"I know."

Akane Kirino was quite forgiving, maybe she was really hungry, "It's no problem to come back before twelve o'clock."

"...Then how do you plan to get out?"

When Zong Gu asked the question, he had already vaguely received the answer.

Akane Kirino smiled mysteriously at him, "Follow me."

After listening to the noise for a while, the two sneaked out of the dormitory building and came to the edge of the atrium wall.

"I've been observing it for a long time."

Akane Kirino pointed to a section in front of her, "It's easy to climb out here."

"..."

Most of the time, it is a joyful thing to connect with others, but at this moment Zonggu just felt helpless.

"I'm just telling you why you always stare at this place when you take a walk."

Kirino Akane was happy, "Soya feels the same way, right?"

"Go back."

"What are you talking about?"

Holding onto the iron fence, she stepped on the cement wall with one foot, followed her up, and then looked back at him, "I'll go there first."

"You're going out like this?"

Soya gestured to the pajamas she was wearing.

Shorts and shorts are not suitable for going out no matter how you look at them.

"Well..."

She looked down and hesitated for just a moment.

"Anyway, I'm just going to the convenience store and I'll be back soon. It's okay."

Using her hands and feet, Akane Kirino climbed over the iron fence skillfully and looked at him from outside, "Can you crawl?"

"..."

Zong Gu didn't want her to worry about such a thing, so he took a step forward and turned over with more fluent movements.

"Wow."

Kirino Akane clapped her hands, "That's amazing."

She was afraid that he would suddenly change his mind, but the way she tried to persuade him to stay was like coaxing a child.

Zonggu looked back at the training center inside the fence, and then at the door. It was already dark, and no one was on duty at this time, but the monitor facing the door would not rest.

"There are monitors over there, let's go around here."

"Uh-huh."

Pushing aside the branches, he looked down at his thighs exposed outside his shorts, and could only pray that there would be fewer mosquitoes in the forest.

"Go back quickly and try to come back within an hour."

Kirino Akane kept nodding.

"Okay~"

After passing through the woods and a little far away from the forest training center, the two returned to the road.

It was dark all around, and the artificial light was locked in an isolated island in the forest by iron fences. There were no street lights along the way, and the bright moon came to shine.

The night was already dark, but the surroundings were not quiet at all. The chirping of insects was endless, and there were all kinds of unexplained movements coming out from everywhere.

As they walked, Kirino Akane grabbed Soya's arm.

"Don't get lost..."

"Um."

He smiled and glanced ahead.

Now that he has come out, he doesn't want to return without success, and is currently looking for the path shown on the map.

After walking a few more steps, Kirino Akane suddenly remembered something.

"Oops……"

"What's wrong?" Zonggu had already seen the intersection of the path.

"I forgot to remind Soya to disguise." She was a little worried and annoyed. "If the patrolling teacher finds out that Soya is not in the room, it will be troublesome."

Zonggu stopped and said, "Then go back now."

She bit her lip and hesitated under the moonlight, "Well..."

"Just kidding."

He pulled her across the road and walked to the other side, "This should be the path."

Kirino Akane looked down the dark path in front of her to the end. She couldn't see anything at the end, so she looked at him again.

"If discovered..."

"Don't worry." Zong Gu walked forward, and she followed immediately, "I told the patrolling teacher to go to the bathroom. Even if there is any problem, other people in the room will cover it up for me."

Akane Kirino nodded, "That's it..."

"What was the disguise Kirino was talking about just now?"

"Humph~ I covered the travel bag with a quilt and pretended that the person was still inside."

Zonggu shook his head and smiled again.

"So smart."

The path was also two or three meters wide and could be used by ordinary vehicles. However, the trees on both sides blocked the moonlight, making it darker underneath. Kirino Akane unconsciously moved closer.

The softness on both sides of her arms, the fragrance on her body, and her voice all came to her: "It's so dark in here."

"Are you scared?"

"It would be scary to come here alone."

Soya looked at her, "Then if I refused a little more firmly, Kirino wouldn't come out?"

"...I feel quite close."

Two or three kilometers is almost the distance from Kirino's house to the izakaya Rakusentei, but the environment on the way is completely different.

After walking a few more steps, Kirino Akane took out her cell phone and looked at the road under her feet.

"Did you use this to pretend to be a flashlight just now?"

"Pretend...ah, I was looking for you."

"Just send me a message."

"That Zonggu will definitely not come out."

Zonggu opened his mouth but did not deny it.

Kirino Akane hummed softly, letting him hold the phone, and grabbed his arm with both hands.

"Does Hongzi know about this?"

"I don't know, I didn't tell her. Just go back after buying the snacks and give them to her."

After ten or twenty minutes, the two finally crossed the seemingly endless path and saw a few street lights in the distance.

Ahead is the village closest to the training center. Judging from the map, this is just a remote corner of the village, with a more formal entrance and exit still connected to the national highway in the other direction.

Hearing the girl hanging on her arm let out a deep breath, Sogu also relaxed a lot.

"I wonder if there is oden in the convenience store..."

"It's a rural place, don't expect too much."

He turned off the light and returned the phone to her, "You should be laughing if you can open it 24 hours a day."

Kirino Akane laughed, then gradually solidified.

"that……"

"What?"

"Generally speaking, convenience stores should be open 24 hours a day, right?"

"..."

Zong Gu was startled, then turned to look at her for a while, and spoke slowly.

"Generally speaking, convenience stores in cities look like this."

Akane Kirino took a deep breath and looked at the street lights in the distance, her eyes widening.
