I have pure love with them

Goto Ichiri was lying on the ground with her hands clasped in front of her, like a dying person who had been put into a coffin in advance. In just a few seconds, countless scenes of humiliation flashed through her mind.

Ding--

The alert sound of the message startled Goto Ichiri, who was lying on the ground, but he did not dare to stand up and read the message for a long time.

"What should I do if I cause trouble to Chihaya-san and he stops talking to me? I don't know if he is satisfied with my performance today. If he thinks that my level is average, I am not qualified to play with him..."

Although she heard Chihaya Izumi say that she had just started learning guitar not long ago, her performance in the 'RiNg' recording studio today gave her the feeling that she was not a novice at all. On the contrary, it seemed like she had been self-taught in guitar for a long time. She had her father's guidance, so she could avoid many detours when learning guitar. Izumi gave her the feeling that she was a self-taught person who learned by watching those teaching videos.

As Quan had some bad habits when playing the guitar, she gave him some advice from her father. After hearing those advice, Quan quickly corrected his bad playing habits, which made Goto Ichiri marvel in his heart.

"As expected, Chihaya-kun is a genius. An ordinary person like me will surely make him lose interest in me very quickly and become a normal person again..."

Goto Ichiri, feeling depressed, felt that he had nothing to be afraid of.

I was alone before, so even if I was disliked, I just returned to my original life.

With the mentality of "dying with honor", she stretched out her hands to support her slender body, slowly spread her legs in an "M" shape, sat down at the table, picked up the mobile phone on the table, tilted her head, and looked at the dialog box on the screen with anxiety out of the corner of her eye.

"Good evening, did you get home safely?"

"..."

His tense body suddenly relaxed, Goto Ichiri seemed to be melted. He leaned on the table and let out a long sigh.

Her soft and elastic cheek was pressed against the table. She felt as if she had been moistened by a shower of rain from the sky in the dry and sultry desert. Her body and mind felt inexplicably relaxed, and her expression revealed a sense of satisfaction.

"That's great... Chihaya-san doesn't hate you, and... you're caring about me, right?"

Although he had never had any confidence in himself or the people around him, at this moment, Goto Ichiri still felt ashamed of his previous speculation.

Chihaya-san, you are so gentle.

She quickly thought about how to reply. After thinking carefully for a while, she decided to reply to the other party in a normal way.

"Yes, I'm home now."

After thinking for a while, she remembered the scene she saw in the comics, quickly flipped through the emoticon package, added a free emoticon package, and sent it out.

"This way, I shouldn't leave a gloomy impression on Chihaya-san, right?"

Looking at the reply from Goto Ichiri and the expression on the other party's face, Izumi, who had nothing important to do for the time being, lay down on her bed, leaned sideways, slowly typed text, and started chatting with Goto Ichiri.

Talking about guitar and music.

When talking about his favorite music types and bands, Goto Ichiri posted a lot of content, and seemed a little impatient, while Izumi gradually recalled some things in the past while chatting with Goto Ichiri.

"In real life...online...it seems like I haven't chatted with someone like this in a long time. It feels...really weird."

Looking at Goto Ichiri's Line avatar, a slight smile appeared on Izumi's face.

“But it doesn’t feel bad.”

The loneliness that lingered in Izumi's heart after Aine left was alleviated a lot during the conversation with Gotou Ichiri.

The two chatted for a long time, until about 10 o'clock in the evening. Feeling that it was getting late, Quan took the initiative to interrupt the chat, saying that it was getting late and they had to go to school tomorrow, so they should rest.

Goto Ichiri, who had no one to communicate with and had a lot of topics in his mind, only realized after Izumi reminded him that the two of them had been chatting for a long time.

"..."

"Good night."

Goto Ichiri typed out these words reluctantly and sent them out.

Then she stared at the screen and watched the other party read the message. After almost half an hour, without any reply, Goto Ichiri put down the phone. After the excitement subsided, fatigue surged into her heart. She slowly walked to the closet and went in to rest.

……

"Chihaya, do you like Goto-san?"

During the break between classes, Izumi took out the "Weekly Shonen Jump" that he bought on the way to school from his desk.

While he was flipping through the pages, Xishan at the table in front of him suddenly turned around and asked a question that made everyone around them lower their voices and glance at him and Xishan.

Flipping through the comic book in front of him, Quan supported his cheek with one hand, and gave the answer without raising his head.

"I love Nia, and everyone."

"what?"

The other party was stunned and failed to understand what Quan meant.

"I already said that when I introduced myself at the beginning of the school year, right?"

"what?"

"I like Princess Celestia."

"..."

Slowly raising his head and meeting Xishan's gaze, Quan still had that gentle smile on his lips, and there was no change at all because of Xishan's question.

