I have pure love with them

"..."

After hearing the girl's answer, Quan's expression became subtle. He found it hard to imagine that an idol candidate would say that he was not good at singing.

But after Fujita Kotone forced herself to sing "Love Fortune Cookie" to Izumi, before she finished singing, Izumi raised her right hand, indicating that she didn't need to force herself to continue singing.

It's not that bad to listen to, but it's certainly not that good either. As an idol, to put it bluntly, her singing ability still has a lot of room for improvement.

"What is the development model of your idol academy? It shouldn't be that after you graduate, you will be asked to submit your information to various agencies and sign contracts with them, right?"

"Could it be... that Chihaya-san is an idol fan?"

Fujita Kotone's eyes fell on Izumi and she felt that Izumi seemed to know a lot about the idol industry and did not seem like an outsider who knew nothing. Especially after knowing Izumi's age, a guess suddenly came to her mind and she asked it.

"Compared to the title of 'Mr.', I prefer the titles of 'brother', 'master' and 'father'. You can choose one of these three."

"..."

Fujita Kotone, who was standing in front of Izumi, suddenly looked embarrassed. Any of these three titles was too difficult for her, but considering her own reward, she reluctantly chose the relatively easier one, 'brother'.

And when Izumi heard Fujita Kotone's name, the other party's tender voice was obviously different from the feeling of Aine, Ichiri, and Mio.

"You haven't answered the question just now."

"…Our academy has its own firm. After completing their studies, students can join the academy's firm. Of course, they can also join other firms."

Students attending the idol academy have all paid tuition, so they have a high degree of freedom and are not required to join the academy's agency. However, if they join the academy's agency, they will receive some extra care and preferential treatment compared to other students who have not joined.

"If you join the academy's agency, before you finish your studies, the academy will plan your idol development path and match you with suitable group members. They can also introduce and distribute easy and simple jobs to accumulate supporters for the academy... My grades are a bit bad, so... it's very reluctant for me to join the academy's agency."

Fujita Kotone is very talented in dancing, but being an idol is not just about dancing, and she had previously been overdrawing her energy on part-time jobs, so she didn't perform very well in dancing during the academy assessment, which resulted in a very low evaluation on paper.

Picking up the teacup in front of him, Izumi took a sip, and Fujita Kotone, who was standing in front of Izumi, felt like she was being interviewed.

"That's all for today. You can go back. If you can't go back, you can stay here overnight."

"Eh?"

Fujita Kotone stared blankly at Izumi in front of her. She thought she would experience some obscene things tonight, and she was mentally prepared to endure it as long as it was not too excessive. However, she did not expect that the other party would only let her dance and sing.

"That's not right, right? Someone who buys so many boxes at once wouldn't really use them all to blow up balloons, right?"

After being stunned for a moment, Fujita Kotone took out her cell phone from her pocket, held it in both hands and checked the current time. She found that the door of the academy dormitory was closed, and looked at Izumi in front of her hesitantly.

"Could it be that he knew the time when the dormitory would close and deliberately gave me two choices to let me stay?"

"But... there's nowhere else to go..."

Helpless, Fujita Kotone pursed her soft lips and asked Izumi to take her in for the night.

"Then, the sofa is left to you. I'll go get you a blanket."

"..."

Glancing at the sofa, Fujita Kotone's mood became subtle. Her eyes fell on Izumi, and she watched him enter the bedroom, take out a blanket, and hand it to her. Then she thanked him gently.

The girl's heart was filled with doubts and curiosity. She really wanted to know what Quan was thinking, but she didn't know how to ask. Resisting her curiosity, she slowly lay down on the sofa.

After turning off the lights, Quan stopped as he walked into the bedroom.

"If you can't adapt to the sofa, you can come to the bedroom. I don't mind. After all, you are cute."

"..."

Afterwards, the bedroom door was slowly closed, but there was no closing sound. A ray of warm light from the bedroom spilled into the living room, and Fujita Kotone, who was lying on the sofa, had a confused look on her face.

"I was...praised? But...what does that mean? Are you hinting at me...?"

Staring at the warm light, Fujita Kotone blinked and fell into crazy entanglement and thinking. Her fair and delicate hands tightly grasped the blanket on her body, but she could not muster up the courage to step into the bedroom full of unknowns.

Fujita Kotone, who couldn't guess what Izumi was thinking, suddenly felt mentally exhausted.

Although she received a lot of rewards from Quan, her original physical fatigue was also transferred to her mind. She fell into a dream in a daze due to the unbearable fatigue.

In the early morning, Quan came out of the bedroom and went to the toilet.

On the way back to the bedroom, he saw Fujita Kotone sleeping on the sofa. He walked to her side, pulled up the blanket that had slipped off, covered her again, and then went back to the bedroom.

"..."

The moment the bedroom door was closed, Fujita Kotone opened her eyes. In the dark night, she clutched the blanket tightly, and her mood became more complicated.

"Weird guy..."

Early in the morning, after Quan got up, he saw Fujita Kotone with dark circles under her eyes.

"Is it okay if you don't have any rest?"

"…I'm a little bit attached to my bed."

