I have pure love with them

Izumi, who was lying on the sofa, was about to get up, but the person who moved faster than him was Aine, who was leaning on her.

Aiyin, who was wearing pajamas, relied on the advantage of leaning on Quan. When Quan was about to stand up, she stretched out her hand and pressed Quan's body, pushing him down, and hurriedly ran towards the door.

Aine, who was particularly concerned about the girl invited by Izumi to tutor her at home, showed amazing mobility at this moment. She ran to the door before Izumi could react, and with a bit of complicated feelings, she opened the door and looked outside.

"Eh?"

After opening the door, a touch of pink came into her eyes, and then she saw the cute face of a girl with long pink hair standing at the door. She was so surprised that she forgot to speak for a moment.

"Good morning, Chi... morning... eh?"

Goto Ichiri was standing at the door, pressing the doorbell. He was thinking about how to greet Izumi's parents if he saw them again, when the door in front of him suddenly opened.

Goto Ichiri, who was surprised in his heart, relied on his experience of having simulated it dozens of times on the road, and spoke the lines that had become instinctive. At the same time, his eyes noticed the flowing and soft pink hair while she said the greeting.

"Is Chihaya-san's hair that long?"

While she was puzzled, she saw a cute and pretty girl's face that was three-quarters similar to Chihaya Izumi, and then her thoughts went into a "crash" state.

The two of them stared at each other, both in a daze, feeling surprised and bewildered by the scene before them that was beyond their expectations.

Although she had learned from Quan that the visitor would be a girl, Aine had never expected that the girl would be so cute. Especially the temperament she exuded, like a pet hamster, cute and harmless, which was the type Aine liked in interpersonal communication.

"I really want to raise one...ah! This kind of thing is really impossible."

Thinking that the other person was a normal person like herself, Chihaya Aine came to her senses, and the light returned to her eyes. She stared at the girl in front of her, smiling and taking the initiative to greet her.

"Hello, are you the classmate that Quan mentioned?"

Goto Ichiri was surprised that the person who opened the door was a girl, and a girl who looked like Izumi. Thinking that Izumi had a younger sister, but was studying abroad, he couldn't help but wonder if the girl in front of him was Izumi wearing women's clothes and a wig, until she spoke.

The cheerful and energetic voice was obviously different from Izumi's steady and lazy voice. It was this obvious difference that shattered Goto Ichiri's fantasy.

Faced with the other person's bright and sunny smile, Goto Ichiri subconsciously turned his head away, making the autistic reaction unique to the "yin corner" facing the "yang corner", and did not dare to look directly at the sunny and cheerful high school girl in front of him.

"Y-yes...um...Chihaya-san, are you home?"

Goto Ichiri, who knows Chihaya Izumi and trusts her, has no idea about Izumi's sister. While he is nervous, he is looking forward to Izumi's appearance to rescue her.

"He has been waiting for you in the living room for a long time. Please come in."

Facing the harmless and cute Goto Ichiri, Chihaya Aine did not have any special thoughts and took the initiative to invite him into the house.

Goto Ichiri stood at the door, looking at the door in front of him. It was obviously open but seemed to be covered with a layer of light smoke. Once he entered, he would face a BOSS-level enemy, and his heart was trembling.

'A haggard heart, a wavering gaze...'

For some reason, Goto Ichiri thought of the lyrics of the song he liked sung by Izumi, which should be the most appropriate to describe her now.

She clenched the handbag containing the souvenirs in both hands, mustered up her courage, took a step forward, lowered her head and walked into the house.

"Please come in."

Looking at the girl who was shrinking a little, Chihaya Aine, who did nothing, felt as if she had bullied the other person.

'Did I behave disrespectfully in some way?'

Aine, who was puzzled, showed a gentler attitude.

"My name is Chihaya Aine. To distinguish me from Izumi, just call me Aine. What's your name?"

"Go-Goto Ichiri."

"A person? It's a very special name."

After hearing the name Goto Ichiri, Aiyin was stunned. She didn't expect someone to be called by that name.

"Hmm, ha..."

Goto Ichiri, who was aware of the 'uniqueness' of his name, smiled awkwardly.

Under Aine's guidance, Goto Ichiri followed her into the living room, where he saw Chihaya Izumi sitting on the sofa. Goto Ichiri, who had only taken a few steps, exuded a sense of relief as if he had crossed the Sahara Desert.

90. Black tea without additives

"Good morning, Chihaya-san."

Goto Ichiri, who didn't know how to get along with Chihaya Aion, greeted Izumi hurriedly after seeing her. She wanted Izumi to notice her presence, but also wanted to end the conversation with Chihaya Aion.

Although the other party's attitude was very enthusiastic and he didn't do anything excessive to her, his overly dazzling personality in her eyes made it difficult for her to adapt.

Although she always fantasized in her heart that she could attract other people's attention and become the center of attention, but if she were really put under the spotlight, she felt that she would melt under the gaze of others in less than a second...

Izumi was sitting on the sofa waiting for Goto Ichiri to arrive. When she saw Goto Ichiri entering the living room, she was about to speak, but Goto Ichiri who entered the living room spoke first.

That look as if he had grasped a life-saving straw made Izumi look towards Aine, but he found that Aine was looking at Goto Ichiri with a smile, her eyes full of curiosity, and she was very interested in Goto Ichiri.

"Good morning, Goto-san. Please sit down for a while. You must be a little tired after such a long journey."

