I have pure love with them

Mrs. Chihaya reminisced and thought about her first meeting with Goto Ichiri.

"She seems a bit introverted, but she's quite talkative. She said nice things to her the moment we met. Your father and I both like her very much."

"Eh? Before I... came back?"

Noticing the problems in her mother's speech, Chihaya Aine looked at her mother with some surprise and confusion.

"Didn't Quan tell you? Before you came back, he invited a girl to stay overnight at our house. But they weren't dating, so they didn't sleep in the same room. He borrowed your room for a while."

"..."

As if she knew something extraordinary, Chihaya Aine frowned slightly, looked at her brother, and then smiled.

"So that's how it is~ It turns out that before I met her, she and Quan were already on such a good terms. They weren't dating, but it was rare for a girl to be willing to stay at a boy's house. Are they dating?"

"No."

"Eh? Is it really okay to invite a girl to your home without dating her and let her stay in your sister's room?"

The atmosphere became subtle, and Mrs. Chihaya also noticed that her daughter seemed to be a little emotionally unwell. She realized that she might have said something wrong, glanced at her son who was quietly having breakfast, coughed lightly, cleared her tableware, and left the table.

"Don't worry, I cleaned your room thoroughly after she left."

"How many times have you been to my room while I was gone?"

After her mother left, Chihaya Aine could no longer maintain her smile. She stared at Izumi with a dissatisfied look on her face and began her own interrogation.

"How many times? I forget. Anyway, when I miss you, I will go to your room to check on you."

"..."

It's very subtle, my mood suddenly became a little better, but I still feel a little dissatisfied.

"Why didn't you ask me first?"

"I sent you a message, but you also responded very late, and it was a last-minute decision, so I didn't have time to ask you."

"..."

The time difference between the two countries is indeed a big problem, but even so, the thought of Quan letting a girl live in his room when he is not at home is still a big problem.

Even though she had no problem with Goto Ichiri, the fact that she allowed a girl to live in her room was undoubtedly Izumi's fault.

"Even if that's the case, it's Quan's fault."

"Well."

"Wow~ What a bad attitude."

Izumi, who had also finished her breakfast, slowly raised her head and looked at Aine who was sitting opposite her.

"Then let me talk about you wearing my shirt and drinking my—"

“Well! It’s over, it’s over! We should look to the longer term future!”

Seeing that Izumi was about to bring up her past embarrassment, Aine decisively interrupted his chanting, clasped her hands in front of her, and had an expression that said 'I have grown up'.

Seeing that Aiyin took the initiative to admit her mistake and did not pursue the matter any further, Quan slowly closed his eyes.

"Well, I did do something inappropriate. If conditions permit, I can agree to a small request from you."

He was about to grumble quietly and complain about Izumi's love, but after hearing what Izumi said, his expression suddenly brightened up.

"Really? Izumi Love~"

125. Do you still want me to prove it to you?

"What are you looking at? Do you know anyone?"

On the way to school, Chihaya Aine noticed that Izumi's eyes were not on her. She followed Izumi's gaze and looked around. Then her eyes fell steadily on Izumi, with a puzzled look on her face.

Izumi was thinking about whether it was possible to meet Toyokawa Shoko, but after hearing Aine's words, her gaze fell steadily on her sister.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Aine’s shoulder, picked up a strand of her long pink hair, and after kneading it into a ball between his fingertips, he flicked it away.

"No."

"I felt you were a little absent-minded since you left. You came back so late yesterday afternoon. What on earth did you do?"

Chihaya Aine still seemed very concerned about what happened yesterday.

“Just met up with people I knew and talked about some things.”

"Which aspect?"

Chihaya Aine moved closer to Izumi, and then looked at her curiously. She had a strong curiosity about Izumi's affairs. Although she had cared about Izumi's affairs in the past, it was not as obvious as it was now.

'It seems that living alone outside has also made her more attached to her family... which isn't a bad thing.'

At least in Quan's opinion, it's not a bad thing.

"emotion."

"Has a girl confessed to you?"

"Well."

It is true that a girl confessed to him, but that girl was not Nagasaki Soyo.

What Nagasaki Soushi said to him when they were in RiNG could not be called a confession at all. One could not feel the other party's "sincerity" at all. It was more like those guys who picked up people on the street.

From another perspective, it is like a person who has a crush on someone, but cannot contact that person. So in order to get closer to that person, he deliberately confesses to the person next to that person, trying to get closer to that person in other ways.

"I almost became a pure boy in high school whose feelings were played with. Alas, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are no longer the same, Nagasaki Shoshi... a woman with a lot of sins."

Aiyin followed beside Quan and paid attention to his expression. Seeing Quan's answer was a little nonchalant, she knew that Quan did not accept his confession and felt relieved.

