I.W.B.A.L

　　Seeing that Kento did not refuse, Ichika turned her head slightly and looked at Nino who was not far away. After meeting her sister's eyes, she narrowed her eyes complacently. Nino suddenly felt a little unhappy.

　　"Well, if Kento can recognize me, can he recognize the other four people in the class?"

　　"Nino with her princess-style hair, Miku with her long hair covering her eyes, Yotsuba with medium-short hair, and Mayu with her aho-hair sticking up."

　　After hearing Nakano Ichika's question, Kento raised his hand and gently pointed at the locations of the other four people, while accurately saying their names and characteristics, which made Ichika stunned.

　　It wasn't a big deal to recognize her alone, but I didn't expect that there was actually someone who could accurately recognize all five sisters on the first day they met.

　　But then he stared at Kento in front of him, couldn't help but smile strangely, narrowed his eyes, put his face close to Kento's ear with a narrow face, and whispered softly -

　　"Kento pays so much attention to us five sisters, could it be that he wants to...sister.don't?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 41. When you feel lonely, you can come to me

　　The gentle tone, accompanied by whispers, and the humid warm breeze floating in the ears, the content of the words made the innocent boy blush after hearing it.

　　Such a bold idea, even if a boy has such a fantasy in his heart, he would never say it out loud casually. But it was simply said by the girl next to him. Even Kento would have to admire Ichika's boldness.

　　However, he had had this thought before.

　　At this original point in time, he was just an ordinary high school boy who had just arrived in Tokyo and had no feelings for Sayuri. After entering a new environment, meeting new classmates, and getting to know the Nakano sisters, it was normal for him to have some fantasies, right?

　　You could say he was vulgar, but at that time, he did wonder if dating one of the five sisters would trigger some special side story, leading to a 'Harem' ending like 'Five Lovers'.

　　But plans cannot keep up with changes. When he was planning to date a random girl in the class, he inexplicably fell in love with the mother of the girl in the class, which led to a "bad" ending.

　　"That sounds good."

　　Kento looked at Nakano Ichika beside him and expressed his opinion on her guess.

　　"Oh wow, that's really bold."

　　Nakano Ichika was also stunned for a moment, looking at Kento in front of her, she couldn't help but smirk, she didn't expect that someone would dare to answer her directly, it's not like she hasn't used such words to tease others before, but she always got a "No way!" or a simple blushing silence.

　　A young man like the one in front of me gave his answer directly. I don't know if it's because he is not worried about causing some strange rumors, or if he is simply naive?

　　"But I already have a girlfriend, so forget it."

　　Blinking, Nakano Ichika looked at the boy in front of her, tilted her head slightly, and showed a confused expression.

　　"Did I hear something wrong just now?"

　　"He's a very cute child."

　　"Kid...Excuse me, how old is your girlfriend?"

　　I originally thought I had misheard, but when I heard the boy in front of me's comments about his girlfriend, I couldn't help but widen my eyes and look at the boy in front of me, as if I was ready to call the police if something went wrong.

　　"We're both freshmen in high school, attending the nearby Sakakino Academy."

　　Nakano Ichika felt like something was wrong and carefully recalled what she knew about the boy in front of her. He seemed to have come to Tokyo from Gifu and had lived in Gifu in Sekigahara before high school.

　　Does this mean that the other person got a girlfriend during this short spring break?

　　"Um... Kento, you haven't been to Tokyo since high school, right?"

　　"I just arrived in Tokyo a week ago."

　　Looking at the boy in front of her with a smile on his face, Nakano Ichika admitted that she had made a mistake. She had thought he was a pure and beautiful boy from a remote place, but she didn't expect him to be a ferocious carnivore who had a girlfriend in just a week.

　　Staring blankly at the young man in front of him, Nakano Ichika was silent for a moment, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.

　　"In just one week, you got a girlfriend?"

　　Looking at the girl who looked a little bit incredulous, Kento could roughly understand her shock.

　　Even among adults, unlike those who can go in and out of love hotels within two hours of meeting each other, most high school students are still relatively conservative, especially those who have just entered high school.