Standing up, Izumi stretched out his hand and gestured towards the sofa, suggesting that Goto Ichiri sit down in the living room, while he turned around to pour her some water.

Before Goto Ichiri could speak, Aine, who was standing next to her, came over to her side and invited her to sit on the sofa for a while. Unable to resist Aine's enthusiasm, Goto Ichiri was pulled to the sofa and then sat with Aine.

"…Um, this is a gift prepared by my father and mother. Please accept it."

When Izumi poured the tea and brought it to Goto Ichiri, Goto Ichiri handed the souvenirs he had been holding all the way to Izumi.

"Can I take a look?"

Faced with the souvenir handed over by Goto Ichiri, Izumi was slightly surprised and asked the girl with a smile.

"Of course. Actually, I am also a little curious about what souvenirs my father and mother prepared..."

Feeling the gazes on him, Goto Ichiri passively entered social phobia mode and spoke his thoughts intermittently.

"Then I won't be polite."

Although it is not a custom, when visiting someone's home, people who don't know what gift to prepare often choose Japanese confectionery as souvenirs.

Giving food as souvenirs not only shows your thoughtfulness, but also rarely results in waste. The host can also use wagashi to entertain the guests and everyone can taste the wagashi together. So when Izumi saw Goto Ichiri taking out the souvenirs, he subconsciously thought that Goto Ichiri had chosen wagashi as a souvenir, just like he did when he visited the Goto family.

"Is Goto-san in the same class as Izumi?"

"Yes."

When Izumi was getting the souvenirs, Aine asked Goto Ichiri about her relationship with Izumi, but since it was their first meeting, Aine only asked a few questions, such as how they knew each other and why they became friends.

I took out the souvenir from my handbag. It was a square gift box wrapped in a furoshiki, which looked like a Japanese confectionery.

He untied the outer layer of furoshiki, revealing a quiet and beautiful lacquerware. He gently lifted the lid and saw the objects inside the lacquerware. Izumi was confused at first, but soon he thought of something and his expression became subtle and strange. He couldn't help but glance at Goto Ichiri, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"what happened?"

Aine, who was talking to Goto Ichiri, noticed from the corner of her eye that her brother untied the furoshiki, opened the lid, then suddenly closed it again and wrapped up the opened furoshiki without saying a word.

"Um... the gift is not what you want?"

Seeing Izumi's actions, Goto Ichiri suddenly became nervous and looked at Izumi with anxious eyes.

Izumi wrapped the furoshiki again and gently placed his hands on it. Facing the two girls' questions, he thought silently for a moment and considered his words.

"No...it's not a question of whether it suits my taste or not. The souvenirs were prepared by Goto-san's parents, right?"

"Yes……"

"It feels like a very valuable gift... Or maybe it's just my misunderstanding. When Goto-san returns, please tell your uncle and aunt 'it's too early'."

Goto Ichiri nodded in confusion, while Chihaya Aine sat up slightly. Her originally curious eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle's. She stared at the complicated expression on Izumi's face, and had a vague guess in her heart.

After expressing her gratitude to Goto Ichiri, Izumi accepted the gift and put it away. Then she invited Goto Ichiri to her room to help her with her homework.

"I also want!"

When Chihaya Aine heard that her brother was going to invite a girl into his room, her expression suddenly changed and she raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to follow along.

"...I don't mind. Just treat it as a preparation for your entrance exam. Goto-san, do you mind if Aine comes along?"

admission.

Goto Ichiri looked at Chihaya Aine with some confusion, but in response to Izumi's question, she quickly shook her head.

"do not mind!"

She didn't dare to imagine what kind of suspicion she would be exposed for being alone with Izumi in a room with her sister at home. Even though she preferred to be alone with Izumi, after her sister spoke, she didn't think she had any reason to refuse.

"Then let's go to my room together. Aine, take Goto-san to my room and I'll pour some tea and bring it up."

"Well, come on, Ichiri!"

Goto Ichiri, who was suddenly called by her name, was unable to react for a moment. When she noticed that Aine was looking at her, she realized that the other person had not just said 'a person' but called her name 'Ichiri'.

"Huh? You called my name directly?"

"One mile?"

Aine, who had already stood up, turned around to look at Goto Ichiri who didn’t respond and seemed to be distracted, and called her name again.

The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and Goto Ichiri's expression seemed to melt. In Aine's eyes, there was a feeling of excitement and happiness that made her feel light and happy.

“Ah… yes!”

Goto Ichiri also stood up and followed Chihaya Aine towards the stairs, while Izumi took three other cups and poured black tea into each one.

“…It seems like something is missing.”

Looking at the black tea he had poured, it was a pity that it did not contain any sleep-aiding additives.

"But it doesn't matter. For Goto-san, the content she doesn't understand is the best sleep aid. I don't know how long she can hold on today."

Quan carried the tray and walked towards the stairs.

91. The three pink-haired siblings

The fact was just as Izumi expected. Half an hour after entering Izumi's room, Goto Ichiri fell into a drowsy state.

Overworking his brain and being constantly assaulted by content he didn't understand made Goto Ichiri shake his head. After a while, he would probably fall asleep on the table.

'Um? '

Aine, who also has pink hair, looked at the sleepy Goto Ichiri and looked at Izumi with a puzzled look, her eyes revealing a sense of confusion as to 'how could he fall asleep after such a simple content?'
