I have pure love with them

Before, she was just a child, she didn’t know anything, even if she was bullied, she could only rely on Quan, but now, she has gone through the hardships of middle school, and...

Recalling her failed study abroad experience, Chihaya Aine looked depressed and suppressed the bad memories.

'After the training of the student union, I am welcomed and loved by everyone. I am no longer the same person as before. As long as I show my proper demeanor, she will definitely feel inferior!'

Just by imagining it in her mind, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. If she hadn't been standing on the side of the road and was worried about attracting other people's attention, she would have almost wanted to laugh out loud at this moment.

When the bus arrived at the station, Chihaya Aine got on the bus and calculated the distance between herself and her grandfather's house. She couldn't help but feel excited. She didn't know how the other party would react when she appeared in front of Izumi.

"You'll be surprised, I'm sure!"

I had never talked about this matter before and asked my parents to help keep it secret.

Just imagining the surprised expression that Quan might show when he saw her, she curled up the corners of her mouth.

Sitting in the car, looking at the scenery outside the window, even though the sky was covered with dark clouds, she felt that today's weather was particularly sunny.

"so slow."

When Chihaya Aine got off at the target stop, she looked at the bus slowly leaving with a subtle expression on her face.

After taking the bus from Gifu Station, she took half an hour to reach her current location.

"Is there no other faster means of transportation? This isn't a small city, is it?"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but complain a little. She felt her butt was sore from riding these means of transportation, and walked dejectedly towards her grandfather's house in her memory.

Her original anticipation for meeting Quan had been almost worn out on the way. She now only wanted to reach her destination as soon as possible and enjoy the cool air conditioning.

'Wait for me, Izumi!'

Izumi was holding the crescent moon in her arms, and she was still dreaming. Her brows slightly furrowed, as if she had had a bad dream...

396. I have the claim of a fiancée, and you are just my sister

The doorbell rang in the house. Quan, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his sleepy eyes, frowned slightly, and looked at the girl who was still sleeping in his arms.

He tilted his head slightly and looked out the window.

"Is it morning already?"

The continuous ringing of the doorbell made Quan couldn't help rubbing his forehead. Looking at Mikazuki Yezora who was not affected at all, he picked up the clothes on the ground and slowly walked out of the room.

'who? ’

The two elderly people in the family had gone out to travel, and he didn't know anyone else in Gifu.

After thinking for a moment, he thought of Mikazuki Yozora's mother. The only person who would come to him at this time could only be her mother.

"..."

He looked down at his clothes and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his appearance. He then walked to the door, slightly adjusted his breathing rhythm, and was about to open the door when he suddenly froze.

"If it was Yezora's mother, would she ring the doorbell so impatiently?"

As doubts arose in Quan's mind, his hands had already unlocked the door and opened it. A figure that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar appeared in front of him, stunning Quan for a moment.

"Good morning, Quan. You looked so... what's with your expression last night? You looked like you weren't very happy to see me."

The moment the door opened, Aine saw Izumi. She had just greeted Izumi when she noticed that Izumi's expression when he looked at her did not seem very happy. Instead, he had a surprised expression on his face, as if asking "Why are you here?", which instantly made Aine's mood worse.

Izumi, who was standing in front of her, stared at Aine who appeared in front of him and quickly thought about the reason why she appeared in front of him.

"You came here because it's your holiday?"

It can only be said that Chihaya Aine's previous firm attitude made Izumi think that his sister would not be interested in coming, but he never expected that she would rush to Gifu on the first day after her holiday.

happy?

It can’t be said that there was none, but compared to being happy, he cared more about the three-day moon night sky in his room.

"His expression has become so strange..."

While Izumi was thinking, Chihaya Aine, who was staring at Izumi, slowly narrowed her eyes and looked at Izumi in front of her with suspicion and scrutiny. She always felt that the other party was a little guilty... ready to lie?

"You must have had a hard time on this journey. Come inside and take a rest. Come in."

Walking to the door, before his sister noticed, Izumi quickly blocked her with his body, gently kicked away Mikazuki Yozora's shoes, walked to his sister with a smile, and picked up the heavy backpack for her.

"..."

it's wired.

It was obviously a normal behavior, but in Chihaya Aine's eyes, it seemed quite strange. She stared at her brother, looked at Izumi who was walking in front of her, and slowly followed him to the living room.

"You, are you living here alone now?"

"Hmm? Grandpa and grandma just went out for a trip yesterday. I'm the only one here for now. Why do you suddenly ask this? What's wrong?"

After pouring a cup of tea for his sister, Izumi slowly walked to the opposite side of her and sat opposite Chihaya Aine. He seemed to have completely forgotten about Mikazuki Yozora upstairs and asked her with a smile.

"Since Grandpa and Grandma have already gone out, there is no reason for you to stay here, right? How about we go back together tomorrow?"

Looking at Izumi in front of her, Chihaya Aine thought for a moment, then asked Izumi tentatively.

"…Tomorrow?"

