[Digimon DA] Parallel Lines

When the children were discussing Takeuchi Sora's whereabouts, Tachikawa Mimi mentioned that she seemed to have seen her in the castle, and Agumon also remembered a familiar voice that looked like her advising it not to eat mushrooms.

They walked in the direction indicated by the digital badge, looking for Takeuchi Sora all the way.Even though she was nearby, but there was no sign of her, it made people anxious.Therefore, some of them suggested to rest today and continue tomorrow, so as not to encounter danger when it gets dark.

At this time, the Queen Bee attacked them, and they were almost stabbed by poisonous needles unprepared, but Badola appeared to save them.They ran in the direction Badoramon flew away, and finally found Takeuchi Sora, but the other party turned and ran away as soon as they saw them.Finally, Yagami Taichi and Ishida Yamato stopped her.

When they asked her why, she kept silent and was unwilling to confess. She didn't respond until Gao Shiwu who caught up with her asked her.

"Stewardess, do you hate us?"

"No...that's not the case..."

Haneda Chika, who was following Yagami Taichi, felt that it would be better for the youngest child to ask. After all, Takeuchi Sora was determined to keep silent, so even if the two of them asked, she would not tell them the truth, but the youngest Children can become a breakthrough, because such children are the easiest to touch the soft part of a girl's heart.Moreover, she was really afraid that Yagami Taichi would irritate Takeuchi Sora who was full of melancholy.

At this time, Haneda Chika couldn't be by her side to accompany her and relieve her, it felt terrible.

She'd never been so upset that she wasn't one of them.

Under the persuasion of Bichumon, she slowly told the truth.

After being separated from everyone, she and Bichumon embarked on a journey to find Yagami Taichi.But when she saw a little evil beast talking to a dark figure, she had an ominous premonition, so she quietly hid aside and eavesdropped.From it, she learned that everyone's badge has a unique meaning.

As she spoke, her expression gradually became sad.

"And mine...is a badge representing "Love"..."

"Represents love, this goes well with Sora!" Yagami Taichi's unintentional words caused a very strong reaction from the girl.

"How is it possible to match! Love doesn't match me at all!"

"Because... because, you always imagine for everyone..."

"Everyone is fine! You don't know what the real me is, so don't jump to conclusions!" She realized what she had said, was stunned for a moment, then bowed her head and apologized: "I'm sorry... "

Chika Haneda grabbed her clothes and couldn't help but speak.

Take Nei Sora doesn't trust the "love" in her heart, so any direct persuasion now can hardly make her change her mind.

Her badge, she said, was not illuminated.That day, the little evil beast discovered her hiding place and pointed out that she had no love, and her badge could not shine.

She knew that this sentence was nothing more than to shake her will, but she couldn't find any words to refute it.

Yagami Taiyi was very dissatisfied with her belief in Little Evil Beast, so he told her: "Are you an idiot? Little Evil Beast is a piece of nonsense, do you actually believe it?"

"No...it didn't lie."

She talked about her time on the women's soccer team, and how her mother didn't understand her at all because she only wanted her to carry on the flower arrangement business at home.

Her mother doesn't love her at all. As a child who grew up in a loveless environment, she can't understand the original meaning of "love".

Therefore, her "Heart" badge will not be illuminated.

Chika Haneda has actually seen it, the other side of the matter.

She knew very well that Take Nei Sora was not without love, and it was not that her mother did not love her.But she couldn't understand that it wasn't all her fault, and that her mother was also a dishonest person.

However, Chika Haneda was absolutely against her mother not loving her, but she couldn't explain it to her.

──If you really don’t love you, then just leave you alone...

──Just like...that woman.

A trace of hatred flashed in Haneda Chika's eyes, but she quickly came back to her senses, shook her head, and dispelled the bad memories from her mind.

The face of the woman with long chestnut hair is still clearly in her mind, appearing from time to time.

She told herself that she didn't care about that woman at all, but she didn't realize the deep resentment hidden in her heart.

