The current Asada family.
The TV screen was on, Rui was sitting on the sofa, her chin resting on her hands, and she was changing channels boredly.
Just as she was about to turn off the TV, she heard the sound of someone walking down the stairs.
Not long after, Hina came in while yawning.
The black pajamas on her body were messy. She half closed her eyes and said lazily.
"Morning Rui~"
"Morning. Why did Hina Nee-san wake up so early today? Don't you usually sleep later than pigs?"
Rui averted her gaze and asked.
Hina went into the kitchen and filled a glass of warm water, speaking slowly.
"Didn't my five tutors go abroad to play? I just want to find some more part time jobs related to education. After a year of training, I'm going to apply to become a Sensei right away, and I have to prepare for the interview~"
After drinking the water in one gulp, she finally regained her energy. Opens the fridge, says "wait for me tonight" to the beer inside, and closes the fridge door.
"By the way, Rui, have you had your breakfast yet?"
"Yes, and eat with him."
"He came out so early?" Hina smiled, "Wow, you still have breakfast together, your relationship is really good~"
Rui looked away and stared at the TV.
"Just normal. After all, he had forgotten his past, so I guess I knew him since yesterday."
Hina said worriedly: "Is this okay? I just remembered now, didn't you secretly shed tears in the car the day you left? The past is very important to you…"
"...That was before." Rui's face turned red, "After all, this has nothing to do with Hina Nee-san."
"Well~ it's okay~" Hina spread her hands.
"This annoying tone..."
She ignored her little sister who shot her a cold glare behind her, and when she turned around to return to her room to change, her gaze met the living agreement emblazoned on the wall.
"Hah? Why is there an additional…"
Hina read softly: "Don't ask how you feel after going to the toilet?"
Hina looked at Rui in disbelief, while she stared at the TV, as if she had nothing to do with herself.
"…Adolescent curiosity?"
"There is no such distorted curiosity."
"Then this..."
"That's none of my business, just ask him."

Shinichi and Kei walked towards the bookstore's counter together, and felt a chill run down their backs.
"Senpai, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, the air conditioner should have been turned on too strong. I just talked about chemical formula balancing techniques, so keep these points in mind first…"
Shinichi ignored the strange feeling and continued explaining chemistry.
And Kei di also listened seriously, nodding from time to time.
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she even wanted to immediately note down his explanation technique, which seemed to be specially adapted for teaching the ignorant, was far more understandable and interesting than the class teacher's teaching.
Even though Kei's grades are very good, she doesn't mind making herself better, so she seizes this opportunity and seeks Shinichi's advice on subjects she is not good at.
What had just happened had been thrown into the universe of parallel time and space by them.
The two didn't mention it, and used the teaching atmosphere to wash away the embarrassment.
Shinichi tries not to look below Kei's waist, although the visually striking white cloth makes him temporarily unforgettable.
Kei was very calm, but the roots of her ears that were hidden behind her pale hair were reddish.
Maintaining a shallow harmony and calm, they talked and listened as they made their way to the counter with baskets of groceries.
Asking Kei to check out first, Shinichi looked back at the dessert freezer in the snack area, his eyes showing contemplation.
When she finished paying the bill, Shinichi asked her to wait outside the door. Even though Kei was confused, she obediently complied.
Until the girl's back disappeared from the door, Shinichi put the basket on the table and said to the male officer with a smile.
"Excuse me, was your shop cleaned recently? The floor is so clean, it makes one feel comfortable after seeing it."
The male officer was taken aback for a moment, he still showed a polite and proud smile.
"Thanks to the compliments, a tidy environment has always been a part of our store's pride."
"Is it true? So, you mopped the bookshelf floor as well?"
Shinichi smiled like a devil.
For some reason, the officer suddenly felt frightened.
"Yeah, right... Excuse me, what's wrong?"
"That's good."
Shinichi smiled kindly.
"After cleaning and causing injury to others due to not posting warning signs, according to Article 209 of the Penal Code, the crime of negligence is punishable by a fine of less than 300,000 yen, and the number of hours of detention will be determined according to the degree of injury, and civil appeals can also be made individually. parallel."
"Is there a monitor in your shop? I had made sure that there were no warning signs posted anywhere near slippery floors, and that no one in the store reminded us to pay attention.
"Then, from the monitor screen, we can see the fact that I accidentally slipped and fell and could have resulted in an injury…"
Under the gaze of the male clerk who was sweating profusely, he started to feel guilty, Shinichi tapped his finger on the counter, and said coldly.
"Do you understand? If my friend suffers a tailbone injury because of this, we can take an injury report to seek compensation from your shop."
"Originally I just wanted to ask you to pay more attention, and I don't want to go too far, I'm not a bad customer after all."
"But now, I think I should make a few comments and requests, to be worthy of your 'link of pride' glory, and by the way, let you remember a lesson."
"The aftermath of the accident was uncontrollable. Today it is okay to get injured, but if the bones are broken or paralyzed… Don't believe me, I can tell you several different cases at home and abroad."
"If this is the case, the consequences of 'accidentally forgetting to save it' are too serious for you to bear. "
(By the way, I have no way of explaining it to the president.)
Shinichi reminds him that it's not his fault, but he still feels ashamed for not taking good care of Shirogane's sister and just seeing her get hurt like this.
"W-What do you want…" The male attendant's voice trembled, and he seemed to have heard what he meant, and his tone was slightly apologetic, "I-I'm just a part-timer, I don't have much money…"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your money."
"I just want to ask you to do a few simple things."
"W-what?!"
The male officer showed a horrified expression, put his hands behind his back, and slowly shook his head with a sad and angry expression.
"I admit, how much do you want?"
Shinichi's veins popped suddenly, and his fist felt hard.
"…No matter what you think, it's definitely not a bad thing!"
