[Comprehensive] Manna's Summer

32#Huise's time

Kise Ryota stood in front of the vending machine, a little embarrassed.

"I forgot to bring my wallet..." he murmured.

The girl behind him patted his shoulder lightly.

"Sorry, do you still want to buy it?"

"Ah, no, you go first." Kise stepped aside, waved his hand, and walked slowly along the circuit towards the teaching building.

...so thirsty.

he thinks.

Or go back to the classroom to get the wallet and then buy it.

Just as he was making this decision, a girl's voice came from behind him calling his name.

"Student Kise!"

Huang Lai's footsteps paused, although he said impatiently "I'm so annoying, let me go back to the classroom and get my wallet to buy water, okay? I'm dying of thirst", when I turned around, I had already put on a professional smile .

"Huh? What's the matter? This..." He thought about the name of the girl in front of him, "Student Heizi."

Mana smiled and handed him the coffee.

"I just won a lottery... Do you want a drink?"

"Eh?"

Huang Lai was stunned.Subconsciously reached out to take the coffee.Mana raised her hand and pulled her long hair behind her ear, waved at him, and walked towards the teaching building.

"Then I'll go first, Kise-san."

After the girl's figure disappeared from Kise Ryota's sight, he lowered his head, looked at the coffee in his hand, and suddenly chuckled.

"It's really..." He pulled the pull ring, "The lottery button of that vending machine has been broken long ago, don't you know?"

When Ryota Kise came back to the classroom after drinking his coffee, he happened to see Erika Futekoji pulling Kuroko Mana and acting like a spoiled child.Mana touched her face and looked at her worriedly.

"It seems to be very listless, is it okay?"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom There's a problem!"

"Uh?"

"He took me to the bar to watch live last night! He didn't let me come back until five o'clock this morning! He didn't understand that I have to go to class today!!!"

"Uh... this seems to be too much..."

"That's right! Mana-chan, please comfort me qaq!!! I want to kiss, hug, and hold high!!!"

"Eh? Well, stop crying, give me a hug, come and give me a hug."

Erica smiled through tears, hugged Mana and rubbed her, and Mana stroked her head like a kitten, and settled down.

"What did Mr. Xun take you there for?"

"Let me listen to that female lead singer's singing... By the way, her singing is amazing! It's the first time I know that the bass can still sing like that! It turns out that the vibrato can also be used like that...It's amazing, incredible!"

"Really?" Mana was a little surprised, but then smiled again, "As long as Erica likes it."

"I want to learn that way of singing, do you want Mana-chan to join me?" Erica looked at her with bright eyes, "Let's learn together, okay?"

"...Although I really want to agree, but Kaoru-kun has assigned me other tasks." Mana turned on the phone and showed Erika the text message that Kaoru sent her, "Hmm... he asked me to learn Yodel singing. He said that if I practice this, my voice will be smoother."

"It's a pity..." Erica puffed her cheeks, "Erica still wants to learn with Mana-chan."

"It's okay, we're always together anyway." Mana smiled and stroked Erica's hair.

Kise Ryota looked at the two of them from a distance, her thoughts were a bit complicated.

At first, he didn't pay attention to his deskmate.After all, in his opinion, she was just an ordinary girl who was nothing special except being very beautiful.

The first time I noticed her was when she was sick and asked for leave last week.

Everyone in the class was discussing her illness, even Aoi, who was known for her arrogance and seldom interacted with others, seemed a little restless when she heard the news.For the first time, Kise Ryota enjoyed the treatment of being surrounded by girls in order to ask about his condition at the same table.

—I don't know her well.

It was hard to say this sentence, Kise could only smile, and dismissed the girls as if he was on an errand.

After the last girl who inquired about the news was sent away, he suddenly discovered——

——In this class, no one hates this person.

Only then did he remember the name.

—— Kuroko Mana.

In the past week, he paid a little attention. When people in the class discussed the name, almost all of them used praise and kindness, even joking without a trace of malice.

