Nagasaki Shoyo, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Izumi who had returned home, and quickly stood up to welcome him home.

"..."

Surprised and stunned.

His eyes slowly turned to Aine who was still sitting on the sofa beside Nagasaki Souyo.

"Welcome back."

As if she felt Izumi's gaze on her, Chihaya Aine, who had just picked up a piece of cantaloupe, slowly turned around to meet Izumi's gaze and smiled at her brother.

"Surprise~"

"..."

Faced with the surprise his sister prepared for him, he didn't know what expression to show for a moment.

After a moment's silence, he looked at Nagasaki Souyo and a smile appeared naturally on his face.

"welcome."

Then, his gaze turned to Aine.

375. Then go to Quan's room

I thought I could snuggle with my sister tonight and watch myself appear on TV programs, but I didn’t expect Aine to directly invite Nagasaki Soyo to her home.

As his expectations were shattered, looking at Nagasaki Souyo sitting on the sofa, he instantly suppressed the subtle feelings in his heart, smiled at the girl, welcomed her arrival, and looked at his mother who was preparing dinner.

It seemed that the other party was also paying attention to the situation in the living room. Noticing his eyes looking at her, Mrs. Chihaya raised her head, gave Izumi a faint smile, and blinked at Izumi, indicating that he should focus on Nagasaki Soushi and he didn't need to worry about dinner.

He felt a little strange in his heart that he and his mother had no communication but could understand each other. But he retracted his gaze and walked in front of Nagasaki Soyo. The two looked at each other slightly. Noticing a hint of hesitation in Nagasaki Soyo's eyes, he stretched out his hand and gently held Nagasaki Soyo's hand.

The warmth in the palm of his hand made Nagasaki Souyo, who was worried that his arrival would cause trouble for Izumi, stunned for a moment. He looked at Izumi in front of him with a hint of surprise.

"spring……"

Even though there were other people around, Izumi held her hand so blatantly that made Nagasaki Shoyo feel warm and touched, but at the same time, she felt nervous and uneasy inside.

Her sight couldn't help but wander, and Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on the sofa beside her, noticed the actions of the two, suppressed her dissatisfaction, and looked away. She didn't say anything to upset Izumi when her mother was at home.

He originally wanted to pour a cup of tea for Nagasaki Soushi, but he found that the fruits and tea were already prepared on the coffee table in front of the two of them, so he didn't need to worry about these things. He sat down on the sofa on the other side and asked Nagasaki Soushi why she was here.

"When I sent you the message, I thought you had already returned home."

"After finishing the band's activities, Aine suddenly talked to me about your appearance on the TV show today, and invited me to stay here overnight... Will it disturb me..."

Nagasaki Shoyo also explained the situation, then looked at Izumi, who did not look very happy, and couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's okay. He just reads books at home every day. He doesn't do anything else. Besides, he lives with me at night, so it won't affect him."

Feeling that Nagasaki Soushi's attitude towards her brother seemed a little... accommodating, Chihaya Aine suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart. She kept her eyes on the two of them and gave an answer on behalf of Izumi, then stared at Izumi for a while with a dull look in her eyes.

"……Ha ha."

After hearing what Chihaya Aine said, Nagasaki Shoyo, who had already prepared herself mentally, still felt a little disappointed. Compared to living in the same room with Chihaya Aine, she hoped to be with Izumi, but...

Considering that Quan's parents were also at home, even if the two had confirmed their relationship, it would not be easy to show it in front of his parents. Nagasaki Shoyo felt disappointed, but he could only force a smile and agreed.

With her gaze fixed on Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo gradually lowered her eyes. As Izumi's mother was not far away, she didn't want to show too much intimacy to Izumi, so she chatted with Chihaya Aine beside her about some things in the band and some things about school.

Quan didn't feel left out. Seeing the two people having a pleasant conversation, he slowly looked at his mobile phone, then looked at the messages on the forum. He sent a message to Hiroto Shioyama when he had nothing to do.

