Peach Daifuku

On Monday.

The wind is cold.

Most of the pedestrians who appeared on the street at this time were hardworking social workers, all of them were tired and weak, as if suffering from an incurable disease.

Every Monday at the beginning of every month is the most inconvenient time, and people don't want to go to work at all.

Among the people waiting for their train at the train station, only Yotsuba was different.

"The weather is nice today."

Yotsuba's voice is clear and bright, her hands are pulled into her sleeves, only a few white fingertips are visible outside, her eyes are like a deer in the forest, clear and bright, full of vitality.

"The sky is very blue, the sun is very good, and the wind is very gentle, very suitable for running."

The community animals who heard the Yotsuba speak groaned in their hearts.

Obviously it was just a very ordinary light blue sky, the sun wasn't warm at all, and the wind blowing on the body was extremely cold.

"Stop talking." Naoki leaned closer to the Yotsuba's ear "It's easy to cause severe damage to others."

"Eh?"

Naoki pointed with his eyes: "For a social animal, early Mondays are not fun at all."

"Ahem, let's not talk about it." Yotsuba hastily covered her lips, and asked curiously, "Who was the last person to sleep last night?"

Sorry, Nino has issued an order, if Naoki speaks, he will be killed!

"I don't know, don't ask me." Naoki replied.

"Repeaters." Yotsuba puffed out her cheeks, "That's what you said last night, just say I fell asleep."

"There is no point." Naoki shook his head "With Ichika's personality, even if I say you are sleeping, she will definitely tell you a joke to test you."

Yotsuba nodded subconsciously: "That is very possible."

Ichika liked to prank and tease people when she was young, and dhe gradually restrained herself as she grew up.

Naoki said: "So it's all Ichika's fault."

"That is not true." Yotsuba replied, "Obviously it's all your fault."

Naoki said: "Then I will make up for it by telling jokes?"

"Just say it." Yotsuba clenched her fists, her face tightened, "I'm ready, so I won't laugh."

A person with a low laughing point, even if he is prepared, it is useless!

Naoki thought of a joke: "Once, Toothpick went shopping, and a hedgehog happened to pass by, so the toothpick waved and shouted 'Bus, please stop, I want to get on' ."

The four eyes face each other.

Yotsuba lasted for two seconds, and finally failed. She covered his stomach with one hand, and held Naoki's sleeve with the other, rested his forehead on Naoki's chest, and laughed with trembling shoulders.

"Ha ha ha..."

The social animals around her distanced themselves.

Going to work on Monday is already very difficult, and now they have to watch high school students' romance, they can't live up to this day!

The train arrived soon, Naoki and Yotsuba lined up to board the train and stood at the door.

With more and more passengers, the train quickly became overcrowded. Naoki stretched his arms around Yotsuba's waist, and said seriously:

"Careful your hair gets caught in the door."

"My hair isn't as long as Nino's, so I won't get stuck."

Yotsuba blushed and complained. nervously looking around.

No wonder Nino blushed yesterday, she was really embarrassed.

"Better to be safe than sorry." Naoki whispered "Even though your hair is short, didn't you say that."

"What are you talking about?"

"You pressed my hair."

....

The train arrived at the station unknowingly.

The two got off the train and went to the convenience store to buy rice balls, bread and milk for breakfast. There's nothing they can do, breakfast in Japan is really bad. There weren't even steamed bun shops or biscuit stalls in the streets or alleys.

Back at the apartment, Naoki fed the two hamsters first, had breakfast with the Yotsuba, then took everyone's school bags and went to school together.

"Just sent a message to Itsuki." Yotsuba looked at the cellphone, "Itsuki said that everyone is awake, and even Ichika didn't stay in bed."

"It's the first day after all, so getting up early is normal." Naoki said, "It's hard to say whether we can still get up early in the future."

"It's not hard to say, but I'm sure I won't be able to wake up." Yotsuba put down her cell phone and complained, "Ichika liked to stay in bed when she was little, but she still likes it when she grows up. I don't think she can change that in this life."

...

The sky gradually brightened.

The bright sunlight began to dispel the chill of the morning.

Naoki and Yotsuba walked for a while, and they met Ogata who was carrying a large school bag and was standing by the roadside waiting for it.

"Good morning, Rizu-san." Yotsuba waved and called out.

"Yotsuba-san, good morning." Ogata nodded slightly, then looked at Naoki, "Asakawa-san, good morning."

Naoki nodded: "Morning."

It was customary to go to school together. After greeting, the three of them walked to school together.

Not long after, they met another girl who wore a white headband and had her long blue hair tied into a refreshing ponytail.

