I have pure love with them

Facing the dissatisfaction shown by Izumi, Aine’s eyes became vague.

"Well... I know you can play the guitar, but if you were to teach me, you would definitely be strict, right?"

Aine, who grew up with Izumi, often received tutoring from Izumi. For example, in terms of schoolwork, she had some talent, and she could quickly understand and master it when Izumi tutored her. But in other aspects... like the painting she had learned, when she did not perform well, Izumi would become serious and become like the rumored 'devil teacher', showing no mercy to her.

Therefore, Aine rarely asks Izumi for advice on matters other than academics.

Facing Aine’s evasive gaze, Izumi, who knew the reason, couldn’t help but frown.

"Then do you want to join the band with your current level, lower the level of the band, and be criticized by other band members?"

"It's not that serious... It's just forming a band, and it doesn't mean we have to form a band now..."

Izumi's voice didn't have any emotion, but it made Aiyin feel guilty. Her eyes were erratic, and her hand fell on Izumi's wrist, wanting Izumi to let go of her cheek that was held. The thought of 'avoiding' was almost written on her face.

113. So that we can have common topics

Although Aine is proactive, caring, and thoughtful in character, she also has some aspects that make Quan feel helpless, such as at this moment.

"So do you want to learn guitar?"

Releasing his hands that were cupping her cheeks, Izumi stepped back slightly, keeping a distance from Aine, but psychologically this put more pressure on her, causing the girl sitting on the chair to place her hands on her knees and lower her head, not daring to look directly into Izumi's eyes for a moment.

"I just want to have more common ground with other students in the class. I don't necessarily want to join a band. I just want to learn some basic knowledge."

Looking at Aine in front of him, who had not yet been pressured by Shiina Riki and whose attitude was not "correct", Izumi thought for a moment and decided that there was no need to put too much pressure on Aine at the moment, and he could just let Shiina Riki play the bad guy.

"I understand. Then... let Yili teach you."

Hearing that Izumi’s attitude softened, Aine, who had her head lowered, was still a little bit unconvinced. She raised her head in surprise and looked at Izumi who had given up on lecturing her.

"But... doesn't she have other things to do..."

"It doesn't take long to teach you the basics. The key is to practice day after day so that your body remembers how to play. Generally speaking, it takes one or two months to get started."

After sending a message to Goto Ichiri on Line, asking if he had arrived home, I soon received a reply from Goto Ichiri.

[I've returned home]

Perhaps it was because Izumi was the only one who would send her messages, every time Izumi sent a message to Goto Ichiri, she would always receive a reply from Goto Ichiri within a very short time.

After looking at the message sent by Goto Ichiri and confirming that she had arrived home, Izumi asked her again if they could have a video call.

Sitting in front of the computer desk, Aine had already taken off her slippers. Thinking of Izumi's attitude just now, she felt annoyed all of a sudden. She put her feet on Izumi's chair, hugged her knees with her hands, squatted on the chair, and watched Izumi and Goto Ichiri communicating.

"Just now, you called me 'Yili', right? Has the relationship progressed?"

Recalling that Izumi had been calling Goto Ichiri "Goto-san", Chihaya Aine felt a strange sense of discomfort when she used the name "Ichiri".

Even though she was the one who brought up this matter earlier, she now found it hard to accept that Izumi and Goto Ichiri had become closer.

"Will you continue dating after this?"

Once Quan has a date, it will be difficult for him to accompany her during the holidays, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see him after school.

The two of them grew up together. The only time they were apart for a long time was the month she went abroad to study. During that time, she relied on the emails Izumi sent her to barely support herself. Now if Izumi was with someone else...

Izumi, who was communicating with Goto Ichiri, suddenly felt something stepping on his back. He turned around and looked behind him, and saw Aine sitting on the chair, raising her right foot with a dissatisfied look on her face, stepping on his back.

"what happened again?"

"No... I just suddenly feel bad, you... forget it, it's nothing."

As if she wanted to say something but hesitated, Aine took back her right foot and placed it on the upper of her slippers. She tapped her toes lightly, and the seat under her began to sway from side to side.

"..."

Looking at Aine's reaction, Quan was thinking whether her kick just now would leave some smell on his back.

'Wash it in the evening.'

At the same time, he lowered his head to glance at Goto Ichiri's reply, then walked to the computer, and after a few simple operations, he turned his head to look at Aine who was sitting in his chair.

"I'll have a video call with Yili soon. She can communicate with you through video."

"……Um."

Izumi, whose sister disliked him for being too serious in teaching, had no choice but to let Goto Ichiri teach her. By then, even if she was scolded and cried by Shiina Riki, it would have nothing to do with him. He had already done everything he could.

After informing Aine, Izumi confirmed that there were no other problems and sent a video invitation to Goto Ichiri. Since he had informed her in advance, the video was quickly connected.

"Hello, Izumi-san and Aine."

Sitting upright in front of the video camera, Goto Ichiri looked at the Chihaya siblings on the screen with some restraint.

Originally, she wanted to call her only friend at the moment "Izumi", but when she noticed that Chihaya Aine was next to Izumi, she added "classmate".

"Good afternoon, Yili. I hope I'm not causing you any trouble?"

Looking at Goto Ichiri on the screen, Izumi smiled at the girl on the screen and asked her about the situation.

"No, no, I just got home. Izumi-san didn't cause any trouble... Um, why did you let me do a video call? Is there something wrong?"

