He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"The reason why I want to be his idol is because I 'want to help him', and the reason why I work hard to cooperate with his plan is because of his enthusiasm for his dream... I I stand by his side to help him, not to achieve my goals."

Higuchi Enka was not the kind of person with strong desires, and because of this, she once chose to watch the backs of Kento Watanabe and Toru Asakura from behind... because for her, as long as she could be with them, This level of distance is enough for her.

Perhaps she did gain unprecedented happiness and fulfillment after becoming a responsible person, but she did not choose to become Kento Watanabe's idol just for this happiness.

"Care, consideration, security, and dependence. I have received enough from him since I was a child, so now...rather than asking for anything more from him, I want to do that more Someone who can give him something.”

"If what he needs is a qualified artist, then I will work hard to become his ideal artist. If he needs me to change my style, I will not hesitate to make changes... As for what he will do for him I don’t care what this gives back, and I have never thought about anything beyond this.”

Having said this, a rare and gentle smile appeared on Higuchi Enka's face.

"You and Miss Dai want to confess to him, want to be his girlfriend... it's up to you. I just want to do what he needs me to do."

"……………………"

Hearing Higuchi Enka's answer, Asakura Toru was stunned for a while, and then said:

"You...don't you like Xian Ren more than I thought..."

"maybe."

Probably because it was rare for him to discuss the topic of love so directly with Toru Asakura, Higuchi Enka rarely remained silent.

"I do have a favorable impression of wise people over the relationship between childhood sweethearts and friends, but I don't have that kind of obsession with a 'couple' relationship."

"That would be a huge disadvantage."

Toru Asakura's expression was a bit dissatisfied.

"If one day he no longer needs you, wouldn't you have no reason to be by his side?"

"Actually, I have always thought so. It's just that I didn't know until not long ago... It turns out that the wise man has always cared about me so much."

Having said this, Higuchi Enka's voice lowered a bit unconsciously.

"Even if he really doesn't need me at all, I can still watch him from behind as before."

"... Isn't this too strange?"

Toru Asakura seemed unable to understand Enka Higuchi's mood.

"Obviously, this feeling is indeed true, but this way of liking is a little too desireless..."

"There are many ways to like someone, and no one stipulates that my way is wrong, right?"

Higuchi Enka said so

Road:

"What's more, all the efforts I have made are to make him need me more, so in a sense, I may be approaching him in a more cunning way. Maybe that day...he It may become a constitution that makes it impossible to live without me.”

"Wow...what a dirty word."

It was the first time Toru Asakura heard such words from Higuchi Enka and couldn't help but cover his mouth:

"She suddenly changed from a Buddhist girl with no desires to a bad girl of Pua type."

"I don't need any comments."

Higuchi Enka gave Asakura Toru an annoyed look.

"Besides...you who unbuttoned the sage's buttons without authorization don't have the right to call me obscene, do you?"

"I never denied it... about the fact that I'm dirty."

"…………"

No counterattack is more invulnerable than simply admitting it.

Seeing Toru Asakura admitting his obscenity so openly and openly, Enka Higuchi didn't know what to say.

"In short, this is how I feel about Xian Ren. You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't interfere with Xian Ren's work."

"……Really?"

Asakura Toru said, while threateningly extending his hand to Watanabe Kento's shirt again.

"If you say that, then I will take action."

"I mean confession! Of course this kind of blatant violation is not allowed!"

Higuchi Enka gritted his teeth and pressed Asakura Toru's hand back again.

"Why do you think I want to send him back with you? It's just because I'm worried about this kind of thing!"

"...I won't do anything too extreme."

Toru Asakura curled his lips.

"It's nothing more than taking off his shirt and hugging him."

"This already constitutes a crime."

"It's okay, the sage will forgive me."

"but I do not know how."

Higuchi Enka narrowed her eyes and said:

"The current sage doesn't have the energy to deal with you yet, and I won't allow you to cause trouble for him."

"...Huh? Is that so?"

Toru Asakura was also inspired by Higuchi Enka's various obstacles to resist.

"In this case, I will wait here until you leave."

"Then I will guard you until you leave."

"...What if I stay here tonight?"

"...Then I will spend the night here with you."

