes and smiled at him, "It's okay, I've already taken the medicine."

"But your forehead is still very hot..." King Ren gently pressed the back of his hand to your forehead again.

But you didn't answer again, maybe it was the effect of the medicine, and you fell asleep again.

Nioh took your temperature with a thermometer, and the fever was not severe, so he dipped a towel in hot water and put it on your forehead. After a while, he came home, and then came again.

I don't know how long it took, but you wake up from a deep sleep, and the weak state in the morning has improved.

"Are you awake?" You heard Nioh Masaharu's voice.

"Niou-kun?" You said in surprise, "I thought it was a dream."

"You have a fever." Nioh said, "I asked my mother to call the school to ask for leave."

"What about you?" you ask, looking out the window, the sky is bright, "What time is it?"

"During lunch," Nioh said, "Anyway, today's class is boring, so I skipped class by the way, puff."

It seems easy to be weak when you are sick, and the touch of being cared for by others makes you feel the urge to cry.

"What's wrong?" Niwang looked at you.

"Thank you Nioh-sama."

"It's okay, by the way, I saw porridge downstairs in the kitchen, I'll go and warm it up for you." King Ni said, helping you sit up, and then went downstairs to bring you a bowl of porridge.

Of course you didn't make this porridge.

I don't know if Nioh noticed anything unusual?

After you finished your porridge, you solemnly said thank you again.

The aftermath of this illness is huge, and you deeply feel the powerlessness of a person. Although there is a familiar to take care of you, it cannot satisfy your emotional needs.

Nioh comforts you when you need it most.

but……

This is not enough.

"You don't seem very happy recently." Uncle Ronnie's voice came from the receiver.

"Maybe it's autumn." You said.

"Forget it(まあいい), I'll give you a present."

"Gift?"

"A game that should appear on your phone after a while," he said, in a sigh-like tone. "Be happy, Naoko."

Autumn is a very sad season.

Whether it's the withered leaves or the bleak autumn wind, waking up at night always makes people feel a little sad.

In other words, your state of mind is in harmony with the classic taste of autumn.

The low mood of the past few days is like the continuous patter of autumn rain.

One day, when you just opened the door, you saw an unexpected person.

It's Isaac, wearing a blue navy suit and top hat, holding a cane in his right hand, which he raises to greet you.

"Hi, Naoko—"

When you see Isaac, tears fall.

Isaac, or rather, Masaharu Nioh did not expect you to have such a strong reaction, and he was a little annoyed and at a loss.

It was originally just a harmless joke, but it made you sad.

But then you suddenly ran up and said, "Can I give you a hug?"

Before Nioh Masaharu agreed, you hugged him.

Because the longing overwhelms the shame, and at the same time you are convinced that Nioh has a unique beauty for you.

Because of Nioh's tall figure, it looks like he is hugging you.

You put your head on his shoulder lightly, feeling his temperature, the long-term negative emotions found an outlet, and tears fell on his shoulder like rain, wetting a large area.

From such an intimate distance, he can smell your fragrance, that indescribable, pleasant smell of your body.

His heart was pounding, his speech was weak, Nio didn't know where to put his hand for a moment, and he had the urge to hug you back.

"Feel sorry……"

"Don't say I'm sorry," your voice was still wet, passing through the clothes against his neck and reaching his ears, "Isn't that Nioh-kun did this to comfort me, thank you, Nioh-kun, Instead, it should be me saying I'm sorry, just hugging like this without authorization..."

King Ni's ears turned red, he knew you buried your face in his chest.The chest that is very close to the heart.

Can you hear his heartbeat?

Thinking of this, my heartbeat seemed to be getting faster and faster.

You let him go quickly.

Then back to a polite distance.

"So it's intuition again this time?" Nioh asked.

You sit on the roof, and the distant horizon greets a noble sunset.

"Besides intuition, there is a reason."

"What's the reason?" King Ren looked at you sideways, the boy's silver hair was a little disheveled by the evening wind.

"Isaac's father and Miria's mother will never be separated. If father appears, then mother will definitely appear." You smiled slightly, as if you were recalling Ai Zac and Miria, so you revealed a rare rose-like bliss.

"I see."

"Thank you, Nioh-sama." You looked at Nioh, "Is the clothes you sent out wet?"

"Call me Masaharu." King Ni said, he stretched himself and lay down, "The clothes are already dry."

"Okay, Masaharu, then please call me—"

"Naoko," Nioh said directly.

You look at each other and smile.

He looked at you against the light, your outline was rendered golden yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun, the sun's light seemed to drip down your outline, forming circles of ripples, and there was a faint smile in those dark eyes However, like a vortex, it has an attraction that is difficult to break free.

"Puff." King Ren suddenly made a sound.

You smiled lightly, the laughter was very light, like a fluttering butterfly.

Nioh looked at you suspiciously.

"Because I think it's cute." You said, "Pfft, it's cute."

King Ni turned his face slightly, and his eyes drifted to the other side, "If you want to say cute, Naoko Mao Er Niang is the cutest..."

"Yazhi is a very unique person." You continued, turning your gaze to the horizon, the afterglow of the setting sun was submerged, leaving only a gleam of whiteness, "I envy you very much."

“It was fun to dress up as various people and make some harmless jokes.

"Because... I am a very boring person."

As Tezuka said, you live with him as the center.

When you leave Tezuka, you don't know what to do.

How does one live normally?

"It's boring." Nioh Masaharu straightened up, flicked your forehead with his fingers, and you looked at him in surprise.

He withdrew his hand and looked at you seriously, his green eyes reflected your shadow, "Just do what you want, and you won't feel bored, Pupina."

After he finished speaking, he took out a little yellow chicken doll from his pocket, squeezed it and handed it to you with a cute "chichi" sound.

You took the doll and squeezed it, but the doll suddenly exploded in your hand, and many festival ribbons exploded from the inside of the doll, all sprinkled on you and Nioh, and you left a picture in your hand. A picture of a big smiley face.

You stared blankly at King Ni.

King Ni: "Puff."
