I.W.B.A.L

　　"It's not a question of whether I will do something to you, Saionji, but at this point in time, it's not appropriate for me to let you into my room. You know the relationship between Setsuna and me, and she would be unhappy if she knew."

　　"That's great, Setsuna has a boyfriend as good as Miyamizu-kun. I understand. So, can you take a walk with me outside for a while?"

　　Saionji Sekai handed a bottle of black tea to Kento. Looking at the girl in front of him, he closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment.

　　There's nothing wrong with not entering his room, but just walking with her and sending her home.

　　"I understand. Please wait a moment."

　　Kento returned to the house and closed the door. While Saionji Sekai was standing quietly at the door, Kento changed his clothes, put on a coat, took some change and student ID from his wallet, and went back to the door.

　　He opened the door and looked at the girl waiting at the door, then he walked out, closed the door and locked it.

　　"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

　　"No, I made a willful request and caused trouble for Miyamizu-kun. So, please accompany me for a walk at night~"

　　The drink that Kento had not taken was handed back to him. Kento hesitated for a moment, then took the drink and walked down the stairs with the girl...

　　— — — —

　　I adjusted my work and rest schedule and felt lonely. I had been up for a long time, but I only slept for four hours. I woke up with insomnia. When I washed my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror and saw dark circles under my eyes.

Cherry Blossom Season: 45.Hold a girls' gathering to promote friendship among classmates

　　The two came out of the house and on the way to send Saionji Sekai home, they passed by a park. At Saionji Sekai's suggestion, the two went into the park together to rest.

　　The girl went straight to the swing in the park, held down the hem of her skirt, sat on the swing, slightly bent her legs, pushed hard, and began to swing. Her skirt fluttered in the wind, attracting the attention of Kento who followed her into the park, who was attracted by the girl's smile.

　　The white and tender skin under the skirt was certainly very attractive, but he only took two glances, well, two glances.

　　"Saionji, do you come to this park often?"

　　Looking at the girl swinging on the swing, Kento didn't know what to talk about, so he randomly found a topic and asked her.

　　"Not often, I just take a rest here occasionally when I pass by. On weekdays, I stay at home and rarely go out."

　　Noticing that Kento's eyes were looking at her from time to time, especially his slightly sliding gaze downward, Saionji Sekai felt a little shy in her heart, but also gained a little more confidence. At least, she understood that the boy was not completely uninterested in her.

　　Even being interested in her body is better than having no interest in her at all.

　　"We'll be on holiday starting tomorrow afternoon. Have you ever thought about going on a date with Setsuna?"

　　The topic suddenly fell on himself and Setsuna. Kento glanced at the girl sitting on the swing and thought seriously about the other party's question.

　　He hadn't thought much about it before, but now that he was dating a girl, he couldn't just do nothing. At least dating was a must. But he hadn't received his royalties yet, his wallet was a little short, and he didn't know where to go. In addition, since he had an agreement with Setsuna, it seemed there was no need to go out this weekend.

　　"No, but I already have an appointment with Setsuna, so I'm not considering going out on a date this week."

　　Thinking of what she heard in her mother's restaurant, Saionji Sekai became depressed. She stared at Kento who was sitting on a bench nearby. She did not show her depressed mood, but instead showed an expression of "I see" and nodded slightly.

　　"I see. We already have an appointment. It seems that I can't go out with Setsuna on the weekend. I was thinking of going out with a classmate I just met at work to deepen our relationship. It just so happens that Kotonoha doesn't have anything else to do."

　　"..."

　　Looking at Kento who seemed to be in deep thought, Saionji Sekai quickly added fuel to the fire.

　　"Now that I've entered high school, I'm in a class with classmates I don't know. If I don't get along well with everyone at the beginning of the semester, it will be awkward for me to get along with them the rest of the time, right?"

　　As if she was seriously considering future school matters, Saionji Sekai looked at Kento with some regret.

　　"Now that we are all strangers, it would be great if we could hold a girls' gathering or some other activity to deepen our relationship..."

　　Looking at the sighing girl sitting on the swing opposite him, Kento always felt that she was reminding him to give up the agreement with Setsuna and let Setsuna go to the girls' meeting that the world talked about. Her expression was a little strange.

　　However, thinking about the suggestion from Saionji Sekai, which was indeed a good one, Kento was a little hesitant.

