I.W.B.A.L

　　In response to Saionji Sekai's concern, Setsuna smiled. That smile seemed to be the transformation from a little girl to an adult, which made Saionji Sekai feel even more entangled. She sighed and let Setsuna do as she pleased.

　　After taking a look towards Kento's apartment, Saionji Sekai looked at Setsuna beside him.

　　"Where's Miyamizu-kun? Haven't you gotten up yet today?"

　　"He's awake. He's probably washing up at home and will go to school soon. Let's go. It's time to go to school."

　　Looking at the girl beside him walking forward with an unnatural gait, Saionji Sekai wanted to say something but stopped herself, and reluctantly followed the girl towards the school.

　　Kento, who had woken up a long time ago, sat quietly on his bed. He had changed the sheets and quilt covers into his own. As for Setsuna's set, it had been put back home by Setsuna. When the girl left, she held it in her arms, as if she was going to keep it in her room.

　　Not quite able to understand Setsuna's thoughts on this matter, Kento sat on his bed, gradually got up, silently lifted the quilt, got out of bed in his pajamas, and walked towards the bathroom.

　　He spent about half an hour washing up, took off his pajamas, put on Feng Zhiqi's school uniform, picked up his school bag, and left his apartment.

　　Time seemed to be limited, so when I passed by a convenience store, I bought a rice ball and a bottle of water as my breakfast, and walked straight to the school.

　　"The final boss can't be defeated using Yuuji's method, so I've already told you to complete the side quest first."

　　"It doesn't matter if I do it after I've cleared the main quest, right? Anyway, I'm only a little short of it. I'll definitely be able to clear it if I try again today."

　　"I've already said it... Why doesn't Yuuji like to listen to other people's advice?!"

　　"You're so nagging! Mingjiu, you just love to nag!"

　　"Yuuji!"

　　As soon as I entered the classroom, I heard Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji arguing again. They obviously have a good relationship, but I can see them bickering and insulting each other all the time.

　　"Good morning, Akihisa, Yuuji."

　　After walking to his seat, Kento greeted the two people. The two people who were arguing also stopped and greeted Kento.

　　"Good morning, Kento."

　　"Good morning."

　　Looking at Kento who had already sat down, Yoshii Akihisa brought up the conflict between himself and Sakamoto Yuji and the game they had conquered together yesterday.

　　"Yuuji is such a mess. It would be better if Kento was here. By the way, was Kento home alone yesterday?"

　　"No, I'm with my girlfriend."

　　"I see, it's with my girlfriend...my girlfriend..."

　　Nodding and following Kento's words, Yoshii Akihisa subconsciously answered. Then, a flash of lightning flashed through his mind, and his whole body went numb. He opened his eyes wide, turned his head to look at Kento, who was already sitting in his seat and tidying up the table, and exchanged a tacit look with Sakamoto Yuji.

　　Two figures quietly approached Kento's seat and sandwiched him from the front and back. Yoshii Akihisa supported himself on Kento's desk with one hand, while Sakamoto Yuji moved closer to Kento and put one hand on his shoulder. Their seemingly casual movements blocked all of Kento's escape routes.

　　"Hey, Kento already has a girlfriend. This is an accident~"

　　Looking up, looking at Yoshii Akihisa who had a forced smile on his face, and Sakamoto Yuji who had a slightly ferocious smile beside him, Kento was silent for a moment.

　　"No, it's just female friends. You misunderstood me."

　　"Wow, female friends~ This is really interesting. I remember that you, Kento, used to live in Gifu. Did you say that yourself? You've only been in Tokyo for a few days, and you already have female friends?"

　　Sakamoto Yuji's ferocious smile gradually approached Kento's face.

　　Looking at Yoshii Akihisa, who had bitten his lip but was still trying to smile, and Sakamoto Yuji, who had a ferocious look on his face, Kento's eyes flickered for a moment.

　　I can't help but sigh in my heart about the jealousy of adolescent boys, it's really terrible.

　　Just as Kento was thinking about how to calm the two people in front of him, another figure approached.

　　"Hey, good morning, Kento, and Yoshii-kun, Sakamoto-kun, what are you guys talking about? It looks like you're having a lot of fun."

　　Nakano Ichika came closer again, calming the originally raging situation a little. However, after hearing how Ichika addressed the three people, Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji looked at Kento at the same time, and then explained to her with a smile.

　　"No, nothing. I just asked what our good friend Kento did yesterday. He told me and Mingjiu that he spent the whole day with the cute girl next door... or something~"

　　As if he suddenly came to life, Sakamoto Yuji answered Nakano Ichika with a smile on his face, and his voice was a little louder, so that everyone in the class could hear it clearly.