Although there was a slight hesitation, Higuchi Enka decided to fight Asakura Toru to the end.

She was really afraid that Toru Asakura would do something radical to Kento Watanabe while she was away.

She was not worried about what would happen to Toru Asakura. She was mainly worried about whether Kento Watanabe would be in chaos the next morning because of this...

And she herself doesn't really want Toru Asakura to act so impulsively.

"Although this is a bit strange for me to say, you should at least give me some sense of being an idol, right?"

"Who do you think is the popular idol now? It's better to say that there is no idol more qualified than me."

"...No, I will never let you be in the same room with a wise man tonight!"

Higuchi Enka was completely convinced of this idea.

"No matter how long you stay here...I will accompany you."

"Okay, then let's stay here together tonight."

After hearing Higuchi Enka's announcement, Asakura Toru's face immediately showed a smile as if his plan had succeeded.

"Just like we did when we were kids... let the three of us sleep together."

"………………what?"

Toru Asakura's attitude changed so suddenly that Higuchi Enka was caught off guard.

Looking at Asakura Toru's eyes that instantly became clear and transparent, Higuchi Enka's mouth twitched and asked:

"Wait a minute, you...couldn't that be your plan from the beginning?"

"That's not true. I would definitely be happier if you were willing to let me be alone with Xian Ren...but I wouldn't hate it if the three of us could be together like we did when we were kids."

Asakura Toru said with a smile:

"Of course, I will sleep on the sage's left hand."

"...Is it because he likes to turn to his left side when sleeping?"

"Yeah...eh? No, how do you know?"

"........."

"Higuchi is indeed very nasty... maybe he is just as sultry as me."

"Let's be less verbose."

Higuchi Enka blushed and took out her cell phone.

"Anyway, I'll tell my mother that I'll go back later...if you change your mind, give it to me now."

"...Ah, I loved this comic when I was in junior high school... I'll read it again tonight."

"…………"

It seems... Asakura Toru will not leave here tonight no matter what.

(Sorry, sage, I will explain it to you tomorrow.)

Definitely get up earlier than Xian Ren tomorrow, otherwise it will definitely be very embarrassing...

Looking at the guy who was already browsing Kento Watanabe's bookshelf, Higuchi Enka thought in his heart.

Chapter 41: The world after a hangover is a little strange

Thirst, dizziness, and heat.

Multiple discomforts hit him all at once, making it very difficult for Kento Watanabe to lift the heavy weight.

eyelids.

During this period when his thinking ability and memory had not yet fully recovered, Kento Watanabe could only rely on vision to take the lead in regaining his perception.

However, the moment he opened his eyes completely, his ability to think that was about to recover suddenly came to a standstill again——

The short brown hair mixed with cyan highlights, the most familiar face, and the peaceful sleeping face that has removed all defenses...

……Eh?

…………Eh? !

Is it difficult? Is it possible that he is still dreaming?

The slow-starting brain was gradually recovering. In order to confirm whether the current moment was reality or a dream, Kento Watanabe tried to move his body.

However, only then did he realize belatedly that there seemed to be another warm and soft touch behind him, preventing him from turning over——

(…?)

After a brief period of hesitation and confusion, Kento Watanabe's thinking ability has mostly recovered.

The touch behind him, the heat in his body, and the dryness in his throat made him realize that he was awake at this moment.

And what was lying in front of him now... was undoubtedly his childhood sweetheart, Toru Asakura.

So...whose touch could it be that came from behind?

"………………Well."

I don't know if he felt Kento Watanabe's movements, but the touch behind him also moved slightly, and there was a slight grunt.

At this time, Kento Watanabe finally turned around and looked at the source of this feeling——

"..."*2

The source of that touch was looking at him with a pair of hazy sleepy eyes.

After seeing the same familiar face, Watanabe Kento's brain instantly regained consciousness. Memory, thinking, and senses were all restored to function, and they quickly helped him analyze the current situation.

First of all, it is not difficult to tell from the background, layout of this room, and the familiar touch beneath him that this is his room.

Then there was last night... He gradually lost consciousness while drinking with Uncle Higuchi.

If I guessed correctly, after that, these two children should have sent him home and successfully moved him to bed.

As for after that, after that...

The two of them just...sleeped here with him.

……kindness?
