I have pure love with them

Ai Ne, who was hugging Izumi's neck tightly, stared blankly at the window. It took her a long time to gradually calm down. When she regained her composure, she looked at Izumi whom she was hugging and gradually loosened her arms, but she still sat on the edge of the bed.

"Just now... just like just now, I was afraid that you would be scared by the thunder, so I came to check on you."

She raised her slender index finger and pointed towards the window. Even after being frightened, the girl still remained stubborn and refused to admit that she was frightened.

"Then aren't you worried that Shuangshi will be scared because she's alone in the room?"

"..."

Hearing the name Nagasaki Soyo from Izumi's mouth, Chihaya Aine, who was originally a little embarrassed and shy, couldn't help but frown. In the dark night, she lowered her eyelids and stared at Izumi's eyes, which were faintly shining with light.

"Didn't I tell you that I only came here after I saw her fall asleep? How could she be scared when she was already asleep?"

"But if she is awakened by thunder and finds that you are the only one in the room, wouldn't that be more frightening... and since you are not in the room, she might come out to look for you."

"..."

After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine felt that it was not impossible, but deep down she always felt that her brother cared more about Nagasaki Sose.

"I'll take you back—"

"Never!"

With a muffled groan, before Izumi could finish his words, Aiyin, hearing that he was going to take her back to her room, suddenly lay down on Izumi's bed and got into his quilt, squeezing Izumi on the bed which was not very big to begin with.

The single bed, which was originally quite spacious, suddenly became crowded, and the quilt that covered her was mostly rolled up by Aine, which surprised Izumi who was sitting on the bed.

"Is it okay to stay here and wait until tomorrow and be seen?"

"..."

Ai Ne lying on the bed remained silent. It was obvious that she no longer wanted to answer Quan's words and began to shut herself off.

"I...want to be with Izumi..."

Just when Quan was about to get up and lie down on the other bed to make room for Aine, so that she wouldn't fall off the bed after she fell asleep, he seemed to hear Aine's soft murmur.

His body suddenly froze, and he looked down at Aine who was muffled in the quilt, but he found that there was no further news, as if what he had just heard was just hallucination.

Outside the window, the sound of the wind is still there, accompanied by bursts of dull thunder.

'Thunder God is moving a little, although it is not zero, I will keep my sister.'

Recalling the Thunder God tanka in the Manyoshu, this tanka related to thunder, Izumi gave up the idea of ​​getting up. He sat quietly on the bed, and all his messy thoughts turned to ashes at this moment.

'Just stay with her.'

Just like when they were little, when their parents were working outside, they would just stay at home and accompany Aine.

……

The rumble of thunder sounded low, and she opened her eyes in a daze. Nagasaki Shoyo felt that she had not rested well last night. The continuous thunder made her unable to remember when she fell asleep and how long she rested.

'I can't sleep.'

I slowly opened my eyes to the edge of the bed, and all I saw was darkness.

She reached under her pillow, picked up her cell phone, and then checked the time.

4:48

It was not even dawn yet, but with the whistling wind and thunder outside the window, Nagasaki Shoyo was no longer sleepy. With fatigue in her eyes, she raised her eyes and looked across.

The fluorescent light from the mobile phone screen made the originally dark room a little brighter. Nagasaki Shoyo looked across, but only saw the bulging quilt, and did not see the pink head that should have been lying on the pillow.

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt appeared in Nagasaki Shoyo's eyes. He blinked and looked across again.

"..."

Finding that the other person seemed to be gone, she slowly sat up and cast her eyes towards the bed opposite. She also turned on the light of her cell phone, shining it towards the bed belonging to Chihaya Aine.

There was no one in sight, only a quilt lying on the bed.

She stood up and walked to Chihaya Aine's window, put her hand on the bed sheet, and after not feeling the body temperature that she should have, she touched the quilt again.

There wasn't a trace of residual warmth, and he was gone for so long that it didn't feel like he was just going to the bathroom.

"..."

With his mouth slightly opened and a puzzled look on his face, Nagasaki Shoyo looked down at his cell phone, wondering whether he should call Chihaya Aine to ask about her current whereabouts.

In a thunderstorm like this, if a person suddenly disappeared from the room, even Nagasaki Soyo would inevitably feel concerned and nervous.

The thunder outside made Nagasaki Shoyo a little upset again. After standing in the room silently for a while, she walked out of the room and prepared to go to Izumi first to see if she knew where Aine was. If she didn't know, then she would go look for Aine with Izumi.

"It shouldn't be... at Quan's place, right?"

As Nagasaki Shoyo was walking up the stairs, a possibility suddenly occurred to his mind, but he felt that it was not necessary.

"You're already a high school student, so you shouldn't be afraid of thunder and hide in your brother's room."

The strong wind hit the building, making a loud noise.

For some reason, Nagasaki Soyo, who came to the second floor, did not turn on the lights. Instead, he used the light of his mobile phone and slowly walked to the door of Quan's room.

Looking at the closed door, she raised her right hand and was about to knock on the door, but then hesitated. After staring at the back of her hand for a moment, she put it down in silence and reached out to try to push open the door.

