I.W.B.A.L

　　"This level is a very simple thing, right? As long as you listen carefully, you can do it easily. It's more surprising that you can't do it to this level."

　　As always, Umetaro Nozaki gave his answer calmly, without any pride or prejudice, he just calmly stated his understanding.

　　As for Kento who knew him well, he was not surprised that he would give such an answer. As for Nakano Ichika, she blinked and looked at the tall and strong Nozaki Umetaro in front of her, but still kept her gaze on Kento.

　　"Hey, Kento, if you have time, why don't you become my family's nanny and prepare three meals a day so that I can taste your cooking anytime, anywhere?"

　　"The housekeeper series?"

　　"Um?"

　　"nothing."

　　Looking at the confused look on Nakano Ichika's face, it seemed that she didn't follow his topic. Kento felt that it would not be strange even if Nakano Ichika didn't understand this aspect. On the contrary, if she understood it, Kento would be surprised.

　　"That sounds good. If the salary is right, I wouldn't mind coming to your house to apply for the job."

　　"Then I have to discuss it with my father first."

　　"Um."

　　They chatted about random things, and Kento didn't think Nakano Ichika was serious, so they kept chatting until the end of the get out of class. The three of them prepared the few dishes, washed the dishes, and left the home economics classroom together.

　　When he was returning to the classroom with Umetaro Nozaki, he passed by the door of the laboratory again and looked inside, but he did not see Rio Futaba inside. This made Kento a little concerned, but he did not think about it further and returned to the classroom with Umetaro Nozaki.

　　"Kento, do you have any plans or arrangements for tomorrow?"

　　"tomorrow?"

　　When he returned to the classroom and just sat down, Yoshii Akihisa came up to his desk and asked him about tomorrow.

　　"Saturday, it's Saturday. You don't have anything to do tomorrow afternoon, right?"

　　"You should be resting at home, what's wrong?"

　　"Nothing much, I just heard about the maid cafe where Hideyoshi works part-time..."

　　Yoshii Akihisa observed the surroundings for a while, then slowly approached Kento's side and whispered something in his ear. It was like the temptation of a devil, which made Kento's heart tremble. His eyes gradually fell on Hideyoshi, who had already sat down in his seat and looked like a boy.

　　He himself had no interest in maid cafes or anything like that, he was just a little surprised and shocked when he heard that his classmates were working in such a place, hmm.

　　"You saw it with your own eyes?"

　　Yoshii Akihisa smiled slightly, moved a little closer to Kento, slowly reached into his pocket, and handed a photo to Kento.

　　With Yoshii Akihisa's body blocking the view, Kento took the photo, which showed Hideyoshi Kinoshita wearing a pink maid outfit.

　　Kento accepted the photo silently and closed his eyes.

　　"available."

　　"Give me back the photos."

　　Because Hideyoshi was sitting in the classroom, Kento couldn't pretend he didn't hear it, so he silently returned the photo to Yoshii Akihisa. Seeing him put it in his pocket close to his chest like a treasure, Kento silently "tsk".

　　He wouldn't be envious.

　　"Where did you get the photo? You're not going to tell me that you secretly followed Hideyoshi and took a photo of him, right?"

　　"Of course not! I'm not that kind of person!"

　　Yoshii Akihisa refuted Kento with righteous words, but at the same time he was in a long dilemma, as if he was hesitating whether to tell Kento about this matter. His eyes fell on Kento's face, he hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell him.

　　"photo...."

　　"What pictures, what are you talking about?"

　　Suddenly someone appeared and a voice sounded behind Yoshii Akihisa. Hinami Aoi's face showed a curious expression. Yoshii Akihisa was frightened and his body suddenly straightened. He silently looked back at the smiling Hinami Aoi and shook his head.

　　"No, nothing. What photos? We didn't talk about Hideyoshi at all. I don't have any photos of his maids either."

　　"..."

　　"..."

　　Neither Hinami Aoi nor Kento knew how to evaluate Yoshii Akihisa for a moment. Should they say that he was outspoken or that he was simply slow-witted? Hinami Aoi didn't even ask him in detail, as he had already confessed.

　　Just the content of the topic made Hinami Aoi look at Yoshii Akihisa a little more, and then her gaze fell on Kento, with a look of surprise, which probably meant 'I didn't expect you would be interested in these things'.

　　Kento couldn't explain or answer anything about this matter. He just pretended not to know and ignored Hinami Aoi's expression, sitting quietly in his seat.

　　Perhaps thinking that he might have slipped away, Yoshii Akihisa glanced at Hinami Aoi, then pursed his lips, covered his heart with both hands, and ran directly to Sakamoto Yuji...

　　Kento was the only one left, and Hinami Aoi didn't know how to talk to him better. She smiled awkwardly and left in a hurry.

