I have pure love with them

Quan, who was watching a medical surgery video, didn't feel anything at first when Aine entered her room. She had come to her room so many times in the past that Quan had almost gotten used to her sudden arrival, but today...

Glancing at Aine who wasn't wearing headphones, he silently paused the medical surgery video that was playing and asked Aine why she came to his room.

But Aine, who was lying on his bed, gave her answer without even raising her head.

"..."

Quan was originally wondering why she came to his room when nothing happened today. After hearing her words, a thoughtful look emerged on his face, and then the corners of his mouth slowly curled up.

"So, what should I do in the future? I'm still in school now, living at home with my family, but in the future, it won't be possible to live with my family forever, right? After living alone, this feeling will only become more and more frequent."

Having noted down the cosmetics in the beauty video, after hearing what Izumi said, the absent-minded Ai Ne gave an answer without giving it much thought.

"Izumi will also have to move out by then, right? Wouldn't it be nice for us to live together? I want to be able to taste the food that Izumi makes every day..."

Aine shifted her gaze from the screen in front of her and looked upwards, a thoughtful expression on her face.

"Oh, and snacks."

Although Izumi felt a little happy in her heart after hearing what Aine said, it couldn't hide the fact that the girl wanted to be lazy and didn't want to cook for herself.

"How long has it been since you cooked for yourself?"

"..."

In the past, when Aiyin was at home, she would help prepare meals, or if she had nothing to do, she would take the initiative to prepare dinner for the family. However, since she came back from abroad, she rarely cooked or helped in the kitchen.

"There's no point in knowing this kind of thing!"

Putting down the ipOd in her hand, the girl looked at Quan with dissatisfaction.

"So, about the future, are you sure you will go to the same university as me? If we are not in the same area, it will be difficult to live together, right? Have you thought about your future direction?"

"..."

When it comes to matters of the future, Chihaya Aine also feels a heavy pressure.

"Just aim for the best, right? Izumi is aiming for the University of Tokyo anyway, right?"

Seeing that Izumi was just staring at her quietly without saying anything, Aine silently recalled her achievements during this period. If she set her goal to study at the University of Tokyo, it would be somewhat reluctant and difficult...

"Come to think of it, I haven't paid much attention to your grades, Quan. After entering Xiuhua, are you sure your grades won't drop? Like Tokyo University... is there really no problem?"

After hearing Aine's 'doubt' about herself, a faint smile appeared on Izumi's face.

"So, do you want to bet on the next exam results?"

Ever since he made a bet with Ayatsuji Koto and felt the feeling of dominating the loser after winning, Izumi has begun to like this feeling a little.

"..."

Although Izumi was looking at her with a smile, a chill suddenly arose in Aine’s heart.

"No."

After hearing what Quan said, she refused without a second thought.

"Don't you want to consider it? If I lose the bet, I will buy you the set of cosmetics in the video just now."

"..."

Aiyin, who had just rejected him, began to waver in her heart. She pursed her soft lips and hesitated in her heart. She stared at Izumi who was sitting in front of the computer, half turning his body to look at her.

"What if I lose?"

If she wins, she can get a set of expensive cosmetics, which is indeed very attractive to Aiyin. However, considering Izumi's own performance, she can't help but hesitate. Her questioning of Izumi just now was just to remind her not to be too lax in her current school.

But in terms of performance, she has never beaten Quan since she was a child. Even if she performed exceptionally well and got full marks, she was only on par with Quan.

"Can we win?"

Looking at Quan with suspicion, she felt that she should first listen to the punishment if she lost, and then consider whether to agree to it.

Under her gaze, Quan simply picked up his phone that was on the table, unlocked it, opened the photo album, searched for a while, clicked on a photo, and raised it towards Aine.

"It's not a big deal. You don't have to spend a penny. I'll provide you with the wig and clothes. You just need to cosplay like this."

A painted character with long rainbow-colored hair that exudes a noble aura, but subtly... makes Aine feel familiar.

Unable to help but squint her eyes, she stared at the characters in the picture, carefully distinguishing them for a long time.

"…Celestia?"

Aine, who was a little unsure, looked towards Izumi’s face and then asked tentatively.

"Well, the anthropomorphic portrait I drew is pretty, isn't it?"

"..."

If you win, you get a complete set of cosmetics, and if you lose, you get to cosplay as the anthropomorphic Princess Celestia.

Under Izumi’s gaze, Aine’s heart began to struggle.

"You can also let Shuangshi accompany you."

"I agreed!"

A person may feel a little shy, but when there is another person with him/her, the shame becomes less important.

When Aine heard that Izumi could ask Nagasaki Soushi to cosplay with her, she agreed immediately.

346. As the class monitor, I have unlimited power

Sometimes, some greedy thoughts would appear in Quan's heart.

During class, Izumi, holding a pencil, sketched an image of a girl who looked like Aine, but was more gentle and mature, in the blank space of his notes.

"If there is another twin, and they become older sisters for Aine and me, how will our lives be different from now?"

