After dark, at dinner time, Christmas songs are played in the store.

JingleBells by Children’sChristmasFavorites.

With the melody of “jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells”, the atmosphere in the store is lively.

Under the warm lighting, the guests ate happily.

The five people rang the bell, called the waiter, and ordered dinner each.

Watanabe Toru’s potato curry and grilled chicken skewers.

Strong curry flavor, slightly spicy, with rice, eat in one bite.

After chewing hard and swallowing, he picked up the browned yakitori.

I bite a piece of chicken and a piece of shiitake mushrooms with my teeth and pulled them into my mouth together, and the fat exploded in the mouth.

The joy and satisfaction of eating, at this moment, I have a particularly deep experience.

“Christmas is coming soon.” Ichiki Aoi held a fries dipped in ketchup.

“Christmas trees have been placed in many places, and some shopping malls have begun to sell them.” Kunai Shu bit a big bite of the burger and said while chewing.

“I want to buy new year clothes at a discount,” Ichiki Aoi said.

“My family also ordered Christmas cakes in advance.” Saito Keisuke said.

Ichiki Aoi’s eyes slid to Asuka Mai: “Mai Senior Sister, do you have a date for Christmas?”

“…No.” Asuka Mai concentrates Eating curry rice.

“Would you like to go shopping with me? Go eat KFC and buy clothes? Senior Sister has been recommended by the University of Tokyo, so I can enjoy myself.” Ichiki Aoi’s words are probably already in my heart. After thinking for a long time, I spoke very smoothly.

“…There is a dinner at home.”

“That’s it.” Ichiki Aoi tried not to be too disappointed. “Kiyano classmate, do you have a date for Christmas? “

Kiyano Rin wiped his mouth with a tissue and was about to answer. Watanabe Toru spoke first.

“Classmate Ichiki, what do you want to do?” His eyes were suspicious and warning.

“Watanabe-kun, you misunderstood me! I just asked!” Ichiki Aoi explained dissatisfiedly.

“What are you explaining? I was asking what you are going to do for Christmas?” Watanabe Toru asked in confusion.

Kiyano Rin glanced at him.

“A ghost believes in you.” Ichiki Aoi whispered, and then said, “I’m going to go out with my friends in the music club. How about you Watanabe?”

“Go Kiyano colleague.”

Ichiki Aoi was surprised “Eh-” said.

Mai Toru stopped eating and looked at Watanabe Toru expressionlessly.

No one doubted him, even Kunai Shu and Saito Keisuke stared at Watanabe Toru in surprise.

By the way, don’t these two people know the inside story?

Ichiki Aoi quickly asked: “What about Kujo classmate? She is your true girlfriend. Will you not spend the Holy Eve with her? Is this really okay?”

“Broken up?” Mai Mai lightly asked.

Watanabe Toru sighed, said nothing.

At the five-person small table, the atmosphere became silent and embarrassing.

The store is still playing’Jingle Bells’ in a loop, the smell of various foods rushes through the tip of the nose, and the heating blows through the hair.

At the next table, the child blowing in the steamed dumplings said in an innocent tone to his parents that I hope Santa Claus can give him a real Gundam this year.

Kiyano Rin gave Watanabe Toru a white, sighed as if he couldn’t help it.

She explained: “My house holds a party, and he will join Kujo classmates.”

“It turned out to be like this! It scared me to death, and thought I should not ask if I asked. What about this! Watanabe-kun, you are too annoying.” Ichiki Aoi said angrily.

Mai Tomorrow uses a spoon to continue eating curry, taking small bites.

The lips are tender and attractive, like a flower bud, which not only makes people want to care, but also inspires evil thoughts that destroy her.

“But in this case, Kiyano classmates can’t come out to play on Holy Eve, right?” Ichiki Aoi expressed regret for Kiyano Rin.

“Classmate Ichiki,” Kiyano Rin said without interest, “It has been two semesters since the first year of high school. Compared to playing, it is better to think about the essay group or the science group of the second year of high school. , Or a private school.”

“I haven’t seriously thought about this kind of thing yet. What about everyone? Select liberal arts or science?” Ichiki Aoi rolled the fries in tomato sauce and asked Looked towards the other four first-year students.

“I choose science.” Saito Keisuke, who couldn’t fit into the atmosphere, said his second sentence.

“Then I will choose science as well.” Kunai Shu decided the way out at will, “Watanabe, you also choose science. Maybe when the time comes, the three of us can continue to be divided into one Class.”

Watanabe Toru thought for a while, replied: “This kind of thing when the time comes, I don’t know.”

I don’t know if it’s been watching recently. The reason for literary novels is that he prefers liberal arts to science.

But it doesn’t matter whether it is liberal arts or science.

