Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

Such an intimate relationship makes them look like siblings to outsiders!

But now it turns out the two aren't siblings?

Could it be that the two of them have actually been dating for a while?

That's why

woohoo~

Rika Maejima was even more stunned, and couldn't help but ask again, trembling:

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, Erina-chan, that this was so important?"

Chitanda Mirai and the others looked at Erina with some resentment.

Erina Kamishiro scratched her head, and said in surprise:

"Didn't I say that?"

Her words left everyone present speechless.

Chitanda Mirai's lips twitched slightly:

"Erina-chan, if I remember correctly, she didn't say that."

Watanabe Hina nodded and said:

"Yes, I definitely didn't say that."

Maki Mizuno's expression was somewhat complicated:

"Kamishiro-kun didn't say either."

Shiina Shoko was stunned:

"It really is"

Rika Maejima said angrily:

"Kamidai-kun"

at this time.

Chitanda Mirai tried hard to recall and felt that Shirakaze Kamishiro probably only regarded Erina Kamishiro as a younger sister.

Otherwise, why wouldn't the two of them engage in any romantic behavior like lovers?

Furthermore, Erina-chan has basically never gone on a date alone with Kamishiro-kun.

After all, Kamishiro-kun spends most of his time in coffee shops these days.

If Erina really started dating Kamishiro, from a girl's perspective, she would definitely want to be with her boyfriend every day, or go out on dates and have fun, etc.

Even Erina-chan didn't make such a demand of Kamishiro-kun.

All of the above combined does not fit the scenario of him having a girlfriend.

Therefore, Chitanda Mirai was able to conclude that Kamishiro-kun only regarded Erina-chan as his younger sister.

In reality...

Indeed, there are quite a few cases similar to those of Kamishiro-kun and Erina-chan.

The two were so close that they were like siblings.

If you only consider the other person as a sibling, then that's not impossible.

Thinking of this, Chitanda Mirai slowly breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more at ease.

However, just because their relationship hasn't changed now doesn't mean it will always be like this.

Chitanda Mirai felt it was necessary for her to keep an eye on Erina's situation.

Upon hearing Erina's topic, Mizuno Maki suddenly realized that she knew far too little about Kamishiro Hakufu.

She gently bit her red lips and asked:

"Erina-chan, may I ask when you came to Kamishiro-kun's house?"

When the others heard this topic, they all looked at Erina with curiosity.

They were also eager to know about Erina's situation.

Even Igarashi Chinatsu, who was looking at the manuscript, couldn't help but listen in.

Erina Kamishiro didn't hide anything from this and explained directly:

"It was around the first year of junior high school."

"At that time, my mother and my brother's father remarried."

"Then my mother and I moved here in Shibuya, Tokyo, and live in this house now."

Shiina Shoko stammered as she asked:

"When we went up to your house, it seemed like we didn't see your parents much."

Erina Kamishiro explained with some sadness:

"Our parents both died in a car accident when we were in the third year of junior high school."

"so."

Shiina Shoko realized she had asked the wrong question and quickly apologized:

"Sorry, Erina-chan."

"I shouldn't have brought this up."

Erina Kamishiro shook her head and said:

"It's okay, it's all in the past, there's nothing that can't be mentioned."

Maki Mizuno hadn't expected that Kamishiro's parents were also deceased.

However, his parents had run away and that's why they were no longer here.

And Kamishiro's parents are...

Rika Maejima pursed her lips with a hint of heartache and asked:

"Is that aunt you mentioned before your current guardian?"

Erina Kamishiro nodded and said:

"Yes."

"However, her voice acting work is sometimes quite busy, so she's basically never home."

“She had already gone to work when you came last time.”

Hina Watanabe knew that voice actors were paid very little.

Considering that both of Kamishiro's parents are deceased.

That clearly shows that Kamishiro's family situation is not very good.

If that's the case, then it seems there's a reason why Kamishiro-kun has been working so hard lately, and even agreed to Chairman Hojo's conditions.

After all, having Chairman Hojo's favor would make my future path much easier.

No wonder Kamishiro-kun was focused on studying and working during that time.

No wonder Kamishiro looks more mature than other boys his age.

No wonder Kamishiro-kun was willing to borrow money to open a shop and make money.

I suppose he works so hard to ease the financial burden on his family.

He's clearly only a first-year high school student.

Watanabe Hina felt a pang of emotion as she thought about this.

It wasn't just Watanabe Hina who guessed why Kamishiro was working so hard.

Even the others guessed it.

Tears welled up in Shiina Shoko's eyes beneath her long bangs.

She thought Kamishiro-kun was really too strong.

While other children have their parents protecting them.

He already had to study hard and work hard to earn money at the same time.

She herself definitely couldn't have done that.

Rika Maejima also felt a little sad.

She never expected that the boy she had always liked was actually so strong behind the scenes.

No wonder Kamishiro-kun didn't agree to date him.

They said I should focus on my studies and so on.

It seems that's why.

If Rika were in this situation, she definitely wouldn't be in the mood for dating either.

Maki Mizuno's heart was also filled with mixed feelings and resonance.

It turns out that Kamishiro-kun is actually doing just as badly as I am.

Igarashi Chinatsu couldn't help but feel a pang of pity.

No wonder Kamishiro-kun was willing to borrow money to open a shop even in his first year of high school, and even had to find time to write a book.

It seems their family situation is really not good.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be working so hard.

Chitanda Mirai actually knew some things about Kamishiro's family.

But I didn't think about it in detail at the time.

Now that I've heard Erina-chan say that...

She then realized that Kamishiro-kun, who usually told jokes to amuse her and was generally cheerful, actually had a lot of pressure.
