I.W.B.A.L

　　"...."

　　Yoshii Akihisa felt as if he had been deceived, and for a moment, the expression on his face changed beyond all recognition.

　　"Akihisa, Yuuji, I'm leaving first."

　　It was at this time that Hideyoshi's voice rang out, and he said goodbye to the two and left the classroom. Yoshii Akihisa, who was just burning with jealousy and anger, suddenly died down. A gentle expression appeared on his face, and he waved goodbye to Hideyoshi. That innocent and warm look was as if he was saying goodbye to his first love.

　　After walking out of the campus, Eriri looked at Kento who was standing beside her.

　　"Any plans or arrangements?"

　　"Aren't you the sponsor? Of course I will follow your plan and arrangements. Two hours, when the time is up, I have to go home."

　　"snort."

　　With a snort, Eriri began to plan her schedule for the next two hours.

　　Behind Kento and Eriri, the five sisters walked together. Nino looked at Kento and Eriri in front of her, then turned around to glance at Nakano Ichika beside her.

　　"It looks like you failed. He seems to be closer to Sawamura now."

　　"I always feel that the relationship between these two people is a bit strange."

　　May glanced at the two people in front of her, then her eyes fell on Nakano Ichika beside her and she expressed her thoughts.

　　"strangeness?"

　　Yotsuba had a confused expression.

　　"I can't explain it. I just feel something strange when I see those two people standing together. It's the same when I'm at school. Those two people don't seem like people I just met... Well, it always feels weird."

　　May frowned and thought carefully about the two people she saw at school. She had never met them before, but during occasional contact and cooperation, the relationship between the two seemed to be as tacit as if they had known each other for a long time.

　　It seemed like he said something, but it also seemed like he said nothing.

　　Nino glanced at Satsuki and her eyes fell on Ichika.

　　"What should I do? Should I just give up?"

　　"Hmm? Give up what?"

　　"The current situation is not favorable to you, right? If you continue at this point, what do you think your chances of winning are?"

　　"You'll have to try it to know."

　　"Whatever you want."

　　Nino didn't try to persuade Ichika. She had said a lot from the beginning to now. Since Ichika insisted, let her do it.

　　Anyway, after failure and setbacks, you know to give up.

　　Eriri and Kento, who were walking in front, also noticed the five sisters behind them. Eriri glanced at the five sisters out of the corner of her eye and her gaze fell on Kento in front of her.

　　"It seems like they are discussing us."

　　"Um."

　　Kento also saw the five sisters behind him, and realized that the five sisters seemed to be talking about him and Eriri. Looking back, Kento greeted them with a smile and then withdrew his gaze.

　　"That's all."

　　Looking at the five sisters who seemed a little embarrassed and looked away, Eriri did not expect that Kento would actually take the initiative to greet them.

　　"Come to think of it, they are quintuplets. They all look so alike, but their personalities are completely different. Don't you have any interest in them at all?"

　　"If I say yes, will you call me a scumbag and a filthy person again?"

　　"No, I already understand this matter clearly, so there is no need to repeat it."

　　"What about the person who said he wanted to marry this scumbag like me?"

　　"...."

　　Ying Lili bit her lips, quickened her pace with an unhappy look on her face, and walked forward.

　　"What to do today?"

　　Sekai Saionji, who also had just finished school, had made an appointment with Setsuna yesterday. She looked at the girl, wondering what plans and arrangements she had for the day. At the same time, she looked at Kotonoha who was standing beside her.

　　There are three more people.

　　Could it be that, as we said last time, the three of us really have to spend the night together at Setsuna's house?

　　It's not that it's impossible. At the moment, she is a little reluctant to spend the night at Setsuna's house.

　　"Let's go to my house first."

　　Setsuna looked at the hesitant Saionji Sekai, and Katsura Kotonoha, who had no idea what was going on and just noticed that Saionji Sekai seemed a little different from usual and felt a little confused, and spoke softly.

　　— — — —

　　Yesterday, I was lying in bed and couldn't fall asleep. I opened my phone and saw the words "mooth fishing" written all over the screen.

　　Thank you and praise my Lord! , Bingxuan Qianji, Youwang Diaosha, Baihe Xiaoniao, for their monthly tickets! Thank you for your recommendation tickets!

Cherry Blossom Season: 107. Inside and Outside

　　He went to Shinjuku with Eriri and strolled around for a while. He had lunch with the girl in a restaurant, looked out at the view of Shinjuku from the SKY observation deck, and then went to a trendy clothing store and watched the girl buy various styles of spring and summer clothing, and then stuffed all of them into his hands.