"I always feel like you have no interest in love at all... Are you not interested in girls?"

Chihaya Aine used her little brain to think about it carefully and found that her brother seemed to be quite easy-going towards the girls around him.

It's not that she thinks there's anything wrong with an easygoing attitude, it's just that most boys will have some blushing and shyness when facing girls. But since he was a child, her brother doesn't seem to have this kind of emotion, and he is very easygoing in the face of many things.

So, she, who had been studying in the UK for less than two months, remembered a cultural phenomenon that was quite popular in the UK. When she looked at Quan again, she asked a question that seemed to be very likely.

"I am very interested in love, but I am not interested in ordinary love. Unless you are terminally ill or have a tragic life experience, there is no point in falling in love with an ordinary girl, right?"

"..."

Looking at her brother beside her, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.

A cool, white, slender hand fell on Izumi's forehead, and Chihaya Aine looked at her brother with a strange look.

"Head... is everything okay?"

"Do you think something is wrong?"

"Isn't it that the thing that's wrong is that there's nothing wrong?"

Chihaya Aine couldn't help but sigh. She felt deeply helpless. She didn't expect that her brother had such a unique concept of love.

"Then you don't like...Mio?!"

After a moment's silence, Chihaya Aine suddenly thought of a girl next to her who seemed to meet Izumi's requirements. She was the girl who lost her father in a car accident two years ago and also lost the ability to walk.

After hearing Mio's name from Aine's mouth, Izumi was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his shocked sister and remained silent for a while.

"Forget it. I think it's okay for her to misunderstand me like this."

Seeing her brother looking at her but not saying anything in response, Chihaya Aine was suddenly more certain of her brother's "preferences" and her expression became even more nervous.

"Mio, she's only 13, right? She's only a first-year middle school student!"

"It's great that he's not an elementary school student."

“That’s not good!”

With Chihaya Aine's persuasion all the way, the two reached the parting intersection. Izumi gently waved goodbye to his sister who suddenly became nervous and talkative.

"Wait... Come home early today, I want to have a good time with you--"

Aine on the train disappeared in front of Izumi as the train started. Izumi, who was standing alone on the platform, shrugged his shoulders helplessly as he watched Aine leave.

“Well, I just wonder if this misunderstanding will make Aine go visit Mio. If Aine is willing to go see Mio, then there’s nothing wrong with this misunderstanding.”

He is alone and has his own things to do, so he can't visit Mio often, but if Aine is willing to see Mio, it can make Mio feel warmer and not so lonely.

'Today I'm going to meet Toyokawa Shoko and ask her to sign my sketch. I can go see Mio at the same time. After visiting Mio, I'll go see Toyokawa Shoko... She'll be back from work at night, right?'

Shoko Toyokawa has her own life and needs to work to make a living, so it is impossible for him to wait for her at her doorstep after school in Yuqiu. He still has to wait a while. Considering the longest working time and time limit of high school students, as well as the last time he met Shoko Toyokawa, it is not difficult for Izumi to infer the time when she will go home.

"Mio... well."

His eyes fell on his own skill points. He had indeed invested a lot of points in medicine, but they were basically focused on "psychology" and did not involve much in "neurology".

"Treatment?"

While thinking, Quan walked towards the school.

Today, however, he was not stopped by Kita Ikuyo on the road, and there was no letter in the shoe cabinet. He walked all the way to the classroom smoothly, which made Quan feel that today was a little too peaceful.

Then, his eyes fell on Xuanji Ci.

"Will I be able to see Ayatsuji-san's cute reaction in the next test? I'm really looking forward to it~"

Akatsuki Ki was talking to others about the skin care products she was using recently when she suddenly felt a chill on her back. She turned around and met Izumi's smiling eyes. She felt uncomfortable and a little doubtful at the same time.

'What is he looking at me for?'

126. She only needs to open her mouth slightly

"Has Aine mastered the basics of guitar now?"

"Yes, Aine has a very good memory, so it only took her a short while to remember what I said, and she has already mastered some basic playing methods."

Every day at noon, without the other students knowing, Izumi and I met in this library.

Goto Ichiri didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, but after knowing how her relationship with Izumi looked in the eyes of other classmates, she always feels nervous unconsciously and inexplicably shy inside, not daring to look at the person next to her.

"Well, she did perform with the guitar when she was in middle school, but she just copied the movements from the teaching video. She has no idea about the basics of guitar. Now she suddenly wants to form a band, but it's just a spur of the moment idea. If she invites you, remember to reject her. You can have a brighter future. There's no need to waste your precious time on her."

Although Aine did form a band later on, it was basically formed with the support of Takamatsu Tomori and Nagasaki Soyo, and among the people in this band, Aine was considered a normal person, while the others had some personality issues.