　　Even if it took a month from knowing each other to dating, it would be natural for them at this moment. However, starting dating within a week was still a little too much for the girl to imagine.

　　"No, it was two days, or three days. Because we lived nearby, she took the initiative to confess her love to me after she got to know me. Although I was a little surprised, I started dating her after getting her mother's consent."

　　Parental consent.

　　Nakano Ichika looked at the young man in front of her and fell into complete silence.

　　Not knowing what to say, she raised her right hand and gave a thumbs up to Kento in front of her.

　　"How's it going? Did you succeed?"

　　Nakano Nino had a faint smile on her lips as she looked at Nakano Ichika who seemed a little dazed. She didn't know what kind of blow she had suffered. She was always so energetic, but now she had such a blank expression.

　　Hearing Nino's voice, Ichika looked at Nino, who was supporting her chin with one hand, and was silent for a moment. His eyes moved slightly, and he regained his usual spirit. He narrowed his eyes, looked at his sister in front of him, and smiled wickedly.

　　"It's a pity that he doesn't like girls like me. But it's amazing that he recognized all five of us sisters after just one self-introduction."

　　"Did you recognize the five of us?"

　　Nino glanced at Ichika and felt a little surprised.

　　"I asked him to identify them just now, and he didn't make any mistakes. He also clearly understood the characteristics of each person. In addition, I asked him if he was interested in us sisters, and he said he was more interested in you, Nino."

　　Trying to hold back his smile, Ichika couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

　　I had previously asked if they were interested in the five sisters, and they had responded by showing some interest.

　　There's nothing wrong with telling Nino that I'm interested in her now, right?

　　There's something strange.

　　He glanced at Ichika in front of him, then glanced in the direction of Kento, noticing that the boy seemed to be looking out the window again, staring suspiciously at the smirking Ichika in front of him.

　　"You're lying to me."

　　"No, no, I'm really interested in you. If you don't believe me, just go and ask."

　　"....."

　　Nino didn't believe it, but she didn't really ask. She just ignored Ichika. As for Ichika, she gave a sly smile and slowly returned to her table.

　　There shouldn't be any problem in playing a little prank on your sister, right?

　　perhaps.

　　From the opening ceremony to the end, Kento, who was sitting in the classroom, got to know most of the classmates again, or at least he was at the level of knowing them.

　　Umetaro Nozaki, who was sitting at the table behind him, didn't have much communication with him, but he was Kento who knew the other person's character and profession well, so he didn't care too much.

　　When school was over, I walked out of the school, but I didn't see Setsuna.

　　"Didn't your girlfriend come to see you?"

　　Ichika suddenly appeared from behind Kento at some point and chuckled at him.

　　"She has already started school. Since the two schools are quite far apart, we probably won't see her going to school or leaving school."

　　"That's a shame. If you feel lonely, you can ask your sister to accompany you."

　　Looking at Ichika who was making the scissors hand gesture, Kento stared at her for a while and nodded slowly.

　　"I'll think about it."

　　As soon as he finished speaking, he gradually faded away. As for Ichika, she looked at Kento's back as he left and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

　　"He won't take it seriously, will he?"

Cherry Blossom Season: 42. Takasu Ryuji: Take care of yourself, my friend

　　Sekai Saionji and Kiyoura Setsuna left school. Because they received text messages from their mothers, Sekai Saionji and Kiyoura Setsuna did not stay together as usual. They let Kiyoura Setsuna go home alone, and Sekai Saionji rushed to her mother's restaurant to help.

　　Although the store has recruited staff working in the store, on some busier days, Sekai Saionji would be called by her mother to help in the restaurant.

　　As usual, she entered the restaurant from the back door, went all the way to the studio, put on the restaurant's work clothes, and when Saionji Sekai was about to go to the restaurant's lobby to help with the work, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of her mother's office.

　　"Is he in the office now?"

　　I wanted to find my mother to confirm my work for the day, and meet with Saionji Yuko to tell her that I had arrived at the store.

　　"I don't know why it happened so quickly."

　　But just as Saionji Sekai arrived at the door of the office and was about to push it open, she heard a familiar voice at the door - the voice of Setsuna's mother, Kiyoura Mai.

