I have pure love with them

Izumi, who was standing in the hall, hadn't reacted yet when a heavy impact came from behind. His body swayed and he turned around to look at Aine who was hanging on his back.

“I saw the performance, and it was very good for a debut performance.”

"Of course, hehe, I have been working hard for this performance... and Yili is helping me."

Aine, who was feeling proud inside, noticed Goto Ichiri who was standing next to Izumi when she gave her answer. She also had not forgotten the help Goto Ichiri had given her over the past few days, so she looked at Goto Ichiri and winked at her.

"Aine works very hard, I am just accompanying her in playing..."

In response to Aine's thanks, Goto Ichiri modestly waved his hand, indicating that it had little to do with him.

"What about the rest?"

After hanging on Izumi for a while, Aine untied her arms and stood beside Izumi. Izumi looked at the graceful girl in front of him and asked about her other bandmates.

"Lixi needs to help clean up here. It seems there are other things to do. Deng and Shuangshi will come out later."

"Aren't you going to hold a celebration party?"

Judging from today's performance alone, their performance was already very good. It can't be said to be perfect, but from the applause they received at the end, it can be seen that others were very satisfied with their performance.

"The celebration party... We haven't talked about it. It seems like everyone has their own things to do after this. Well, let's leave it at that for now. We may consider the celebration party tomorrow. That's all for today."

After thinking for a while, Aine didn't hear anything about Nagasaki Soyo or Shiina Tachibana planning to hold a celebration party. Maybe today would just end like this and nothing else would happen.

"go home!"

Aiyin, who had been tense the whole day, now felt very tired after the performance. She didn't want to stay here any longer. She looked at Izumi in front of her, her eyes lingered on her shoulder for a moment, pointed her finger in the direction of the door, and prepared to go home to rest.

Goto Ichiri was also not very accustomed to the environment here. After hearing Aine's speech, her gaze lingered on Izumi for a while. She saw Izumi looking at her, and the two of them looked at each other for a moment. It seemed that she confirmed that she had no other opinions, so Izumi nodded slightly and accompanied the two of them back home.

……

"What's going on? Why is mom standing with Izumi-kun..."

With deep confusion and worry, Nagasaki Soyo returned to her home and pushed open the door of her apartment. She took off her apricot shoes at the door, put on her soft white socks, lightly stepped on the indoor slippers, and slowly walked into the house.

"...You haven't come back yet?"

Looking at the empty living room and not seeing his mother, Nagasaki Shoyo pursed his lips and silently returned to his room.

Sitting down at the table, she opened her social account and entered the follow list. Looking at the avatar of 'CRYCHIC', her white and tender fingertips hovered above the screen and did not fall down for a long time. After thinking for a moment, she gave up the idea of ​​opening the band's account.

'Is today's performance considered a success?'

With his eyes lowered, Nagasaki Shoyo recalled today's performance.

Although Takamatsu Deng was a little out of shape at the beginning, she eventually managed to get into the right state, showing her talents and winning the band the final applause.

"Tomo is very talented. Riki also performed well in singing and writing lyrics. Aine, Kaname Rana... there were no problems today. Everyone performed well."

However, Nagasaki Shoyo was not very happy about the success of the performance. Instead, he felt even more uncomfortable.

[It would be nice if I could be with everyone from ‘CRYCHIC’]

She knew that her thoughts would seem excessive to Aine and Kaname Rakuna, but even so, she couldn't help but think that way.

"Xiangzi..."

Whispering Toyokawa Shoko's name, Nagasaki Shoyo couldn't help biting his lips.

……

"Because of Xiangzi, there is no 'Haruhi Kaguya' segment, which is a little disappointing. But Wakaba Mutsu, I didn't expect her to appear on the scene. Her mother is...Mori Minami, a very famous actress. Wakaba Mutsu's father...is also a very famous comedian, but in terms of age...well, if a comedian wants to stand out, it does take some time to accumulate experience."

Sitting in the room, Quan looked at the information he had retrieved. He took a look at Ruoye Mu's family situation, which he had not paid much attention to before.

There are quite a few female stars in the entertainment industry who marry comedians, and they are almost second only to "ordinary company employees."

“The income from variety shows and advertising endorsements is very high.”

After checking the net worth of Ruoye Mu's father, Ling Quan felt a little surprised.

"It's really surprising..."

dong dong——

A sudden knock on the door interrupted Quan's thoughts, and he slowly looked towards the door.

"Izumi-san, are you there?"

Goto Ichiri's voice came from the door, which surprised Quan a little. He thought it would be Aine, but after thinking about it, if it was Aine, she would definitely push the door open directly after knocking, and would not be so polite.

Without thinking about why Goto Ichiri came over, he stood up, walked to the door of his room and opened the door for Goto Ichiri.

"Yes, what can I do for you? Please come in."

After opening the door, Izumi invited Goto Ichiri into his room.

The girl pursed her lips, and after entering Quan's room, she couldn't help but lower her head, but she couldn't help but observe Quan's room with the corner of her eyes.

"The boy's room... is so clean... completely different from my room, and... has a nice scent."

Goto Ichiraku suppressed his instinct, and when he thought he would not attract Izumi's attention, he breathed in the smell in the room forcefully, which made Izumi feel a little subtle. Looking at Goto Ichiraku who lowered his head, he opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but couldn't help choking.

For a moment, he felt like the top student and beautiful girl character in the light novel who invited the protagonist into her room and was taken advantage of by the protagonist.

