I have pure love with them

Goto Ichiri's eyes fell on Izumi, and seeing Izumi stand up, she wanted to take the initiative to invite Izumi to go to 'starry' with her, but she inexplicably shrank back in her heart.

'Is it okay? I... will he agree?'

Her eyes followed Izumi's movements. Just as Goto Ichiri pursed her lips and cheered herself up in her heart, a person appeared at the door of the classroom, so that she no longer had to worry about how to invite Izumi.

"Izumi, are you okay?"

The girl who appeared at the classroom door at noon and looked for Quan alone appeared in front of everyone again, causing the students with rich thoughts to speculate about her relationship with Quan.

"Well, it's ready."

Under the gaze of Inazuki Nozomi, Izumi, who was already prepared, glanced at Shioyama Hiroto.

"Do you want to come along?"

"I... forget it today. The weather is too bad. I'd rather go home early and rest in bed."

"Lie down on the bed and look at the swimsuit photos?"

"I like J... Ahem, let's go back."

Hiroto Shioyama was about to tell everyone about his sexual fetish, but before he opened his mouth, he remembered that this was a classroom, and the remaining sense of shame stopped him. He glanced at Inazuki Nozomi at the door, then at Ayatsuji Koto and Goto Ichiri, and his eyes fell on Izumi. He sighed, reached out and gently patted Izumi's shoulder.

"Enjoy your youth, bro."

Before leaving the classroom, Izumi and Inazuki Nozomi said goodbye to Goto Ichisato who had not left yet, and then headed towards the e-sports store 'Fox One'.

Originally, there were two more people, Sendo Akato and Tokinoya Shun, but Inatsuki Nozomi had already asked them to go into the store first, and she deliberately created an environment for the two of them to be alone together. While walking on the road, Inatsuki Nozomi and Izumi each held an umbrella.

Although Inazuki Nozomi would rather stand under the same umbrella with Izumi, considering their relationship and the opinions of other people in the school, they both held an umbrella each.

"It's been a long time since we went home together like this."

"..."

After hearing what Inazuki Nozomi said, Izumi's eyes fell on the girl, and his mind began to recall when the two of them had gone home together.

'You don't even know the direction of home, right? Have you ever gone home together?'

After thinking carefully, he no longer had any memory of the two of them going home together, but looking at Inazuki Nozomi's face full of nostalgia, he remained silent.

Looking at the silent Izumi, Inazuki Momo felt that the atmosphere was a little depressing. She sighed in her heart and changed the subject.

"I haven't seen Aine for a long time. What is she doing now?"

"Huh? Joined the band."

After changing the topic, Inazuki Mochi discovered that Izumi suddenly talked more and smiled more, which made Inazuki Mochi feel complicated for a while...

"Izumi! Do you want to join the team? With you, it seems like there won't be any problem advancing to the finals! By then, we can definitely win the prize money, solve the problems in the store, and then head towards the Champions Tour!"

The manager of the e-sports store 'FOX ONE', Inatsuki Nozomi's father, Inatsuki Souta, who had been looking listless at first, suddenly became as if he had been injected with stimulants. He ran towards Izumi with shining eyes, ignoring his daughter who was standing next to Izumi, and held Izumi's hands tightly, looking like he had seen a savior.

Inatsuki Sata is very grateful to the two young men, Akato Sendo and Shun Tokinoya, who are willing to step forward, but he does not think that the two can lead the team to the end.

but!

Chihayazumi is different!

Although he is not a professional player and has never participated in any professional competitions, he has heard from his daughter and Tokinoya Shun that Izumi often crushes professional players in the game, and he has also witnessed him playing in the store twice.

Chihayazumi is here, and the e-sports store is saved!

"Dad! Wait a minute, Quan hasn't agreed to join the team yet!"

Looking at his father's excited face, Inatsuki Nozomi hurriedly explained, which made Inatsuki Souta, who was originally excited, freeze on his face instantly. He then looked at his daughter hesitantly and then at Izumi.

He seemed to be wondering why he couldn't get Quan to agree given the relationship between his daughter and Quan.

"Mr. Inazuki, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

"Ok?"

Inazuki Sata was a little surprised. After looking at his daughter, he nodded slightly.

"I want to discuss this with Uncle Inazuki alone. Please wait a moment."

Seeing that Inatsuki Nozomi was about to follow him, Izumi stretched out his hand to motion for her to stay, giving him and Inatsuki Souta some space alone. This made Inatsuki Nozomi feel a little distant in her heart, but after meeting Izumi's gaze, she hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Standing in the store lobby, Inatsuki Motoko quietly watched Izumi and Inatsuki Souta enter the store's office.

"That guy just now was Quan, right? Is he going to join the team as well?"

Just as Inatsuki Nozomi was wondering why Izumi met with her father alone, Akatsuki Sendo, who had been playing a game with Tokinoya Shun just now, took off his headphones, came to Inatsuki Nozomi and asked her.

"..."

