158 158 Consultation (1/2)

Five days after meeting a fatherly man at midday.

I was careful if I could see him when I went out, but worried about him, he hasn't even let Zhou Da's shadow dazzle me so far.

Perhaps, then, but he came to see me at midday or to see how things were going, and eventually hesitated to look at me. Otherwise, you should come and talk to me.

I asked him at midday, but he never contacted me or met me face to face, so maybe he doesn't intend to meet me at midday right now.

”... I'm not sure.”

I don't even know the behavior of coming to see you, but Zhou's indescribable indissolubility remains lumpy because he doesn't know the motive.

There is no reason to step too far in, so nothing can be done from here unless the other person comes into contact.

”What's going on?

”A little troubling.”

It's what I groaned as I watched the tree homework that came all the way to Zhou's house with my summer homework, so the tree listens and looks strange.

”It's unusual for Zhou to worry so much in his mouth... which your brother will listen to”

”What do you say to habits you were born after me?”

”Details are fine. There you go.”

Apparently he's tired of doing his homework.

He's throwing a seedy sharpener at his desk, turning his body over here and pounding his chest. I'll take care of it, I guess.

(... what's wrong)

You can't tell a boulder about a midday family situation. No matter how close you may be to being your best friend, you shouldn't talk about what you decided would be secret at midday.

If this were Zhou's secret, it might have been revealed, but it was only midday and not Zhou's. It was unlikely that the means could be used to convey it without covering it up.

Or it's not something that worries me alone or gives me an answer.

Zhou closes his lips for a little while, then opens his mouth while choosing words in his brain.

”What do you think the other person is thinking about as a sudden attempt to come into contact with a person who has previously refused to engage from the other side?

”Is that about Zhou?

”No Comments”

”Hmm. Fair enough.”

I got a subtle look at Zhou's remarks, but the tree never pursues them in depth, just takes the word and becomes a thought face.