[Are you still alive?]

[Well, I can still breathe.]

Not long after the message was sent, Hiroto Shioyama replied. The two chatted for a while, and Hiroto Shioyama invited Izumi to play games with him, but after taking a look at the two girls sitting opposite him, he rejected Hiroto Shioyama's invitation.

[Forget about it today, I don’t have much time, and I have guests coming to my house and need to entertain them]

[……]

Hiroto Shioyama seemed speechless for a moment at Izumi's answer. He didn't understand how Izumi could have time to chat with him even though he was entertaining guests.

[Will you watch today's show?]

[If I hadn’t fallen asleep, I might have taken a look.]

Compared to Izumi, Hiroto Shioyama is not very interested in programs in which he may not have many shots. If he is not asleep when the program is broadcast, he doesn't mind watching it, but if he falls asleep, he feels that there is no need to force himself.

While the two were chatting, their father, who was working away from home, returned home, and Chihaya Aine took the initiative to explain the situation to her father.

"..."

Glancing at Izumi, Mr. Chihaya nodded slightly, then walked to the dining table and sat down.

After dinner was ready, everyone sat at the dining table together. Nagasaki Soushi and Chihaya Aine sat together, while Izumi sat alone in the middle, with his parents on the other side. After the five of them had dinner together at the table, the task of entertaining Nagasaki Soushi was handed over to Chihaya Aine, and the two left the living room together. Before leaving the living room, Izumi was stopped by her father.

"What is your relationship with that girl?"

"We are dating."

Mr. Chihaya's eyes fell on Izumi. After staring at him for a while, he subconsciously reached out to take out the cigarette case from his body, but after touching it, he stopped and looked at his son in front of him. He was silent for a moment.

"If your living expenses are not enough, you can tell me."

At the same time, he took out his wallet, took out two large-denomination banknotes from it, and handed them to Quan.

"..."

Faced with his father's kindness, Quan did not refuse and accepted it silently.

"You should pay attention to the things you should pay attention to."

Reaching out and gently patting Quan's shoulder, the man left, leaving Quan looking at the other's back as he left. Quan felt the longing for grandchildren from his back.

Looking down at the living expenses in his hand, he silently put it into his wallet and then walked towards his room.

Before entering his own room, Quan glanced towards Aine's room. The two should be in Aine's room now. He didn't know what they would talk about. Also... he didn't know if Ms. Nagasaki knew what was going on here.

With confused thoughts, Quan entered his room.

……

"Before elementary school, did you all sleep in the same room?"

Sitting in Chihaya Aine's room, Nagasaki Shoyo talked to Chihaya Aine again about Izumi, especially about Izumi's childhood.

Although Chihaya Aine really wanted to attribute some of Izumi's childhood experiences to herself, she felt that there was a high possibility of being exposed, so she told the truth about her and her brother's childhood, but omitted some of the not-so-good aspects of herself.

Seeing that Nagasaki Soushi seemed interested in her and Izumi's childhood, Chihaya Aine also started chatting with them, until the topic turned to the time when she and Izumi lived together as children.

"Well... I didn't care much about it before junior high school, but after entering junior high school, I felt that it was a little strange for me and Izumi to live in the same room, so I talked about it with my parents, and the two of us had separate rooms... But, we still stay in each other's room for a while from time to time."

As for sleeping in each other's room, even though Chihaya Aine felt that she and Izumi had a purely family relationship, it was not a good idea to talk about this matter in front of others, especially since the relationship between Nagasaki Shoyo and Izumi was complicated. She was worried that her words would cause Nagasaki Shoyo to misunderstand, so she concealed it.

"Izumi, will he come to your room?"

"No, not very often. At least not as often as I go to his room. But every time I go to his room, he is sitting alone in front of the computer, watching something that is beyond the scope of high school."

