The girl under the cherry blossoms, her smile is like a flower

[Qing Gongfeng: Mr. Minister, once again, today is a really nice day. 】

In order to make his words more convincing, Qing Gongfeng took a photo and sent it.

On the field court beside the Sumida River, a group of teenagers stood there, facing the sunshine. On the river bank, many people held small umbrellas and watched with gusto.

[Qing Gongfeng: I strongly recommend that the Minister go out and take a look, embrace summer and embrace the world. 】

"Did you take the picture for Sister Rina to see?"

Chinatsu Yagyu asked, sitting shoulder to shoulder with Qing Gong Kaede. From such a close distance, Qing Gong Kaede could smell the fragrance of shampoo on her ponytail.

"Yes, and no, I also sent it to the president of my club."

They were sitting on the soft grass on the shore. There was a not-so-tall tree next to them. The shadow cast by the tree crown was just enough for the two of them to enjoy the shade.

Without an umbrella, I could only sit under the tree and couldn't see the field clearly, but it didn't matter. Neither of them had much interest in baseball.

"Girl?" She asked the club president Qing Gongfeng mentioned just now.

"Correct."

"very beautiful?"

"Ah."

"Ah."

"..."

For some reason, Qing Gongfeng always felt that this word was particularly ironic.

"What does Chinatsu mean?"

"Who knows."

Yagyu Chinatsu turned her face away, but the corners of her mouth raised a bit. For some reason, every time she saw Qing Gongfeng's speechless expression, she felt a little relieved.

Maybe it's the rebellious phase?

She doesn't quite understand, maybe it's also a form of coquettishness?

"As I told Chinatsu before, Nanamori forces students to join the club."

Qing Gongfeng looked serious.

"Other clubs are too noisy, but this one is quieter. That's why I joined."

He pulled out a piece of grass and waved it randomly in the air.

"The atmosphere in the tea club is very good, I like it very much, and Rina has recently joined this club."

"So now Rina-san has to participate in two club activities?"

"Yeah, but you can also draw in the tea club. Also, maybe Chinatsu will come there next year."

Qing Gongfeng laughed out loud as he thought about the scene where several girls gathered together.

"It will be all girls then, which will make you very happy, right?"

Yagyu Chinatsu wrinkled her little nose, feeling a little awkward just thinking about it, but then she thought that she might live in his house next year, so that little awkwardness disappeared.

Anyway, I was watching from the sidelines.

"No, no, not at all." Qing Gongfeng couldn't hold back his lips.

"Hmph! You're like an idiot, do you really want to be with a girl?"

With a slight snort, Chinatsu Yagyu turned her face, looked at him and said.

"Ah no," Qing Gongfeng shook his head, "The reason why I'm happy is that I can see Qianxia there."

"Really?"

They looked at each other, and the breeze blew the hair on both sides of Yagyu Chinatsu's hair, and it fell on Qing Gongfeng's face, tickling.

"Swear to the Sumida River." He held up four fingers.

"Trust you once."

Yagyu Chinatsu pushed her messy hair behind her ears, and her eyes softened.

"Thank you, Chinatsu-sama."

Qing Gongfeng smiled and cupped his hands. Seeing this, the corners of Yagyu Chinatsu's mouth raised, smoothed, raised, and smoothed again, and finally couldn't help laughing.

The sun shines through the treetops, and a few rays of light finally get into the gaps between the leaves after going through all kinds of difficulties, greedily stroking the girl's cheek.

This was not a special moment, nor did anything special happen. It was just an ordinary syllable in Summer Rhapsody:

The two looked at each other, one laughed first, and the other laughed too. The sun passed through the branches and the wind blew, that's all.

A warm feeling brewed and fermented in her heart, as if she had drunk wine, and she blushed.

Stretching her legs over, her voice sounded a little coquettish.

"After walking for a long time, my legs are a little sore."

"I just said it, in the end it's you who will suffer, but you still don't believe it."

Qing Gongfeng was indifferent.

"My feet are a little sore too."

"...I really can't help it. Let me squeeze it for you. Don't do this next time."

Helplessness is mixed with concern. Qing Gongfeng expresses this emotion so vividly that if you are not an acquaintance, you really can't tell that he is acting.

"Good~"

Yagyu Chinatsu smiled, her previous guess was indeed correct.

Qing Gongfeng lifted her legs and put them on his lap. Because of this, Yagyu Chinatsu's body leaned back, and she supported herself on the grass with her backhand.

She took off her shoes, the weather was a bit hot, and she walked a lot, and her feet were also warm. Just simple white socks looked very nice.

Qing Gongfeng held it in his hand and squeezed it gently with moderate strength.

"How strong is this?" He was looking for something to say when he was running out of words.

"Well, it can be a little heavier."