"Fumino, good morning," called Ogata.

Furuhashi smiled quickly: "It's Ricchan and Yotsuba-san."

The three girls got together and chatted.

Naoki sharply noticed the reluctance behind Furuhashi's smile, and couldn't help but ask:

"What is wrong?"

"It doesn't matter." Furuhashi shook his head lightly and whispered, "...we'll talk when we have time."

Soon they made their way to the school gates, but the other four girls were still on their way and failed to join.

"Asakawa-san." Ogata looked expectant "Should we go to the club to play a game?"

"I'll put my school bag in class first." Naoki agrees.

Naoki is holding his and Itsuki's schoolbags, and Yotsuba is in charge of Ichika, Nino and Miku's schoolbags.

Putting his school bag down, Naoki went to the Chemistry club activity room in the compound building.

As soon as he walked to the activity room door, he saw two middle school students walking towards him.

"Nii-chan!" Rin ran up to Naoki on her short legs, and held out her little hand casually, "Where's my present?"

She asked for presents when she met, and it was really a cheap little sister.

"Forgot to buy it."

"Hmph, Nii-chan can't fool me. Onee-san said yesterday that you went to Sapporo Tower to buy presents together."

"Senpai, good morning."

Yuika wore an innocuous and sweet smile on her face, that quiet little angel look was very deceiving.

"Morning." Naoki nodded at Yuika, "The present is in the school bag, and I will give it to you in the library after school."

"Nii-chan, why are you looking at Yuika-chan when you talk to me?"

"Sorry, I was talking to Yuika."

Haven't seen him for a few days, and now 'meeting' Naoki at school. Yuika was actually quite happy, but she grew displeased after a while.

"Naoki-kun, good morning."

A sweet and pleasant voice sounded from behind.

Sayuki with black hair that reached her waist and a tall figure, like that of a graceful young woman, walked over, her chest swaying, causing many males to silently watch.

When Yuika saw Sayuki, she was irritated.

It's fine to go shopping with Naoki, but posting photos to provoke her, it's intolerable!

"Rin-chan, good morning." Sayuki waved her hand, with an elegant and sweet smile on her face, "I brought you a present, I'll give it to you later."

"Thank you, Sayuki Onee-san." Hearing that there was a gift, Rin immediately said sweetly.

Sayuki turned her eyes and looked at that Yuika, she didn't care about the hostility on Yuika's face, and said with a smile: "Yuika-chan also has a present."

Hateful!

I don't care about your souvenirs, the one prepared by the servant is enough!

Words of rejection swirled around his lips, but were eventually swallowed up by Yuika, she couldn't find a suitable reason for refusal, so she could only reluctantly say:

"Thank you, Tokihara-senpai."

Sayuki raised her hand to her ear, "I didn't hear you clearly, please say it again."

"Cow breast senpai, don't be too complacent!" Yuika almost exploded with anger, reached out and tugged on Naoki's sleeve, "Servant, kick her out!"

School is a public place, not even a teacher has the right to kick others out!

...

They walked to the activity room door, and Naoki raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"In."

Sekijou's voice came from the activity room.

Naoki pushed open the door, and besides Sekijou, Ogata had also arrived.

"Sawako-senpai, Ricchan, good morning."

Rin was the first to jump into the room, raised his right hand, and shouted joyously, his eyes shining, and his face full of anticipation.

"Call me Rizu senpai." Ogata vehemently denied.

"But Ricchan is better."

Sekijou quickly saw what Rin was looking forward to and couldn't help laughing: "This is a souvenir I bought in Hokkaido, Rin-chan and Yuika have both."

Rin immediately smiled, "Thank you, Sawako senpai."

Yuika was gentle and weak, and grateful.

When traveling, people usually bring home souvenirs which are mostly snacks or trinkets, usually only a few hundred yen, although they are cheap, they are an important part of women's social activities.

"I also bought a souvenir, it was in the school bag." Ogata said, "I'll take it."

"I will give it in the afternoon." Naoki sat beside Ogata, "Otherwise sensei will catch Rin for eating snacks in class, then she will stand in front of the door carrying a bucket."

"Nii-chan underestimated me." Rin complained, "I ate snacks in class, and I never got caught by sensei."

There's a knock on the door.

"In." Sekijou turned his head and shouted.

Open door.

Sayuki walked in. "I'm the only one in the calligraphy club, so it's very quiet, so I came to play."

Not long after, there was another knock on the door, and Furuhashi pushed open the door and entered.

"Good morning all."

As the most popular life mentor, Furuhashi rose to the top, and there were many responders.

"Onee-san, good morning."

"Furuhashi senpai morning."

