I have pure love with them

"so so."

"So, do you want to form a band with me?!"

She mustered up her courage, and after learning that the girl in front of her was a bassist and would not compete with her for the guitar and lead vocals, the fire that had just been extinguished in Aine's heart burned again, and she extended an invitation to the young lady in front of her.

A classmate of Takamatsu Tomo and the younger sister of Chihaya Izumi.

"sure."

After hearing the invitation from the other party, Nagasaki Shoyo agreed without thinking too much.

"But, I will just be a substitute member for now."

Being able to understand the movements of Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Izumi at the same time, Nagasaki Shoyo felt that there was nothing wrong with agreeing to join the band of the girl in front of her. From what she knew, the girl might not even have all the members gathered yet.

"It's enough for me to stay beside her as a backup member... I only belong to one band, and I will never... let it end."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was suddenly relieved, Nagasaki Shoyo whispered to himself in his heart.

137. I'm stealing the tower, what about you?

After spending some time with Hiroto Shioyama in the game hall, when it was almost time to meet with Nagasaki Soyo, Izumi explained the situation to Hiroto Shioyama and prepared to leave.

"Are you leaving so soon?"

"After all, we have agreed to meet each other first. See you at school tomorrow."

Hiroto Shioyama was somewhat immersed in the games in the arcade. After hearing that Izumi was going back, he looked at the noisy arcade reluctantly, and then shrugged slightly.

"Well, that's alright, I'll go back too."

He really wanted to stay and continue playing the game, but after Quan left, there was no point in him being the only one here, so he simply left with Quan.

"Won't you stay a little longer?"

Izumi picked up the schoolbag on the ground, casually hung it on his shoulder, and his eyes fell on Hiroto Shioyama.

"It's boring to be alone, why don't you go back and catch up on the game progress."

"That's true. If you don't play games now, you will have to face exploitation from your evil bosses when you enter society, and you won't have time to play games anymore."

"Woo wow, forget it, I don't want to understand the darkness of society now, let me immerse myself in this carefree happiness for a short time!"

Hiroto Shioyama also picked up his schoolbag, and after hearing Izumi's "horror story", he sighed and couldn't help shaking his head. He followed Izumi's footsteps out of the game hall and pointed in a direction.

"I'm going that way. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'm going that way. See you tomorrow."

The two people who were going home in different directions waved to each other and then separated. Hiroto Shioyama went in the opposite direction of when he came, while Izumi went in the same direction as when he came, towards the subway station.

It has been a while since school was over, and it is almost time for large companies to get off work. On the streets, more and more office workers in suits can be seen. The already bustling city is about to reach its peak traffic period.

"These should all be employees of high-quality large companies. People working in small companies should still be squeezed out of surplus value by their evil bosses."

Recalling what he had just talked about with Hiroto Shioyama, Quan looked at these leisurely office workers and felt a little emotional.

Taking the subway to Shibuya, when he was about to walk out of the station, a woman in a hurry came towards him. She seemed to have something urgent to deal with. She was talking on the phone with someone while walking towards Izumi. Izumi silently kept a distance from her to avoid her bumping into him and blaming him.

But even though they had kept their distance, when the other person passed by him, perhaps because she was walking too hastily, the urban beauty in high heels suddenly swayed, and with a panicked cry of "Ah!", her body was about to fall forward.

"..."

Quan, who had been paying attention to the other person, saw that she was about to fall beside her, so she reluctantly stretched out her left hand, blocked her body and stopped her from leaning forward.

The other person was of relatively thin build and did not weigh much, so for Quan, it was not too stressful to stop the lady who was about to fall. There was not much pressure on his arms either, and it was not much more troublesome than holding a large doll.

'It's so peaceful...'

Quan embraced the other person's forward body to prevent him from falling. When his body came into contact with the other person's, he couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Better be careful when you walk."

Seeing that the other party had stabilized his body and looked at him with a frightened expression, Quan withdrew his hand, reminded the other party, glanced at her, and seeing that she was fine, he turned and walked towards 'RiNG'.

"Thanks?"

The adult lady with fluffy long hair looked at Quan's back as he left, holding the phone in her left hand and stroking her chest with her right hand, and thanked the boy who helped her with a subtle mood.

As if he heard her thanks, the boy who had already walked away suddenly raised his left hand and shook it slightly, which surprised her. Her heartbeat, which had just stabilized, accelerated again. Her face turned slightly red and she couldn't help feeling shy.

"You heard me even though my voice was so low? That's so rude..."

"Ms. Nagasaki? What happened?"

A concerned voice came from the other end of the phone. The woman holding the phone immediately restrained the expression on her face, pursed her lips, and readjusted herself.

"It's okay. Regarding what you just said, Ms. Nishikino—"

……

When we successfully arrived at RiNG, the time was already '16:34', which was past the agreed time with Nagasaki Soyo.

"Xiao Chao is not Chao, she should still be here, right?"