He neither intends to be a scientist nor a writer.

He is very clear about what he is doing now, and he also has clear goals, such as being No. 1 in the country, but when he graduates from university, what will he do?

Thinking of this, Watanabe Toru suddenly felt a little confused.

“Have you ever thought about what you plan to do in the future?”

Kiyano Rin, who was about to talk about his choice of arts and science, heard his question and changed his words:

“Inheriting the family’s business.”

She frowned slightly, as if she felt helpless in such a life-she clearly didn’t like it, but out of responsibility and obligation, she had to do it.

Watanabe Toru looked away from Kiyano Rin’s face and looked towards the person opposite her.

“What about the Senior Sister tomorrow?” he asked.

Mai Tomorrow took a sip of ice black tea, using only those clear eyes, showing a faint look of thinking.

After three or four seconds, she whispered: “Music.”

“Is it playing the Euphonium?” Ichiki Aoi’s voice is always lighter when talking to Mai Mai .

Mai Tomorrow gently shook her head, her bangs swayed, and under the light of the restaurant, she looked like a sparkling lake.

“…Oboe.”

Kiyano Rin’s pupil, which is like a large black pearl, moved to the far right of the eye socket and stared at Watanabe Toru.

Watanabe Toru looked at her suspiciously, then picked up the yakitori.

‘You want to eat? ‘He asked with his eyes.

Kiyano Rin retracted his eyes.

“Why? Senior Sister’s Euphonium is so powerful!” Ichiki Aoi looked at Mai Mai in confusion.

Mai Asuna looked towards Watanabe Toru: “Watanabe, very difficult to deal with, I want to try.”

“Because of this.” Ichiki Aoi seemed to understand, “At that time After listening to Watanabe-kun’s oboe, I was also shocked. It turns out that there is an instrument that can make such a beautiful sound.”

She suddenly waved her arm:

“It’s decided. I also want to continue playing and become a professional Euphonium player, and enter the same concert group as Senior Sister! Senior Sister, wait for me! “

Mai Tomorrow is nodded indifferently.

“What about Kunai and Saito? What are you going to do in the future?” Among those present, only Ichiki Aoi would care about these two people.

“I want to be a star baseball player with an annual income of 500 million yen!” Kunai Shu said with his face up.

“I want to work in the game industry and make good… games.” Saito Keisuke’s expression is more serious than other people who just talk about watching.

I just want to talk about sister games, right?

Sure enough, is desire the greatest motivation?

Watanabe Toru was thinking about his desires, Ichiki Aoi asked him: “Watanabe-kun, what are you going to do in the future?”

The curry has been eaten, Watanabe Toru puts down the spoon , Wipe your hands with wet wipes.

“I asked you just because I didn’t know what to do,” he said.

After dinner, Kiyano Rin smiled contemptuously at Watanabe:

“Watanabe-san, if you can’t find a job, you can come to me. “

“Do you want to support me?”

“…Can’t you make a difference? I think you still have the ability to clean the toilet.”

“If you are only responsible for your toilet, I think I can still pick it up…”

“Shut up.”

“Capitalist The face of his face changes when he says it changes.” Countryman Watanabe Toru said with a face of hatred.

When Kiyano Rin got a headache and sighed, Ichiki Aoi turned off the topic: “Watanabe-kun, what was your childhood dream?”

“My childhood dream?”

“Hmm.” Ichiki Aoi nodded.

She said:

“When I was young, dreams were generally unrealistic, right? But with Watanabe-kun’s excellence, even if it is impractical, you can try to do it. Before I can’t find my goal, how about trying my childhood dream?”

“What Ichiki said is very reasonable…Yes!” Kunai Shu shouted as if remembering. “I remember, didn’t you guy aspire to be prime minister since he was young?”

His voice was loud, and the family at the next table looked over.

Except for Watanabe Toru, Kiyano Rin, and Asuka Mai, the remaining two people present here are very sorry.

“Be quiet!” Saito Keisuke cursed in a low voice.

Kunai Shu sorry buried his head and continued to eat burgers.

Watanabe Toru didn’t correct the statement of “being determined since childhood”, nor did he say that his dream when he was a child was to become a civil servant waiting to die.

“Classmate Ichiki, what was your childhood dream?” Watanabe Toru asked rhetorically.

“Me? My childhood dream. Before kindergarten, I wanted to open a cake shop and eat whatever I wanted. After I went to elementary school, I wanted to marry Xiangxiang from Ueno Zoo. This dream has not yet been given up. !”

Xiangxiang, panda, female.

Speaking of pandas, Ichiki Aoi looked excited.

She continued:

“I go to Ueno Zoo every year to watch pandas. When I take a bath, I watch their videos on the tubing. I heard that every house in Sichuan, China has one Panda, I’m so envious, I want to raise one too.”

