I have pure love with them

"..."

Standing in the living room, Nagasaki Souyo wanted to leave with his mother right now, but he felt an inexplicable guilty feeling in his heart. At this moment, when his mother was talking to Izumi, he did not dare to speak casually.

"Such a large apartment, is it only used occasionally?"

She whispered softly, as if she was asking Quan, or as if she was asking and answering herself, but Quan did not answer Ms. Nagasaki at this moment.

She slowly turned her eyes to her daughter and looked at Nagasaki Soyo's slightly embarrassed expression. As a mother, Ms. Nagasaki couldn't help but sigh softly in her heart, and then her eyes stayed on Izumi's face for a moment.

"……Let's go back."

Ms. Nagasaki had not expected to meet Izumi's parents, but now that she could enter Izumi's apartment and feel the attitude he showed, she was already very satisfied.

"Ok?"

However, Nagasaki Souyo, who had already prepared himself to be blamed by his mother, showed a look of surprise on his face after hearing his mother's straightforward words.

"Are you planning to stay overnight tonight?"

It was rare for her to show an indifferent expression towards her daughter, but it also gave Nagasaki Souyo a strong pressure in an instant. Under the gaze of Ms. Nagasaki, she quietly walked to her mother's side.

"Thank you for taking care of Shuangshi tonight. Now, we'll take our leave."

Ms. Nagasaki looked at her well-behaved daughter, then her eyes fell on Izumi. After a slight smile, she walked towards the door.

Under the pressure from his mother, Nagasaki Shoyo just looked at Izumi silently, and then left with his mother, leaving Izumi alone in the living room, watching the backs of the mother and daughter leaving, slowly walked to the sofa, and then leaned back and sat down on the sofa.

"... Well, it looks like I've passed the test?"

Listening to the footsteps fading away, followed by the sound of a door closing, Quan, who was lying on the sofa, closed his eyes and gently slowed down his breathing.

In his opinion, he should have at least been warned by the other party, but he did not expect that Ms. Nagasaki did not give him any warning until she left.

"It seems that I have left a very high impression on her... Maybe she noticed what Shuangshi was thinking?"

But no matter what the reason was, today's events went smoothly.

"Take a rest and go back."

He told his family that he would be back later, but he couldn't stay out all night. Last time, Aiyin had already had a lot of complaints. Before he told his family that he wanted to live outside, he still had to go home and sleep at night.

But once you tell your family that you want to live outside, the time you spend at home will decrease rapidly. Returning home without any reason will make the atmosphere at home become strange.

He also didn't think that his family would allow Aiyin to move out with him after he lived out there.

"Given Aine's personality, it's not suitable for her to live outside."

There is also mother at home who helps prepare three meals a day, cleans the house and does the laundry. Once they move out... Quan doesn't mind, but she herself may not be willing to accept it.

'Although it's not appropriate to think this way, but the failure of studying abroad can be regarded as a side confirmation of something, right?'

He grinned and chuckled. Thinking of his sister's failure in studying abroad, Quan still found it a little funny every time he thought about it.

He has no reason to move out now, and his family has given him the freedom he deserves, so he can just maintain the status quo for the time being.

……

"There's nothing wrong with being with someone you like, but at night, you should still go home, right?"

Ms. Nagasaki, who was sitting in the car and driving, looked at the road ahead and began to preach to her daughter in a flat voice.

Sometimes, there are some things that, even if you know that doing them doesn't make much sense, you still have to do them, just like the lecture to her daughter now. Ms. Nagasaki herself knows very well in her heart that she has been away from home for a long time, and even if her daughter continues to stay overnight at Quan's place, she may not know about it, but she still has to show the right attitude.

"……Um."

Facing his mother's lecture, Nagasaki Soyo knew that it was his own misconduct that led to the current situation. He did not have the courage to refute and just responded softly.

Her daughter, who had always been a well-behaved daughter, suddenly became like this. Ms. Nagasaki wanted to say something, but the moment she opened her mouth, she choked and couldn't say it.

They drove quietly like this, and after a while, she and her daughter Nagasaki Soyo returned home.

“…Don’t let temporary blindness blind your eyes.”

Before getting off the car, Ms. Nagasaki looked at Nagasaki Soyo who was about to open the door, with a complicated expression on her face, and spoke to her daughter.

From the current situation, Chihayazumi seems to be a very outstanding young man and has left a good impression in Ms. Nagasaki's heart. However, as time goes by, out of importance to her daughter, she re-examines Chihayazumi and feels that her daughter needs serious consideration.

She knew that her words would not change her daughter's current thoughts, but regardless of whether it could be changed, as a mother, she had to remind her daughter.

Nagasaki Soyo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was about to get out of the car when she heard her mother's reminder, but she stopped and looked back at her mother.

"..."

The two looked at each other, and Nagasaki Shoyo didn't know how to react for a moment. The atmosphere in the car seemed a little silent.

Without expressing any opinion on his mother's reminder, Nagasaki Soyo just silently pushed open the car door and left the car first. Ms. Nagasaki watched her daughter get out of the car, sighed helplessly in her heart, and then got out of the car.

……

"Is this the video of Quan Jun that appeared on the news?"

It was already night when Goto Ichiri returned home. After having dinner with his family who were waiting for him, he returned to his room alone, turned on his computer, and searched for all the relevant news and reports about the subway attack. He saved all the different versions of videos featuring Izumi on his computer, and watched each video repeatedly several times.

“Higaoka’s school uniform… is that Aine’s friend?”

Looking at the girl being protected by Izumi in the video, a hint of envy appeared in Goto Ichiri's eyes.