　　When he returned to the door of Sawamura's house with Eriri and handed the things to her, and watched her hold them in her hands and in her arms, Kento felt that his arms no longer belonged to him. Even the movement of hooking his fingers became very difficult, and there was only indescribable sourness and pain.

　　"Don't you want to come in and do it?"

　　Standing at the door of her house, Ying Lili looked at Kento in front of her. The corners of her mouth slowly curved up, revealing her little white fangs, and her squinted eyes looked a little malicious.

　　Maybe he knew Kento's current attitude and that he was not willing to have contact with Sayuri, so he deliberately invited him.

　　"Sayuri is different from you. Actually, I don't mind going into your house and sitting for a while. I just don't know if Sayuri will take the initiative like before..."

　　"Forget it, just go."

　　Before Kento could finish his words, Eriri, who was standing at the door, closed the door of her house and turned to enter the yard. As for Kento, who was standing at the door, he looked at Eriri's back, feeling a little helpless. He curled his lips and turned to walk towards his apartment.

　　With some extra food in hand, the sense of urgency in his heart was not as strong as yesterday. He walked quietly on the way home. Kento didn't know what he could do now. He talked about studying, but there was no special progress in his studies until now.

　　"My current grades are considered average in the class, and I think they are above average in school."

　　I roughly estimated my current academic level. The class had only conducted a small test. The result was not satisfactory, but it was barely acceptable. After gradually recalling the knowledge learned in school, listening to lectures became simple and easy to understand.

　　However, these are only the few subjects that he is good at. For subjects that he was not good at before, no matter how many times he repeats them, there will always be questions that he cannot answer.

　　"Should I apply for a private school now?"

　　When he thought of those private schools that aimed to be famous schools, and their strict teaching methods, the expression on Kento's face became subtle. With a laid-back personality like his, he really couldn't stand that kind of atmosphere. But if he didn't go, his future development...

　　"For the greater good."

　　After a brief thought in his heart, Kento made a decision and walked from the door of Sawamura's house all the way to his apartment.

　　At noon, the three girls arrived at Kiyoura's house together. There were only three girls at home, but there were a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator. Setsuna and Saionji Sekai were both good at cooking. With the cooperation of the two, it was not difficult to prepare a hearty lunch.

　　"Kotonoha, aren't you good at cooking?"

　　When preparing lunch, Saionji Sekai asked Katsura Kotonoha to help, but found out that Kotonoha was not good at cooking. When she added sugar and salt, the amount was enough to be lethal. Fortunately, she stopped her, otherwise it would be unknown whether it was lunch or a deathbed dinner.

　　After hearing Saionji Sekai's straightforward question, Kotonoha's cheeks couldn't help but blush. She nodded and acknowledged the fact.

　　"Because I have always had my mother at home, and there is also a cook who is responsible for cooking, so..."

　　"Where's the eldest lady?"

　　Saionji Sekai nodded in understanding. As for Setsuna, his gaze lingered on Kotonoha for a moment, and after learning that the girl was not good at cooking, he no longer paid attention to the two of them and quietly prepared the meal.

　　"But his knife skills are very good. The potatoes and radishes he cut are both very delicate and look roughly the same. It's amazing."

　　Gently picking up two slices of potato chips, Saionji Sekai held them in front of her. She looked them carefully and found that the thickness of the two slices were almost the same. She picked up another slice and saw that they were also the same thickness, which surprised her.

　　"Because I have practiced kendo on a daily basis, so... this is the only aspect that I am relatively confident in."

　　"I see."

　　Looking at the two slices of potato chips in her hand, Saionji Sekai didn't know why, but she always felt a little cold. She silently put the potato chips back in place and changed the topic, no longer talking about knife skills.

　　"Miyazu, it seems he hasn't returned home yet?"

　　At this time, the topic she brought up about Kento was a little sensitive. Saionji Sekai herself knew it very well in her heart, but she didn't know what to talk about for a moment. In addition, when she was with Setsuna, the matter of Kento was unavoidable, so she asked Setsuna calmly as if it happened last night and nothing had happened.

　　"I don't know. I haven't met Kento since last night, so I don't know what he is doing."

　　"What happened?"

　　Katsura Yanye was a little surprised. In the past, she had occasionally heard some things about her and Kento from Setsuna, which made her full of envy for the couple and wondered when she would meet someone she liked.

