Come Home With Me, You Are Responsible

"Furuhashi?"

In a daze, Furuhashi heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.

Furuhashi opened his eyes, and a very familiar face appeared.

"Asakawa-san..."

Sleepy eyes, and his voice was as soft as cotton candy, "Let's continue tonight?"

"I apologize for not letting Asakawa-san have fun yesterday…"

A drop of cold sweat fell on Naoki's head: "Don't talk in your sleep!"

Hey, stop talking! In just a few minutes, you are confused to the point of talking in your sleep, did you get a good rest last night?

Sure enough, while you were asleep, I had to use the method of pinching your face to wake you up, talking in your sleep at every turn, and inadvertently putting someone else on the must-kill list in the Thorns Club!

"Hum hum hum hum, I think I heard something extraordinary."

Asumi's muttering voice was heard from behind.

Furuhashi immediately woke up, turned his head frantically, "Asumi senpai?!"

A familiar library came into view.

Furuhashi endured for two seconds, and his face quickly turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ahhh! Did I fall asleep while studying again?"

"And also say such embarrassing sleep talk?"

"The dust-like me will kill myself when I get home tonight!"

"I'm sorry Asumi senpai!" Furuhashi's eyes filled with tears, "Forgive me for talking in my sleep like floating dust!"

"Un, it's not important." Asumi raised her hand to cover her mouth, with a faint smile on her face, "I'm more curious about what you and Kouhai-kun did after work last night?"

"Hum, I didn't let Asakawa-san have fun, so I continued tonight…"

"Please make sure to forget everything!" Furuhashi raised his hand and said with tears in his eyes, "Don't say a word!"

"I only invited Asakawa-san to dinner, I didn't do anything else!"

"Is it right?"

"O-Of course!"

Furuhashi nodded hastily, she wasn't lying, it was indeed just a meal, to feed Naoki... that kind of thing doesn't need to be said at all right?

Naoki looked up and saw Miku looking at it with glaring eyes. Even though she didn't speak, he could already say what Miku wanted to say: "Guilty, Harakiri!"

Naoki is a little confused, why is she puffing up his face like his steamed bun when he and Furuhashi don't bully you while eating?

Learn from Itsuki, eat meat buns while studying hard, and not be bothered by foreign objects at all. This is the right learning attitude!

"You look angry?" Naoki asked.

"Hmph." Miku turned her head, "Don't talk to me, super reckless Asakawa."

I myself did nothing, how can I complete the super-evolution of a normal Digimon!

"Itsuki knows why?"

"Eh?" Itsuki tilted his head to look, the crumbs of the meat buns still stuck to the corners of his mouth.

"Forget it, you keep eating." Naoki said to himself, "Clean your mouth after eating."

....

In the blink of an eye, it was 6 pm, and the study session was over, and Naoki walked into the apartment alone.

It was dark.

The street lights flashed quietly, making the entire city brightly lit.

Naoki was passing by the park where he had studied together before, and suddenly saw a tiny girl sitting on a park bench.

"Ogata?"

Naoki stepped into the garden.

"Eh, Asakawa-san?"

The girl in the gazebo raised her hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, it was Ogata Rizu.

When studying at the library earlier, Ogata left first after finishing his daily study assignments, and came home to help deliver udon take-out, Naoki did not expect to meet her here.

Currently, Ogata is no longer wearing his school uniform, and is wearing a work uniform with a hat on his head, looking like a little chef.

It's just that no matter how the clothes are changed, there is one outstanding feature that makes people distinguishable – the large chest under the clothes is called the traitor of elementary school students, and no baggy clothes can hide it.

If Furuhashi is set as the standard unit of chest volume, Ogata estimates there are as many as ten Furuhashi.

"What are you doing here?" Naoki asked casually.

"I just finished delivering udon noodles for the customers." Ogata replied earnestly as usual, "Rest here and play a game."

"Is this a board game?" Naoki looked at the stone table, "Is it fun playing alone?"

Ogata's eyes lit up, she sat up straight, and a flame called fighting intent blazed in his eyes: "Does Asakawa-san want to challenge me?"

"Challenge?"

Naoki's expression became serious, "Right."

His role as an educational instructor is not for awards. The real goal is to gather information and learn from the strengths of others. Unfortunately, after awakening his superpowers that spiral out of control from time to time, he's in trouble. Recently, now he had a good opportunity to gather information. Certainly not to be missed.

