People in Tokyo, the world is clear

"You want to ask, if that's the case, why should I tell you this, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Sen nodded. Then, the clear and lovely female voice beside his ear took a deep breath.

"Because I thought of your other friends. For example, every time Niwa saw me, and only me, her face was filled with a mixture of expectation and disappointment. And even Kurosawa, she always wanted to talk to you about comics. But, she and you weren't that close, so she often kept it to herself and even stopped me from telling her."

"So that's it."

"I just wonder if your other friends might also occasionally have the same feelings I just mentioned."

Hearing this, Lin Sen pondered for a moment.

Then he spoke:

"You have a point, but there's nothing we can do about it. Some things just can't be taken into account at the same time. I'll do my best to strike a balance."

"I mean, maybe I have a way to have it both ways."

"Depend on you, Ito?"

"Ah."

At this moment, Miss Ito's voice was soft and calm:

"When I tell Yuzuru about her senior's recent situation, she is also very encouraged and comforted. Ignoring Kurosawa's instructions, after I quietly told you about her situation, she has been very happy recently. She pulled me aside to talk for a long time, and she is deeply grateful for the opportunity you gave her to be a key artist."

"."

After hearing this, Lin Sen probably understood what the girl wanted to convey.

Combined with the story she told, Ms. Ito meant that perhaps she could help herself resolve those relationships with friends that she didn't have time to take care of.

Just like when she was a child and got along with the foster puppy, she used the sense of security brought by his companionship to help him consolidate their friendship, and with the bond between the two who had shared life and death and could talk about anything, she saved time for both parties or even all three parties.

——That's exactly what she did. She took over the work that Lin Sen had thrown at her like a boss, and managed her daily life with Niwa and Kurosawa well.

Saving others is also the same as saving yourself?

That's a saying.

It became philosophical.

But Lin Sen still couldn't understand one thing:

"Am I made of gold? Why do you have to be so interested in meeting and spending time with me?"

"Senior, don't you realize your own charm?"

"Do I have that kind of thing? Incredible."

"I was unsure at first. But, since Qingshan's reaction and attitude towards you are the same as mine..."

"hiss."

Indeed, if there is evidence in front of you, then denying it would seem a bit pretentious.

Although Lin Sen really doesn't think of himself as a big star, it seems that all his friends see him that way.

I could only sigh and gradually see clearly the map of Yan State that Miss Ito had rolled up several layers.

"After saying so much, Ito is actually protesting my daily negligence and wants to maintain the same circle of friends with me, right?"

"Ah."

The girl admitted her request.

This is not something that cannot be agreed upon.

Usuki 0 also II glimpse and beg for

I also made an agreement with Ito Kazuko, the elder of the Konishika family, to help the child make more friends.

Here, it just happened to fit.

And all along, my circle of friends has basically overlapped with hers. Even with people like Qingshan Xiazhi who I don't see often, I've slowly been catching up recently.

In fact, there has always been only one exception -

The nominal wife whom I met by chance, a flamingo who said one thing and did another but acted honestly.

Let her get to know Miss Ito?

Thinking of this, Lin Sen hesitated.

It's not that I haven't had such thoughts.

However, she is her own editor. Once Ms. Ito gets to know her, it will be easy for her to get in touch with the works she publishes.

In the second work, the feelings expressed by the heroine, who is based on Miss Ito, can be said to be a confession book for the purpose of literary creation.

If you really let a girl see it, she will definitely misunderstand, right?

By then, the relationship with Miss Ito, which is currently going well, may undergo new changes - something Lin Sen does not want to see.

However, although I have always had such concerns, deep down, I have really thought about letting the two of them get to know each other.

I won't talk about Xiao Xiguo anymore. I want to help her find friends, and she just clearly expressed her inclination to sync her circle of friends.

As for Ms. Li Ya, it can be seen that although she is a loner, she actually longs for friendship.

The last time I happened to meet Miss Xiazhi, we unexpectedly talked a lot. Lately, I've often followed the manuscript to ask about Qingshan's recent situation.

