I have pure love with them

156. I feel so sorry for her when I see her

"Regarding this week's holiday, what is Quan going to do during the holiday?"

During the lunch break, accompanied by Sendo Akato and Tokinoya Shun, the three of them came to the shade on the roof of the school building. With the warm breeze blowing on their bodies, Inazuki Nozomi had already been waiting for the three of them to arrive. After everyone sat down in a circle, Inazuki Nozomi's eyes fell on Izumi and asked him about his plans for this Golden Week.

"If I had agreed to a girl's confession, I would definitely go out and have fun with my beloved girlfriend, but unfortunately, Quan still doesn't have a girlfriend, so he can only be alone at home. He either stays in his room reading a book or avoids my online time to secretly log in to the game to gain points. It's really pitiful."

After hearing what Inazuki Nozomi said, Sendo Akato's eyes fell on Izumi, as if he felt sorry for Izumi, or as if he was secretly pointing out in a subtle way that Izumi did not play games with him. He stared straight at Izumi, but unfortunately, it did not cause any pressure on Izumi.

"Xiaodou, you always play games, don't you think about anything else?"

Inazuki Nozomi, who wanted to hear Izumi's answer, was unable to hear it due to the disruption of Sendo Xiaoto. She could not help but frowned her willow-leaf eyebrows and began to preach to Sendo Xiaoto.

"If you don't think about the game now, you won't have time to think about it when you start working, right? Besides, it's very rude to say such things to a regular customer of your store! I'm a future talented professional player!"

Sendou Xiaodou did not feel any dissatisfaction with Inazuki Nozomi's preaching. He just pouted slightly, refuted a few words, and then looked at Tokinoya Shun who was standing aside.

"Shun, when you visited her, all you had in your eyes was Izumi. I was so hurt by the way she treated us, your ordinary friends. Shun, hold me tight~"

Looking at Sendo Xiaodou who was pretending to be a girl, she glanced at him for a moment, was silent for a moment, lowered her head and looked at her lunch box again, and suddenly felt that she had no appetite.

"That's a bit... gross, Xiaodou."

"Hmm? Isn't it cute?"

"..."

"I was wrong, please don't do this again."

After seeing the reaction of Sendo Akatsuki, Inatsuki Motoko couldn't help but apologize to him, just so that he could restrain the "seductive" expression on his face. Only Izumi, who was quietly eating his lunch box without looking at Akatsuki's expression, was not affected at all.

"Shun, what are you planning after this week's holiday?"

After Sendo Xiaodou's reaction became more serious, Quan looked at Tokinoya Shun.

"After the holidays, there will be more customers coming out to play, and the store will be a little busier. I will work in the store."

Tokinoya Shun gave his answer without any thought.

After suffering the misfortune, his current family situation is not optimistic and he has to budget his daily living expenses carefully. In order to relieve some of the pressure on his mother, all he can do is work part-time during the holidays.

The Golden Week is a time for rest for other people, but for Shun, it is a time when he can relieve his mother's stress and let her have more rest and work hard.

"Even if it's for the sake of your family, you have to take a break once in a while."

Inatsuki Nozomi looked at Tokinoya Shun. After hearing his answer, she was not surprised at all, but she still advised him, hoping that he could pay more attention to his health.

"Well, I'm fine."

He responded with a smile. Of course, Tokinoya Shun was aware of all these things, but he did not feel that these things could bring him much pressure and fatigue. Compared with the pressure his mother had to bear, it was nothing.

Looking at the smiling Tokinoya Shun, Izumi could basically imagine what the other party would fill in on the future career survey form.

"In order to reduce the burden on his family, he may not even consider further education."

Inazuki Nozomi and Sendo Akato could both guess Tokinoya Shun's decision, but in front of him, in order to take care of his feelings, no one would take the initiative to talk about this matter. Even if they talked about it, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do for their friend.

The millions of yen in tuition fees required for university are not something that students can easily afford. They have to think seriously about how to solve their own expenses, so how can they have the energy to help Shi Noya Shun?