　　It's not that he was reluctant to give up his time alone with Setsuna, he was just hesitating about how to ask Setsuna to attend the girls' party. He himself didn't really care about 'graduating' with Setsuna. Even though he was young and full of energy, he wasn't that impatient.

　　He was more willing to consider Shanshan's future. Now that he had entered high school, especially when he had just entered high school, it was indeed a very important thing to maintain good relationships with those unfamiliar classmates.

　　If I let Setsuna miss this opportunity and fail to get along well with the girls in the class just for my own sake...

　　Looking at Kento who was thinking seriously, Saionji Sekai felt a little jealous. She didn't expect that her words would make Kento think so seriously for Setsuna. She pursed her lips slightly and her eyes wandered.

　　"However, since Setsuna cannot participate, we can only temporarily..."

　　"It doesn't matter what I agreed with Setsuna. Attending the girls' gathering is just a daytime activity, so Setsuna can participate."

　　"You don't mind? You can be alone with Setsuna."

　　With a slight smile, Kento seemed extremely calm, without any expression of regret.

　　"Even if we are dating, we don't need to be together all the time. Besides, life is long and there is enough time. Moreover, even if you are not by my side during the day, we will still have the opportunity to meet at night."

　　I have clearly come up with a good reason to stop Setsuna and Kento from taking that last step.

　　But he didn't expect that he was still one step short of winning and forgot that they could still meet in the evening.

　　Especially since the two families live so close to each other, there is no way to stop them even if they want to. There is no reason to stop the two people from meeting and staying together.

　　For a moment, Saionji Sekai's smile became a little stiff.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Kento noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Saionji Sekai's reaction, so he looked at the girl and asked her with concern.

　　When Saionji Sekai came back to her senses, her eyes couldn't help but wander for a moment.

　　"No, it's nothing. I just didn't expect that you, Miyamizu-kun, would care so much about Setsuna. If you didn't really like her, it would be hard for you to consider this step for her, right? Have you ever considered marrying Setsuna?"

　　"..."

　　They were apparently talking about the girls' gathering before, but suddenly they jumped to the topic of marriage, which surprised Kento.

　　"No, we won't consider that for now, right? Even if we want to consider it, at least we're old enough to get married. I'm only 16 this year, and Setsuna is only 15. We'll have to wait at least two years before considering it."

　　"Two years?"

　　Saionji Sekai's eyes lit up slightly, as if she saw something hopeful.

　　"Well, it will take at least two years. For now, Miss Mai doesn't object to my relationship with Setsuna, but the key is to see my parents who are far away in Gifu. My mother is easy to talk to, but my father might be a little strict... If my parents can't accept it, I guess I'll have to live in Tokyo from now on."

　　The serious answer made Saionji Sekai feel depressed and confused at the same time.

　　"Does my parents' disapproval have anything to do with living in Tokyo?"

　　As a person who originally lived in Tokyo, it was difficult for him to understand the feelings that Kento had for Gifu, his hometown.

　　— — — —

　　Haha, everyone is waiting for me to update.

　　When I closed my eyes yesterday, I dreamed that a married woman squeezed me until I passed out. When I woke up, it was already dawn.

Cherry Blossom Season: 46. What evil intentions could the Saionji world have?

　　After staying in the park for about half an hour, Kento felt that it was already very late, so he sent Saionji Sekai back to her apartment.

　　"Um, Miyamizu-kun, why don't you come to my house and sit for a while?"

　　When she was about to leave, Sekai Saionji called Kento and invited him to her home.

　　After hearing the girl's words, Kento looked back at the girl behind him and shook his head slightly.

　　"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. You still have to go to school tomorrow. Good night, Miss Saionji."

　　"...Goodnight, Miyamizu-kun."

　　After bidding farewell to the Xiyuanji world, the figure of Kento gradually sank into the darkness and disappeared from the sight of the Xiyuanji world...

　　When she returned home and closed the door, she saw her mother, Saionji Yuko, who had just walked out of the bathroom. She was sitting quietly in the living room, watching the night show. When she came home, she turned her head to look at her.

　　"Why did you just get home and ask me to bring you back some sanitary napkins?"

　　"I forgot."

　　Staring at her daughter in a long dress, Saionji Oko's mouth curled up slightly. She looked at her daughter for a while, without asking too many questions, and stood up from the sofa in the living room.

　　She turned off the show with the remote control and headed towards her room.

　　"Well, go to bed early."

　　"I know."

　　Looking at Saionji Okoko returning to her room, Saionji Sekai responded sullenly, turned off the lights in the living room, and returned to her room.