She missed their conversation for a moment, she saw Takeuchi Sora bursting into tears like a child, and immediately glared fiercely at Yagami Taichi, she subconsciously attributed this situation to Yagami Taichi's "nervousness" of the girls ", stimulated to Takeuchi Sora.

Yagami Taichi was a little chilled, as if someone was staring at him with sharp eyes, making him feel uncomfortable.

The two boys and the little boy present were at a loss. They had no experience in dealing with the girl's crying.

"Hey... don't cry... Yamato, she's crying, what should I do?"

"If you want to cry, let her cry."

Ishida Yamato's performance looked very mature, but Haneda Chika felt that he didn't know how to deal with it, so he pretended to be cold.

Gao Shiwu actually didn't like the way everyone was arguing, and he didn't like seeing anyone cry.

He walked forward slowly, stood in front of Wu Nei Kong with tears streaming down his face, and thanked her.

"Stewardess, thank you."

She stopped crying and looked at him slowly, without reacting.

"Sister Sora told us not to eat that mushroom, right?"

Haneda Chika was about to applaud, she was obviously the youngest boy, but she was able to make the big sister in front of her stop crying for a moment.

In fact, the quickest way to stop someone from crying is not to comfort her, but to change the subject and make the other person forget the pain at that moment.She gave a soft "tsk" and glanced at the two boys next to her, really wanting them to learn.

It turned out that Takeuchi Sora and Bichumon followed the little devil beast and knew of its plot.In the case of the mushroom, the restaurant and the castle, she secretly helped.Bichumon explained for her partner: "Akon, she wants to be alone, but she is worried about everyone. I hope you can understand her."

She couldn't face her companions, but she couldn't let them go.

Haneda Chika felt that she was really considerate, even if she was sad, she couldn't bear the pain of her friends.

Gao Shiwu stepped forward, not to comfort or sympathize, but to express his heart to her frankly:

"I like Miss Sora very much, so please don't leave again, okay? I hate being separated, our family... no, I mean, I don't like being separated."

Chika Haneda wanted to bow to this little boy.

If it weren't for him, Haneda Chika was helpless, as an outsider impatiently watching Takeuchi Sora and crying.

A frank, sincere heart is a Band-Aid for those who are grieving.

At this moment, she seemed to understand this truth.

The reason why she feels so emotional is that she is actually not good at comforting others.

She helped her forehead, and she is not qualified to comment on Yagami Taiyi and Ishida Yamato.

"Takeu..." Takeuchi Sora wiped away his tears and tried to smile. "I see, I'm sorry."

She understands the situation of Gao Shiwu's family, and she doesn't want him to experience the pain of separation again.

She was relieved to see that they were finally able to travel together again.

It's great that the kids are back together again.

Even though up until now, not being known to anyone about her existence has been the thing she hates the most, but when all the children gather together, the scenery behind them is the most reassuring scenery in the digital world.

***

At night, the children fell asleep by the fire.During the days of looking for companions, they were all tired.

For the first time in days, Takeuchi Sora fell asleep peacefully.He obviously doesn't know how to face his companions, but when he's by his side, he feels extremely at ease.In the dream, the past slowly emerged.

She met Taichi Yagami when she was playing football, and she met Chika Haneda, who was a year younger than herself, because of Taichi Yagami.

What happened before that, she couldn't recall clearly in the dream.

However, she remembered that she had a quarrel with that indifferent girl, the first and only quarrel so far.

"Qianhua, you are very long-winded!Anyway, what I do, my mother is not satisfied with me!She doesn't understand me at all! 』

The young girl turned around and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by the other party.

She always thought that this little girl only cared about Yagami Taichi, but the warmth of the other party's palm and the hand that held her tightly told her that this child cared about herself very much.

"You are satisfied with yourself...won't it be enough? 』The girl's expression didn't waver at all, and she didn't mind her tone just now, but the anxious expression on the other side told her that this girl was trying to express what was in her heart—even though she was not very good at it.

"You said she didn't understand you...do you understand her?" 』

"I..." At that time, she didn't quite understand what the girl wanted to express, so she withdrew her hand and said, "That kind of thing...anything is fine!" 』After she ran out, the little Yagami Taichi chased after her to comfort her and calm down her anger.

