Dessert shop.
Corner by the window.
"Fumino, what happened to you just now?" Ogata asked seriously.
Even she knew it definitely wasn't a bad dream.
"Only just..."
Furuhashi bit her fine lips, looked at Naoki beside her, then took a deep breath and spoke.
No need to hide.
The bodies of the two are often swapped, so one could say they are the closest people in the world.
Furuhashi didn't like the way she spoke in secret, intentionally making people worry, or in other words, the excessive behavior of guarding one's half.
...
"...So."
Ogata pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his brows furrowed slightly, and a serious thought appeared on his small face.
"No, I don't remember at all." Ogata quickly shook his head, his voice calm, "Fumino and Asakawa-san definitely won't lie to me, so I believe that."
This belief was too heavy, she had to doubt it!
"But..."
Ogata puffed out his cheeks a little, and looked at Naoki:
"Why can Fumino remember but I don't remember anything?"
"As it happens." Naoki coughed. "It happened before you could think about it, but Fumino couldn't think about it."
Ogata leaned forward, chasing it:
"Eyes roam, and you even touch your nose. Those are all signs of a guilty conscience… There are very few situations that Fumino can't remember, right?"
Naoki: "😐"
Everyone said stop looking at the analysis of micro-expressions, you have fallen into the evil path!
Real understanding of other people must be emotional resonance, not analyzing other people with micro-expressions!
"Asakawa-san is biased." Ogata puffed out his face.
"I do not."
"Then I want too." Ogata got up and sat next to Naoki, "If Fumino can remember it, I'm sure I can too, right?"
"That's right..." Naoki looked around, and there were already customers around who cast subtle glances, "We can talk about it when we get back?"
"It is here." Ogata held one of Naoki's fingers, "I don't want to wait any longer."
"Fumino, help!"
Naoki gave Furuhashi a sad look.
"Mind your own business." Furuhashi angrily. "Don't look at me."
Naoki sighed helplessly, and explained softly:
"I can help wake it up, but his memory is incomplete, and will slowly recover over the next few days."
"It doesn't matter." Ogata didn't care at all, "Hurry up."
Just do it.
Naoki lowered his head and kissed Ogata's cold and soft lips.
Is it normal for high school students to kiss in public?
Kissing Ogata in front of Furuhashi is normal, right?
"He actually kissed her!"
"Is that girl an elementary school student?"
"Bullying elementary school students in broad daylight, where are the police!"
If it weren't for the high school uniform on Ogata's body, some customers would have reported the incident long ago.
A few moments later.
Naoki let go of Ogata.
"I remember." Ogata blushed, his lips parted slightly, a bewildered expression on his small face, "Fumino and I switch bodies a lot… Wasn't that an accident?"
"Exaggerating." Furuhashi criticizes Naoki. "I thought it was really an accident, but I didn't expect everything to be premeditated."
"Very sorry." Naoki said sincerely, "I'll apologize now."
"Don't disturb the shop, eat your dessert quickly."
"I want Fumino to feed me."
"Don't even think about it."
"Wait a moment." Ogata's eyes suddenly became sharper, "I remember something."
"Uh, what?"
Furuhashi turned his head curiously.
"You have done such a thing, right?" Ogata was displeased "Why do you always leave me?"
"Cough, cough, cough." Furuhashi immediately covered his mouth and coughed, a blush stain on his face turning red, "It's getting dark soon, eat dessert quickly, and go home after eating!"
...
After eating dessert.
Before they knew it, it was already night.
The faint light of the setting sun spread gently on the street, boys passing by holding basketballs, girls riding bicycles, and the distant sounds of crows all grew soft under the setting sun.
The three of them left the dessert shop together, then headed home separately.
Naoki walks into the apartment alone, and as he passes by the small garden, he happens to see Nanako walking out with a corgi.
Nanako becomes an elementary school student again at some point, but she is not wearing her elementary school uniform.
Naoki's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked to Nanako's side: "Why didn't you tell me when you were a child?"
