I.W.B.A.L

　　"Well, it's been dealt with."

　　Looking at the girl squatting at the door of his apartment, Kento gradually squatted down, opened his arms, hugged Setsuna, then took out the key with one hand, opened the door of the apartment, and entered the apartment holding Setsuna.

　　At the girl's soft exclamation, Kento closed the door with his backhand.

Cherry Blossom Season: 77. Love that turns into pain?

　　Kento had solved his own problems at school and no longer had to worry about any crisis that might lead to his social death. He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders and he suddenly felt relaxed.

　　The moment he saw the man waiting for him at the door, Kento, who had felt relieved, couldn't help but become wild for a moment.

　　Holding Setsuna, he entered his apartment, kicked the door shut, came to the edge of the bed, and pulled up the curtains on the window.

　　When the setting sun completely sank into the horizon and the whole room became dark, Xiantian slowly stopped, hugged the person in his arms tightly with both hands, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

　　"Mmmmm..."

　　When she got a moment to catch her breath, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the virtuous man beside her. She stretched out her hand and placed it on his cheek, touching his smooth skin. She rested her face on his chest and lay on top of him.

　　"Have the school issues been resolved?"

　　"Well, I asked two friends for help, and we caught the criminal. We had a good chat with her, and she promised that she would never do such a thing again."

　　"she?"

　　The pronunciation of 'he' and 'she' is different. I was originally suspicious of the identity of the criminal, but after hearing the words of Kento, I became even more concerned. I gradually raised my head and looked at Kento who was squinting his eyes, lying his head on the pillow, with a lazy look on his face.

　　"Well, a girl developed a crush on me at the beginning of the school year because of some things. She wanted me to like her, so she performed this 'love magic' according to the content of the post she saw."

　　"...."

　　Setsuna didn't say anything, but the body lying on him slowly moved, silently wrapping her arms around Kento's neck, their bodies pressed tightly together, she lowered her head and looked at Kento.

　　"After asking, it seems that it wasn't her who was responsible for the incident at the apartment. In other words, apart from what happened at school, someone else stole my underwear. There were two people."

　　His eyes flickered, and Setsuna wanted to ask more about the girl, but since Kento didn't seem to want to talk about the other party, Setsuna lowered his head silently, lay on Kento's body, feeling the warmth from Kento's body, and slowly spoke.

　　"No clues?"

　　"No, I just have to be careful these days and put the clothes in my room to dry. Besides, it's almost time now. Miss Wu has returned home, right?"

　　"Um..."

　　With his arms around Setsuna's body and stroking her fair and smooth back, Kento gradually sat up and put Setsuna beside the bed. He then gradually sat up, walked to the window, lifted a curtain with his fingertips, and looked at the apartment opposite.

　　At a glance, I saw the lights on in Qingpu's house. Qingpu Mai had already returned home.

　　"I'm going to prepare dinner. I wonder if Miss Wu has prepared dinner. If she has, let her come here to eat first."

　　"...I'm going to take a shower."

　　"Um."

　　After turning on the light in the room, Kento casually picked up the clothes on the ground and began to prepare dinner. As for Shanna, he went into the bathroom naked and closed the door.

　　The trouble with small apartments is that if the door is not closed properly, the water mist in the bathroom will float into the room, causing the entire room to become humid. If anti-mildew measures are not taken at that time, the entire room will easily become moldy.

　　Watching Setsuna enter the bathroom, Kento washed his hands, walked to the refrigerator, carefully sorted out the ingredients in the refrigerator, took out some, and began to prepare dinner.

　　"Come to think of it, did you plan to buy some underwear today?"

　　However, because he was in a hurry, he asked Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji to help him catch the criminal, and forgot about buying underwear.

　　"Forget it, it doesn't matter if we go tomorrow."

　　Shaking his head gently, Kento put the matter behind his mind for the time being and began to prepare dinner first.

　　When Kento had almost finished preparing dinner, Setsuna came out of the bathroom, put on his clothes, and went to call his mother as Kento instructed.

　　Originally, Qingura Mai had already prepared dinner at home. Looking at the dark apartment of Kento and her daughter not being at home, she basically guessed what had happened and did not want to disturb the two of them.

　　When she was halfway through preparing dinner, she heard the sound of the door opening. Shanna came into the house and told her that Kento had already prepared dinner.

　　"...."

