[Net King] Pilgrim

Machida always thought that the reason why she often felt inexplicably guilty in front of Echizen Ryoma after that duty was purely because her "shady" thoughts were accidentally bumped into by him that evening.

Of course, before this assumption is confirmed, she will often laugh at herself and feel that she plays too much.

At that time, when she heard the sound, she turned around immediately, her shoulders were raised high, and her eyes were still full of shock, obviously she was still in shock.

"Yue, Echizen-kun?"

Isn't he gone? ?

Echizen Ryoma was standing in the front corner of the classroom and was covering the trash can with a new bag. The sound just now should have been made when he firmly fastened the lid of the trash can.

Machida's scalp went numb for a moment.

"I thought you had already left." She breathed a sigh of relief, trying to sound casual, but then realized that it was stupid.

Like, I thought you were gone, that's why I started singing loudly?

Apparently, Echizen Ryoma's thinking was not so broad, he walked out from the shadow of the cut corner, looked up at her, "My schoolbag is still there."

As soon as Machida heard the words, he glanced at his seat and pursed the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.

...I'm afraid I'm not a fool.

She is not very good at dealing with this kind of situation that is not in line with the expected direction. She was about to say something, but found that Echizen Ryoma walked to the edge of the podium, and naturally picked up the mop she was leaning on just now, and put it back in the bucket to soak took a dip.

Realizing what he was going to do, Machida stopped him subconsciously: "Wait a minute!"

Echizen Ryoma paused the hand holding the mop, then turned to look at her.

Time stood still for a moment.

When she met the other party's suspicious eyes, she realized that her behavior was a bit aggressive, and then adjusted her tone to explain: "I mean, let me mop the floor. Echizen-kun, you have already wiped the blackboard and swept the floor. Garbage." She paused when she said this, and looked over his shoulder to look at the trash can that scared her out of her body just now, "I'll do the rest, you can go back first."

The wind that sneaked in from the window poured down the collar of Machida Kazu's school uniform, gently brushing off the sweat that had grown on her body due to the busy work just now, and gave her a shudder in the slightly sluggish weather.

She concealed this little action quietly, but when she vaguely saw Echizen Ryoma's corner of his eyes adding some inadvertent laziness, she instantly felt that she might be about to fail.

He turned his eyes slightly, and slowly drained the dripping mop, "Who said I'm going to mop the floor."

Then, as if to prove that he really didn't have this idea, he slowly removed the bucket, stretched forward the arm holding the handle of the mop, and made a gesture of handing it to her.

"..."

At that moment, Machida suddenly discovered that many things that happened today did not meet expectations.

Because she will be on duty after school, she originally wanted to go to the office before the afternoon class to get a handout for next Monday's English class in advance, but she thought that Teacher Takasugi used to decide the content of the next class according to the progress of the class, so she had no choice. I didn't wait until the last class, but what I waited for was an English test.

After the quiz, she hurried to the office, and when she learned that Mr. Gao Shan, who was on leave next Monday, handed her the handouts and exercises, she responsibly instructed a few more words. Although there was a delay, it was probably just right Come back to clean up.

But not long after she went out, she saw a girl in the next class leaning against the handrail of the stairs with a pale face.

She stepped forward to inquire with concern, thinking that it would be better to send her to the infirmary just in case, but there was no one in the corridor after school for a long time.

At that time, Machida had imagined a lot of possibilities that would happen beyond her expectations.

as predicted.

After she settled the girl, she rushed back to the class from the infirmary on the first floor, and at the same time, she prayed in her heart that she would still be in time to help the students in the same group share some tasks.

But this "student in the same group" who she prayed for a long time to help called her by the wrong name.

In fact, Machida had gotten used to this kind of thing a long time ago.If you only listen to the pronunciation of her name, you will write it wrong, and if you only read her name, you will mispronounce it.

The strange thing about her is that she has been in the same class for so long, how could anyone not know?

But this has never been too important to her.

She was a little sorry to let Echizen Ryoma go home first, but then she was tripped by her own "taking it for granted".

Now I mistakenly thought that he was going to help me mop the floor...

So in the end, only the intuition is accurate as expected?

Machida felt a slight headache.

Maybe it was because she was too speechless, Echizen Ryoma slightly raised his eyebrows, "Repent?"

She shook her head, suppressed the depression in her heart, and walked towards him very calmly. When the distance was close, her eyes fell on his left hand holding the mop unconsciously.

His fingers have clear lines and well-defined joints, and the outside of the palm is slightly light brown.As soon as Machida saw small blisters between his slightly curled fingers, he remembered that he was the main player in the tennis club.

The moment before she took the mop from Echizen Ryoma's hand, she raised her eyes subconsciously, but she suddenly bumped into a pair of bright amber eyes.

He looked at her at the same level, his eyes looked indifferent, and the thought that flashed through her mind was that she was worried that her burning gaze fell on his hand a second ago, would it appear too offensive?

The person in front of her seemed to be wandering, and Echizen Ryoma looked at her calmly, "Is there any problem?"

As soon as Machida regained consciousness, she suddenly felt embarrassed, "No, I'll mop the floor." She looked away, quickly took the mop from his hand, and continued with the unfinished task just now.She doesn't have much contact with Echizen Ryoma, but she also knows that he is not a talkative character, and she herself is not a person who gets along with her classmates. It may be a bit reluctant for the two to cooperate happily, but peaceful cooperation is still possible.

Echizen Ryoma turned around and walked to the blackboard, took out the chalk box from under the podium, picked out a few pieces of chalk and put them into the slot on the board.

The light reflected on the floor became brighter and brighter. Machida took a sigh of relief after finishing the last group of seats, dragging his mop to the front of the podium.She was about to lift the bucket when the light and shadow in front of her eyes suddenly dimmed.

"I'll clean these up." Echizen Ryoma walked up to her, bent over to pick up the bucket, then stretched out his other hand in the air, and looked up at her.

Machida was stunned for a moment, and originally wanted to say that he would go by himself, but when he saw his cold eyes, he felt that it might be useless to say it, so he handed the mop in his hand, "Then I will trouble you."

When Echizen Ryoma returned to the classroom from the laundry room after cleaning up, Machida Kazu was closing the open windows one by one on tiptoe.

Hearing the voice, she turned her head, "Echizen-kun, you have worked hard."

"It's nothing."

As soon as Machida saw him walking to the seat with no expression on his face, he smiled and said to him, "Then, have a nice weekend."

After saying that, she continued to look out the window at the Huoshaoyun in the sky. The red clouds were so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off them.She was in a daze for a moment, "I don't know if there will be such a sunset after autumn."

Echizen Ryoma raised his eyes to look at her, and the reflection of the setting sun made her cheeks flush.He followed her gaze to see the fiery scene outside the window, the clouds were very low, and the warm temperature could easily remind him of the tennis club at the end of training in the midsummer evening.

His eyes suddenly softened, and he stood unconsciously looking out the window for a long time.

Finally, he glanced at the person in front of the window who was pulling out his mobile phone and pointing it at the sky. He picked up his schoolbag and left the classroom, "Have a nice weekend."

Machida didn't know when Echizen Ryoma left.At the end of the immersion in the sunset, she complained slightly: "The seniors are really lucky to occupy the wide view of the high floors."

She returned to her seat and put the exercises on the table into her schoolbag, thinking that she had gone full circle today.

And <风のMemory> seems to have not finished singing?

She stopped what she was doing and tilted her head to think about the line she sang just now. After a few seconds, she closed her eyes and shook her head, ready to go home.
