After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine looked at her brother.

"Don't be such a pessimist! If there's no electricity, I'll just...ah..."

Sighing softly, Chihaya Aine fixed her gaze on Izumi and asked him about the details of the typhoon.

"How long will this last?"

"The reports say there will be a day and a night, and then there will be continuous heavy rain."

"Will it be okay tonight?"

Chihaya Aine nodded, then moved closer to Quan again and sat on the outside of the bed. She heard the window beside her shaking constantly, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Looking at Aine who kept pushing towards him, Izumi who was lying on the inside felt a little helpless.

"There's no room left. If you squeeze in any more, I'll be stuck in a sandwich."

"is it?"

After hearing what Izumi said, Chihaya Aine didn't stop her actions and continued to squeeze towards Izumi, which made Izumi a little annoyed. He turned sideways and put his arms around Aine's waist. When the girl was about to ask Izumi what she was doing, he exerted force and hugged the girl to himself.

"Is this okay?"

Aine, who was originally sitting next to Izumi, suddenly sat on top of Izumi, and Chihaya Aine was completely stunned.

But after a brief surprise, Chihaya Aine did not get up and leave from Izumi's arms, but lay quietly in Izumi's arms, staring at the ceiling of the room, recalling the scene of being hugged by Izumi when she was a child.

'Come to think of it, it seems like it's been a long time since I sat in his arms like this?'

Since she was a child, she has always been very dependent on Quan, and the relationship between them has always been very good, so she would often sit in Quan's arms like this, but as time passed, she unknowingly found that she had not sat in Quan's arms like this for a long time.

"Well……"

Facing Izumi's question, Chihaya Aine just responded sullenly. Izumi placed his hands in front of her, and Chihaya Aine did not touch her mobile phone. She just watched whatever Izumi was watching until nightfall.

On typhoon and heavy rain days, when we were on holiday and had nothing to do, dinner would be much earlier than usual. At 17: in the afternoon, the family had finished dinner and returned to their respective rooms.

Chihaya Aine couldn't stay in her own room, so she came to Izumi's room.

"What are you doing—"

“Aine?”

As soon as she broke into Izumi's room and wanted to ask what she was doing, she heard a familiar voice coming from Izumi, which made Chihaya Aine stunned for a moment.

'Shuangshi came before the rain?'

An abnormal but possible idea came to her mind, but when she looked in the direction of Quan, she didn't see Nagasaki Soyo, so she thought it was probably a voice chat, and slowly came to the edge of Quan's bed. Under Quan's gaze, she tilted her body little by little, looking at the mobile phone in Quan's hand, and then she saw Nagasaki Soyo sitting in the room.

"Ah, good evening, Shuangshi."

"Evening...it's only afternoon now, right?"

After hearing Chihaya Aine's words, Nagasaki Shoyo, who was alone at home, was stunned for a moment and responded with a chuckle.

"Ah... well, it doesn't feel any different in this weather."

"What do you want from Quan?"

Sitting on the bed in her room, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Aine who appeared in Izumi's room. She felt a little concerned and wondered why Chihaya Aine wanted to see Izumi at this time.

"It's nothing. It's just that in this weather, there's nothing to do, so I wanted to come to Quan's room to check on him. I didn't expect he was talking to you on the phone. Sorry."

"Nothing."

Upon learning that Chihaya Aine entered Izumi's room just because she was bored, Nagasaki Shoyo had no expression on his face. He smiled and said it was not a problem, and gradually began to talk to Chihaya Aine. On the contrary, Izumi, as the owner of the room, had no sense of presence. She lay quietly on the bed, giving people the feeling that she was already asleep.

The two girls gradually started talking about the bad weather, then moved on to the Tokyo Skytree, taking photos, clothes, hairstyles, fashion magazines, celebrities, TV dramas...

By the time Chihaya Aine felt tired and her mouth was dry, it was already 20 p.m.

"It's already so late?"

Noticing the time in the upper right corner and the low battery level on Izumi's phone, Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment, while Nagasaki Soushi's phone had already been charged.

"I don't feel anything. Time seems to have gone a lot faster."

Nagasaki Sōyo smiled slightly.

"I'll go get a glass of water. You and Shuangshi can continue chatting."

Feeling her throat was a little dry, Chihaya Aine no longer wanted to continue the conversation. She returned the phone to Izumi and left the room silently. With her eyes lowered, as if half asleep and half awake, Izumi noticed that Nagasaki Soyo looked a little tired when she saw him again.

"tired?"

"A little... a little."

Originally, he just wanted to chat with Izumi, but he didn't expect to run into Chihaya Aine entering Izumi's room, and the two of them talked about such a long event. Now Nagasaki Soushi is mentally exhausted and wants to rest.