　　Looking at the potato stew that was almost cooked in her pot, she was silent for a moment and decided to finish cooking the meat first.

　　"You go to Kento first. My food is almost ready. I'll bring it over to you later."

　　"Do you need help?"

　　"I don't have any problem here, but you, you need to have a good rest, right?"

　　Faced with her mother's teasing, Setsuna did not blush or feel shy. She had already told her mother that she and Kento were ready that day. When facing Qingura Mai, she no longer felt shy.

　　Knowing that Qingpu Dance was bringing stewed potatoes and meat to Kento's place, Setsuna immediately returned to Kento's apartment and told him about the matter.

　　Looking at the dinner he prepared, Kento felt that there was no problem. He had already considered the possibility that Qingura Mai had also prepared dinner, so he did not prepare too many dishes. Including the stewed potatoes and meat, it was just the right amount for three people.

　　The two of them were preparing for dinner and waited in the house for about ten minutes. Then Qingpu Mai came to Kento's house with a pot. Setsuna opened the door for Qingpu Mai and poured the stewed potatoes and meat into a small bowl. Then the three of them started to have dinner.

　　"Have the school issues been resolved?"

　　After dinner, during the break, Kento and Kiyoura Mai talked about school.

　　"Then, your home..."

　　"It wasn't her. Someone else did it. We don't have any clues yet. It's a pity. I'm afraid the clothes will have to be left in the room to dry in the shade from now on."

　　Kento was not very distressed. There was basically no big difference between placing it in the room and outside the house. As long as he could do it, it would not affect his life.

　　"Then we can't catch him? Since he is the one who did this, he must know that you, Kento, live here. Only then can he do such a thing. Not many people in the school know about it, right?"

　　Qingpu Mai's judgment made Kento nodded.

　　"Not many people know about it, and not many people have the time to do such a thing. That day, I stayed in school for a little longer, so I came back a little later. The other party might have done it at that time."

　　Both of them are still students, plus there is a working woman who comes home later than the other two on weekdays. The three of them basically have no time to wait at home to see who is committing the crime of stealing underwear.

　　"Compared to what happened at school, the loss of underwear in the apartment is not that serious. To be honest, even if we call the police, it will be difficult to catch the culprit."

　　Qingpu Mai is also very clear about such situations. How difficult it is to catch this kind of criminal. It depends more on the owner of the lost money being well prepared. There is a chance to arrest the criminal only when he commits the crime again.

　　The incident only happened once, and it is difficult to confirm whether the other party is committing crimes continuously, but it is a random crime.

　　But no matter who it is, I think Kento will not take the initiative to dry his underwear outside on the balcony to deliberately seduce the other party to commit a crime.

　　"Well, judging from the current situation, if it is exposed indoors, the other party will not have a chance to attack. Let's leave it like this for now. As long as it is not exposed outdoors, I'm afraid this won't happen again."

　　The matter at school was resolved, and the only thing left was the theft of her underwear. In the eyes of Kento and Kiyoura Mai, it was not a serious matter. As long as they were careful, there was basically no need to call the police, so they gave up the idea of calling the police.

　　After sitting in the house and chatting with Kiyoura Mai and Setsuna for a while, the mother and daughter left Kento's apartment and returned to their own apartment.

　　The remaining Kento was alone, quietly tidying up his room.

　　For the next period of time, Kento's life in school was very peaceful. In the morning, when he entered the classroom, sat down, and looked at his desk, it was clean. He no longer had to worry about finding any special "gifts" that would lead to his social death.

　　After reflecting on myself after the last class, I gradually focused on my studies. I sat in the classroom, listened to every class carefully, and seemed to gradually adapt to my identity as a student.

　　A person's mentality is often related to the environment he is in. In an environment full of young students, it is impossible for Kento to say unrealistic words that are inconsistent with his current life.

　　The whole day on Friday was spent in quiet classes. On Saturday afternoon, after school, Kento, as a thank you gift for last time, wandered around the school with Yoshii Akihisa, and Sakamoto Yuji, and chose a ramen restaurant to sit down.

　　"Tonkotsu ramen, double portion of char siu."

　　Kento put down his bag and ordered his own ramen from the boss who was making ramen behind the counter. After he finished speaking, he looked at the two people beside him.

　　"Whatever you want."

　　Akihisa Yoshii and Yuji Sakamoto entered the store together, looked at the menu, and felt relieved after confirming that the price of ramen was not expensive.