　　In the dark room, at the moment when she was about to turn on the light, she stopped her action, did not turn on the light, quietly came to the edge of her bed, found her telescope, stepped on the bed with her small feet covered with cotton socks, and walked to the window little by little, looking out of the window -

　　The thin figure walked forward alone on the street. It only took a minute for Saionji Sekai to find the returning Kento under a street lamp.

　　Quietly watching the boy's back, Xiyuanji World felt like she was back home. Her empty heart was gradually filled up again. She stared at the figure, gently grabbed the hem of her skirt with one hand, and hesitantly lifted it up a little bit...

　　On the way back home, Kento always felt as if someone was staring at him. The inexplicable feeling made him look back, but he found nothing. He looked in the direction of the Saionji house, and it was also pitch black.

　　He withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly, and walked forward silently. In his mind, the image of the previous Saionji world still appeared in his mind.

　　He had probably noticed Saionji Sekai's feelings, but since he was already dating Setsuna, it was obviously impossible for him to date other girls, so when faced with Saionji Sekai's various hints, he just pretended not to understand.

　　Along the way, she hinted to him at least five times that she also wanted a lover like Kento. At the same time, she approached him no less than ten times, their bodies pressed against each other from time to time, and then quickly separated.

　　"It's such a headache."

　　Because of the friendship between Saionji Sekai and Setsuna, Kento had to consider Setsuna's thoughts, so he didn't pay too much attention to Saionji Sekai's suggestive behavior, nor did he reprimand her.

　　He did not deny that he enjoyed it to some extent, but his basic stance still made him not show any emotion when facing the temptation of Saionji's world.

　　He walked all the way back to his apartment. Looking at the lights of Qingpu's house opposite that had been turned off, he slowly returned to his apartment, opened the door and went into the house. After a simple wash, he lay down on his bed early to rest.

　　I woke up early in the morning, washed up, put on my school uniform, and when I went out, I saw Setsuna and Saionji Sekai standing together, seemingly preparing to go to school.

　　"Good morning, Miyamizu-kun."

　　The moment she noticed Kento, Saionji Sekai greeted him with a smile full of energy.

　　Kento nodded.

　　"Good morning, Saionji, and Setsuna."

　　"Good morning, Kento."

　　When he saw the two of them, Kento's mind flashed back to the scene of himself and Saionji Sekai going out for a walk last night. His eyes fell on Setsuna, and he remembered what he had talked about with Saionji Sekai yesterday.

　　Today, the other party seems to be planning to hold a small girls' meeting?

　　"Today, I may be back late. If you want to see me, please wait until the evening. I may not be at home in the afternoon."

　　After hearing the words of Kento, Qingura Setsuna looked at Kento in front of him, blinked, a little confused, but still nodded.

　　"I see."

　　"Well, it's getting late. I should go to school, and so should you two. Don't be late."

　　After waving goodbye to the two girls in front of him, Kento walked towards his school, leaving the two girls behind. Saionji Sekai watched Kento's back as he left, and his eyes fell on the girl next to him.

　　"Come on, Setsuna, we should almost be going to school."

　　Thinking of the suggestions he and Kento made last night, Saionji Sekai smiled at Setsuna.

　　"Um."

　　On the way to school, Kento himself didn't know what he should do in the afternoon. In order to let Setsuna attend the girls' meeting with peace of mind, he didn't plan to go home too early. He came to school silently and soon arrived at the classroom.

　　"Good morning~"

　　As soon as he entered the classroom, he heard someone greeting him. Turning around, he noticed it was Nakano Ichika.

　　I didn't expect that the other party had arrived at school so early. I looked back and saw that two of the five sisters had already arrived. In addition to Nakano Ichika, Nino had also arrived at the classroom.

　　"Good morning, Nakano-san."

　　"Eh? Didn't you call me Ichika last time? Now you call me Nakano-san?"

　　"Hmm? Sorry, I forgot, Ichika-san."

　　"You're so unfamiliar. It's okay to call me sister~"

　　Kento, who seemed to be older, was speechless for a moment when he saw Nakano Ichika acting funny in front of him. He just greeted her and went back to his seat. He glanced towards Eriri's seat, but did not see the girl. It seemed that she had not arrived at school yet.

　　Sitting in his seat, Kento opened his schoolbag, took out his textbooks, looked at the still empty classroom, sat quietly in his seat, turned his head to look at the blue sky outside the window, and began to think about what he should do in the afternoon.
