I have pure love with them

Before Tokinoya Mion, who was sitting on Izumi's lap, could react, the door was pushed open and Chihaya Aine entered Izumi's room. She saw Izumi and Tokinoya Mion, who was sitting on his lap, holding the phone to her ear and seemed to be on a call.

Yunyun looked at Aine who was standing in front of the door, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of Izumi's mouth, while Tokinoya Mio looked at Chihaya Aine who broke into the room with a look of surprise.

"..."

Just when the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, the voice of Tokinoya Satomi came from Tokinoya Mio's cell phone.

"spring?"

It was this question that broke the silence. Tokinoya Mion came back to her senses, her eyes lingering between Chihaya Aine and her own arms, not knowing how to react.

Quan raised his index finger to his sister and tapped it on his lips to ask her to be quiet.

"..."

After Chihaya Aine realized what was happening, she clasped her hands together, apologized, and quietly left the room.

"Mom, it's me..."

After Chihaya Aine left the room, Tokinoya Mio started talking to her mother about spending the night at Izumi's house. Izumi stayed in the room, waiting for Tokinoya Satomi to agree. She stayed in the room with Tokinoya Mio for a while before finding an excuse to leave the room temporarily.

When he reached the door of his sister's room, he stretched out his hand and knocked gently.

After a while, the door opened and Chihaya Aine appeared in front of Izumi.

"What's wrong……"

Looking at Izumi who appeared in front of her, Chihaya Aine looked a little uncomfortable, and her eyes were wandering, which surprised Izumi a little, but he didn't care too much and just pointed to his room.

"Tonight, Mio will stay overnight. She will need your help to take a bath. Is that okay?"

"..."

The girl did not answer, but her eyes stayed on Quan, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Where do you sleep?"

"My place."

"..."

Chihaya Aine, who was standing behind the door, groaned all of a sudden, looked at her brother with disdain, and agreed sullenly.

"Ah."

"Then, I'm going back."

Seeing that his sister agreed, a faint smile appeared on Quan's face, and then he turned and left.

Although he could ask his mother to help take care of Tokinoya Mio, Izumi still felt that compared to the elders, letting Chihaya Aine take care of Tokinoya Mio would make them closer. Even if Aine was dissatisfied with Izumi, she would not have any opinion towards Mio.

When Quan returned to his room, Aine, who was standing in front of the door, bit her lip and gently closed her door. Then she looked at her bed and breathed a sigh of relief...

434. Aine: You're going too far!

When passing by the door of Quan's room, Aine stopped and her eyes fell on her brother's door.

When she thought of her brother being alone in the room with Tokinoya Mion, she felt subtly unhappy. She stared at the door in front of her, bit her lips lightly, hesitated for a moment, and glanced back at the stairs.

'No one is coming yet.'

Her parents were still downstairs, and her brother and Tokinoya Mion were both in the room. She struggled for a moment before making a decision in her heart. She slowly squatted down and put her ear against the door.

“Does this really work?”

When Noya Mion's tender and gentle voice sounded in the house, Chihaya Aine, who was standing at the door, pricked up her ears immediately.

'Effect? ​​Are you doing anything?'

Although she felt confused, the scene of the strange uncle inviting the little girl to see the goldfish suddenly emerged in Chihaya Aine's mind. She felt that she seemed to have a little distrust towards Izumi.

"This requires long-term persistence. From a short-term perspective, it may not be proven to be effective, but if we persist, at least there will be a glimmer of hope, right?"

The gentle voice seemed to be comforting the girl, making Chihaya Aine, who was squatting at the door, a little curious.

"Are you talking about Mio's injury?"

The originally lively and lovely girl gradually became introverted after suffering misfortune, and Chihaya Aine felt sorry for her.

But from what she knew, it would be difficult for Tokinoya Mion to recover her legs.

At this moment, hearing Izumi in the room still comforting Tokinoya Mion, Chihaya Aine, who was squatting at the door, didn't know how to describe her feelings. She felt that her brother's behavior was a bit unnecessary. Giving a girl unrealistic hope would only make the other party more painful when her hope was shattered.

"But... when will it get better? I..."

The girl's voice gradually became lower, and Chihaya Aine sighed in her heart, thinking that her brother shouldn't talk about her legs to Tokinoya Mion.

"You don't understand girls' minds at all, can't you be more tactful? We've met so many times, can't you avoid this topic?"

Without hearing her brother's answer, the room seemed a little quiet, which made Chihaya Aine, who was eavesdropping, feel confused and then nervous.

