I.W.B.A.L

　　But when I went out, I found that there was nothing particularly interesting. I strolled quietly on the street, looking at the designs and shops around me that were full of a sense of the times. Even though a lot of time has passed, there has been basically no major changes.

　　"Now take a look here."

　　He didn't have much money in his wallet, he just came here to take a look at the situation. If possible, he could buy something to take back. If conditions did not allow, he would have to wait until the next time conditions permitted and then come here to replenish it.

　　"This is the Sony-Xperia Z1 released last year, the price is...."

　　Kento looked down at the price tag which showed over 100,000 yen. This was about the entire amount of money he had left, so he gave up the idea. For a moment, he was shaken and considered whether he should work part-time in a gigolo club.

　　I don't know if 'mom life' is still popular nowadays. I... No, I can't think about it anymore.

　　He looked at the counter in silence. Although it seemed to be up to standard from the perspective of the current era, for a "future man" like Kento, such a price-performance ratio was too outrageous.

　　It is better to wait until next year 2015 before considering it. In the second half of this year, 6 will be released. Instead of buying 5 and the Sony just mentioned, it is better to save some money and wait until September this year before considering other options.

　　"It's still... five months away. It will take some time to complete Honeyland and release it."

　　Kento suddenly felt the burden of life and no longer had the mood to continue wandering the streets. He hurriedly took the subway back to his home, sat down at his desk, took out the manuscripts in the drawer, and continued writing.

　　When he arrived at Kento's house, he found the door was not closed. He pushed it lightly and entered the house. He saw Kento sitting at the desk, writing furiously.

　　Seeing Kento working so hard for some reason, Setsuna came to his side. Without disturbing Kento, she just stood aside and glanced at what Kento wrote. Then she was stunned....

　　"Ah, um... Onii-sama... I'm... I'm... I'm... I'm coming..."

　　"Is this a battle scene? Is the protagonist's sister fighting an enemy? Is the situation critical?"

　　He looked at the virtuous man, who was concentrating on writing. Not only did he not pay attention to the moment beside him, he even whispered softly while writing.

　　"I... already, can't... hold it anymore... um, let's say the following... together... um..."

Cherry Blossom Season: 92.Qualities that attract strange girls

　　The only time I noticed Setsuna's presence was because there was suddenly a cup of tea on my desk. I turned around and glanced towards the room, only to notice that Setsuna was sitting in my room, looking at me calmly.

　　"When did you come?"

　　"Half an hour ago."

　　"...."

　　It's not that he didn't notice Setsuna's existence, but Kento who was thinking didn't pay special attention to Setsuna beside him, or he subconsciously ignored him.

　　It was only when he saw Shanshan sitting in the house that he came to his senses. However, even though he noticed Shanshan's existence, he still couldn't remember when the other party entered the room. He forgot the time and looked at the alarm clock on the desk in front of him.

　　"Half an hour ago, at five o'clock?"

　　The room was a little dim, and Kento felt his eyes a little sore. He stood up, walked to the wall and turned on the light, then looked back at Shanshan who was sitting in his room and stretched his hands and feet slightly.

　　"Well, seeing that Kento was working hard, I didn't bother you."

　　"effort..."

　　Not knowing whether Setsuna had seen what he had written, Kento returned to his desk, simply organized the contents, put them back in his drawer, and looked at Setsuna who was sitting in the room.

　　"Miss Wu, are you back?"

　　"No."

　　"Um."

　　Kento quietly prepared dinner. He simply processed the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator and prepared a curry as the main course for tonight. He also prepared some cold dishes. After waiting for about the same time, he walked to the window sill and looked at Qingpu's house opposite. He found that the lights were still dim. It seemed that Qingpu Mai had not returned home yet?

　　Looking to the side, Kento's eyes were a little confused. Normally, Qingura Mai should have arrived home at this time, right?

　　"I don't know. He didn't tell me anything when he left today, so I don't know either."

