The first day of November, a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Watanabe Toru is reading a book at home. The phone screen on the desk is a video from Kumiko.

By the river, full of reeds as tall as a person, a girl in a sailor suit plays solo on the Euphonium.

“How is it? Has it improved a lot?”

“The reeds are so high, the natural environment of Kyoto is really good, do you know the name of the river?”

“Ang?”

He was about to reply when the phone screen suddenly jumped to the call interface, which was the call of Kiyano Eldest Young Lady.

This is really unprecedented for the first time.

It may also be the only time in a lifetime.

Watanabe Toru took it immediately.

“Miss me?” he said.

“…”

“Hello? Are you there? Kiyano classmate?”

“Sophia University Library.”

“Beep-beep-beep”

What’s the situation? Is this revenge last night? Haven’t you already used the dolphin doll as an apology?

Could it be that…you are shy because you are preparing to have a face-to-face love confession?

Watanabe Toru took a light blue shirt, put it on the outside of a white T-shirt printed with a can of Coke, took the keys, wallet, and mobile phone, and went out.

Starting from the apartment in “Kioi Town”, walk along the slope named Kioiizaka, and you can see the Edo Castle ruins in the distance.

Next to the site is the Marunouchi Line that starts at Ogikubo Station in Suginami District and ends at Ikebukuro Station in Toshima District.

Watanabe Toru doesn’t have to go so far, turn right halfway, within 3 minutes, you will reach the destination-Sophia University Yotsuya Campus.

Kiyano Eldest Young Lady did not say which campus, but for people living near Yotsuya Station, it should refer to the Yotsuya campus… right?

It doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, Watanabe Toru has found a good reason.

‘I’m not a native of Tokyo, and my goal of going to college is not Sophia University. As a local and inviter, it is your responsibility not to make it clear, please reflect on it. ‘

When looking for a reason, he has already seen Kiyano Rin and Ichiki Aoi.

It does not seem to be a confession of love.

No, it is too early to give up! Can come back! Still hope!

“Good afternoon, R-san, classmate Ichiki.”

The two who were chatting turned their heads and looked at Watanabe Toru coming from a distance.

The beautiful delicate and pretty, the whole person is full of self-confidence, and every move has the demeanor of a beautiful boy.

“It’s really here!” Ichiki Aoi said incredulously.

“What is really coming?” Watanabe Toru walked up the steps and stood with them.

“I heard from the girls in Class 4, Watanabe-kun, you never promised girls’ invitations to go out, I thought you wouldn’t come.”

“Who let Kiyano is too beautiful with Senior, and she still has money. She will take the initiative to entertain guests when she goes out.”

“That’s it…” Ichiki Aoi had an embarrassed expression that didn’t know how to pick him up.

Kiyano Rin ignored this boring topic, and did not expose Watanabe Toru’s lies in front of others.

She glanced up and down at Watanabe Toru, her eyes rested on his open shirt: “To pretend to be cool?”

It was cold in Tokyo in November.

Watanabe Toru lowered his head and glanced at the Coke on his chest: “Where is Coke cool? If you can, I prefer Mi Lao…”

“Who said that. Kiyano Rin glared at him dissatisfiedly, “Why did you open your clothes.”

“It’s cooler like this.” Watanabe Toru as it should be by rights said.

Kiyano Rin took a breath and looked at him angrily: “Are you kidding me?”

Watanabe Toru didn’t answer, but changed the subject and said, “Call me out. What’s the matter? Sunday is my precious study time. It will delay my next ranking first in the country. Are you ready to pay the price?”

Kiyano Rin did not play with Watanabe Toru. I was happy, but did not continue to be reluctant, and explained: “Student Ichiki has asked about the location of Asuka Mai Senior Sister’s school trip.”

“So fast? Where?” Watanabe Toru looked towards Ichiki Aoi,” Don’t tell me it’s Kyoto.”

“Eh? Watanabe-kun, do you also know?”

“…” Watanabe Toru said nothing. Finally sighed, “Forget it, after all, 47% of Tokyo’s school trips to Kyoto are not surprising.”

What else Ichiki Aoi has to say, Kiyano Rin, who has been looked at by college students, first opened the mouth and said: “Let’s go in first.”

So the three of them went to the library.

The name is the Central Library, from the 2nd floor underground to the 9th floor upstairs, a total of 11 floors.

There are about 1.1 million books on the humanities, social sciences, and science and engineering, and about 11,000 magazines.

“What are we doing here?” Watanabe Toru asked as he checked the layout of the library.

“Find some travel magazines and see which places are suitable for confession!” Ichiki Aoi Dongzhang hoped, suddenly excitedly said as if he had found a goal, “Over there! The magazine is over there! Let’s go over there!” “

The three moved separately, looking for a magazine about Kyoto.

Watanabe Toru stood in front of the bookshelf, looking at the spine of the book arranged in accordance with the Japanese syllabary.

Take out one casually, the faint smell of books that permeated, healed his pain about going to Kyoto.

Selecting two Kyoto travel magazines, he walked to the place agreed upon by the three of them-a round table with armrests.

Outside the handrail, you can see the ground floor of the library.