"Fumino-san, morning."

"Fumino."

Naoki: "...Fumino-chan?"

Furuhashi tilted his head and turned his head with a smile: "What are you calling?"

Naoki changed his words: "Fumino-sama, good morning."

...

The Monopoly chessboard has been installed.

"I came first." Rin picked up the dice, "Game club officially resurrected!"

Sekijou said in an irritated tone, "This is Chemistry Club."

....

Four subjects in the morning passed.

Lunch break.

School canteen.

Naoki took his plate, walked to the corner where he usually ate, and sat down beside Miku.

"Class is so boring." Ichika propped her chin up with her right hand "Why don't we go to the dream world tonight?"

"I always feel like the dream world is very real." Yotsuba ate a piece of tempura and said curiously, "You heard that we have final exams, and you really are giving us an extra lesson in the dream world."

"I suddenly remembered the days when mother taught us to study when we were kid." Miku said in a gentle tone, "It was surprisingly tight."

"Miku don't talk about it." Yotsuba covered her forehead, as if remembering a terrible thing, "Don't ask mother to teach lessons anymore, I'm so wrong."

"Too late." Naoki said, "The dream world will be adjusted dynamically, and what is said in the future will not count, and what Miku said will not count."

"By the way, who was the person sleeping next to Asakawa-kun last night?" Ichika suddenly asked, "Is that a Yotsuba?"

"Ahem." Yotsuba choked and shook her head quickly, "Of course not me. I usually sleep early, how could I be the last?"

"That's weird." Itsuki asked curiously "You all said no, could it be that it is still a ghost?"

Ichika gently patted her cheek with her right hand: "Asakawa-kun, who slept last night?"

"Do not ask me." Naoki said seriously "I don't know anything."

Nino's order has been issued, if Naoki tells the truth, he will be killed!

"That person has been exposed," Miku said quietly.

"Huh, who's that?" Yotsuba asked curiously.

Miku drank the soup and said calmly, "Surely a talkative person, but she hasn't spoken today."

Naoki looked at Miku in surprise.

Amazing.

Naoki doesn't realize that Nino is still a detective girl.

Several girls looked at Nino together.

"What are you?" Nino blushed and said shyly, "I caught a cold and my throat was uncomfortable, so I didn't speak."

Ichika: "His voice is so normal, I can't hear the flu at all."

Yotsuba: "So it was Nino."

Itsuki: "This is Nino."

"So what if it was me?" Seeing that she couldn't deny it, Nino could only admit it, "Damn it, insomnia is so uncomfortable."

As she spoke, she glanced at Naoki bashfully.

She can admit that she fell asleep in the end, but Naoki must not tell her what happened next!

"I'm done eating."

Itsuki was the first to put down the bowl and chopsticks, patted his stomach in satisfaction, got up and said, "I'll buy some dessert."

Not long after, Itsuki returned with dessert, which was three large peach Daifuku.

Seeing the three peach Daifuku on the plate, Naoki couldn't help looking at Nino.

Shapes and silhouettes full of subtle déjà vu...

"What do you see?!"

The tips of Nino's ears were hot, and she stamped Naoki's feet under the table in embarrassment.

"Asakawa-san , cut the peach daifuku." Itsuki bought a total of three peach daifuku, "Just half a piece for each person."

"No." Naoki shook his head and said, "I can't do that."

"Eh?" Itsuki was taken aback, with a confused expression, "What do you mean by not being able to do it?"

Literally, Naoki just ate Daifuku last night, and his mouth is soft, so of course he can't do it.

"Move aside, let me do it."

Nino tightened his face, picked up the small plastic knife used for chopping, raised and lowered the knife mercilessly.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was school time.

Naoki took his school bag and headed to the library.

The winter trip is over, and the winter vacation is next week, and the number of people who come to the library to read and study has increased significantly.

Walking into the library, Naoki saw Nanjo sitting behind the lending counter, with his chin resting on his left hand, fiddling with his phone boredly, and Rin standing beside her.

"Nii-chan, you are here." Seeing Naoki appear, Rin waved happily "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Not long out of class is over, why did you wait so long! And what you are waiting for is not myself, but souvenirs!

Naoki walked over to his two younger sisters, opened his school bag, and took out his present.

"White chocolate."

"Chocolate from Rokkatei."

"Hokkaido nougat..."

Naoki took out three souvenirs and handed them to Rin, "That's it."

"There are still a lot of things that Nii-chan didn't buy," Rin muttered.

"I bought everything, and the suitcases are not enough." Naoki looked disgusted, "No, give it back to me."

"Of course I want it." Rin hugged the gift tightly, "You want to take back the gift that was given to your little sister, Nii-chan is too much."

