I.W.B.A.L

　　Unexpectedly, Setsuna found out about the matter. It was a bit like when his relationship with Sayuri was discovered by Eriri, but Setsuna's reaction was not as extreme as Eriri's.

　　After cleaning up the dishes, Kento returned to the living room, but Setsuna suddenly asked Qingura Mai to go back for a while, as she had something to discuss with Kento.

　　"Is it something that my mother needs to avoid as well?"

　　"Um."

　　Looking at her mother, Shanma responded calmly, which made Qingpu Wu feel helpless. Feeling excluded, she sighed softly and stood up.

　　"Then, Mom will go home first. Setsuna should also remember to go home early."

　　"Um."

　　Qingura Mai, who also noticed something, stood up silently and left the room quietly. Only Kento and Setsuna were left in the apartment, sitting together quietly.

　　"Anything you want to say?"

　　"Are you angry?"

　　Kento looked at Shanna, and he didn't feel any fear. It was true that he felt a little guilty and uneasy, but not to the extent that he felt fearful.

　　His eyes were fixed on the cute, delicate, expressionless girl beside him who looked like a doll. Kento seldom saw any changes in the expression on Setsuna's face. Even at this moment, Setsuna was still asking Kento calmly.

　　"Somewhat."

　　"A little?"

　　Kento, who thought that Setsuna would be very angry, looked at her and felt a little confused. He thought that Setsuna might be saying one thing and thinking another. However, looking at her expression and reaction, she did not seem to be very angry.

　　"Because Kento lied to me, I am a little angry."

　　She described her feelings calmly. Setsuna looked at Kento beside her. She was indeed a little angry. That was because Kento and her mother had secretly concealed things from her, and... Thinking about it this way, she should be very angry, but when she thought about their identities.

　　One is the mother who raised her since she was a child, and the other is the person she likes. Under such circumstances, she can't hate or dislike these two people, and she feels more helpless in her heart.

　　"It was mom who took the initiative, right?"

　　"...."

　　"really."

　　Setsuna nodded, not feeling too surprised.

　　"Although the world is very resolute, others will waver as long as the other party is a little bit stronger. Why?"

　　"Is there such a thing?"

　　Slightly surprised and stunned, Kento looked at the girl in front of him, but he didn't notice any of this.

　　"...."

　　Looking at Kento who didn't notice this, he was silent for a moment and sighed slowly.

　　"I have never really known Kento, because Kento, you have never really looked at me."

　　The girl stood up and left the room.

　　When the door was closed, Kento who was sitting alone in the room just looked at the door quietly. After a while, he slowly stood up and fell directly on the bed.

　　"Never really looked at you?"

　　He couldn't deny it.

　　Qingpu Mai returned home and went into the bathroom alone. When she came out, she saw Setsuna returning home. On Setsuna's face, Qingpu Mai saw a lonely expression that she would never have on normal days.

　　"moment...."

　　"I'm a little tired. I'm going back to my room to rest."

　　After taking a look at Qingpu Mai, Setsuna silently walked back to his room and closed the door. However, before closing the door, Setsuna's gaze lingered on Qingpu Mai for a moment, glancing up and down at Qingpu Mai's figure before closing the door sullenly.

　　Lying on the bed, suffocating his head, trying to suffocate himself, but knowing that it was futile, Kento suffocated for a while, slowly raised his head, looked at the light, blinked his dry eyes, slowly sat up, and prepared to turn off the light...

　　"Oh, I have to take a shower. I have to take a shower first..."

　　Buzz——buzz——

　　Kento was about to walk towards the bathroom when he suddenly heard his cell phone vibrating. He turned around to look at the desk, walked to the desk, looked at the caller, and answered the call with some surprise.

　　"Father."

　　"Kento, it's been a while since I came to Tokyo. How do you feel?"

　　A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone. It was Kento's father, Miyamizu Toshiki, a former folklorist and current mayor of Hida City.

　　Originally, Mizoguchi was a well-known and large family, but because he fell in love with his mother, Miyamizu Futaba, he gave up his original surname, research position, and the marriage partner arranged by his parents, and married into the Miyamizu family regardless of everything. He was elected and became the mayor.

