"I heard voices faintly just now, is it a phone call?"

Tsunayoshi Sawada stood at the door holding a cup of hot water, and changed into a hooded sweater and casual trousers, as if he was about to go out.

I opened my mouth, but my pair of brown eyes suddenly forgot what to say.Is it because you just woke up?I always feel that his eyes are extraordinarily gentle, and his shallow smile seems to overflow with an amber-like luster, even the sunset outside the window becomes pale under this light.

By the way, am I not here to take care of the sick?Why did you fall asleep on your own? ?

I stood on the ground with bare feet, a little embarrassed: "Your sofa is so comfortable, I accidentally fell asleep haha... How about you? Do you feel better now?"

"Well, there's nothing wrong with it." Sawada helped me find the slippers from under the bed and pushed them down in front of me, then raised his head and asked, "It's going to be the night festival soon, will Akutagawa-san go?"

I choked, and had to apologize: "This... yes, I made an appointment with Toru and Akari before..."

Before the words were finished, the other party laughed happily: "That's just right, let's go there together."

"Eh? You want to go too? But you're still sick!"

I reflexively objected, but Sawada just shook his head, still smiling softly: "Anyway, it's an annual school celebration...and some problems need to be resolved."

question?what is the problem?

I looked at him puzzled, but he didn't continue talking, but urged me to get ready.

In this way, half an hour later, we boarded the bus to school together.

The theme of this year's after-night festival is "fire", so the venue was naturally chosen on the playground, and the buffet party became a barbecue party.

When we arrived, the Houye Festival was about to start. The host was standing on the front stage with a microphone, as if he was doing the final audition. Senior Sakura was sitting in the corner, but I spotted it right away.

There were too many people on the playground, and Sawada and I had to stand in the outer circle and wait and see for a while. At this time, the phone rang again. I took it out to check, and it was really transparent.

Pressing answer, I said before the other party spoke: "I've arrived, but there are too many people to squeeze in..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "...you stay here and don't move!"

"Uh...that's scary...has this guy eaten gunpowder again?" I hung up the phone talking to myself, and found Sawada next to me looking around the crowd with his head up, and couldn't help asking, "Are you looking for Mr. Yamamoto and the others?" ?"

Sawada pondered for a while, lowered his head and smiled: "Not exactly." After a pause, he said, "The bonfire party is about to start, but I have something to do, can I come to you later?"

"Eh? Of course..."

Seeing me nodding, Sawada suddenly patted the top of my head quickly, and then got into the crowd without looking back.

Almost at the same time, the host shouted enthusiastically on the school radio: "The last night festival has officially begun! Please enjoy this night to the fullest! Don't forget the fireworks at zero o'clock!"

The boiling crowd rushed towards the playground, and I was squeezed in and out, and at this moment, a hand suddenly grabbed me and pulled me back, and my back suddenly slammed into someone's embrace.

"Hiss... have you lost weight again, your bones hit my chest!"

The transparent voice came from the top of my head, and I couldn't help touching my back that was hurt by the impact, and retorted: "You are all bones yourself! My back is still hurting now!"

The bright white light of the spotlight came from a high altitude, and the boy's face was against the light, but the color of his eyes was obvious.His short brown hair was raised slightly, and there was a subtle smile on his lips.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, and I don't care about you."

...You were mad at me a few minutes ago and now you're in a better mood! ?

I was thinking of just strangling him to death, when Mingli came out of the crowd panting, stood in front of me and complained feebly: "You two...one of you can't see anyone for a day...the other actually dumped me Halfway...can you still have fun?!"

Tou sneered, and said condescendingly: "Who cares about you."

Mingli and I stared at him fiercely. He shrugged and continued indifferently: "Are you going to stay here? If you don't go to the playground, the barbecue grills will probably be sold out."

Mingli slapped his head and suddenly realized: "Damn! I almost forgot about it!" After speaking, he pulled me up and rushed to the playground, "Let go of that grill and let me do it!"

"Wait! I'm about to bump into someone!"

Luckily, we ended up taking half of the last grill....

"You can be satisfied, after all, there are so many people."

Mingli was still beating his chest and feet, with his hands in his pockets, and looked at the crowd dancing around the bonfire in the distance with disinterestedness. I put a bunch of meat skewers of unknown meat on the grill, flipping them while looking for them in the crowd. The figures of Sawada and the others.

