I have bound two systems.

"Indeed, he moved here not long ago. It seems like only a few days."

Yukinoshita Yukino told the truth.

When Isshiki Iroha secretly clenched her fists and the smile on her face became brighter, Yukinoshita Yukino paused for a moment and then continued to speak.

"There are just some circumstances that I feel I need to let you know."

Yukinoshita Yukino's sudden serious expression startled Isshi Iroha and made Yuigahama Yui sit up straight.

"Is it about...him?"

"kindness."

After a short moment of silence, Yukinoshita Yukino spoke again.

"These are just some of the situations I witnessed. To be honest, I don't have a deep understanding of them, so if you don't want to listen, I can..."

"No, please tell me!"

Isshi Caiyu interrupted her. She wanted to know all the information about Chisato Suzumiya.

"I understand."

Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and poured a cup of black tea for both of them. After sitting down again, she began to calmly tell them what she knew about Suzumiya Chisato.

“…Ah—it’s finally over.”

In the first music room, with a drawn-out wail, Touma Kazusa leaned back with her hands stretched out.

In front of her was a completed math problem.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me check it out. Kazusa, you should take a rest first."

Chisato Suzumiya peeled off the chocolate's packaging and stuffed it into Touma Kazusa's mouth, who opened her mouth slightly.

"Hmm... Goto-san didn't come today."

Touma Kazusa got up from her seat with her cheeks puffed out.

"Maybe she has something to do, but this is just right, now we can be alone together."

Chisato Suzumiya answered casually while sitting in her seat.

But in fact, it was because of his suggestion that Goto Ichiri did not come to the music room today. Various things happened last weekend and he did not go to see Kazusa. He felt it necessary to compensate her at other times. The main point was to treat everyone equally.

After all, they can meet each other every night during working hours at the Little Cat's place.

The phrase "a world for two" made Touma Kazusa blush slightly, and for a moment she looked a little embarrassed.

They had just confirmed their relationship not long ago, and she had not yet completely gotten used to this change in status, but that did not prevent her from giving a warm response when they were really intimate.

During this period, she tried very hard to make use of her spare time. After all, there were only a few days left before the monthly exam.

It may be unrealistic to want to get on the list by cramming at the last minute, but at least the results can't continue to be at the bottom as before, which would be too embarrassing.

Of course, the main motivation must come from the life direction planned for her by Chisato Suzumiya.

They will graduate together and go to the same university. Maybe they can keep a cat when they live together in the future. When they come home at night, they can go into the kitchen to cook together and snuggle up in the living room to lean on each other.

There are long-term plans that are far away from now, and naturally there are rewards that are within reach in the short term.

Touma and Sayaka also got his promise from Chisato Suzumiya.

After the results of this monthly exam come out, if her ranking rises by more than fifty places compared to before, he will take time out during the vacation after the school festival to take her to the beach to watch the sunrise.

It’s not a huge reward, but it gives Touma and Sa a lot of motivation.

What's important is not going to the beach or watching the sunrise, but having time to be with him, which is exciting enough.

"The accuracy has improved. If we keep it up, it will be easy to achieve the requirement I mentioned earlier. However, we still need to be careful."

He quickly drew out the wrong part of the exercise in his hand, and Chisato Suzumiya gave up his seat.

"Anyway, try to correct these mistakes yourself first. If you still can't do it, I'll teach you."

"Yes, Suzumiya-sensei."

The word "teacher" was emphasized by Touma Kazusa. She was intentionally replicating the way she and Suzumiya Chisato interacted with each other before they confirmed their relationship as lovers.

It’s just that now, the identities and positions of teachers and the taught have been reversed.

Touma Kazusa sat back in her seat. Before she started to do the questions again, she looked up and said the request she had been thinking about for a long time.

"Can I come visit your workplace tonight?"

…………

Chapter 237 The Approaching Crisis

The reason why Touma and Sa made such a request was actually very simple, and there was no complicated thoughts behind it.

She just wanted to take a look at her boyfriend's work posture, that's all.

Maybe I’ll secretly take one or two photos, but nothing else.

She thought that Suzumiya Chisato would agree immediately, but the actual situation was somewhat different from what she expected.

"Why do you suddenly want to go to where I work?"

Chisato Suzumiya asked with a gentle smile, and her hands moved to her lover's shoulders, gently kneading her soft hair.

In Touma Hesa's eyes, Suzumiya Chisato's smile was the same as usual, and there was no difference, but her female sixth sense told her that something seemed to be wrong.

But she ignored this little unnaturalness and didn't think too much about it.

She turned the gel pen in her hand and looked at the exercise paper.

"I just suddenly wanted to go and take a look. If you don't want to, forget it."

She thought she said this very naturally, but it sounded completely different to the listeners.

There was a sense of resentment in it, although it was very slight, it was not so difficult to detect.

To a certain extent, Touma and Sa are actually quite easy to understand once you spend some time with them.

Such emotional changes naturally could not escape the eyes of Chisato Suzumiya.

He pretended not to notice his lover's dissatisfaction and continued talking at his own pace.

