I have pure love with them

Looking at Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo asked him a rather tricky question, which also made Izumi look into Nagasaki Shoyo's eyes.

"She is your sister."

Facing the gaze that Quan was looking at, Nagasaki Shoyo reminded Quan.

"Indeed, I know that myself, but she has been afraid of thunder since she was a child. Once she encounters thunder, she will recall the anxiety she had when she was a child. So I think it's okay for her to rely on me a little. After all, I am her older brother."

Facing Izumi's answer, Nagasaki Shoyo stared into his eyes. After pursing her lips slightly, she withdrew her gaze and sighed silently in her heart.

"I understand. Now... the villa has been blown into a mess by yesterday's strong wind. Is there any need to stay here any longer?"

Not only Shiina Tateki, but Nagasaki Soyo also didn't want to stay here any longer and had the idea of ​​returning to Tokyo.

"Wait until noon the day after tomorrow, then go back."

"……I see."

Her eyes fell on Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo opened her mouth slightly, as if she was about to say something, but when Izumi looked at her, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed her lips and left the room silently.

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo's leaving back, Quan felt a little confused.

He could see that Nagasaki Soushi was about to tell him something, but just as he was about to open his mouth, he held himself back.

"You hesitate to speak...it's probably not something important."

Nagasaki Shoyo left Izumi's room, walked to the stairs, and looked back at Izumi's room.

Just now, she looked through the previous surveillance footage and noticed something about Toyokawa Shoko's activities in the apartment. She was going to tell Quan about it, but before she opened her mouth, she thought of the surveillance footage she had seen in Quan's apartment, which was difficult to explain. In addition...

"If Quan saw that side of Xiangzi, would he have different thoughts about Xiangzi?"

Judging from the current situation, it would be better for her to save the video and not let Quan see it.

If Izumi had no interest in or thoughts about Toyokawa Shoko, she wouldn't have let him stay in the apartment to work. If she gave the video to Izumi, she could already imagine Izumi asking Toyokawa Shoko to work with her...

Bit your lip.

If it was earlier, Nagasaki Shoyo might have been able to accept it, but now, she no longer wanted to see Toyokawa Shoko appear in front of her again.

"No, the problem now is no longer Xiangzi."

Walking down the stairs slowly, Nagasaki Shoyo felt that what he needed to consider now was how to move out of the house after Izumi's birthday and keep a distance from Aine.

419. This is... heaven...

"Can we hold a ghost story conference tonight?"

The wind and rain outside had stopped. Chihaya Aine, who had been doing nothing in the house, leaned on Izumi's shoulder, tilted her snow-white neck slightly, and asked Izumi.

"I remember there are a lot of supernatural and horror movies here. Instead of talking about weird things, why not watch a movie together?"

Turning his head slightly, he looked at Aiyin who took the initiative to sit next to him and leaned on his shoulder. Quan was a little surprised in his heart. He didn't know why she seemed to become so enthusiastic today. In the past, when they were in the living room, she would keep some distance from him.

"The movie feels a bit monotonous, and it's not as interesting as creating a weird story yourself... And wouldn't it be more interesting for everyone to sit in a circle and talk about the weird stories?"

In Chihaya Aine's opinion, although some horror movies are also scary, most of them rely on the terrifying images. However, the ghost stories that everyone talks about rely on their own imagination and are more likely to be memorable than movies.

"Is there going to be a ghost story conference tonight?"

Ijichi Kouka was sitting next to the two of them. After hearing the conversation between Chihaya Aine and Izumi, she looked at them with interest.

She herself didn't like spooky things, and she never dared to go to the haunted house in the amusement park alone. But when she heard that a ghost story conference was going to be held, she did not choose to back off. Instead, she was very interested in this event. With so many people together, she felt that she should not be scared.

Because Goto Ichiri had entered Izumi's room earlier but was caught by Nagasaki Soushi, she kept her distance from Izumi at this moment. When she heard that a ghost story conference was going to be held, her ears moved and she seemed very interested.

Compared to other girls who are afraid of ghost stories and supernatural topics because they have few friends and like to hide in dark places, Goto Ichiri feels that ghosts have many similarities with herself and she feels very familiar with them.

"It's a strange story..."

Kita Ikuyo, who is good at making friends, had a subtle expression on her face after hearing topics related to ghost stories. She herself did not hate topics related to this, but she still felt scared when she heard some ghost stories.

"Ryo-senpai, are you afraid of strange stories?"

"Only children are afraid."

Yamada Ryo's expression seemed very indifferent, as if she didn't care about the ghost stories at all, and was full of disdain for supernatural beings, which made Kita Ikuyo exclaim "Oh~" and applaud her softly.

Looking at Chihaya Aine leaning against Izumi, Nagasaki Shoyo lowered his eyes slightly, but did not step forward to stop them. Considering their relationship as siblings, sitting side by side like this was not a strange thing, and in the eyes of others it was just a sign of their good relationship.

Takamatsu Deng was not very interested in the topic of ghost stories, but seeing that no one else spoke, she suppressed her thoughts, sat quietly on the sofa, lowered her head and played with her fingers.

"Then - it's decided! Let's go to Izumi's room tonight and hold a ghost story conference together!"

"Huh? Why?"

Nagasaki Soushi, who originally didn't care much, looked up in surprise and looked at Chihaya Aine after hearing what Chihaya Aine said.

"what?"

Shiina Riki also frowned, not understanding why Chihaya Aine chose Izumi's room as the venue.

Even the others all looked at Chihaya Aine who was sitting next to Izumi, wondering why and what her purpose was. Even if it was held in the living room, everyone could understand it, but Izumi's room was not incapable of accommodating so many people, but...