"What are you talking about? I was just asking for a day off anyway." Nanako lifted her face, and snorted in disdain, "You didn't notice that I wasn't at school all day, did you?"
"We're not in the same class." Naoki coughed "So I didn't notice."
"Tsk, it's just the class next door. In your mouth, it becomes the end of the world?"
"I am wrong." Naoki sincerely apologized, "Leave me to walk the dog for today."
"Go." Nanako shooed away. "I've walked Kabuinujiro, and I'm ready to go home."
Naoki looked at the corgi that kept wagging its tail, and asked:
"Kabuinujiro, do you want to play in the park for a bit?"
Kabuinujirou nodded.
"Listen, Kabuinujiro nodded." Naoki smiled.
"Then you and Kabuinujiro go out for a walk, I'll go home and cook first... Wait, what are you holding my hand for?"
Nanako opened her eyes wide and looked up.
Naoki holding the rope in one hand and Nanako in the other, turned around and walked towards the garden, said with a righteous face:
"Take a walk first, I'll take you back after sightseeing. It's too dangerous for elementary school students to walk around at night."
"Danger you big-headed ghost!"
Nanako's eyes fell on a gazebo not far away, then away like an electric shock. A blush immediately appeared on her face and she gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm an elementary school student now, you still want to do that kind of thing… Are you still human?!"
"What are you talking about?" Naoki asked suspiciously. "Just to walk the dog in the park"
Nanako showed her two rows of tiny silver teeth: "A liar is a dog."
"No problem."
...
Naoki walked around the garden twice with Kabuinujiro on his left and Nanako on his right.
The sky darkened completely without knowing it.
In the middle of the night, the wind was cool and cold in the garden, and no one was there.
"I'm tired of walking." Naoki held Nanako's small hand and walked towards the gazebo, "Get some rest and go home."
Nanako suddenly struggled: "You said you don't want to do that kind of thing?!"
"You misunderstood, just rest for a bit." Naoki said sincerely, "You trust me."
"I won't believe a word!"
...
It's a pity that Nanako was small and weak, couldn't fight back at all, and was finally taken to the gazebo by the devil.
"I'm an elementary school student now." Nanako blushed and kicked angrily, "Give me a little moderation, it will be ruined!"
"It's just that your body is getting smaller, and your mental age is already that of a mature high school student." Naoki smiled. "So there's no problem."
"Abnormal!"
...
Even so, Naoki wouldn't really bully Nanako.
Humans can't, or at least shouldn't.
The two sat in the gazebo and chatted for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they finally left the park with the dog.
First went to Nanako's house, Naoki was in charge of cooking, after dinner, took a bath together, and lastly was kicked out of the house by Nanakk.
...
A blink of an eye to the next day.
Naoki woke up on time as usual, had breakfast, went to school, and met Furuhashi and Ogata who were waiting by the roadside.
"The national exam starts today." Furuhashi suggested, "Shall we go and see Asumi senpai?"
Naoki nodded in agreement: "Let's go, go and send blessings to Asumi senpai."
The three of them walked towards the clinic together.
The journey is not far. Upon arriving, Asumi wasn't lying in bed like yesterday. She had woken up early and finished dressing.
"Good morning, uncle."
Naoki greeted politely.
Asumi's father was wearing a white coat, talking to Asumi, and there was a petite girl beside him.
"Are you Asumi's friend?" The woman warmly greeted, "Come in, I'll get you some fruit."
Hearing this voice, Naoki knows the girl's identity.
Naoki turned his head and looked at Asumi.
This is Mrs. Kominami.
On New Year's Day, when Naoki came to the clinic to give Asumi his New Year's greetings, his aunt once spoke outside the door.
Back then, he had only heard her voice, but today he finally saw the real person.
No wonder Asumi was so small, so it was hereditary.
He had been here many times before, but he had never seen Mrs. Kominami who looked like she was working overseas.
"Just wait and see."
Asumi stared in embarrassment, apparently also remembering what happened on New Year's Eve, then turned her head as if nothing had happened, and continued talking to Furuhashi and Ogata.