“…” Watanabe Toru didn’t know what to say for a while.

He helplessly said: “Student Ichiki, it is fake, how could it be one for each family.”

“I see on Twitter and YouTube, many Chinese commented Huh? There are still photos!”

“…Then be true.”

After dinner, everyone continues to study.

Ichiki Aoi wanted to try, and asked Mai Tomorrow to stay and guide her homework. Didn’t expect succeeded.

She almost jumped up happily.

On the dining table, there is only the rustle of pen and paper.

“Senior Sister, how do you do this?” Ichiki Aoi moved the textbook between the two.

In the process of moving, I accidentally touched the pen.

The pen followed the smooth table top, fell to the ground, then rolled on the ground for a while, and finally stopped at Kiyano Rin’s feet.

Kiyano Rin puts down the pen, pulls his hair behind his ears, leaned over to pick it up.

“Thank you, classmate Kiyano!”

After Kiyano Rin returned the pen to Ichiki Aoi, picked up his own pen, and was about to continue working on the question, he suddenly asked:

“Senior Sister tomorrow, do you have the habit of taking off your shoes?”

Don’t answer, don’t answer, don’t answer—the mental activity of Watanabe Toru doing math problems.

“…I’m sorry.” Mai Mai put her sour feet in her shoes.

“Don’t apologize, it’s okay. Many people in island nations have the habit of taking off their shoes. I just ask casually.”

“Senior Sister actually took off his shoes?” Ichiki Aoi’s His face was filled with regrets of “I knew I picked it up by myself”.

The episode of picking up the pen is over, and I continue to return to the topic.

“…This question is very simple, think about it yourself.” After taking a look at the question, Mai Tomorrow continued to play with her mobile phone.

“Okay.” Ichiki Aoi moved back the textbook weakly.

The study will go on to nine o’clock, and everyone will be separated in front of the store.

“Everyone has a hard time today, come on for the exam tomorrow!” Ichiki Aoi waved his hand to say goodbye.

“I will take you back.” Watanabe Toru said to Kiyano Rin.

“Hmm.” Kiyano Rin gently nodded.

As system said, Tokyo at Christmas is decorated like a dream, the lights on the street trees are lit, and the streets are full of romance.

At the door of many shops, employees who solicit customers have put on Christmas costumes.

The two walked along the brightly lit street and looked at the window with Christmas ornaments.

“Have you not thought about what you will do in the future?” Kiyano Rin asked.

Watanabe Toru retracted his gaze from “studying the reindeer antlers on a window”, looked at the winter street up ahead, and said:

“There is no need to worry about this. Some People go to college after thinking about what to do, but more people understand what they want to do after going to college.”

“Those who hold such thoughts will finally get Most don’t want to do anything.”

Watanabe Toru turned his head.

Kiyano Rin’s small and beautiful face is more cute with the white scarf.

In the sound of wheels crushing the road, he smiled and said:

“People who don’t want to do anything, after four years, what they understand is’I don’t want to do anything.’ This fact.”

“Sophistry.” Kiyano Rin gave him a blank look.

Singing from a shop nearby.

『After the rain passes late at night, it will turn into snow』

『Silentnight, Holynight』

『You will definitely not come, alone Christmas』

“What song is this?” Watanabe Toru stopped and asked Kiyano Rin.

“”Christmas Eve”, by Tatsuro Yamashita.” Kiyano Rin replied.

“”If it rains late at night, it will turn into snow”, the lyrics are good.” Watanabe Toru hummed and danced to the rhythm.

Dance was learned from the United States***.

Looking at his antics, Kiyano Rin was helpless and funny, and there was nothing he could do with him.

When she laughed, Watanabe Toru was even more proud.

“Kiyano Young Lady, would you like to enjoy the moment when the rain turns into snow with me on Christmas Eve?”

“Okay.” Kiyano Rin nodded.

Watanabe Toru’s movements suddenly stopped.

“…what did you just say?” he asked.

“Anyway, the party is private. Although I can’t walk away alone, if you and Kujo classmates are added, the family will allow us to come out.”

“. …..”

What’s the situation?

Just in a good mood, just ask casually following the lyrics.

Are you going to kiss Kujo Miki in front of Kiyano Rin?

Kiyano Rin pays attention to his expression: “What’s wrong with you?”

“Kiyano classmate,” Watanabe Toru re-backed the schoolbag that had collapsed from dancing, “You know the “white “Photo Album”?”

“What is it again?”

“It’s a long story. Let’s talk while walking.”

Shop “Christmas Eve “In the singing, you can vaguely hear the voice of Watanabe Toru walking away.

“On a certain night, I turned on the TV and saw TokyoMX TV station is playing…”