　　"A serving of seafood ramen!"

　　"Spicy beef ramen."

　　The two of them ordered one each, put down their schoolbags, looked at Kento beside them, and started chatting about things at school.

　　"It's already April, and there are still two months until summer vacation."

　　As soon as Yoshii Akihisa opened his mouth, he revealed that he was always on vacation. School had just started, but he was already planning for the summer vacation.

　　"Did Yoshida come to you later?"

　　Sakamoto Yuji looked at Kento sitting next to him.

　　"Yoshida, Saki?"

　　His eyes fell on Sakamoto Yuji, and Kento was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to ask about Yoshida Saki.

　　"After that day, we didn't see each other very often. We only ran into each other once on Friday when we were at school, at the shoe closet."

　　"That's great. Handsome guys are easy to be liked by girls. There are already so many people who like you. The eldest sister of the Nakano sisters, Nakano Ichika, is one, the blonde beauty, Sawamura Eriri is one, and there's also Yoshida Saki. It's certain that there are already three people who like you."

　　Yoshii Akihisa counted on his fingers the number of girls who liked Kento.

　　To this, Kento just smiled.

　　Once the topic turns to girls, it always inadvertently deviates to strange places. With Kento not responding proactively, the topic of Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji gradually began to deviate to what kind of girls are cute.

　　"Sure enough, older girls are cuter."

　　Yoshii Akihisa was not shy at all. He pinched his chin with one hand and stated his hobby seriously.

　　In response, Yuji Sakamoto also nodded.

　　"Well, there's no way to refute this. Even if he's an idiot, at least his aesthetic taste is normal."

　　"No, if it's bigger, it's okay, but if it's too big, it would be disgusting, right? I still prefer the smaller ones, like the ones that can fit in the palm of your hand, isn't that better?"

　　Kento spoke slowly and gave his answer.

　　Yoshii Akihisa was silent, while Sakamoto Yuji seemed to be thinking about something.

　　"Kento, you don't understand the benefits of bigness at all."

　　In the silence, Yoshii Akihisa slowly opened his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth he started to criticize and condemn Kento with an expression of 'you don't understand at all' and 'I understand best', and with a sigh he began to teach Kento a lesson.

　　"Only children like small things! Adults like big things! Kento!"

　　The ramen chef who was cooking noodles slowly glanced at Yoshii Akihisa who suddenly became passionate. Sakamoto Yuji silently lowered his head and pretended not to know him.

　　As for Kento, he began to regret it. When he looked at Sakamoto Yuji, he silently lowered his head and let Yoshii Akihisa continue to use his talent for public speaking alone. When the ramen was served, he even used ramen to make a metaphor, until the owner of the ramen shop spoke up to stop him.

　　"Guest, it's almost done. The guests in the restaurant are still dining."

　　"Hmm…"

　　Yoshii Akihisa was speechless, he lowered his head silently and started eating ramen.

　　Until they finished their ramen and paid the bill, both of them silently took out their wallets and said that Kento should treat them, but they were still prepared to pay themselves, but Kento persuaded them not to.

　　"It's already agreed that it's a treat, so I'll just pay the bill today, and you guys will treat next time."

　　Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji thought about it and decided not to insist. They let Kento settle the bill, and then the three of them left together.

　　From the ramen restaurant, led by Yuji Sakamoto, the three of them went to the nearest game hall.

　　The game hall was noisy and noisy. Kento didn't really like such places, but he was here anyway.

　　Seeing Yoshii Akihisa and Sakamoto Yuji suddenly gathered around the arcade machine and started fighting, Kento was not interested in these things. After wandering around, he came to the claw machine, stopped and looked at the big doll inside.

　　"Will Setsuna like this kind of doll? Forget it, there are no other games suitable for me, so I'll just try this one."

　　Insert the coin, operate the directional joystick, and then gently tap the grab button.

　　Donglong——

　　A rolling sound was heard, and Kento squatted down and picked up the doll he had grabbed from the exit. It was a black bear doll with a red face, the mascot of the Kumamoto area.

　　"Seems pretty simple?"

　　Looking at the doll machine again, Kento silently grabbed it again.

　　As the coins in his pocket became fewer and fewer, he grabbed more and more dolls, so much so that he had to borrow a bag from the clerk, which contained about seven or eight small dolls and two large dolls.
