With a touch of sad and memorable melodies and songs, Kuta really knows the feelings hidden in his heart by this senior.

Kuta never thought that the Tosaka senior, who is always decisive and introverted on weekdays, has such an emotional side.

Whether others were kind or cold, grateful or resentful, respectful or contemptuous, the senior had always been at ease, as if he had no feelings at all, although he knew that the other party actually had feelings. Even if there is any reaction, it is mostly a child's playful attitude.

But it's one thing to know, it's another to actually see and hear.

The memories of the past, the examination of the present, and the expectations and worries for the future are all expressed through this song.

Moreover, this song also touched him a lot.

Not ten years later, just one year, everyone at Sakuraso doesn't know what will happen.

At this time next year, Misaki and Hito, who are in the third grade, will not be in this Sakura Village.

And Sota knows that Jen will not be in Sakuraso, not even in Tokyo - he is going to go to Osaka's art university.

As for the reason, Kuta can probably understand it - just like he chose to work hard to enrich himself this summer in order to walk side by side with Mashiro; Ren made this decision out of the same consideration - in order for himself to be able to walk side by side with Misaki, at least to be able to keep up with Misaki's footsteps.

However, it is still unacceptable.

Although it is understandable for Ren to do this, Kuta still can't accept his approach in his heart.

Can't he think about the feelings of Misaki-senpai who loves him?

Whenever Sota saw the innocent expression of that alien-senpai, he felt an urge to tell the story and stop Ren.

But he understands that no matter how awkward he is, no matter how he shouts and doesn't want to, this is a fact that cannot be changed. Just imagining Sakura Village without two people, he couldn't help but have a sour nose.

What can be done in the meantime?

Will you be able to get along well with Nanami? What will become of Ren and Misaki? If Maharo is true, he should be able to succeed in becoming a manga artist; Ryunosuke may be the same as he is now. So, what about yourself?

Can you design a successful game?

Can you make a successful project?

Will you be able to catch up with Mahaku and walk side by side with her?

Although I have made great progress in my studies these days, there is still a long way to go from the height of Mashiro.

These problems make the empty too toss and turn. Even with the sound of rain outside hypnotizing, he had difficulty sleeping.

So, he decided to go out and take a break in the living room – God knows what to do in the living room.

The old wooden floor creaked and made Sota worry if it would step out of a hole.

The light in the living room was still on, which made Sota a little curious - everyone in Sakuraso lived a very regular life, at least when it came to entering the room. Unless there is an accident, in most cases, after eight o'clock in the evening, whether it is Ryunosuke Shinshira, who likes to work in the dormitory, or Nanami, who is a very regular person; Or Ren, who likes to stay up at night, and Misaki, who is energetic, will automatically enter the room. It's ten o'clock in the evening, who's there? Could it be

"It's time for the little ones to go to bed, uh."

Sure enough, in the living room, it was the one who came back from the class reunion - for her, it can also be called a blind date, Chihiro, the drunkard housekeeper of Sakura Village.

"It's time for the teacher to go to bed, right?"

"Don't compare me to you little kids!"

With that, she picked up the bottle and took another sip.

"Tell me, who is and what happened today, hurry up and finish, and then obediently go back to sleep."

"Huh?"

"You guy, you're the kind of person who gets tricked because of other people's things!" Chihiro, who had drunk HIGH, looked at him and said with a big tongue.

"It's better than the teacher's irresponsibility, right?"

"You dare to go to (complain) about the teacher, you are not too bold!"

"Please don't say something so misleading, teacher."

"Cut, I'm bored to death, one or two are like this!" With a grumbling of dissatisfaction, Chihiro crumpled an empty can into a ball.

"By the way, this is for you!" She took out a courier and "give it to Mashiro." ”

"This is"

It was a red and blue-trimmed envelope. Letters from abroad, with addresses and names written in English. Kuta felt that the non-kanji mail she had held in her hand for the first time was very strange, so she naturally flipped over and looked at it.

The sender's name is on it.

Probably pronounced Adair. Eindworth.

Eindworth? It seems to be the surname of Mr. Mahaku--the reason why I know this is thanks to the popular science of fate--someone claims that the inspiration for the surname Einzberen comes from Mr. Mahaku's surname.

However, even if this is the case, it is not easy to let your guard down.

What is the relationship between this person and Mashiro? What is the appearance ......? ...... age? What does it do......? Also, what is written in the letter? It really made his heart tight, and he had to care.

"That's a man's name, right?"

He couldn't help but look at Chihiro with serious eyes.

"Don't show that terrifying expression, the jealousy of the teenager will be seen through."

"I—I don't have ......"

"If you want to know, go ask for the truth yourself—or, open the letter yourself!" With a bad smile on his face that is characteristic of adults after the age of thirty, the drunkard housekeeper poured himself another big mouthful.

"Don't say this kind of thing that makes students commit crimes!"

is complaining, but in Kongtai's heart, there is a little demon encouraging him to do this - anyway, Mashiro is so confused that he won't notice such small details.

However, this thought was only for a moment, and it was suppressed by Kuta's reason: based on the information gathered before, when Mashiro was in England before, he had been painting and had never been in contact with other people, and the friend he mentioned was only a girl named 'Rita', so this Mr. Adele was most likely her teacher, or a relative of her teacher.

It's just that, to be on the safe side, it's still necessary to do a little bit of research.

Take out your phone, quickly type in the name on the courier, and

"Adair. Eindworth, British, 68 years old, famous painter Huh, sure enough. ”

Thanks to modern technology, Kuta quickly found what he was looking for - which gave him a sigh of relief.

With a relaxed and natural pace, he walked towards the second floor.