The door was not locked. Just a slight push opened the door a crack. Nagasaki Shoyo turned down the light of his cell phone and then slowly looked into the room.

"..."

His eyes fell on Izumi's bed, and the first thing Nagasaki Shoyo saw was Chihaya Aine sleeping peacefully, which made Nagasaki Shoyo stunned for a moment.

'Did she come to Quan's room last night after I fell asleep?'

It was unclear when Chihaya Aine came here, but seeing her sleeping face, Nagasaki Shoyo was sure that she had come here very early.

After seeing Aine, she began to look for Izumi, and then she saw Izumi sleeping while sitting against the headboard.

"..."

Nagasaki Soushi, who was a little worried when he saw Chihaya Aine appear in Izumi's room, felt relieved when he saw Izumi's intact pajamas and her uneasy sleeping face.

"… Let's go back."

He was a little worried about whether Izumi could get a good rest tonight given her sleeping posture. After his eyes wandered back and forth between Chihaya Aine and Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo withdrew his gaze, slowly left the room, and carefully closed the door again.

A man stood quietly at the door of the room, recalling what he had just seen. Nagasaki Shoyo pondered for a moment, turned and walked towards the stairs, preparing to return to his room first.

But after taking just two steps, he heard the door opening, and then Nagasaki Shoyo saw Takamatsu Deng walking out of the room.

"..."

"..."

Takamatsu Deng looked at Nagasaki Soyo who appeared in front of him in surprise, and Nagasaki Soyo was also a little surprised that he would run into Takamatsu Deng when he was about to return to his room.

"Shuangshi..."

Whispering Nagasaki Soyo's name softly, Takamatsu Deng wanted to ask the other party why he was here, but when he opened his mouth, his eyes glanced in the direction of Izumi's room, as if he understood something, and did not ask the other party why he was here.

"woke up?"

Nagasaki Soyo was not surprised to be seen by Takamatsu Deng, but he was a little curious about why the other party went out at this time.

"Um...bathroom..."

Under Nagasaki Shoyo's gaze, Takamatsu Deng nodded slightly.

The two of them had little topic to talk about. After looking at each other for a moment, Nagasaki Soyo walked towards the stairs, while Takamatsu Deng watched Nagasaki Soyo leave and slowly walked towards the bathroom.

On a rainy day, the sky is pitch black, making it difficult to tell whether it is day or night.

But as time passed, some people who had rested enough and woke up, as well as some who found it difficult to rest under the whistling sound, gradually woke up, put on their clothes, and came to the living room together.

Even with Shiina Riki's personality, staying in a bedroom that was not very spacious, listening to the wind and thunder outside the window, he could not help feeling lonely and uneasy. After waking up, he came to the living room.

She thought she would be the first person to arrive in the living room, but when she got there, she noticed someone was watching TV.

'who? ’

When Shiina Riki moved closer and came to the sofa, she realized that the person watching TV was the bassist of another band.

"Is your name Yamada?"

He didn't have much impression of the name, Shiina Riki only remembered the other person's last name.

Hearing the noise, Yamada Ryo looked at Shiina Tatsuki who came into the living room, and found that the other party was not a member of his band. After looking at each other for a moment, the two withdrew their gazes without any communication.

……

After sleeping all night leaning against the head of the bed, I slowly opened my eyes. Even Quan felt a little tired.

He tilted his eyes to his side, looking at his sister who was still sleeping soundly, and then he looked towards the window. He slowly pulled his arms out of Aine's arms, then he stood up from the bed and came to the window.

We talked about a corner of the curtain and looked out the window. The sky was still gloomy, but last night it was pitch dark, but now I can see the surging sea in the distance.

"Let's go downstairs and prepare breakfast first. I'm a little hungry. The rain will continue until the afternoon. After breakfast, come back and rest."

Having made up his mind, Izumi left the sleeping Aine in the room and went to the living room, where he saw everyone sitting on the sofa watching TV and Ijichi Kouka preparing breakfast.

"Ah, Izumi-kun, are you awake?"

When Ijichi Hongxia saw Quan, she smiled and greeted him.

"Preparing breakfast?"

"Well, I just asked everyone and I'm just about to start preparing now."

As the words fell, Ijichi Hongxia looked at Quan with curiosity, which made Quan, who lowered his eyes, have a puzzled look on his face and looked at Ijichi Hongxia in front of him.

"What's wrong? Is there something on your face?"

"No, I just felt that Quan Jun looked a little...not very energetic today, so I was a little curious, did you not get enough rest last night?"

After hearing Ijichi Hongxia's question, Quan put his hands on his face and frowned slightly. He didn't expect that his complexion was so bad that it could be seen.

"Sorry, maybe I'm overthinking it."

Seeing Quan's frown, Ijichi Hongxia also expressed her apologies, worried that her words would affect Quan's mood.

"I didn't get much rest yesterday... I plan to go back and rest for a while after breakfast."

"Oh... Well, I'll prepare breakfast then, and Izumi-kun can just rest."

After hearing what Quan said, Ichichi Hongxia kindly asked Quan to go and rest while she prepared breakfast for him.
