I.W.B.A.L

　　"Nothing...nothing, just normal..."

　　"I saw it. You kissed him goodbye last night, right?"

　　Looking at the blushing Setsuna in front of him, Saionji Sekai entered the room, leaned close to Setsuna's ear, and whispered softly in her ear with a charming and gentle voice.

　　When her cheeks turned rosy, she looked at the world in front of her.

　　"Why?"

　　"I was just bored and looked outside the house, but I didn't expect to see you. It seemed that you were at the door of Miyamizu-kun's house. I looked at you a few more times out of curiosity. I didn't expect that the two of you had developed to this extent."

　　"No, I just... confessed and agreed."

　　Looking at the Setsuna in front of her who suddenly became shy, and thinking of herself who failed in her confession, Saionji Sekai felt complicated. Looking at the silent Setsuna in front of her, she stretched out her arms, hugged Setsuna tightly in her arms, and rubbed Setsuna in front of her.

　　"Hey, have you told him about you and me?"

　　"Yes, Kento, I already know."

　　"Then let's go over together and introduce this dear friend of mine, Setsuna, who sacrificed himself for his friend!"

　　"..."

　　The time left for the start of school is getting shorter and shorter. Tomorrow is the last holiday, and the day after tomorrow he will go to school to attend the opening ceremony. Sitting in his room, Kento recalled the scenes he had experienced in school, and his mood became complicated.

　　"Eri...?"

　　After thinking about it, nothing has happened now, and I don't know the other party. Once I enter the school, as long as I don't contact the other party, nothing else will happen.

　　Keep your distance.

　　All you need to do is keep your distance.

　　He sat down at the desk and opened the book he bought. He had only read less than half of it so far. He planned to finish reading the book before school started. After reading three pages, he heard the doorbell ring.

　　"moment...?"

　　He glanced at the book in his hand, casually put a bookmark on it, closed it, and walked to the door.

　　"Good morning, Setsuna... and Ms. Saionji."

　　The person standing at the door was not only Setsuna as Kento had expected, but there was also a girl who was a little beyond his expectations. She was standing next to Setsuna and came to visit him together with Setsuna.

　　"Good morning, Miyamizu-kun."

　　"Good morning."

　　Looking at the two girls who appeared in front of his door, Kento said "Good morning" and let them enter his apartment.

　　Saionji Sekai entered Kento's apartment for the first time and observed the house with some curiosity. It was also the first time for her to enter the room of a boy of the same age. Although she came to visit Kento last time, she was unable to enter the house because of the letter he sent.

　　Now coming in and looking at the clean and tidy room, I feel a little surprised and amazed.

　　Under the general impression that boys' rooms should be messy and disorderly, even Saionji Sekai had some preconceived ideas about Kento's room, thinking that even if it was not messy, it would not be very good.

　　But at this moment, looking at this tidy room, Saionji Sekai was really surprised.

　　His eyes fell on Kento walking in front. Looking at the young man's gentle and polite temperament, as well as his handsome face, it didn't seem to be something particularly surprising that he had tidied his room so cleanly and tidyly.

　　Rather, it is supposed to be this way?

　　Kiyoura Setsuna, who entered the room with Saionji Sekai, has been paying attention to his friend since entering the room.

　　She noticed that the world's attention was always on Kento. Although she did not show any reaction or expression, she had already raised her vigilance to the highest level in her heart, always ready to be on guard against her friends, who would stab her in the back without her knowing...

Cherry Blossom Season: 24. Today's Loser - Saionji World

　　As if to declare sovereignty, when the three of them entered the house, Kento poured tea and just sat down, the next moment they sat in Kento's arms in front of the world.

　　"that...."

　　Looking at Setsuna sitting in the arms of Kento, Sekai Saionji on the opposite side looked at Setsuna's face, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

　　"What's wrong, world?"

　　Kiyoura Setsuna looked at his friend and asked Saionji Sekai with a natural and calm expression.

　　"No... Even if you two are already dating, being so close in front of me is a bit..."

　　"What?"

　　"No, nothing."

　　Seeing that Sekai was completely unmoved, Saionji Sekai could only swallow the dog food in silence, silently picked up the teacup in front of her, and used drinking tea to cover up her embarrassment.

