I have pure love with them

Aiyin pursed her lips, trying to accept the reality of everything, but when she thought about the possible changes in the future, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Izumi...what are you doing in your room right now?"

Looking towards the wall, she really wanted to know what Quan was thinking right now, and whether he felt the same anxiety as her.

"Although I'm wearing sportswear, there's no peculiar smell on my body..."

Grabbing the maid uniform worn by Goto Ichiri, Izumi originally thought that in such weather, Goto Ichiri's body would have a bit of sweat smell, but when he was tidying up the maid uniform she wore today, he found that it didn't seem to have as strong a smell as he imagined, but instead had a faint fragrance?

371. Aiyin: You just want to cheat on country girls, right?

"You don't look very well. It seems that a lot of things happened to you this weekend?"

After entering the classroom, looking at Hiroto Shioyama who was sitting in his seat with a somewhat depressed look on his face, Izumi stopped beside Hiroto Shioyama before he even walked to his seat, tilted his head slightly, looked at Hiroto Shioyama's depressed face, and asked casually.

Slowly raising his head and his eyes fell on Izumi's face, Hiroto Shioyama seemed to want to say something but hesitated. After staring at Izumi for a while, he sighed and retracted his gaze.

Such a dull attitude and reaction made Quan curious. He didn't know what happened this weekend that made him react like this.

"Ah, nothing much. I just stay at home and get… um, teased by the older people. That's all."

Hiroto Shioyama originally wanted to use some names that could express his dissatisfaction, but then he considered that Izumi also knew his sister. If he really used inappropriate words and his sister found out, he felt that he would not have to go home for a while.

"Is it that hard?"

Looking at Hiroto Shioyama who answered in a muffled voice, he, who had met Shioyama Ryone several times, did not feel the "rudeness" and "willfulness" that Hiroto Shioyama had always talked about from the other party. During the conversation, he felt that the other party was just average.

"..."

Hiroto Shioyama raised his head, stared at Izumi beside him, opened his mouth, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

In the end, he still said nothing, but sighed silently and lowered his head. Quan looked at Hiroto Shioyama who was so conflicted, and did not ask any further questions. He sat back in his seat quietly.

He glanced in the direction of Goto Ichiri and saw that the girl had safely arrived at the classroom and was lying on the desk with her head down as usual. Izumi silently withdrew his gaze and did not disturb the girl who was immersed in her own world.

The morning classes ended at noon. Izumi and Goto Ichiri left the classroom together and went to the library. As agreed at the weekend, Izumi began to guide Goto Ichiri's homework.

The lunch break was not long, but it was enough for Quan to give Goto Ichiri some basic guidance. Even if Goto Ichiri only remembered a little bit, it would help her grades improve dramatically.

Even though Goto Ichiri herself was not interested in these things, but thinking that if she failed, she would have to come to school for remedial lessons in this hot summer, she quickly immersed herself in Izumi's tutoring and took careful note of what he said. However, as she listened, she became dazed, and under Izumi's gaze, she fell asleep in less than half an hour.

Looking at the drowsy Goto Ichiri, Izumi, who had originally held out some hope for her, showed a helpless expression on his face. He reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, but did not make things difficult for the girl. After watching the girl fall asleep, he did not wake her up until the lunch break was over, and then went back to the classroom with her.

"..."

In the classroom, Akatsuki Kazuto glanced at the two of them calmly.

She has always been brooding over the agreement between her and Quan, and she also believes that Quan will not forget the agreement between them.

"Chihaya, spend this summer in endless regret!"

His eyes were fixed on Izumi. After staring at her for a while, Xuanji Ci retracted his gaze and lowered his head, as if he was looking at the book in front of him seriously. Izumi, who walked into the classroom, noticed the gazes directed at him for a moment.

However, he did not pay too much attention to the source of this gaze.

"Speaking of which, after she wins over Ayatsuji this time, what should I ask her to do?"

Quan returned to his seat and sat down slowly, a thoughtful look on his face. After he had made the other party sing a song and say extremely embarrassing lines, it seemed that there was nothing else he wanted the other party to do.

It was just a bet. Even if he asked for it, there was actually very limited what the other party could do.

"Forget it. I'll consider it after this is over. There's no rush."

After collecting his thoughts, Quan looked out the window and waited patiently for school to end...

"go home."

Hiroto Shioyama was packing his things, and when the school bell rang, he stood up with a look of despair and prepared to go home. Quan's eyes fell on Hiroto Shioyama, he didn't expect that the other party was so resistant to going home.

"Would you like to walk around the streets together for a bit?"

"Ok?"

It was rare for Hiroto Shioyama to hear Izumi take the initiative to invite him. After being stunned for a moment, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Izumi.

"It's really rare... You actually took the initiative to speak up. Don't you have anything to do today?"

"Ah."

Originally, he should have made an appointment with Toyokawa Shoko to continue to cultivate his sentiments in his apartment, but considering that Nagasaki Shoyo didn't seem to have anything to do today, if he let Toyokawa Shoko go to the apartment, it is very likely that the two would meet again. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not let Toyokawa Shoko go to the apartment today.

In addition, Nagasaki Soyo may not appear in the apartment immediately, so he has enough time to go shopping with Hiroto Shioyama.

Looking at Izumi in front of him, Hiroto Shioyama showed a faint smile on his face after learning that the other party had time today. He suddenly became interested and accepted Izumi's invitation. After simply tidying up his desk, he left the classroom with Izumi.

When two boys are together, they don't usually have to do anything. Sometimes, just standing together and looking at the scenery on the street will bring up a lot of messy topics. Today, Quan suddenly became interested and invited Hiroto Shioyama to go to karaoke together. After booking a private room, the two discussed with each other and started the scoring mode. The one with the lower score would accept the punishment from the one with the higher score.