Now she doesn't get angry very often, only sometimes when she is facing her mother.At that time, after all, she was still young, and the girl was obviously younger than her. She didn't think that the other party's serious words could be used as a reference, and she forgot over time.But at that time, she still understood that her tone was too strong, and finally made up her mind to apologize to her.

That time, it was the first time she saw the girl smile, even though it was only a faint smile.

"I was preempted by you... I'm sorry, but I was indeed a bit wordy. 』

It was as if she had seen her own process through the role of a bystander.She remembered that her mother had been unable to understand her since before, thinking that she was "without love", and it was not just an idea generated by the football game incident.

However, she is a little concerned now, Haneda Chika's words at that time.She is obviously younger than herself, but she always says things that are not suitable for her age. Most of the time, she is correct.

Does she understand her mother?

She never thought about this question.

Between dreams and reality, she heard the girl's voice.

Her voice didn't fluctuate too much, but it gave off a soft feeling.

"Sora, you... it's not that you don't have love, you just... haven't noticed it yet..."

"I... believe in Sora, you will be able to find out..."

Just like back then, she tried her best to express the thoughts in her heart word by word.

Even though it is not the first time Haneda Chika has done something like whispering in the ear of a sleeping person, but she is really shy and embarrassed to say such a thing self-righteously. Fortunately, no one saw her blushing. .

When the children were sound asleep, in order to prevent the last badge from shining, the Little Demon Beast secretly used the "Little Demon Dart" to attack Takeuchi Sora. Bichumon heard the sporadic sound, opened its eyes sleepily, and discovered the opponent's conspiracy in time. Blocked its darts.

After Takeuchi Sora woke up, he anxiously inspected Bichumon's injuries.The other children were woken up, and after discovering the little evil beast, they moved out of fighting stance one after another.

Chika Haneda was about to "stone it" when a piercing coldness crept up her back silently.This is not the first time, she quickly understood that the enemy from the dark was attacking, and the opponent should be a powerful evil Digimon.

The vampire beast appeared in front of them, and Takeuchi Sora recognized that it was the owner of the black figure talking to the little devil beast.

The appearance of the vampire monster reminded her of her childhood shadow in her previous life. At that time, when she saw it sucking human blood in the real world, just like a real "vampire", she hid in the bed and closed the window firmly. , afraid that there would really be vampires coming to suck her blood before midnight.

──Wait... the real world?

She remembered one crucial thing, the door to the real world would be opened by the vampire beast, and the children would go back soon.

The gateway will open, which means she can go back too.

When she was in a daze, the children's Digimon went to fight, Bichumon insisted on going, but Takeuchi Sora didn't allow it, she didn't want the injured one to take risks.

"I'm going, Sora, I must go!"

"You can't go!"

"Let go of me, I must go!"

"You must not go!"

"Why... why don't you understand me at all, Sora!"

The words of Bichumon are exactly the same as the words she said to her mother back then.

Just as she was worried about the Bhikkhu, her mother was also worried about her, so she wouldn't let her go.

"Do you understand her? 』

No, so far, she has no understanding of her mother's intentions.Her mother loved her, but she didn't express it frankly. She loved and guarded her in other ways.

The Bhikkhu beast insisted on going its own way, and evolved into a Badora beast to fight, but was knocked down by the blood-sucking monster.

Seeing the falling figure of Badoramon, Takeuchi Sora ran forward with all his strength and shouted:

"Badoramon!!!───"

The emblem of love finally glowed, and her heart was conveyed to Badoramon, causing it to evolve into Garudamon.

This time, Chika Haneda finally noticed the white light around the heart badge, which gave her a sense of familiarity, but the white light was fleeting, and she didn't have time to recall it.

The sacred white light also appeared on Garudamon during the battle, just like that of Mechagreymon, in order to protect their brilliance during the battle.

It held Takeuchi Sora lightly, smiled and said to her, "There are many, many loves of Sora."

She couldn't help crying again, this time tears of joy.

