I have pure love with them

This made him stunned for a moment.

"It's been a few years since we last met. I heard from Izumi that you weren't planning to come to Gifu, so why did you suddenly change your mind and come here? Are you feeling lonely and helpless without your brother?"

Mikazuki Yozora, with his arms folded, sat down and looked at Chihaya Aine opposite him. He didn't care at all that the other party was Izumi's sister. As soon as he opened his mouth, he attracted Chihaya Aine's "hatred" to himself.

"..."

Chihaya Aine was thinking about which mountain to go to, and when Mikazuki Yozora spoke, her eyes instantly turned to the other party.

"Huh? Even though we haven't seen each other for many years, you're still the same as before, making me feel annoying as soon as you open your mouth... I'm Quan's sister. There's nothing wrong with a sister meeting her brother, right? But you... why are you here?"

His eyes fell on Mikazuki Yozora, staring at the black straight-haired girl with her arms folded. She had become much prettier than before. Unlike before, even when she wore a girl's skirt, she didn't look very feminine. It was just...

After comparing their ups and downs, Chihaya Aine felt a little relieved.

"I am Quan's fiancée. It's not strange for me to appear around him at any time. But you, don't you have the strange idea of ​​marrying your own brother?"

Looking at Chihaya Aine opposite her with contempt, Mikazuki Yozora even revealed a mocking smile, which made Chihaya Aine, who was already in a bad mood, even more angry and dissatisfied. Staring at Mikazuki Yozora, she snorted and revealed a look of disdain.

"Huh? Fiancée? When was that? It was just something you decided on your own, right?"

"At least I can marry Quan, but you can only be his sister for life."

Mikazuki Yozora didn't care at all about Chihaya Aine's counterattack. He stared at Chihaya Aine in front of him and continued to attack her based on her identity as his "sister".

But Chihaya Aine had no way to refute it. She and Izumi were indeed siblings, and siblings really could not get married.

Chihaya Aine, who was trapped by Mikazuki Yozora, has completely forgotten about Nagasaki Soyo and also ignored Izumi beside Mikazuki Yozora. At this moment, Mikazuki Yozora is the only one left in her eyes!

"you--"

She stretched out her hand and tapped lightly on the table. The crisp tapping sound made Chihaya Aine, who was about to launch a personal attack on Mikazuki Yozora, suddenly sober up and look at Izumi.

"It's almost noon, Aine. You probably rushed here without having breakfast, right?"

"..."

She looked at Quan in silence, then looked at the crescent moon in the night sky. She was silent for a moment and responded softly.

"Ah."

"Well, I'll prepare lunch first. Yozora can rest in the living room. Aine, come and help me."

"..."

Chihaya Aine glanced at Mikazuki Yozora and thought that she had been traveling for a whole morning to get here, so why should Mikazuki Yozora rest while she should follow Izumi to prepare lunch.

However, there were still many questions and questions she wanted to ask Quan. After thinking for a while, she quietly followed Quan to the kitchen counter and helped prepare lunch.

"You, what are you thinking about?"

Walking to the kitchen counter, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but grit her teeth as she watched Izumi taking out ingredients from the refrigerator, and asked Izumi in a low voice.

"Thought nothing."

Facing her sister's question, Izumi's answer was very straightforward, which made Chihaya Aine silent for a moment.

"Don't you worry about anything?"

Izumi took out the ingredients, and after hearing Aine’s question, his eyes fell on Aine, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"As long as you are still worried about me, then I won't worry."

"what?"

397. Aiyin: It doesn’t have the flavor of childhood

Perhaps it was the time spent preparing dinner that calmed both of them down. During the subsequent meal, both of them remained silent and ate their dinner quietly, without any verbal confrontation.

Perhaps they understood the source of their conflict, for during their meal they would cast their gazes upon Quan from time to time.

But how could Quan himself step on an obviously high-yield landmine? Even though he was stared at by the two from time to time, he remained silent and quietly ate his lunch.

When there were only two people in the living room, there would undoubtedly be some delicate topics, but when there were three people in the living room, the entire living room was filled with an atmosphere of silence. Until after lunch, Quan was tidying up the table alone, and the two people in the living room did not have any extra communication.

"..."

Mikazuki Yozora originally wanted to stay with Izumi, otherwise if she left after seeing Chihaya Aine, she felt that it would give people the impression that she was retreating. But after sitting in the living room for a while and seeing the silent atmosphere in the living room, Mikazuki Yozora groaned, stood up, said goodbye to Izumi and left.

He planned to let Izumi solve the problem between him and Chihaya Aine first, and then ask Izumi when the time comes.

pat.

The sound of a door closing was heard, and Chihaya Aine, who was sitting in the living room, looked at her brother. With her drooped eyelids and a dull and depressed expression, it was obvious that she was very concerned about what happened to Mikazuki Yozora.

"What exactly is going on? Did you... betray me?"

Quan, who had already arranged the dishes, walked slowly into the living room. His eyes fell on his sister. Feeling his sister's suppressed dissatisfaction, he began to think in his mind.

'The hour of judgment?'

Now that Mikazuki Yozora had left and they were alone together, his sister did not come up and grab him by the collar, which showed that his reliable image had played a role at this moment.

Otherwise, based on her relationship with Nagasaki Soyo and her disagreement with Mikazuki Yozora, she should have been on the Shinkansen train back to Tokyo by now.

“This is really troublesome…”

Facing the gaze that Aine was looking at him, he moved a chair from the dining table to in front of Aine, and under the girl’s gaze, he sat down, leaning back slightly on the chair, slightly sideways, with a faint smile on his face.

"Who?"

