I have pure love with them

"It's not a big deal. I just hope for the revival of CRYCHIC, so it's great to be able to help. So there's no need to thank me."

After sending the message, Quan put away his phone, listening to the footsteps coming from the stairs, and stopped looking at the messages on Line.

"I'm ready. Don't you need to change your clothes?"

Chihaya Aine came down the stairs wearing a gray and white plaid corset dress that showed off her slender figure to the fullest.

Chihaya Aine came to the living room again and looked at Izumi, who was still in her school uniform. Her eyes seemed a little suspicious and a little dissatisfied, as if she didn't want Izumi to go out with her in such ordinary clothes.

"Then wait a moment."

Noticing Aine's dissatisfaction, it didn't take much time for Izumi. He carried his schoolbag back to his room, took off his school uniform, and put on simple casual clothes. When he appeared in front of Aine again, the pink-haired girl's eyes stayed on Izumi, staring at her brother for a long time.

"Isn't it appropriate?"

Noticing that Aine's eyes were fixed on him, Izumi walked up to her, spread his arms, and glanced down at his clothes to confirm with her.

"...No, it's nothing. It's you who hasn't told me what I think of the clothes I'm wearing!"

"so cute."

Izumi answered without any need to think, which made Aine stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and hugged Izumi's arm.

"Then, Let's Go!"

Seeing Aine hugging his arms, Izumi acted very calmly and followed Aine out quietly.

Although Izumi doesn't mind showing how much he values ​​his sister in front of others, in front of Aine, he always controls his expressions and reactions very well in order to prevent Aine from feeling annoyed with him.

Therefore, when getting along with Izumi, Aine does not feel any annoyance. Instead, she relies on Izumi, her brother, more than on her parents.

——A victory for psychology!

……

"General relativity states that time slows down under strong gravity. Black holes in space are considered to be the final state of the life cycle of massive stars due to their extremely high density and strong gravity..."

In the dark and narrow closet, the girl curled up her body, staring blankly at the screen of the mobile phone in her hand, which was playing profound content that she could not understand at all.

After returning home from school, Goto Ichiri retreated into her own closet and closed the door. She wanted to watch the video on her mobile phone for a while to make herself forget what she heard at the classroom door, but she couldn't concentrate at all. Before she knew it, she would be distracted and think of what she heard.

"Please accept my..."

The shocking speech by class monitor Akatsuki Kiyoshige was like a loop playing in her mind, constantly impacting her brain.

Even the scenes that she had not witnessed with her own eyes at the time were automatically filled in her mind, as if she saw the perfect class monitor, Akatsuki Koto, bowing and pleading with Chihayazumi.

"Does Ayatsuji-san like Chihaya-san?"

The pink body, which was already curled up into a ball, curled up again. She hugged her knees tightly, and her expression became dull and depressed.

"Speaking of which, Ayatsuji-san is very good. If she and Chihaya-san were to date, they would be a perfect match. They both have good personalities. Chihaya-san and I are just ordinary friends. Even if they date, get married, or have children, it has nothing to do with me. All I can do is to wish them well."

but……

'Why……'

There was always a feeling of unwillingness in her heart. She gently placed her left hand in front of her body, rubbed it, and then pursed her lips.

For some reason, she recalled the song that Chihaya played when she and she first went to RiNG, and she couldn't help but sing it softly.

"Even if what I have is a love that cannot be expressed, will the day come when it is revealed..."

A sad song floated out from the closet, which made Goto Jiri, who was sitting in the room and drawing a pony with crayons, couldn't help but cover his ears.

"Sister, it's so noisy."

83. How could I be a son-biased person?

'Are you going to sleep in your own room tonight?'

At night, Izumi, lying on her bed, waited quietly for a while, and when she found that Aine did not knock on her door, she knew that there would probably be no 'Life Discussion' session tonight.

He closed his eyes and lay on the pillow. There was still a little bit of Aine's scent on the pillow, which probably kept him from having insomnia tonight.

"..."

It seems like I forgot something?

Open your eyes.

Izumi, who was lying on the bed, slowly sat up, picked up his mobile phone, opened Line, and found that Goto Ichiri did not send him a message tonight.

"...No, she has her own things to do. It's normal for her to forget to message me, right? I think I'm the one who's so bothered by the fact that she didn't message me and feels heavy about it..."

He reached out and gently rubbed his hair. Normally, after their last conversation, Goto Ichiri should have sent him a message on time every night.

"Did...something happen?"

The first reason that comes to mind is the other party’s poor test scores.

It was normal that she felt inferior because of her poor grades and was unable to cheer herself up to send him a message, but Quan felt that it was not that simple.

"I already knew that she had poor grades, and there was no reason for her to feel inferior because of it, so... other reasons..."

His mind suddenly recalled the person outside the classroom when Ayatsuji Ci was "pleading" with him.

I didn't see who it was at the time, but judging from the sound of the footsteps as she left, it should be a girl.

"..."

What a coincidence.