"Let me tell you about the gameplay…"

"Not." Naoki sat across from Ogata "I played this board game with Rin and Nanjo, I know the rules are very clear."

"Then let's get started."

Let's start this game.

Naoki showed vigilance and seriousness, facing a talented girl like Ogata who destroyed humans, he would lose completely if he wasn't careful.

Then...

"Eh, I won?"

Naoki won the game easily, but didn't feel the pressure, it was easier than drinking water and eating, he couldn't help but say: "Don't make this easy, show your true strength."

Ogata's expression was serious, "This is my true strength now."

"I do not believe."

Of course Naoki didn't believe it. How could a little genius girl be weaker than a stupid little sister?

"One more round."

"Un."

The second round was won again.

Naoki raised his eyebrows slightly: "One more round."

Third round...

Fourth round...

In the tenth round, Naoki who once again renewed his quick win record, threw the card in his hand and finally confirmed one thing.

Ogata is not lying, she does show his true strength, the problem is that the level of the board game is terrible, it's almost sad to hear that, and the audience is in tears.

"Very weak."

Naoki gave a rating.

"I apologize..."

Ogata was lying on the table with tears in his eyes, his body emitting a loser's aura.

"Do you like board games?" Naoki asked.

If it was me, knowing that I was weak as a paramecia, I wouldn't be playing with anyone else at all, much less fighting and failing and tenacious.

"I like it." Ogata wiped his eyes "How can I put it… I've always been really bad at things other than numbers and calculations."

"I understand."

With only two points on the literary test, you can't tell the difference between the central idea, the author's intent, what he's trying to say, and the subject of the article.

"Especially with regards to people's feelings, I don't know anything. When I was little, the neighbor's kid scored 70 points on the exam, and the neighbor's aunt was very happy. I said that the average score of this test after 80 points, I don't know why, the neighbor's aunt's smile suddenly disappeared…"

Crap, it's such a weird thing to make that aunty happy for kids who can't even get an average!

"Somehow, when I play console games with other people, I always lose, and I never win." Ogata's expression was calm, but his tone could not help but lose a bit, "I just thought if I could better understand the feelings between people, I should be able to win the game, right?"

"So." Ogata clenched his fists with a serious expression, "I decided to choose liberal arts, and then went to university to study psychology!"

Is that why you studied liberal arts?

I always feel a little unspeakable.

"Is there any problem?" Ogata tilted his head.

"Not." Naoki shook him head, no matter what other people's motivations were for studying, they were many times stronger than those who just hung out, went with the flow, and refused to put in the slightest effort. "You are cute."

Ogata was stunned for a moment, then looked away, his face slightly red, "You should be praising me, right?"

Hey, I know other people are praising you, so you don't have to repeat that!

"All in all, if you want to play board games in the future, you can call me, and I can introduce two friends to play games together." Naoki got up and said "You can go back now, don't come to the park alone in the future, it's not safe."

"Why isn't it safe?" Ogata is confused.

Of course, because you are obviously a high school student, but you have the development to make middle school students cry, if you are seen by those pedophiles, they will be shocked and want to lock you in the basement!

"So easy to meet bad guys..."

"Don't worry." Ogata pushed the glasses at the bridge of his nose, and took out two objects from his pocket that made the suspect tremble. "I have anti-wolf spray and a stun bat."

Naoki: "..."

Sorry, I thought too much, and nothing could stop the two guns.

"Who told you that there are only bad people in the garden?"

"Hah?" Ogata tilted his head, "Then what else?"

Naoki's expression became serious, he lowered his voice, and said quietly, "There are people who can neither see nor touch, and like to launch sneak attacks behind other people's back…"

"G-Ghost?"

Ogata clasped his hands on his chest, tears flowing from the corners of his eyes, his tiny body shaking.

Compared to this, Naoki is more worried about Ogata's uniform, always feeling that the next moment's 'dress stretch' will come true, thus achieving the achievement of blowing up clothes.

"Yes." Naoki wanted to say insects, but ghosts couldn't be wrong.

Although I have never seen the existence of ghosts, because there is a wild superpower like me, one day I will not tear down the worldview when I see a ghost.

The two walked out of the park, started the return journey, and soon reached the intersection.

"See you tomorrow."

After saying goodbye, Naoki turned around and was about to leave, but someone suddenly grabbed the hem of his shirt.

"Ogata?"

Ogata reached out and grabbed the corner of Naoki's clothes tightly, and whispered, "...Come home with me, you have to take responsibility."