His family life now is already very happy, and Quan is not dissatisfied with his current life. It's just that sometimes he has some curious thoughts in his heart, like if he was born a little later, would Aine, who has become a big sister, be the same as she is now.

"As a sister... her personality should be a little more stable than she is now, right?"

Taking advantage of his identity as her older brother and the image he had created for her since she was a child, he gradually made Aiyin dependent on him.

But if their identities were reversed and he became the younger brother...

Looking at the 'mature Aine' that he had sketched, and comparing it to the current Aine who was still very lively and didn't have much maturity and stability, Izumi sighed softly, tore off the sketch on the notebook, and then folded it up.

"I have sketched her many times before, so even if I give it to her as a gift, it won't be a surprise to her."

After folding the paper, Quan quietly put it into his pencil case, waiting to deal with it after he returned home. If he just left it on his notebook and was seen by someone who borrowed his notebook, it would inevitably cause some unnecessary discussion.

It wasn't just Hiroto Shioyama, there were many other people who would borrow notes from Izumi, especially Ichiri Goto.

Even though Quan no longer has high expectations for her, he still hopes that she can rely on her notes to make some slight progress and reach the passing line. This is Quan's last hope for her.

When Quan thought of Goto Ichiri, Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in his seat and was drowsy at the moment, suddenly raised his head, looked around the classroom with his sleepy eyes, and a confused expression appeared on his face.

"I always feel like... someone is thinking about me?"

Because she had to catch the school train, Goto Ichiri had very little rest time, especially after joining the band, her rest time was even shorter. As a result, every time she went to class at school, she would become very sleepy and close her eyes without realizing it. When she opened her eyes again, the teacher standing on the podium would often be a different person.

After she looked around the classroom and found no one looking at her, she laid back on the table, closed her eyes quietly, and continued the dream she had not finished before...

During the lunch break, Inatsuki Nozomi found Izumi again, but only invited him to have lunch together. She did not talk to him about inviting him to join the team, nor did she talk to him about the things between him and Inatsuki Souta. She did not ask about them, but just chatted with Izumi about daily matters as usual.

Even Xiaodou Sendou, who was always very casual, did not speak casually today. Seeing the slightly dull atmosphere, Quan took the initiative to chat with Xiaodou Sendou about some girls' topics, which eased the atmosphere a little.

But after finishing lunch, Izumi just stood up and left, and Inazuki Nozomi also left with Izumi. The remaining Sendo Xiaoto looked at Tokinoya Shun.

"Shun, do you think... did we hear wrongly at that time?"

"what?"

"Ten million... yen, should it be the gold coins in the game account?"

Tokinoya Shun's gaze fell on Sendo Xiaodou's face. Seeing his expression of disbelief, his reaction was more calm.

"If it's virtual coins in the game, there's no need to avoid us, right? But no matter what the situation is, it has nothing to do with us, and we don't need to worry about these things. You should think more about how we can win the game without the fountain."

"It's no use. Just withdraw from the competition."

Faced with Tokinoya Shun's sober remarks, Sendo Xiaoto seemed to wake up from his professional dream and gave a reply with a sigh.

"give up?"

"Without Izumi, how are we supposed to compete against the professional players?"

Xiaodou Sendou was well aware of his own abilities, and without Izumi joining him, he was not confident enough to think that he could play against professional players. It was not that he had not encountered those professional players in the game's ranks, but every time he was like meeting a ghost. As soon as he saw the opponent, he entered a black and white screen, and then the perspective shifted to his teammates.

Facing the disheartened Sendou Xiaodou, Tokinoya Shun was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately...

"As long as you are willing to join the team... I can do anything."

Inazuki Nozomi, who left with Izumi, once again told him her conditions. This time she was no longer shy as before. Looking at Izumi's back, she had made sufficient preparations.

He stopped and looked back at Inazuki Nozomi who was following him, a faint smile appeared on Quan's face.

"As for the invitation to join the team... forget it. Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine."

"..."

Watching Quan's gradually receding back, Daoyue Wang felt a strong sense of powerlessness all over his body. He stood there lost in thought, then bit his lip and returned to his classroom.

On the way back to the classroom, Izumi happened to meet Akatsuki Koji who was returning to the classroom from the teacher's office. She was holding a thick stack of exercise books in her arms and looked very tired. Izumi walked slowly to her and stopped.

Xuanji Ci, who had noticed Izumi a long time ago, had no intention of paying any attention to him until she saw Izumi walking straight towards her and blocking her way. Only then did she have to look up and look at the face of the boy she hated.

"Can you please make way, Chihaya-san?"

Holding a heavy load of exercise books, Xuanci Ci just wanted to get back to the classroom as soon as possible. She didn't want to cause any trouble at this time, so when facing Quan who was blocking her way, she smiled.

The fake smile made Quan's mouth corners slightly rise.

Under the gaze of Xuanji Ci, Quan reached out and took about half of the homework books in her arms, which suddenly relieved the pressure Xuanji Ci felt.

"classroom?"

"……Um."