Yagyu Chinatsu replied, her eyes shifting from Kiyomiya Kaede to the sky. Her posture was very suitable for this action.

There was a cloud above them that looked like a hydrangea.

Yagyu Chinatsu felt like she was lying on a cloud.

"it is good."

The corners of Qing Gongfeng's mouth rose, and he bent his fingers and scratched twice.

"..."

When there was no response, he scratched it twice more.

He raised his head, and Chinatsu Yagyu was looking at him faintly.

"childish."

"What's childish? This is called childlike innocence."

Qing Gong Feng's face was a little worried.

"Childlike innocence? Is it different from childishness?"

"Not the same, of course not."

"Humph~"

This sound sounded like an answer, but not quite like it. The tone was so good that it could make the water in the Sumida River nearby surge - if there was a river demon who liked the cute voices of girls living in it.

"Onii-chan, idiot~" This was a cuter voice.

Qing Gongfeng asked with surprise: "What did Qianxia just call me?"

"Idiot?" Chinatsu Yagyu tilted her little head and said with a cute look on her face.

"That's not it."

"That's gone."

"Qianxia."

Qing Gongfeng held her little feet and rubbed them gently. They felt hotter than before.

It could be real, or it could be psychological.

"Gone."

She said with a smile.

Screams came from the crowd not far away, and the onlookers looked at the venue, each one more excited than the other.

Was it a home run?

It's unclear, the two of them were not focused on that.

Just like the TV, the TV is turned on in the room mainly to sound lively.

It's a relaxing summer time.

?

With a click, the image freezes.

The fiery red soup, medium-thick noodles, topped with a soft-boiled egg, supplemented with vegetables, bean sprouts, and beef, this is ramen that will whet your appetite just by looking at it.

Qing Gongfeng sent the picture to Hanayamain Chiyo, saying that he wanted her to walk around more and exercise.

Although the message I sent this morning showed that it had been read and received no response, it doesn't matter, as long as I can see it.

Yagyu Chinatsu ate the classic tonkotsu ramen. The white soup looked good, but the taste was a bit bland.

"Chinatsu, would you like to try mine? It's not very spicy."

He pushed his bowl over.

"It's really not spicy?"

"Of course, you see I don't drink much water."

Qing Gongfeng took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. This side was indeed not spicy, but it just looked a bit scary. As for the spiciness, it was spicier than the spicy chicken he made, which was completely acceptable.

Yagyu Chinatsu looked at the red soup there and hesitated for a while, then moved her chopsticks. She picked up a few, opened her red mouth, and ate silently.

He eats much more elegantly than Qing Gongfeng.

Also, although loud "sucking" when eating noodles in a ramen restaurant is a compliment to the chef's cooking skills, this practice has long been discontinued among girls.

Kiyomiya Kaede had eaten with Rina and Yagyu Chinatsu several times before, but they had never been like this, and the same was true for the girls he met at the ramen shop.

"How?" he asked.

"Hot! Give me some water!"

Yagyu Chinatsu's lips were red, and her face was also red.

Qing Gongfeng handed over the juice he bought. Halfway through, he realized that it had not been unscrewed, so he took it back, preparing to unscrew it and give it to her.

But Chinatsu Yagyu obviously couldn't wait anymore. She picked up the bottle that Qing Gongfeng drank and started drinking. This time she was much more heroic, like a swordsman.

"Forehead......"

Qing Gongfeng looked at the newly opened juice in his hand and the juice he had drunk in Yagyu Chinatsu's hand, and fell into deep thought.

Should I drink the bottle in my hand now, or give Chinatsu the bottle?

Just when Qing Gongfeng was still struggling, Yagyu Chinatsu had already screwed the lid on the juice and put it on the table. She glared at Qing Gongfeng. It was so cute that Qing Gongfeng even wanted her to stare at him like this a few more times.

"Is this what you mean by not being spicy?"

He blinked innocently.

"Some of the dishes I cooked before were quite spicy. Qianxia, ​​you also ate a lot."

"That's because... that's because there's still rice, and there's no rice to eat today."

Facing her gaze, Qing Gongfeng blinked again.

"is it?"

"Otherwise?" She replied angrily to Qing Gongfeng. Chinatsu Yagyu picked up her chopsticks and ate her tonkotsu ramen. Her little face was red. She didn't know whether it was shame or anger. Of course, it could be both. All.

Qing Gongfeng could only bring his ramen bowl back. He picked up a few noodles and ate them too.

The spiciness is average and completely acceptable.

After eating, the two walked out of the store. It was already past twelve o'clock, and the sun was directly above their heads, so it was naturally a bit hot.

They looked at the sun-baked earth.

"It will be so hot." This was Qing Gongfeng's voice.

"Yeah, absolutely."

Yagyu Chinatsu agreed very much.