Sighing, thinking of her brother's excellence, Chihaya Aine felt a little complaining in her heart, but it was not easy to tell others. She could only reveal a little bit when communicating with Nagasaki Souyo.

After hearing what Chihaya Aine said, a thoughtful look appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face, and then he started talking about tonight's show.

"It's going to be broadcast soon, right? Should we ask Quan to come along? He'd be lonely if he's left alone in the room, right?"

After arriving at Chihaya's house, Nagasaki Soushi's main purpose was to improve her relationship with Izumi, so before the show was broadcast, she took the initiative to suggest inviting Izumi to watch the show together.

"Well, you can call me over. Then, I'll go--"

"I'll go! I know his room."

Before Chihaya Aion finished her words, Nagasaki Shoyo volunteered to stand up and smiled at Chihaya Aion, which made Chihaya Aion stunned for a moment.

Seeing Nagasaki Soyo who had already stood up, Chihaya Aine hesitated for a moment, but still did not compete with Nagasaki Soyo. She nodded and asked her to call Izumi over. It was not until Nagasaki Soyo left the room that she, who was sitting in the room, vaguely thought that she seemed to be able to go to Izumi's room with Nagasaki Soyo, and then stay in Izumi's room to watch the show.

"Izumi's computer screen is also quite large. With a little adjustment, the three of us can sit on the bed and watch..."

Chihaya Aine, who was sitting in the room, felt a little conflicted. After looking around her room for a while, she picked up a thin blanket and left her room.

"spring?"

Nagasaki Shoyo had just knocked on Izumi's door and entered Izumi's room. She opened her mouth to talk to Izumi about going to Chihaya Aine's room, but before she could open her mouth, she heard hurried footsteps at the door, which made her turn around and look behind her.

The girl entered Izumi's room holding her blanket, and saw Izumi sitting in front of the computer and Nagasaki Soyo standing at the door.

"Well, I thought about it. Since Quan's screen is bigger, why not just watch the show in his room?"

"..."

Izumi, who was sitting in her room, looked towards Aine, his gaze stayed on her for a moment, then he looked at Nagasaki Soushi who was beside her.

"Just adjust the direction slightly, will that be all right?"

After pointing at Izumi's computer screen, Chihaya Aine looked into Izumi's eyes and gave her suggestions.

"Yes, yes..."

After taking a glance at his computer screen and his bed, Quan understood what Aine meant, and then thought about it and decided that it wouldn't be a big problem for three people to sit on his bed.

He looked down at the current time and found that the broadcast time was not far away, so he silently adjusted the direction of the screen. Chihaya Aine pulled Nagasaki Soyo and sat on his bed, taking the first place to occupy a good position to watch the show.

By the time Quan adjusted the direction of the screen, the two girls were already sitting on his bed, hugging their knees, waiting for the show to begin.

"..."

Watching the two people's actions, Quan held his mouse, clicked on the TV station where the program was broadcast, and waited quietly.

"Quan, sit here too?"

Seeing that Izumi was holding his chair and seemed ready to sit aside to watch the show, Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help but invite Izumi to sit on the bed and watch together. Chihaya Aine, who was beside her, glanced at her subtly but didn't say anything to stop her.

For her, just letting Izumi sit on the same bed with her was not a special thing. It was completely within the acceptable range. It was more like a very normal thing. However, Chihaya Aine felt a little complicated about Nagasaki Shoyo's initiative towards Izumi.

Although with her and everyone else's efforts, Nagasaki Soyo returned to the band, Nagasaki Soyo's personality in the band was not as gentle as it was at the beginning, and he would occasionally show some tough attitudes.

but……

So far, she has found that Nagasaki Soushi has never shown any toughness in front of her brother, but always considers Izumi.

"Is this a woman in love? Does Shuangshi like Quan too much?"

The contrast between impression and reality made Chihaya Aine fall into confusion. She sat on the bed, not saying a word, but observing the interaction between Izumi and Nagasaki Soyo.
