The itchy spot was suddenly attacked, and Chifuyu Tsukimi was like a kitten with fried fur.
After a moment of excitement, she quickly jumped out of his arms.
Fortunately, thanks to her previous lessons, her screams this time were not loud and did not attract anyone's attention.
Otherwise, the girl, who scored twice, would probably hide her face and run away.
Looking at the girl jumping away from his arms, Sasaki just smiled, said 'Sorry', and then said something like 'I bumped into you accidentally'.
As for the reason why he didn't want Chifuyu to take the initiative to hug him, it was simple.
Although Sasaki didn't know why she suddenly wanted to hug him, he knew that in their relationship, he could occasionally overstep boundaries, but Tsukimi couldn't.
If he overstepped, he could find various excuses to deal with Chifuyu Tsukimi and give her some steps to step down.
But once Chifuyu, an idiot, crosses the line, her stupid mind won't be able to find a suitable reason to excuse herself, and she might start to feel guilty about possibly doing something sorry for Takagi.
And having thoughts of guilt towards him.
The occurrence of this kind of thing is completely redundant and unnecessary for Sasaki, who has already given the choice to Takagi.
So reduce it if you can.
Although he thought Tsukimi was a fool, he never doubted her intelligence.
No matter how stupid she is, she will know that it is rare for a man and a woman to hug each other among friends.
Although holding hands is also very sensitive, could be explained away with excuses like there being a crowd or fear of getting lost, but how would one explain a hug?
Not to mention Tsukimi, even Sasaki found it difficult to find an excuse for a while.
So he clicked on her immediately.
Otherwise, when things happen, and by the time she reacts, something may happen that affects the relationship between the two.
The outcome was obviously determined, so just wait a little longer.
Sasaki didn't want to cause complications.
The idiot Tsukimi obviously didn't think much about it. After jumping away and hearing his explanation, she naturally believed it.
She just blushed a little, she actually wanted to hug Fuyumi, this... was not good.
With a warning to herself, Chifuyu Tsukimi followed the boy, who had finished shopping, out of the convenience store.
At this time, it was already sunset outside, and colorful neon lights gradually lit up on the streets.
While walking on the roadside, Sasaki took out a bottle of drink from the snack bag, unscrewed it and handed it to the idiot Tsukimi next to him.
"Here, after talking all this time, didn't you say you were thirsty?"
The little pink tongue, like the tip of a flower, flickered on the pale lips, leaving a trace of moisture.
Her little pink tongue flicked across her pale lips, leaving a trace of moisture, like a blossom's tip in a brief moment.
Looking at the drink being handed to her, Chifuyu Tsukimi squinted her eyes in delight and accepted it with glee.
The two were friends now, and accepting these things would not cause her to have any thoughts.
On the contrary, she would feel even more that Fuyumi was really good to her.
Holding the drink, Chifuyu Tsukimi raised her head slightly with squinted eyes, and drank the drink in a "gulp, gulp, gulp" motion.
Looking at her neck that was getting whiter and whiter in the hazy neon light, at the slowly swelling throat, and at the water stains overflowing from the corners of her soft mouth, the boy tilted his head slightly unnaturally.
He was afraid that if he continued to watch, he would be tempted to let this stupid drink something else.
Not noticing Sasaki's unnaturalness, Tsukimi wiped the corners of her mouth after drinking the water, and glanced at him in front of him with a slightly red face.
Although she didn't know what he was thinking.
But she noticed his gaze.
It was the first time she drank water in such an indecent manner in front of a boy.
Even though she knew he was her best friend, she couldn't help but feel shy.
But drinking like this was the most comfortable for her…
Holding the bottle with both hands, Chifuyu Tsukimi, who felt that she couldn't let her friend be thirsty or be shy by herself, turned her head and handed out the drink she had just sipped from.
'Between friends… sharing a drink from the same bottle is normal, right…'
Not knowing what this idiot Tsukimi was thinking, Sasaki looked at her, who didn't dare to look at him, but still handed the drink to him.
He took it into his hand with a smile, pretended to wipe the mouth of the bottle, and then brought it to his lips.
But before he could drink, he was stopped by someone pulling at his sleeve.
Looking sideways, he saw the girl biting her lip, her cheeks puffed out, eyes shimmering with tears, looking at him both angry and aggrieved.
Sasaki, who knew that he had teased her too much, was about to apologize, but suddenly thought of the way she didn't dare to look at him when she handed her water just now.
The thought in his mind turned slightly, he reached out and pressed her bulging bun, and explained with a smile: "Isn't it because I'm afraid that you, an idiot, will overthink it. Only very good friends share a drink from the same bottle."
After hearing his explanation, Tsukimi, who was so aggrieved that she was about to cry, sniffed and mumbled in a vague voice.
"Aren't we good, good friends?"
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Watching her little bun disappear, Sasaki looked directly into her tearful eyes. "But aren't you overthinking it? It's obviously just a bottle of water, but you don't dare to look at me."
Hearing his little complaint, the girl twisted her fingers, then raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and reached out to take the drink in Sasaki's hand.
Gulp~
Her moist cherry lips covered the edge of the bottle.
After Tsukimi took another sip of water, she handed the drink over.
Perhaps by coincidence or not, the spot she handed back to Sasaki was exactly where she had drunk from.
Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, the boy didn't tease her again this time.
Taking the drink, he lifted it to his lips and drank.
Watching him drink from the exact spot she had, even though she told herself it was okay, Chifuyu Tsukimi couldn't help but blush.
And Sasaki's words "It's so sweet" after finishing the drink made her blush like a cooked prawn.
Even though they were drinking sweetened tea, so there was nothing wrong with calling it sweet, but Chifuyu Tsukimi felt that his words "really sweet" meant something.
