I have pure love with them

His eyes fell on Mio's legs. Quan stretched out his hand and gently grasped Mio's fair calves. The slender calves were grasped in an instant.

"Still feeling nothing?"

"……Yes."

Mio put her hands in front of her, blocking the view of eating. She looked as cute as a little hamster. When she heard Quan's question, she lowered her head to look at her legs, and pretended not to care, and smiled at Quan.

Lifting up the pink pajamas leg, the girl's fair and tender legs came into Quan's sight. He gently held Mio's left leg and gently pinched the slightly cold but soft calf with his right hand.

"When you have nothing to do, just rub it. It can warm up your legs."

"……Um."

The girl didn't think this was any use, but in front of Quan, she still reluctantly showed a positive side and agreed.

After massaging the girl's legs for a while, Quan held her and sat her down at the low table, and began to help her with her homework.

"spring?"

The first person to return home was not Tokinoya Shun, but Tokinoya Satomi, the mother of Shun and Mio. When she entered the house and saw a boy sitting inside with his daughter in his arms, she was a little concerned, but when she saw that the person was Izumi, a smile appeared on her face.

"Long time no see, Mrs. Tokinoya, sorry to bother you."

"No, it's great that you're here. Are you tutoring Mio?"

"Well, Brother Quan has answered a lot of questions for me that I didn't understand. He also bought a lot of fruit when he came here today. Can you stay for dinner tonight?"

Mio, who was sitting in Quan's arms, saw her mother entering the house. She quickly explained Quan's efforts to her mother and invited Quan to stay for dinner.

Tokinoya Satomi looked at Izumi. Due to the hard work during this period, she had a few more wrinkles on her face, but she maintained a gentle smile and invited Izumi as well.

"Although I don't have time to prepare a sumptuous dinner, if you don't mind, Quan Jun, please stay for dinner."

"Is it okay, Brother Quan?!"

Mio, who was sitting in Quan's arms, leaned over and hooked her arms around Quan's neck, looking at him pleadingly with her eyes.

"If you don't bother me."

Faced with the two people's invitation, Quan nodded and did not refuse.

"Of course not. You and Xiaodou are the only ones willing to visit Mio right now. Thank you very much."

Tokinoya Satomi looked at Izumi with a bitter expression on her face. She expressed her gratitude to Izumi for staying, and then went to prepare dinner. After hearing what Tokinoya Satomi said, Mio's mood also became a little depressed.

She used to have some friends, but after the accident, no one came to visit her, and now... there is no one to communicate with.

Feeling the girl's depressed mood, Quan's hand fell on her head and stroked her hair, which made the girl's depressed mood slightly better. During the time of preparing dinner, Quan continued to tutor Mio's homework, and Shun also returned home during this period.

"Shun, welcome back."

At that time, Notani Shun entered the house and said "I'm back". When he heard a familiar voice, he was stunned for a moment. When he looked up, he found that Izumi was sitting in the living room, and his sister was sitting in his arms. Notani Shun was a little surprised, but then he laughed.

"Ah, I'm back. Are you here to visit Mio?"

"You already complained to me last time. What if I don't come over and lose you as a friend?"

Tokinoya Shun chuckled softly, looked at his busy mother, and handed the food he brought back from work to his mother.

Because the place where he worked was run by a friend's family, friends who knew his family's situation would often share some of the store's food with him to improve his family's meals.

"Isn't it because of me?"

Mio puffed up her cheeks at what Izumi said.

"Of course, the main reason is for the cute little Mio~"

Looking at his close friend and sister, Tokinoya Shun didn't think there was anything wrong. He smiled and helped his mother bring dinner to the table, then sat down next to the two of them.

"Mio, don't be too willful to Izumi. Izumi is also too indulgent to Mio."

38. 'God's Expectation' Toyokawa Shoko

"Mio, she doesn't have many friends, so, Izumi... please come visit her more often when you have time."

After dinner, Izumi was about to leave, and Tokinoya Shun took the initiative to follow him out. When he was seeing Izumi off, he started talking about Mio and made a request to Izumi from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course, Mio is your sister. She is also like a sister to me. I won't let her be alone."

"……Thanks."

"I'm leaving now. You should go back too. Mio is waiting for you at home."

"Well, pay attention to safety on the road."

After waving goodbye to Tokinoya Shun, Izumi turned and left.

Tokinoya Shun, who was standing at the intersection in front of the apartment, watched Izumi's figure gradually disappear from his sight before he slowly turned around and went home.

……

"When I go home at night, is there a chance that I'll find a 16-year-old beautiful girl with dazzling white hair and eyes, wearing a black skirt and white stockings on the road?"

