I have pure love with them

"One lacks money, the other lacks love."

Thinking of this, Quan laughed immorally.

"Ah, so I am... immoral?"

Quan, who was amused by himself, walked down the street shaking his head, ending his meeting with Nagasaki Souse. He was not going to go back, but to take care of the affairs of his apartment in this remaining holiday.

The apartment I just rented is still empty. If I don’t take advantage of the holidays to get rid of the furniture and daily necessities, there will be other things to do after school starts.

"Come to think of it, Toyokawa Shoko also wants to change her situation now, instead of staying in that cheap residential apartment, right?"

Quan doesn't really need the apartment he rented, but he wants to lend it to Toyokawa Shoko for emergency use so that the residence can have more life atmosphere. But if he lends it to Toyokawa Shoko rashly, he doesn't think the other party will accept it.

"Perhaps the only way to make the other party accept this good intention is to trade, but what is Toyokawa Shoko willing to trade now?"

210. She has jade syndrome

Go alone to buy daily necessities for the apartment.

He didn't encounter any problems with smaller items, but some larger items, and even more expensive items, were difficult for him to handle by himself. He had to call Tokinoya Satomi, who was still working, to accompany him to purchase some items.

It just so happened that Noya Satomi was taking a lunch break, so it didn't cause her any trouble.

"How much does this piano cost?"

Accompanied by Tokinoya Satomi, after purchasing most of the furniture, Izumi passed by a piano store and saw a piano displayed behind the window. He was slightly touched, and after thinking for a moment, he walked into the store. Under the guidance of the staff, he visited the pianos on display in the store. His eyes fell on a crystal-appearance piano. He stopped, turned his head to look at the clerk beside him, and asked him about the price.

Compared with the musical instrument properties of the piano, the piano in front of Quan looks more like an exquisite work of art.

"This is a crystal grand piano produced by Blüthner. The appearance can be customized. The current market price is 6,400 million yen. Bank transfers and piano loans are supported."

Looking at the boy in front of him, the clerk showed a hint of hesitation in his eyes, but due to his job, he still introduced the price of the piano, and waited for the boy in front of him to show a surprised expression and turn around to look at other musical instruments.

“This one?”

But Quan was not discouraged by the price. Instead, he looked at the piano in front of him with interest.

"Yes, there is only this one piano in the store at the moment. If the customer doesn't like this piano, they can order a customized one. It will take 8-10 months to wait."

The price sounds impressive, but if converted into the current international currency '$', the price is about 41.3. To describe it with a smaller number, it is 21 virtual currencies.

But virtual currency may continue to increase in the future, but the price of the piano in front of you probably won’t go up.

"Let's take this one. How long will it take to be delivered to where I live?"

"..."

"We need to prepare for transportation and moving, which will take at least three days. Do you live in a traditional... or high-rise apartment?"

After some inquiries, Izumi thought the crystal piano was quite nice. After communicating with the clerk, she quickly made a decision to buy the crystal piano and agreed on a time to deliver it to her apartment, which made Tokinoya Satomi speechless.

After finishing his shopping, he expressed his gratitude to Tokinoya Satomi and then returned to his work. Izumi went to his apartment and quietly waited for some items to be delivered today.

“It’s very spacious, but also very quiet… Standing here, you can overlook the scenery of most of the city.”

Standing in front of the French window of the apartment, looking at the city outside the window, he was somewhat curious whether Toyokawa Shoko was within his sight and what she was doing...

"..."

In the elevator, a girl wearing a red bow tie, a gray sailor suit and a black sweater stood quietly beside Quan. She was silent, but Quan, who only glanced at her, was deeply attracted to this girl whom he met for the first time.

"Excuse me, do we know each other?"

Noticing that Quan glanced at her from time to time, the beautiful girl with purple hair in a ponytail and a soft and dignified face took the initiative to ask Quan with a gentle smile.

'It seems to be too obvious.'

Quan was not surprised to find that the girl had noticed his gaze. He was also aware that he looked at her a little too frequently, but he really couldn't control his curiosity.

"No, this should be our first meeting. I just moved in here recently, so I was a little curious about the neighbors living in the same apartment. I'm sorry if I offended you."

There was no fluctuation in the girl's eyes, but her face showed an expression of surprise.

"I see. Nice to meet you. I'm Asahina, who lives here. I hope you can give me your guidance in the future."

"Chihaya, please give me your guidance."

The other party was very polite, but also showed his wariness towards strangers. He only said his last name, and Quan also followed suit and only gave his own last name.

There was no further communication. When Izumi was about to speak again, a 'ding' sound was heard. The girl who claimed to be Asahina politely bowed slightly to Izumi, made a farewell gesture, and then left the elevator.

Quan, who was standing in the elevator, smiled back and watched the other person turn around. While the elevator door was slowly closing, he glanced at the displayed floor, raised his eyebrows silently, and noted down the floor where the other person lived.

"That school uniform, is it the uniform of Miyamasuzaka Girls' Academy? Also... the image it presents seems quite out of place."

Quan, who was standing alone in the elevator, couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth after the girl left.