Don't worry about scarcity but lameness, Nanjo naturally has his share of souvenirs in common.

As Rin left with the snacks, Naoki opened his school bag again, took out a box of presents and handed them to Nanjo.

"What's this?" Nanjo asked curiously.

"Hokkaido signature horse oil skin cream, lavender flavour." Naoki said, "I just bought a copy for you."

"Humph." Nanjo snorted softly, accepted the present, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, "Why don't you buy one for Rin?"

Because with the quality of junior high school children's skin, even without skin care products, there is no problem at all!

After finishing the present, Naoki walked to a corner where he often read books, only to see Asumi sitting at a table.

"Asumi-chan, good afternoon."

Naoki walked over to Asumi and sat down.

"Call me senpai." Asumi was annoyed, "Don't make a mistake."

"This is a Japanese tradition."

Naoki took out a souvenir from his school bag, and handed it to Asumi.

In addition to the signature snacks, there is also a bottle of lavender aromatherapy.

"Before going to bed at night, put aromatherapy next to the pillow, which can help you sleep." Naoki looked at Asumi, "Dark circles under the eyes are so heavy even makeup can't cover them up."

Asumi raised her hand to cover her eyes, and quickly lowered her hand again. Even Naoki's innocent face of getting up early has been seen many times, and the dark circles under her eyes are completely absent.

"Isn't it strange that I don't have dark circles?" Asumi said. "Only half a month left before the national exam. If I don't study hard now, when will I work hard?"

"All this time, I had to read until 1 o'clock every night, then get up at 7 in the morning."

"And then I had a dream last night."

"I actually had a dream that I was taking class notes at the auxiliary school, but before I finished writing, that bald sensei wiped half off the blackboard, I was so angry."

Lots of hatred surfaced on his face, it's no wonder that a being like a girl would hold grudges for several days because of a dream!

"I thought you were dreaming of me." Naoki shrugged.

"Tsk." Asumi folded her arms across her chest, "I dreamed you humiliated me."

"How is the buff effect?" he asked.

"...Not bad."

Asumi was telling the truth, the duration of the buff was indeed longer.

"Then do you want anything else?"

"Denial." Asuki blushed slightly, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and made a gesture of rejection, "I'm afraid my chastity will be tarnished, and the possibility of you becoming that beast is very high."

The buff effect is very good, but the processing is too bad.

Even after a few days, Asumi remembered what happened that night, and still curled up on her toes, feeling numbness coming from the soles of her feet.

She'd rather be kissed by Naoki for 10 minutes than be toyed with!

"Do not worry." Naoki complained, "Junior high school students are protected by the will of the universe, and I have no chance to become a monster."

Asumi immediately flew into a rage: "Kouhai-kun, believe it or not, I'm going to chop off your head!"

After saying a few words, Furuhashi and Ogata walked together.

"Asumi-senpai, good afternoon."

After greeting, Furuhashi and Ogata each gave gifts, and the three girls chatted quickly, and it seemed that there were endless topics between the girls.

Naoki was about to write a question, when his gaze suddenly landed on Furuhashi's finger.

"What happened to your hand?" Naoki asked.

Some clear red spots appeared on Furuhashi's fingers.

Asumi turned his head: "Is that smallpox?"

"It's frostbite." Furuhashi , shoved her hands into her sleeves, and explained, "I had so much fun in Hokkaido that I forgot to keep warm and accidentally froze."

Naoki said lightly: "Is that what happened that night?"

"Um."

Furuhashi agreed lightly.

Two nights ago, Kashima's cellphone was accidentally stolen. As she was running around in the snowy night, it was Furuhashi who was holding the cell phone to open the navigation. Back then, she didn't wear gloves for comfort.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Naoki asked.

Furuhashi shook his head: "Frozenges are not a serious problem, as long as I pay attention to keeping warm and cold, it will heal after a while."

"That's right." Naoki lowered his voice, "Wouldn't it itch to sleep at night?"

Furuhashi stopped talking.

It doesn't itch.

The fact was that not only did his hands hurt, but his feet also had frostbite, and she didn't know where it came from. When she went to bed last night, she was so itchy and sore that she didn't go outside in the morning.

"It turned out to be frostbite." Naoki said casually "I thought it was because you gained weight and was worried."

"I'm not gaining weight!" Furuhashi replied guiltily.

She has a body that tends to be fat, and she eats and drinks for three days and three nights in Hokkaido. It's strange that she doesn't get fat!

"Fumino got fat again?" Ogata bows down and says hopefully "Should we go swimming and stay fit with Sawako at night?"
