When Qingye Rin disappeared, he quickly bowed in her direction.

In addition to the swimming pool, there are various fitness equipment in the basement, but generally no one uses them - most rooms are equipped with small gyms. Although the equipment is not complete, it is completely sufficient for daily use.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Miss Qingye.

She loses if she touches the fitness equipment.

Walking through the fitness equipment room and passing the elevator, I heard the sound of rushing water.

Kiyono Rin walked around the wall, and his field of vision suddenly widened.

In front of him was a blue swimming pool, in which a figure was swimming hard.

The two arms are paddling in the water, and the back of the thigh is lifted out of the water. The person seems to be moving on the water. From the appearance, it looks like a butterfly spreading its wings and flying.

Rin Kiyono does not exercise, but he has enough knowledge and knows that this is a swimming method called "butterfly stroke".

The swimming speed is quite fast, faster than the girls in the swimming club she has seen who have won gold medals in competitions.

In the short period of time she could observe clearly, Toru Watanabe, who had been swimming away just now, had already swam back.

"Qingye-san, I saw a mermaid."

"lie."

"I took a quick look and found out that the mermaid is Kiyono-san."

"Still a lie."

"I mean, you look so good in this outfit."

"...This sentence is true."

After the simple conversation ended, he simply made a "wait" gesture, stared at the wall of the swimming pool, and swam out again.

Toru Watanabe's figure was strong and slender. Rin Kiyono took a look at him, turned around and left.

I went back upstairs, went to the ten-meter-high home library, picked up a book I wanted to read a second time, and returned to the living room.

Sitting on the single sofa in front of the fireplace, drinking black tea and watching.

After a while, there was the sound of footsteps and she raised her gaze.

Kujo Miki changed into home clothes and was coming downstairs.

"Where is Watanabe?" She looked around.

In Qingye Rin's eyes, that look made her look like a housewife who had lost some treasure or had no support.

Kiyono Rin looked down on her in his heart, and the relationship between the two was so bad that he didn't even want to maintain basic etiquette, so he naturally wouldn't answer her question.

The servant who had just answered her question came forward and told Miki Kujo that Toru Watanabe was swimming, and Miki Kujo focused her attention on her.

"I'm going to spend another annoying Christmas with you." Miki Kujo sat on the couch opposite her.

"If you don't like it, you can go back." She said lightly.

If they could go back, neither of them would come here.

"Unlike you, I have a very good relationship with my mother and I am a filial child."

Faced with Miki Kujo's taunt, she was about to fight back when the living room received the loudest voice since it was built.

"Everyone, I feel like I'm getting stronger again! I can beat 1.023 of me yesterday!"

The voice became clearer and louder, full of the confidence of a young man.

◇

"Everyone, I feel like I'm getting stronger again! I can beat 1.023 of me yesterday!"

"What's the fuss about?"

"You don't have to say stupid things so loudly, Watanabe-san."

As soon as Toru Watanabe entered the living room, he was scolded by Rin Kiyono and Miki Kujo.

"I'm sorry." Toru Watanabe apologizes as fast as he is strong.

He walked to the sofa and sat comfortably on the single sofa. After the exercise, his body felt a faint sense of comfort.

After resting for a while, he asked: "What to do next?"

"Wait." Qingye Rin, who had his head buried in the pages of a book, replied briefly without raising his head.

"Wait, wait for the rain to turn into snowflakes, my Christmas alone~" Toru Watanabe tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa.

Qingye Rin raised his face with admiration:

"You can insist on facing your own shortcomings. I misunderstood you, Watanabe-san. You are better than I thought."

"...Is poor singing a flaw? Please apologize to the tone-deaf people all over the world."

"You are not allowed to sing in the future." Kujo Miki said impatiently.

"Mei Ji, even you want to discriminate against me?!"

"What are you talking about? Come here."

Watanabe Toru stood up and walked over.

Kujo Miki asked him to sit on the sofa and rested her head on his knees.

"Pick my ears." She handed him the earpick in her hand and closed her eyes comfortably.

Looking at the postures of the two of them, Qingye Rin had a cold look on his face: "Please don't do such disgusting things in my living room."

"If you don't like it, you can drive me away." Kujo Miki didn't care at all.

Rin Kiyono glanced coldly at the "innocent" Toru Watanabe and buried his head in reading without saying a word.

Kujo Miki sneered disdainfully.

"Don't move!" Toru Watanabe pressed her curvy side face and inserted the earpick.

After a while, Miki Kujo changed her direction and faced Toru Watanabe's abdomen.

"You're quite energetic."

"More than being energetic, I can't stop at all."

Qingye Rin raised his face and glanced at the two of them doubtfully, wondering what they were talking about all of a sudden.

About twenty minutes later, the mothers of the two eldest ladies came back.

She was obviously a noble lady, but she was dressed just like an ordinary young woman, and she was carrying big and small bags in her hands like ordinary people.

If we met her in a shopping mall, apart from being surprised by her temperament and beauty, we would never expect that she would be the wife of a big family.

The servants came forward to help get it, but they didn't allow it.

"Miki, come and see what I bought!" Kujo's mother said happily.

It was the first time for Toru Watanabe to see Kujo's mother who looked so natural without wearing a kimono.

Wearing a gorgeous kimono, she always sits upright, with snow-white skin and her bright eyes calmly half-closed.

His smart eyes seem to see through everyone's thoughts, and only occasionally shine out when chatting with his daughter.

In contrast, although Qingye's mother looks not bad at all, her temperament is gentler. She is like an ordinary young lady who spent more than ten years leisurely and turned into an ordinary noble lady.

When Toru Watanabe faced her, there was no thought that could not be seen through and he had to be cautious.

"What did you buy?" Kujo Miki sat up.

"Snow spray, gold and silver sequins, crackers, mini Christmas tree, reindeer puppets, white cotton, lights!"

"..." Kujo Miki looked at her mother who was showing off her treasure with no meaning.

"Rin, mom is back with some shopping too, look."

Qingye Rin sighed, closed the book, and looked over.

"A tapestry with Mount Fuji, a snowman doll, and a CD of Christmas songs!"

"Um."

"And...oversized socks!"

Looking at the socks that could fit a primary school student, Rin Kiyono rubbed his forehead.

"It's not over yet!"

The two ladies looked at each other and took out a stack of red things as if surprised.

"Hey, Christmas clothes! Everyone has one!"

Qingye's mother applauded like someone paid for her, but her expression still retained the grace of a noble lady, without enough enthusiasm.

The real audience, Toru Watanabe, applauded heartily.

When Miki Kujo and Rin Kiyono looked over, Toru Watanabe put his hand down as if nothing had happened.

"Watanabe-kun," Kujo's mother took out another piece from her bag and said with a bright smile, "I have one for you too, a reindeer suit!"
