I have pure love with them

After hearing Izumi's answer, Chihaya Aine was a little confused and wanted to ask her brother why he felt lonely, but when the words came to her lips, she choked back.

Hazily, she recalled the time she spent abroad. At that time, she felt extremely lonely and isolated.

In her eyes, Quan always maintained a calm image, and she rarely saw him have drastic emotional ups and downs. But after hearing Quan's answer at this moment, she vaguely realized that her brother was just an outstanding ordinary person.

"Izumi... He is a normal person, so it's natural for him to feel lonely... Why didn't I notice this before?"

Perhaps she noticed it but didn't take it to heart. But now in the quiet night, after hearing Quan's words, she felt the same way for a moment.

After a moment of silence, she slightly turned sideways, put her hand on Quan, and gently hugged Quan.

"now what?"

A slender arm gently fell on his body, which made Izumi stunned. He didn't expect Aine to react like this, which surprised Izumi who gave a casual answer.

“I feel like I have a good sister.”

After a moment's silence, Quan gave his answer with a faint smile.

Feeling praised, Aine couldn’t help but smile, and she hummed softly with a little satisfaction in her heart.

She wanted to take this opportunity to ask her brother for something, but sleepiness gradually overwhelmed her, making her thoughts increasingly confused. She fell into a daze and could not think of any requests. She hugged Quan as if he were a bigger doll and whispered good night to him.

"..."

The soft voice made Quan realize that his sister was sleepy. He hummed softly and closed his eyes.

After leaving Tokyo, he didn't have many opportunities to be alone with Aine like this. When they were in a group of girls, he didn't think Aine would act close to him in front of outsiders.

'Speaking of...'

When everyone except him is a girl, it seems like he is easily excluded?

'One is a 4-member band, the other is a 5-member band, there will always be extra people, let's take a break first.'

When being hugged by Aine, Quan felt as if he was being controlled. He felt that he couldn't move around, for fear that if he moved, he would disturb the other person's rest.

"...That's it."

When he just closed his eyes to rest, he felt a little uncomfortable, but after falling asleep, he didn't care so much. Moreover, both of them had a relatively elegant sleeping posture. When Izumi opened his eyes the next day, only one of Aine's legs was placed on his waist, and there was nothing else wrong.

After waking up, Quan was not in a hurry to wake her up, but looked at the current time first.

He and both parties agreed to meet at Tokyo Station at 9 am.

'7:04'

After taking a look at the current time, Quan reached out and gently rubbed his forehead, then slowly turned his head to look at his sister who was still sleeping beside him, and reached out and gently poked her fair and tender cheek.

no response.

He pointed his index finger at her lips and then quickly moved her lips up and down, causing the sleeping girl to frown and open her sleepy eyes.

"……Um?"

The girl who was woken up by Quan was still a little grumpy.

"It's 7 o'clock."

These words made the girl, who was still immersed in dreams with sleepy eyes, open her eyes wide instantly. Under Quan's gaze, she quickly lifted the quilt. Under Quan's gaze, before she could even stand firmly, she staggered to put on her shoes and rushed out of his bedroom at a high speed.

When Quan walked out of the bedroom, the girl was washing up, so he went downstairs first and took a look in the living room. He found two breakfasts on the table, and he and Aine's mother were watching TV quietly.

"You're already up. Are you going out soon?"

Mrs. Chihaya had no objection to her daughter's traveling. After all, they were not traveling alone. If there were other people traveling with them, Mrs. Chihaya would only ask them to pay more attention to safety.

"She's washing up and will be out around 8 o'clock."

"I'll be away for a week. During this time, you must take care of your own and Aine's safety. If anything happens, remember to contact me in time."

These were all Mrs. Chihaya needed to tell her child who was about to go out, after a brief summary.

"Ah."

Hearing his family's instructions, Quan nodded slightly.

After Aine finished washing up and came to the living room, Mrs. Chihaya gave her instructions again, but compared to when she gave instructions to Izumi, there were more contents, which made Aine, who noticed Izumi's observation, look a little embarrassed and helpless...

"I've already been abroad alone, and I have experience traveling abroad, so why do you need to tell me so many things to be careful of?"

Aine, who was sitting on the subway with her suitcase, couldn't help but complain to Izumi who was sitting next to her.

"When you have children, you will become like this."

"I'm just a high school student now. Is something like having a child a little too far away for me?"

Looking at Quan beside her, she, who has never been in a relationship, heard Quan suddenly discussing "children" with her. She felt that her brother would occasionally say some unrealistic things.

"It's you who should be more careful about safety and not get pregnant too early, right?"

After complaining, she followed Quan's topic and reminded Quan in return.

But just as she finished speaking, before Quan could answer, she frowned, as if she didn't like this topic very much, and suddenly turned her eyes away from Quan.

"Have they gone out yet?"

"Well, I contacted them before leaving. They are basically on their way. Yili should be here soon."

"I remember she lived outside the district center, right?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Aine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking of what Izumi had talked about with her before.

