The clouds were covered with heavy rain.

Dadadadadada—

The rapid and powerful raindrops kept hitting the bus platform roof, and the sound was as loud as a thrill.

The bus platform on the roadside in the countryside is simple and dilapidated, only two or three meters long, and the interior is even narrower. Even if you stand against the wet wooden wall in the innermost place, you will still be dripping raindrops floating in outside the platform.

However, except for the woods nearby, there are only large areas of open farmland left, and there is no second place to shelter from the rain.

Some water accumulates on the road, flowing and gathering, setting off a slight wave, stirring up the reflection of the sky.

The clouds are dark and still refuse to fade.

This rain will probably be a while.

Tick.

The ceiling is broken and worn, it rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly on the platform.

Another big drop of rain hit the shoulder. Zong Gu Fangming raised his hand and wiped it, moved his body to the side, and hit another person on the platform.

"Zonggu... it's leaking here too."

Yoshikawa Hongko, whose shoulders were against her shoulders and her hair was dripping, had nowhere to be avoided.

Sonoya turned his head, "Sorry..."

"Don't look at this place."

She quickly hugged her chest and turned her body to the other side.

But this cannot be completely covered. The already wet summer uniform also reveals the color of the inner part on the side.

Tomoya had long seen clearly whether intentionally or not.

He looked at the heavy rain outside again.

"I'd brought my coat if I had known it. It was left in the department room."

"Um……"

“So too.”

"Um……"

The rain slid down my hair in front of my eyes, and the tiny droplets on the lenses were not wiped clean. Yoshikawa looked at the sky and sighed slightly.

“…It’s obviously still rainy season.”

After the Golden Week, time passes quickly.

As summer begins, the trees fade away their new greens and the temperature gradually rises.

In early June, the front of the Meiyu Front landed on Kagoshima and headed north. The air became dull and solemn, with an indelible sense of mud. When the Meteorological Agency realized that it had entered the Kinki area, it had been continuously drained near Kyoto.

It's raining for more than a week.

Since the rainy season, even if it does not rain, the sky is always cloudy and sunny days are rarely seen. Umbrellas have become a must-have, but people always have times of negligence.

To be precise, it is the result of being lucky but not being favored by luck - laziness.

"Why……"

The soaked uniform is against the skin, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Yoshikawa twisted the corners of his clothes and immediately squeezed out a pool of water. He was wearing clothes, and only the corners of his clothes could be wrung out.

She glanced at the side face of Songu.

Although there is no one around, I can't take off my uniform in front of him, right?

Even now he has seen it almost...

"Fortunately, Akane and Ling didn't come."

Looking at the heavy rain outside, Zong Gu nodded and frowned slightly.

"I don't know what happened to Kirino's family..."

The reason why he and Yoshikawa appeared in the bus platform in the countryside was that the Unnatural Research Department received a commission.

【“My dog ​​seems to be able to see unclean things, I hope you can go over and take a look.”】

The client was a girl from Class A in the year. Her residence was not too far away, at least she was in Takayama Town where Tamkai University was located. It was just a little troublesome in the past, so she had to wait for a bus for half an hour.

Kyoko has never appeared in the club office, so Asukiri has to be on duty in the library today.

Akane Kirino, who was originally going to travel with Soya and Yoshikawa, received a call from Kirino Kyoko and learned that something seemed to have happened at home, so she hurried back.

Perhaps because the weekend is approaching or because there are not many expectations, Yoshikawa contacted the client of his class, and the latter had forgotten about this and was almost home.

But after receiving the contact, she strongly invited her, so the two had to take the bus to the bus.

Not long after getting off the bus, it started to rain heavily, which was already cloudy and there was no accident.

Without an umbrella and having nowhere to hide, they could only turn around and temporarily squeeze in the narrow platform.

"I don't know when this rain will fall..."

Yoshikawa took out his cell phone from his schoolbag and looked at the time.

"I've been waiting for twenty minutes. I want to go back."

Zong Gutou didn't reply, "Then you have to wait until the next bus comes."

“…Is it really going back?”

"Unless Kasugabe classmate comes to pick us up with an umbrella, I will get on the bus when I get back."

With the corner of her clothes pinched, Yoshikawa didn't agree, and she didn't care about the girl in her class.

After waiting for a while, the bus did not come, something else suddenly became mixed into the constant sound of rain.

Zong Gu poked his head out and took a look. Someone was walking towards this side in the rain in a raincoat. What he heard was the sound of the other party stepping on the water.

Looking at the face under the hat, it was an old man in his fifties and sixties, who seemed to be a farmer nearby.

"What's wrong?" Yoshikawa asked.

"Someone is here."

"Karukagbe?"

"Well... it might be Lao Kasugabe."

"ha?"

"An old man."

“…”

Some noise came from behind.

Just as Zong Gu was about to turn around, his hands were placed on his shoulders.

"Don't move..."

Yoshikawa squeezed behind him, "Help me block it, I don't want the old man to see the underwear."

“…”

The rain poured on his face, and Zong Gu didn't say anything, just stood there.

The old farmer wearing a straw raincoat and a straw hat quickly walked to the platform. Seeing Soya who was soaked all over and Yoshikawa with only his head exposed behind him, he stopped and looked at it for a few seconds.

Out of courtesy, the two greeted him.

"Didn't bring an umbrella."

"Yes."

"I've entered the plum blossoms, so I can't go out without an umbrella."

“You are talking about…”

"Don't do bad things here."

“…”

The old man looked at the two of them a few more times, turned the hat on his head, and continued to move forward while the accumulated water was accumulated.

The two of them still maintained their front and back positions, and a large drop of rain fell from the ceiling, hitting the back of Zong Gu's neck.

He shrank his neck, covered it with a soft hand, and gently wiped it with the wet end of his hair.

"Songgu's hair is a little longer."

“It’s been a while since I cut it.”

Yoshikawa wiped it a few more times and his hands fell back on his shoulders.

"Songgu is too tall, and it's a little difficult to keep lifting his arms."

"That old man has gone far away, come out."
