Ritsu Tainaka simply didn't know how to respond.

While his cooking skills are indeed excellent, that's not the point!

Shouldn't the focus be on Kira-kun's unexpected appearance at the Nishikino residence?

If it weren't for Maki Nishikino's mother returning, Kira-kun might not have left yet, and might even have stayed overnight!

Even though all the members of μ's are girls, Kira-kun is the only boy among them. It seems strange no matter how you look at it, right?

Furthermore, during meals, Kira always addressed them by their full names.

Not only did they address fellow first-year students like Hanayo Koizumi, but they also addressed third-year students Eli Ayase and Nozomi Tojo by their first names. This should have been very rude, but they didn't seem to care at all.

They would even occasionally show some intimate gestures to each other unintentionally. Ritsu Tainaka even wondered if Kira was in a romantic relationship with a member of μ's, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely.

Even if they are couples, there's no way to explain why Kira-kun is so close to them all. It's impossible for everyone to be in a relationship with Kira-kun, right?

How is this possible?

Unable to understand, Ritsu Tainaka looked at her friend with curiosity and asked:

"Mio, what do you think?"

Snapped!

Akiyama Mio delivered a karate chop to her hand, teaching her a lesson without any hesitation:

"Honestly, instead of thinking about all this nonsense, you should spend more time training! You've all seen how hard μ's are working, right? We're the ones who will be providing the music for them, so we can't afford not to practice!"

"Hmm~"

Ritsu Tainaka crouched down, covering her head in defense, looking tearful and aggrieved. "Even so, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"

Akiyama Mio's cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't answer her, seemingly annoyed by Tainaka Ritsu.

"what!"

Hirasawa Yui exclaimed in surprise, immediately drawing the attention of the others.

Speaking of which...

The girl clenched her right fist and slammed it hard against her left palm, somewhat annoyed. "I forgot to ask Senior Xi what the 'Lovers' card actually means."

Kotobuki Tsumugi looked surprised: "So Yui actually believes in these things?"

Hirasawa Yui stuck out her tongue: "It's not that I believe it, I just find it very interesting."

Ritsu Tainaka exudes confidence:

"Ah, I know the answer to this one! The Lovers card means we will face a major decision in our careers, and it concerns our future prospects!"

"Eh? Ritsu can interpret tarot cards?" Hirasawa Yui looked at Tainaka Ritsu with a hint of admiration.

No way.

Tian Jingzhong's law was straightforward:

"This is what I just searched online; aren't tarot card interpretations all pretty much the same?"

Kotobuki Tsumugi took out her phone and searched, somewhat curious:

"But doesn't the Lovers card also refer to matters of love?"

Ritsu Tainaka waved his hand:

"You need to have a boyfriend, right? Or at least a guy you like? Do you guys have one? I certainly don't."

Kotobuki Tsumugi: "No."

Yui Hirasawa: "Neither do I."

Hirasawa Yui: "Where's Mio?"

Akiyama Mio, her face taut, said in a serious tone:

"Tarot card divination is just superstition; we should believe in science."

"Also, even if you try to change the subject with tarot cards, we still have to continue practicing tonight!"

Yui Hirasawa was horrified:

"Huh? We've been found out?!"

Ritsu Tainaka retorted, "You really think that way!"

Even Kotobuki Tsumugi was holding her face in her hands, looking somewhat conflicted.

Haven't you ever considered that the Lovers card might actually have other meanings?

Leaving aside Wei and Lu, Pochi-chan might not care.

But Mio, don't you care either?

Kotobuki Tsumugi secretly observed Akiyama Mio, who was sternly reprimanding Yui and Ritsu, but her fair cheeks were inexplicably flushed with a faint pink.

So, you do care after all, right?

Kotobuki Tsumugi murmured to herself, as a good friend, she had to find a way to help Mio.

A large supermarket near the apartment in Daejeon-gu.

Kira Yoshikage, carrying a shopping basket, opened the freezer door and reached for a carton of fresh milk labeled "50% OFF." At the same time, a girl with long, flaxen hair also reached for another bottle of milk.

She's the angel next door.

They recognized each other, and tacitly remained silent, without exchanging any words.

"Please keep your receipt. Welcome back next time."

Yoshikage Kira took the receipt and change from the cashier, picked up his shopping bag, and left the supermarket.

Outside the supermarket, a girl with long flaxen hair was walking down the street, carrying a shopping bag in each hand, looking extremely strained.

Yoshikage Kira stopped in front of her:

"Do you need any help?"

The girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly:

"Yes, thank you."

Kira Yoshikage took the shopping bag from her, while simultaneously lecturing her:

"I think you could take better care of your hands!"

Carrying such heavy shopping bags, those little hands will definitely get bluish-purple marks from the bags, which is not pretty at all!

If he didn't see it, fine, but now that he has seen it, he can't just sit idly by!

Although she didn't understand why Kira Yoshikage was focusing on the hands, Shiina Mahiru assumed he just didn't know how to express his concern and quietly explained:

"It's just that there's a discount promotion today, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so much."

Seeing the marks left on the girl's palm, Yoshikage Kira frowned slightly and reached out his hand to her:

"Give me the other bag too."

Shiina Mahiru wanted to say, "I can manage on my own," but after hesitating for a moment, she handed the shopping bag to Kira Yoshikage, without immediately letting go, and whispered:

"At least give me your bag."

Kira Yoshikage weighed the shopping bag in his hand to make sure it wouldn't put any extra strain on her hands. So, while taking the shopping bag from the girl, he handed her the bag containing fresh milk.

Shiina Mahiru silently followed behind him, carrying the bag. As they rounded a corner, she suddenly asked:

"Did you take leave? I think you should be at work right now, right?"

She didn't know what Yoshikage Kira's job was, only that he was busy until 11 o'clock every day before coming home.

"I resigned."

"Huh?"

Shiina Mahiru was somewhat surprised and wanted to ask why, but she swallowed the words back.

This is Kira Yoshikage's privacy after all. She's not anyone to him, so there's no reason for her to keep asking.

Even if someone were to ask, it should be Miura-san and Kitagawa-san who do so.

wrong……

As if she had thought of something, the girl's eyes inexplicably changed slightly.

Previously, Yoshikage Kira would always get home at 10:30 PM, fall asleep before 11 PM, and wake up at 7 AM the next day.

His life is very regular as long as no one disturbs him.

However, this is on the premise that no one disturbs you.

What would happen if someone disturbed them?

答案是10:30回家,11:00开始通宵战斗,一直到凌晨3:00才会停歇——

Every time Miura Yumiko and the others visit, Kira Yoshikage's schedule changes to this.

Unfortunately, the apartment wasn't very soundproof, so she couldn't get a good night's sleep either!

She will only find peace when they stop fighting.

Ultimately, the reason they fought until the early hours of the morning was because Yoshikage Kira needed to work.

If he doesn't need to work, then he can start fighting earlier—

Previously, the battle would start at 11:00 and end at 3:00.

Now it might become a battle that starts at 7:00 and ends at 11:00.

Both are four hours, but the former would keep her awake because of the noise, while the latter would give her a perfect night's sleep.

"Could it be..."

Shiina Mahiru suddenly raised her head, her lips moved a few times without making a sound, but her thoughts became clearer and clearer:

Could it be that Kira-kun resigned entirely because of me?

"Why have you stopped?"
