I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

After the Great Cold comes the Spring Festival.

Because of Mu Lin's identity, Kato Megumi and Nishimiya Shoko specially spent an unusual Spring Festival with him at home.

"How strange! One of the leaves of the gentian has withered."

"Eh? So is my asphodel."

The two girls were communicating silently around the greenhouse.

Winter in Tokyo is snowy and cold.

In order to keep the lisianthus and evergreens fresh, they specially prepared a greenhouse.

Just to keep these flowers that have special meaning to both of them blooming.

But accidents always happen, and this time, coincidentally, something went wrong with both of their flowers.

"Flowers will bloom again, and withered leaves will fall off and grow again. Don't worry about such trivial matters."

Mu Lin was comforting her.

"Mo! Only Mu Lin-jun doesn't care about them at all! He knows how important they are to us!"

Kato Megumi complained on the side.

"Feel sorry."

The slight tone revealed some helplessness.

Mu Lin's apology was particularly heavy, exactly the same as his previous apologies for trivial matters.

He is obviously a heartless guy, but he suddenly apologizes frequently for no apparent reason, which makes Kato Megumi and Nishimiya Shoko think he is weird.

"Since you've apologized, I forgive you!"

"Ah."

......

2 month 14 day.

"Meow!"

This is the reaction of a furry black cat who was struggling to death at first but now has lost the meaning of his life and sees a young girl.

At this time, the sheriff was held under the armpits by Mu Lin and was kidnapped in a very uncomfortable posture.

"Eh?"

The girl in front of him, who had obviously dressed up specially and whose long black hair was as white as snow in early spring, looked at the black cat with some confusion.

"It is..."

"Looking for Sadako's tools."

"Tool... Isn't this a bad name? It's obviously a cute cat."

Yukinoshita Yukino corrected angrily.

As a cat lover, she feels obligated to protect the dignity of her cats!

"But it's the black cat you 'tortured' last time, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino said half-jokingly as she lifted her bag.

Not long ago, she and Hui were playing games in cat costumes and happened to talk about cats.

Kato Megumi also specifically talked about the experience of Mu Lin being attacked by public opinion for cat abuse a long time ago.

After her explanation, Yukinoshita Yukino finally understood the whole story, and the only doubt in her heart about Mu Lin was completely resolved.

"That's it."

Mu Lin did not refute.

As it was still early, the two of them were not in a hurry and took the bus slowly towards Chiba Village.

Sitting near the window at the end of the sparsely populated bus was a pair of black-haired boys and girls who looked like a couple.

This made some old ladies and grandmothers look on with a smile.

"What are they looking at us for?"

Yukinoshita Yukino's pretty face was slightly blushing as she hugged the sheriff, feeling a little at a loss.

By chance she heard the old ladies whispering to each other:

"How strange."

“Is this a couple traveling with their cat?”

"This handsome boy and this pretty girl look like a perfect couple. They will surely live happily ever after, right?"

"Hahaha, what an enviable young couple!"

"Just ignore them." Mu Lin replied calmly while looking at the scenery outside the window.

"Ah."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded slightly, but she couldn't help but want to listen to their gossip.

The long car journey was spent in a drowsy state.

Before she knew it, Yukinoshita Yukino fell asleep on her right side with her head resting on Mu Lin's shoulder.

After arriving at the station, she suddenly realized her negligence and became panic-stricken and blushing again.

"Why don't you ask Mother to send someone to pick us up?"

On the long mountain road, Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly asked.

She didn't realize that this strange question was ambiguous, as if it made her mother become Mu Lin's mother.

"Why are you asking me this question?"

"Feel sorry."

"Well, Chiba Village is just ahead. Let's go there and take a rest for a while."

Even though she had athletic talent, Yukinoshita Yukino, who had poor endurance, was already out of breath after walking such a long mountain road.

She and Mu Lin were resting in a izakaya in Chiba Village.

The old Japanese-style izakaya is small but cozy.

After ordering a few lunch items, Yukinoshita Yukino sat in the booth and drank water elegantly, glancing curiously at Mu Lin who was packing a suitcase opposite her.

"What's in this?"

"Looking for Sadako's props."

"What prop?"

"A thermometer or something."

"Can a thermometer be used to find ghosts?"

"Ah."

"How to use it?"

The look in Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes when she asked the question made Mu Lin look up at her.

Although the latter realized that he was being a little rude, he still stared at him and waited for an answer.

"How do you use a thermometer?"

"Take the temperature?"

"of course."

"So you judge Sadako's distance based on the temperature of the surrounding area?"

"Ah."

"That's it."

"Meow!"

The black cat next to Yukinoshita Yukino pulled her trouser leg and made her look down.

The cats she had met before were not very close to her. The Sheriff, the black cat, was the first cute creature to be so close to her.

This made Yukinoshita Yukino like it more, and she simply gave the food on the table to it.

The hand holding the food was scratched by the cat's tongue.

Her face was slightly red and she looked dizzy at the cute black cat that made her feel so healed.

"How cute."

A waiter passing by didn't know whether he was praising the cat or the girl who fed the cat.

In an instant, Yukinoshita Yukino woke up in shock, clenched her fist in front of her mouth to cover up her cough, and then looked at Mu Lin.

However, she found that the other party was still packing his suitcase and didn't even look at her, which made her feel annoyed.

"The Sheriff is so cute!"

"..."

"I heard it used to be very fierce, why has it become so docile now?"

"It's all thanks to Naoko and Hui."

"Yes, maybe it's the kindness of Naoko and Hui that made it gentle, but it still can't affect someone."

"Who is that someone?" Mu Lin asked, putting the suitcase aside.

"I don't know." Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head lightly.

"time to go."

"Ah."

After eating and drinking, Yukinoshita Yukino took out her wallet from her bag and went to the counter to pay.

The waiter at the counter looked at her strangely.

This took her and Mu Lin a long time to react after walking on the road.

"Oh, right!"

"?"

"Logically, we should pay for our meal on a 4-5 basis, right?"

"more or less."

Yukinoshita Yukino walked quickly to Mu Lin and stretched out her hand as if asking for a debt.

This made the latter pause for a moment before he said, "Why do you think I came here with you?"

"Pfft, just kidding, sorry."

The girl with long black hair smiled, like a flower in the woods.

"That's a good joke."

Mu Lin didn't know what to say, so he just gave a casual compliment.

A cool breeze blows on my face.

A man, a woman and a cat were walking in the woods.
