Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

"I remember you came back very late, didn't you?"

"Besides, it seems like the museum won't be open for that long, right?"

"So after you two went to the museum, you went to other places too, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mizuno Maki looked at Bai Feng with some nervousness.

She also knew that Shiro Kaede was coming back to the coffee shop a little late today.

I didn't get back until around 8 o'clock.

The museum closes at 6:30.

In other words, he spent at least one or two hours wandering around with Chitanda Mirai in other places.

The thought of the two of them being affectionate with each other at times she didn't know made her heart ache as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

Shiro Shiro had no way of explaining himself and the future to them.

It wouldn't be a problem to give it to the two of them.

After all, these two girls aren't his girlfriends, so explaining wouldn't make much sense.

Even after telling the two of them, who knows if the two of them will tell Hina, Kirisa, and Rika.

Those three weren't fools; they could always deduce some clues.

If they knew what they and their future selves had done, they'd probably explode!

Therefore, Shiro Shiro dared not say anything about this.

He could only bluff his way out of it:

"I just went out for a walk and then came back."

Hearing Bai Feng's answer, Erina Kamishiro and Maki Mizuno felt a little relieved.

After all, as long as they're out shopping and dating, nothing major is likely to happen.

Moreover, Junko was with the two of them.

In addition, given the sensitive nature of Chitanda Mirai and Kamishiro Hakufu's current identities, it would be very troublesome if they were to go to a hotel outside and were discovered.

Therefore, the two of them tacitly accepted that Bai Feng had not lied to them.

Not a moment.

The three arrived at the apartment building.

Shiro Kaede bids farewell to Mizuno Maki: "Maki, we're heading back now. Remember to be careful on your own."

"Goodbye, Maki-chan, see you tomorrow!" Erina Kamishiro waved goodbye to Maki Mizuno with a sweet smile on her face.

Maki Mizuno nodded, a faint smile playing on her lips, and waved goodbye to the two: "See you tomorrow."

After witnessing the two return.

Mizuno Maki then returned to her home.

Upon returning, she quickly and familiarly locked the door from the inside and fastened the security chain.

After doing all that, Mizuno Maki finally put down her schoolbag and took out the phone she had won in the lottery that day.

After some effort...

She finally managed to activate the phone.

The first step in activating her account, besides registering the phone numbers of her long-lost family members, was to register the contact information of Shiro Kaede.

Then it's the others' turn.

After dealing with the phone issue, Mizuno Maki turned to look at her old, worn-out phone and felt a strange sense of melancholy.

This phone has been with her for a long time.

No matter what, she did have some attachment to this phone.

Also, this phone is now very old, the kind where even the battery doesn't last long.

So even if you sell them, you probably won't get many.

With that in mind, Mizuno Maki thought she might as well keep it; maybe it would be useful in the future.

With that in mind, she placed the old phone in the hidden metal box behind the wallpaper.

Finish these.

She took off her JK school uniform and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After washing herself, she put on her close-fitting pajamas and went to her desk.

However, she didn't plan to study today. Instead, she took out the new book "Love Letter" that Shiro Shiro had given to the members of the Literature Club and started reading it.

The novels written by Shiro Shiro seem to have a magical power; Mizuno Maki was completely immersed in the story after only a few glances.

She could vividly recall the scenes from the novel, and even felt as if she were actually there, as if she were the female protagonist herself.

Although Mizuno Maki had seen a bit of it when Bai Feng gave it to her yesterday.

However, due to work and studies, I've only managed to watch half of it so far.

So she decided to watch part of it that evening first.

As she watched, Maki Mizuno lost track of time, her mind completely absorbed in the story.

The main plot of "Love Letter" revolves around two male and female protagonists with the same name: male Fujii Itsuki and female Fujii Itsuki.

They were classmates in school, and because they had the same name, they were often misunderstood in various situations, which led to a series of interesting and subtle interactions.

During these interactions, male Fujii Itsuki gradually developed feelings for female Fujii Itsuki, but he did not confess directly. Instead, he expressed his feelings in subtle ways, such as writing female Fujii Itsuki's name on the library card or pretending to meet her by chance on the street.

However, this budding romance did not develop further because the male Fujii Itsuki transferred schools.

Years later, the female Fujii Itsuki had become a librarian.

One day, she suddenly received a letter from Hiroko Watanabe, the fiancée of male Fujii Itsuki.

It turns out that after male Fujii Itsuki passed away, Watanabe Hiroko was unable to let go of his departure. She found female Fujii Itsuki's address in male Fujii Itsuki's graduation yearbook and wrote to inquire about male Fujii Itsuki's past.

The death of male Fujii Itsuki in a mountain climbing accident was an unexpected and heavy blow to female Fujii Itsuki.

In her reply, female Fujii Itsuki began to reminisce about the time she spent with male Fujii Itsuki.

Looking back now, she realizes that male Fujii Itsuki treated her in a completely different way than he treated other girls.

However, at this time, the female Fujii Itsuki did not realize that he had been secretly in love with her all along.

On a certain day.

Female students at the school discovered that the library debit cards were covered with Fujii Itsuki's name and even had her likeness drawn on them.

The female students who discovered these cards returned them to Fujii Itsuki, and she suddenly realized that Fujii Itsuki had been secretly in love with her all along.

Because of this, female Fujii Itsuki learned that when male Fujii Itsuki came to her house before transferring schools and gave her that book, asking her to return it to school, he had already intended to tell her his feelings.

But it was all too late.

What's missed is missed.

These memories brought tears to the eyes of female Fujii Itsuki, filling in some gaps in her understanding of male Fujii Itsuki's past memories, while also leaving an indelible regret in her youth.

In her correspondence with female Fujii Itsuki, Watanabe Hiroko gradually accepts the fact that male Fujii Itsuki has passed away and that the person he loved was not him. She begins to let go of the past and seek a new life of her own.

The story ends here.

It was already around two or three o'clock.

It wasn't until Mizuno Maki turned the last page and read the entire ending that she came back to her senses.

But when she came to her senses, she found that her cheeks were wet.

After reaching out to touch it, Maki Mizuno realized that she had already burst into tears because of the story of "Love Letter," which depicted unrequited love to the extreme.

At this moment, she finally understood why the novel written by Shiro Shiro was called "Love Letter".

I finally understand who the female Fujii Itsuki and the male Fujii Itsuki are in the story.

That was her and Bai Feng.

After reading "Love Letter," Mizuno Maki realized how much Shiro Shiro had liked her back then.

She hadn't noticed it for the three years of junior high school, and she wouldn't have known if he hadn't confessed to her.

But now, why is he writing this book, "Love Letters"?

Mizuno Maki couldn't understand, and could only choke back tears as she reached up to wipe them from her cheeks.

"Why."

"Why did you only tell me how much you liked me after you started dating other girls?"

Shirakaze and Erina opened the door and returned home.

"I'm back." X2

Ayaka Sato, who was sitting in the living room, was delighted to hear that the two had returned and immediately got up to welcome them.

"Bai Feng, Erina, welcome back."

Erina Kamishiro stepped forward, hugged her aunt, and giggled:

"Auntie, I'm back!"

Ayaka Sato patted her little head:

"Mmm, you've had a hard day."

Subsequently.

She stepped forward and helped Bai Feng carry the bag in his hand to the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, Shiro and Erina put their schoolbags in the room and then came out.

Ayaka Sato turned to look at Shirafumi, remembered something, and gave him a word of advice:
