Gathering at night

When returned to Tokyo, it was already 8:30 pm.

"I didn't expect to come back once I woke up." Sekijou's eyes were lazy and she stretched, "Goodbye everyone, I'll be back."

Ogata looked up and said, "Sekijou-san, pay attention to safety."

"Eh?" Sekijou's eyes widened in surprise, his white cheeks quickly turned red, and she was surprised, "Ogata-san cares about me?"

"Correctly."

"I am very happy!"

Sekijou felt the shock and joy in his heart almost overflow. Ogata really took the initiative to take care of herself. The efforts over this period of time were truly not in vain!

"It's very late." Furuhashi said in a soft voice, "Rin-chan, don't run around on your way home, remember to text me when you get home."

Rin shook her head, her ponytail gently swaying behind her back: "I'm not coming back."

"Eh?"

"I have to walk alone at night when I come back, I'm so cute, what if I meet a pedophile?" Rin said narcissistically, "So I'm going home tomorrow."

Furuhashi had a bad feeling come into his mind.

Sure enough, Rin quickly revealed her plan: "I'm going to Nii-chan's apartment tonight and play with Nii-chan until dawn!"

"Cough cough."

Sekijou who was planning to leave suddenly coughed, covered his lips, and looked at Naoki.

She heard Naoki lived in an apartment alone, and his younger sister was not related by blood. The two of them played until dawn... What are they playing!

"Playing console games, of course." Naoki averted his gaze and looked at Sekijou, "What do you think it is?"

"I-I didn't say it wasn't a game."

Sekijou turned around guiltily.

"Playing game?" Ogata's eyes lit up a little, "Is this a board game?"

Rin asked curiously, "Are board games interesting?"

"This is very interesting." Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "I'll teach you after taking a shower..."

Before she could finish speaking, Furuhashi covered his mouth.

Say no more, Sekijou is already watching with suspicious eyes!

"Yuika-chan." Furuhashi hastily changed the subject, "Do you live far away? Is it okay to go back alone?"

Yuika blinked her eyes, her small face quickly showed a bashful expression, her fingers pinched the corners of her clothes, and whispered:

"Furuhashi senpai don't worry, Yuika isn't afraid…"

"Yuika-chan, don't be afraid, go to Nii-chan's apartment with me at night?" Rin did her part to stand up, and it was her duty to see if her friend was in trouble, "Wait until I come back tomorrow, Nii-chan won't dare to bully you."

Yuika looked hesitant, looked at Naoki timidly, and whispered:

"Will it cause trouble for senpai?"

Naoki was expressionless.

If you know I'm in trouble, come home quickly! The residence is not secluded, not until you dare not go home!

"No problem." Rin muttered "Mom always said that Nii-chan is too withdrawn, and maybe he will die alone in the future, cute and pretty girl should go to his apartment to play, he's super happy in his heart?"

Naoki looked disgusted: "Sorry, I'm not happy at all."

Not to mention super troublesome.

Carrying Yuika, Furuhashi already doesn't know what to do!

"Onee-san." Rin stretched out her hand to hold Furuhashi, and of course didn't forget about Furuhashi. "It's late, it's very dangerous to go home alone, come with me to Nii-chan's apartment?"

"It..."

Furuhashi's smile was a little stiff. Without your invitation, she was already planning to return to the apartment, but now she doesn't know what to do.

Why don't I go to Ricchan's house to rest tonight?

"Bad!" Furuhashi suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly became serious, "I have to go back!"

When she came out in the morning, his clothes were still hanging out on the balcony and didn't take them back, if Rin saw them, they would be caught!

"So." Furuhashi forced a smile, "It's a bit late to return alone… I can only annoy Asakawa-san."

Ogata didn't speak, she walked straight to Furuhashi's side, clearly not planning to go home.

After several girls finished their discussion, Naoki put down the phone and said:

"Then let's go, the weather is very hot, come back to shower early."

"Wait a moment." Sekijou's shout suddenly rang out, "I'm going too."

Furuhashi turned his head and looked surprised: "Sekijou-san? You're going too?"

