"Brother Asari--"

Suzuki Sonoko was wearing a goose yellow top with lotus leaf sleeves and light-colored cropped pants today. Even her headband was changed to a bright color of the same color, which was a bit close to the color of sunflower petals. Tsukiyama Asari looked very familiar when she first saw her.

Ah, I remember, this color is very similar to the color of Kasugawa Shugo's eyes, no wonder it looked familiar.

"Good morning, Xiaolan and Sonoko," he greeted the two with a smile, stretched out his hand to open the back door of the car, and gestured to the two of them, "Please get in, two beautiful and lovely princesses."

Suzuki Sonoko's eyes sparkled, and she pulled Mouri Ran into the back seat.

"Shinichi, and Kiri, good morning," Mouri Ran waved to the two who were already in the back seat.

Kudo Shinichi was talking to Asuka Kiri when a girl in a sky blue dress came close to him.

Maori Ran spent the night at her mother's house yesterday. In the morning, Kisaki Eri dressed her up beautifully and pinned a white daisy-shaped hairpin on her head, which matched the sky blue dress perfectly. The girl's long black hair like satin fell with her movements, and a shampoo flower scent and a little sweet milk smell were raised.

When sitting down, the girl's arm rubbed his shoulder, and the boy's face flushed instantly and he dodged to the side. Asuka Kiri, who was sitting obediently at the side, was accidentally injured by Kudo Shinichi. She silently covered her head and moved to the side.

"Sorry, sorry," Kudo Shinichi apologized absentmindedly. His eyes fell on the girl's face but were quickly moved away because of the heat. He could only raise his voice to cover up his unnaturalness, "Idiot, how can you go camping dressed like this?!"

"Huh?" Mouri Ran looked down at the soft hem of her skirt and wrinkled her eyebrows slightly, "It doesn't look good..."

Her eyes were covered with a layer of light mist, making her water blue eyes more attractive and looking very sad.

"...Well, it does look good," seeing the girl's expression of about to cry, Kudo Shinichi quickly turned his face away, "It's just that it's not convenient to camp dressed like this."

Tsukiyama was driving the car inward, and caught a glimpse of the awkward little boy in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and smiled, "That means it looks good, right ? Shinichi's ears are red."

Hearing this, Suzuki Sonoko leaned over and also saw Kudo Shinichi's red earlobes, "What? You're such an awkward guy who thinks Xiaolan is very pretty, but doesn't admit it."

After saying that, she touched Mouri Ran with her hand and joked, "Look at his ears, they're really red, Xiaowu."

Asuka Wu subconsciously looked up at Kudo Shinichi's ears, and the grayish-white color in his eyes made him realize something instantly, and then he lowered his head to look at the book in his hand.

"Do you want some juice?" Tsukiyama Asari suddenly asked. There was a large bag of snacks and handmade desserts on the passenger seat. They were not placed in the trunk with other camping supplies, so that the four children could easily take them on the road.

Eating snacks in the car would easily dirty the car, and they had just eaten breakfast. The four children shook their heads and refused.

The camping site was an hour's drive away on a low mountain. After the car was parked at the parking spot, the five people walked for more than ten minutes to reach the camping site. Because they arrived very early, they easily found a location with an excellent view by the stream and prepared to set up the tent and grill.

To be precise, Tsukiyama Asari stayed here to set up the tent, and the four children took bamboo baskets to the nearby woods to pick mushrooms and pick up some branches for burning.

"Did you bring your coats?" he asked the two girls who were about to run away with baskets.

"Ah," Suzuki Sonoko paused, "I forgot."

She remembered that she had to wear clothes that were easy to move around in when camping, but she forgot to bring her coat. Mao Lilan on the side also nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

"I knew it," Tsukiyama Asari tapped the foreheads of the two little guys with his index finger and took out two neatly stacked coats from his backpack. They were navy blue and resistant to dirt. "The colors of the clothes you are wearing are easy to get dirty, and the temperature on the mountain is a little lower. You have to wear your coats when picking mushrooms."