"Do you even need to ask? Do you know who I'm talking about... If Shuangshi knew about this..."

"Why would she know that?"

"..."

Just when Chihaya Aine was about to say 'You and I already know', she vaguely remembered that Nagasaki Soushi was in Tokyo. As long as she and Izumi didn't say anything, he wouldn't know what happened in Gifu.

Although there is another Mikazuki Yozora, but... Mikazuki Yozora neither knows Nagasaki Souyo nor has any reason to go to Tokyo.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine's expression suddenly became complicated. Her eyes fell on Izumi, staring at her face. She opened her mouth, wanting to accuse Izumi of being irresponsible, but the moment she opened her mouth, she couldn't help but fell silent.

"It seems like you've figured it out, but... well, I'll explain everything here to Shuangshi in person. You don't need to feel any psychological burden. Just pretend you know nothing."

Seeing Aine in front of her, she seemed to have understood the connection and was struggling internally, but Quan did not let her feel entangled. She opened her mouth and gave an answer that surprised her. For a moment, she could not help but look up and look at Quan with an expression of disbelief.

"Huh? Tell Shuangshi?"

Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment. She didn't understand what Izumi was thinking that would make her take the initiative to tell Shuangshi about this.

"Well, so, you don't need to take the things here to heart, nor do you need to get involved in them. You just need to do your own thing."

"You...are you saying this on purpose to make me keep the things here a secret?"

Squinting her eyes and looking at Izumi in front of her, Chihaya Aine found it hard to believe that after doing such an outrageous thing, Izumi would have the courage to confess to Nagasaki Soyo.

“You don’t understand Shuangshi.”

"what?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine, who was already feeling dissatisfied, couldn't help but open her mouth to refute. However, just as she opened her mouth, Izumi, who was sitting in front of her, spoke first.

"How long do you plan to rest here?"

"...I was originally planning to go back to Tokyo with you tomorrow, but...I think it would be more appropriate to leave for Tokyo now. Have you...did you do something you shouldn't have done?"

Unable to help but bite her lip, Chihaya Aine leaned forward slightly, squinting her eyes and staring at the expression on Izumi's face in front of her.

Given her status, she shouldn't ask such a private question, but she was worried that her brother would leave problems here that would distress grandpa and grandma. Also for the sake of her own family, she had to ask Quan about this issue clearly.

"It's too hasty to go back today. You haven't been here for a long time. Take a rest here first."

However, Izumi did not give a direct answer to Chihaya Aine's question, which made Chihaya Aine's heart suddenly heavy. Recalling Mikazuki Yozora's reaction before, she frowned and looked at Izumi with an incomprehensible look.

"You haven't seen each other for many years, right? You've only been here for less than a week, why...you and her...I don't understand!"

Chihaya Aine frowned, and couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart when Mikazuki Yozora was no longer there. She didn't understand why Izumi would attack Mikazuki Yozora when she already had such a lovely lover like Nagasaki Soyo.

It was obvious that he had never been kind to girls before, which even made her wonder if her brother had a problem with his sexual orientation. But now, after entering high school, it seemed as if some great seal had been unlocked.

From the time she invited Goto Ichiri to stay at her home after she went abroad to the time she went to Nagasaki Soyo and now Mikazuki Yozora, she didn't understand why Izumi had changed so much.

Facing Chihaya Aine's doubts, Izumi, who was sitting in front of her, stared into her eyes.

Many thoughts came to his mind, but in response to his sister's answer, he only said two words:

"A lot of things have changed here, but she hasn't changed much. When I came here and met her by chance, she recognized me at first sight and was a little touched."

"..."

Staring at Izumi in front of her and listening to his unreliable answers, Chihaya Aine no longer had any interest in chatting with him. She stood up silently, picked up her luggage, and walked towards the stairs.

She had already decided to spend the night here and leave tomorrow morning to return to Tokyo.

As for the matter of Quan...

'It has nothing to do with me.'

She didn't know what Quan was thinking in his heart, but matters involving "feelings" seemed very complicated to her. Instead of worrying and being distressed about other people's affairs, she thought it would be better to let Quan handle it himself. At most, when Quan was stabbed by a woman, she would send him to the hospital for emergency treatment.

"After you die, I will remember to burn incense for you on time every year."

Watching Aine walking up the stairs and hearing her words, Izumi, who was sitting in the living room, couldn't help but think of the scene where Aine wore a plain long dress, came to her tombstone, and burned incense for herself.

"It seems... not bad?"

He stroked his chin gently. He was not opposed to such a development and even had some expectation for it.

……

Chihaya Aine didn't bring much luggage with her when she went out. She just carried her bag to the second floor, and walked on the unfamiliar yet familiar corridor, observing the rooms around her. She slowly walked to the door of Xiaoshi's room, reached out and gently pushed the door open.

A cool breeze blew on her fair cheek. She looked up and saw the air conditioner blowing cold air.

When Mikazuki Yozora walked out of the room, he did not turn off the air conditioner, so when Chihaya Aine entered the room at this moment, she did not feel warm, but instead felt extremely cool.

Chihaya Aine walked into the room, looked around the room, and her eyes stopped on the bed. She noticed that the bed seemed a little messy. She glanced towards the door and noticed that Izumi did not go upstairs with her. She put down the bag in her hand and slowly walked to the bed.

"..."

When I lifted the thin quilt, I noticed that the sheets under the quilt seemed a little dirty, with some dried stains.

Chihaya Aine didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. She held her breath silently, walked quickly to the window, opened it, and let the cold air flow out and the warm air outside the window flow into the house. She groaned, turned her head and walked out of the room.

"Room, change the sheets!"
