I have pure love with them

During the time that Izumi accompanied Goto Ichiri in her room, she also chatted with Goto Ichiri about video updates and helped record a video of her playing the piano.

"Come to think of it, has Yili ever thought of recording a video of his playing somewhere else?"

"If I record outside, it would be... embarrassing if someone saw me. Besides, I don't want others to recognize my identity."

Goto Ichiri hesitated for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

Although her video account itself does not have too many black fans due to the content, Goto Ichiri is still worried that if she is recognized by black fans outside, it will bring trouble to herself and her family.

"Are you worried about that?"

After hearing Goto Ichiri's answer, Izumi was a little surprised, but she also felt it was normal. After all, her worry was not unreasonable. Protecting herself was the most important thing.

Afterwards, Quan skipped the topic.

Izumi stayed at the Goto family until the afternoon. At around 13: p.m., it seemed that there was nothing else for her to do at the Goto family, so she said goodbye and left.

When Goto Ichiri learned that Izumi was leaving, he couldn't help but open his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but after seeing Izumi waving goodbye to him, he pursed his lips, waved gently, and watched Izumi leave.

She wanted to go to Tokyo with Izumi to visit 'Starry', but thinking of the dress she was currently wearing, Goto Ichiri felt a little embarrassed and shy, so she decided not to go out today.

268. Soyo: I want to give you a gift

After returning to Tokyo and arriving at his apartment, Izumi pushed the door open and entered the living room. He saw Nagasaki Soyo, who was holding the controller in both hands and playing the game.

"Ah... Izumi-kun? Are you back already?"

Seeing Izumi coming back, Nagasaki Shoyo put down the controller in his hand, and on the screen, the character wearing heavy armor was blown away by the monster called "Blue Bear Beast".

Her eyes lingered on the screen for a moment, and Nagasaki Souyo reacted. She pressed a button to close the ongoing game, bringing peace back to the living room.

"Sorry, I didn't know what to do when I was alone, so I tried playing games to learn about Quan Jun's hobbies..."

While explaining, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi with a slightly uneasy and apologetic look.

"Did an expert give you this advice?"

Looking at Nagasaki Soyo in front of him, Quan did not expect that he would see this scene after entering the apartment. Even before seeing this scene, he had never thought that Nagasaki Soyo would take the initiative to play the game.

"How does it feel to be in contact with someone for the first time?"

Quan did not make any comment on Nagasaki Soyo's initiative to play the game. He just smiled and asked the other party about his thoughts after playing the game.

"It's a bit difficult..."

Although he had never played this type of game before, Nagasaki Shoyo still tried to challenge it according to the strategy guide he had retrieved, but found that he was no match for the monster.

"Izumi-kun, you're back early."

As for the game, Nagasaki Shoyo had originally planned to quietly improve her experience, and then give Izumi a surprise when the time was right. But now that she has been discovered, and as her own knowledge of the game is still very shallow, she is not prepared to have an in-depth conversation with Izumi. After a brief chat, she asked Izumi why he came back so early.

"Did something happen?"

His eyes stayed on Nagasaki Soushi, and Quan was a little surprised to see that she didn't continue talking about the game with him.

"Well... nothing happened. I just visited and nothing else happened. I came back after lunch. By the way, your lunch--"

“It has already been used.”

In response to Quan's concern, Nagasaki Shoyo replied with a smile.

"Wait a minute, do you want to go out and relax together?"

During the time she lived in the apartment, Nagasaki Soyo hardly went out, and she had no contact with her mother, Ms. Nagasaki, who still got news about Nagasaki Soyo from him.

Letting her daughter be alone with a boy made Izumi completely unable to guess what Ms. Nagasaki was thinking.

"Well, I'll go get ready to go out."

Seeing that Izumi had not forgotten the agreement with her, a faint smile appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face. She walked into the bedroom with a smile, and after entering the bedroom, she did not close the door.

Standing in the living room, Quan glanced in the direction of the bedroom, then sat down on the sofa silently.

Given their current relationship, even if Izumi walked to the bedroom door to see what Nagasaki Soyo was doing inside, it would not cause disgust to the other party. However, if he did so, it would be easy for Nagasaki Soyo to take the initiative in their relationship.

"The current situation is that she is maintaining an active attitude. What I need to do is to satisfy her inner needs for 'love' and 'security' while maintaining a distance..."

After what happened, it was no longer realistic for the two to continue to remain ordinary friends. And for Izumi, it was not realistic either to continue to become lovers. However, Nagasaki Soushi had some desire in this regard.

Perhaps because she lacks a sense of security and happiness, she instinctively pursues "peace of mind" in her heart, and if the relationship between the two is confirmed, it will be able to meet her needs in this regard to a large extent.

His left hand gently supported his face, and the tip of his index finger gently stroked his cheek.

About half an hour later, Nagasaki Shoyo walked out of the bedroom. She was wearing the pure white gauze dress that Izumi bought for her. She looked soft and elegant when she wore it.

"Izumi-kun, what do you think?"

She walked slowly into the living room, stopped in front of Quan, and turned around gently, her white skirt fluttering.

"It looks like it suits you."

"Thank you. I'm ready. Shall we go out now?"

After getting Quan's affirmation, a faint smile appeared on Nagasaki Shoyo's face. She looked at Quan in front of her and asked softly.

"Well, I don't have anything to prepare, so let's go out."