This is a place where quiet discussion is also allowed.

Kiyano Rin came back second, not a travel magazine in his hand.

“Kinkakuji Temple” by Yukio Mishima, “Ancient Capital” by Kawabata Yasunari, “Kyoto Higashiyama Murder Case” by Misa Yamamura, “Spring Night Is Short, Let’s Go Girl” by Morimi Tomihiko .

“Are you reading a book?”

“If you have a bad memory, don’t force yourself to speak.” Kiyano Rin put the book on the table, “These are based in Kyoto. Novels, there are many elements of love, it is possible to find good attractions that are not in travel magazines.”

“It makes sense.” Watanabe Toru nodded, “But Yamamura Misa’s novel, I recommend another one. “

“Which one?” Kiyano Rin said curiously.

“”Kyoto Buren Travel…”

“You can shut up.”

“Ok, no problem, R What Sang said is what he said.” Watanabe Toru considers himself a great virtuoso, so it is not surprising that he has learned a little about the time.

Kiyano Rin pressed his forehead, sighed then said hopelessly, and opened “The Spring Festival Is Short, Let The Girl Go Forward”.

Watanabe Toru flipped through the magazine boringly, not reading the text, only looking at the pictures.

After he finished flipping through the magazine and jot down a few locations, Ichiki Aoi walked over with a large stack of magazines.

“I brought all of the last few years!”

“Ichiki classmate,” Kiyano Rin was surprised to look at the magazine that seemed to be turning over the table, “Kyoto It’s a thousand-year-old capital, but there are only those attractions, as long as a few magazines can cover them all, no matter how much it’s just meaninglessly repeating that’s all.”

“…Yes, then I will go back. Is it?”

“Forget it.” Kiyano Rin sighed, “It’s okay in the afternoon anyway. Let’s read the book one by one.”

“Very good! Thank you, classmate Kiyano !”

“Classmate Ichiki, this is my recommended attraction.” Watanabe Toru passed the two opened magazines.

“Thank you!”

“You are welcome, I will go back first. See you at school tomorrow.” Watanabe Toru stood up.

“Watanabe-san, wait a minute.” Kiyano Rin pushed one-half of the number of magazines that exploded in front of Watanabe Toru, “After reading these, you can go back.”

“Why don’t I watch it?”

“I sincerely suggest you, it is better to watch.” Kiyano Rin said with a bright smile.

“…OK, I see.” Watanabe Toru sat down again and picked up the first magazine.

Ichiki Aoi sorry said: “If Watanabe-kun has something, you can go first. You have helped me a lot, no need…”

“It’s okay “The speaker was Kiyano Rin. She Shi Shiran continued to read “The Spring Festival Is Short, Let’s Go Girl”, “This is a club activity, and there is nothing to do if he goes back anyway.”

“Study is not a matter?” Watanabe Toru was unhappy.

“I allow you to sit across from me all afternoon and admire and admire my beauty.” Kiyano Rin lifted the long hair from his shoulder with one hand and said proudly.

“Say early! I’m very happy!”

Of course this is cracking a joke.

Since entering the Human Observation Department, Watanabe Toru and Kiyano Rin have met all day long, and there is no shortage of this afternoon.

It all depends on Kiyano Rin’s friend. If he is not a friend, if he dares to speak like this, Watanabe Toru will slap him twice.

……Considering Kujo Miki’s experience, the option of hitting her is fine.

He is not the one who cares about girls either.

The three people gathered around the pile of magazines, looking through them one by one.

I will communicate with each other for a while when I see the favorite scenic spots. If they feel good, keep it temporarily.

“Arashiyama seems to be good, especially this bamboo forest!”

“Will there be too many people?” Kiyano Rin said seriously.

“You can choose the night time, when there are fewer people!” Ichiki Aoi was very excited, “Watanabe-kun, how do you feel?”

Watanabe Toru looked familiar Scene: “Better not.”

“What about the reason?” Kiyano Rin asked.

“I have seen a lot of light novels, animations, and comics, like the very famous “Spring Things”, as long as they confessed there, none of them succeeded.”

“True or false Is it so low?” Ichiki Aoi was taken aback.

“But light novels are light novels. Reality is reality. You can try it.”

“No, no! Let’s choose another place!” Ichiki Aoi hurriedly changed Jump over to the bamboo forest page of the magazine.

“By the way, Ichiki, how did you know the location of the school trip for Class 2 of the third year?” Watanabe Toru asked while continuing to read the magazine.

Ichiki Aoi has a happy expression on his face: “I asked Mai directly!”

“She told you directly?”

“en “Ichiki Aoi was nodded excitedly,” It seems that because I got the qualification recommendation of Dongda, Mai Senior Sister is in a very good mood recently. We asked her to help with the training in the wind club and agreed, and told me when we asked about the school trip location. !”

“What about your favorite confession scene?” Kiyano Rin doesn’t care whether he is in good mood or not, but cares more about the key to things.

Ichiki Aoi became frustrated and pouted and said, “I have asked too, but when it comes to this, Mai Senior Sister stopped talking.”

“Do you hate this topic? “Kiyano Rin started from himself, speculated.