"It takes her two hours to go to school, right? It also takes a long time to get from her house to Tokyo Station, right? She won't..."

"Well, she took the first train."

"..."

Looking at Izumi beside her, Aine opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after being silent for a long while, she was unable to organize her words.

……

Getting up early in the morning to catch the train is not something unfamiliar to Goto Ichiri. Compared to when she was in school, the schedule was tight and she basically had little time to rest. Now during the holidays, she can rest earlier to ensure that she gets enough sleep.

"The sea, the sea... I wonder if the others have woken up yet. Will they arrive on time?"

Sitting on the train, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but purse her lips when she thought of the other people in her band. It was the first time for her to go on vacation to the beach with someone she knew.

While I feel anticipation and excitement in my heart, there is also a slight sense of uneasiness.

'I have no experience in this area before. When I get to the beach, should I be more enthusiastic and open? If I act the same as before, will it spoil the fun for everyone? What should I do...'

In Goto Ichiri's view, this is an important step to change the black and white image of her youth, so she attaches great importance to this beach vacation. She also feels tremendous pressure in her heart. She bit her lip and looked at her suitcase.

'We must liven up the atmosphere!'

Her secret weapon is inside, which is a prop she carefully prepared without telling Quan!

After arriving at the agreed stop, Goto Ichiri pulled her suitcase and looked around, but she did not see anyone who could make her feel at ease, which made Goto Ichiri nervous.

'Am I here too early?'

She began to worry that she had come too early and that everyone would see how seriously she took this trip. She began to think about it again, and her confused thoughts made her mood depressed again.

"Ah~ Boqi-chan~ You're here too~"

Just when Goto Ichiri was shaking with nervousness, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, causing her to stop trembling in surprise and slowly turn around to look in the direction of the voice.

Angel.

The angel from Shimokitazawa was waving at her and walking towards her.

"I was just about to call you, but I didn't expect to see you when I came in. Have you been waiting here for a long time?"

Ijichi Hinikaka, who was also dragging a suitcase, came to Goto Ichiri's side and started chatting with her.

“No, no, I just arrived too… Where’s Yamada-senpai?”

"Ryo is on the way. It seems he ran into Kita. The two of them are rushing over together. Has Quanjun not arrived yet?"

"Already on the way."

Goto Ichiri thought about his conversation with Izumi on the train, and when he heard Ijichi Kouka's question, he immediately gave an answer.

"Is that so? Boki-chan and Izumi-kun really have a good relationship~"

Faced with Ijichi Kouka's comment, Goto Ichiri blushed, not knowing how to answer in such a situation. But just as she was talking to Ijichi Kouka, a pair of eyes looked at them not far away.

'spring?'

405. Do you think I like her just because she has pink hair?!

When she first heard the familiar name "Izumi", Nagasaki Shoyo thought she had misheard, or that it was just a similar pronunciation, but when she looked in the direction where the voice came from, she found that the face of the girl who was speaking seemed a little familiar.

She didn't care much about other people, but Goto Ichiri's temperament was so special that Nagasaki Shoyo recognized this girl at once. It seemed that she had been very close to Izumi before, and their relationship seemed... very good?

Thinking that the other party had a good relationship with Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo observed the other party and found that she and the girl beside her were also dragging suitcases, as if they were going on a long journey, which made Nagasaki Shoyo more suspicious.

'Speaking of...'

After observing Goto Ichiri and the sunny-looking girl for a while, Nagasaki Soyo picked up her mobile phone, opened the chat interface of Line and Izumi, and after flipping through the chat history for a while, she found something that she had previously overlooked.

[By then, there will probably be other people, it will be more fun with more people]

That was before Izumi asked Chihaya Aine to tell the other people in the band. In other words, a long time ago, Izumi had already revealed to her that he would invite people outside their band to join him on a beach vacation.

"So, at that time, he had already decided to invite other people... He just used relatively obscure words to reveal this to me..."

She seemed to smell a foul odor, the stench of a fox.

It wasn't from the introverted girl in front of him who gave people a timid feeling, but from his lover, Nagasaki Soushi, who was standing in the station, his eyes gradually drooped, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Interesting, Quan Jun... Whether it's out of deep friendship or a more complicated affection... Let's see if you have a chance to get closer to her in public."

After chatting with Goto Ichiri for a while, Ijichi Kouka seemed to notice something and looked in the direction of Nagasaki Soyo. After noticing that it was a girl with a gentle face and a smile, she felt a little confused.

"Hey, that... has that girl been looking at us since just now? Does she know us? An acquaintance from the village?"

Although Nagasaki Soyo had been a guest at 'starry' before, it had been a long time since then, and she had no interaction with Ijichi Kouka, so she had no impression of Nagasaki Soyo. After hearing what Ijichi Kouka said, Goto Ichiri looked at Nagasaki Soyo and recognized the other person at once.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri and the others were looking at him, Nagasaki Shoyo's smile grew even wider, but he just smiled at them without going up to talk to them.

"People you know?"