　　"Last night, Setsuna came home and asked me when she would marry the other party. I asked casually, and Setsuna told me that she and the other party would 'graduate' together at the weekend..."

　　"Wouldn't it be better to just stop it?"

　　The voice of Saionji Yuko also sounded. Saionji Sekai, who was standing outside the office, was filled with confusion and puzzlement in her mind. She couldn't help but move closer to the door and listened quietly to the conversation in the office.

　　"No matter how you stop it, you've already agreed to their relationship, so this day will come sooner or later, it's just a matter of sooner or later. I didn't expect it to come so soon."

　　Kiyoura Mai covered her forehead with her hands, feeling a slight headache and not knowing how to deal with her daughter's affairs. After finishing work, she hurried to Saionji Oiko's restaurant like last time and found Saionji Oiko to discuss.

　　Rather than a negotiation, it would be more like simply expressing one's inner sorrow to the other party.

　　"So you've given up completely?"

　　"Since Setsuna loves someone so much, I should protect Setsuna from getting hurt, rather than my own feelings, right?"

　　"So what did you come to talk to me about today? Just to tell me about the progress of your daughter's love life and whether she has reached the home plate?"

　　Saionji Yuko looked at Kiyoura Mai in front of her and was somewhat confused about what she was thinking. As for Kiyoura Mai, she bit her delicate lips, remained silent for a long time, and sat on the chair helplessly and discouraged.

　　"Knowing that your daughter is about to graduate, it's impossible for you to be completely indifferent, right? If Shijie found a boyfriend and was ready to go in a week, would you be able to pretend that you knew nothing?"

　　"We are already in high school. What happened shouldn't be a big deal, right? Didn't you and I have a daughter when we were both in high school?"

　　Saionji Yuiko didn't care much about it. Even if she didn't forgive the man, it meant that she couldn't accept that her daughter was in love during high school and had something happen with the person she liked.

　　Standing outside the office door, Sekai Saionji listened to the conversation inside the office, her mind in a mess.

　　"Is Setsuna going to 'graduate' with Miyamizu-kun?"

　　...

　　"Long'er?"

　　A voice was heard behind him. Takasu Ryuji, who was walking on his way home, seemed to hear someone calling his name and looked back.

　　"Kento? What are you wearing? Has school started yet?"

　　Kento was walking home from school when he met Takasu Ryuji at the intersection.

　　"School just started today. Haven't you started school yet?"

　　"Not yet. School doesn't start until next month, which is about a week away. You guys are starting school really fast."

　　Takasu Ryuji, who hadn't seen Kento for a while, looked at Kento, who was carrying a school bag and wearing a school uniform. Even though the school uniform was not very good-looking, it was still quite eye-catching on Kento, which made Takasu Ryuji a little envious.

　　He didn't expect to be very handsome, he just hoped that his eyes would be less fierce.

　　"You're not going home, are you? Are you going somewhere?"

　　"Today the shopping street is having a sale, so I'm going to buy some daily ingredients. Some of the coupons I have are about to expire, so I need to use them up. Do you want to join me?"

　　"A promotion?"

　　Kento thought about the ingredients in his refrigerator. He bought a lot of them when he and Long'er went out last time, and there are still some left.

　　But it was a promotion after all, and he couldn't just pretend he didn't hear it. Even if he didn't buy anything, it would be nice to add some ingredients.

　　"Okay, let's go shopping together."

　　"Here, this is a promotional voucher."

　　Takasu Ryuji took out some of the coupons he got from his last purchase from his pocket and gave them to Kento. Kento didn't hesitate to thank him and took the coupons from him. Then he and Takasu Ryuji walked towards the shopping street together...

　　There were clearly still some ingredients in his refrigerator, but when he followed Takasu Ryuji into the supermarket and looked at the discounted and promotional items, and those fresh ingredients, Kento still couldn't control his hands.

　　By the time he came to his senses, he had already bought a bunch of ingredients, vegetables and fruits, and was following Takasu Ryuji on the way home.

　　"Is it really okay to buy so much? Is it okay for one person?"