　　Setsuna shook her head, saying that she didn't know why Qingpu Mai hadn't returned home yet. Perhaps the phone at home had rang, but she just stayed at home for a short while and then rushed directly to Kento.

　　Confused, Kento took out his cell phone from his pocket and found Qingura Mai among his contacts.

　　Dial the other party's number.

　　"Hmm? Kento?"

　　"Miss Wu, are you still off work?"

　　"Off work? Already off work. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you and Setsuna that I'm having dinner outside with my friends tonight. You don't have to wait for me. I'll be back later."

　　"Dining with friends?"

　　He looked at the person beside him with some surprise. He didn't know who the other party's friend was. Kento didn't have any intention to ask any more questions. He was about to express that he understood. When he was about to hang up the phone, another female voice was heard from the other end of the phone.

　　"What's wrong, Wu, is it the daughter of the family?"

　　"No, my daughter's...boyfriend."

　　"Oh, that's the one you mentioned--"

　　"Alright! Yuko, stop talking. Ah, the phone hasn't been hung up yet. Well, Kento, you and Setsuna can take care of the dinner. I'll be back as soon as possible. I'm hanging up now."

　　The phone was hung up in a hurry, and Kento looked at Shanshan next to him. The phone was not on speakerphone, but the voice was quite clear in the quiet room. He believed that Shanshan, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly.

　　Setsuna nodded, without any dissatisfaction or disappointment, and sat down calmly at the dining table.

　　"No need to wait for her."

　　"Um."

　　Without Qingpu Mai, Kento and Setsuna seemed a little silent when they were sitting at the dining table to eat. They ate quietly until the end of the meal. Kento cleaned the table and Setsuna sat there, watching Kento clean up. After he sat down, he slowly came to Kento's side.

　　"Kento."

　　"What's wrong, Setsuna?"

　　He looked at the girl who supported herself on the floor with her hands, slowly crawled to his side, pressed her body on his legs, and leaned close to him. There was a hint of uneasiness in the girl's eyes.

　　"No, nothing, I just wanted to call you."

　　The girl, who had pressed her body against Kento's arms, lowered her head silently, and quietly pressed against Kento's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

　　Because he had just thought about the fact that his body was not mature enough at school today, Kento did not do anything strange with Setsuna. He just held Setsuna quietly.

　　At around seven o'clock, Setsuna returned to his home and brought some pajamas and overnight supplies to Kento's apartment. After the two took a shower together, they put on pajamas and lay on the same bed.

　　"Goodnight, Setsuna."

　　"Well, good night, Kento."

　　After leaving a note at home, Setsuna didn't worry about his mother returning home and not knowing where she was.

　　Looking at the boy in front of her, Shanna slowly closed her eyes, lay down beside him peacefully, and fell asleep peacefully in his arms.

　　After drinking with Saionji Oiko, Kiyoura Mai, who was a little tipsy, returned to her home.

　　"Sh...Hmm."

　　She was about to tell her daughter that she was back, but she thought that if Setsuna was already asleep, she might wake her up. So Qingura Mai walked slowly into the room in silence, looked at the darkness around her, groped the wall, and turned on the light.

　　In the living room which suddenly became bright, there was no sign of his daughter and the room was also pitch dark.

　　Hmm...

　　If Setsuna was at home at this time, at least the lights in the living room would be on, right?

　　Qingpu Mai couldn't help but take two steps back, went back to the door, and looked at the apartment opposite.

　　The lights were off, and he must have fallen asleep.

　　"...."

　　Qingura Mai closed the door again and entered the living room. She noticed the note stuck on the table, reached out and picked it up.

　　'Don't worry if you stay overnight at Kento's house.'

　　"...."

　　The overly concise message made Qingpu Mai purse her lips. There was a little loss in her eyes. She looked at her daughter's room sullenly, and then walked towards her own room silently.

　　No more shower.

　　Not in the mood.

　　She walked into her room and lay down. Qingpu Wu suddenly thought of something. She propped up her arms on the bed again, sat up slowly, and walked back to the living room.

