I have pure love with them

"Well, you were practicing guitar with me. How much did it take?"

"what?"

"Don't act stupid, these Gachapon must have cost a lot!"

Facing Izumi’s question, Aine frowned in dissatisfaction and puffed up her cheeks slightly.

"...Yeah, it did cost a lot, probably around 2 yen?"

After looking down at the Gachapon in his hands, Izumi, who was standing in front of Aine, then answered, causing Aine’s eyes to gradually widen. Just as he was about to criticize Izumi, Izumi opened his door and then entered his room, causing Aine to choke and look back at his room.

Thinking of Goto Ichiri who was still in her room, she resisted the urge to ask Quan how much money she had left. She uttered a soft "tsk" and went back to her room.

Compared to exploiting Quan, tomorrow's live performance is more important. She decided to wait until the live performance is over before talking to Quan about the "contract renewal". The little living expenses that Quan gave her before have been almost used up due to the band activities in the past two days.

'Pa-ta--'

The sound of a door closing came from next door shortly after he returned to his room. Quan, who was sitting at the desk, sorting out the capsule toys he had bought, shrugged slightly.

Open the eggshells one by one, take out the models inside, and then sort out a complete set except for the hidden ones.

"Speaking of which, someone should be selling the hidden version online, right? Let's take a look at the hidden version——"

Just as Quan was about to enter the hidden version, the 'Zashiki-warashi' which represented luck, his cell phone suddenly rang and someone called him.

With a casual press of the Enter key, while searching for the hidden information, Quan picked up the phone with his right hand and answered the call.

"This is Chihaya Izumi."

"Izumi-kun, it's me."

A familiar voice came from the phone. Quan did not carefully look at the caller's name, but when he heard the gentle and steady voice, he knew the other party's identity.

"Mrs. Tokinoya? What's the matter with you calling at this time?"

Looking at the search results displayed on the browser, Quan changed his mobile phone to his left hand and gently rolled the mouse wheel with his right hand to browse the information he was interested in.

Tokinoya Shun was taking care of Tokinoya Mion in the house. Tokinoya Satomi walked out of the apartment alone, pursed her lips, stood under the street light, looked at her own shadow on the concrete floor, holding the mobile phone in both hands. After hearing Izumi's question, she spoke with mixed feelings.

"Last time, what Quan Jun said, is it true?"

After preparing herself mentally and considering it sufficiently, Tokinoya Satomi, who had already made a decision, asked.

"Yes, there is an age limit for me, but I don't want to trouble my family, so I would like to ask Mrs. Tokinoya for help. As a thank you, I will also give her a reward."

These were the things he had discussed with Tokinoya Satomi before, and in order to reassure Tokinoya Satomi, Izumi repeated them again.

"This matter has nothing to do with Mio, right?"

Looking up in the direction of the apartment, Tokinoya Satomi felt a little complicated.

"Ok?"

Izumi, who was browsing the website, was stunned for a moment after hearing what Tokinoya Satomi said, but she soon understood what Tokinoya Satomi was thinking.

"Yes, a little, but Shun and I are friends, and Mio treats me as a brother, so I chose the lady. Compared to those unreliable strangers, the familiar lady makes me feel more at ease."

Tokinoya Satomi fell silent.

"Really...are there that many?"

Her voice was trembling a little, so that even through the phone, Izumi could feel Tokinoya Satomi's nervousness at the moment.

"Tomorrow morning, madam, are you free?"

……

After hanging up the phone and ending his communication with Tokinoya Satomi, Izumi reached out and gently rubbed his forehead.

"Compared to the trouble of explaining to my parents, it is more convenient to invite an 'agent'. Well, problems that can be handled with '$' are not that troublesome."

Of course, this is when '$' is sufficient.

"But unfortunately, Toyokawa Shoko can't be solved with a simple '$'. No, it's better to say that it has to be solved tactfully with '$' and her self-esteem has to be taken care of."

During today's meeting, although Nagasaki Shoyo gave the answer of "it needs to be considered", she herself probably doesn't think it is feasible to make the band famous. If there are some setbacks, she will easily turn to Izumi.

"First rent a private apartment in the name of Mrs. Tokinoya. When the time comes, first control... no, first reach an agreement with Nagasaki Shoyo, then pull... no, then invite Toyokawa Shoko to work in the apartment. The plan is complete!"

With his family at home, Quan certainly couldn't use it, so for this little vinegar, he had to make some dumplings first, there was nothing he could do about it.

"The Nagasaki family seems to meet the requirements, but Soyo's mother is just working hard and comes home a little late, not away from home. If she sees her daughter and her daughter's friend wearing maid uniforms and taking care of a boy, I don't think she will show understanding and actively express her desire to wear a maid uniform as well."

Nagasaki Shoyo and her mother, and Nagasaki Shoyo cares about Toyokawa Shoko.

Quan, who was sitting in front of the computer, slowly placed his right hand on the mouse and paused for a moment on the browser tab. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath to adjust his state, and then stood up.

"Ten squats to cool down."

……

"Have you ever thought about the future?"