Izumi was just returning from a trip, and he had already made all the necessary preparations. After Nagasaki Souyo had made his preparations, he went out.

"what to buy?"

"Well... I didn't buy anything in particular. I just felt a little bored after staying in the apartment for such a long time, so I wanted to go out and relax. Besides, Quan Jun has taken care of me for such a long time, so I also wanted to buy him some gifts as a thank you."

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was walking side by side with Izumi, kept looking at Izumi's shoulders and arms, and there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.

"A thank you gift...?"

Izumi did not refuse Nagasaki Soyo's answer.

It was just an ordinary thank-you gift, so he had no reason to refuse it. After all, it was the other party's intention. As long as the other party's thank-you gift was not "Quanjun's child", such a thriller story would be enough.

"Then I'll just look forward to it a little bit."

"I will never let Quan Jun down, I promise."

After hearing what Izumi said, Nagasaki Shoyo smiled, narrowed his eyes, and gave an affirmative answer.

This solemn reply made Quan curious about the thank-you gift that the other party had prepared for him. His eyes stayed on Nagasaki Soushi's face for a moment. Facing the gentle and smiling Nagasaki Soushi, he silently withdrew his gaze.

"I feel like the 'mass' around her has become bigger, a little heavy..."

The two took the train from Shimokitazawa to Shibuya. They kept their distance from each other and no one dared to disturb them.

"Is there anywhere you want to go, Quan?"

"Summer is coming soon and the weather is getting warmer. I want to buy some summer short-sleeves, right? How about you?"

I hadn't thought about shopping before, but after arriving on the street, the thought "since I'm here now" suddenly came to Quan's mind, and he thought about making some preparations for the upcoming heat.

"Well, let me take a look at the summer clothes, too."

There were pedestrians all around, and Nagasaki Shoyo quietly approached Izumi's side without making any noise, shortening the distance between them.

269. There seemed to be a lion in the eyes of both of them

When a boy and a girl of similar age walk on the street, and the girl looks at the boy with gentle eyes from time to time, it is obvious that they will be regarded as a couple in love.

Facing Nagasaki Soyo who was getting closer and closer to him, Izumi, who was gently touching her shoulder, did not say such hurtful words as "Please keep your distance from me" in an unromantic way.

'Although she has some flaws in her personality due to family factors, she is still an absolutely beautiful girl in appearance.'

If Nagasaki Shoyo had not come into contact with Toyokawa Shoko, her personality would not have become as extreme as it is now.

'She may feel lonely, but she is not like Ichiri, who is completely unable to communicate with others. After interacting with other people, she will not fall into the current situation, just like the famous saying in the book.'

If you can avoid intense joy, you will naturally not be struck by sorrow.

Toyokawa Shoko was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, and after that, it never calmed down again.

"Izumi-kun, are you thinking about something important?"

Nagasaki Shoyo, who was standing next to Izumi, noticed the absent-minded expression on Izumi's face and felt unhappy for no reason. However, he stared at Izumi with a confused look on his face and asked a question in a gentle tone, seemingly out of curiosity.

Even though the girl had suppressed her inner feelings and asked in a voice that she thought was gentle, in Quan's eyes, he could still tell her inner feelings from her slightly frowned brows.

"It's nothing important. I just remembered that last time you and... Miss Ruoye went out to buy clothes together. Did you say anything to her after you went back?"

"Eh? Xiao Mu... No, he didn't say anything."

After hearing Izumi's answer, Nagasaki Shoyo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that what Izumi was thinking about would be related to Wakaba Mutsu.

She frowned slightly and gently pursed her soft lips.

Looking at Nagasaki Soushi who suddenly fell silent, Izumi had some idea about the relationship between her and Wakaba Mutsu.

"So, for her, Wakaba Mu is more like a tool... Then what kind of existence is Wakaba Mu to Toyokawa Shoko?"

After thinking about it for a while, it seems that after leaving the band, Toyokawa Shoko never took the initiative to look for Wakaba Mutsu.

It is understandable that after the family changes, he does not want to see his old acquaintances due to the difference in status, but it also indirectly shows that the relationship between Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko is not that... deep?

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous to say this, for a band that wants to embark on a professional path, Miss Wakaba and the identities of her parents can be of great help to the band."

Nagasaki Soyo, who was already ready to quit the band, had a complicated look on his face after hearing what Izumi said.

"Quan-jun...do you have any thoughts on forming a band in the future?"

In response to this question, Quan did not directly answer Nagasaki Soushi, but just looked at her with a smile.

“Is it for Aine’s sake?”

"That's probably part of the reason. Now that we're here, do you want to go in and take a look?"

Arriving at the men's clothing store that Quan often visited, Quan looked at Nagasaki Soushi who was beside him. Quan asked her something, and Nagasaki Soushi nodded and accompanied Quan into the store...

"Ah...Izumi?"

When Quan accompanied Nagasaki Soyo out of the women's clothing store, a familiar voice made Quan look in the direction of the voice, and a familiar figure appeared in Quan's sight.

The girl, who had a figure as good as Nagasaki Soyo and long brown hair, and whom Izumi had known since middle school, was looking at Izumi and Nagasaki Soyo beside him with a look of surprise.

Hearing a girl calling Izumi's name, Nagasaki Shoyo followed Izumi's gaze to the strange girl who appeared. After his eyes fell on her, Nagasaki Shoyo looked at Izumi beside him.
