When he returned to the restaurant and sat down, Zong Gu picked up the cup and remembered that the juice inside had been blown over and flowing.

"Come--"

"Thanks."

Akane Kirino poured him a full cup, then looked at the door, "Where is Hongzi?"

"She also got a little bit of it on her clothes and was still cleaning it up there."

"oh."

After a while, Hongzi came back.

Facing the casual gaze, she subconsciously dodged and then took the initiative to meet her.

It was okay, she told herself that she had checked in front of the mirror just now, her eyes were not red, her face was not marked, and she could not see anything.

It's fine.

"Hongko has been there for a long time." Akane Kirino said to her across Soya, "Is it difficult to clean up?"

"What?"

"Juice on the clothes," Soya said.

"Well..." She glanced at him and smiled at Akane Kirino, "It's okay, it's wiped clean."

"Uh-huh."

The dinner continued.

The adults kept talking and talking, and there were more and more empty wine bottles on and under the table until late at night.

"Wow... the wine tastes so strong."

Back at the restaurant, Akane Kirino raised her hand and suffused the air in front of her, but it couldn't dissipate the alcohol. She glanced at the leftovers on the table, and she looked at her parents again. Fortunately, both of them looked like they were

Still sober.

She was called over, "Mom, Dad, are you going back?"

"Um."

Kirino Keiko looked at her daughter, "Is Soya still here?"

The adults have been drinking until now, and the three children have got off the table early and stayed in the living room.

"Oh."

As soon as Akane Kirino turned around, Soya came over, "Are you going back?"

"Dad has drunk a few more drinks, so I'll ask you." Kirino Keiko said to him.

"OK."

Hongko's father was unable to drink and had been lying down for a while. Mrs. Yoshikawa didn't drink much and took the guests out with her two daughters.

"Be careful on the road. Soya Kun, Mr. Kirino and Miss Keiko will ask you."

"OK."

Watching the Kirino family walk under the street lights in front, Aoko turns her head and looks at her sister beside her, "Has Sonoko Jun become their child?"

"No."

"Is that right? Hongzi is going to live tonight?"

“…can’t go.”

"Why?"

"I want to stay at home with my sister."

“Wow, unbelievable.”

"Get in." Mrs. Yoshikawa turned around and walked in. "Dad is still asleep in the restaurant. Aoko, please help dad back to the room with me."

"No, it's all the smell of alcohol, it's so smelly. Let Hongzi come."

"Do you want your sister to be crushed?"

"Then let Hongzi's boyfriend come."

"Stop being poor."

Before entering, Hongzi looked at the figures under the street lights for the last time, but found that Soya and Akane Kirino looked back at this side.

“…”

She immediately raised her hand and waved it a few times.

The two of them also waved their hands to respond.

"Hongzi?"

"Here you come!"

The Kirino couple had an extremely alcoholic drink. After drinking all night, they were just a little shaking when walking, and their consciousness was still clear. When they were sent home, the rest of the matter was not to be worried about Soya and Akane Kirino.

"Thank you, I've really helped. There's nothing else, Soya and Akane go there."

"OK."

Pour a large glass of water, Kirino Keiko took a sip first, and then handed the cup to her husband.

"Or slept here tonight."

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Akane Kirino looking at him, and Soya remained silent, "No need."

"Be careful on the road."

When he left Kirino's house and was about to reach the stone path, Soya looked back.

Kirino Keiko was still standing at the door, watching them.

“Miss Qingzi has a great alcohol tolerance…”

"Because my mother drinks alcohol almost every day," said Akane Kirino. "It's a pity that alcohol can't be inherited."

"Nothing is a pity."

She thought for a while, "If you can't drink, what should you do if you inherit the Izakaya in the future?"

Zong Gu walked down, "Are you really ready to inherit?"

"I don't have this plan for the time being." She followed, "but it's hard to say what happens in the future, what if."

"Mr. Kirino and Miss Keiko can work for a few more decades."

"It's true that I say this...it's better to take it slowly."

The bright moon is a lamp, and two figures are heading down the stone path, one in front and one behind, and the distance between them is sometimes far and sometimes close.

"Does Soya still go to the shrine tomorrow?"

"Um."

"It's obvious that it's nothing to do there." Akane Kirino went to "investigate" himself during the day and had a full voice.

Zong Gu walked in front, looking at the bottom, listening to the clattering footsteps behind him, and said, "I'm not so idle."

"But tomorrow is not 'usual'."

“Scenes always change rapidly…”

The footsteps behind him stopped.

After walking two steps, Soya turned around and Akane Kirino stopped above and looked at him.

"I have something to worry about."

“…”

What you said on your own initiative is still a matter of worries?

"What's the matter?"

With the help of the moonlight, Zong Gu saw a little hesitation appearing on her face.

"Tungye..."

"——I don't know how to get along with Sonoya now."

Once he opened his mouth, it became less difficult to say the following words. Kirino Akane looked at him and continued, "Is this okay now? You should be closer."

Zong Gu was silent for a while and turned around, "Why do you think so?"

"Because someone said something strange to me."

"who."

"Yes... you didn't recognize him even after saying that. Even if I see that person again, I probably won't recognize him."

"Is that right? What did that person say to Kirino?"