He left in a hurry just now, did something happen?I always feel a little concerned... Do you want to call Yamamoto to find out about the situation?But what if they were on a mission together?

The more I thought about it, the more entangled I was, I couldn't help turning over the meat skewers in my hand, Mingli suddenly ran over screaming: "The other half is going to be burned, you should be careful!"

I saw that half of the charcoal fire was really burning. "Ah, I'm sorry." I put down the meat skewers, picked up the charcoal with the pliers on the side, Mingli turned his head to look behind him, and approached mysteriously: "Have you heard the legend about the Houye Festival in this school?" ?”

"...Ah? Why does every school have..."

"Of course! There must be a little romance to match the temperament of the school!" Mingli slapped me on the head and continued unwillingly, "Here, it is rumored that only men and women who are together at zero o'clock when the fireworks are set off , will be together forever~"

"Ah Choo!" I rubbed my nose that was itchy from the smoke, and said to Mingli with tears in my eyes, "Then why don't you hurry up and find your Prison Temple."

"...Damn!" Mingli spat, but it was rare that he didn't refute.She raised her head to face the crowd dyed red by the flames, the shadow of her side face was like a stubborn flower bud, "I don't want to be with him forever, that kind of person has no future."

My hands trembled, almost reflexively thinking that Mingli also knew the identities of Yusi and the others.But it shouldn't be possible, wouldn't Akari be the first to tell me if she knew?

I had no choice but to answer vaguely, and continued to bury my head in grilling kebabs, while she was still looking at the crowd, and Toh was dealing with his fans not far away.

Sakura-senpai intervened in such a delicate atmosphere.

"Just now I was wondering where you would be, Akutagawa. It's great to meet you here."

The tall girl in a beach-style long dress picked up a bunch of grilled meat skewers, studied them for a long while, and then suddenly handed them to me: "Let's eat something to fill your stomach, and you may not have time later." oh."

I looked at her strangely, then at the meat skewers: "Senior, what do you mean by that?"

She stared at me meaningfully, with a "I won't tell you if you don't eat" expression on her face.I had no choice but to use her hand to quickly gnaw the meat skewers clean, and she handed over the second skewer: "Just now I accidentally saw Sawada-san holding Ritsuko Kajiwara into the student activity center, where are those two going at this time?" What are you going to do?"

I was trying to chew the food in my mouth, and I almost choked when I heard her say this: "Hold... I'll go... But Ritsuko-san should be injured, right? The infirmary is in the student activity center."

Having said that, I still unknowingly accelerated the speed of eating, and by the way, I took two and gnawed them all in one go: "Obviously I'm still sick, so let me take care of others."

I threw the gnawed bamboo sticks into the trash can, and wiped my mouth and hands with a paper towel, but before my feet moved, someone grabbed my arms first.

"Where are you going?"

Tou didn't know when he stood behind him, his tone was slightly unfriendly, but his face remained calm, "Senior, can I regard your behavior as abduction?"

"Huh?" Senior Sakura raised his eyebrows, his movements were a little cute, "Zhen Chai-kun is really merciless, I just came to remind you kindly, how did it become abduction~"

Tou frowned, and looked down at me: "Can't you make people feel more at ease?"

"Hey... I haven't done anything yet..." As I spoke, I waved my arms left and right, motioning for him to let go, "Sawada-kun is still sick, I just went to check on the situation."

"How did you know he was sick?"

"I...!" I couldn't say that I was still taking care of him until he fell asleep in the afternoon... "Senior Yamamoto said..."

Mingli also seemed to be disturbed by the movement here. Seeing our stalemate, he asked strangely: "What happened? What are you doing?"

I glanced at her, I didn't know how to explain, so I didn't answer at all, I still stared at Tou, and asked in a low voice: "Can you please let go?"

His amber eyes peered right into mine through the night.In it, the campfire behind me is reflected, and the crackling flames in the coal fire.

The hands that held me tightened tremblingly, and finally, slowly loosened.

"I will go with you."

Goal 46 Post Night Festival

From the playground to the student activity center, it takes about 15 minutes to walk, and less than 10 minutes to run.

I trotted all the way there, and Tou followed me at a distance.

"Sakura said just now that the uncle is 'holding' Kajihara, maybe he is going to do something dirty. Is it really meaningful for you to follow the past like this?"

i know he always