　　For the time being, Kento was relatively familiar with Hinami Aoi's personality and knew that she would not talk nonsense in class. He was not worried about any strange rumors spreading in the class. He glanced at Yoshii Akihisa who was sticking together with Sakamoto Yuji, and then quietly lowered his head to read a book.

　　When the get out of class was over, Kento left the classroom alone as usual. Today, there was no Nakano Ichika or Eriri. He walked out of the school alone and walked on the way home.

　　He arrived at the nearby commercial street, strolled around casually, bought some ingredients and seasonings, and replenished the toilet paper that had been almost used up at home. Then Kento returned to his apartment, opened the door, and entered the house.

　　He put down his schoolbag, poured himself a cup of tea, sat down at the desk, and began to look at the blank sheets of manuscript paper, falling into a stage of thinking.

　　"What should I write next…?"

　　I have already written almost half of the process, and for the remaining content, even if I can't think of anything, I have to work harder to fill it in.

　　He has already completed the process of writing about his cousin and aunt, and the next one is the neighbor next door. He originally planned to write about a beautiful woman who still has charm, but now he feels that it is too simple and thinks it would be more interesting to write about something heavier.

　　"Although she still looks charming and a bit like a young girl, when we actually touch her, the loose skin under her clothes... well, there is still something..."

　　As he was thinking, a specific image gradually emerged in his mind, and Kento's expression suddenly became a little disgusted, but he still started writing.

　　The protagonist, who was attracted by the appearance, was suddenly disillusioned when he actually came into contact with the other person. He felt pain, but had to endure the discomfort and insisted on taking the last step under his completely infatuated behavior.

　　After persisting in writing three thousand words, Kento put down his pen and picked up the tea beside him. As soon as he picked it up and looked at the color of the tea, he put it aside sullenly, grinned, and stood up in some pain.

　　Even the air I breathed in was filled with the smell of rotten seafood.

　　"....What on earth am I writing about?"

　　Before he had the chance to show it to others, he himself was already disgusted.

　　The helpless Kento crunched what he had just written into a ball of waste paper and threw it into the trash can. Only then did he feel a little more refreshed physically and mentally.

　　Sitting quietly in his room, he sat in silence for a while, then looked up at the clock in front of him.

　　Looking back, there was already dusk outside the house, illuminating his empty room. Kento stood up slowly and turned on the light in his room.

　　"Is it this time already in the evening?"

　　I don't know whether Setsuna has returned home. Kento stood quietly in the house, slowly walked to the balcony, and looked at Qingpu's house opposite. The lights were on, and someone had returned home, but I don't know if it was Setsuna.

　　Do you want to go over?

　　Kento stood in front of the balcony window, looking across, feeling a little hesitant.

　　Even if he met Setsuna, how would he communicate with her?

　　Just when he was hesitant, the doorbell rang suddenly.

　　— — — —

　　There are still ten days until the end of this year. Please be informed.

　　Thanks to o(?^｀)o, Sanqian Fuchenke, Sentence Death Sentence Starting Three Shots, Mu Chen, and Yi for their monthly tickets! Thanks to everyone for their recommendation tickets!

Cherry Blossom Season: 105. Would you like such a person?

　　The sudden ringing of the bell surprised Kento standing in the house. He looked towards the door and gradually came to the door. After opening the door, he saw Saionji Sekai standing in front of the door.

　　"Saionji? Are you here to look for Setsuna? If Setsuna isn't here right now..."

　　"No, no, I'm not looking for Setsuna. Setsuna is at home now. I know that."

　　Interrupting Kento's words, Saionji Sekai looked at the boy in front of her, bit her lips, lowered her head sullenly, but clenched her fists, walked past Kento in front of her, and went straight into the house, leaving Kento a little confused for a moment.

　　Kento closed the door casually and entered the house. Looking at Saionji Sekai who appeared in front of him, he didn't know what she wanted to talk to him about.

　　"If you're not looking for Setsuna, then what do you want from me?"

　　Kento opened one side of the kitchen counter, took out a teacup, poured a cup of tea, and brought the cup to the table next to Saionji Sekai.

　　He stepped into the world of Saionji in the room, looking at the Kiyoura family which he could clearly see across the balcony, his eyes flashing with hesitation, but he made up his mind firmly in his heart, gently pulled up the curtains on both sides, and then looked at Kento standing in the room.

　　Reaching out and unbuttoning the front of her clothes, the girl's eyes were determined and her hands' movements suddenly became decisive and swift. Kento, who was standing in the room, had just put down the teacup when he saw Saionji Sekai pulling the curtains.

　　After a blink of an eye, I saw the girl reaching out and slowly unbuttoning her clothes.

　　This scene was hard for Kento to accept for a moment. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him, unbuttoning her clothes, taking off the aqua blue dress from her body, and letting it slip to the ground, leaving his mind blank.

　　'What is she going to do? What does she mean by this? Is it too hot? No, it's not summer yet, it's not that hot yet...'