In response to Xiaodou Sendo's question, Inazuki Momo just shook his head silently.

……

"This condition is too much... In that case, this store won't belong to me anymore, right?"

"Then, Mr. Inazuki, do you think that under the current circumstances, this hastily assembled team can successfully win the championship and win the 10 million yen prize money?"

Inazuki Souta, who was already a somewhat cowardly person, had an embarrassed expression on his face when facing a boy who was younger than himself.

"It's possible... right? Moreover, as long as you, Quan, join the team..."

"So what can I get from joining the team? Are you going to use all the bonuses to pay off your debts? The original team members left here after learning about this... Mr. Inazuki, you are also a businessman, are you willing to work for free?"

Inazuki Sata looked at the calm yet dignified young man in front of him, and couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. He felt that the temperature in the office seemed to have suddenly become a lot hotter.

"Just a little... let me think about it."

Faced with the conditions proposed by Quan, Inazuki Sata did not think that the other party was excessive, but he still had deep feelings for this store and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

"I hope she has my contact information. If she has thought it over, she can contact me at any time."

"……Um."

After hearing what Izumi said, Inatsuki Souta slowly raised his head, his expression suddenly changed. Looking at Izumi's back as he left, he rubbed his forehead.

"Everything that belongs to me...will be left to Wang from now on, and Wang...if he is with Wang and they are already dating..."

Not long after Izumi left, Inatsuki Nozomi entered the office and saw Inatsuki Souta sitting behind the desk with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Dad, what did Quan talk to you about?"

Inazuki Sata, who was thinking seriously, slowly raised his head, then looked at his daughter, frowned slightly, and said seriously -

"Wang, have you ever considered... marrying Izumi?"

……

"Hey! Bass, guitar, what's going on with you guys?"

Shiina Riki stopped what he was doing and looked sharply at Nagasaki Soyo and Chihaya Aine. There were obvious mistakes in the playing they had just done.

"Ah... sorry, I was distracted just now."

After hearing Shiina Riki's question, Chihaya Aine answered awkwardly.

"I'm also... a little rusty."

Nagasaki Shoyo didn't know why, but a warning suddenly arose in her heart, causing the rhythm of her playing to go wrong.

He looked at Chihaya Aine and found that the girl was also looking at him. When their eyes met, it seemed as if a mysterious connection arose, and they each silently withdrew their gazes.

'Does she... feel the same way?'

Shiina Riki, who originally wanted to say something, looked at the two of them and fell silent. Thinking back to the previous period of time, she felt that the current minor problems were still within an acceptable range. She pursed her lips and did not continue to blame the two.

"Then, let's start over again."

339. How can I not know what you are thinking?

"Why don't you lock the door?!"

Aine's complaints were heard from outside the door, while Quan, who was inside the bathroom, silently washed his hands, then slowly walked to the door, opened it gently, and then stepped out, his eyes fell on Aine, who was standing at the bathroom door with a blushing face.

"Because I didn't expect you to come in without knocking. Didn't you hear any noise in the bathroom?"

"..."

Aiyin, who was being stared at by Izumi, turned her head away silently, avoiding the gaze that Izumi was looking at her. There was indeed something wrong with her, but she never expected that when she was about to use the bathroom, Izumi would be there.

When the sound of Quan's footsteps began to fade away, Aine's eyes fell on her brother's leaving back, and she went into the bathroom in a depressed mood.

"Did anything happen today?"

Izumi returned to the living room, waiting for dinner. He looked at his sister who came out of the bathroom and sat down next to him. He didn't quite understand what Aine meant.

What just happened immediately came to his mind, but if the bathroom accident was brought up again, Aine, who was sitting next to him, would probably ignore him for a while, or take the initiative to talk to him.

"Being invited by a friend to join an e-sports team and participate in professional competitions, does that count?"

After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that he was invited by Inazuki Nozomi today, his eyes fell on Aine, and he answered her casually.

"Esports team? You mean the video game team? Come to think of it, you seem to be pretty good at games... Is that the one called... uh, Xiantang?"

Although Izumi herself is very interested in games, her younger sister Aine is generally not interested in them. Even when Izumi was a child, he would often invite Aine to play games together, but she never had any interest in games.

"No, it's Nozomi, Inazuki Nozomi."

"Ah...it's her..."

Aine, who knew Inazuki Nozomi, nodded as if she understood something after hearing her name from Izumi's mouth, then slowly lowered her head as if she was lost in thought.

"You agreed?"

"Why do you think so?"

After hearing what Aine said, Quan became a little curious, wondering why she had such thoughts.

"Aren't you good at games? If you join that e-sports team, you will definitely get good results in the competition, right? I remember that these competitions should have a lot of spectators, and you will become a celebrity. I can also show off to my classmates and friends, right?"

Quan was very happy to gain his sister's trust, but her ultimate goal made him feel a little helpless.

"Being a celebrity is not a good thing. Living under the spotlight every day, even small mistakes can be magnified infinitely."

“It’s a lack of confidence in oneself.”
