She could ignore other things, but...

Only her.

When Toyokawa Shoko stood up on the screen, Nagasaki Shoyo's expression became serious. He stared at the girl's living room and walked towards the door.

"Are you leaving?"

Turning her gaze to Quan who was sitting in the living room, the girl pursed her lips slightly.

Although he met with her after Izumi returned to Tokyo and accompanied her for an afternoon, he met with Toyokawa Shoko in the apartment the next day, which made Nagasaki Shoyo a little dissatisfied. She didn't expect Izumi to devote all his time to her, but...

Just when Nagasaki Shoyo was feeling entangled and dissatisfied about Toyokawa Shoko's affairs, Izumi on the screen slowly picked up the mobile phone, operated it for a while, then put it to his ear, and at the same time... Nagasaki Shoyo's mobile phone also rang.

"Ok?"

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was thinking about how to deal with the relationship between Izumi and Toyokawa Shoko, was surprised when he heard his phone ringing.

"Are you...calling me?"

Looking at Izumi on the screen, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed his lips slightly, looked at his mobile phone, picked it up, and answered the call from Izumi.

"Now, do you have time?"

"Now?"

There was some surprise and astonishment in her voice. On the one hand, Nagasaki Shoyo did not expect Izumi to call her at this time. On the other hand, she was a little confused as to why Izumi contacted her at this time.

"There's no band activity today, right? It happens to be a holiday, do you want to go to the Sky Tower together?"

"Eh?"

For a moment, the word "date" emerged in Nagasaki Shoyo's mind. Even though her relationship with Izumi had been basically confirmed, the number of times they went out on dates together was not very many, so that when Nagasaki Shoyo heard Izumi's invitation, she felt a sense of unreality for a moment.

"Are there any other arrangements? If so..."

"go with!"

……

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a while, when they were walking around the Sky Tower with Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi noticed that the girl seemed to be in a good mood. She held his arm all the way and took a lot of photos.

The two stayed at the Tokyo Tower until the afternoon. After watching the sunset, the girl contentedly took Izumi's hand and left the Sky Tower together.

Originally, Quan was ready to go home, but Nagasaki Shoyo invited him to her house to rest.

In terms of distance alone, the Sky Tower is located in Sumida Ward, while Izumi's family is in Setagaya, and Nagasaki Soyo's apartment in Roppongi is right in between the two. Accepting Nagasaki Soyo's invitation does not waste much of Izumi's time, and he can also send the girl back home, which is also a convenient thing for Izumi.

"Mom, she won't be back until very late today, Quan... come to my room and take a rest for a while?"

Just after entering Nagasaki's house, before Izumi had changed his shoes, Nagasaki Shoyo stopped, turned around, and looked at him with tender and dazed eyes.

"..."

Quan was not surprised by this development. When he heard Nagasaki Soyo's invitation, he had already guessed that this would be the development. He just didn't expect the girl to be so proactive.

Looking at the girl in front of him who was full of attachment and desire for him, Quan stretched out his hands and hugged her around the waist, and Nagasaki Shoyo also hugged Quan's neck and let Quan carry her back to the room...

Compared to the last time when he ran into Nagasaki Soyo's mother in the living room when he went out, this time it seemed that the other party really had something to do. Before leaving the apartment, Izumi did not wait for her to come back, and skipped the greetings to the elders. He went back home alone. When he returned home, it was not too late.

When he pushed the door open and entered the living room, he was stared at by three pairs of eyes.

"..."

Izumi, who had just returned from Nagasaki Soyo, felt a little weird for a moment when facing the gazes of her family. The atmosphere in the living room fell into silence for a moment.

"Welcome back, Quan, can I help you prepare the tableware?"

In this slightly awkward silence, it was Mrs. Chihaya who spoke first, breaking the awkward silence for her son.

Chihaya Aine raised her head and glanced at her brother, then lowered her head again and quietly enjoyed her dinner, as if she didn't want to pay attention to her brother at this time.

"No, I used it before I came back. Don't worry about me. I'm going to take a shower and go back to my room to rest."

"Ah."

After explaining the situation, Quan walked up the stairs and went back to his room under the gaze of his family. After Quan walked up the stairs, the three people in the living room looked at each other and had a silent conversation.

But perhaps because everyone already knew what was going on with Quan, no one took the initiative to talk about it. After a moment's silence, everyone continued to enjoy their dinner quietly.

Snapped--

Quan, who had already washed himself, had just returned to his room and lay down on his bed when the door was pushed open and his sister entered his room.

Looking at Aine who broke into his room, Quan also keenly noticed that she didn't seem to be in a good mood, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"what happened again?"

"nothing."

"..."

Thinking back to last night and until this morning, the two of them got along very well, but now they seemed to be in a very bad mood, which made Quan a little confused. After thinking for a while, a look of realization appeared on his face.

So, under Chihaya Aine's gaze, Izumi, who was lying on the bed, gradually moved his gaze from her face to her abdomen, which made Chihaya Aine stunned for a moment, and then narrowed her eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

"No, I wasn't really looking at anything. I was just wondering if it was your period."