"What's wrong? It's so quiet all of a sudden... Did they know I was at the door? ! "

Just when Chihaya Aine was thinking about sneaking back to her room, the voice of Noya Mion was heard again in the room.

"I believe in my brother... so, don't abandon me until my legs can walk again..."

Chihaya Aine, who was squatting at the door, had a confused look on her face.

She felt as if she seemed to have missed a lot of conversations between the two, as if she had just entered the game and greeted the villagers, and the next scene was the defeat of the demon king, and it was said that the hero and the demon king's princess lived a happily ever after.

Chihaya Aine, who was leaning against the door, glanced at the door beside her. She was confused, pursed her lips, stopped listening, stood up silently, and went back to her room quietly.

After returning to her room, Chihaya Aine would still put her ear against the wall from time to time, paying attention to the situation in the next room.

But until she felt very sleepy and fell into a deep sleep in her room, she didn't hear any embarrassing noises, which made her feel a little relieved.

She fell into a deep sleep, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was already 9 o'clock in the morning.

"..."

The girl opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw the time, she didn't care much. It was still vacation, and there was nothing urgent to do, so she slowly sat up from her bed.

She was wearing light pajamas. She opened her arms and moved her delicate body which had slept all night. She shook it gently, and her messy long hair fluttered and became straight.

Then she sat quietly on the bed for a while, and then she vaguely remembered some things that happened last night.

"Are you still in the room now?"

Turning her head to look at the wall, Chihaya Aine felt conflicted inside, slowly got up from the bed, and hurriedly left her room. When she arrived at the door of her brother's room, she hesitated for a moment, then reached out and gently knocked on her brother's door.

"Quan, it's already morning, can I come in?"

After giving a reminder to the room, Chihaya Aine slowly opened the door in front of her and then entered Izumi's room.

"……Eh?"

The room was empty, and her brother and Tokinoya Mion were nowhere to be seen. Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment, then she turned around and looked behind her, her brows furrowed.

"Have you gotten up and left yet?"

There was a subtle sense of loss and unhappiness in her heart. She pursed her lips tightly, then slowly walked to the edge of the bed. After her eyes wandered around the room, they fell on Quan's trash can.

"..."

Nothing.

Peace of mind.

Chihaya Aine walked silently towards the door and left Izumi's room.

"..."

But just as she walked out of the room, Chihaya Aine seemed to realize something. She suddenly stopped, looked back at the room, and her eyes fell on the trash can.

“Wait…eh?”

……

“Is it okay not to invite Aine-san?”

Tokinoya Mion, who was walking in the zoo with Izumi, asked Izumi with some concern.

"It's okay, she's resting, there's no need to disturb her, and... doesn't Mio want to visit the zoo alone with me?"

“Of course not… But… wouldn’t Aine-san be angry if she knew?”

Looking down slightly at the girl's worried expression, Quan just smiled at her.

"Don't worry, it won't happen."

"……Um."

After hearing what Izumi said, Tokinoya Mion felt relieved. She pursed her lips into a faint smile and followed Izumi to concentrate on touring the zoo.

Now, with Izumi's company, Tokinoya Mio feels very happy.

"Brother Quan."

"Ok?"

"nothing."

He looked at the girl doubtfully, and then seeing the happy expression on her face, Quan also smiled and silently pushed the girl forward.

There was still nothing to do today, so I thought about spending another day with Tokinoya Mion. After the two of them visited the zoo and stayed in a nearby park for a while, Izumi sent Tokinoya Mion back to Tokinoya's house just before dusk.

There was no one at home for the time being because of a series of changes in 'Fox One', and Mio's mother and brother were both very busy during this period. Izumi stayed at the Tokinoya family until Tokinoya Satomi and Tokinoya Shun both returned home, and then he said goodbye to Tokinoya Mio.

"spring."

As soon as he left the apartment, Tokinoya Shun came out with him and followed Izumi who was preparing to go home.

"Ok?"

"Mio...Isn't it causing you any trouble?"

The boy was silent for a moment and looked at his friend in front of him. After a moment's silence, he asked a meaningless question.

"of course not."

"...That's good. Then...Mio, I'll trouble you to take care of me from now on."

As a brother, Tokinoya Shun, even though he knew a lot of things, it seemed that the only thing he could do for his sister now was to support her. After walking out of the apartment with Izumi and looking at the boy in front of him, Tokinoya Shun had a lot of things in mind, but he couldn't say them out loud.
