I.W.B.A.L

　　"I have to go to school tomorrow, why not... forget it?"

　　— — — —

　　I dreamed of meeting a bad woman who cheated me of money and feelings. When I was about to take revenge on her and her seemingly bad best friend, I found out that her best friend was a good woman. Then she got married and had a child. After waking up, I looked at a room full of people... and cried.

Cherry Blossom Season: 56. The Temptation of Going Home

　　Shanna opened her eyes and stared at Kento in front of her without saying anything. Just staring at him gave him a great sense of oppression, which made Kento's eyes wander for a moment and he understood the girl's determination.

　　"Okay, I understand. But it's still morning, so there's no need to rush. I'll go get ready first...Also, the quilt cover and sheets have already been washed, so we'll have to wait until the afternoon at least."

　　Glancing in the direction of the washing machine, Kento's expression was a little subtle. At that time, he just wanted to wash his sheets and quilt covers, but he didn't expect that they could be of some use at this time. Kento looked at Setsuna.

　　The girl frowned slightly. She had not expected such a situation to happen. She felt that something was not going well. She looked at Kento, not knowing why he suddenly thought of washing the sheets and quilt covers today.

　　He was confused in his heart, but did not ask. His eyes fell on the bed beside him. Looking at the pure white mattress, the quilt and pillow on the mattress, he suddenly felt a little anxious.

　　"My home."

　　"Um?"

　　His eyes fell in front of Shanshan and met the girl's clear eyes. The girl pursed her cherry lips slightly and gave a solution to the problem.

　　"Come to my house."

　　"..."

　　Looking at the girl in front of him, Kento also felt the girl's inner anxiety. He didn't quite understand why the girl was so anxious, but looking at Setsuna's eyes, he paused slightly.

　　"Miss Mai is still home, right? It's not appropriate to go to your house like this."

　　"Then bring the sheets and quilt covers from my room."

　　It's not impossible.

　　Looking at the petite girl in front of him with an unexpectedly stubborn personality, Kento closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then looked at the girl in front of him again.

　　"Are you really ready?"

　　His eyes fell on the girl in front of him, and Kento asked the girl in front of him.

　　Setsuna nodded, his eyes not wavering in the slightest.

　　Kento sitting in the room slowly stood up, walked to the window, opened the gauze curtain, and looked at the blue sky outside the window.

　　The weather is very good today, the sun is shining brightly, and the warm light shines on our bodies, making us feel warm.

　　The window was opened slightly, and warm wind blew into the room. Kento returned to the room and sat down next to Setsuna.

　　The girl turned her head to look at Kento sitting next to her. Her heart beat faster. She thought Kento was going to do something to her, but then she saw that Kento was just sitting next to her and didn't do anything to her.

　　After taking a look at the girl sitting next to him, Kento brought his teacup in front of him, took a sip, and looked at Setsuna beside him.

　　"Is Setsuna afraid of pain?"

　　"I am afraid, but there are Kento, so it is not scary."

　　Facing the gaze of Kento, she smiled brilliantly in the warm sunshine, melting away the remaining sense of distance between Kento and the girl...

　　Lying alone in her bed with her eyes closed, Qingura Mai felt her body and regained her youth. She became restless and the images swaying in her mind made her feel uneasy.

　　After opening her eyes, Qingpu Wu looked towards the door, sat up silently, and walked out of her room.

　　Looking at the empty living room, there was no sign of Shanta. It seemed that he had just returned home and had gone out again.

　　As for where he went...

　　"..."

　　Qingpu Mai could guess the answer without thinking too much. Her eyes seemed a little vague. She walked to the refrigerator, took out the milk, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank some from the small hole. She closed the refrigerator and sat down in the living room with the milk.

　　He picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV in front of him, and prepared to use the TV program to divert his attention.

　　"When Shimizu was dating his girlfriend Akizuki, he also had an unclean relationship with Akizuki's mother, which led to Akizuki's revenge on Shimizu, causing Shimizu..."

　　Looking at the news being broadcast in front of her, Qingpu Mai's expression was a little unnatural. She touched the remote control she had just put down and changed a program -

　　"Didn't you agree to be with me? We've already decided on our life after marriage..."