Fujita Kotone gave a reluctant explanation, but Izumi didn't care. Just when Izumi was about to prepare breakfast, Fujita Kotone said that she could do it and she wanted to prepare today's breakfast.

She knew that Quan was good at cooking, but she also wanted to show her own value in front of Quan.

Izumi was happy to not have to prepare breakfast herself, so she nodded and agreed. Fujita Kotone then got busy, asking Izumi where the ingredients and kitchen utensils were, and started preparing breakfast.

"..."

Sitting on the sofa, watching Kotone Fujita busy at the kitchen counter in an apron, the feeling given to people is somewhat subtle.

It didn't feel like a newlywed couple, but more like seeing a lovely classmate coming to my house to prepare breakfast for me.

"I don't feel like a younger sister at all..."

The figure of his sister Chihaya Aine seemed to appear beside Fujita Kotone, making Izumi see Aine preparing breakfast for him. After the illusion disappeared, Izumi couldn't help but sigh softly.

"As expected, I still want to see Aine prepare breakfast for me personally, but unfortunately..."

Given my sister's personality, she rarely cooks by herself, so asking her to get up early to prepare breakfast is a luxury.

It's not impossible to ask for help, but Quan wouldn't ask his sister for such a thing.

While Izumi's thoughts were drifting away, Fujita Kotone had prepared breakfast and brought it to the dining table. She stood beside Izumi, with her hands clasped, looking at him with a slightly nervous expression, waiting for his evaluation.

Tamagoyaki, fried fish, and miso soup.

"……Well enough."

The taste was slightly inferior to his own cooking, but Quan was not a picky person, so he expressed his approval for the breakfast that Fujita Kotone had worked hard to prepare.

She explained in detail the problems she encountered in handling ingredients and the cooking process, which surprised the girl and made her take careful notes.

……

“A strange smell.”

"Ok?"

At noon, in the library, Izumi suddenly heard Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in his arms, whispering something softly, but he was thinking about what to do after school and didn't hear it clearly for a while.

“…Huh? Ah… nothing.”

Goto Ichiri realized that he seemed to have spoken out his true feelings, and hurriedly covered it up.

"Is Quan also in the apartment today?"

"Well, I'll be back a little later. I have someone to meet."

"I, I know."

After hearing Izumi's answer, Goto Ichiri nodded slightly. After school today, she was going to participate in the band's activities, so she would stay in Tokyo overnight, and the place to rest would naturally be Izumi's apartment.

After deciding what to do after school, the girl turned her attention back to the unfamiliar smell on Quan's body, but after thinking carefully, she couldn't think of who this smell belonged to.

"Isn't it the smell of those girls during the summer camp... other... people I don't know?"

Goto Ichiri, who was sitting in Izumi's arms, suddenly felt complicated. He then adjusted his sitting posture and turned to face Izumi.

"Uh-huh!"

……

"Last time, when I asked Shuangshi to ask you, didn't you say that nothing was wrong?"

In the coffee shop, Ms. Nagasaki looked at the boy sitting opposite her, holding her cup of coffee and whispering, her eyes fixed on the boy's eyes, and she was also a little concerned about the other party's purpose in contacting her and meeting him this time.

"It's not convenient to tell her."

"You can tell me, but you can't tell her?"

Ms. Nagasaki narrowed her eyes and looked at Izumi in front of her, becoming more curious about what the other person wanted to say.

"this."

Izumi, who was sitting opposite, reached out and handed a note to Ms. Nagasaki.

“This is my mother’s contact information.”

"..."

Ms. Nagasaki, whose eyes fell on the note, was stunned for a moment after hearing what Izumi said. She was still doubting Izumi just now, but now she felt a little weird. Her eyes stayed on the note for a moment, and then she looked at the boy in front of her again.

"After meeting Shuangshi, she knew about the relationship between Shuangshi and me. Not long ago, she suddenly said that she wanted to..."

He raised his hand and gestured to Ms. Nagasaki.

"To get to know each other, so we met today. It's not impossible to tell Shuangshi, but it's better to hide it. I'm afraid she will think too much."

"..."

It wasn't just Nagasaki Soyo who thought too much. Ms. Nagasaki herself also had a lot of thoughts in her mind at this moment. Her thoughts were a little confused. It took her a long time to restrain her divergent thoughts. She frowned and looked at Izumi in front of her.

She was a little confused. Even if Quan was dating Shuangshi at the moment, they had only known each other for about half a year. How could the other party's mother have the idea of ​​meeting her?

Even if we meet again after the Chinese New Year, she can understand a little, but meeting now...

But Ms. Nagasaki did not refuse. She reached out and picked up the note on the table. After reading it carefully, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number on the note in front of Quan.

Seeing Ms. Nagasaki's actions, Quan did not try to stop her, nor was it easy for him to do so. He just silently put his hand on his forehead, and then waited quietly for the call to be connected.

"Hey?"

Quan could just barely hear the sound of the phone being connected.

Ms. Nagasaki looked at Izumi, who was sitting opposite her and suddenly covered her face and fell silent, with a faint smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Izumi-kun's girlfriend and Nagasaki Shoyo's mother."

"..."