"Hey, is this Kirito's coat?" Mao Lilan put on the coat obediently. Because the boy had a bigger frame, the coat seemed a little loose, and the sleeves covered her hands.

"Yeah," Tsukiyama Asari squatted down and rolled up the sleeves of the two little girls to a length that would allow them to move easily.

"It seems so,"

Mao Li Ran sighed softly.

"Huh?" After rolling up his sleeves, Tsukiyama Asari was taking out the insect repellent spray from the side of his backpack and gently spraying it on the sleeves of several people.

"Asari-san is like a mother," she said blushing, remembering that Kisaki Eri would also help her tidy up her clothes when she went out.

[No male mother! 】

The person being mentioned did not respond, but smiled and pinched the girl's face, put away the insect repellent spray, "Go, do you all have watches?"

"Yes--"

"Come back before lunch time," Tsukiyama Asari also raised his hand and tapped the surface of the watch on his wrist, "Also, you must act together and can't run around without permission."

Kudo Shinichi looked at him with half-moon eyes, hey, this guy really is like a nagging mother. Thinking so in his heart, he still nodded, and walked towards the woods with the other three.

After waving goodbye to the children, Tsukiyama Asari carefully studied how to set up the tent.

[Yeah, this is very simple~]

The system looked at the drawings with him and said confidently.

[Hurry up and get started. 】

It was not difficult to set up the tent, but since there was only one person, he still spent a lot of time. By the time he had set up the grill, more than an hour had passed. The sun was already high in the sky, and the light was hot and dazzling.

Fortunately, they were now in the mountains, and the cool breeze from the river took away the heat. Yueshan put a hat on his head and picked up the fishing gear he brought with him.

[You look like a retired old cadre. ]

'I was going to retire anyway. '

What's wrong with a retired young man fishing?

After he set up his fishing rod, he tilted his head and stared at the sparkling river surface in a daze. The water near the river bank was very shallow, and the round stones washed by the current were half exposed on the water surface. He hummed a song in his mind. When he encountered a song that the system could sing, it would also hum a few lines along with Tsukiyama Asari.

Singing with electronic voices is a bit strange. He thought so, and the system that could hear his inner voice immediately retorted.

[This is called an electronic singer, and it is very popular in this world.]

'Aren't all the electronic singers here female?'

Although the system's voice has a distinct mechanical feel, it is indeed a male voice.

[The system has no gender, it's just that the program was written like this.]

After saying this, the man and the system fell into silence that was not awkward. In fact, they were already used to this way of getting along. They would chat for a few words when they remembered, and it would not be awkward to stop suddenly.

After a long time, after Tsukiyama Asari caught the second fish, the system spoke.

[Didn't you say that you should enjoy this world? I haven't seen you make friends.]

It seems that you have forgotten about this. Tsukiyama Asari heard this absent-mindedly. Since he came here, it seems that he has been learning to make desserts, managing a cafe and taking care of children. He usually goes to bookstores to read books, occasionally goes to the movies, and does his favorite handicrafts at home. Why not make friends? Asuka Kiri, who has the closest relationship with him, is actually still himself. The other aliases have good friends. To some extent, he seems to be alone.

He exhaled.

'It's all because of you. '

This world is still too small for him. He has too many fantastic stories of his own that he can't tell to the people here. Only the system has been here since he was young, when he was still young and had two vests and could play roles. If he were to understand, no one would understand him better than a bunch of data. He was also used to joking with the system. He could talk about any topic related to the past without any scruples, and the system would remember it, because it was just a bunch of data, and nothing was more solid than the memory of data.

Speaking of loneliness, it might be because there was always someone who understood him so well...data around, so he rarely had this emotion, so he would not take the initiative to socialize.

Maybe fishing really makes people think wildly. Tsukiyama Asari was trapped in a mess of thoughts, and he seemed to hear the system that could also hear his thoughts laugh.

Strange, can data also have such emotions as happiness?

I am very happy that everyone likes this novel, and I am very grateful for everyone's comments.

Because I am very socially anxious, I will be entangled for a long time and will reply later, but I will reply to everyone's comments seriously~

I wish you a happy new year!