"What about you, who do you like?"

The other party was speechless. After Quan's seemingly nonsensical question, he understood what Quan meant and apologized to Quan.

Hearing the other party's apology, Quan smiled, lowered his head, and continued reading the comic in his hand.

It seemed that he didn't take Xishan's question seriously, while the others looked at Quan who looked calm, and then looked at Goto Ichiri who was sitting quietly not far away...

For a long time afterwards, no one talked about Izumi and Goto Ichiri in the classroom.

18. Lixi, are you hiding something?

There was no sound in the class, but during the lunch gathering, Quan heard the related topic again from Xiaodou.

"Do you have a girl you like?"

"I will always love Honoka Yukishiro."

In response to Xiaodou's question, Quan gave a girl's name without any hesitation.

"Who?"

After hearing the name, Sendo Xiaodou was stunned and looked at Tokinoya Shun who was standing beside him.

"Pretty Cure."

Because his sister likes to watch anime, Tokinoya Shun is not unfamiliar with the character in this children's work.

"I'm talking about real humans."

While biting a piece of bread, Xiaodou Sendou wanted to roll up his sleeves and show his strength to Quan so that he would tell the truth. But he immediately remembered the person in front of him who was able to deal with three high school delinquents alone when he was in junior high school. He pulled down his sleeves again.

He looked at Quan with concern, wanting to get a more accurate answer from him.

“Aine.”

"That's your sister."

"Is there anything wrong with liking your sister?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Tokinoya Shun nodded slightly, acknowledging his answer.

"Damn, two winners in life with sisters."

Sendou Xiaodou bit the bread unwillingly, looked at Quan who was unwilling to talk about this topic, and tactfully changed the subject and did not continue this topic.

……

"We left together again."

After school, Izumi and Goto Ichiri left the classroom together, while Akatsuki Koto was writing the class log.

Hearing the conversation of the girls in the class, she raised her head and looked towards the back door of the classroom, but only saw Chihayazumi's back. She slowly frowned, pursed her lips lightly, and some thoughts came to her mind.

"Has entering high school made you degenerate, Chihaya Izumi?"

She originally thought that Chihaya Izumi might become her rival in high school, but now she has neither the position of class monitor nor any intention of joining the student union. Instead, she is very close to the girls in the class, which makes her feel that Izumi has given up on making progress.

'What a shame.'

Listening to the girls' speculations about their relationship, as well as the possible progress of their current relationship, Akatsuki Ci did not have any special feelings for these people immersed in gossip, and just quietly did her job as the class monitor.

Others can rest, but she must make progress.

"Is there a curfew at Goto-san's house?"

Izumi left the classroom and walked up the stairs with Goto Ichiri. Originally, she wanted to take Goto Ichiri to 'STARRY' to watch the live show, but she suddenly remembered that the live shows were usually held at night, and it would be almost midnight when the live show was over. Goto Ichiri was a girl, and it was obviously not safe for her to go home late at night.

"Hmm? Curfew... Normally you just have to get home before dark. I just happened to make it yesterday."

I don't know why Izumi asked her about the 'access control', but Goto Ichiri, who already had a good impression of Izumi in his heart, gave an answer without thinking too much.

"It seems like I won't be able to attend the Live, so should I go to yesterday's 'RiNg'?"

As expected, the answer made Izumi give up the idea of ​​taking Goto Ichiri to 'STARRY', and then asked Goto Ichiri if he wanted to go to 'RiNg'.

Faced with Izumi's invitation, Goto Ichiri hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Ah."

……

It was still the spacious and bright hall. Izumi and Goto Ichiri came to the front desk again and asked the clerk to rent a recording studio for an hour.

As for expenses, just like yesterday, Izumi was still responsible for paying for the recording studio, while Goto Ichiri was responsible for ordering drinks.

Goto Ichiri was holding the straps of his guitar bag with both hands, and noticed that the fierce-looking girl from yesterday didn't seem to be there today. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Shiina Tatsuki, wearing a 'RiNg' work suit, suddenly appear in front of him, walking out of a room that looked like an employee room.

"Lixi, two glasses of juice."

"I know... Huh? It's you again."

Shiina Riki had just walked out of the staff room and didn't pay much attention to the guests standing at the front desk. But after hearing what her senior Shinji Rinrinko said, she subconsciously glanced at the front desk and noticed that the two people standing at the front desk were the two who played "Haruhi Kage" yesterday.

"Nice to meet you again, Ms. Shiina."

Facing Shiina Riki who seemed unhappy, Izumi greeted her with a smile.

"I don't remember telling you my name, right?"

"I checked your band's account again last night, and saw the name you were addressed in the video."