Rin was surprised:

"Sekijou Onee-san hasn't left yet?"

"I've been standing on the side the whole time!" Sekijou took a deep breath and said, "You all said it was a very dangerous night, and I'm a little scared right now. ...Sure enough, I'm still with you and come home tomorrow?"

Not true.

Very wrong.

Hearing Ogata's words just now, Sekijou was already suspicious, after thinking about it for a while, an extraordinary guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

When we gathered at the train station this morning, Asakawa, Furuhashi, and Ogata gathered.

She didn't think much of it at the time, she thought it was just a chance encounter.

But what if... it wasn't a chance encounter?

Furuhashi asked: "Un, if Sekijou-san doesn't come back at night, won't Aunt be worried?"

"Don't worry." Sekijou waved his hand, "Like Asakawa, I live in an apartment outside alone, so I don't have to worry too much."

Furuhashi couldn't find a reason to refuse, so she could only agree: "It's fine..."

"That is why." Naoki said speechlessly, "I am the head of the family, if you want to stay overnight, you should ask me, right?"

Sekijou snorted softly, "Furuhashi is the head of the family, and what she says is more useful than you."

"Coughs." Furuhashi blushed, and hastily coughed, "This is the end of the chat, hurry up!"

So the girls who were planning to return to their respective homes, once again followed behind Naoki.

It was 10 o'clock at night.

Naoki had returned to the vicinity of the apartment with a few girls.

"Asakawa-san."

The corner of his clothes was suddenly pulled silently.

Naoki turned to look at Furuhashi and cast a suspicious look: "What is it?"

"I forgot to keep my clothes." Furuhashi stood on tiptoe slightly and whispered in Naoki's ear, "You hold off for a bit, I'll come back and put the clothes away."

Naoki said wordlessly, "As long as you are innocent, someone else is at fault."

"How could I not have a guilty conscience!" Furuhashi glared at him, "In short, we must not let others know about the joint lease!"

"Yes." Naoki looked at Rin who was walking in front and shouted, "Rin, wait a minute."

"Nii-chan?" Loli Rin looked suspicious "Why did you call me?"

"Come with me to the supermarket to buy some fruit."

"Yes."

Naoki and Rin went to the supermarket, and the others followed.

Furuhashi quietly landed at the end, watched a few people walk into the supermarket, and hastily turned around and slipped away. She had a spare key on his body and was able to return to his previous apartment to eliminate evidence.

Walking into the supermarket, even though it was already 10 pm, there were still a lot of customers, and the place would not seem deserted, they were almost all social creatures who had just finished working late.

Japanese ingredients and bento have a tasting period. As time passes, even if they are not damaged, they must be discarded and cannot be sold in supermarkets.

Therefore, in order to sell bento and dishes as soon as possible, every 9 pm, there will be a discount promotion in the supermarket, 50% discount, 40% discount and even 30% discount on promotional items.

Many people will wait until 9 pm to return to the supermarket to shop, this is one of the Japanese supermarket culture.

Too bad it's already 10pm, and haven't been able to see the bustling shopping scene yet.

Snacks, fruits, drinks, ice cream... The girls bought a few things one after another, Rin saw a lot of half price sashimi in the seafood area, and couldn't help but take grouper sashimi and peony prawn sashimi.

"Nii-chan, do you want to eat sashimi?"

Rin looked ahead.

"It's 10 o'clock now."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of being fat."

Naoki looked disgusted: "No pocket money."

"What, it's not like I didn't give it to Nii-chan when I bought it back."

"Asakawa-san." Ogata reached out and grabbed Naoki's shirt, with a serious expression.

"What is wrong?"

Naoki looked down.

"Fumino is gone." Ogata whispered, "I haven't seen him for a few minutes."

Naoki thought for a moment, Furuhashi's whereabouts didn't need to be kept secret from Ogata, he squatted down and whispered in Ogata's ear:

"Don't worry, she'll come back to tidying up the room first."

Ogata's ears trembled slightly, and his little face quickly turned red.

"Don't bully Ogata-san!"