"That's weird. I should just ask her what she wants to do."

Shaking the strange thoughts out of his mind, Izumi looked at Goto Ichiri who was standing in his room and asked her what was the matter that brought her to his room so late.

After hearing Izumi's question, Goto Ichiri suddenly woke up.

"Izumi-san, I..."

207. You really haven't changed at all

“After today’s performance, I’ve completed my mission of helping Aine, right? To-tomorrow, can I go home?”

After hearing what Goto Ichiri said, Izumi was stunned for a moment. He first invited Goto Ichiri to sit down in his room, and then looked at Goto Ichiri sitting upright with his hands on his knees, but he did not give a direct answer.

"I invited Yili to come here to help improve Aiyin's guitar skills. I believe that Yili's efforts are indispensable to the applause Aiyin received at the end of the performance."

Although he did teach Aine some playing techniques, Goto Ichiri was mostly the one playing guitar with her. She didn't expect that she was so important in Izumi's eyes. She felt shy and quickly waved her hands.

"No, there is no such thing. I just... just did something insignificant."

Looking at the modest and shy Goto Ichiri in front of him, Izumi felt an inexplicable sense of déjà vu in his heart. He then took a step forward, came in front of Goto Ichiri, held Goto Ichiri's hands tightly, and looked into her eyes "affectionately".

"That's not the case. Without Yili's company, it would be difficult for Aiyin to calm down and focus on the guitar. It is because of Yili's company and guidance that Aiyin can receive so much applause. I am very grateful to Yili."

Between the lines, Izumi was conveying the meaning of 'Ichiri, you are important', which made Goto Ichiri, who had never been watched by anyone in real life, feel inexplicably flustered. Her cheeks flushed and she dared not look directly into Izumi's eyes.

After the classic scene in the girls' comic was reproduced like this, looking at the shy Goto Ichiri, Izumi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it could really produce such an effect.

Goto Ichiri, whose hands were held, felt the warmth from Izumi's palms, his face flushed, and he lowered his head with his heart pounding. He didn't know what to say at this moment, and he could no longer think normally.

'...'

Seeing that Goto Ichiri had lost the ability to think, Izumi felt that if he could just push her down on his bed, she probably wouldn't resist.

"But in the comic, at this time, the person eavesdropping at the door should be about to open the door, right?"

But there was no movement at the door. Aine didn't know what she was doing at this moment, but from Quan's perception, there was probably no one at the door.

Now? here?

No.

Although Aine hasn't shown up yet, Ichiri won't be seen for a long time and she will definitely come and knock on the door. Besides, her parents are at home, so it's not a suitable time.

Looking at Goto Ichiri who was blushing with his head down in front of him, Izumi's eyes were blurry for a moment, but then they became clear again. He smiled and loosened his clasped hands.

"No matter when, as long as it's Ichiri, I think my parents and Aine will welcome Ichiri's arrival. In addition, I will also look forward to your next visit."

Goto Ichiri, who was originally still shy, slowly raised her head after hearing what Izumi said. She met Izumi's clear eyes and felt a sense of loss in her heart. She pursed her lips and nodded slightly...

The next morning.

After seeing Goto Ichiri off on the train, Izumi returned home and felt the disappointed look on her mother's face.

"..."

As an experienced person, Mrs. Chihaya could naturally see the good feelings that Goto Ichiri had for Izumi, but she didn't expect that during this period of time, the two of them were so close to each other and no "accidents" happened, which made her a little disappointed.

But after thinking about it carefully, she realized that now that everyone in the family was at home, it did not seem to be a good environment for any "accident" to happen. So, after thinking it over carefully, she looked at her son who had just returned from her visit.

"Quan, have you ever considered renting an apartment out there?"

Quan was passing by the living room and was about to go back to his room, but after hearing his mother's words, he stopped and looked at his mother in confusion, but after seeing the other's complicated expression, he instantly understood the meaning of her words.

In the past, he would have refused without hesitation when faced with this question, but today, after a brief silence, he smiled and gave a different answer.

"let me consider it."

'Changed?'

Mrs. Chihaya was also stunned when she heard her son's different answer.

When she wanted to continue the discussion with Izumi, Izumi had already stepped onto the stairs and disappeared from her sight. Mrs. Chihaya felt that she had missed an opportunity, and she also seriously considered whether she should let Izumi move out and live alone.

"came back?"

Hearing the footsteps, Aine, who was still in her room, opened the door and looked at Izumi who was standing at the door and about to enter the room.

"what happened?"

Quan, who had already opened the door, looked at Aine who suddenly appeared, but he was not surprised at all. He just raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"No... I just wanted to see if you'd be lonely after Yili left."

She didn't know why she pushed the door open, but after Ichiri left, she felt like she was less restrained. When Aine heard that Quan had returned, she couldn't help but push the door open, wanting to take a look at her brother.

"Don't you have me at home? Why do you feel lonely?"

"……Oh."

Unable to resist letting her eyes wander for a moment, Aiyin pursed her soft cherry lips, moved her face left and right, nodded seemingly nonchalantly, then retreated back into the room and gently closed the door.

"..."

She closed the door and stood in front of it for a moment. She walked to the edge of her bed with a calm face, then lay down on the bed, reached out to grab the pillow, covered her face with it, and then curled up into a ball, rolling around on the bed...

"You look happy?"

Seeing Aine close the door, and noticing her reaction before returning to her room, Izumi was also slightly surprised.