　　"I'm sorry, I know this is wrong, but the person I like is your mother."

　　"Mom? She...you—"

　　This time, without even putting down the remote control, Qingura Mai directly turned off the TV in front of her and fell into a long silence.

　　'Is there something wrong today?'

　　It's not that there hasn't been news like this in the past, but it was basically only seen once or twice in a long period of time. But why did they have to report such news today?

　　Sitting silently in the living room, Qingpu Mai bit her lips, looked back at Setsuna's room, feeling a little uneasy. She stood up silently, walked to the door of her daughter's room, and gently knocked on her daughter's door.

　　"Setsuna, are you there?"

　　There was no response from the room. Qingura Mai relaxed her guard slightly, looked down at the door, shook her hand, and gently pushed the door open.

　　Looking at the empty room, she silently closed the door again and stood in the living room, not knowing what to do for a moment. She raised her head and looked at the clock hanging in the living room. The hands slowly pointed to ten o'clock.

　　It was almost noon. At this time, Setsuna would either go home immediately or stay at Kento's place for dinner. She didn't really want to face her daughter at the moment.

　　Otherwise, you wouldn't pretend to be asleep in the morning when you are awake.

　　"Today, let's go out and stay at Yuko's place for a while, and hide from Setsuna for a while... No, Yuko is very sensitive about this. If we go to her now, she will definitely guess what happened."

　　But if she didn't go to find Yuko and stayed at home, she hadn't fully prepared herself mentally, and her mood was still a little uneasy. In this case, if she and Setsuna...

　　Snap——

　　The sound of the door opening was heard, and Qingpu Mai, who was standing in the living room, became stiff. Her mind went blank. Listening to the footsteps and voices in the entrance hall, Qingpu Mai gradually turned around and looked towards the door.

　　"Mom was still sleeping in the morning, she should be awake now. However, our matter has nothing to do with her, just go directly to my room."

　　"Um."

　　The voices of Setsuna and Kento were clearly heard at the door. Qingura Mai turned around and saw her daughter and Kento, who looked calm, standing beside Setsuna.

　　— — — —

　　I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to take a nap first. I'll tell you what I dreamed about later.

　　Thanks to Jinniku Otaku for the tip! The boss is generous! I wish you good health!

Cherry Blossom Season: 57. Go to my house first, then go to your house [Subscribe]

　　"Miss Dance."

　　Kento, who entered her house along with Setsuna, also noticed Qingura Mai standing in the living room when he looked up, and greeted her naturally.

　　"Ken...Miyamizu-kun, Setsuna, it's the weekend today, did you plan to go out on a date together?"

　　After a brief moment of shock, Qingpu Mai didn't know what was wrong with her. Her mood suddenly calmed down. She looked at her daughter, regained her usual calmness, and asked with a smile.

　　The moment I returned home, I glanced at my mother, not knowing what she was doing standing in the living room.

　　"No, I just came back to get the sheets and quilt covers. Kento cleaned the room today and washed the sheets and quilt covers. I didn't have any other spare sheets, so I gave them mine to him."

　　"..."

　　Qingura Mai, who had just regained her composure, suddenly became a little unnatural after hearing Setsuna's words. An embarrassed expression flashed across her face, and she nodded as if she was thinking about something.

　　"I see."

　　"I'm taking Kento to his room, don't worry about us."

　　"..."

　　Looking at Setsuna walking towards the room and Kento standing beside her, Qingpu Wu clearly felt her heartbeat quicken for a moment when Kento passed by her, until Kento and Setsuna entered the room and their figures disappeared in front of her. Qingpu Wu's heartbeat gradually returned to normal. Her face felt a little hot, and she rubbed her cheeks with her hands, then sat down in the living room.

　　Last night, I just wanted to tell the boy that my daughter did not come home at night and stayed at Saionji Sekai's house, but when we were chatting at Kento's house, the topic inexplicably turned to age.

　　After Qingpu Mai smiled softly, she noticed that Kento's gaze lingered in front of her, so Qingpu Mai couldn't help but look down at the figure under the black sweater in front of her, and then looked at Kento who had shifted his gaze. Her face turned slightly red, and she was a little surprised.

