I.W.B.A.L

　　After coughing lightly, Yoshii Akihisa looked down at Kento sitting in his seat as if nothing had happened.

　　"So, what's going on between you and Ichika-san? It's only been one or two days since the start of school..."

　　"It's been less than a week, and you're already together? You're quite capable, Kento."

　　Seeing Yoshii Akihisa counting the days with his fingers, Sakamoto Yuji directly pressed Yoshii Akihisa's head and asked him to move aside. He came to Kento and started teasing him.

　　"No, we're not together. We're just good friends. You may have misunderstood my relationship with her."

　　"But now everyone in the class thinks that you two are having an affair."

　　Facing the slowly raised little finger in front of him, Kento stretched out his hand, covered Sakamoto Yuji's little finger, and sighed helplessly.

　　"That's just your assumption. The relationship between Ichika and I is very pure, even purer than the water of the Ganges."

　　"Wow."

　　Sakamoto Yuji chuckled and did not answer. He looked at Yoshii Akihisa who was angry with him and raised his fist to signal him, and Yoshii Akihisa shut up.

　　"Well, keep up the good work. If you ever get a girlfriend, remember to introduce her to us."

　　Dragging Yoshii Akihisa back to his seat, looking at the two people quarreling, Kento chuckled, glanced in the direction of Nakano Ichika, chuckled, and shook his head.

　　He had a very good impression and feeling towards Nakano Ichika, but since he had already established a relationship with Setsuna, he would not confirm the relationship with other girls.

　　noon.

　　Everyone in the classroom walked out of the classroom, just like Kento who did not make lunch boxes yesterday, and walked towards the cafeteria. While walking on the road, there was one more person beside him.

　　"Are you still alone today?"

　　"Not with your sisters?"

　　"You can also come with us. Nino has a good impression of you. Perhaps you can try to attack Nino?"

　　Nakano Ichika, who doesn't care about her identity as an elder sister at all and even tempts Kento to attack her own sister, is an eye-opener for Kento. He never expected that there is such a sister.

　　"It sounds good, but forget it. I've just entered high school and I don't want to be labeled a 'scumbag'."

　　"Wow, you won't mind it anymore?"

　　"I didn't say that, did I?"

　　I walked into the cafeteria with Nakano Ichika, got our meals and sat together like we did yesterday, but there were a few more people today compared to the two of them yesterday.

　　"Excuse me!"

　　"Do you mind sitting here?"

　　"..."

　　"I'll sit here."

　　Just as Ichika and Ken found a seat and sat down, four figures followed closely behind them. They sat down at the same table as they were sitting.

　　Then all eyes fell on Kento, which made Kento a little uncomfortable for a moment. He turned his head to look at the four girls who looked almost the same as Ichika. Except for Miku who avoided his sight, the other three smiled back.

　　"..."

　　This was a slightly awkward lunch. Kento, who had been under constant gaze, no longer had the composure he usually had when he was with Ichika. Kento had to pay some attention to his image, and it was not appropriate for him to speak flirtatious in front of any girl other than Ichika.

　　He just took two quick bites and almost filled his stomach. Then he remembered what he had to do, so he stood up, said goodbye to Ichika, and left the cafeteria.

　　"I'm leaving."

　　Yotsuba looked at Kento's leaving back and couldn't help but sigh with regret, then observed Ichika's reaction.

　　"That's too much."

　　Miku looked at Nino and frowned slightly.

　　"If you really want to be with Ichika, then you'll have to get used to us sooner or later, right?"

　　Nino, on the other hand, answered Miku nonchalantly, her eyes fell on Ichika, and she noticed that Ichika's expression also seemed a little dull.

　　"What is the situation now, your relationship with him?"

　　"We are classmates. I wanted to get closer to him, but now it seems that the distance has suddenly widened."

　　Looking at Nino with a sigh, Ichika rubbed her forehead with her hand. She had thought that she could take advantage of the lunch opportunity to get closer to Kento, but she didn't expect Nino and the others to just sit beside her like that, leaving her at a loss as to how to chat with Kento.