"Phichumon... you're so handsome..."

It suppressed the vampire monster for a while, and as it was dawn, the power of the vampire monster was weakened a little, so it took the opportunity to escape with everyone.

Chika Haneda, who was in a daze, jumped into its hands and ran away with everyone.

She was really afraid of the vampire beast, and didn't want to stay for a second longer.

***

"Now... I finally feel my mother's love for me..."

"I feel it too, Sora's love."

One person and one beast looked at each other and smiled, creating a warm atmosphere between her and it.

"It's also thanks to Chika." Takeuchi Sora looked at Yagami Taichi with a smile, causing the other party to ask questions. She explained with a smile:

"Even though Chika wasn't by our side, she gave me a lot of encouragement."

"Eh?" Yagami Taiichi said dissatisfiedly, "She's not that powerful!" His expression was a little weird, maybe he remembered something that made him particularly sensitive to the topic of this childhood sweetheart girl.

Mimi Tachikawa couldn't help laughing: "Every time Chika-san is mentioned, Taichi is always like this!"

"What kind of thing! Tell me clearly!"

The children all laughed, but Chika Haneda, who wanted to hear these words the most, was not there.

After leaving the place where the vampire beast was, she received an email from the old man Xuannei, who was sent back quickly.

"Qianhua, you can go back soon. 』

"Is it related to the vampire beast? 』

"...Since you already know, it's easy to handle.The vampire monster intends to open the door to the real world, as long as you are not discovered by the other party, you can go back at the same time.But before that...you gotta come back for a bit. 』

She felt that something was hidden in the final omission.

"what does that mean? 』

"It means...you are saying goodbye to the children. 』

The author has something to say: It's too late to update again...

I was watching TV just now, and I remembered that it was only 11 o’clock when the article was published. Why did I take so long to edit it (because watching the video synchronously while coding the article, there will be situations like flat narration and lack of transitions, so before posting the article have to fix it)

Qianhuajiang had a lot of childhood shadows in her previous life, the vampire monster was one of them, and the second one was the former zombie Tyrannosaurus 233

In fact, it means how she will gradually overcome these shadows in the future, and truly live as the "Chika Haneda" of this world.

After this, there will be a special chapter about Ah Kong and Qianhuajiang... If there is no time to update tomorrow, it will be added to the next update.

Qianhuajiang's aversion to little evil beasts has increased again 2333

Everyone said "it's abusive", "see you soon"... But, I want everyone to deeply feel the experience of Qianhuajiang. In the future, Qianhuajiang will meet her partner (ouch! (some things), you can experience the feelings of that... [I'm not short of words [cover my face]

Mimi sauce is definitely the truth party!Taiyi is actually very pitiful...Every time I mention Qianhuajiang, I will think of the sweet "big brother" of "a certain little girl" that I thought of not long ago...Three views are all To be destroyed 2333333

＊On the afternoon of January 2015.1.19, [-], I corrected some wrong words and sentences that I made too quickly last night [cover my face]

In fact, there is one more thing I want to share, but I was too eager to forget it before... The method to stop others from crying is to change the subject. After the exam, a good friend burst into tears within a few steps, and told me that she was going to fail the exam this time, and the author, whose mind was blank after the exam, I joked and changed the subject, and she laughed, God knows me I didn’t know the whole test paper but forcibly filled in all kinds of calculation steps, how much I felt sorry for QAQ after leaving the test room... Ah no, anyway, the author’s friend stopped crying later.

Although she was worthy of laughing when the test papers were handed out, and then the author Jun burst into tears...but this is another story [Hey]

☆、Childhood Chapter 2──Clear Sky

"Qianhua, have you been 'excluded'?"

The first-year Yagami Taichi tilted his head, obviously not understanding the word very well, but he asked Haneda Chika this question seriously.

On this day, Yagami Taichi was doing homework in his room, Haneda Chika was still a kindergarten student, and didn't have much homework, so she stayed in his room and read.Yagami Yuko went out with Yagami Hikaru, and asked her to keep an eye on Yagami Taichi, and don't let him go out to play before finishing his homework.