Although there is a "scholarship system", it is just a nicer-sounding "student loan". For a normal person, if you are saddled with a loan of millions of yen before you graduate, it may take you more than ten years to pay off the loan in the current grim economic situation. It is better to go into the workforce right after graduating from high school.

"Come to think of it, Quan hasn't answered yet!"

The atmosphere suddenly felt a little heavy, and everyone thought of some heavy things from Tokinoya Shun. Inatsuki Nozomi immediately changed the topic, looked at Izumi, and asked about his preparation plans for the Golden Week.

"I'll stay with Aine. I'll just read a book. There's not much else I can do. I'll also check out the new work of 'Pretty Cure'."

The simple answer made Inazuki Nozomi fall into silence.

"Don't you have anything serious to do?"

When Inazuki Nozomi didn't know how to start, Sendo Xiaodou took her place and said what she wanted to say.

“Reading books and preparing for Tokyo University, isn’t that a serious matter? And accompanying Aine is the most serious thing for me.”

"This is a typical sister-con statement. It really makes people...envious! Damn it!"

Sendo Akato sighed gloomily, then looked at Tokinoya Shun again. His depressed and envious expression turned into flattering. He moved closer to Tokinoya Shun, trying to make Tokinoya Shun agree to entrust the future of his sister Tokinoya Mio to him.

However, Shun Tokinoya obviously did not trust Akato Sendo, whose future goal was to become a professional gaming player, and rejected him in a tactful way.

After lunch was over, Quan stood up and asked the three to continue while he went back to the classroom.

"Don't you think it's suspicious?"

After Quan left, Sendo Xiaodou looked at the other two and asked.

"He always leaves so early, saying he's going back to the classroom, but last time I passed by his classroom, I didn't see him in there. Could he be having a tryst with Kita-san?"

It is clear that Sendo Xiaoto is still upset about the popular first-year student Kita Ikuyo confessing her love to Izumi.

"Izumi has his own life, at least he didn't refuse to dine with us, right?"

Inazuki Nozomi was also a little concerned in her heart, but after hearing what Sendo Xiaoto said, she pursed her lips and explained for Quan.

Sendo Akato and Tokinoya Shun looked at each other, their eyes filled with sympathy for Inatsuki Nozomi.

Noticing the reactions of the two, Inazuki Momoko silently lowered her head, biting the chopsticks with her white teeth. She felt depressed and was a little concerned about where Quan had gone.

"Next time, I'll just take a quick look... it should be okay, right?"

157. I did this for Izumi

After watching the video with Goto Ichiri in the library for a while and deepening their friendship, Izumi went back to the classroom with her. The previous discussions about the two of them had basically disappeared, and the looks they gave the two of them had returned to normal, with no surprises.

Basically, it has changed from "there is an affair~ (curled tongue)" to "again?", and there is no longer any surprise that the two are together.

Quan was not surprised by such a change. If this group of people could keep their sense of freshness every day, Quan would feel incredible. Being able to calm down would be a good thing for him. As for Goto Ichiri...

I can’t say that I enjoy it, I can only say that I enjoy it.

Faced with the misunderstanding looks from others around her, Goto Ichiri would still feel nervous and blush, but she did not find such misunderstanding offensive. She was not good at communicating with others, and could not take the initiative to explain to others, but her heart would constantly switch between secret joy and uneasiness.

'What if Izumi finds out?', 'Should I tell Izumi... What if I get misunderstood?' And so on, chaotic thoughts surged in her mind again and again, and then after class, they calmed down in an instant - 'Let's just let it go.'

As long as you do nothing, you won’t make any mistakes!

Izumi was well aware of Goto Ichiri's reaction, but it was not a good idea to point it out at the moment. He planned to wait until the right time, or when Goto Ichiri was ready to confess, before giving him an answer.

After school, Goto Ichiri wanted to stay with Izumi for a while longer, but the two-hour commute, plus the video updates and guitar practice when she got home, left her with little free time.

"When summer comes, I can spend more time with Izumi-san, right?"

The daytime is shorter now, and it usually gets dark around five o'clock, but in the summer, the daytime becomes longer and she can stay in the city longer.