　　After lunch, the distance between us didn't seem to be shortened at all, but instead there was a greater sense of distance.

　　Nino pursed her lips, feeling a little embarrassed, but she did not admit her mistake. She ate her lunch sullenly without saying a word.

　　As for Kento who left the cafeteria, after returning to the classroom, he began to look for Eriri. When he saw the blonde girl sitting in her seat, he went straight to her side.

　　"Do you have time?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 75. No Insider, Action Begins

　　When leaving the classroom with Eriri, they happened to meet the Nakano sisters who were returning to the classroom from the cafeteria. Ichika saw Kento and didn't expect that she would meet Kento coming out of the classroom just as she was about to go back to the classroom.

　　"Where are you going, Kento?"

　　"Something."

　　Smiling at Ichika, Kento led Eriri who was following behind him and walked down the stairs together. It was when they passed by each other that Ichika, whose attention was attracted by Kento, noticed the blonde girl behind him.

　　He looked at the blonde girl who walked with a fragrant breeze with some surprise. At the moment when they passed each other, their eyes met briefly. Ichika saw the vigilance in the girl's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash. After the vigilance gradually walked away from her, Ichika stood there in shock.

　　"As expected, boys still like blonde girls more, right?"

　　Nino, who was standing next to Ichika, watched the two people leave, and her eyes slowly fell on Ichika.

　　"Isn't it interesting?"

　　Watching Kento and Eriri disappear in the stairwell, Ichika turned around to look at Nino beside her and smiled nonchalantly.

　　This is very much in line with Ichika's style. Looking at Ichika who didn't seem to care much about her, Nino's mind showed the figure of Kento. She didn't understand why Ichika liked her so much. She silently put away her curiosity and walked towards the classroom.

　　"Good luck then. I'll go back to the classroom first."

　　Looking at Nino's figure, Ichika stood on the stairwell and fell into silence. After thinking for a moment, he slowly sighed.

　　Although I was very curious about where Kento and Eriri went after leaving the classroom, if Kento knew that I was eavesdropping, I'm afraid he would be somewhat dissatisfied, right?

　　"Well, forget it, let's have a fair fight."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, Ichika walked towards the classroom.

　　Leading Eriri out of the classroom, Kento originally wanted to take Eriri to the rooftop, but when he entered the rooftop, he found that there were quite a few people there. He turned around and looked at Eriri behind him, and asked for her opinion.

　　"Change place?"

　　"Um...."

　　The girl responded without refusing and followed Kento silently, like a young wife. She was so quiet that Kento felt a little uncomfortable.

　　He walked all the way from the rooftop to the school courtyard, stopped beside a bench where few people passed by, and looked at the blonde girl behind him.

　　"Here, is it okay?"

　　"Um."

　　"Well, take a seat."

　　He was the first to sit down at one end of the bench. Eriri, who was standing beside him, stared at the boy, held down the hem of her skirt with her hands, and slowly sat down at the other end of the bench. After sitting down, she glanced at Kento and spoke softly with hesitation.

　　"Is there something you want to talk to me about? Let me tell you first, I have a lot of things to deal with. If it's nothing important, I'll go back to the classroom."

　　Eriri had complicated feelings towards Kento. She didn't even know him before entering high school, but the dream-like 'memories' that suddenly impacted her memory made her completely confused. She had many complicated feelings towards this stranger boy.

　　I originally wanted to keep a distance from him, waiting for a long time, maybe after those "memories" were gradually forgotten, I would no longer care about the boy.

　　However, during this time at school, she couldn't help but care about the boy, and she couldn't even control herself, and would focus her attention on the boy from time to time.

　　When Kento walked up to her and told her that he wanted to talk to her about something, she felt an inexplicable excitement in her heart.

　　"I'm very sorry to interrupt your rest time, but there is something that I am a little concerned about, so I wanted to ask you about it, Sawamura-san."