　　Perhaps because of him, the Mizoguchi family, who had been cold towards Miyamizu Toshiki after they knew that he gave birth to a son, slightly eased their relationship with Miyamizu Toshiki after Kento was born, and occasionally came to Itomori to meet Kento.

　　"It's a completely different place from Itomori, but I've almost gotten used to it."

　　"Well, there are many temptations in big cities. You have to pay attention to your purpose. If you go to school in Tokyo and get into a good university, you will have everything you want in the future. There is no need to worry about the gains and losses at the moment. The same goes for feelings. The love you have now is just a temporary hormone."

　　"...."

　　The seemingly heartfelt advice gave Kento a strong sense of déjà vu.

　　I remembered the last chat with that girl Sanye, and it seemed that she hadn't contacted me since then... I immediately guessed why my father suddenly contacted me.

　　"Did Mitsuha say anything?"

　　"Hmm? No, I just heard from your mother that you seem to have a girlfriend in Tokyo...?"

　　The first figure that came to his mind was Sayuri, the Sayuri with whom he was in love, but the next figure that appeared was the present moment. He was silent for a moment, his mood a little complicated. Thinking of his father who once opposed him, he sighed slowly.

　　"Yes, a girl who is one year younger than me but also a high school student."

　　"No matter what kind of girl she is, now is not the time to fall in love. Don't let a girl make you lose yourself."

　　Sitting in his office, Miyamizu Toshiki opened his mouth slowly and gave instructions to his eldest son.

　　Some time ago, he learned from his wife that Kento already had a girlfriend. At first, he felt angry, but then he hesitated. He was also aware of his past, and his son was very clear about the relationship between him and his mother, so he was worried about problems with his education.

　　After a long period of consideration, he decided to give his son some advice.

　　"I know."

　　Kento who answered Miyamizu Toshiki in this way recalled his two lives. It seemed that each time he had just arrived in Tokyo not long ago, he was lost in the gentleness of women...his purpose...

　　After hearing what Miyamizu Toshiki said, he became more rational and sober.

　　"If it's to ensure your own grades, I can give you some slack. After all, you're not like Sanye, who has been very stable since childhood, so you should know what to do."

　　"I see."

　　"Take good care of yourself."

　　"Um."

　　There was a long silence, and Miyamizu Toshiki didn't know what to talk about with his son. Normally, when they were at home, they didn't have much to talk about. Now that they were so far apart, and he didn't know the specific situation of Kento, he didn't know where to start.

　　"Is the living expenses enough?"

　　Kento, who was about to hang up the phone because of the silence, perked up a little after hearing the word "living expenses".

　　But after thinking about it, he pursed his lips and shook his head.

　　"That's enough. That's enough."

　　"Well, let's leave it at that for now. You still have to go to school tomorrow, right? Go to bed early."

　　"The same to you."

　　"Um."

　　After hanging up the phone, Kento returned to the first contact with his father in his youth. Listening to the familiar voice, he took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He put the hung up phone back on the desk and sat quietly in the room. He was silent for a long time before he slowly stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

　　He fell asleep early. Maybe it was because of the fox fairy game, but Kento dreamed of a pure white fox. Then he reached out and gently stroked the fox. He saw a comfortable and human expression on the fox's soft face, and it even took the initiative to get into his arms.

　　"How cute."

　　Looking at the arms in his own, Kento in the dream sighed like this.

　　Then, the fox in his arms gradually grew hands and feet, looked at Kento, stretched out its soft and furry little hands, and pushed Kento to the ground...

　　When Kento woke up in the morning, he looked at the rising sun and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

　　"Is it morning already? I seemed to have had some strange dream last night?"

　　He placed his hand on his chin with a thoughtful expression, but because he had already woken up, he could not remember last night's dream clearly. Kento sat up and walked quietly to the bathroom.

　　But after entering the bathroom, Kento unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to have had a dream last night about that pure white...fox?

　　Suddenly remembering his dream last night, Kento was silent for a moment, looked down for a while, quietly changed his underwear, put on his spare underwear, soaked the original underwear in hot water, and poured some disinfectant into it. Then he walked out of the bathroom and prepared breakfast.

　　It is not strange for young people with young bodies to experience these things. It can only be said that they are full of energy.

