“I’m a little sleepy.”

Summer Solstice: “…”

Didn’t you just finish your tea?

“Oh my, my, not only is the dinner we treated you to just instant noodles, you’re not even willing to invite the guests to stay at home for a while?” The girl said in a tone of pretending to be aggrieved, but there was no sign of being aggrieved on her face.

Could it be that she really wanted to experience it because of what I just said?

Xia Zhi thought.

However, as the girl said, although he could send her home, since she had taken the initiative to ask to stay overnight, it seemed difficult for him to “drive” her away… After all, it was he who took the initiative to invite her over.

……… … …

Of course, “living together” is “living together”, and it is obviously unrealistic for me to live in the same room with her.

Xia Zhi had no choice but to give up his room.

“Don’t worry, I won’t peek under Mr. Xia Zhi’s bed.” Before closing the door, Tokisaki Kurumi winked at him and assured him.

I’m not worried about that.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

But, where would I sleep?

…By the way, could she be assisting herself?

Looking at the tightly closed door, Xia Zhi suddenly realized something.

He shook his head and put aside the guesses in his mind. After thinking for a while, he came to the door of Kotori’s room… As a sister who had once slept in the same bed with him, she should not refuse her brother’s request to stay overnight, right?

“Kotori, I…”

However, Xia Zhi had apparently forgotten his inherent “lucky” buff in this world.

As soon as he knocked on the door, he happened to see his sister in a scene that was not suitable for her brother to see.

“…”

The girl held the clothes she had just changed out of in her hands, looked at the familiar figure at the door, and blinked blankly.

Subsequently

“ah!”

…Okay, it looks like I’ll have to sleep on the sofa.

Xia Zhi closed the door again and took the pillow off his head, thinking, just as he was about to turn around and go downstairs, he heard a slight “click” sound from the door not far away, and it was opened a small gap.

“Mr. Xia Zhi…”

Shiono poked half of her head out from behind the door, looked at him carefully and asked, “Are you going to the living room… to sleep?”

How did she know?

Could it be that you had been lying at the door and eavesdropping?

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi comforted her, “Don’t worry, I sleep very soundly at night, and if Shion wants to go downstairs to sneak some snacks in the middle of the night, she won’t wake me up.”

In fact, what he wanted to say was going downstairs to the bathroom, but considering the girl’s shy personality, he chose to change his words.

However, Yoshino shook her head vigorously, her cheeks flushed, and she whispered shyly:

“Well…if there is no room…Mr. Xia Zhi…you can come to my place…”

Angel.

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

……Several.

Chapter 1255: As a brother, it is normal to have several books about my sister, right?

I couldn’t sleep during Xiazhi.

It has nothing to do with the cute girl sleeping next to him, nor does it have much to do with the two cups of coffee he drank tonight.

Although elves can go for long periods of time without sleep, it does not mean that they will not feel sleepy.

So

Feeling the occasional glances from the side, Xia Zhi sighed slightly and opened his eyes helplessly.

At this moment, there were only the dim lights and scratches on the ceiling in the room, forming a clear picture in the darkness.

“Yoshino?”

He tried calling the girl’s name.

A small cry of “Ah” was heard in the darkness, followed by a rustling sound, and the girl could be vaguely seen pulling her head into the quilt.

　”Nine Three Three” Can’t I just hide under the quilt and pretend I didn’t hear it? I just exposed myself.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

As expected, it’s because you feel uncomfortable sleeping with yourself, right?

“If you’re not used to it, I’d better go downstairs,” he suggested.

“no!”

As soon as the words fell, Shion immediately got out of the quilt and refuted.

Then, her voice quickly became quieter. She grasped the edge of the quilt with both hands, half of her face was buried under the quilt, and she said softly with red cheeks:

“I’m just… a little nervous…”

It’s normal to feel nervous, thinking back to the first time Xia Zhi slept in the same room with a girl… uh, it seemed like it was during lunch break in the school classroom?

As for whether taking a nap in the classroom counts as “living together” with a female classmate, I feel like it’s the same question as whether wearing school uniforms counts as couple outfits.

“Mr. Xia Zhi…”

The girl’s voice was heard again.

“Ok?”

“…Can you…hold hands with me?”

Xia Zhi was slightly stunned, not quite understanding her

“This way… I won’t be nervous…” Yoshino replied shyly in a low voice.

…Is that so?

Xia Zhi thought to himself, and reached into her quilt, holding the slightly cold little hand.

Even though she was in bed, the girl’s body temperature was still a little low.

Generally speaking, women’s body temperature is slightly higher than men’s, but this doesn’t seem to be the case with her… Maybe it has something to do with her special physique. After all, she is an elf who can control the cold air.

If it were summer, the girl’s small body would be cool and soft, and it must feel very comfortable to hold it in your arms, right?

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but think so.

On the other side, Yoshino pursed her lips slightly.

Sure enough, all the anxiety and tension in my heart calmed down.

As long as he holds my hand like this, I can gain courage…

Recalling what happened during her date with the boy yesterday, she couldn’t help but hold his hand tighter.

“Mr. Xia Zhi…”

Shion seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at the boy curiously and asked

“Does this count as a date?”

Well this…

Xia Zhi showed a hesitant expression.

Does it count as such?

Although sleeping in the same room is sometimes part of a date, or a part of the ending.

But in the case of Yoshino, it doesn’t seem particularly appropriate, right?

“Ahem… Come to think of it, what did Yoshino do at home while we were at school?” After thinking about it, he decided to change the subject.

Hearing the boy’s question, Yoshino thought for a moment.

“Well…watching TV…watching DVDs…studying the phone Mr. Xia Zhi bought for me.”

She replied while recalling:

“I cleaned the house… and tidied up Mr. Xia Zhi’s room…”

…Why did you specifically emphasize cleaning my room?

Xia Zhi couldn’t help but think.

“That… Mr. Xia Zhi…”

I heard a girl’s slightly uneasy voice.

Xia Zhi looked at her puzzledly.

“It’s just… I accidentally fell while cleaning and messed up the comics on your bookshelf… After reorganizing them, I found that I can’t find the second volume of a comic…” Yoshino said apologetically…

So this is an apology.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, he thought it was something else.

“It’s okay.” He comforted the girl.

I’m not a comics collector or someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, so I wouldn’t get angry just because one or two volumes were lost… Besides, Yoshino is so cute, I wouldn’t be angry with her even if I lost all of them, right?

“By the way, which one are you talking about?” he asked curiously.

“This… seems to be called… ○ no Sora?” Yoshino thought for a moment and replied uncertainly.

Summer Solstice: “…”

Was this the type of subject matter that you were watching during this period?

He complained in his mind.

…Speaking of it.

“You didn’t open it to read it?” He asked the girl as if he remembered something.

Yoshino shook her head and continued, “I was planning to tell Mr. Xia Zhi earlier… so I put the comic book on the desk first…”

That’s fine.

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, then was slightly stunned

Wait, it’s on the desk… In other words, Kurumi can see the comic book as soon as she enters?

Ah, this…

He pulled the corner of his mouth and fell into silence.

“Did I… do something wrong…”

Noticing the boy’s reaction, Yoshino asked timidly.

“…No, it’s nothing.”

Xia Zhi turned over, touched her little head, and said softly, “Go to bed quickly, it’s very late now.”

“Um……”

Shion nodded obediently and gently closed her eyes.

But not long after, she opened her eyes again.

“What’s wrong?” Xia Zhi looked at her puzzledly.

“that……”

The girl blushed slightly and said shyly in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