　　"Miyamizu-kun, last time you said you prefer mature girls, right?"

　　Without thinking, he couldn't help but talk about the topic that should have been avoided, and the moment Qingpu Mai blurted out the question, she felt a little regretful.

　　Kento, who was sitting opposite her, was also a little surprised by Qingpu Mai's words. He raised his head and looked at Qingpu Mai with surprise.

　　"I did say that, but rather than saying I like mature women, I prefer women who are mature and sensible and won't cause trouble to others. If I were to simply summarize and describe this type of woman, it would probably be considerate."

　　"Thoughtful..."

　　Qingura Mai looked at the boy in front of her and nodded, but she didn't quite understand why Kento would like this type of girl.

　　Although everyone has their own preferred type, why do they prefer girls of this type?

　　"Don't you like lively girls?"

　　"It's not that I don't like her, but I prefer girls with quiet personalities over lively ones."

　　"Mature?"

　　Facing Qingpu Mai's gaze, Kento nodded.

　　"Mature."

　　"Do you think Setsuna's personality is mature, so you agreed to date Setsuna?"

　　"Because when Setsuna grows up, she will definitely look more like Miss Mai, so I am looking forward to Setsuna's future."

　　With a smile, Kento's original intention was just to praise Qingura Mai in front of him, but as soon as he said this, he noticed the mature single mother in front of him and his face turned red.

　　Are you angry?

　　Kento was a little surprised, and when he wanted to explain what he meant, Qingpu Mai's response almost made him lose his composure for a moment.

　　"So...do you like my type?"

　　Looking at Qingpu Mai's rosy face and shy expression, her soft whispers did not seem like she was angry at all. Instead, they were full of girlish emotions, which made Kento unable to comprehend for a moment.

　　With the thinking of an adult, he could naturally see that Qing Pu Mai in front of him seemed to be...aroused?

　　"...."

　　For a moment, even though Kento had a lot of things he wanted to say in his mind, facing Qingura Mai in front of him, he didn't know where to start. The atmosphere in the room fell into an inexplicable silence for a while.

　　Just when Kento was considering how to respond without being rude, Qingpu Mai opposite him had already taken action, slowly moving her seat and coming to Kento's side.

　　Looking at Kento beside her, she had a blush on her face and a slight smile, her eyes fixed on Kento in front of her.

　　"Kento also said before that he has never had a girlfriend, right?"

　　"Yes...I basically went home straight after school every day, and stayed with my sister during the holidays, so I never thought about dating."

　　"So, Kento is not very familiar with this aspect of relationships, right?"

　　"..."

　　The topic became more and more subtle. Kento's reason told him to keep a distance from Qingpu Mai beside him, but as Qingpu Mai was getting closer and closer, moving his body seemed futile. Kento nodded reluctantly.

　　It was obviously impossible for him to tell the young mother next to him that he had been in a relationship with a woman of about her age.

　　Seeing Kento nod, Qingpu Mai's face became more and more rosy, and the atmosphere gradually became more charming.

　　Feeling the delicate body pressed against his arm, his expression gradually became unnatural. He turned his head to look at Qingpu Mai beside him, and felt that the other's eyes were like rippling spring water, full of tenderness.

　　"Well then, let me teach you, Kento, what to do when you are in love..."

　　When Qingpu Mai was sitting in the living room reminiscing, Kento and Setsuna had already entered the room. Setsuna casually closed his door and looked at Kento beside him. His expression was calm and natural, and there was nothing strange about it.

　　But just now in the living room...

　　Living with Kiyoura Mai and being raised by her, Setsuna clearly felt the difference between her mother and herself. There was a distinct sense of incongruity, but she didn't know what was wrong, and her eyes were always on Kento.

　　"Did mom just tell Kento yesterday that I stayed overnight at the Sekai place?"

　　Looking at Setsuna's room, this was his first time entering Setsuna's room.

　　After hearing the girl's words, Kento looked down at Setsuna beside him with a confused look on his face.

　　"Hmm? Anything else?"