　　After sitting in the house and finishing his breakfast, Kento picked up his schoolbag and left the apartment.

　　While walking on the road, he glanced at the Kiyoura family and saw Saionji Sekai standing in that familiar place as usual. Kento glanced at her, and after his eyes met Saionji Sekai's, he nodded slightly, smiled, and turned to walk towards the school.

　　Looking at the back of Kento, Xiyuanji Sekai silently clenched his hands tightly holding his schoolbag....

Cherry Blossom Season: 104. Hideyoshi's Maid Costume

　　"Are you here alone?"

　　In the afternoon, during the Home Economics class, when Kento was preparing to go to the Home Economics classroom with others, he passed by the science laboratory and saw Futaba Rio, who was wearing a white coat and standing alone in the classroom.

　　Kento stopped walking, stood at the door, looked up at the doorplate of the laboratory at the door, and asked casually to Futaba Rio who was standing inside.

　　The girl, who was alone, looked towards the door in surprise after hearing Kento's voice, and saw the young man who suddenly appeared in front of her.

　　"Hmm... Why are you here, Miyamizu-kun?"

　　Futaba Rio was a little surprised, because it was because of her excellent grades and outstanding talent in science that the school gave her certain privileges and allowed her to spend more time in the laboratory. However, from what she understood, Kento should no longer be among the privileged class of the school.

　　Futaba Rio was surprised to see him suddenly appear in front of her. She thought that the boy might have skipped class, but she felt that the possibility was not very high.

　　"Next is Home Economics. I was supposed to go to the Home Economics classroom with my classmates, but something happened and I was a little late. I came alone. Class should not have started yet... It doesn't matter. But Futaba, you are alone in the lab?"

　　"Um."

　　"I see."

　　Kento glanced at Futaba Rio standing in the laboratory, and had no intention of entering and talking to the girl. He glanced at the girl standing in the laboratory and then withdrew his gaze.

　　"Home Economics class is about to start. I'm going to go to class first. We can talk later."

　　"Um."

　　Rio Futaba quietly watched the boy leave her sight and walk away step by step. When the figure disappeared from her sight, she slowly lowered her head and looked at the experimental equipment in front of her. She picked up a flask and shook the liquid inside casually, but her expression was a little absent-minded.

　　Putting down the flask in her hand, she pursed her lips and sighed slowly…

　　"What did you do just now?"

　　"Um?"

　　After entering the home economics classroom, Kento's grouping was a little subtle. The people standing with him were Nakano Ichika and Nozaki Umetaro. Sawamura Eriri and Hinami Aoi were in the same group. As soon as he entered the classroom and came to his group, Kento was met with questions from Nakano Ichika.

　　It was a casual question and Kento didn't take it too seriously. He just answered casually that he met an acquaintance. Then he stood in front of the kitchen counter, tied an apron, and when the bell rang, he looked at the teacher who walked into the classroom and started the home economics class.

　　Kento didn't have any special thoughts about learning home economics. He didn't hate it, but he didn't particularly like it either. He just thought it was a good thing to learn some dishes that he didn't know how to cook.

　　However, for some reason, the dishes he has learned since he started school are basically the dishes he already knows how to cook.

　　"Is this what I learned in cooking class? I don't remember exactly, but I probably learned these dishes in school, so I know how to cook them."

　　The time was too long, and Kento himself was not sure whether he had learned these dishes before. It was just that the contents of these two classes were basically what he had already mastered, so he was a little listless during the class.

　　Nakano Ichika seemed to be listening very seriously, but her eyes would fall on him from time to time, as if she was looking at some scenery that he could not see. The hope in her eyes made Kento feel a little uncomfortable.

　　Umetaro Nozaki, who was in the same group, had little presence. He just stood quietly aside, observing Nakano Ichika and Kento from time to time, and even occasionally looking at Eriri from another group. His serious expression showed that he was thinking about how to add these to his own comics...

　　"Ken is quite good at cooking, and he looks great. He is a perfect househusband."

　　When the class was over and the students were asked to start cooking on their own, Kento, with the cooperation of Umetaro Nozaki, prepared the dishes quite skillfully, causing Ichika Nakano, who had not done much cooking, to look at the two of them in surprise.

　　"I didn't realize that Nozaki-san is so good at cooking."
