I have pure love with them

"I've met him twice."

"..."

It wasn't a close relationship, which made Shiina Riki's expression ease a little.

"Did you tell her?"

"No, I don't know the situation, and I don't know whether I should tell her. Ms. Shiina, as a former member of the band, should be able to give me some reference and advice, so I want to ask Ms. Shiina's opinion."

As he spoke, Izumi sat up straighter, as if he cared about Shiina Riki's opinion, which made Shiina Riki feel valued. She bit her lip, not knowing why Izumi asked her, but when she thought that Izumi didn't know what happened that day, she felt a little relieved.

"It's up to you, but, whether you tell her or not, the band 'CRYCHIC' will never be revived again."

Shiina Ritsuki is not interested in the news about Toyokawa Shoko. Even if she knew where she is now and met Toyokawa Shoko, she would only ask her why she said hurtful words to Deng that day. Shiina Ritsuki doesn't care about other things.

The person who quit the band that day and caused the band to disband was also Toyokawa Shoko, and Shiina Tatsuki didn't think that Nagasaki Shoyo could convince Toyokawa Shoko.

Shiina Riki no longer cared why Toyokawa Shoko, who helped form the band, did such a thing. She only knew that Toyokawa Shoko hurt Deng, and she would never forgive him for that!

Watching Shiina Riki turn around and leave, Izumi looked at her back and fell into silence.

"You are so determined."

Looking at Shiina Tateki's answer, Izumi didn't think things were so certain. If Takamatsu Tomo was willing to rejoin Toyokawa Shoko's band, would Shiina Tateki refuse?

He picked up the juice on the table and leaned back in his chair.

While sorting out the emotional relationships among the members of the 'CRYCHIC' band, a rapid and sharp guitar playing interrupted his thoughts. He looked into the hall, where a girl with short silver hair and heterochromatic eyes was playing the guitar.

In the quiet hall, there was a sudden burst of impatient playing, and even Quan felt uncomfortable.

It was like when he was taking a hot spring bath, and suddenly a child jumped into the hot spring, splashing water all over his head and face. The sudden feeling made him unable to help but stretch out his hands and cover his ears.

The stray cat was immersed in the performance and obviously didn't pay attention to, or didn't care about, other people's feelings. After playing for a while, she took her guitar and speakers and left.

50. Just cover it up with loud noises

"No, here too..."

Akatsuji Koto returned home and ignored her annoying sister Akatsuji Yui. She went back to her room and was about to take out her notebook to confirm the contents as usual, but she found that she had nothing and could not find the notebook.

The expression on her quiet and fair face gradually became flustered. She nervously rummaged through her shirt pockets and poured out all the books in her bag. An uneasy feeling grew in her heart.

'Lost? But... where did it fall? On the way home? Or somewhere else?'

Any place would be fine, she just hoped that her black notebook was not left at school, not in her class. If the contents on it were discovered by others, her future life in school would definitely be greatly affected, and it would even become an uncertain question whether she could continue to stay in that school.

After checking her bag and confirming that her notebook was missing, she hurried out of her room.

"Ci, are you going out?"

The elder sister, En Ayatsuji, who was putting a leash on her pet dog, looked at her younger sister who hurried to the door. She asked curiously, but underneath that curiosity, there was a sense of carelessness.

Xuanji Ci was not in the mood to pay attention to her sister. Her delicate feet were embedded in her shoes. Her slender fingertips lightly hooked the heels, and she hurried out of the house, leaving Xuanji Yuan watching her back as she left. He squatted on the ground, looking at his beloved dog, and smiled softly.

"It's rare to see Ci in such a panic. It's really interesting."

"Wang~"

"Let's go for a walk~"

"Wang~"

……

After running hurriedly for a while on the street, Xuanji Ci took the subway. Sitting on the subway, she felt nervous and uneasy.

"The people on duty today are Kamisaki and Tanamachi, right? If one of them saw the notebook..."

As he was thinking anxiously about the final solution after the notebook was picked up by someone, Xuanji Ci's expression gradually became heavy and deep. After arriving at the station, he walked towards the school with a heavy heart.

School ended early, but after working in class and the student union, it was already very late when she got home. Fortunately, the school gates had not been closed yet, so she hurried into the campus, came to the school building, and first went to the student union.

After checking and finding no trace of her notebook, she gritted her teeth and went back to the classroom.

"No...no...not here either."

After looking at the ground carefully and not finding any trace of his notebook, Xuanji Ci's heart sank to the bottom of the sea.

On the bright side, maybe no one picked up her notebook, and it might have fallen somewhere outside the school, but on the bad side... it might have been picked up and taken away by someone, and the contents have been read.

"..."

Like falling into an ice cellar.

In this April when the temperature is gradually warming up, Akatsuki Ci once again feels the biting cold of winter.

She walked to her seat staggeringly and fell weakly on her desk.

"It's over..."

She could do nothing now, like Louis XVI being pushed to the execution platform.

She looked dazed and couldn't remember when she returned home. After returning home, she lay down on her bed, refused to go downstairs to eat, and curled up in the quilt, thinking about how she could solve the problem.

"Absolutely...absolutely no one can know that it is my notebook."