Sekijou who was always watching Ogata, she quickly blocked in front of Ogata.

Ogata whispered, "Asakawa-san isn't bullying me."

"I saw everything." Sekijou's eyes were wary, "Girls come out, you have to protect yourself."

Naoki went to the fruit area and bought bananas and watermelons, previously there was still a lot of extra income, so buying watermelons wasn't a problem at all.

Girls seem to like shopping in supermarkets naturally. They didn't buy anything, and 10 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Except the other Sekijou soon discovered that Furuhashi was missing.

"What about Furuhashi-san?"

Sekijou was the second person to discover that Furuhashi was missing.

Yuika tilted her head: "I feel like I haven't heard Furuhashi senpai speak for a while."

"Onee-san is leaving?" Rin was the last to react, and hastily looked around, "Is she lost again?"

It took a long time to find out that Furuhashi is gone, you really only have food in your eyes!

"Asakawa." Sekijou looked up, "Where is Furuhashi?"

Naoki put the wine in his hand "Why ask me?"

"Furuhashi is gone, you're not worried at all?" Sekijou complained, "You clearly know where she is."

Naoki: "😐"

Careless.

I didn't expect this girl to suddenly be smart.

Naoki was thinking about how to answer, when Furuhashi's voice suddenly rang: "I'm here!"

Furuhashi hurriedly ran over, and panted slightly, "I just went to the bathroom, so everyone is worried."

Rin heaved a sigh of relief, "I think Onee-san is choking again."

"Furuhashi didn't get lost before." Naoki said wordlessly, "Obviously you're the one who got lost."

"That is not me."

"That is you."

"Nii-chan is too biased!"

"Cough Cough." Furuhashi hastily coughed twice, "Hurry up and buy things, come back after shopping."

...

After settling the bill at the cashier, Naoki returned to the apartment with the girls.

"Excuse me."

With a serious expression, Sekijou walked to the entrance and carefully looked at the surroundings of the apartment, as if a policewoman was investigating a crime scene.

"It looks super clean, no instant noodles, no socks scattered about, and no weird smells in the air..."

The corner of his eye fell on Ogata and when he saw Ogata take out a pair of sandals and put them on, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Sure enough, Ogata-san has been at Asakawa's apartment for a long time."

What Sekijou didn't know was that apart from her, everyone else were regulars, and even Yuika had come to play a few times.

"Scorching hot." Rin didn't wear slippers, ran into the living room barefoot, took the empty remote control and turned on the air conditioner, "Nii-chan, go and close the window."

Naoki put the fruit in his hand and instructed, "Don't be in a hurry to eat, take a shower first."

"Oh." Rin agreed and looked at Yuika "Yuika-chan, can we take a bath together?"

Yuika agreed gently and weakly.

Rin said again: "Onee-san, do you want to take a bath together?"

"I don't." Furuhashi shook his head, "The bathroom isn't that big…"

Seeing Sekijou turn his head, Furuhashi hastily said, "It shouldn't feel too big, the three of us must be crowded, so you and Yuika-chan should take a shower first. "

When two middle school girls entered the bathroom, the living room suddenly became quiet.

"I haven't studied." Ogata sat on his knees in front of the table, "Fumino, where's my school bag?"

"Eh, school bag?"

Sekijou narrowed his eyes again.

Why is Ogata saying this?

Could a school bag be in this apartment?

"Ricchan forgot? Left her school bag at my house last night." Furuhashi hastily said, "It's past 10 pm, so don't study too late."

Ogata's eyes were a little hopeful: "Playing playing cards?"

"No problem." Furuhashi took the remote control and turned on the TV, "Asakawa-san, do you have a playing card?"

You just played it a few days ago, and you finally saved it, of course!

"There should be." Naoki didn't change his face, "I'll take it."

...

After playing playing cards for a while, two junior school girls came out of the bathroom, and Furuhashi asked: "Sekijou-san, do you want to take a bath with Rivchan? I'll take a shower later. "

Sekijou's eyes lit up, and hastily agreed: "No problem."

"No change of clothes… You can only wear Asakawa-san's clothes, will you?"
