People in Tokyo, the world is clear

"Yes."

Lin Sen responded directly.

Then, I followed the flow and continued with what I wanted to focus on:

"So, when you ran out to buy groceries just now, she came to chat with me."

“Is this something I can listen to?”

"Why not? Simply put, it's been too long since we last met, and you missed me."

"Eh? So, direct?"

Miss Ito exclaimed again, but it still sounded unexpected.

That's very strange.

However, Lin Sen guessed that this feeling was probably caused by the image that was just tangled in his mind.

I didn't think much about it and continued to speak honestly:

"I summarized it this way. You know, she can be quite convoluted... but that's how she put it."

"Senior's summary is a bit too straightforward."

"Isn't this normal? When friends meet up after a short separation, there's definitely an urge to feel like, 'I miss you so much, bro!' If I don't see Ito for a week, I'll probably lose my appetite."

Lin Sen threw out some nice words.

However, the expected reaction did not come. Because, this would be outside.

So, the girl behind him even moved her body slightly away and hit his shoulder in disgust.

"Senior, you are so disgusting and corny."

"Wow. Give me back that shy and snickering Ito. Can I return this now?"

"No. But..."

After leaving a transition word, Ms. Ito suddenly stopped talking.

But both of them understood the subtext.

[Wait, after returning home...]

[......]

At some point, a strange sense of anticipation and a lukewarm yet gradually intense emotion spread in the air.

The girl's breathing became inexplicably short, which also led someone to get into the state...

do not!

When I suddenly realized what was happening, my first reaction was to calm down quickly.

What am I waiting for? I'm so confused.

Miss Ito's unbridled behavior in "At Home" must be stopped!

In an instant, he turned back into a righteous man and coughed lightly to interrupt the tense atmosphere.

"Also, Sasagawa and I expressed some more personal emotions. For example, he's had something like imposter syndrome, and he's always felt inexplicably anxious... He even feels uneasy about something as good as meeting a new friend like you, Itou."

"Can you please tell me about this situation?"

"That's right. I won't go on. But, knowing her, she might tell you this herself."

"It seems, indeed..."

Miss Ito pondered for a moment and agreed with Lin Sen's statement.

She then shared some of the content of their conversation just now.

Facts have proven that Sasakawa Rimei treats all her recognized friends the same way. A bird that has escaped from its cage will have some subtle desire to share, and is willing to tell its stories to its kind friends.

She also told Miss Ito some of the private feelings that she had once shared with Lin Sen.

For example, some understanding of life, and even some half-hidden loneliness.

Perhaps, the only psychological activity that was deliberately concealed was the self-narration on a rainy night that he had once fallen in love with Lin Sen - that was a bit too private, so it was better to keep it as a secret between the two of them.

Psychological research shows that sharing one's true feelings is one of the best ways to quickly build relationships. Flamingos, as top students, seem to have heard this as well.

As a result, their relationship progressed rapidly. The girl had already begun to address her senior, who was half a year older, as "sister." Sasagawa Rimei insisted that age shouldn't matter, but she didn't object to the title.

Perhaps it was the little angel's inherent aura of favorability that played a role. Cat girls always managed to endear themselves to others through their own nature.

All in all, their friendship is progressing smoothly.

Lin Sen was quite pleased to see this. After all, both of them needed friends. It wasn't a bad thing to meet some similarly pure souls.

But something unpleasant happened at this moment.

"what..."

Miss Ito straightened up and raised her legs and suddenly cried out in pain.

It seems like my toe hit the stool.

For a moment, his eyes were almost filled with tears, and he squatted down, whimpering in pain.

The young man subconsciously wanted to stand up and squat, but the moment he stood up, the girl pulled the trouser material on his thigh.

"It's okay...it's not that serious."

She took a deep breath and finally calmed down.

He suddenly sat down on the floor of the study and reached out to gently rub the white tip of his left sock that was on the slipper.

Lin Sen squatted down and stared at the scene for a while.

After confirming that nothing was serious, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at someone rushing over from the kitchen.

"what happened?"

Glancing at the scene in the study, Sasagawa Rimei, holding a kitchen knife, had a calm expression.