Haneda Chika readily agreed, and she preferred to stay at Yagami's house rather than staying in her own room alone.

Yagami Taichi held a pencil up to his nose when he was struggling with a math problem, and chatted with her.

"No...Speaking of which, where did you hear such words..." Chika Haneda turned the pages of the book, a new chapter was ushered in, she put a bookmark on it, closed the book, and let her eyes rest.

"But... aren't you a girl who doesn't have any friends? I told my friend, and he said that you must have been "excluded"! He also said "bullying" or something..."

Obviously Yagami Taichi's expression was very serious, but she just couldn't hold back her anger.She pulled out a smile, trying to make herself look nice, but it backfired, leaving him with the frightened look of a horror movie—if it was in an anime, it would have lost its color and left only black shadows Line panic expression.

Seeing the other person's face, she couldn't get angry, but felt guilty instead.She rubbed her face and returned to her usual indifferent expression,

"Taiyi, why are you talking about me everywhere?"

Seeing that the smile that almost distorted her entire face just now disappeared, Yagami Taichi put away his frightened expression, scratched his cheek, and said embarrassedly: "I talked about this when I was playing football and chatting with my friends... ...I, I'm just worried about you too!"

"Taiyi, you have time to worry about me, why don't you focus on your homework." She reopened the book and didn't plan to discuss this topic any further. "...If you don't finish your homework today before Auntie and the others come back, then you really have to worry—for your own football."

Auntie refers to Yagami Taichi's mother, Haneda Chika will call her "Auntie" or "Aunt Yuko".The relationship between the two families is very good, especially after Haneda Chika’s mother left her home, the Yagami family gave a lot of assistance, for example, when she was working in Haneda Yukai, let her Yagami’s family take care of the Haneda family this year young daughter.

After Yagami Taichi was promoted to elementary school, he was not used to doing homework every day, so he left his homework to play football every day, and was discovered by Yagami Yuko.The mother of the Yagami family asked Yagami Taichi to choose whether to play football after finishing his homework, or say goodbye to his football.

Chika Haneda found out about this, and happily watched the fun, and then was entrusted to be the "supervisor" of Yagami Taiichi.

"It's okay!" Taichi Yagami patted his weak chest and said confidently, "I will definitely finish it today! Because I have hired help!"

"Well...then I'll tell Auntie, you copied your homework?"

He panicked for a moment and fell off the swivel chair. Regardless of the pain, he quickly explained: "It's not copying homework! It's just someone teaching me!" He slowly crawled back, sat upright, and rubbed the painful place.

Chika Haneda was about to take down the bookmark, but upon hearing his words, she couldn't help but frowned and stood up.

"Since you have friends coming, I'll go back first, and I'll just explain to my aunt."

"No need!" Yagami Taichi smiled happily, trying to prevent her from leaving. "It's okay if Qianhua is here, it's okay." His smile told her that things were not that simple.

Haneda Chika showed a displeased expression, and was about to refute, but heard the doorbell jingle from the entrance.She looked at Yagami Taichi, but he pretended to be "I'm so busy writing math problems", looked at the homework book and asked her, "Qianhua, can you open the door for me?"

She paused, unable to give a reason for her objection, sighed and resigned to her fate, and went to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she froze in place, unable to recover for a long time.The bright short orange hair and clear eyes have a cheerful temperament that is completely different from hers.If the other party is the clear sky, then she herself must be the decadent, withered flower looking up at the sky.

"Are you 'Chika'?" She was a head taller than Haneda Chika, so she bent down slightly, stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "I heard Taichi heard you before! I am Takeuchi Sora, call me Sora It’s alright, you can also call me “San-san”!”

Chika Haneda, who suffered from a disadvantage in height, was secretly dissatisfied in her heart, but it was not easy to express it on her face, so she could only turn her head awkwardly, unable to straighten her straight eyes.

"I'm Chika Haneda, Takenouchi "さん", you can call me whatever you like."

She has such a bad personality.