From the psychological knowledge he had accumulated, the girl who had just talked to him seemed to be in an unhealthy mental state. There was little expression on her face, and her eyes gave people a feeling of depression.

It was precisely because of the problems she showed that made Quan look at her sideways again and again.

If I were to describe this feeling, it would probably be like meeting 'Will's' 'Hannibal' for the first time.

"Interesting woman."

With the corners of his mouth raised, Quan smiled and whispered. After a 'ding' sound, he walked out of the elevator as the elevator door slowly opened...

"You weren't at home all day today. Where did you go?"

Having just come out of the bathroom, with the water droplets on her hair still not wiped dry, Aine leaned on Izumi’s shoulder, moved closer to the side of her face, and looked at her with a suspicious look.

The warmth that had not yet dissipated rushed to Quan’s neck, causing Quan to slightly turn his head to look at Aine who was lying on his shoulder.

Her cheeks were originally pink and white, but now they looked particularly rosy, making people want to kiss her, but...

"Chihayazumi has her own life."

Retracting his gaze and staring at the computer screen in front of him, Quan chuckled and replied.

"but……"

Seeing Aine’s eyes widen and she was about to start a rebuttal, Izumi added another sentence.

“Izumi and Aine share a common destiny, so it’s okay to tell Aine.”

“…Well, it feels so cheesy.”

After hearing Izumi's answer, Aine silently distanced herself from Izumi.

But Quan didn't mind it. He just stretched out the index finger of his right hand and gently tapped his cheek.

"If you want to know..."

211. How much does it cost to buy your life?

When it is difficult to refuse directly, proposing a condition that is difficult for the other party to accept is also a very effective way of rejection.

At least, after Izumi gave Aine a brief hint, Aine was stunned for a moment, and after she understood what Izumi meant, she went back to her room with a look of disgust on her face.

If Aine was in a good mood, she would not refuse, but when it came to the implication of "exchange", Aine was obviously not happy about it. She gave up trying to find out where Quan was and returned to her own room.

Although he was rejected, Quan was not disappointed. He was very satisfied with Aine's choice of rejection.

"Aine just needs to keep this character."

Turning his head to look at Aine who was leaving, Izumi, who was sitting in the room, put on a faint smile.

After retracting his gaze, Quan looked at the computer screen in front of him again, cut out the part related to 'FX' from the running program, and began his own operation...

"Today is the last day of vacation, right? Are you just going to stay here without doing anything?"

Sitting in the 'STARRY' store, Ijichi Hoshika looked at the boy sitting in the store and felt that he was a bit annoying, so she couldn't help but ask a question.

As an adult, and one who was running a store, she shouldn't have said anything to the customers, but seeing that they were fine and just came to sit in her store, treating her livehouse as a coffee shop...well, she did have a business license, but she sensed a hint of trouble from Quan.

"How can I make the other party accept my kindness?"

Quan seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Ijichi Xingge's question, he slowly turned his head to look at the other party, and then asked a question in his mind.

"Huh? I don't know."

As soon as Ichichi Xingge heard what Quan said, she felt that the other party was just whining like an adolescent boy and had no desire to listen at all.

"Then whose kindness will the store manager accept?"

"Hmm? It doesn't matter whose good intentions are, as long as the other party doesn't have other purposes behind their good intentions."

Picking up the strawberry milk, Ijichi Xingge bit the straw and answered nonchalantly.

Quan, who was sitting not far from her, gradually showed a faint smile on his face after hearing Ichichi Xingge's answer.

"What the store manager said makes sense. Is it because of your age? I noticed the point right away."

"If you say anything weird, I'll throw you out of the store."

When Ichichi Xingge heard the word "age" from Quan's mouth, her face suddenly darkened and she stared at Quan with a bad look.

Ijichi Hoshika, who used to not care about her age, has now reached an age where she is beginning to be sensitive about her age. Moreover, she is at an age where she should have been married long ago in society, but she is still single. The mental pressure from the people around her has made Ijichi Hoshika think about things like love and career whenever she hears anything related to "age", and she has become overly sensitive.

"Then how much do you think your life is worth?"

"2."

But when it came to more realistic topics, Ichichi Hoshige gave her answer without even thinking about it.

"Even though it might be a stretch to earn my own money, I think I can live comfortably with 2 million yen for the rest of my life. Work is really hard."

As for how much money she could make in her life, Yijichi Xingge had calculated it in her mind countless times. Now that someone suddenly asked her this question, she didn't think too much and just answered it frankly. Anyway, she didn't think telling the boy in front of her would have any impact on her life.

"If I want to marry Senior Hong Xia, how many millions do you think I need to have?"

"You kid, you really are coveting Hong Xia, right?"

It was as if a switch was touched on Ijichi Seika in an instant. Originally, because of Izumi's problem, he was thinking whether it was possible for him to pick up 2 million yen of Ijichi Seika on the street in his lifetime. But his eyes suddenly became clearer, and he looked at Izumi in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"It's still too early for me to get married, but if it's someone I like, it doesn't matter if he has money or not, because being with the person I like is already a great happiness."

As a soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded in the store, Ijichi Hoshika and Izumi looked towards the door.