Ever since Izumi became a friend of LINE, the two have been communicating by sending messages. This is the first time for them to video chat, which made Goto Ichiri feel novel but also a little nervous, as he felt that it must be something very important.

On the other side of the screen, Izumi, after hearing what Goto Ichiri said, glanced at Aine from the corner of his eyes, and seeing that she had put down her feet from the chair and was sitting quietly beside her, he pursed his lips slightly and then told her what he wanted to ask of her.

"Actually, I have something to ask of you. Aine wants to learn guitar and hopes someone can teach her, so I would like to trouble you, Ichiri, to teach her some guitar skills."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri was stunned, not being able to understand what Izumi meant.

Mingming Quan is also very good at guitar. Is there a need for her to teach?

"Izumi-san...is that not possible?"

"I'm not very good at teaching. After all, I've only been learning for a short time. Aine saw your skills at the last party and thought you were amazing, so she wants you to teach her guitar. Is that okay?"

Seeing that Izumi asked her for help, it was difficult for Goto Ichiri to refuse. It would be more accurate to say that she had no reason to refuse.

"Of course I can...but I've never taught anyone before, is that okay?"

Izumi didn’t answer and looked at Aine who was beside him.

Chihaya Aine also knew that she had to speak now, so she took the initiative to speak to Goto Ichiri on the screen.

"I have learned some guitar before. After seeing Ichiri's performance last time, I knew that Ichiri is very good and I don't need to be taught from scratch. I hope Ichiri can help point out my current shortcomings and help me improve. Quan is also very good, but I want to have more topics to talk about with you, Ichiri, who is also a girl."

"..."

Killer.

All the previous contents seemed extremely empty, but Aine's last sentence, 'I want to have more common language with Ichiri', made Izumi stunned. He didn't expect her to say such a shameless thing, but Goto Ichiri just fell for it!

114. I'm going to kill you

Even through the screen, one could see that Goto Ichiri's expression became light and happy, and she really enjoyed the praise and compliments from Chihaya Aine.

Poor Goto Ichiri was played around by the inherently evil Chihaya Aine.

Although he was still a little hesitant in his heart, facing the "goodwill" shown to him by Chihaya Aine, Goto Ichiri felt that he had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and agreed, humbly saying that he would do his best, then communicated with Aine for a while and hung up the video.

"I'm going back to my room."

Turning her head to look at Izumi, Chihaya Aine's eyes flickered for a moment, and she prepared to go back to her room to video chat with Goto Ichiri again.

It would be fine to stay in Izumi's room, but she was already starting to feel embarrassed just imagining the scene in her mind, accepting Goto Ichiri's instructions in front of Izumi.

"Don't embarrass her."

Izumi, who knew her sister and Goto Ichiri's personalities, could well imagine what would happen when Goto Ichiri gave Aine instructions.

When Goto Ichiri explained some difficult techniques and some content that required long-term training, Aine would probably say something like "Eh~ Isn't there an easier way?" which would make people angry. Even if Goto Ichiri couldn't accept it in his heart, he would still force himself to smile and try to give an answer that would satisfy Aine.

"I wouldn't do anything like that. Why would I embarrass her?"

Aine, who had already slipped her feet into slippers and stood up, could not help but frown after hearing Izumi's speech favoring Goto Ichiri. She walked in front of Izumi, met his gaze, and asked with dissatisfaction.

"You may just be complaining a little, but it may also cause her great mental pressure. Try to refrain from saying things like 'Hey, is there any way to make things easier?'"

"Wow...you care about her that much? You've even considered something like this?"

Aine curled her lips slightly, and she was obviously dissatisfied.

"Because she is mentally fragile, I just want you to be careful. I am here to teach you guitar. If you don't want to, you should still respect the other person when you ask for help, right?"

“…Well, I understand.”

She replied in a muffled voice. She didn't want to hear Quan's answer at all. She withdrew her gaze, turned around and left the room in annoyance.

Snapped--

The moment the door was closed, there was a loud noise.

Quan, who was standing in the house, frowned slightly. Aine's mood has been unstable recently.

"The reason why I failed to study abroad... is probably because of me and Goto Ichiri."

It's not surprising. After suffering setbacks while studying abroad, she returned home and found that her brother, who used to only have eyes for her, was now very close to other girls and was also sharing the care that originally belonged to her. It would be wrong if she didn't have any emotional fluctuations.

He could understand Aine's current situation, but the act of slamming the door just now still seemed a bit rude, which made Quan think about how to adjust his attitude towards Aine in the next period of time.

It may seem cute if a cute sister occasionally loses her temper, but if a sister you live with day and night loses her temper every day, it is something that most people cannot bear.

Like ≠ indulge

As an older brother, he also has to maintain his dignity in his sister's heart.

While thinking about Aine, Quan sat down in his chair, facing the computer screen where the call had ended, and with his hand holding the mouse, he subconsciously clicked on his social account, wanting to take a look at his account and see how many followers it currently had.

After finishing his work with Toki Kenjiro and Hashima Itsuki, he now has time to continue updating his own account and drawing what he wants to draw.

"I kind of want to draw a picture of Ms. Nagasaki kneeling down in shock..."

After a short loading time, the account page refreshed in front of him. The first thing that caught Quan's attention was the unread text messages. He clicked on those unread messages, and a message from Dongyun Huiming attracted Quan's attention.

"Well?"

Some time ago, he thought that the other party might not pay attention to him anymore. When he saw Dongyun Huiming replied to his message, he subconsciously clicked on it.