Murmuring softly, after hearing Aine's words, Izumi realized one thing, that is, he had not told her anything about Mikazuki Yozora. If Mikazuki Yozora woke up and saw her, and revealed her relationship with him, then Aine, who knew about his relationship with Nagasaki Soushi...

For a moment, the image of gunpowder exploding emerged in Quan's mind.

"Broken to pieces...?"

"No? Or...is there any special reason?"

Seeing that Izumi fell silent and did not respond quickly, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but narrow her eyes and stare at Izumi in front of her. She suddenly had the urge to turn on the video and interrogate her brother in front of her.

"There's no particular reason, but you came here today, and you're going to go back tomorrow?"

"I just came here to pick you up."

After hearing Izumi's question, Chihaya Aine pursed her lips slightly, and the strange feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.

"You...did you do something to let Shuangshi down?"

Chihaya Aine squinted her eyes tightly, placed her hands on the table, and leaned forward slightly, staring at Izumi in front of her and asked tentatively. She had already been worried when she saw the photo of him and Mikazuki Yozora before. Now seeing Izumi's reaction, her uneasiness became more and more intense.

"..."

Izumi, who was sitting opposite her, just slowly raised the corners of his mouth, but did not give a negative or affirmative answer, which made Chihaya Aine feel a chill in her heart.

Her originally doubtful expression turned into solemnity. She stared at Quan in front of her and slowly bit her lips.

"You really?"

"Please sit here for a while."

He stood up slowly and asked Aine to wait in the living room. He walked towards the stairs, which made Chihaya Aine even more uneasy. She wanted to stand up and go upstairs with Izumi, but... she was worried that she would see something she shouldn't see. She was silent for a long time, but still didn't go upstairs with Izumi.

Quan walked to the second floor, stopped, looked back at the stairs, and smiled slightly.

He thought Aine would follow him to the second floor, but now it seems that she also has some concerns...

After entering the room, Mikazuki Yozora was not lying on the bed. Instead, he had already put on his clothes and was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, watching Izumi who entered the house. He seemed to be in a slightly depressed mood. He glanced coldly at Izumi who entered the living room, and had no other reaction.

Considering that she didn't get a good rest last night, it was normal for her to feel a little bad now.

"I'm grumpy when I wake up..."

Izumi walked in front of her and glanced in the direction of the door.

"Aine is here."

"..."

Sanriku Yozora, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, couldn't help but frown, and suddenly thought of the girl who had once fought with him for the spring.

"Oh, really? What is she doing here?"

As if he had shown some interest, Mikazuki Yozora stared at Izumi.

"You said before that she had no interest in a backward and boring countryside like Gifu, right? Why did she come here all of a sudden? Could it be that she couldn't live in Tokyo without her brother who she depended on?"

Mikazuki Yozora obviously didn't have any special feelings about Chihaya Aine's arrival. She just looked at Izumi with a cold expression and asked her the purpose of her coming to Gifu this time.

"Come to think of it, I should be the only one who should be feeling uneasy at this moment."

Under the gaze of Mikazuki Yozora, Quan shrugged his shoulders lightly.

"I haven't heard her mention coming over before. This can only be considered a 'surprise attack'. She just said that she wanted to take me back to Tokyo."

"Hmm~ Let's go back to Tokyo~"

Mikazuki Yozora, who originally had a grumpy expression, smiled faintly after hearing Izumi's answer. He stared at Izumi in front of him. Even though he didn't say anything, the expression on his face looked like he was looking at an irresponsible and heartless man.

"Come to think of it, someone said at the beginning that he would only stay in Gifu for a week, right? Now that my sister is here to pick you up, you can just return to your own metropolis, how great~"

I wish her voice wasn't so rhythmic.

"Will you come back to Tokyo with me?"

Sensing Mikazuki Yozora's inner dissatisfaction, Quan invited her again, but the expression on the girl's face instantly restrained and she remained silent after Quan's questioning.

The two stayed in the room for about ten minutes before slowly returning to the living room together.

Chihaya Aine, who had already finished a glass of water, looked at Izumi who appeared from the stairs and the crescent moon night sky behind him, and she began to regret it.

"Why did I come to Gifu..."

She first glanced at the crescent moon night sky, and then Aine looked at Izumi with a cold expression and pursed her lips.

"Souyo is clearly waiting for Izumi in Tokyo... Now, what should I do... No, it's not necessarily what I thought... She just happened to be a guest here? But... How come Izumi's reaction just now is not a normal reaction of a close friend, right? "

Seeing the two of them coming into the living room and sitting down at the dining table, Chihaya Aine's eyes gradually became determined——

"Now that things have come to this, let's bury this fellow Izumi in the mountains behind Gifu!"

As long as Izumi can't go back to Tokyo, no one will know what he did to Souse, and her relationship with Nagasaki Souse will not be affected in any way. And Izumi, this guy who lacks male ethics, will receive the punishment he deserves. No matter how you think about it, it's a perfect solution!

Thinking of this, Aine looked at Izumi with a look full of murderous intent.

"Ok?"

Izumi, who sat down at the dining table, noticed that Aine’s gaze towards her seemed to become a little... extreme?
