In the anime series, Goto Ichiri is actually my childhood sweetheart?

On the first day of school, Eriri met someone like her. She didn't know if she was lucky or if there weren't as few people playing games as her mother said.

"Okay, students, the books have been distributed. If you are hungry, you can eat now or go to the cafeteria. Now is free time. When the bell rings, remember your seats and don't sit in the wrong place."

Teacher Hezi clapped her hands on the stage to attract everyone's attention, and then left the classroom.

"It's so fast. The morning is over in a flash."

Takahashi Kaede sighed to Goto Ichiri.

"By the way, classmates, there will be a class leader election this afternoon. If you are interested, please prepare!"

Teacher Hezi turned back halfway and added a sentence, and the classroom was filled with discussions for a while.

"How about we eat together?"

Eriri looked at the three people and asked.

"I'm fine with anything."

Akitomo also brought a lunch box.

"Let's eat on the rooftop. There are fewer people there and it's more comfortable."

He said this out of consideration for Goto Ichiri, and he also likes quiet places.

Ying Lili agreed and hummed a song as she walked, seeming to be in a good mood.

The door leading to the rooftop was locked in a perfunctory manner. Although the padlock was still closed, there was no bolt at all.

When I opened the door, the wind from the rooftop blew towards me, and it was quite strong.

He held the door open and let Goto Ichiri and the others walk through before gently closing the door.

The rooftop was clean and empty. It seemed that the primary school students were still afraid to do such unruly things.

Aki Tomoya was a little worried about being caught, but when he saw Takahashi Kaede's calm expression, his worries also started to change.

Chapter 7: Misaki Tanaka

The feeling of eating on the rooftop is amazing. Although we are in the school, it feels like we have broken the rules and are free.

Everyone sat in a row on the small steps nearby. Goto Ichiri sat at the outside, followed by Takahashi Kaede, Eriri and Aki Tomoya.

Takahashi Feng opened the lunch box, and hot steam came out, emitting a faint aroma of meat.

"It's really rare to see a hot bento."

Eriri turned her head slightly and said that she felt a little strange to see the steam coming out of Takahashi Kaede's bento. After all, most people brought cold bento boxes, which were filled with instant foods like rice balls and sushi.

Gao Qiaofeng dissipated the heat, revealing the food inside. She couldn't tell what the dishes were for a moment.

"Well, I'm used to eating hot food, so I asked my family to buy a heat-insulated lunch box. I've actually eaten cold food for a while, but Goto Ichiri next to me thought hot food tasted better, so I switched to it."

"Cold dishes are much more convenient than hot dishes. If you want to keep hot dishes, you have to make more for dinner and heat them up before leaving. It would be a disaster if these oily dishes were left cold."

Goto Ichiri scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Feng, I want to eat this."

"Just pick it up. It's specially prepared for you. I can't eat so much."

Ichiri Goto loves Takahashi Kaede's dishes. Even the cook himself was surprised by how much he likes them. This exotic dish actually suits Goto Ichiri's taste perfectly.

Ying Lili looked at the intimacy between the two of them and had a thousand questions in her mind.

"Um, did you two know each other before?"

"Yes, we have known each other since kindergarten and have been playing together ever since."

"Eh--"

Although Eriri is young and has not yet reached the age of falling in love, she has been exposed to galgame under the influence (pollution) of her mother Sayuri Sawamura.

childhood sweethearts.

That was the best word she could think of.

She didn't know that Gao Qiaofeng had already labeled her as a lazy person.

"I've always felt that Goto-san...is a little bit afraid of people."

"Well, to be exact, both of us don't like being crowded together with too many people. The difference is that I'm used to it, but she's not."

After hearing what Takahashi Kaede said, Goto Ichiri felt a little disappointed. She had also been working hard, but she didn't know if it was because she hadn't found the direction, so she didn't make any progress.

"Goto-san, it's okay. I think Goto-san is very cute, like a little rabbit."

Eriri said very understandingly.

"Hey! Really?"

When Goto Ichiri heard someone praising him, he suddenly responded loudly. But when he realized that he had scared Eriri, he shrank aside to reflect on himself.

In fact, if Goto Ichiri's expression could be a little more cheerful, Takahashi Kaede thinks she would be very popular.

But as of now, she doesn't look like a little rabbit, but more like a mouse.

"Goto-san, you're really excited..."

Ying Lili didn't know what to say.

"She's like this, just get used to it."

While chatting, everyone finished their lunch.

"Wait, here's this."

When everyone was packing up and getting ready to leave, Eriri called them.

She took out another box, which contained some desserts.

She gave one to each.

Goto Ichiri held it in both hands with a sacred look on his face.

"Okay, stop being so exaggerated. Say thank you."

Takahashi Feng pushed Goto Ichiri, and she finally reacted and quickly thanked him.