His eyes narrowed, his expression sharp:

"Is it some shameless person who wants to do something bad to you, Ito?"

"That is, could you please not just switch to attacking my brother so naturally, Sasagawa Rio?"

"Yes, Sasagawa-san... help."

"You're joining the drama too, right Ito?"

"understood."

Completely ignoring someone's words, Sasakawa Rimei gripped the kitchen knife with both hands, closed her eyes, and spoke like a samurai about to challenge someone to a duel:

"Are you ready to accept the punishment of ancient punishment and be slaughtered?"

"You're addicted to it, aren't you? Aren't you supposed to be studying cooking? Hurry up and get to the kitchen. Stop making such a fuss, you two!"

The farce began as usual, except that with the addition of a third party, it was perhaps even more lively.

But what the two people who were most immersed in the play did not notice was that a short-haired girl who was laughing happily on the side made an imperceptible little movement at a certain moment.

In a flash, his eyes passed over a young man's neck, shoulders, and...

thigh.

What he didn't notice was that just now, the girl had obvious breathing movements near these locations of his -

As we all know, when people think of animals with a keen sense of smell, their first reaction is always canines such as dogs and wolves.

But the fact that is easily overlooked is...

There is also a popular pet whose sense of smell is second only to hearing.

And, the girl named Ito Nishika is like the incarnation of a cat on a human...

Everyone who knew her felt that way.

Chapter 57 Arriving Home is Arriving on Time

"Surprisingly, you've never traveled before?"

During afternoon tea time, when the topic extended to travel, the sound of chopping meat came from the kitchen and slowly spread to the living room.

The strongest of the three was processing the fish in the kitchen.

When these noises fell into his ears, Ito Xiguo propped up his chin and glanced at the person next to him who was turning pages of a book.

She nodded, answering the girl's question.

"That's it."

Sasagawa Rio said calmly, "The only two cities I've seen in my life are my hometown, Chiba, and Tokyo."

"Would you feel uncomfortable?"

"People are quick to react, and sometimes that can lead to unbearable dissatisfaction and resentment. But if I calm down a bit, I can tell myself that travel isn't an essential part of life. Thinking that way, I can endure and calm down."

"Sister Sasagawa is very resourceful."

"Later, I gradually began to feel that going out wasn't the only way to broaden your horizons. Kant never left his home more than ten miles in his entire life, but that didn't limit him from becoming an excellent philosopher. Proust stayed at home for a full fifteen years, yet he still wrote a masterpiece like 'In Search of Lost Time.'"

Ms. Li Ya spoke eloquently and confidently.

But Miss Ito only raised her hand cautiously after being stunned:

“While that’s certainly true…”

She explained softly, "But for me, traveling is about encountering unexpected and interesting things. Simply using it as a way to relieve stress is also great. As for me, I don't really care what I gain..."

"...That makes sense. Am I thinking too utilitarian?"

Mr. Sasakawa began to try to reflect on himself.

But the girl quickly interrupted him by waving her hand:

"No, no, no. Because traveling has always been something Sasagawa-san has always wanted but never gotten, so she must focus more on its shortcomings to alleviate her desire... That's normal."

Then, the girl sighed and continued:

"In fact, traveling does have its own setbacks. For example, there are no direct routes, so you have to change trains again and again, which is exhausting. Or even if you arrive at the destination, you may not be able to see the beautiful scenery you expected due to weather conditions."

"There's a phrase called 'traveling and exhausting', but I'm not sure if it's the right description."

"That's very fitting! Also, sometimes there aren't enough rooms, so we have to squeeze into one...it's really troublesome."

"?"

The moment she came back from her daze, Sasagawa Rimei's eyes widened.

He turned his head and stared at the girl with an innocent expression.

The words he organized all stuttered:

"Live in one room?"

"Yes."

"..."

The next second, a hand grabbed the scissors in the pen holder on the table.

"Has Ito been harmed in any way?"

"Eh? This..."

"It seems that the time has come to enforce justice, punish evil and promote good!"

“No, no, no, no…”

The girl hurriedly hugged the flamingo's slender waist as it stood up and took two steps, trying to stop it and persuade it to return to its seat.

"Nothing happened. Under those circumstances, I definitely had a sense of self-preservation."