"It's not that I don't want to, but the place where I work is very noisy and there's a strong smell of alcohol. Occasionally there will be uncivilized guests who ignore the rules and smoke indoors. I'm worried that you won't be used to that kind of place."

This statement worked. Touma Kazusa looked away from the paper and stopped spinning the gel pen in her hand. She looked up at Suzumiya Chisato again. The resentment in her eyes disappeared instantly, and she became a little worried and concerned.

"Is the environment of the exhibition hall where you work so bad?"

Suzumiya Chisato shook her head.

"I'm just raising these questions from your perspective. As for me, I'm not uncomfortable with this. This kind of work is definitely better than serving dishes in a restaurant or handing out flyers on the street."

Even though he said that, Touma and Saya were still a little worried.

She suddenly felt like a careless girlfriend. It had been a while since they got to know each other and had been dating, but she only just realized that Suzumiya Chisato was obviously working because she was short of money.

She wanted to help, but couldn't think of any good way for a while.

"If you think that what I said above is okay, and you can tolerate that I can't always take care of you when I'm working, it's okay for you to come. I can take you home after the evening."

After using the time gained from this brief conversation, Suzumiya Chisato thought quickly and finally said these words.

He thought a lot in that short time.

Since Hesa ​​made such a request, she must have thought about it for a long time.

If I take a firm attitude and don't let her go, it's unlikely that she will become suspicious.

What I need to worry about is whether she will find time to secretly come to my workplace out of curiosity.

Since problems are bound to arise sooner or later, it is best to solve them when you are prepared, rather than worrying about them every day.

The Shura field will come sooner or later, but it is too early now. Before that, it is better to avoid it if possible.

As expected, after hearing what Chisato Suzumiya said, Touma Kazusa was very happy, but she still pretended to be calm and confirmed again.

"If I go, I won't disturb your work, right?"

"Not as long as you don't stick to me like you usually do."

"Narcissist, who would do that?"

"Okay, then it's settled. Just think of it as a way to relax after studying hard these days. You can call home later. After school, we'll go to where I work, and then I'll take you home."

"Oh."

After the seemingly reluctant answer, Touma Hesha's lips curled up uncontrollably.

As for Chisato Suzumiya's part-time job due to lack of money, she also made a decision in her heart.

Then go and ask the mother who has been idle at home recently. Although she has been lazy at home all day recently, she is an adult after all, and maybe she can give her some mature and practical suggestions.

----

It’s break time between the second classes at Shimokitazawa High School.

Following the message she received on her mobile phone, Yamada Ryo came to the outdoor balcony protruding at the end of the corridor, where Ijichi Kouka was waiting for her.

"What's the matter with calling me out all of a sudden?"

"Just to inform you, our plans for tonight have changed, so we won't be going to practice at Fanxing."

"What happened? Did Yudai-chan or Pochi-chan ask for leave?"

Ichichi Hongxia shook her head.

"Neither. Actually, Pochi-chan invited us to her house. She said that she wanted to thank us for taking care of her all the time. She asked her mother to prepare a lot of delicious food for us at home. By the way, we stayed overnight at her house."

"That Pochi-chan took the initiative to invite us?"

Yamada Ryo pointed at himself, his speechless expression looking somewhat incredible at the moment.

After all, it was the extremely social Pochi-chan, so it was hard to believe that she would take the initiative to make such a request.

It is more reasonable for such a thing to happen to Kita Ikuyo who is shining all day long.

"I'm a little surprised too. This isn't Pochi-chan's usual style, but if I think about it carefully, maybe this is also the instruction of her family."

After making some simple guesses, Ijichi Hongxia waved her hand.

"Anyway, there's no point in worrying about these things. I've already promised Pochi-chan, and Yudai-chan has also agreed. You must come, right? After all, this can be considered a group activity for the band, and the most important thing is that there are delicious foods."

"I am going, but not for the food, but for the friendship between me and Pochi-chan. I don't want to disappoint her."

Yamada Ryo said righteously.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Ichichi Kouka answered perfunctorily, took out her phone and replied to Goto Ichiri to confirm the matter.

"Don't run around after school. Let's go to the station and meet up with Pochi-chan and Yudai-chan... Oh, by the way, since it's our first time going to someone else's house, we have to buy something. Let's stop by a fruit store or a cake shop."

"Eh--"

"En~"

Ichichi Hongxia showed her cat eyes,

"Looking at you, you probably overdrew your allowance for this month."

Yamada Ryo looked up at the sky.

"The wallet has its own mind, and I have no control over it."

"You're such an idiot..."

Sighing, Ichichi Hongxia shook her head.

"Anyway, I'll cover your share this time, but remember to pay me back later."

"I understand. I will return it, but I have another question."

"what?"

"What about Suzumiya-kun? Although he didn't say it explicitly, I think he is actually a member of the band that has ended. He was not present for many of our group activities. Isn't this a bit bad?"

Yamada Ryo expressed his thoughts.

Ichichi Hongxia actually thought of this, but she felt that this problem was not something she needed to worry about.