But before ending the call with Quan, she had one more thing she wanted to ask.

"Does she often come to your room like this?"

"Occasionally, the typhoon was so strong today that I was alone in the room. I guess I felt uneasy."

Looking at Izumi at the other end, Nagasaki Shoyo slightly opened her lips, wanting to say something, but she was helpless. No matter how willful she was, it was impossible for Izumi to come to her side and accompany her in such a strong storm.

"Go to bed early. The wind will stop tomorrow."

"Ah."

When Chihaya Aine returned to Izumi's room with the cup of water, she saw Izumi lying alone on the bed.

"it's over?"

"Ah."

"We don't need to contact Ichiri, Mikazuki and the others by phone anymore, right?"

"I have to send a message and get in touch."

After taking a sip of water and placing the glass on the table, Chihaya Aine's gaze fell on her brother.

"Aren't you worried that something might go wrong?"

"what?"

Chihaya Aine had no idea what to do about her brother who asked questions even though she knew the answer. She just sighed silently and lay down beside him.

There was a loud roar of wind and rain outside, but Chihaya Aine, who was lying in the house, didn't feel anything. With Izumi's company, she slept soundly.

……

After the typhoon left, the streets and courtyards were in a mess. Izumi helped his mother tidy up the garden and checked the condition of the house. After confirming that there was no problem, he went to Tokinoya's house and checked on Tokinoya Miura.

"The windows have been leaking water... nothing else."

Tokinoya Satomi and Tokinoya Shun went out to work early, and Tokinoya Mion was alone at home again. Facing Izumi's concern, the girl glanced at the window and answered softly.

There was no particular emotion on her face. Having lived here for quite some time, she had already gotten used to this situation.

"Now, let Mrs. Tokinoya consider moving."

The apartment they live in now is very cheap, with a monthly rent of less than 5 yen, but living in a 1DK apartment is somewhat inconvenient. Now that their income is stable and has increased, it is time to move to a more spacious residence.

There is only one bed in the apartment where three people live.

He stretched out his hand and placed it on Tokinoya Mio's head, gently stroking the girl, while Tokinoya Mio quietly felt Izumi's comfort.

After staying at Tokinoya's house for a while, Izumi slowly left when Tokinoya Mio was satisfied. When passing by Toyokawa Shoko's residence, Izumi stopped and his eyes fell on that house.

“It doesn’t seem to have any impact.”

Looking at the intact building in front of him... or rather, there was nothing damaged, and it wouldn't be noticeable if it was damaged, Quan sighed softly.

This type of building may not guarantee comfort, but it is quite sturdy.

Just when Quan was about to leave, the door was pushed open with a "whoosh" and a familiar figure appeared in front of Quan.

Shoko Toyokawa, with a bag on her shoulder, was about to go out. After opening the door, she found that there seemed to be someone standing in front of her house. When she looked up and saw the face of the passerby, she couldn't help but be stunned.

"What a coincidence."

Looking at the stunned Toyokawa Shoko, Izumi, who came to his senses first, smiled and waved to her gently in greeting.

"Why are you here?"

Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, then after closing the door, she slowly walked up to Quan and asked.

"I was coming from my friend's house and happened to be on my way. When I passed by here, I stopped for a while. I didn't expect to run into you going out."

"..."

Looking at the spring in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko didn't know how to describe her feelings at the moment. Her eyes fixed on the spring in front of her, she pursed her lips slightly.

"I……"

440

Chapter 440 I’m afraid of getting separated from you.

Meeting Toyokawa Shoko was a little beyond Quan's expectations.

He came here just to see if the Toyokawa family's apartment was damaged by the typhoon, and was going to take a look and leave, but he didn't expect that during this "look", he would happen to run into Toyokawa Shoko.

"Work?"

His eyes fell on Toyokawa Shoko. Seeing that she lowered her head and looked a little unhappy, Izumi spoke before she did and took the lead in the topic.

"No."

After hearing Izumi's question, Toyokawa Shoko raised her head again and looked at the young man in front of her.

"Just going out to buy some daily necessities."

Due to the typhoon and heavy rain, Shoko Toyokawa had to stay at home for a day, and it was a long time since she had been in the same space with her father.

But although they were said to be together, the other party was basically drinking silently and remained drunk, while she was just doing her own thing.

Now the rain has stopped, and the man is still asleep because he is drunk. She plans to buy some necessary daily necessities and... tonight's dinner before he wakes up.

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now."

Looking at Izumi in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko did not continue chatting with Izumi, nor did she want to hear Izumi say anything about accompanying her shopping.

She left a word, and without waiting for Quan in front of her to answer, she took the lead and walked towards the tram stop.
