"is that so?"

Girls don't know.

But she hopes that is.

“…What’s so urgent?”

She murmured in a low voice.

......

"Maybe you can ask it next time you see it."

Xiao Xiao's eyebrows raised slightly.

As for whether the monster is willing to say it depends on Anna's "ability".

"next time……"

"I don't know if I can meet again..."

The girl was a little annoyed that she had not contacted the Cat more than she had.

However, she was not a good person at this.

...

"It's time for you to go home."

Xiao Xiao reminded the girls to pay attention to time, "It's already dark."

ah?

The girl looked up.

"It's really dark?!"

She was a little surprised.

It was still very bright when she left the dance classroom.

...

"How did you go home?"

Xiao Xiao asked.

"I'll take the bus back."

The girl's honest answer.

"Let's go."

"I'll take you to the bus stop."

Xiao Xiao turned around and walked out of the alley.

"Why-"

The girl pursed her lips.

Although I don't want to bother others.

Especially the other party is still a boy who is not that familiar with.

But after just experiencing the previous incident, she felt that someone took her to the station... It was pretty good.

...

“…Master Xiao”

Anna made a sound to break the silence between the two.

The colorful lights of the shop, the flow of people, and the bustling traffic on the streets. These familiar pictures and the noise in her ears made her completely relax.

"Can the meat of that raccoon cat really make people not jealous?"

...

"Maybe."

"After all, I haven't eaten it."

Xiao Xiao thought, "If you have the chance, I can try it."

"Why?"

The girl was surprised.

Try, try?

But……

“Practice is the only criterion for testing truth, isn’t it?”

Xiao Xiao smiled at the girl with a lateral face.

The girl blinked.

"……Um."

"Repent?"

Xiao Xiao asked vaguely, but the girl suddenly understood what the other party was referring to.

She did not deny it as fiercely as before.

She lowered her eyelids and looked at the toe of her red shoe.

"...I'm just thinking, will it be much easier that way..."

...

"Well, it should be much easier."

Xiao Xiao's affirmation really made the girl feel a little regretful.

Why did she refuse so firmly just now?

There is Master Xiao here...

Master Xiao...

"ah!"

The girl exclaimed.

She seemed to understand a little why this boy was called Master Xiao.

Is this the reason?

She looked sideways and looked up at the boy beside her.

...

Xiao Xiao smiled at her, "What's wrong?"

Girls open their mouths.

For a moment, she felt that she had many questions to ask.

But the moment before the exit, she pursed her lips.

"……nothing."

She has never liked to care about other people's privacy.

People are willing to say it, she listens.

If someone doesn't say it, she won't ask.

Her curiosity has never been very strong.

Perhaps it was because she spent all her time and energy pursuing her dreams.

So, she didn't have the extra energy to share with others' affairs.

As time passed, she could often clearly realize that she was becoming more and more anxious.

Every minute and every second are precious to her.

But... she has wasted a lot of time these days.

"Oh~"

Before she could react, a sigh escaped from her throat.

She was slightly stunned.

...

The cup that appeared in front of her immediately opened her mouth in surprise.

"……milk tea?"