'Let's go back. ’

After saying goodbye to Izumi, Goto Ichiri took the train back home, sighing silently in his heart, wondering why he chose a school so far away from home, but then he thought that if he hadn't chosen it, he wouldn't have met Izumi.

'The channel's revenue has started to rise recently, but... I still can't rent an apartment in the city, right? And if I live alone, no one can take care of me, and I won't be able to see my father and mother, Erli and Jimmy Hen... So... forget it.'

He wanted to stay with Izumi for a while longer, but after considering the price he would have to pay, Goto Ichiri chose to give up in his heart.

Leaning back in her seat, looking at the scenery speeding backwards outside the window, she gently pursed her cherry lips.

"What is Izumi-san...doing?"

clatter--

The teacup was placed in front of Quan. With deliberate force but restraint, the black tea swayed in the cup but did not spill out. Shiina Riki looked at the boy in front of him. His expression seemed softer than a few days ago, but now it became cold again.

"Please. Take. Your time."

Shiina Riki's lowered eyes and sidelong glance at him seemed to contain a sense of contempt. As a waitress, her reaction and attitude were obviously unqualified and she did not fulfill the service concept of 'the customer is God'.

'Is the complaint box useful? By the way, is there a complaint box here?'

Seeing Shiina Riki turning and leaving, Quan looked around the store and did not see the complaint box. He felt a little regretful. He really wanted to see the scene of Shiina Riki dropping her pearls because of the complaints.

He originally wanted to ask Shiina Riki what it was like to be in a band with Aine, and ask her "How do you feel now, how do you feel?", but before he could ask, Shiina Riki seemed to have guessed what he was going to say, and quickly turned around and left, returning to the counter, leaving Izumi alone, who could only pick up the black tea and taste the flavor of it first -

'generally.'

Yuqiu's school was over a little late, and when Izumi was already waiting at RiNG, she hadn't seen Aine yet. But Izumi was sure that she would come today, so she wasn't in a hurry, and just sat quietly in her seat, waiting for her to come.

"Izumi-kun?"

But before Aiyin arrived, a soft voice sounded from behind him, followed by light footsteps and a faint fragrance. Nagasaki Shoyo came to the table where he was sitting and looked at him in surprise.

“Are you here with Aine?”

"No, Ain hasn't come yet. I just wanted to come over today. Did Ain make an appointment with you to meet here?"

"Well, the appointment was made last night. Didn't she tell Quan Jun?"

Nagasaki Soushi sat down opposite Izumi and looked at the black tea in front of Izumi. She waved to Shiina Tatsuki behind the counter. Shiina Tatsuki, who had already noticed Nagasaki Soushi, pursed his lips and walked forward sullenly.

"What do you want?"

"Just like Izumi-kun."

Facing the unhappy Shiina Riki with a smile, Nagasaki Souyo's answer made Shiina Riki stare at her for a while, silently took note of the black tea, and then went back to the counter to prepare it.

"No, she just told me that she and Li Xi also became bandmates, and it seems that Nagasaki--"

"Just call me Shuangshi. Nagasaki is too formal."

When Izumi called him 'Nagasaki', Nagasaki Shoyo interrupted him, narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a smile.

"Well, the lead singer of 'CRYCHIC', Shuangshi, has also joined the band? It's a little unexpected. I didn't expect that most of the members of 'CRYCHIC' would form a new band with my sister. It feels a little weird."

Also smiling at Nagasaki Soyo in front of him, seemingly unintentionally, or as if expressing emotion, Izumi pointed out that except Aine, everyone else in the band is a member of 'CRYCHIC', which made Nagasaki Soyo nervous.

Nagasaki Shoyo has obtained a lot of information about Chihaya Izumi from Chihaya Aine, her younger sister. In particular, she has excellent academic performance and experience as the student council president in junior high school, which has greatly changed Nagasaki Shoyo's impression of Chihaya Izumi.

Now, hearing the other party suddenly say "most of the band members are from 'CRYCHIC'", it is hard not to let Nagasaki Souyo think too much.

'Did you pay attention? Or did you guess what I was going to do?'