　　"....."

　　Looking at Sakamoto Yuji, meeting the man's eyes full of malice, Kento could only sigh that he had met the wrong person.

　　"This guy...."

　　The moment the words fell, the classroom fell into silence. Everyone in the classroom looked at Kento. Eriri, who had just entered the classroom and sat down, stiffened suddenly after hearing what Sakamoto Yuji said.

　　As for Yoshii Akihisa, he nodded. He and Yuji didn't care whether Kento was dating that female neighbor or not. He and Yuji just wanted to make Kento completely stop thinking about making a move on the girls in this class.

　　After looking at each other, Akihisa Yoshii and Yuji Sakamoto showed devilish smiles.

　　"Eh? What kind of kid is the girl's neighbor?"

　　But unexpectedly, Nakano Ichika in front of him did not waver at all after hearing this. Instead, she asked with great interest about Kento's "female neighbor".

　　"....."

　　Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji were stunned and looked at Kento in silence.

　　"She's a very cute child, petite, about 1.4 meters tall, with shoulder-length hair, and she likes to wear a red bow headband..."

　　While Kento was thinking and describing that moment, Eriri, who was sitting at the desk, clenched her hands tightly, her fingers turning white, and pursed her lips. She resisted the urge to look at Kento, lowered her head, and felt complicated for a moment.

Cherry Blossom Season: 60. Can I go to your house? [Subscribe]

　　Three days have passed since the day she fainted. During these three days, the scenes she dreamed of when she fainted did not fade with the passage of time. Instead, they became clearer and clearer in her mind. She became more and more concerned about the boy named 'Miyamizu Kento'.

　　It was as if I really fell in love with him. When I closed my eyes, his figure would appear in my mind. During this period of time, I didn't dream about that dark nightmare again, but I dreamed of many embarrassing scenes...

　　Now, she could hear the conversation behind them showing Kento and his neighbor girl being very intimate, and Eriri, who hadn't dreamed about this part, suddenly became concerned.

　　"I see. So Kento likes petite and cute girls like that?"

　　After listening to Kento's description of Setsuna, Nakano Ichika nodded thoughtfully and looked at Kento in front of her with a teasing look.

　　"I don't have a specific type that I like. Whether I like someone or not depends on my compatibility with the other person."

　　"I don't dislike serious answers."

　　Looking at Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji whose eyes were starting to turn red, Kento wisely chose not to answer this question.

　　Until the bell rang, Nakano Ichika returned to her seat, Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji gave Kento a meaningful smile, then returned to their respective seats and started the class.

　　Kento thought that it would be quite easy for him to return to the classroom and relearn what he had learned, but after the formal class, reality gave him a heavy blow.

　　That's right.

　　The content and knowledge points that have been learned can indeed be easily understood by listening carefully, but the prerequisite is to listen seriously - for the content that has been learned and the boring knowledge points, Kento only listens to the first ten minutes and starts to feel drowsy after the last ten minutes.

　　Pinching his eyebrows, he tried hard to muster up his energy to look at the textbook in front of him and the teacher on the podium. He felt like a baby in a cradle, and could fall asleep at any moment.

　　After spending the entire class in a daze, Kento suddenly regained his spirits when the class was over. He stared blankly at the notebook in front of him. The first two pages were full of content, but the latter part became blank. He felt helpless for a moment.

　　He turned around and looked at Umetaro Nozaki behind him.

　　"Nozaki-san, can I take your notes? I didn't remember some of the content at the end."

　　"That's no problem. Here you go."

　　Even though he was not very proactive in communicating with others on a normal day, Umetaro Nozaki was indeed very kind. When faced with Kento's request, he handed him his notes without thinking.

　　"Thank you!"

　　After thanking the other party, Kento started to fill in the knowledge points and content in his notes again. A break time was barely enough for him. After he had memorized the content, he returned the notes to Nozaki Umetaro.

　　After the first class, Kento was still a little sleepy, but in the following classes, he was strangely not sleepy anymore. During the lunch break, he sat in the school cafeteria with Umetaro Nozaki and talked about this matter.

　　"The first class is mathematics?"

　　The first words that Umetaro Nozaki said were to sink Kento. He was silent for a moment, laughed, and changed the subject.

　　"When I came this morning, I saw you resting on the desk. Didn't you get enough rest last night?"

　　"Well, because of some things, I went to bed a little late, so I got a little sleep when I got to school, otherwise I wouldn't have enough energy."

　　"Something?"

　　"It's just a hobby, so I went to bed a little late. Don't worry about it."