"Asumi senlai, have you taken all the test kits?" Furuhashi asked.
Asumi nodded: "I have taken all of them."
"Would you like to check it again?" Furuhashi was a little worried.
Naoki complained beside him: "Every year we talk about entrance tickets. Every year prospective students forget to bring it. We have to check again and be careful."
Asumi opened her small school bag, and checked everything again: "Everything is in the school bag."
After having a quick breakfast and drinking another glass of milk, Asumi wiped the corner of her mouth with a tissue:
"I go."
Asumi turned around and took out an electric scooter.
"Hah?" Furuhashi was surprised. "Asumi senpai rode a scooter over there?"
"It's morning rush hour, and the subway is too crowded." Asumi puts on a motorcycle helmet and transforms into a heroic motorcycle girl. "It's more convenient to drive there."
Naoki: "Isn't it cool to ride a scooter there?"
"It's not that cold." Asumi sat on the scooter, "I'm wearing gloves, and there's a heater under my shirt."
"Should I give you…"
"No, stop what you say next."
Asumi looked up.
Mom and Dad are right in front, as well as Furuhashi and Ogata, how can it be possible to add a buff!
"Asumi, drive slowly," urged Mrs. Kominami.
"I know." Asumi waved her hand and started the motorcycle, "I'm off."
"Cheer up, Asumi senpai."
Ogata clenched his small fists and cheered.
Furuhashi followed and said "Asumi senpai believe in herself, you can definitely do it."
Naoki: "Keep a normal mind and believe in the hard work you've put in this year."
Asumi waved her hand and left.
Watching Asumi leave, the three said goodbye to Asumi's parents and continued with school.
As soon as they arrived at the school gate, the three Thorn Club girls who had been ambushing for a long time jumped out.
"Fumino-chan, have you started dating Asakawa-san yet?"
"You misunderstand." Furuhashi blushed, and hurriedly said, "Listen to my explanation."
"Fumino-chan should really explain it carefully." Kashima put his hands behind his back. "Why do you keep hiding such an important matter from us?"
Naoki said beside him: "Because I was worried about being killed by you."
"Don't worry." Another girl reached out and patted Naoki on the shoulder, "Someone already issued an assassination order for you last night."
Naoki raised his hand: "Is it too late for me to give up now?"
"Giving yourself up can only be given a lighter sentence, don't try to eliminate evil." Kashima complained. "I didn't realize that you were secretly taking care of yourself and stealing."
"Yesterday was a misunderstanding, don't talk nonsense." Furuhashi refuses to admit it.
What about dating, if she admits it, what will the others do?
If it is discovered that Naoki has more than one girlfriend, the school will not be able to survive.
Nothing of the kind, absolutely not.
"Yesterday was really playing Truth or Dare. I lost and received the punishment." Furuhashi said quickly, "That's it."
"But someone said you cried in the library."
"Other people see it wrong."
Kashima took out his cell phone: "What about this picture?"
Naoki looked at the phone and immediately fell silent.
It was secretly photographed.
The library is a place to study, don't play with your phone, let alone secretly take pictures of other people!
Walking to the school gate, Naoki immediately felt subtle glances cast from all directions.
"He's the one actually dating Fumino-sama, dammit!"
"Fumino-sama belongs to everyone, let's fundraise and kill him together."
"Count me."
...
Most of the students just want to watch the fun, then hide in a corner to watch the drama.
The relationship between high school students is very normal. It's better to say that Furuhashi is very popular. It's odd that she hasn't had a date since receiving the love letter from the shoe closet, so it's not exactly big news.
In the library yesterday afternoon, if the one who hugged Naoki was Mafuyu, it would be a big event that shocked the entire school.
But...
At the corner of the corridor, a hand suddenly pressed against the wall.
Two naughty girls blocked Naoki in the corner, killed, and said with a displeased face:
"You bastard, dare to trick and play with Anego's feelings, come with us!"