They unscrewed the cap of the juice bottle at the same time and took a sip.

After drinking the cold juice, they were refreshed.

"Would you like to go back?"

"Uh-huh!"

Yagyu Chinatsu nodded, and her ponytail was stained with the smell of ramen. Fortunately, the ramen shop had air conditioning, otherwise her clothes would be soaked with sweat.

Even if you stand in the shade and do nothing, you will start to sweat.

She wanted to go back and take a good bath.

"Let's go then, it's really going to melt away now."

"Me too, let's go, go back and teach me my homework." Chinatsu Yagyu tugged on Qing Gongfeng's sleeve.

"it is good."

There is no way to take the tram here. Qing Gongfeng said he wanted to take a taxi, but was stopped by Yagyu Chinatsu.

"Taking a taxi is so expensive, so how about walking back? It's not that far."

The kendo girl said this with a firm attitude, but Qing Gongfeng could not say anything.

"Then go to the convenience store and buy an umbrella."

Qing Gongfeng pointed at Rosen next to him.

"Well, that's fine."

"Okay, then Chinatsu will wait a moment."

"Ah."

She folded her hands on her lower abdomen, as if waiting for her husband to return.

Opening the door, Qing Gongfeng walked out holding a black long-handled umbrella.

He was just about to speak, but the door behind opened again.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

The convenience store cashier followed, a young woman.

"Huh? Is there something wrong?"

The young woman glanced at Yagyu Chinatsu who came to Qing Gongfeng's side, and said with suppressed disappointment.

"Look at the change, right? It seems like 50 yen is missing."

"no problem."

Qing Gongfeng had already read it once when he took it over, so there would be no mistakes.

"Oh, ok, no less."

Saying this, the young woman smiled and turned back to the convenience store.

Qing Gongfeng opened the umbrella, and Chinatsu Yagyu walked under the umbrella, and the two of them leaned shoulder to shoulder.

"You can attract girls even if you buy an umbrella. As expected of you." She glanced at Qing Gongfeng and said sarcastically.

"Huh?" Qing Gongfeng exclaimed in surprise. He sniffed his nose and said, "The ramen at noon didn't contain vinegar. Where did it get such a strong smell of vinegar?"

Yagyu Chinatsu was a little panicked at first, thinking it was the smell of sweat on her body, but when she lowered her head and sniffed several times, but couldn't smell any sour smell, she knew what Qing Gongfeng meant.

Her little hands appeared on Qing Gongfeng's waist.

Of course, Qing Gongfeng inevitably howled out.

"It won't be so gentle next time."

Chinatsu Yagyu showed off her little fangs, very fierce.

"OK OK, Chinatsu-sama, please rest assured."

"Hmph! You're so glib, go back quickly, it's so hot."

As he spoke, he got closer to Qing Gongfeng, as if to avoid the sun.

"Okay, okay, Chinatsu-sama can do whatever she says, but I don't want the younger one to carry Chinatsu-sama on his back."

"...I don't want it. It's so hot. Wouldn't it be even hotter if I carried it on my back?"

She hesitated before saying this.

"Well, Chinatsu-sama used to let the younger one carry her when she was little. I really miss her."

Qing Gongfeng raised his head and recalled, but he could only see the dark umbrella cloth.

"Who can remember what happened when I was a child?" Yagyu Chinatsu glanced at him and curled her lips.

"Yeah, I remember it all. Does Chinatsu still remember the first time we met?"

Qing Gongfeng was in high spirits, and he kept all the memories of meeting the girls around him in his heart. Of course, except for Senior Sister Qing Shui, there was a mysterious existence causing trouble.

"I forgot, it happened so long ago."

Saying this, Chinatsu Yagyu moved a little closer to Qing Gongfeng. Her expression was plain, but her eyes were very soft.

"At that time, I had just become my master, and I was very tired from practicing. I finally took a break and was about to take a shower. When I looked back, Qing Gongfeng, what do you think I saw?" Qing Gongfeng asked her with a smile.

"What did you see?" Even though she knew what Qing Gongfeng was going to say, Chinatsu Yagyu still raised her face and echoed.

"I saw a cute little girl who was so timid that she was almost scared to cry when I looked at her. But when the little girl saw that my head was covered in sweat, she still took out a wrinkled handkerchief from her pocket, and then stammered Baba said..."

"...Do you...do you want to...wipe, wipe the sweat..."

The two looked at each other, as if they had traveled through time at this moment.

At that time, Qing Gongfeng was still a little boy learning kendo, and Yagyu Chinatsu was still a little girl who was afraid of people.

Now, everything has changed.

They laughed.

Under the black umbrella, the two of them were very close to each other, and the road was straight.

On the black umbrella is the blazing sun and the sky is blue.

Summer Rhapsody is still playing.