In Aine's room, Aine, who was sitting on the floor playing the guitar, looked at Goto Ichiri who was sitting opposite her. As she was numb from practicing the guitar, she couldn't help but ask Goto Ichiri what she was going to talk about to relieve her inner boredom.

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri raised his head and met Aine’s gaze.

"after?"

"Well, that's for the future."

Aine nodded slightly and repeated the question she had just asked casually, but soon she noticed that the girl in front of her had a strange expression, from confusion to astonishment, and then to shyness, in just a moment!

'Did she misunderstand me?'

Ai Ne, who already knew Goto Ichiri's personality, saw Goto Ichiri's expression soften and become light-hearted, and she knew that he had diverted her attention from her question.

"Did you hear it as... Izumi's future?"

Seeing Goto Ichiri misunderstand her and act shy, Aine suddenly felt a blockage in her heart...

200. Aiyin, forgive me, this is the last time

The weather is calm and sunny.

Without Tokinoya Mio's company, the night was less warm, but the bed was much more spacious. When he opened his eyes and woke up, he stretched his body and slowly sat up from the bed. Looking at the sunny weather outside the window, he opened his arms and prayed -

"Love gate."

Afterwards, without caring whether Aiyin in the next room could hear his sincere prayers, he quietly lifted the quilt and moved his body around in his room.

After pushing open the door, he left his room and saw that no one was using the bathroom, so he used it first. He washed up and poured a glass of water. He returned to his room, sat down in front of the computer, turned on the computer, skillfully opened his browser, and clicked on the previously saved real estate information from the tab folder.

"It's just a temporary rental, so there's no need to think too much about it. It's just for the convenience of my activities, and I still have to go home at night. Considering the distance and price, this should be the most suitable one at the moment."

After browsing the information about the apartment, he saved the contact information, took a sip of the water in the glass, closed the browser, and stood up.

He took out a light set of clothes from the closet and stood in front of the dressing mirror to look at his image.

He is not an active person, and he always pursues light and simple clothing style, so most of his clothes are solid colors, among which black and blue occupy the majority. As for the few, they are programmer style, plaid shirts in various colors.

Today, she also wore a water blue lining, matched with a gray sweater, and khaki casual pants. Because of her good foundation, she gave off a casual and gentle temperament.

"That's it."

Gently stroking his chin with his left hand, Quan looked at himself in the mirror. His face was childish and he was not very old. Unless he used special makeup techniques, it would be difficult for people to regard him as an adult.

“Even if I change my temperament and become more calm, I still have to use my own identity when signing the contract.”

Especially when signing a contract, identity proof is required.

Even if Quan could try to learn from Frank in the "Cat and Mouse Game" and forge some identification documents that are difficult to identify under normal circumstances, considering the risks and benefits, there is no need for him to do so if he is not planning to commit a crime.

“If I really did that in real life, even if I was recruited, it would be difficult for me to meet Aine in the future.”

After tidying himself up, he took the things he needed, left his room, walked to the door of Aine's room, and knocked gently.

The back of my hand knocked on the door, making a low sound.

"Well……"

Aiyin opened her sleepy eyes and lay on the bed with a tired look on her face. She didn't want to get up from her bed yet. She shook her head gently, stretched out her hand to smooth her long hair, and there was no other movement.

Aiyin's mind was blank. She was awakened by the knock on the door. She hadn't woken up completely from her dream yet. She half-closed her eyes and stared at her room.

'...'

Quan was standing at the door and heard no sound in the room, so he knocked on the door again.

As the knock on the door sounded again, the half-asleep consciousness gradually became active. Aiyin, who was lying on the bed, slowly straightened her body, but she didn't stand up, and fell on the bed. She lazily supported herself on the bed with her arms and climbed up little by little.

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was still sleeping beside her, Aine couldn't help but sigh at the quality of his sleep.

"That's the fountain at the door, right?"

Pursing her lips and not disturbing Goto Ichiri who was sleeping, she dragged her heavy body to the door of the room, opened the door, and looked at Izumi who was standing at the door with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong? Why are you disturbing others' rest so early in the morning?"

The light pink pajamas that matched her hair color set off Aine’s fair skin and sleepy face. The girl combed her long hair with one hand and looked at Izumi in front of her.

"I have to go out for something today. You can accompany Yili in the morning. In the afternoon, you can let her go to the live with you. After you finish your business, I will also be there to support you."

"..."

After hearing what Izumi said, Aine was stunned for a moment, then her expression became much more sober. She looked at Izumi in front of her with confusion, noticing the way he was dressed for going out.

"Something happened again?"

It was clearly Izumi who invited Goto Ichiri to his home, but during these two days, it seemed that Izumi only spent one afternoon with Goto Ichiri.

"Tomorrow, there will probably be nothing to do. Do you have nothing to do in the morning?"

"...That being said, you just went out last night and you're going out again today... Are you hiding something from me?"

Staring at Izumi in front of her with suspicion, Chihaya Aine felt more and more that Izumi in front of her had become strange and unfamiliar during the time she was away. Her eyes fell on that familiar face, and she observed it carefully, hoping to find out what was wrong with Izumi.

However, Izumi, whose psychological endurance was stronger than Aine's, did not show any problems under her observation, but instead gave her a gentle smile.

"Shall I go with you?"