"This is the dessert my mom asked me to bring to share with my classmates. I didn't want to share it myself!"

Gao Qiaofeng didn't know why she added the last sentence, but he still thanked her honestly.

Aki Tomoya was so moved that he burst into tears. How could a nobody like him not be forgotten?

"Okay, let's go back to the classroom."

After opening the door for everyone, Takahashi Feng signaled everyone to leave.

After turning around to lock the door, Gao Qiaofeng followed him down the stairs.

"Are you going back to the classroom directly? Why don't you walk around the school?"

"Goto and I are not interested in this. If we want to go shopping, we will wait until everyone has left. If you want to get familiar with the campus, you can go first."

"OK then."

Originally, Ilili wanted to walk and chat on the campus, but she left with a feeling of disappointment.

"Wait for me, I want to go too!"

Akitomo also followed.

When they were going downstairs with Goto Ichiri, a senior student passed by and saw them.

"No way, you found it at such a young age?"

The three brothers, who were chatting and laughing, were stunned when they saw the two pairs of freshmen coming down the stairs.

They stared at each other in disbelief.

Goto Ichiri didn't know what they were talking about. He was simply scared, so he held Takahashi Kaede's hand and hid beside him.

Children of this age like to think about all kinds of things, and Takahashi Feng expressed his understanding.

As soon as I sat down in the classroom, a girl suddenly came up to me.

"Hello, my name is Tanaka Misaki, you can just call me Misaki!"

A girl with a high ponytail and a bright smile on her face, giving people a positive feeling at first glance.

How could Goto Ichiri deal with such a person? He was so scared that he turned gray and dared not move.

"I'm Takahashi Kaede, this is Goto Ichiri, thank you for meeting you, Misaki-san."

Takahashi Kaede was a little stronger and asked her to shift her attention to herself so that Goto Ichiri could catch her breath.

"Just call me Misaki, why are you being so distant? We'll be classmates from now on! By the way, did you and Goto know each other before? I saw you guys were always together when I first entered the classroom!"

"We were classmates in kindergarten and agreed to go to the same school together."

"Wow! Is that so? I'm so envious. I don't have any friends in my class. By the way, where do you live? Is it far from school? My home is neither close nor far from here. It's too troublesome to take a bus, and it takes a long time to walk!"

A drop of sweat appeared on Gao Qiao Feng's forehead. Even he found it difficult to cope with such an overly enthusiastic person.

"Our house is very close, and I walk to school like you."

"I see... By the way! Where did you go to eat just now? I saw you brought lunch boxes, but I didn't see you in the classroom. Do you have a secret base? And, that girl who was with you just now was so cute. Is her name Eriri? Her skin is as white as a doll!"

Misaki leaned on the table, stars in her eyes, and talked non-stop. She thought it was amazing that she could play with people right after arriving at school. It was because of her admiration that she approached them so enthusiastically.

Takahashi Kaede felt a little dizzy, while Goto Ichiri melted in his seat like a vampire in the sun.

Chapter 8 Library

"Goto-san, don't hide in the trash can, it's dirty!"

After quickly withdrawing Goto Ichiri who wanted to escape, Takahashi Kaede faced Misaki again.

This is not Goto Ichiri's fault, it's just that Misaki is too enthusiastic. Any object, no matter how high its melting point, will melt when it is close to the sun.

"There's no secret base. We had dinner upstairs... By the way, Eriri is out walking around the campus, and there's a boy wearing glasses following her. You can go find her!"

"Really? Thank you!"

"Well—I must make friends with her!"

"Takahashi-kun, Goto-chan, we are friends now! Please give me your guidance in the future!"

Leaving behind these words, Misaki ran out of the classroom like a flash and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gao Qiaofeng let out a long sigh and finally calmed down.

“I think she’s amazing.”

Goto Ichiri quietly crawled out from under the table. She was greatly shocked by Misaki's enthusiasm.

We are all human beings, but the gap between me and others is so huge!

"Well, it's amazing to be this enthusiastic."

Even he had never met such an outgoing person.

Taking out the book, Takahashi Feng looked around. Students in the classroom had already started to gather in groups of three or four and form small groups. It seemed that this was the case in Japan. People didn't like large groups, only small groups.

This is also good. It is so comfortable to stay in your comfort zone and be surrounded by familiar people.

"Do you know that our school has a library? I heard that there is usually no one in there."

"The library. I'm not interested."

The voices of the two girls next to him were keenly caught by Goto Ichiri.

'No one in the library' was 'not interested'.

Doesn’t this mean that there are few people inside and it is quiet!

Goto Ichiri poked Takahashi Kaede's back.

"what happened?"

"Feng, did you hear what they said? There is a library, and there is no one there!"

"Um......"
