Close the door and down the old stairs, Iori saw Chiho waiting in advance at the entrance of the stairs, holding the small box in his hand, looking up at him with a strange expression of a little Ai Ai.

I don't know if it was because I accidentally lost a lot of money or because of an impulse to leave the bank card that I had saved for a long time to Mr. Aiye, Shiina Iori, until he walked down the creaking old stairs, his eyes still couldn't stop being scattered.

It was not until he saw Chiho waiting in front that he could barely come back to his senses. He closed his sleeves awkwardly, and smiled embarrassedly: "Sorry... I was a little anxious in the room just now, and my methods were a little rude."

After seeing Chiho's eyes, Shiina Iori remembered that no matter what, Mr. Aiba was Chiho's biological father.

Even though I haven't seen each other for many years and have been abandoned when I was underage, the principle of being apart from relatives is always unbreakable. How can outsiders say that the friendship between family members can be accurately described?

Not to mention that he was so angry that he even gave him a mouthful. Who knows what Chiho thought now?

"Um~"

However, when Shiina Iori smiled a little embarrassedly, she saw the girl opposite him pursed her lips and shook her head, and raised her cell phone at him.

[Iori-kun did that because of protecting me.]

“…”

After hesitating for a few seconds, he scratched his face helplessly and stuck out his tongue embarrassedly.

【I didn't expect my dad to forget about my illness.】

【But it was not too surprising.】

[When I was in the sixth grade, he was still lost in the second grade teaching building!]

The slender fingers were leaping on the screen as if they were playing the piano. The expression on the girl's face seemed very relaxed, and there was no unnecessary emotion.

But Shiina Iori, for some reason, seemed to see Chiho's helpless expression that was somewhat stiff and hard under the mask of a smile.

Hard.

The fist is hard again.

After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly showed a long sigh of relief: "Ah...that's right."

"Chanho just kept looking at me with that expression, and I thought it was because he suddenly hit someone and scared you."

“It’s great not to ruin my gentle image.”

Shiina Iori pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, sighed in a serious tone, and pretended to behave as she did, and turned her head to look at the steering mirror on the telephone pole at the intersection.

Well, handsome.

"Puff~"

Seeing Iori Jun's serious expression turned to the roadside to tidy up his hairstyle, Chiho couldn't help laughing, and quickly held back, and typing on the keyboard with his fingers.

【Super deliberate! Iori Jun.】

“Is there any?”

Shiina Iori frowned and expressed doubts about Miss Chiho's evaluation.

【real!】

Aiba Chiho smiled so hard that his big eyes narrowed, and almost pressed the screen of his phone to Iori's nose.

【It looks better when I don’t take care of it!】

[Iori Jun's hairstyle is very poor! Please don't grab your hair up!]

【Just like a Super Saiyan.】

"Um?"

Iori was really anxious this time. She looked at the mirror and muttered: "No, is your hairline retreating like Vegeta?"

【That won't be...】

[No! This kind of words will be killed by Vegeta.]

Seeing Shiina Iori's anxious look, Chiho Aiba smiled happily and forgot to even type.

"Don't scare me, you."

While talking and laughing, the two of them were swaying in the slightly empty residential block of Yamagata City, chatting and laughing, as if nothing had happened in that hut just now.

When we walked to the Red Arch, the two of us who hadn't eaten anything for a morning took our food and sat in, and ordered two children's set meals.

Just waited for them to sit in the double booth and pondered for a few seconds, Chiho still raised his phone.

【Today, I really thank you Iori Jun.】

【Otherwise, I really don’t know how to face him.】

【Thank you very much.】

However, when she typed the last line of words for Iori, she scratched her face a little embarrassedly.

【In addition, I always have a thick face to bother Iori, and it doesn’t work any more, I’m really sorry.】

【After saying thank you too many times, I don’t know how to repay Iori Jun…】

Shiina Iori looked completely indifferent to this, and her tone was casual: "We are friends, it's time to help."

"And if you are ugly, you should be a cow and a horse, a valerian, and a ring will be repaid in the next life. If you are beautiful, you can only accept the reward with your body. There are two ways of action, you can choose any of Qiansui Jiang."

"I don't care."

He really didn't care much about this little reward from the outside world.

The system panel has given him enough rewards.

[Wish: Please carry my dreams]

【Progress: 45%】

[Getting-Talent: I predicted your prediction]

【Response +3】

Looking at the message popping up on the panel, Shiina Iori's eyes accidentally swept over the seemingly distant girl in front of her, and a little emotion rose inexplicably.

Iori has discovered from before that unlike Nagisa, Shino, who has a clear goal, has a wide range of applicability of Chiho's "wish".

As long as it is related to the word "dream", it can more or less improve a certain amount of progress.

But it is precisely because of the complexity that the increase is often very small.

The few Shiina Iori has seen a significant increase. The first time he helped to appease Miss Haruhino and spread songs to Chiho, and the other time... it was today.

In other words, for Miss Aiba Chiho, although nothing was revealed in her mouth, for her, seeing her again with her father who had not met for a long time... was probably her "dream"?

Or... do you want to slap the unscrupulous father who left her alone to the Northeast and ran alone to the drunken and dreamy place?

Perhaps, even Chiho himself couldn't explain it clearly.

Thinking of this, Shiina Iori looked at the girl in front of her who was strong and kept smiling from beginning to end, and it became a little complicated.

As if he noticed his naked gaze, Chiho was stunned for no reason at first, then subconsciously avoided his gaze and pretended to suck and drink the juice.

Until halfway through drinking, it seemed that Iori's gaze had inspired some memory, that she suddenly realized and raised her phone high at him again.

【That, by the way! Iori Kun.】

【How much does it cost to my dad?】

[I don’t have much working capital now, so I have to prepare to make an appointment in the recording studio. No matter how cheap it is, I have to leave some starting funds.]

【So...can it be installed?】

Speaking of this, the girl who was short of money showed a shy smile.

Looking at the girl's habitual smile with a slightly pleasing touch, Shiina Iori, who swept the subtitles, was stunned at first, and then her big hand gently covered the girl's head, rubbing it like a cat.

"Repay the money?"

"It's not that easy to meet with me!"

Gu Zi

As he said, he made a look of terrible anger and smiled unhappily: "Since I have bought you back from your father, then you must serve me well! Miss Chiho."

"I will never let you go if I don't squeeze out your last little surplus value."

Miss Chiho just smiled and did not make any rational comments on Iori's evil and crazy childish expression.

He looks like "just be happy" and lets go.

"You should cooperate with me."

[Iori herself clearly performed very well!]

"It's really totally unlovely, Miss Chiho."

【(?ω

【I'll go to the toilet first.】

"Go and go."

I have to say that it was probably because the two of them were not well-done, and Iori found that the cooperation between herself and Miss Chiho was not very good.