"Can't you?"

Seeing that everyone's reactions seemed surprised, Chihaya Aine was also a little confused and looked at Izumi beside her.

"I have no objection. If you bring your respective blankets to my room and spread them on the floor, you can sit on them."

"..."

Everyone in the living room looked at each other, and seeing that Quan himself had no objection, they thought about it for a while and did not refuse. It seemed a little inappropriate for one person to go to Quan's room alone, but since a group of people were in Quan's room, there was no need to be so shy.

"So, is it decided?"

Shiina Riki, who originally wanted to object, looked at Takamatsu Deng and thought about it. This seemed to be a good opportunity to give Takamatsu Deng a sense of security and protect her. After thinking about it, she did not refuse.

Since no one refused, they started making arrangements, such as moving the quilt to Quan's room, moving the two single beds in Quan's room, and then putting the beds together to leave a large open space.

Nagasaki Soyo accompanied Izumi back to his room and helped him put the bed together.

"What should I do with the sheets?"

Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi, his gaze falling on the sheets of one of the beds. Under the warm light, some not-so-obvious stains could be vaguely seen on the pure white sheets.

"Bring the bed sheet from your room and cover it with it."

"……Um."

After hearing the solution given by Izumi, Nagasaki Soyo went back to her own room first. Izumi's room was open, and Shiina Riki took the lead and came to Izumi's room holding her quilt.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Izumi standing by the bed, he lifted up the bed sheet, and Shiina Riki, who was holding the quilt, looked at him with suspicion.

"Remake the bed and put your quilt on it first."

"..."

Shiina Riki looked at Izumi and did not put the quilt on his bed as Izumi suggested. Instead, he walked to the only two chairs and put his quilt on them.

“Even the chairs in my room, I have sat on them.”

"...Tsk."

Shiina Riki, who had just put down the quilt, couldn't help but frowned, and his eyes fell on Izumi, full of dissatisfaction.

"She shouldn't be able to move the quilt by herself."

Looking at Shiina Tatsuki who was staying in his room, and thinking that Nagasaki Soyo would come back soon, Izumi wanted to get him away first. However, after hearing what Izumi said, Shiina Tatsuki turned his gaze to Izumi with a gloomy expression.

"I will care about and help you with the lights. But... don't think that if you use lights as a topic, I will be like a puppet and let you control me."

Seeing that Shiina Riki seemed to have 'woken up', Quan's expression did not change at all.

"I'm just reminding you that the room is there."

"……snort."

After staring at Izumi in front of him for a moment, Shiina Riki followed the direction of Izumi's finger and headed towards Takamatsu Deng's room.

In fact, it is not necessary for everyone to move their own quilt into Izumi's room. It is enough as long as other people on the second floor, except Shiina Tatsuki, bring the quilt into Izumi's room.

Nagasaki Soyo brought the bed sheets to Izumi's room. After handing the task of laying the sheets to Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi went to Goto Ichiri and Ijichi Kouka's room and asked if they needed his help.

"Ah, it's much easier with Izumi-kun's help. Thank you for your help!"

Facing Izumi who came forward to ask, Ijichi Hongxia, who had just rolled up her quilt, hugged the quilt, feeling a little reluctant. Looking at Izumi who was much taller than her, she gave the task of carrying the quilt to Izumi.

"I...I, I'll do it myself."

Goto Ichiri took a look at his quilt, thought for a moment, and decided to do it himself.

"Don't worry, I'll move Senior Hong Xia's quilt over first, and then I'll move your quilt later."

Picking up Ijichi Hongka's quilt, a pleasant orange scent wafted into Quan's nostrils, which made Quan stunned for a moment. He lowered his head to look at the quilt in his arms and thought that this was probably the smell of Ijichi Hongka.

Without going to see Ichichi Hongxia, Quan, holding the quilt, left the room and returned to his own room.

“Is it okay to just put it here?”

Chihaya Aine was standing next to a small table with a cup full of drinks in her arms. Nagasaki Shoyo was taking the drinks out of her arms and putting them on the small table. It was obvious that they were prepared to quench people's thirst during the Ghost Story Conference.

"Hmm? Quan, whose quilt is this?"

After hearing the noise of someone entering the room, Chihaya Aine looked at Izumi with a surprised look, while Izumi put the quilt on her bed.

"Senior Hongxia, I will continue to help move the quilts."

After leaving a few words, Izumi turned and left the room. Chihaya Aine, who stayed in the room, frowned slightly as she watched Izumi's back as he left. She looked at Nagasaki Soyo in front of her and pursed her lips.

Noticing the look Chihaya Aine was looking at him, Nagasaki Shoyo said nothing. He just quietly picked up the drink in her arms and put it on the small table in front of him. Soon the table was filled with drinks.

"It's still a little humid outside, otherwise you can open the window and let the sea breeze in."

When four quilts were brought in and laid on the floor, the girls who were already in the room took off their shoes, stepped on the quilts, and looked at the scenery outside the window. Ijichi Hongxia sighed.

Standing in the room, Quan looked at the pairs of tender, fair and slender bare feet of the girls, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

At the beginning, he himself did not expect that there would be such a scene, but now it has become a surprising scene. Fortunately, he did not reject Chihaya Aine's proposal just now.

"It will be hard to see such a scene again in the future."

There are not many opportunities like this where so many girls gather together, and there are obviously even fewer opportunities for the girls to take off their shoes and socks and show their fair feet to Quan.

It is said that appearance is determined by the heart, but in Quan's opinion, feet are also closely related to one's personality and age.