Whether the other party puts on a friendly gesture or a malicious gesture, she also builds a thick wall around herself, in order not to be affected by external emotions.

Also for the sake of not letting myself get hurt again.

A year ago, Yumi Haneda's wife, Maria Mizutani, left the Haneda family, and Chika Haneda was stabbed in the heart.All along, she has been careful not to trust anyone, but slowly, living in Haneda's house as "Haneda Chika" has become her all.

However, she put in her trust, but was severely betrayed.

She cherishes everything she has now, but she sticks to it and does not allow anyone to enter.

Takeuchi Sora smiled awkwardly, seeing Taichi Yagami making strange gestures behind Chika Haneda, he was puzzled for a long time, then suddenly realized, he tried to make up a reason, and said, "Well... that... I can't do it in my homework. Taichi, Chi... Chika, do you mind if I go in?"

Yagami Taichi covered his face behind Chika Haneda because Takeuchi Sora didn't understand his movements.

Although Takenouchi was only in the first grade, he was more considerate and capable than the girls in his class. After hearing Taichi Yagami's concerns, he suggested that she meet his childhood sweetheart to understand the reason.

They discussed too hastily before and forgot to set a common reason.Arriving in front of Yagami's house, the moment Takeuchi Sora saw the petite Chika Haneda, he was almost occupied by the "contrast cuteness" who had an indifferent face but was as soft and cute as other kindergarten children The mind forgets its original purpose.It wasn't until Yagami Taichi signaled to remind her that she tried to interpret the meaning under the gesture instructions of the other party and came up with a reason.

She didn't know, she got it wrong.

Yagami Taichi in the back couldn't stand it anymore, he felt that Chika Haneda had already guessed the situation.

Chika Haneda looked at the other party's expression for a while, then stepped back to signal the other party to come in.

"This is Yagami's house, Taichi will answer this question." She turned around, looked at Yagami Taichi with a faint smile, and teased, "However, I don't know whether Taichi can be 'asked' by you, after all, he just now He said he was asked Takeuchi-san to "teach" him."

"Uh……"

Yagami Taichi felt very tired.

He just wanted to be a "big brother" and help Chika, who has a communication disorder in Haneda, to make friends. Why was that girl staring at him like a fool?

──Who is a communication-impaired person!

As if telepathically, Haneda Chika saw through his thoughts from his expression, and quickly refuted in her heart.

***

From that day on, for the next week, Takeuchi Sora would visit Yagami's house almost every day.Facing Chika Haneda's attitude of deliberately creating a gap, she once felt discouraged, but in fact it was just a friend's request, and she didn't have to look at her face to please her, but for some reason, she couldn't let go of this girl.

She also sits behind them every day, reading quietly.

Once, Takenei Sora passed by her sleepy-eyed side, thinking of going to the bathroom outside the room, but saw her startled, pulled her trousers, hesitated to speak, and looked like an abandoned kitten.

However, that was only for a moment, and the other party quickly woke up, and opened the book again as if nothing had happened.

She asked Yagami Taichi, but he hesitated, and she quickly realized that the Haneda family might have a special situation, so it was not easy to get into it, so she waved her hand and smiled and said sorry, and the matter was left alone.

That time, Chika Haneda dreamed about the past, and she lost her composure when she couldn't distinguish between dream and reality for a while.

In fact, she is also quite contradictory. She wants to avoid Wu Neikong, but she doesn't want to stay away.

Whether she came to Yagami Taiichi to do her homework or went outside to play football, she didn't want to see her, just go back to her room.She deeply understands that the quiet space in Haneda's house can make her forget all her troubles, it is her air-raid shelter.

But she just couldn't move her feet, left Taichi Yagami's room, and left the girl who was showing favor to her.

Maybe the reason is that if she runs away again this time, she will look down on herself very much.

Taichi Yagami had said that she had no female friends, but he must have discovered the truth—she had no friends at all.

It was impossible for her to be friends with kindergarten students whose thinking was totally different.Moreover, she will enter elementary school next year, and the friendship she formed will not last long.

She gave all kinds of excuses so that she could escape safely.

