I have pure love with them

Izumi was still sitting in the living room, thinking about how to talk to Mikazuki Yozora about going back to Tokyo with Aine tomorrow, when he suddenly heard the voice of his younger sister and was stunned for a moment.

"Um...ah!"

Izumi, who was just wondering why Aine wanted to change the bed sheets, suddenly thought of what happened last night, then fell silent for a moment and slowly walked towards the stairs.

When he entered the room, his sister Chihaya Aine was standing by the window with her arms folded, looking at the scene outside, and she ignored Izumi who entered the room.

"..."

Quan didn't say anything to his sister who ignored him. He rolled up the sheets and quilt on the bed neatly and took off the pillowcases as well. He held them all in his arms and took them out of the room.

After Izumi left the room, Chihaya Aine slowly turned around and glanced towards the door.

"……Fool."

Just now, when she was looking out the window, she suddenly recalled some things from her childhood and the memories of her life here. However, a long time has passed now and many memories have become blurred, leaving only vague feelings.

It was precisely because of the recollection of the past that Chihaya Aine's dissatisfaction with Izumi has eased a lot.

Her eyes fell on the desk, looking at the car model on the table. She stretched out her left hand, lightly tapped the model with her tender white index finger, pressed the roof and pushed gently. She felt like she was back to her childhood, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After replacing the sheets, quilt, and pillowcases on the bed in the room, Izumi took Aine for a walk around the residence in the afternoon.

Although the girl remained silent towards Quan, the expression on her face was not as cold as it was at the beginning.

"You, don't have any intention of staying here, right?"

When they reached a stream with clear water flowing, Chihaya Aine looked at her brother.

“I’ll think about it after I retire.”

In the clear and transparent stream, you can see some small river shrimps, arching their bodies and swimming in the stream. Quan heard the question from Aine, he thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"Going back to Tokyo tomorrow?"

"Ah."

The original plan was to stay here for a week, and Quan didn't plan to stay here any longer.

"Is she... okay?"

Although she didn't like Mikazuki Yozora, when she heard that Izumi was going back tomorrow, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but become concerned and wanted to know how Izumi would say goodbye to her.

"I'm only here for a week, and she knew that from the beginning."

He had previously asked Mikazuki Yozora whether he wanted to go to Tokyo to live, and the other party had given a clear answer.

There are some things that Mikazuki Yozora is actually very clear about in her heart and does not need Quan to explain to her. The two of them also maintain a certain degree of tacit understanding.

However, the arrival of Chihaya Aine slightly affected the tacit understanding between the two.

"..."

Chihaya Aine's gaze fell on her brother. She opened her mouth, but choked back the words that were already on the tip of her tongue and groaned.

"I'm going back. You should solve your own problems."

Looking at her brother, she realized that she should give him some time to say goodbye to Mikazuki Yozora. Chihaya Aine left Izumi behind and walked home alone.

Izumi, who originally wanted to meet Mikazuki Yozora at night and say goodbye to her, was silent for a moment as he watched Aine leave. Then he sighed softly and walked towards the direction of Mikazuki’s house.

……

"You can't wear these clothes anymore, right?"

Chihaya Aine returned home and went back to her room. Feeling that the air in the house had become almost clean, she closed the window, opened the closet, and saw her childhood clothes.

She raised her hands in front of her and compared her current figure. She felt that she would probably suffocate if she wore these hours of clothes.

"They are mostly my clothes. There aren't many of Izumi's clothes."

After looking through the closet, Chihaya Aine took out a light blue children's clothing with cartoon patterns on it and held it in front of her.

"Well--"

Smell it.

"Sure enough, there is no aura like in the past when I was a child?"

398. Aine: Eey——!

"I am bored."

About an hour after Izumi left, Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, put down her cell phone and couldn't help but sigh.

She thought she could stay here for a whole day, but she had only been in Gifu for half a day when she already began to feel dull and bored. During the time when Izumi was away, she just spent her time browsing the web and watching videos.

"..."

Looking at the closet on one side, she also thought about trying on her childhood clothes to reminisce about her past.

However, she couldn't even put her hands through the sleeves of the children's clothes. As soon as she put her hands into the sleeves, she felt her whole arms were entangled and uncomfortable. She even faintly heard a slight sound of the sleeves tearing, which made her stop her actions instantly and put the clothes back into the closet as if nothing had happened.

It was really hard for her to imagine how Quan could stay here for a week. She felt it was already a miracle that she could stay here for three days alone.