"..."

Faced with Izumi's straightforward answer, Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks turned red quickly, and she stared at Izumi in embarrassment.

"Are you crazy? How can you say such... such... shameless words!"

Living with his sister, Quan was naturally aware that her menstrual period had not yet arrived. He was just a little confused about her inexplicable dissatisfaction just now.

"So, it's about me and Shuangshi?"

Since it wasn't his sister's fault, then the reason fell on Izumi. He didn't do anything today, he just met Toyokawa Shoko and went shopping with Nagasaki Shoyo. But he didn't think Aine knew about Toyokawa Shoko's affairs, so the only reason was Nagasaki Shoyo.

After hearing Izumi's question, Chihaya Aine, who was standing in the room, suddenly lost her momentum, like a child whose secrets were exposed, and her eyes became vague and unfocused.

No matter how many times I told myself in my heart that Izumi and Nagasaki Soushi were in a normal relationship, that they were lovers, and that it was normal for them to see each other often, but...

She still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"No."

The answer was short and her tone was weak. She was still as bad at lying as ever.

When Izumi was about to continue asking why the other party felt dissatisfied, Aine, who was standing in front of him, turned serious and looked deeply at Izumi who was lying on the bed.

"It's the second day since you returned to Tokyo from Gifu, right? You haven't been home for two days. You were accompanying Shuangshi before, but you are accompanying her today as well. For Quan, is it because you have invested too much time in Shuangshi?"

Having found the key point, Chihaya Aine stared at Izumi in front of her, and she suddenly became more confident.

"So, what do you think I should do?"

Facing Aine's accusations against her, Izumi threw the problem back at her, causing Chihaya Aine's expression to suddenly become subtle. Her eyes wandered for a while, and then she gave a sullen answer.

"…Just pay attention to your family, and the rest… well."

She was a little dissatisfied with the fact that Izumi was always with Nagasaki Soyo, but she couldn't stop Izumi and Nagasaki Soyo from meeting, so after a moment's silence, she could only give a vague answer.

"I understand. I will stay at home with you tomorrow."

"...I, that's not what I meant. I just want you to pay more attention to your family."

After hearing Izumi's answer, Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment, then she nodded, but did not refuse. After getting Izumi's assurance, she pursed her lips and left Izumi's room, while Izumi watched him leave and lay quietly on her bed.

"My family...ah."

After Aine finished washing her body, she entered Quan's room again and lay down on Quan's bed skillfully.

Sometimes, looking at Aine lying beside him, he would occasionally think about taking a photo of the two of them after she fell asleep. If others saw it, what would the others' reaction be, but...

"If strange rumors appear and Aine is affected, that's not what I want."

Even though there are many XPs in this society, most of them are difficult to expose, especially among students. Any "abnormality" can become a reason for being attacked.

Noticing that his sister beside him had fallen asleep, and listening to her soft and even breathing, Quan slowly opened his eyes.

At the moment, he was not sleepy yet, but he did not want to disturb Aine's rest, so at the moment, he could only lie quietly on his bed.

"..."

Looking at Aine's peaceful sleeping face, Quan's mind flashed back to the incident where a married female fan took a photo of herself in bed with a male artist while the male artist was asleep.

"Forget it, let's not do anything unnecessary."

With his eyes closed, Quan, who was a little tired, fell asleep after lying down for a while.

But not long after Izumi fell asleep, Aine, who was lying beside him, suddenly opened her eyes. Listening to the gentle breathing beside her, she opened her light grey eyes in the dark night, and slowly sat up, turning her head to look at Izumi who was sleeping beside her.

"Fell asleep……"

The sound was so gentle that it would not wake up Quan who was already asleep.

Her soft long hair slid down her shoulders. She turned her head to look at the window beside her. Outside the window was a distant and deep night sky. The bright moonlight poured into the house, but because of the angle, she could not see the bright moon hanging in the sky.

She had just had a bad dream, which woke her up in a daze.

"That's simply impossible... What on earth am I thinking... No, it's just a strange dream. It has nothing to do with reality..."

But that dream was so real, no matter whether it was happy or sad.

"It seems...I can't remember it?"

Sitting on the bed, Chihaya Aine tried hard to recall the dream, but found that she could not remember it clearly. Only the faint sadness still lingered in her heart.

Looking at Quan who was sleeping beside her, she pursed her lips.

……

"When did you wake up?"

In the morning, Quan got up, sat at the dining table, looked at Aine sitting across from him, and asked with some confusion.

This morning, when he woke up, he found that Aine was no longer in his room, but he didn't know when she left her room, so Izumi felt a little curious.

"6 point."

"Are you awake so early?"

"I had a good rest yesterday, but I couldn't sleep tonight."

Facing Izumi's question, Chihaya Aine answered calmly, and Izumi looked at the faint dark circles under Aine's eyes, and did not question her words. She lowered her head quietly and ate her breakfast.