　　Now, suddenly hearing that there seemed to be some conflict between Setsuna and Kenshin, Katsura Yanye couldn't help but become concerned.

　　"I'm sorry, that seems a bit presumptuous...I am being rude."

　　However, right after asking the question, Katsura Yanye felt that with her status, it seemed a bit too much to ask Setsuna such private questions about her own feelings, so she took the initiative to apologize.

　　But Shanna shook his head.

　　"I didn't consider Kento's thoughts and stayed close to him all the time, so I wanted to keep some distance so that I could rethink the relationship between Kento and me."

　　"....."

　　Saionji Sekai fell silent all of a sudden. Setsuna's words gave her the feeling that they were about to break up.

　　Her heart suddenly tensed up, but she felt that Setsuna would not break up with Kento so easily. Such remarks seemed to be a warning to her, and made Saionji Sekai, who almost did something excessive yesterday, feel nervous.

　　Katsura Kotonoha could understand Setsuna's words from time to time and knew what they meant. Looking at the silent Saionji Sekai and the calm Setsuna, she knew nothing and could only pretend that she understood and quietly cooperated with the two of them to prepare lunch.

　　In the afternoon, Gui Yanye called her home. The person who answered the phone was her younger sister Gui Xin. Unlike the girls who had to go to school on Saturday, Gui Xin, who was still in elementary school, had been at home since the morning. When she didn't see her sister come home at noon, she had basically guessed what had happened.

　　"Will you go home tonight?"

　　When Katsura Kotonoha heard her sister's question, she glanced at Sekai Saionji and Setsuna in the living room and hesitated for a moment.

　　"I don't know either. I'll contact you in the afternoon if you don't come home."

　　"Yes, I understand."

　　Having a well-behaved sister is probably the happiest thing in Kaede's life. She really wants to be with her sister, but she also cherishes the new friends she just met.

　　After talking to Keisuke on the phone and returning to the living room, the three girls sat together and watched TV in the living room. As usual, they started chatting about Sekai Saionji while talking on the TV.

　　But during the conversation, both Saionji Sekai and Katsura Kotonoha keenly noticed that Setsuna looked absent-minded.

　　After returning home, he took off his school uniform jacket and hung it aside, then put on his usual loose home clothes. He felt a lot more relaxed and no longer needed to think about his lunch. Having already filled his stomach in the restaurant, Kento sat down at his desk, opened the drawer of his desk, took out the manuscript, and continued to write.

　　I glanced at the clock on my desk and saw that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. I calmed down and prepared to use the time before dinner to write more content.

　　He took a look at what he had written previously and continued writing accordingly. Kento wrote at a steady pace, writing down the content bit by bit.

　　It was not until around four o'clock in the afternoon that the doorbell rang. Kento had just written about the neighbor's lady's husband, who had returned from outside. He was considering whether he should add some green plots and have the protagonist peek into a corner of the room to add some special elements, when he was interrupted by the doorbell.

　　He glanced at himself before he started writing, as if reminding and warning him, causing Kento to give up the idea of writing this part and stand up silently.

　　He put the manuscript on the table back into the drawer, walked slowly to the door, opened it, and saw a girl standing at the door in a pure white dress. The girl's expression was as calm as ever. After the door opened, she stared at Kento in front of her.

　　"Good afternoon, Setsuna."

　　"Have you just come back?"

　　"No, I came back at about three o'clock. What do you want from me?"

　　Kento was not surprised that Setsuna came to his door. Among the people he knew here, only a few would take the initiative to come to him. If the person who appeared in front of him was not Setsuna, he would be surprised.

　　"I'm not going in. There's something I need to talk to you about. Can you come to my house when you're free?"

　　"Your home?"

　　I was somewhat surprised by the instant rejection and looked back at my apartment. There was nothing else I could do except stay in the house and write a book.

　　"....I see."

　　Looking at the moment in front of him, Kento returned to the house, tidied up briefly, then came to the door, closed the door, and locked it casually.

　　"Then let's go to your house first."

　　"Um."

　　She just stood quietly at the door and watched Kento close the door. Setsuna walked down the stairs towards her apartment, and Kento followed her. The two of them went all the way to Setsuna's home. After the door opened, Kento was a little surprised and surprised to see two pairs of shoes placed at the door.

　　"Saionji and Katsura are there too?"

　　"Um."