He clearly saw Goto Ichiri leave the school, and after she left the school, she walked around the school before returning to the classroom to meet Ayatsuji Ci. How could he just happen to run into Goto Ichiri who was returning to the classroom?

"So the current situation is that she probably heard the conversation between me and Ci Ayatsuji outside the classroom door, and heard her terrible lines, and misunderstood the relationship between Ci Ayatsuji and me, which led to her not knowing how to send me a message now..."

His eyes fell on the mobile phone in his hand and the opened Line. Quan's frown gradually relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

……

"Beep, beep, beep..."

Disliked by his sister, Goto Ichiri stopped singing. He was like a fish that had come ashore. He had dull eyes and curled up in the corner of the closet, opening and closing his mouth from time to time, his mind in a mess.

'After Chihaya and Ayatsuji get married, they will definitely have a child, right? Should I apply for a nanny job to help Chihaya and Ayatsuji take care of the child? What will the child call me when he grows up?'

Strange thoughts were floating in her mind. She was even thinking that if she couldn't be with Quan in this life, would they have a chance to become friends again in the next life.

"Friends for life... Chihaya-san said this to me in person. You will not break your promise, right? Ayatsuji-san...will you become an obstacle between Chihaya-san and me?"

As if a dark shadow was covering her, Goto Ichiri, who was hiding in the corner, let out a strange laugh.

"Hey, hey hey..."

hum.

The cell phone suddenly vibrated and the screen emitted a flash of white light, which briefly illuminated the originally dark closet. Goto Ichiri, who was laughing strangely, suddenly froze his expression on his face and his heart almost stopped beating.

“…You scared me…Wha…what was that light just now?”

Goto Ichiri's expression suddenly returned to normal, and he hesitated and picked up his cell phone.

"Advertisement? Or maybe the subscription has expired?"

The white and tender fingers gently touched the screen, and a bright white light appeared on the screen, making the originally dark closet bright again.

"Come to think of it, there's no need to subscribe to Nico membership anymore, right? There aren't that many viewers, and it's been eliminated by the times..."

Goto Ichiri whispered softly, looked at the screen, clicked on the unread message, but unexpectedly found that it was from Line, and it was from Chihaya Izumi. Her expression suddenly became nervous.

“Ah… Oops, oops, I forgot to send a message to Chihaya-san… What should I do…”

Immersed in the shock of what Ayatsuji said to Izumi, Goto Ichiri completely forgot about other things. Now, when she suddenly saw that Izumi had sent her a message, she became nervous instead. She clicked on the message and her body suddenly froze.

"You were peeking, right, Goto-san? After school, outside the classroom door."

Accompanied by a 'smiling' emoticon, Goto Ichiri felt as if he was kissed by the flaming red lips of a strange dragon and felt creepy.

"Were you discovered?!"

Goto Ichiri, who was covered with goosebumps, lowered his head and stared at the screen, his hands trembling slightly, and he felt suffocated as if he was entangled by a python.

Izumi, lying on the bed, sent a message to Goto Ichiri. After a brief test, he received a reply from Goto Ichiri not long after waiting. The string of characters made Izumi stunned.

"I'm sorry, Chihaya-san. I didn't know you and Ayatsuji-san were in the classroom. I just forgot to take my test paper back, so... I didn't tell anyone about you and Ayatsuji-san... I'll pretend I knew nothing."

He just made a basic attack, and before he used any skills, he had already revealed Goto Ichiri's secrets... cough, Goto Ichiri had completely revealed all his secrets.

"I didn't tell anyone..."

But you have to have someone to tell first.

"Is it really her? Well... it's a good thing it's her. Ayatsuji-san is very lucky. Every time she encounters a bad thing, she meets a kind person."

He picked up the fallen black notebook and didn't tell anyone.

The person who heard her terrible speech this time happened to be Goto Ichiri. If someone else had picked up the notebook and heard her speech, her student life would have been over.

"Let's put all that aside for now. So the reason she didn't send me a message was because she heard what Ayatsuji said?"

Izumi seemed to be daydreaming for a while. He stared at Line for a while, then typed a long paragraph to explain the situation to Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri knelt in front of her cell phone, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly, waiting for the merciful Chihaya to forgive her offense.

hum.

The message alert sounded, and Goto Ichiri cautiously opened one eye and glanced at the screen.

"Ok?"

After a quick glance at Quan's reply, it seemed that the other party did not intend to blame her.

She opened her eyes at the same time, picked up her phone, and carefully read the message sent by Quan -

84. Is there a problem with the role positioning?

She teased Ayatsuji Ci because she had some purpose in contacting him, and Ayatsuji Ci herself was strong-willed, so she wouldn't care even if he teased her.

But Goto Ichiri's situation is a bit special. She is already very sensitive and fragile mentally. If Izumi teases her as a 'friend', I'm afraid her spirit will be greatly hurt. Don't let Goto Ichiri be unable to get over it and regret it for the rest of his life.