Flamingo is really not a person who should be kept away from strangers - as long as you understand her attitude towards her friends, which seems to be disgusted but is actually a bit flattering, it is easy to notice the cuteness of this woman.

To be honest, Lin Sen really hopes that Sasagawa Rimei has more friends. Especially, fun girls like Aoyama and Ito-san.

...So, it's done?

After thinking for a moment, Lin Sen quickly came up with a plan that might be perfect.

He took a deep breath and spoke to Ms. Ito who was waiting for an answer:

"Actually, it's just as you guessed, Ito. I have another good friend you don't know about."

"...As expected. After asking Qingshan, I did some calculations. You should have spent a lot of time out. So, all of it was given to one person?"

"Wow."

This tone is full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Also, the action of grabbing the soft flesh on his waist——

Does it even calculate time? That's so detailed!

I couldn't help but marvel at it. Then, I heard a whisper in my ear:

"Since Senior told me this, does that mean... you agreed to introduce us to each other?"

"What's there to agree or disagree with? Honestly, I didn't tell you this before because I had some concerns. First of all, my friend has a somewhat... well, distinct personality. Also, there are some vested interests involved."

"Senior's recent lavish spending may have something to do with her."

"Yes. Wait, Ito, how do you know it's a girl?"

"Children are ignorant and just guess randomly."

"Isn't that what you learned?"

"I remember every word my senior said."

"That's a bit scary, Ito. Well, it's settled then. I'll go talk to her about it. If she doesn't object, you two can get to know each other."

"it is good..."

Judging from Ms. Ito's tone, she seemed happy.

Lin Sen felt that he had made the right decision.

As for the editor-in-chief and the book—just talk to Flamingo and ask her not to reveal anything. I've given similar instructions to Xiazhi before. I believe that woman will agree as readily as that female singer.

Thinking about it, it's almost time to end the farce.

Lin Sen sighed:

"So, can you let go now, Ito?"

Sometimes I admire myself. Even when I'm almost in a state of panic, I can still think calmly.

The mental strength of a person who has lived two lives is indeed a bit superhuman.

If he travels to another world, he might become a top-level wizard.

He secretly smacked his lips in pride for a while before realizing something was wrong.

The girl behind him showed no intention of letting go. Instead, she moved her hands down, gradually meeting near her lower abdomen.

"Ito?"

"...Um, Senior, are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"?"

What a strange yet classic beginning.

Lin Sen immediately adopted a righteous tone:

"If you just let me go, this discomfort will stop, Ito."

"..."

In the silent response, I felt the girl's nose touch the back of my neck.

She took a deep breath, and her tone sounded a little weak.

"I don't know. All of a sudden, there was no way to let go."

"What do you mean? What do you want?"

Lin Sen reached out and took off the towel, then turned his head.

The girl's face was resting on her right shoulder. At this moment, she had her eyes tightly closed and her cheeks were as red as fire.

Heat is transferred with contact.

She was as hot as a stove.

"Physiological reaction."

Miss Ito managed to squeeze out a few words:

"N-Never experienced that before."

As she thought this, her body tensed unconsciously.

"I'm sorry, I suddenly lost control."

The girl apologized while breathing heavily, her movements gradually getting bigger. "S-What should I do?"

"."

As I said, Lin Sen is not a saint, nor is he Liuxia Hui.

For a moment, I had the urge to turn around and push the girl onto the bed.

And that's exactly what he did.

He grabbed her hand, and broke free from her amidst a scream. Then he turned around and grabbed both of her hands and pushed her down hard.

However, at the moment when he was about to rush forward, he took a step back with all his strength, collapsed, and sat on the ground.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the girl who got up from the bed.

Suddenly, a strange picture appeared - two people staring at each other, with only each other in their eyes.

The only sound in the room was the sound of short breaths coming one after another.

Then--

"There's a hidden plot in Lovers Play that children can't watch." Lin Sen said bluntly, "Do you want to unlock it? Ito Xiguo?"

"!"

The girl stared, momentarily stunned by the bluntness.

It was probably at this moment—

The young man closed his eyes.