It's only been a week since school started, and everyone doesn't know each other well enough. Maybe no one knows that it's her diary...

"That's impossible. There are too many things related to me written on it. Someone will definitely recognize it."

Biting her lip, Xuanji Ci felt that she could no longer think, her mind was a mess. Under the influence of tension and anxiety, she closed her eyes in a trance, but in the darkness, she saw the scene of her being isolated and bullied by everyone.

At night, she fell into a deep sleep, but opened her eyes in panic.

Over and over again.

In the morning, she looked in the mirror and saw her tired and pale face, as well as the dark circles under her eyes. There was something wrong no matter how she looked at it.

In order to prevent others from noticing her abnormality, she had no choice but to borrow some cosmetics from her sister to cover up her haggard face, and walked towards the school with a heavy heart.

"Good morning, Ayatsuji-san."

"Good morning."

After arriving at school, she smiled and greeted the classmates who greeted her, while in her mind she was screening out people who might have picked up the notebook.

"It seems that it has not spread among the class yet."

Before the truth is fully exposed, she still has to maintain her image as the perfect class monitor.

As she gradually approached the classroom, she suddenly stopped when she heard the conversation coming from inside the classroom. She felt a strong sense of uneasiness and fear in her heart. Even though she didn't hear clearly, she always felt that those people were talking about things related to her and were framing her.

Her straight, slender, white legs were trembling a little at this moment. She bit her lips, but driven by her strong heart, she took her own steps and walked into the classroom with a smile.

"Good morning."

Quan, who was sitting in the classroom, came to the classroom early according to his normal schedule.

He sat down in his seat, supporting his cheek with one hand, waiting for Xuanji Ci to arrive, thinking in his heart how he should return the small black book to the other party.

"I'd better give it to her without attracting anyone's attention. If someone notices it and finds out what's inside, my student life will be over."

This is not something that can be covered up by sound.

"Wait until after school when there are no people around and give it to her."

While thinking this, Izumi took out the Weekly Shonen Magazine that he bought on the road and started to read this week's updates.

"Good morning."

It was not until he heard the familiar, fresh and energetic voice of Akatsuki that Izumi turned his gaze from the comics to Akatsuki who was walking into the classroom.

With her usual gentle smile and energetic voice, she seemed not to have noticed that her notebook was lost, or not to be worried at all. She walked into the classroom, talked to the girls she had a good relationship with, and then returned to her seat.

'Didn't you notice?'

For a moment, Quan mistakenly thought that Xuanji Ci didn't care, but when he was about to look away, he found that the sunlight shining on Xuanji Ci's face gave off a faint, unnatural luster. Quan then noticed that Xuanji Ci was wearing makeup today.

"Oh, you put on makeup?"

51. You are such a lousy scumbag

Since he was sitting at the back of the classroom, Izumi could observe Ayatsuji easily.

After entering the classroom, the other party had been secretly looking at other students in the classroom intentionally or unintentionally. She must have been screening out people who might have picked up her notebook.

When he looked at Izumi with a faintly scrutinizing gaze, Izumi, who had been observing Ayatsuji Ci, slightly changed his line of sight, avoiding Ayatsuji Ci's gaze and quietly looked at the blackboard in front of the classroom.

'It doesn't look like her...it doesn't look like him either, and then...'

When Xuanji Ci's eyes fell on Izumi and noticed that the other party was looking in his direction, Xuanji Ci suddenly became nervous.

"It doesn't matter who finds her notebook, but it must not be Chihaya Izumi."

Although during the brief contact, Xuanji Ci felt that Chihaya Izumi was unlikely to be interested in the contents of the notebook even if she picked it up, and she didn't have any particularly good relationships with anyone in the class, so it was unlikely that she would tell other people. But if Chihaya Izumi picked it up, it would be like giving the other party a handle on her, which was something she could not accept.

Feeling dazed and uneasy, Akatsuji Ci gradually noticed that Chihayazumi's eyes did not seem to be looking at her. She followed her gaze and looked at the blackboard in front of her, and she fell silent.

"Are you just daydreaming?"

Xuanji Ci was not sure in his heart, but there was no way for him to go up to Izumi to confirm. He could only speculate in his heart, then silently look away and pretend nothing had happened.

By noon, some people in the class could tell from her absent-minded state that she was not in a good mental state. She looked a little tired, unlike usual.

"Nothing, I just read a book last night and went to bed a little late."

Faced with the concern of his classmates, Xuanji Ci just replied like this, and then temporarily left the classroom. No one knew where he went.

He looked at Goto Ichiri's seat. As soon as the break time came, he disappeared from the classroom as fast as the Flash. Izumi also had no intention of staying in the classroom. After standing up, he went to meet Shun and the others.

The three boys didn't have any special topics to talk about when they were together. They basically talked about games with Sendo Xiaodou. He would mention Izumi who hadn't played games online for a long time. The rest of the time they talked about Shun who worked in an e-sports store. Sendo Xiaodou had nothing to do on weekends, so he would go to the e-sports store where Shun worked. The two of them met often, but Izumi rarely had any interactions with the other two outside of school in recent times.

"Quan, you didn't get a girlfriend, did you?"