"...No, there's nothing good about encountering such a dangerous thing, right? It's better to live like this, even if life is a little monotonous, as long as it's stable enough."

But after thinking about it carefully, Goto Ichiri felt that there was no need for her to deliberately expect such a thing to happen. If such a thing really happened, she didn't think Quan would sit idly by and watch her.

"but……"

Looking at the girl who was embraced by Izumi, Goto Ichiri's eyes couldn't help but reveal envy.

"Izumi-san, what is he doing now?"

……

"What's wrong? You've been staring at me... Let me make it clear first. I went to your room yesterday because I was worried that you couldn't sleep. Today, whether you can sleep or not, I won't go to your room again."

Izumi came out of the bathroom and saw Aine sitting on the sofa in the living room, so she came to the girl's side and sat down next to her. At the same time, her eyes fell on Aine. Before Izumi could say anything, Aine, who felt Izumi's gaze, spoke first as if it was a conditioned reflex, and said with a look of resistance on her face.

Mrs. Chihaya, who was tidying up the living room, suddenly became stiff and slow in her movements after hearing her daughter's words.

"I'm much better now. I don't need to bother you tonight."

"… Really? That's great."

Hearing her brother’s answer, Aine’s expression changed slightly, and then she answered nonchalantly.

Last night, she didn't close her eyes to rest until almost 22 p.m., so she felt groggy and had no energy at all the whole day.

Even if you take a short break in school during lunch break, the rest time is too short and you still need to get enough sleep at night.

"Just now, before you came back, were you with... Shuangshi?"

Her eyes stayed on Quan's face. Facing Quan who came home late, Aine still felt a little concerned and curious in her heart. Out of concern for Quan, she wanted to know why Quan came home so late.

"Ah."

Regarding his relationship with Nagasaki Souse, he felt that Aine would not be in the mood to find out what happened in detail and just gave a simple answer. And that was indeed the case. After hearing that Izumi was suitable for Nagasaki Souse, Aine did not feel like asking any further questions. She did not even want to continue sitting with Izumi. She stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Not long after Aine entered the bathroom, Mrs. Chihaya, who was tidying up the living room, slowly raised her head and her eyes fell on Izumi.

“Yesterday…did Aine sleep in the same room with you?”

"Ah."

Izumi had already noticed that his mother was staring at him and Aine. Now that Aine had just left, she started asking about what happened last night, which was not entirely unexpected.

"She was worried that I would be frightened and unable to sleep at night, so she came to accompany me... I was indeed somewhat affected yesterday. If Aine hadn't been with me, I probably wouldn't be in such a good state today."

“Is that so… But you and Aine are no longer children, so you should still pay attention to what you should be careful of.”

After hearing Izumi's explanation, Mrs. Chihaya's expression eased and she felt relieved, but she still felt that her two children were a little too close and that she needed to draw their attention to it.

Previously, the idea of ​​letting Izumi move out and let the two children become independent appeared in Mrs. Chihaya's mind again, but when she looked at Izumi sitting on the sofa, she hesitated and still did not bring it up.

Aiyin went into the bathroom. She would not be going to his room tonight, so Quan was in no mood to stay in the living room any longer.

After sitting for a while, seeing that his mother had no intention of asking any questions, he stood up, walked towards the stairs, and returned to his room.

After entering the bedroom, he sat in front of his computer.

After leaving the living room and without my family by my side, as soon as I calmed down, I would think about what happened yesterday.

The impact was not as great as what happened yesterday, but for a while, I couldn't calm down and had no desire to rest. I could only sit in front of the computer to kill time.

"..."

After sitting in front of the computer for a while, he opened the browser and searched for news about the subway attack to see how many people noticed him in the video.

During the day at school, Quan was asked so many questions by people, which made him curious. He wondered how many people would notice his existence besides his classmates.

"It seems that quite a lot of people noticed it..."

Perhaps two people in school uniforms stood out too much among a group of office workers and adults.

It’s not that there were no other students, but because of the shooting angle, Izumi and Toyokawa Shoko were right in the center of the camera among the group, making it hard not to notice them.

"Debuting as the center?"

After staring at the video for a while, Quan couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and laughed to himself.

335. Izumi: Don’t I know how to stimulate Aine?

"The temperature is gradually getting hotter. Let's go shopping and buy some summer clothes next week."

After learning that Izumi had experienced the subway attack, Tokinoya Mion called Izumi several times in succession, asking about her safety. Considering that he had not seen the girl for a long time, Izumi came to Tokinoya's house and saw Tokinoya Mion sitting on the bed.

"Is it really okay?"

The girl's slender, white little hand fell on Quan's body. Feeling the thick touch from her palm, the girl looked at Quan worriedly.

"If anything had happened, I should be in the hospital bed now, not in front of you."

Gently holding the girl's hand, Tokinoya Mion's worried heart gradually calmed down. She bit her lips lightly and stared at Izumi in front of her. The emotions revealed in her eyes seemed a little heavy.

"The attackers were really too extreme... I watched the news and it seems that two people were seriously injured. One has died and the other is still in a coma."

Quan did not give any comments or opinions on this matter. In this era, the death penalty has long become a decoration. Even if the prisoner committed an attack with such a huge impact, in Quan's opinion, he would be imprisoned for a few years at most.

'When he returns to society, everything will be different. With a criminal record, it will be difficult for him to live a normal life again. What awaits him is social rejection... There is a high probability that he will commit a crime again.'

Obviously, he couldn't tell the girl in front of him these things. He gently held the girl's hand, looked into Mio's eyes, and smiled gently at the girl.
