I have pure love with them

The atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.

As if she had noticed something, Izumi put the bill on the counter. Fujita Kotone took the money with an embarrassed look on her face, paid the other party the change, and then watched the other party leave the convenience store.

The intense shame and embarrassment were still hard to dissipate even after Quan left.

"Should I change... No, I have to go to school during the day, and I only have a little time at night... I can't avoid it."

A look of despair appeared on the girl's face.

"Come on... Just don't think about other things and face it calmly..."

……

Quan, who was not in a good mood at first, did not expect that a trip to the convenience store would bring her such an interesting experience. Recalling the shy and embarrassed expression on the girl's face, Quan could not help but humming on his way home.

"She looks cute, but her body doesn't look very healthy. It seems that her family situation is not good. She chose to work in a convenience store for the sake of her family... or her studies."

Recalling the details of his contact with the girl at the convenience store, Quan smiled and slowly analyzed the girl's situation.

"The accent sounds like Saitama."

Since he did not have much contact with the girl and did not have any extra communication with her other than purchasing items, Quan could not analyze much.

"Looking at her physical condition, it seems that there are some problems. I wonder how long she can hold on."

The fatigue can be seen at a glance. The other party probably didn't get enough rest for the sake of survival. He can hold on for now, but there is no telling when he will collapse.

Although Quan could have reminded the other party, she didn't think that the other party would be completely unaware of his own physical condition. He was just a customer, and a customer who often bought products that made her blush. Even if she reminded him, she might not take it to heart.

While thinking about the situation of the shop assistant, Quan returned to his apartment. After opening the door and entering the house, he put the two boxes in his pocket into the bedside drawer in the bedroom.

Before Goto Ichiri came to the apartment, Izumi used the bathroom, put on his pajamas, and returned to the bedroom.

21: 02.

The doorbell rang. Izumi, who was lying on the bed in the bedroom reading a magazine, slowly got up, walked to the door and opened it for Goto Ichiri.

"I'm sorry, Quan... I..."

"It's okay. I was just reading a magazine. Go to the bathroom first."

"Has the spring been washed yet?"

Goto Ichiri looked at Izumi who was wearing pajamas in front of her and asked in confusion. After getting a positive answer, she went into the house regretfully, put down the guitar on her back, and after Izumi prepared a towel and pajamas for her, she went into the bathroom alone.

"Is the bathroom a little small?"

Although he knew what Goto Ichiri meant, it wouldn't be a big problem even if Izumi took a shower again, but the key problem was that the bathroom was too small. It was enough for one person, but it would become crowded if two people went in.

In a humid bathroom, if someone slips and something unexpected happens, it is very likely that both of them will fall down.

'If unnecessary danger can be avoided, avoid it.'

Standing in front of the bathroom door and staring at the bathroom for a while, Quan went back to the bedroom, lay down on his bed, and after lying down, he closed his eyes.

It's already 21 p.m., and it's time to rest.

"..."

When Goto Ichiri dried his hair and entered the bedroom in his pajamas, he saw Izumi lying on the bed resting.

Goto Ichiri was feeling anxious and conflicted, wondering what would happen tonight. Looking at Izumi who had fallen asleep, she suddenly felt the sadness of a married woman and lay down beside Izumi with a lost look on her face.

"Good night...Brother...good night..."

After lying down, Goto Ichiri looked at Izumi beside him and whispered good night.

But Quan, who had already closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, suddenly heard the name "brother". His ears suddenly moved twice, and then he gently turned over and hugged Goto Ichiri by his side with both hands.

"Eh?"

……

"What's wrong, Boqi-chan? You don't look very energetic. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

During the band's activity time, Ijichi Kouka, who was in the recording studio, saw Goto Ichiri, who was in a low state, and became concerned about her condition.

Although Goto Ichiri looks a little timid and weak under normal circumstances, this has nothing to do with "depression". There is an essential difference between the two. Goto Ichiri is obviously in a bad mental state at the moment.

"Eh? Ah... um... a little bit..."

In response to Ijichi Kouka's question, Goto Ichiri suddenly raised his head and then answered hesitantly.

"Were you about to fall asleep?"

"...No, no, I just...was distracted."

Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo, who were standing aside, looked at each other. They could both tell at a glance that Goto Ichiri was lying.

"Um...Pochi-chan, although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, but...moderation is important. It won't affect the band's activities."

After hearing Ijichi Kouka's warning, Goto Ichiri blushed, lowered his head, and answered in a barely audible voice.

"Uh-huh."

472

Chapter 472 I will inject funds heavily.

When Izumi was discussing with Tokinoya Satomi about the 'Fox One' event on Halloween, he received a message from his sister.

[After the band's activities, Soyo and I went to your apartment]

As Izumi looked at the message, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. Tokinoya Satomi noticed the change in Izumi's expression and asked him softly what had happened.

"Don't worry about it. I'll leave the Halloween event to Miss Congmei. I have other things to do, so I'll leave first."