It's amazing, isn't it?

It is impossible for a person to please everyone, but she just did it.

Is she pretending too much, or is she really that good?Kise was very curious about this.

The class bell rang soon, Kuroko Mana pushed Erika Futekoji away, touched her head comfortingly, and then walked towards her seat.

Kise Ryota twirled the mechanical pencil in his hand, and he copied the way of turning the pen from Mana.After Mana sat down, Kise smiled apologetically at her.

"Sorry, do you have an automatic lead?" He clasped his hands together in a gesture of please, "I've run out of lead..."

"Eh? Let me take a look..." Mana opened the pencil case and showed a troubled expression when she opened the lead box, "I've run out of mine too... Eh? Wait..."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she took out the mechanical pencil and kept pressing the button on it, causing the long lead to spit out. She took out the lead and folded it in half from the middle, as if she had accomplished something extraordinary Things were as long a relief.A smile crept onto the corner of her mouth, and she handed the longer half to Kise.

"Let's make do with this first, and ask others if they have it after class is over."

Sunlight poured down from the clear glass window, reflecting the girl's face almost transparently.Two long three-strand braids hung down her sides like some kind of creature's tail, and the ends were tied in pretty bows with blue ribbon.Facing the sunlight, her eyes were reflected into a clear and beautiful blue without any impurities, looking at him so purely and quietly.Kise Ryota looked at her small reflection in her pupils, as if reflected in a pool of clear and shallow water.

Kise took half of the refill, thought for a while, and suddenly patted Mana on the head.

"From today onwards, I'll call you Little Mana."

"Aha?"

"That's the decision, Mana-chan~"

"...Huh? Kise-san...?"

"Don't call me Kise-san. Just call me Ryota." Kise closed one eye and smiled, "I want to be friends with you, Mana."

"Uh?"

"Then we'll be friends from now on, Mana-chan~"

"Eh? Eh—?"

Mana stared blankly at Kise Ryota, completely puzzled.

But from that day on, Kise Ryota became Kuroko Mana's friend.

***

Shizuka Kise recently discovered that her younger brother frequently mentioned a girl at the dinner table.

"Little Chennai made cookies in the home economics class today. I went to grab them but didn't get them. Fortunately, she left two yuan for me."

"Little Chennai sprained her ankle in physical education class today, and I carried her to the infirmary. Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and she will recover tomorrow. When I was out of school, I said to send her back, but she refused, saying that she The younger brother will take her back by bike—how did I not know that little Mana has a younger brother!"

"Little Mana brought snacks for Xiao Ziyuan today...Damn it, he didn't bring it to me! But Xiao Mana promised to make me a cake tomorrow~ I won't give Xiao Ziyuan a bite of it then! Let him refuse to give me a piece today!"

"Little Mana, she..."

........................

"Ryota, you seem to be talking about that girl a lot recently, is it called 'mana'?"

During dinner, Shizuka asked.

The elder sister is naturally very clear about the younger brother's habit of adding "little" in front of the names of people he really recognizes.So she was not curious about this girl who not only got Kise's approval, but also took up most of his talking time.

"Well, it's Mana." Kise nodded, "How should I put it... She's a very good girl."

"It's not easy to get a 'very good' comment from Ryota. I'm even a little curious, sister."

Shizuka rested her chin on one hand and looked at Kise curiously.

"Well, I must say what's good about her... I can't say it. But I think she is very good. She is a very good person and treats people very well. As long as I am with her, I feel very comfortable. Is there anything unhappy about it? , I don’t think it’s a big deal—anyway, there’s still someone by your side.”

"Sounds like a really good girl." Shizuka sighed, and then smiled narrowly, "But you are still young, puppy love is prohibited."

"...Where did you go, sister."

Kise Ryota couldn't help but laugh.

"I just think Mana-chan is a very interesting person."

Yes.

Kise Ryota quietly looked out the window.

——The kindness that treats everyone equally is indeed very interesting.