Things related to Toyokawa Shoko made it hard for Quan to imagine that Nagasaki Shoyo would leave first just because he was a few minutes late. Besides, that didn't quite fit in with her image in front of others.

[I'm here, where is Ms. Nagasaki?]

I sent her a message, asking about her current whereabouts, and soon after, I received a reply from Nagasaki Soyo.

[Café, there is a surprise~]

"..."

Looking at the message sent by Nagasaki Souyo, Quan, who was standing at the door of RiNG, curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

"If you hadn't cried while singing Kasuga Shadow, I wouldn't have thought it was a surprise."

When I entered the store, I ran into Tatsuki Shiina.

She seemed to be going outside the store, and when they met at the door, Quan witnessed with his own eyes the other person's expression change from expressionless to surprised, and then to a look of disgust, and she turned her face away all of a sudden, not wanting to see him.

When the two passed each other, Shiina Riki deliberately quickened her pace slightly, which made Izumi couldn't help but look back, somewhat curious about what she was doing outside the store.

"..."

Being stared at, Shiina Riki just walked to the door in silence and picked up the billboard outside the store.

Noticing Quan's gaze, she responded with a fierce look that asked, "What are you looking at?"

"..."

The other person's personality is a bit like a cat, a wild cat with a bad personality.

Seeing that the other party didn't like him so much, he responded with a gentle smile, nodded slightly at the other party, and then walked towards the stairs.

"That guy... has nothing to do with him. Was it a bit too much for me to glare at him just now?"

Shiina Tatsuki picked up the advertising board and looked at the other party who smiled gently at him. He couldn't help but doubt whether his attitude towards the other party just now was a bit too much.

"The one who caused trouble to Deng was his sister. Treating him like this... Never mind. I'll be nicer to him next time... I'll try my best."

Whether she can really treat the other person well depends on her mood at the time.

138. How will Xiao Mu react?

"so slow!"

Facing Aine who started to complain and criticize him as soon as he arrived, Izumi flicked her forehead without hesitation, causing Aine, who was just about to stand up for Nagasaki Souse, to let out a cute "Ah!" and then rubbed her forehead with both hands.

"Excessive!"

Ignoring his sister who seemed to be in a good mood, Quan smiled at Nagasaki Soushi, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Sorry, I met someone who needed help on the way, so I was delayed a little."

"It's okay. While I was waiting for Chihaya-kun, I learned a lot about Chihaya-kun from Aine. I got to know Chihaya-kun better~"

Nagasaki Soyo smiled, with the fingertips of her hands touching each other, and seemed to be very happy about her deeper understanding of Izumi. She also showed the reserve that a girl should have, and seemed to vaguely reveal her liking for Izumi.

"Besides, if Chihaya-kun doesn't think it's appropriate, you can secretly tell me about Shoko's whereabouts... Just kidding~"

Observing Izumi's expression, and seeing that his expression became 'complicated' after hearing that she wanted to know where Shoko was, Nagasaki Shoyo immediately changed her tone and looked at Aine who was sitting opposite her with a smile.

“Aine and Chihaya-kun are indeed very similar. I have always wished to have a brother, or a sister. I am a little envious of you, Aine.”

Ai Ne rubbed her forehead and observed her brother. After hearing what Nagasaki Souyo said, she put down her hands and looked at Izumi with a little disgust.

"Well, apart from the occasional bullying, there's nothing wrong with it."

Although she often relies on her brother in life, when she is outside and hears others seem to envy her and Izumi's brother-sister relationship, Aine subconsciously picks out some of Izumi's bad points and points them out. She doesn't want others to think how perfect her brother is, nor does she want others to think about him.

"Don't you want to reveal your true thoughts to my face? You are so childish..."

After hearing Aine's words, which were not really complaints, Izumi did not feel dissatisfied. Instead, she smiled gently, which made Nagasaki Souyo, who was observing the two of them, envious from the bottom of his heart.

"If I had a brother, I wouldn't feel so lonely at home at night, right?"

"Is that what you think, Aine? I don't think there's anything wrong with Aine. She's my only and most adorable sister."

"!"

After she finished speaking, Chihaya Aine looked at Izumi in a daze. She didn't expect that Izumi would say such shy words in front of outsiders. Her cheeks turned red and she stood up awkwardly.

"Wait, wait a minute, I'm going to the bathroom!"

Then he hurriedly left the place, leaving Nagasaki Soyo and Izumi sitting there.

Looking at Aine who was leaving, Nagasaki Soyo was a little surprised, while Izumi looked at Aine's back as she left, until she disappeared, then he looked at Nagasaki Soyo.

"Look, isn't it cute?"

"Yes...you siblings have a very good relationship."

Nagasaki Soushi was about to give an affirmative answer, but when he thought about Aine’s reaction just now, he felt that such an answer seemed a little inappropriate for Aine, so he changed his words.

“I think so too. How did Miss Nagasaki know Aine?”