After leaving Tokinoya's house and walking home, Izumi glanced at the street lights above his head and occasionally glanced at some dark corners on the road, expecting the plot of the light novel to happen to him, but unfortunately, there were only piles of garbage bags in the dark corners of the road.

"At this time, it should be close to noon where she is, right? When I get back later, I can contact her and see if I can video chat with her."

After leaving the bustling environment, Quan, who was walking on the way home, couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He couldn't help but think of Aine in order to alleviate the loneliness that was gradually rising in his heart.

But just as he walked forward muttering, he seemed to really meet a beautiful girl under a street lamp.

Although the other person is not necessarily 16 years old, does not have dazzling white hair, and does not wear a black skirt and white stockings, she is undoubtedly a beautiful girl, and a beautiful girl that Quan knows.

"Are you okay?"

……

Squatting outside the house, Shoko Toyokawa hugged her knees against the wall, bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with anger towards her disappointing father.

"If he continues to degenerate like that, nothing will change. Doesn't he know that?"

Although something unexpected had happened, Toyokawa Shoko was not unable to accept it. She just couldn't stand the other party's current laissez-faire and decadent attitude. She just drank at home every day. After drinking, she would get drunk and mutter to herself, and then fall into a deep sleep.

She doesn't care about failure or setbacks, but she can't stand the ugliness of giving up everything!

"Are you okay?"

Biting her lip and enduring the anger in her heart, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly saw someone stop in front of her and ask her questions out of concern.

She frowned her slender eyebrows, her heart full of anger. She slowly raised her head and just when she was about to reject the kindness of the person in front of her, or to strike up a conversation, she found a familiar face in front of her. They had met here not long ago.

"It's you?"

"Well, is Miss Toyokawa okay?"

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko, Izumi was a little surprised. He didn't expect to meet her on the road at this time.

He glanced at the house not far away, and then looked at Toyokawa Shoko squatting on the road. He didn't know if something had happened to her, but she shouldn't be the 'god-waiting' girl who was going to be picked up and taken home by him.

"It's okay... Why are you here? Did you miss your stop last time?"

Although she was wary of strangers, Toyokawa Shoko's attitude was relatively gentle towards Izumi, with whom she had met once and had some conversation, even though she was still angry about her father's affairs just now.

"I left my friend's house and was about to go home, and then I happened to run into Ms. Toyokawa again."

Looking at the boy in front of her, who was not carrying anything on him, it did look more like an accidental encounter. She pursed her lips and lowered her eyes again.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just want to be alone for a while."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko who had fallen silent, Izumi left silently without saying a word.

"..."

Listening to the footsteps going away, Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting under the street light, felt conflicted. She didn't want to go into the house, the house that smelled of alcohol, but staying outside would easily attract other people's attention.

"I am too weak. It is precisely because of my weakness that I cannot change anything. I cannot go on like this any longer."

She tried to adjust her mood and face the reality she needed to face——

The familiar sound of footsteps sounded again. She looked up and the boy who had left appeared in her sight again. He was holding a plastic bag from a convenience store in his hand and walking towards her.

"Is there anything... something?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the boy who walked up to her and squatted in front of her, and didn't understand why he came back.

A white convenience store plastic bag was placed in front of her. The boy opened the bag and took out a can of drink, red bean bread, and a bag of candy.

"I don't know what happened, but if you are in a bad mood, hot and sweet food should be able to improve your mood a little. Of course, this is my own idea. Ms. Toyokawa doesn't look very happy."

"I……"

"If it can make Ms. Toyokawa feel better, please accept it. Of course, if you don't think it's necessary... please deal with it yourself."

Without waiting for Toyokawa Shoko to answer, the other party tore open the candy's wrapper, took it out and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko was a little resistant, but inexplicably stretched out her hand.

The candy was placed in the girl's fair and delicate palm. Quan also took one, stood up, and left without looking back, leaving Toyokawa Shoko squatting there, staring blankly at the other person appearing and leaving.

Looking down at the candy in her palm, she was at a loss, not knowing what to do with it.

After a long silence, she withdrew her right hand and looked at the candy in her palm. She hesitated for a moment, then opened the candy wrapper, gently twisted the candy and put it into her mouth.

"..."

acid.

very sour!

That guy cheated on her!

Obviously it tasted very sour, but Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help laughing. Instead of spitting out the sour candy in her mouth, she took out the candy's packaging from the plastic bag and found that the name of the candy was 'Crazy Screaming Giant Sour Exploding Candy'.

"What an outrageous person."

She looked down at the other items. Everything else was normal. The drink was strawberry milk, and she could feel a warmth in her hands.

"weirdo."

She took a small sip of the milk, the sweet taste made the sourness gradually fade away. She pursed her lips, looked at the milk in her hand, and the sadness in her heart was much less.

'Is he trying to tell me... that the future will be sweet?'