　　Umetaro Nozaki did not tell the Kento in front of him about his comics. He had just entered school and did not know Kento well enough. He was not sure whether he would keep it a secret for him, so he did not consider telling Kento about this matter for the time being.

　　"Are there any hobbies?"

　　I first knew that Umetaro Nozaki was a cartoonist when I heard about it from other people when I graduated.

　　When they found out that he was actually a shojo cartoonist, both Kento and the other classmates were surprised. They could never imagine that such a tall and stern-looking boy could actually draw shojo cartoons. This further proved the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover'.

　　Nozaki Umetaro did not tell him about the comics, so Kento naturally would not ask any further. Any relationship has a gradual process, just like Setsuna and him, they first dated and then became friends... cough.

　　It is taboo to talk about deep things with people you just met in interpersonal communication. Kento just smiled and changed the topic to another direction.

　　Yoshii Akihisa brought his own lunch box, while Sakamoto Yuji bought bread. Kento got up late today and didn't have time to prepare his lunch box, and he didn't like dry bread, so he chose to go to the cafeteria.

　　However, I happened to meet Umetaro Nozaki and chatted with him for a while, which was not bad.

　　In the afternoon, during the break, Kento looked out the window at the blue sky, and the image of Setsuna appeared in his mind. For a moment, he was a little worried about how Setsuna spent the day, wondering how he was doing in school, and how his body was doing now...

　　It was not until the afternoon, after school, when Kento was preparing to go home, that two figures appeared at his side at the same time, like the left and right guardians of a Buddhist temple, and stretched out their hands and placed them on his shoulders on both sides.

　　"Hey, Kento, school is over. Let's go home together?"

　　Yuuji looked at Kento in front of him with a kind face, and said with a smile, which sounded like a question, but also sounded like an affirmation.

　　Looking at the two people who surrounded him, landed on his shoulders and held his shoulders tightly, Kento never thought that these two people actually remembered what happened in the morning.

　　"Well, it takes two hours to get to my house by Shinkansen. Forget it today. I'll invite you to visit my house during the summer vacation."

　　"It's not the house in Gifu, it's your apartment, Kento. Are you hiding something from Yuuji and me? You're not hiding anything from us, are you? Hey—"

　　Looking at Yoshii Akihisa who was approaching him with a dark smile on his face, Kento couldn't help but let out a vague look and sighed slowly.

　　"Okay, but I don't have anything at home, which may disappoint you."

　　"It doesn't matter. Mingjiu and I don't care about these things, so--"

　　"So--"

　　"Take us to your home and have a good time, Kento—"

　　— — — —

　　Haha, I dreamed that Groudon sat on me and I was crushed.

　　In addition, I need to take a break and update based on the situation [hint + open robbery]

Cherry Blossom Season: 61. Friendship is tested

　　Although he felt that Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji had some bad intentions, since the two asked to visit his home, Kento did not refuse. When he walked out of the classroom and out of the school, he was held on both sides by these two guys and walked all the way back to his apartment.

　　"Is Kento's apartment in this place? Yes, I've made a note of it."

　　He had already reached the door of his apartment when he suddenly heard Yoshii Akihisa speaking beside him. His tone sounded like a criminal scouting the place in advance, which made Kento glance at him slightly.

　　After saying this, Yoshii Akihisa noticed the gaze of Kento and responded with a smile as bright and gentle as spring.

　　"Don't worry, I'm not here to suspect Kento of betraying me and Yuuji. I've made a cute girlfriend first, so I'm going to come and execute him in the middle of the night after confirming his crime, ahahaha~"

　　"..."

　　He took out the key from his pocket, opened the door, and invited the two into his apartment.

　　"Excuse me—"

　　"Excuse me."

　　Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji entered the house. Looking at the clean and tidy room, Sakamoto Yuji was a little surprised. He did not expect that the living facilities in this apartment were so complete. Compared with Yoshii Akihisa's house, it seemed just a little smaller.

　　After arriving at the living room, Kento poured two cups of tea for them.

　　"Is this the apartment you live in, Kento? It's pretty nice. I'm a little tempted to live here by myself and I'm ready to move out of my home."

　　Yuuji looked at Kento's room and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

　　"This is Kento's room, isn't there a game console or TV?"

　　Yoshii Akihisa looked around the room but didn't find anything interesting. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Kento, wondering if he wouldn't feel bored at night?

　　"No, I just moved to Tokyo, and I've already spent a lot of living expenses just to buy some daily necessities. I don't have any extra living expenses for this."

　　"I see. Then...what about the girls?"