Originally, he just came to take a look at the situation in the store and briefly discuss the Halloween event. Now that everything has been resolved, Quan has no reason to stay any longer. But just as he was leaving the office, he ran into Inazuki Nozomi who seemed to be passing by.

"Ah, Quan, you came over today."

Seeing Inatsuki Nozomi, Izumi slowed down his pace, and when he stopped, his eyes fell on the girl. He greeted her with a smile and asked about her work in the store during this period.

"After the store was renovated and its business expanded, a lot more customers came to the store. The work is much busier than before, but the store has also become more lively."

Inazuki Nozomi answered Izumi's question with a smile.

"You and Shun, if you feel that the work is too busy and there is not enough manpower, you can ask Miss Satomi and she will add some more people at that time so that you don't tire yourself out."

Hearing Quan's concern, Inazuki Nozomi pursed her lips slightly and nodded under Quan's gaze.

"The store now has a lot of facilities that weren't there before. Do you want to try them out, Quan?"

"Forget about it today. I have something else to do. Let's experience it next time we come over. I won't disturb you at work. See you next time."

"..."

Inazuki Momo opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but seeing that Izumi had already walked towards the door, she could only say "hmm" softly, then watched the other person disappear in the store and lowered her head silently.

After silently adjusting her mood, she continued to devote herself to her work and do her own thing.

"During this period of time... no, actually after my birthday, I rarely get together with Shun and the others. No wonder it feels so quiet around me at school..."

Meeting Inatsuki Nozomi on 'Fox One' made Izumi suddenly realize that he rarely got together with Tokinoya Shun, Sendo Akato, and Inatsuki Nozomi at school during this period of time. Unknowingly, a sad rift seemed to have appeared among them.

"Maybe this is what growing up is all about."

Quan didn't have too many feelings about this change. He had already anticipated it in his heart. Even if not now, he would face such a situation sooner or later after graduating from high school.

After leaving 'Fox One' and receiving the message from his sister, Quan was ready to go home. However, on the way home, he still had to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

"It's common for someone to come alone, but today, two people came together, which is a bit rare."

Faced with such a situation, Quan first thought of whether his sister had something to ask him for help, but if it was an important matter, she would not come with Nagasaki Soyo. While thinking about it, he bought the ingredients by himself and returned to his apartment early.

Because it was just a band activity and not an event like a live performance, when Izumi returned to his apartment and prepared dinner, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Soyo arrived at his apartment at about the same time.

"Ah~ It's still warm here... I'm so thirsty, is there anything to drink?"

Chihaya Aine entered the house, took off her uniform shoes, and hurried into the living room. She put down her guitar backpack, looked at Izumi, and asked where the drink was.

"Pour your own water."

Izumi, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter and preparing dinner, looked at her anxious sister and responded indifferently. Then she looked at Nagasaki Shoyo who had entered the house behind her.

"Only water? Never mind..."

After hearing Izumi's answer, Chihaya Aine hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, she realized that she was just thirsty and it didn't matter what she drank, so she poured herself a glass of water to quench her thirst. Her eyes turned to the pot in front of Izumi.

"What are you doing? You smell good."

“Sukiyaki.”

“Great~”

A look of joy appeared on Chihaya Aine's face, and then she narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she looked at her brother.

"Sure enough, in weather like this, Sukiyaki is the best choice. Although I can ask my mom to prepare it, it's a little hard to ask her."

Nagasaki Soushi put down his bass, sat down on the sofa, and his eyes fell on Chihaya Aine. After hearing her words, Nagasaki Soushi couldn't help but think about his mother and when was the last time she entered the kitchen for her.

"Mom... Sukiyaki? It feels... so far away."

"Did you send a message to your family when you came here?"

Izumi, who was preparing dinner, asked her a question in return after hearing her sister's speech, which made Chihaya Aine freeze. She hummed softly for a moment, silently picked up her mobile phone, and walked towards the balcony.

"Hey, Mom, tonight... ah, yes... oh... um..."

The door to the balcony was closed, but Chihaya Aine's voice could still be heard clearly. Nagasaki Shoyo's gaze lingered on the girl's back for a moment, and then he looked at Izumi.

"Because we were talking about Halloween, she wanted to know what Quan thought, so she came along."

While Chihaya Aine was still on the balcony talking to her family, Nagasaki Shoyo took the initiative to speak to Izumi and told her the reason why they came together today.

"Halloween?"

"Ah."

Quan didn't have any special idea about what to do on Halloween. He was not very interested in holidays.

Looking towards the balcony, his eyes fell on his sister, but Quan quickly retracted his gaze, lowered his head and looked at the dinner he had prepared, slowly thinking about the arrangements he could make on Halloween.

About 5 minutes later, Chihaya Aine who was on the balcony returned to the house and looked at the two people, one sitting on the sofa and the other standing at the kitchen counter, but there was no communication at all.

"A little bit, isn't it a little too quiet? Don't you have any topics to discuss?"