Hiroto Shioyama looked full of confidence, and after the show started, he took the initiative to become the first person to sing, and ordered a song full of the sense of the times, '仮面ライダークウガ!'. Holding the microphone, he looked focused and dedicated.

"92 points!"

After finishing singing, Hiroto Shioyama looked at Izumi with a smug look on his face as if he had 'won'.

"I'm pretty good at singing, so why don't you just admit defeat?"

Quan, who was sitting, was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the other party was actually good at singing. However, facing the other party's provocation, he was not in a hurry. He slowly picked up another microphone and sang the song he ordered.

"Ah, EXCITE!"

The moment he heard the prelude, Hiroto Shioyama, who had just sat down, was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Izumi in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Izumi also chose the theme song of Kamen Rider, as if he wanted to confront him from the middle gate.

"Hey, this song is pretty difficult, I guess - Hello? Is this the original version?!"

Hiroto Shioyama, who was originally full of confidence, was stunned the moment Izumi opened his mouth. After Izumi finished singing, the score that was displayed made Hiroto Shioyama's expression stiffen.

"9...96 points."

The two sang for a full hour, but during this hour, Hiroto Shioyama never beat Izumi once. Even in the one time when the gap was the smallest, he was still 2 points behind Izumi.

The punishment for Hiroto Shioyama's defeat is -

"How old is your sister?"

"What's your sister's favorite color?"

"What's your sister's exact height?"

Listening to the questions asked by Izumi, Hiroto Shioyama, who was originally worried that Izumi would propose some extremely humiliating punishment, after a brief moment of confusion, his gaze towards Izumi gradually became subtle, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"You, are you interested in her? If you are interested in her, I can tell you any information you want. Also, it doesn't matter even if I call you 'brother-in-law' in advance~"

Faced with Hiroto Shioyama who was ready to betray his sister without hesitation, Izumi, who was sitting next to him, did not pay much attention to Hiroto Shioyama's words.

"I just couldn't think of any interesting punishment, but I didn't want to waste it, so I asked a little about your sister."

Hiroto Shioyama didn't say anything, but just smiled and showed an expression of 'I understand'.

"..."

The two stayed in the karaoke bar for about two hours. When they walked out onto the street, the western sky was already faintly lit up by an orange-red sunset glow. After saying goodbye to each other, Hiroto Shioyama returned to his home, while Izumi stood on the street and thought for a moment.

“No message was sent.”

On Line, Nagasaki Shoyo did not send a message to Izumi, saying that they would meet at the apartment. Izumi, standing alone on the street, thought for a moment and decided to go home first.

If there is nothing wrong, the Chihaya couple should have returned home. Aine, who has nothing else to do, should have returned home as well.

……

After returning home, I saw my parents sitting in the living room, but I didn't see my sister.

"Ah, Quan, you're back."

"Well, did you just get home?"

Looking at my parents sitting in the living room, both of them were still wearing black formal suits and it seemed that they had just returned home not long ago.

“We just got home not long ago. I almost got home with Aine. She went back to her room first, so we stayed in the living room to rest for a while. We have to start preparing dinner a little later… Well, I feel like going out for dinner. What do you think, Izumi?”

Seeing that both parents looked very tired, they probably didn't want to prepare dinner anymore. Quan didn't have any objection. He nodded slightly and asked what they were going to deal with.

"A distant cousin on your father's side died and you went to the funeral."

His eyes fell on his father who was silent but not showing much sadness. Izumi simply consoled him and then discussed with Mrs. Chihaya about going out for dinner. He then went upstairs to ask Aine to come downstairs and go out for dinner together.

Arriving at the door of Aine's room, Izumi knocked gently on her door.

"……what?"

Aine pushed the door open and noticed that the person standing at the door of her room was Izumi. She couldn't help but frowned and looked at him in confusion.

"We're not having dinner at home tonight. We'll go out together later so I'll let you get ready."

"Eh? Going out?"

After hearing what was said, Chihaya Aine had a confused expression on her face. She stared at Izumi for a while, and it didn't seem like he was joking with her. She glanced at the stairs again, and then retreated back into her room.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Aine getting ready to go out, Izumi also returned to his room. After making some simple preparations, he returned to the living room. After the family was ready to go out, Mr. Chihaya drove the family to a famous restaurant nearby.

"Izumi, summer vacation is coming soon, right?"

During the meal, his usually taciturn father suddenly raised his head and looked at him.

"Hmm? There's still about half a month left, what's wrong?"

Seeing that his father suddenly talked about the holidays, a confused expression appeared on Quan's face, wondering why he suddenly asked this.

"You haven't been to the countryside for a long time. If you have time during this summer break, why not go there for a while? Your grandparents miss you very much."

"what……"

After hearing his father's suggestion, Quan was slightly stunned, then after a moment of silence, he smiled and nodded.

"I see. I will find time to go and have a look, but the exact time will depend on my plans after the holiday."

"It's okay, just remember to visit the country."

After receiving the answer from his son, Mr. Chihaya had a satisfied smile on his face. As for Chihaya Aine... he felt that it would be enough for one of his children to go to the countryside to visit the elderly. If Izumi was willing, there was no need to let Aine suffer.

It couldn’t be said that she was suffering, but given her daughter’s personality, Mr. Chihaya didn’t think Aine could endure living in the countryside.

Chihaya Aine, who was originally just sitting quietly, suddenly looked at her father, then paused on her brother. She opened her mouth to say something, but after thinking for a moment, she remained silent.