“No, Mai Senior Sister’s expression is very good, she is in a good mood, but she just refuses to say.”

Watanabe Toru on the side tapped the white plastic table and thought about it. , Asked: “Ichiki, Senior Sister tomorrow, does she know about you coming to the Human Observation Department?”

“Don’t worry about that!” Ichiki Aoi proudly said, “I took the initiative to tell Senior Sister, The reason is also to ask for playing skills, she will not guess that I am going to confess to her.”

“…”

It’s over.

“Mai Senior Sister has been very nice to me lately. I feel that it is not only the reason for getting the university recommendation, it must be…hehe!”

Looking at Ichiki Aoi immersed Looking in happiness, Watanabe Toru has a complicated expression.

‘Congratulations, classmate Ichiki, for successfully paralyzing the Senior Sister tomorrow and being used as my spy. ‘

“Classmate Ichiki, I must remind you that it is better to prepare for failure. From my point of view, this confession is almost impossible to succeed.”

I hate it. It is said that I can’t understand the atmosphere and always splash people with cold water. Watanabe Toru decided to pave her the consciousness of failure first.

“I know this kind of thing.” Ichiki Aoi’s answer was unexpected, and he was so excited just now.

She lowered her gaze and fiddled with the skirt corners: “I know, but what does it matter? Mai Senior Sister is going to university soon, so she won’t meet again.”

No one in the trio can speak openly for a while.

Watanabe Toru looked at her drooping face and felt sorry for her.

I’ve liked it since junior high school, chasing Kamikawa, entering the wind club, and winning the national gold. In order to improve a little bit of probability, I even believe that the Human Observation Department, an association of unknown origin, likes girls. Tell others.

Who is qualified to laugh at her little pursuit?

Watanabe Toru originally wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what to say when it came to his lips.

The word’refueling’ is too hypocritical.

“This is love.” Kiyano Rin whispered to himself, “Knowing the emptiness, I still keep working hard.”

“R-san, let’s talk about classmate Ichiki. , Please don’t use such a cold expression, and suddenly start human observation, and, if possible, please use more concise language to summarize…”

“Shut up.”

p>

“Yes.”

Watanabe Toru was too decisive and so skilled in admitting his mistakes that Ichiki Aoi, who was unhappy just now, “pu chi” laughed out loud.

She clenched her fist and said: “Yes, it is not time to summarize the reasons for the failure, please continue to work hard with me!”

“Yes, anyway, confession It’s just a failure, no one can do it once or twice.” Watanabe Toru agreed.

“Huh?” Ichiki Aoi felt that what he and Watanabe Toru said were not the same thing.

But she is more curious about one thing.

“Watanabe-kun, do people like you confess their failure?”

Watanabe Toru did not answer her question and said to Kiyano Rin, “Rsan, please Please associate with me.”

“I feel extremely physical discomfort right now, at least after breaking up with your Miki, come and say this to me again.”

Watanabe Toru looked towards Ichiki Aoi: “Look, you failed.”

“…Oh, yes.” Ichiki Aoi squeezed these words from his throat.

……

After reading all the magazines and delineating a few locations, Ichiki Aoi left gratefully.

Kiyano Rin and Watanabe Toru dropped in, and they walked towards the place where they lived together.

On the road, Kiyano Rin remembered what Watanabe Toru had been deliberately funny just now, and said with a smile: “didn’t expect you to be unexpectedly gentle.”

“Yes, I But a gentle light novel male protagonist, this World misunderstood me too deeply. “Watanabe Toru was quite nodded.

Kiyano Rin pondered for a while: “When you say this, I begin to doubt my judgment again.”

“…R San, you are good everywhere, It’s just that sometimes it’s really rude to talk.”

After separating from Kiyano Rin, Watanabe Toru walked alone on the way back to the rental house.

The sun is going down in the distance, and the shadows of the telephone poles follow lazily, as if they are about to stop working at any time.

It seems that I forgot something, but I forgot something.

Forget it, since it has been forgotten, it means that it is not at the worst. Let’s hurry up and organize the math notes, so as not to be a dishonest person.

Wait, math notes…

Watanabe Toru took out his phone and finally remembered something he had forgotten.

He clicked on the line, and sure enough, the chat history with Kumiko was already filled with weird geisha expression packs that couldn’t reach the end no matter how they slipped.

The miserable white face and the weird smile make people shudder.

If you receive it in the middle of the night, I’m afraid I can’t help but look back when I go to the toilet, for fear of ghosts following behind.

Let’s treat it as if I didn’t see it.

Before Watanabe Toru put the phone in his pocket, Kumiko had already sent a message.

“Finally’read’! I thought you were dead!!!”

“Kumiko, discuss a very serious matter with you”

“What?!!!”

“What is the river called?”

“…”

After that A series of Kyoto Geisha emoticons.

“As a girl’s high school student, your aesthetic really worries me, and the location of my school trip has been fixed”

“Kyoto?!”

“So what is that river called?”

“Ujigawa! Welcome!”

It turned out to be Ujigawa, Watanabe Toru finally felt comfortable.

Find out what the name of the river full of reeds is, this is what he forgot.
