Hongzi was a little sad.

Zong Gu, opposite the dining table, did not respond to her hint, and only stared at the rice balls on the table.

She kicked him again.

"—The legs are about to break."

"Huh?" Akane Kirino was stunned and lowered her head again.

Hongzi glared at him and had already stopped his feet in time.

"What's wrong with Soya's legs?" Akane Kirino asked with her head raised.

"It's okay, it just hurts a little."

"Did you kowtow when you fell into the river last night?" She looked down at his legs again, "It was still when you got ashore, you hit the stone?"

"Maybe."

"Where does it hurt?"

Zong Gu looked at Hongzi, "Where?"

“…”

She glared at him again, without saying a word.

Akane Kirino got up and walked around him, not seeing any bruises or wounds on his legs, and asked again: "Where?"

"here."

Zong Gu pointed to the place where Hongzi kicked several times, "It hurt a little just now, but now I don't feel it anymore."

"Hidden disease!"

“…Don’t just use it randomly after learning a new word.”

Akane Kirino squatted down and poked the place with her finger, "Don't you feel like this?"

"Um."

"Why did it hurt just now?"

He glanced at Hongzi again.

"Because you're nervous."

"That's a neurological disease."

"...I said don't use nouns that you don't actually understand."

"snort."

Finally poked his leg, Akane Kirino stood up and returned to her seat.

"After that's it, Kirino..."

"Um?"

"Did you see Wushan fire last night?"

"Five mountains send fire... I saw it. After all, it was so conspicuous and could be seen everywhere, but I didn't feel the mood to appreciate it." Akane Kirino said, "What's wrong?"

"I was unconscious and saw nothing. I remember Kirino said that there were related photos in your photo album, and I wanted to see it."

"Okay." She was happy and got up and went out, "Wait a minute, I have to find out where the album is."

Only Sonoko and Hongzi were left in the kitchen.

"Only Akane will believe this excuse."

"After all, I'm not very good at making excuses."

"You are so humble." She couldn't help but make a sarcasm.

"Is this all Hongzi wants to say?"

She was silent for a moment, "What did Akane drive me home, what did she want to do?"

"I don't know either."

“…To confess to Soya?”

"I thought so just now, but I think it's unlikely."

Hongzi hoped that he could make an objection, and was eager to hear a reason that would make him feel convinced, "Why?"

Soya looked at her: "If Kirino had this plan, with her personality, whether Hongko was here or not, it would probably not affect her actions."

Hongzi pursed her lower lip and wanted to refute it, but she couldn't find a decisive reason.

"But even if it's not a confession, it's probably related to it..." he guessed.

Akane Kirino's thoughts looked clear and transparent, like a cup of clear water, but no one knew that it was just water or that sugar or fine salt was melted.

After looking at him for a while, Hongzi asked, "What if Akane plans to do, what will Zong Gu do?"

"I can only see what she plans to do first."

She was unstable and could only adapt to the situation.

Hongzi fell into deep thought, and the two sat opposite each other speechlessly until Akane Kirino returned to the kitchen with the album.

"There are only a few photos... Did I remember it wrong? I always feel that there are many photos of Wushan sending fire."

Soyamoto wanted to remind her that she might have been mixed with the album of mobile phones, but he didn't really want to read it, so he didn't say anything, took the album and flipped it out casually.

Akane Kirino stood beside him and pointed to one of the photos, "At this time, I'm only in the third grade of elementary school."

The girl in a bathrobe smiled in front of the camera, and on the Higashiyama of Matsuzaki behind her, a huge "Miao"-shaped flame was burning.

"So cute." Soya said casually.

Akane Kirino's lips curled up and said nothing.

Hongzi saw it, looked at the photos, and looked at him again.

"You are indeed Lolicon."

Soya was too lazy to explain, "Yes."

“…”

After seeing a few photos of Wushan sending fire, it was still early and I was idle. Akane Kirino signaled him to continue to flip forward.

"This album must have been a few years."

"It's only two or three years, but the photos inside have been for many years. The album was left for more than 20 years, and the connection was disconnected, so my mother bought this new one."

Zong Gu flipped forward, and she became more and more immature in the photo, and the old house appeared in the background more and more times.

In the photo, there is also a couple he has never met before. Soya guessed that they were probably the nominal owner of the house, namely Akane Kirino's uncle and aunt.

"Yeah, guess right. Uncle and dad are a bit like each other. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Younger Kirino Hiroyuki and Kirino Keiko also appeared frequently. The former only had a slightly tender face than now, and his quiet expression almost didn't change much. The latter became more sharp as he was when he was younger. Compared with now, he was just two people.

“Miss Qingzi has changed a lot…”

"Yeah, mom used to be cool."

Turning forward, Akane Kirino gradually changed from a primary school student to a young girl crawling on the floor, to a baby held in her arms by Kirino Keiko, and finally frozen on the day she was born.

Zong Gu erected the page of the album and swayed left and right twice: "From now on, this world has become different."

"Hahaha--"

He returned the album to her.

"Don't you look at the front?"

For Soya, Akane Kirino is the protagonist of this album, so there is no need to read the photos before her birth.

"There's nothing to see."

"But it's a little early to go out now... Start with this photo of my birth, and look it back."

"It's OK. Go to the living room."

The three of them came to the living room, and Akane Kirino and Hongko sat next to him one by one.

Soya flipped the album backwards, and watched Akane Kirino grow up little by little from the moments that were frozen in the past. From the staggering moments when she just learned to walk, to running with all her might, he took the lead in the track and field field of the primary school sports meet.

;From the wildness, to the gracefulness when graduating from middle school, my eyes still showed unhidden agility.

"Well, the person next to me looks familiar... Is it your friend?"

"Hahaha. That's right, I'm my best friend!"

The photos in the album only ended up graduating from Akane Kirino High School, and nothing new is available.

"Now, we basically take photos with our mobile phones." Akane Kirino put away the album, "Apart from major events like graduation, we don't usually leave such photos... Although it's very convenient to print."

"Well, unless there is a special commemorative significance."