'After sitting for a long time, I feel my butt is a bit sore.'

The girl stood up, stretched her body a little, walked to the window, looked at the distant hills, and let out a long sigh.

“The scenery and air are great, but… everything else feels inconvenient.”

Chihaya Aine didn't think that this place was useless, but with her current age and personality, it was difficult for her to live here. Even though the living environment was better than Tokyo, she still preferred the lively atmosphere of downtown Tokyo.

'All the friends I know are in Tokyo. This place has absolutely no appeal to me.'

She withdrew her gaze sullenly, looked around the room, and lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling with slightly empty eyes.

"When will he come back? When he comes back, can I ask him to accompany me to Nagoya?"

She no longer wanted to stay in this place. She would rather leave early and stay in Nagoya than stay in Gifu.

'A nap?'

She wanted to kill time by sleeping, but she had already rested for a while on the way and was not sleepy at all. She pursed her lips and let the cool breeze blow on her body, feeling a little annoyed.

"I am bored……"

Hey.

Da da……

Footsteps sounded from outside the room. Chihaya Aine, who was lying on the bed, pricked up her ears. She couldn't help but turn sideways and look towards the door. Her fair left leg was gently placed on her right leg, her eyes full of anticipation.

"You're back?"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer until they reached the door of the room, where they suddenly stopped. Then the door was slowly pushed open, and a light blue shirt came into Aine's sight.

The handsome boy stood quietly at the door of the room. The bright summer afternoon sunshine and wind blew on the boy's body through the gaps in the window. The short pink hair on his forehead and the corners of his clothes fluttered gently, and Aiyin, who was lying on the bed, instantly calmed her restless heart.

"He looks like a boy who only appears in TV dramas."

Youthful feeling?

A new word that she had just come across not long ago appeared in Chihaya Aine's mind. She was so bored that she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. At this moment, she wanted to rush to Izumi and hug him tightly.

"came back?"

However, her reason allowed her to maintain her proper dignity and she did not do anything rude. She just lay quietly on the bed, watching Quan who had returned home.

"Ah."

Standing at the door, looking at Aine lying on the bed, Quan slowly walked into the room and closed the door casually. Looking towards the window, he slowly walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it.

"You went out so early this morning? Aren't you sleepy?"

"I dozed off for a while on the way. Now I'm not sleepy at all. I just feel bored. There's no interest at all."

Chihaya Aine was in a depressed mood, and her voice sounded weak when she answered Izumi, which made Izumi want to reach out her hand and poke the other person's cheek to see if she would react.

But after he stretched out his hand, before he could poke Aine's tender cheek, she slapped his hand away.

"don't want……"

The voice was still weak, but full of resistance.

Hearing Aine's refusal, Quan did not provoke her. He quietly put down his hand and watched her lazy and leisurely sleeping posture.

"Is everything settled? Are you heading back to Tokyo tomorrow?"

"There are many attractions in Gifu, such as the famous Hida beef. Why don't you go and experience and taste it?"

In the past, she would definitely consider it after hearing Niu Niu's love voice, but now, she slightly raised her cheek and looked at Quan with disgust and contempt, as if she was looking at some non-burnable garbage.

This rare experience made Quan feel inexplicably comfortable, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Are you so reluctant to leave here?"

"No, I just want you to experience the local customs and culture of Gifu."

"Humanity~tsk~"

Chihaya Aine didn't believe what Izumi said at all.

"Go back, I want to go back."

Seeing his sister's firm attitude, Quan was at a loss and looked a little helpless.

"Then go back tomorrow morning?"

"Ah."

Chihaya Aine, who was already feeling somewhat tormented, gave an affirmative answer after hearing what Izumi said.

"Well, it's still early, do you want to go to some nearby attractions together?"

"…It's too hot, forget it."

She glanced at the bright sunshine outside the window. Just the walk from the station to here in the morning had made her sweat profusely. It was hard for her to imagine how many times her clothes would get wet if she took a walk in the afternoon.

"What about tonight?"

“…I’m not interested.”

Apparently, Chihaya Aine was also the type who, after traveling, would stay in the hotel until she got home.

Under Quan's gaze, she turned over slightly, then kicked her legs, and her feet in pure white cotton socks swayed in front of Quan's eyes. He subconsciously stretched out his hand and grabbed Aine's feet, and before the girl could react, his fingertips gently stroked the soles of her feet.