I don't want to change, I don't want to lose.

Therefore, she even "lost" the opportunity to "obtain".

Try to take a step, she told herself.

She told herself repeatedly that walking out of the fence was not scary.

***

With unremitting efforts in Takeuchi Sora, the intimacy with Chika Haneda is refreshed once a day... Ah no, every day I get to know Chika Haneda little by little, and the other party's address finally becomes "Sora".That girl looked like a little grown-up, and she would feel uncomfortable if you called her "Sanna-san".

"Qianhua, Taiyi and I are going to play football, do you want to go out too?"

Chika Haneda rejected Takeuchi Sora's request, and now she can only slowly accept getting along with Takeuchi Sora, if she is asked to communicate with friends who play football with Yagami Taichi, she will definitely run away on the spot.

Yagami Taichi saw her rejection immediately, and said:

"Qianhua, you really have a communication barrier..." His words were interrupted by a thick copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales"—he really used "hit" because Haneda Chika smashed the entire book on his stomach.As for why the stomach was hit instead of the head, the reason is obvious, and it is because of the height that Haneda Chika absolutely does not want to mention.

"Who is a cross!...And, Taichi, why do you know such words!"

Haneda Chika has always been curious about where Yagami Taichi learned this special term, and she has always wanted to teach the source of that evil a lesson.

Takeuchi Sora, who knew the truth, felt that it was very lucky that Haneda Chika didn't go out with her, at least it was definitely a good thing for the big brother who popularized this term to Yagami Taichi.

After they went out, Chika Haneda read a book beside Mitsu Yagami, teasing her from time to time.

Seeing the sky slowly getting dark outside the window, she frowned unconsciously, and slowly closed the book.After explaining to Yuko Yagami, she returned to Haneda's house.

***

Yagami Taiichi and Takeuchi Sora were forced to leave early.

Originally, they were playing to a critical juncture, but suddenly there were a few drops of water on the court, and the heavy rain poured down, so they had to run back in the rain.The homework written by Takenouchi is still at Yagami's house, and she has to run back with Yagami Taichi.

On the way, she fell to the ground once, and her clothes were stained with mud and water. When they returned to Yagami's house, the two of them looked quite embarrassed.Yagami Yuko immediately took out the towel and asked them to dry their bodies.Seeing the stains on Takeuchi Sora's clothes, she felt embarrassed.

"Hmm... Sora, are you going to make it a point and change into Taichi's clothes? The clothes are all wet, and it's easy to catch a cold."

"Mom! What does it mean to make do with it!"

Takeuchi Sora lowered his head, with a sullen expression on his face, and slowly said: "...In that case, Mom will blame me."

Yagami Yuko expressed understanding, but was at a loss.At this time, the doorbell rang, and she opened the door to let Chika Haneda in.Haneda's house was only a few steps away from Yagami's house, but she was out of breath, obviously very anxious.

She walked up to Takeuchi Sora, took out a set of clothes from her bag, and said after a sigh of relief: "This is the loosest set of my clothes, and the size is probably suitable. You can change it quickly."

Takeuchi Sora took the clothes and stood there for a long time before saying, "Eh...? But...?"

"I don't mind if you want to go home like this." Chika Haneda quickly returned to her usual calm expression, as if the anxiety just now was just an illusion of the other party.

Takeuchi Sora finally smiled, shook his head and said, "No, please lend it to me. Chika, thank you."

After she changed her clothes, the rain was heavier than before.She called home and said that she would not be back until later. Her mother's tone was serious, as if she was blaming her for being capricious, which made her look sad again.

At around six or seven o'clock in the evening, the rain finally stopped and she was able to go home, but instead of feeling relieved, she felt more worried.Takenei Sora said softly, "Mom must be scolding me again..."

Yagami Taichi sat on the other end of the sofa, missed her words, and asked, "Eh? What did you say?"

"No, nothing..."

Takeuchi Sora tried to show a smile, but Haneda Chika found that expression very ugly.Sitting between the two of them, she could hear what she just said clearly.So she said, "Akong, let me take you back."