　　"Just call me Eriri."

　　When hearing Kento call her 'Sawamura-san', Eriri couldn't help but frown.

　　"...."

　　His heart sank, Kento felt that something was indeed wrong. Originally, his relationship with Eriri had not been going so smoothly. She did not let him call her by her name the first time they were alone.

　　"Any questions?"

　　The blonde girl frowned and looked at Kento with a strange expression. If other boys were asked to call her by her name directly, they would probably be happy for a long time, right?

　　Why do you become so hesitant and reluctant when you get to the other person's place?

　　"That's not a big deal, but I have a question. Sawamura and I... Eriri, you met each other in high school, right? Why do we seem to have a familiar feeling?"

　　"..."

　　Thinking of her own 'memories', Eriri's expression suddenly turned grim.

　　That memory of complete tragedy and herself becoming a 'loser' was definitely not a good memory for Eriri herself. She bit her lips and glared angrily at Kento who was sitting next to her. The sudden change in her mood made Kento who was sitting next to her a little confused.

　　"No, it's nothing, it's just your illusion!"

　　Noticing the stunned expression on Kento's face, Eriri immediately controlled her emotions and spoke in a sullen tone.

　　"Don't think that I really like you as the others in the class say. I just feel grateful to you because you helped me... Don't get me wrong!"

　　This classic tsundere remark made Kento's eyes turn subtle when he looked at Eriri.

　　"What's that look in your eyes?"

　　Noticing the subtle and strange look in Kento's eyes, Yinglili blushed all of a sudden, bit her lips in embarrassment and anger, and vented her temper at Kento.

　　"No, so, Eriri, you don't know about that matter?"

　　"Huh? What's going on?"

　　That confused expression on her face. Based on Kento's understanding of Eriri, if she had made that expression, she would definitely not have such a natural reaction and would definitely have refuted it with a look of embarrassment and anger.

　　Eriri is not the criminal.

　　Kento was silent for a moment, then he slowly sighed and stood up.

　　"Nothing, I just guessed something wrong. Well, let's stop here today. I wasted so much of your time."

　　"It's nothing to me, but what happened to you?"

　　The blonde girl couldn't help but show concern when she saw the seemingly unhappy Kento.

　　This was not told to Eriri. Since it was basically confirmed that it had nothing to do with Eriri, Kento no longer wasted their time. The longer he stayed with Eriri, the easier it was for him to recall the past.

　　After thanking the other party for being willing to answer his questions, Kento left first.

　　Eriri, who stayed on the bench, looked at Kento's disappearing back, her eyes gradually became complicated, and her temperament gradually became different from before. She smiled and watched Kento's leaving back. She slowly lay down on the bench and put her face against the place where Kento had sat.

　　"Kento..."

　　He stood in front of the vending machine, inserted coins, and ordered a bottle of coffee. With a 'clang' sound, he slowly bent down and took the bottle of coffee out from the outlet. At this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of a pair of slender, white legs that appeared beside him without him noticing.

　　The exquisite little leather shoes and white socks seemed a little small, not like the size that a person of his age should have. Instead, they looked more like those of a cute elementary school student.

　　He looked up slightly and saw the familiar uniform skirt, goose yellow coat, and long silver hair. The petite and cute girl was also looking down at him, and her eyes met with Kento's.

　　As long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

　　It couldn't be considered as peeking, he was just curious about who was next to him. After his eyes met the girl's, he silently straightened his posture, nodded slightly at the girl, and when he was about to turn around and leave, the girl next to him raised her hand.

　　"Um?"

　　Thinking that the other party was about to call for help, Kento, who was about to turn around and leave, paused and watched the girl raise her arm and point at the vending machine in front of her.

　　Following the other person's finger, Kento saw the top layer of curry soda.

　　"this?"

　　After looking at the girl's height and the drink she was pointing at, Kento took a step forward, walked to the vending machine, pointed at the curry soda, and asked the girl to confirm.