　　Snap——

　　He turned off the lights and returned to his room.

　　"Ah... so lonely."

　　He got up early in the morning and woke up Setsuna. Setsuna put on his school uniform and changed his clothes in front of Kento. Kento, who had just woken up in the morning, felt that his body was full of energy all of a sudden. He stared at Setsuna for a long time, was silent for a moment, turned his head away silently, and changed his clothes.

　　When the two of them went out together, Saionji Sekai, who was waiting at the door of Qingpu's house, stared at them as they walked out of the apartment together.

　　Chirp——

　　The whole person of Saionji Sekai seemed to have turned gray. She watched Kento wave to her slightly, but she didn't care. She just stared blankly at Setsuna walking up to her, stretching out his hand, and gently pinching her nose before she came back to her senses.

　　Looking at the moment in front of her, she trembled all over. When would someone like her who had no boyfriend be able to stand up?

　　"That's too much!"

　　"What?"

　　When Shanda looked at the girl in front of him, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Wasn't it like this for a normal relationship?

　　"Isn't it a bit too much to show affection like this in front of others? Setsuna!"

　　"Isn't this the case for normal couples? If you were in the same school, would you be able to adapt to the world faster?"

　　"...."

　　After a moment of silence, Saionji Sekai, who always said "It's a pity that you two are not in the same school", fell into speechlessness after hearing Setsuna's words. She puffed up her cheeks sullenly and walked towards the school. As for Setsuna, he followed behind him, and the two went to school together.

　　Kento, who was going to school alone, unexpectedly met Satsuki, the youngest of the Nakano sisters, on the way.

　　"Ah...our eyes met."

　　When May saw Kento appearing at the corner, she also noticed him and even couldn't help but mutter something, which made Kento a little embarrassed for a moment.

　　"Good morning, Nakano Satsuki-san."

　　"...You can call me Nakano-san or Satsuki. There's no need to call me by my full name. Doesn't that sound weird?"

　　"A little."

　　Kento did not deny it. He nodded and kept a slight distance from May. The two walked on the way to school together. May was holding a bun in her hand. She didn't know if she minded Kento's presence. At first, her pace was normal, but gradually slowed down.

　　Before he knew it, he had already walked behind Kento. Kento, who didn't pay much attention at first, turned around and noticed the girl biting the meat bun when he lost May's figure in his sight.

　　"...."

　　The satisfied and happy gazes, and the confused gazes, once again met each other from a distance.

　　The girl's cheeks suddenly turned red and she quickly turned her head away in shame, while Kento slightly slowed down his pace.

　　"Ichika, is she still not up?"

　　"Well... I'm still at home. It should be about time to go out."

　　May felt relieved that the topic of meat buns was not brought up. She carefully glanced at Kento beside her and found that his gaze and expression were extremely calm, and he did not have any intention of laughing at her, so she felt relieved.

　　"That's a little surprising. I thought you five went to school together every day."

　　"...It's like this on weekdays, but sometimes there are special days or special reasons."

　　"I see."

　　Kento nodded without asking any more questions. The two kept their distance and slowly came to the school. After entering the school gate, May met other friends and started chatting with them. Kento didn't care and walked to the teaching building alone. When he put his shoes into the shoe cabinet, he unexpectedly found a pink envelope.

　　"...."

　　It has been almost half a month since the start of school, and Kento was a little surprised that someone sent him a love letter so soon.

　　I slowly picked up the envelope, and when I pinched it, I felt a subtle touch. It didn't feel like letter paper, but instead had a hard plastic texture?

　　Kento was silent for a moment, silently took the envelope in his hand, and did not open it directly. He put it into his schoolbag, changed his shoes, and walked towards the classroom.

　　May, whose shoe cabinet was not far from Kento, saw Kento take out the pink envelope from the shoe cabinet. She was a little concerned, but did not think much about it. After changing her shoes, she followed Kento into the classroom.