　　As the owner of this room, the moment Kento took a look at the girl in his arms, he no longer felt uncomfortable as he did at the beginning. He lowered his head to look at the girl in his arms, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

　　"I went a little too far last time. Although Setsuna has already explained it, I think it would be better to introduce myself again."

　　Her gaze paused on Shanna for a moment. She felt that if she continued to look, she would become depressed. So she moved her eyes upwards to Kento's face and reintroduced her identity in a way that was a little different from last time.

　　"My name is Saionji Sekai. I'm the same age as Setsuna this year. We're both freshmen who will be attending Sakakino Academy. I'm also Setsuna's good friend who grew up with me. Last time, I was curious because Setsuna seemed to have someone she liked, so I came to check out the situation and test the waters a bit."

　　Putting his hands together in front of himself, Sekai Saionji apologized to Kento.

　　"I'm so sorry!"

　　"It's all in the past. I don't take it to heart, so there's no need to worry about it."

　　Looking at the apologetic expression of the black-haired girl, Kento didn't care much. When he heard the confession of Saionji Sekai, he was very surprised. It was the first time for him to be confessed to when they just met.

　　However, after hearing Setsuna's explanation, he felt it was normal. How could an ordinary person confess his love the moment they met?

　　In addition, the name "Saionji World" itself represents a deterrent force, which is more like a simple tease and temptation, making Kento feel more at ease.

　　Seeing her natural expression, it seemed that she really didn't take it so seriously. Saionji Sekai was speechless for a moment, and smiled awkwardly. She felt a great sense of loss in her heart. She didn't expect that her confession had no effect on Miyamizu at all, which made her doubt herself.

　　However, the so-called suspicion was only a momentary thing, and her attention was mostly occupied by her curiosity about their relationship.

　　He felt lost for a moment, then he started asking about their relationship.

　　"At that time, I remember that Miyamizu-kun rejected me because he said 'I'm not ready to date before college'? But why are you willing to date Setsuna now? Was he just trying to get by with my answer back then?"

　　A cunning look appeared on Saionji Sekai's face. She asked Kento about the doubts in her heart. She wanted to know why Kento was dating Setsuna, and at the same time she gave a small gift in return. The other party rejected her idea at that time.

　　The moment she sat in Kento's arms and heard the questions about the world of Saionji, she was actually a little curious in her heart. She didn't understand why Kento was shaken at that time. She wanted to understand Kento's psychological changes at that time, so she slightly raised her snow-white neck and looked at Kento's face.

　　The two girls focused their eyes on themselves, noticing the cunning in Saionji Sekai's eyes, and roughly guessed why the other party asked in this way.

　　There was not much trouble in his mind, so he spoke his thoughts frankly.

　　"Because it was the first time I met Ms. Saionji, and we hadn't interacted much, I heard that Ms. Saionji had a 'good impression' of me, which surprised me a little. So after careful consideration, I used this reason as a reason to reject her."

　　"So you said something like 'I'm not planning on dating until I graduate from college' just to reject me?"

　　"No, I really had such an idea, but later Setsuna came to me and explained to me about Miss Saionji and her feelings for me, and I rejected her for the same reason."

　　Blinking, Saionji Sekai didn't know that Setsuna had been rejected before. Looking at Setsuna sitting in the arms of Kento, she was a little dazed.

　　"That?"

　　"But Setsuna's feelings...are very sincere. After considering it, I offered to try to date Setsuna as long as her family agrees."

　　"So Miss Kiyoura also knows about this?"

　　Saionji Sekai was completely stunned and looked at her good sister in surprise.

　　Facing the surprised expression of Saionji Sekai, Setsuna nodded calmly, then shrank slightly in Kento's arms, and pressed her body a little closer to Kento's.

　　"Ms. Kiyoura, didn't she object?"

　　"My mother is very supportive."

　　After entering the house, there was basically no conversation. Just a single sentence was enough to completely destroy Saionji's world.

　　"I see, so Kiyoura-san also supports Setsuna... Ahahaha..."

　　Seeing the forced smile of Saionji Sekai, Kento and Setsuna remained silent. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and Setsuna even felt that he was taking Kento too much by dominating him so strongly...

　　Fortunately, Saionji Sekai had a good ability to adjust herself, and she quickly got rid of the heavy feeling that she had no chance. She regained her usual spirit, began to adjust the atmosphere, and chatted with Setsuna and Kento about the upcoming school.