　　It's not that he didn't know her purpose, but he subconsciously couldn't accept such a development. He had just entered his apartment and hadn't even said a few words when she suddenly started taking off her clothes. Kento was unable to react. After a brief surprise, he calmed down.

　　"As for the bathroom, where is it?"

　　Looking at Kento pointing in the direction of the bathroom, Saionji Sekai's face couldn't help but blush, but she still bit her lip, took a deep breath, and calmed herself down.

　　"At this time, making such a joke again is a bit unromantic, isn't it?"

　　"That's why I can't be too straightforward at this time. I've been very tactful."

　　"It has come to this point. How can I just give up and retreat so easily? I am already prepared to break up with Setsuna."

　　"Then I am really a very evil man."

　　With a sigh, Kento's gaze lingered on the snow-white skin of Saionji Sekai for a moment. He felt it was inappropriate to continue looking at her, so he retracted his gaze, sat down at the table, picked up the teacup on the table, and started drinking tea by himself.

　　Such a calm reaction made Saionji Sekai, who had already made a lot of preparations in her heart, a little unsure of how to deal with it for a moment. After thinking a lot, she did not expect Kento to be so calm.

　　From the window, he walked slowly to the side of Kento. Saionji Sekai gradually squatted down, supported his hands on the ground, and crawled to the side of Kento little by little, looking at Kento in front of him.

　　"Hey, Kento, what happened between you and Setsuna?"

　　Glancing at Saionji Sekai who had come to his side and looked like she was worried about him, Kento raised his head, looked at the ceiling above his head, and then set his gaze on Saionji Sekai who was standing beside him.

　　In the dim room, looking at the Saionji World right in front of him, the other's snow-white skin seemed looming in the sunlight shining through the gaps in the curtains, full of an unreal feeling, just like the white fox that tempted him in his dream last night, so Kento slowly shifted his gaze away.

　　He picked up the teacup in front of him and just as he raised his hand, the girl reached out and held his arm, and leaned close to his arms.

　　"If you're thirsty, I can quench your thirst."

　　With her face already flushed, Saionji Sekai slowly moved her face closer to Kento, staring straight at the lips in front of her. She felt nervous and expectant, yet also inexplicably excited and happy. Gradually, the distance between them became closer and closer——

　　A finger gently touched her forehead, stopping her from moving forward.

　　"Setsuna is at home, and I don't know when he will come over, so you should put on your clothes and go home early."

　　"Are you still saying this at this time? So, if Setsuna doesn't come, it won't matter?"

　　"...."

　　Seeing the dangerous look in Saionji Sekai's eyes, Kento suddenly became alert. He stared at the girl in front of him for a while. The romantic feelings that had been rising in his heart were suddenly poured with cold water.

　　"What's wrong?"

　　Noticing that the expression of Kento in front of her seemed a little strange, Saionji Sekai couldn't help but cast her gaze on his face and look directly into his eyes.

　　"Even if Setsuna didn't come, nothing would happen between you and me. I'm dating Setsuna now, and you know this yourself. Do you think you would like someone who would secretly have an affair with someone else behind his girlfriend's back?"

　　The things that happened between himself and Kiyoura Mai emerged in his mind, and he felt very embarrassed in his heart, wondering what qualifications he had to say this. However, he noticed that Saionji Sekai seemed to have become a little possessed, and he felt some danger. In order to prevent Saionji Sekai from doing anything irrational, he still wanted to persuade the girl in front of him.

　　After hearing what Kento said, an expression of struggle appeared on Saionji Sekai's face. She seemed to be moved by Kento's words. A hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. She slowly distanced herself from Kento again and sat beside him.

　　"That's true... But even though I know this is wrong, I still couldn't help but come here and do this. Even though you think I'm mean or obscene, I can't let it go when I'm sitting alone in my room. I don't understand why you chose Setsuna instead of me."

　　With a gloomy expression, Sekai Saionji expressed her feelings in a faint voice, full of confusion and pain. She looked at Kento sitting next to her with her sad eyes.

　　"Hey, Kento, can you tell me why you chose Setsuna? I'm obviously no worse than her in any way!"

　　Looking at the painful expression of Saionji Sekai and the tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, Kento didn't understand what on earth attracted the girls to him. Looking at the girl in front of him, he slowly stood up, walked to the window, and picked up the light blue dress that the girl had taken off.

　　He walked to the side of Saionji Sekai and put the clothes in her hands.

　　"Put it on first."

　　"...."

　　Saionji Sekai grabbed her clothes with her snow-white and tender hands, bit her lip, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. After a moment of silence, she put on her clothes silently.

　　There was a rustling sound, and watching the girl put on her clothes, Kento felt a little complicated and subtle. He could not deny that Saionji Sekai was a very charming girl. Both her personality and figure were the type that attracted boys on weekdays.

　　only.....

　　"If the person you like has someone else who likes you, what do you think you would do?"