　　Because they are in different schools, Saionji Sekai expressed great regret that Setsuna and Kento cannot go to school together on weekdays.

　　"It's a pity that we can't snuggle together at noon on weekdays, and Setsuna can't feed the bento he made to Miyamizu-kun himself..."

　　"There's no chance for the two of us to go to school and go home together like in the comics."

　　"It would be nice if it was a school."

　　Looking at Setsuna who was sitting in the arms of Kento with a sly smile, the only psychological comfort that Saionji Sekai could find now was probably teasing her like this.

　　But the moment he sat in the arms of Kento, he completely destroyed the world of Saionji with just one sentence.

　　"Tonight, I'm going to stay here and sleep with Kento."

　　"....."

　　The smile froze on his face, and Saionji's world was completely defeated.

　　The CV of Kotonoha Katsura is the same person as Nogizaka Hatsuka. I really didn't notice this.

Cherry Blossom Season: 25. My friend called her daughter's boyfriend's name when she was sleeping

　　Another day's work is over.

　　Qingura Mai did not go home directly as usual, nor did she go to Kento's apartment like she did yesterday.

　　After finishing some affairs in the company and waiting until the end of get off work, I felt like a burden had been lifted from my body and became relaxed. I picked up my bag, said goodbye to other colleagues, and went to the restaurant that I seldom went to on weekdays.

　　The family restaurant 'Radish' is the family restaurant that Yuko Saionji inherited as the second daughter of the Ino family. It is also the property of her grandfather, the wealthy Inoue.

　　Mai Kiyoura looked at the family restaurant in front of her and the familiar sign. Her mother, Ino Kagura, also ran a similar family restaurant.

　　Because Ze Yuezhi, who was undoubtedly a complete scum, had managed the family business in a disorderly manner, and with the blind support of his mother and grandmother, the entire family business had been heavily in debt for some time.

　　When Kiyoura Mai was young, she went through a very difficult and dark life.

　　Even though the family members worked hard to overcome the difficulties with the inheritance left by their great-grandfather Inosuke, the wealthy family completely declined, and only these family restaurants remained.

　　It was precisely because of the family's dark past that Kiyoura Mai left her own restaurant when she was old enough to live independently and lived outside with Kiyoura Setsuna.

　　In the entire Ino family, she only became friends with Saionji Yuko because of their two children and past lovers, and they occasionally contacted and met.

　　Today, because of her daughter's problem, she didn't know how to go back home to face her daughter for a while, so she chose to come to the restaurant alone to find Saionji Yuiko, who is her mother's sister but the same age as her, to meet and chat with her and relieve her inner depression.

　　Just from the perspective of seniority, she should have called Saionji Oko "Aunt", but Kiyoura Mai's father is the same person as Saionji Oko's father.

　　Sawakoshi and Saionji Oko's mother Ino Moe gave birth to Kiyoura Mai's mother Ino Kagura and Saionji Oko, and then gave birth to Kiyoura Mai with Kiyoura Mai's mother Ino Kagura, who was Sawakoshi's eldest daughter...

　　Due to the complicated blood relationship within the family, the two people who are close in age gave up their blood relationship and usually just get along as normal friends.

　　When Yuko Saionji was standing in the store in her work clothes as usual, observing the staff and some unfamiliar customers, she noticed Mai Kiyoura who walked in from the door.

　　"Mai."

　　When Kiyoura Mai entered the restaurant, she saw Saionji Yuko working and was the first to greet her.

　　"Mai, why are you here today?"

　　"I want to consult you about something. Do you have time?"

　　Because it was just the end of the working day, there were not many people in the store. Only about a quarter of the seats in the entire store were occupied, so it was not very busy and Saionji Yuko did not need to help with anything.

　　In addition, it was rare for Kiyoura Mai to come as a guest, so it was natural for Saionji Yuko to not entertain her personally.

　　"Of course, come with me."

　　Leading Kiyoura Mai into the store and sitting down in a relatively secluded corner, Saionji Oiko brought over two cups of coffee, handed one to Kiyoura Mai and placed the other in front of herself, looking at Kiyoura Mai in front of her with some curiosity.

　　"What happened?"

　　"Has that man contacted you recently?"

　　That man is Mai Kiyoura's nickname for her original lover, the father of Sekai Saionji and Setsuna Saionji, and the half-brother of Mai Kiyoura and Oko Saionji, Shun.
