As the sun sets, the sparkling sea is turned golden and dazzling.

A red sun, half-sunk on the horizontal plane, the halo was pulled into a cross shape.

Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi sat and chatted until sunset.

The setting sun reflected on them, pulling out two long shadows, sometimes intertwined.

By the time the two of them got home, it was already dark, and blue covered the island.

"I'm back." Izumi Kurose walked into the living room and said hello.

"Welcome back." Rinko looked at the two of them with a smile, "Went to the beach to play?" It's all sand. ”

"Well, I played in the water with Chiri and watched the sunset."

"Do you want to see the sunset...... It's really romantic, Yahiko once took me to see the sunrise, but that was a long time ago. ”

As Rinko spoke, her expression couldn't help but show nostalgia, and she was immersed in the good memories by herself.

Seeing this, Izumi Kurose led Chiren Shiraishi past her mother and took her to the bathroom to take a bath.

Of course, they are washed in turns, and if this is a home in Jimbocho, they will be washed together.

"I'll go get your clothes, and I'll put them in a basket for you, and put them at the door."

"Okay."

In this way, Shiraishi Chiren walked into the bathroom, and Izumi Kurose followed the aisle back to his room.

"Nothing has changed......

He looked at the Japanese room that was no different from him when he left, and sighed softly.

The room was very clean and everything was neatly arranged, the only difference was that the futon was turned into two.

When they went out to play in the afternoon, Rinko made a bed and thoughtfully let the two futons next to each other.

Looking at the two futons, Izumi Kurose smiled wryly, thinking that her mother was really worried, and they would sleep together if they didn't have to.

After all, Chiren Shiraishi is very pestering and coquettish, and she has to hug him tightly every night to fall asleep.

With this in mind, Izumi Kurose opened Chiren Shiraishi's suitcase, picked out a pair of casual clothes and underwear and put them in the clothes basket, and returned to the bathroom.

He put the basket at the door, and then shouted, "Qianlian, I have left my clothes at the door, you can wash them and take them up." ”

"Okay, I got it."

Accompanied by the sound of dripping water, Shiraishi Qianren's voice came out dimly.

Izumi Kurose, who got a response, went back to the living room and sat down.

Yahiko sat at the small wooden table, bored watching the TV while Rinko was busy in the kitchen.

This is an ordinary scene, and it is also a daily life that can no longer be dull.

But Izumi Kurose was very satisfied with this.

He doesn't need any ups and downs every day, he just needs to live every day with the people he wants to be with.

Every day, every year.

After a while, Shiraishi Qianren, who had taken a shower, walked out of the corner of the hallway, and walked into the living room with her hair wet.

"I'll take you to blow your hair." Izumi Kurose immediately stood up and led Shiraishi Chiren back to his room.

He asked Shiraishi to sit down first, while he stood behind him, holding a hair dryer and adjusting the temperature to the right level.

Then, reach out and pick up strands of soft, slightly scented hair and patiently blow dry.

Shiraishi Chiren inspected the enclosure room and said softly, "Is this Izumi's room?" It feels good. ”

"It's not bad, there's nothing, just simple furniture." Izumi Kurose smiled, "Aren't these things ordinary?" ”

"But this is the room of the spring, and it is full of the smell of the spring, so it is very reassuring."

"Chiri, are you a puppy? You can smell it. ”

Izumi Kurose smiled dumbly, thinking to himself how could this smell of him, and besides, what kind of smell was his smell?

Why can't he smell it?

"Wangwang." Shiraishi Chiren barked playfully, "I'm Izumi's puppy?" ”

“…… Don't be like this, I don't have such a fetish. ”

"I'm amusing you, but Izumi has a little hobby, and I'm not impossible."

"Nope!"

Izumi Kurose immediately vetoed it, how could he possibly treat the person he loves as a puppy?

He was reluctant to even say a heavy word to Shiraishi Qianlian.

"Izumi obviously likes the beast-eared cat lady, but he is not interested?"

"One yard is one yard, and when people are on top, they can't take what they say seriously."

"When you do that, it's also fake to say that you love me, shouldn't it be true?"

"Okay, don't make a fuss, your hair is dry, let's go to dinner together, mother and father are still waiting for us."

Izumi Kurose rubbed Chiren Shiraishi's head and gave her a knife as punishment for teasing her.

obviously understands his mind very well, but he still wants to say such things, is he deliberately trying to make him angry and let him punish him?

'My girlfriend, that's amazing......

Izumi Kurose couldn't help but shudder, remembering the appearance of Shiraishi Chiren every time they met.

Amorous, greedy, passionate, and crazy, as if trying to integrate him into the body.

Well, he's not much worse......

Back in the living room, Rinko had already brought out dinner and placed it on the table, waiting for them to eat.

Two people sat down, four people saluted, and then moved chopsticks.

At the dinner table, the family was happy, warm and happy.

Izumi Kurose brought Shiraishi Chiren home, in addition to proving his intentions, but also to make Shiraishi Chiren feel the warmth of family affection.

Although......

Shiraishi Chiri's parents don't care much about her, they always think that she is very strong and no one needs her.

Her father, who has also lived and settled abroad and has a new family, has not been back to Japan for several years.

Shiraishi's mother, who has also given up on Shiraishi Chiren, is just to the extent that every month she will meet for a meal.

They all invariably regard Shiraishi Chiren as an emotionless monster, and they don't have this daughter.

At that time, Izumi Kurose didn't know what to say, so he just listened silently.

In this matter, each other is at fault, and no one can be blamed unilaterally.

Shiraishi Chiri's indifference is wrong, and Shiraishi's parents are also wrong for unilaterally giving up and not teaching.

Whether they can reconcile in the end, Izumi Kurose doesn't know, but will try his best to give it a try.

Although he can't let the broken mirror reunite, after all, he already has his own life, but Izumi Kurose still wants Shiraishi Chiren to feel the warmth of the original family.

If it doesn't work out, then he will form a family with Chiren Shiraishi and be happy with her.

That's what Izumi Kurose can do.

He will prove his heart with deeds, not just words.

The future may be unknown, but the only thing Izumi Kurose can know is that in this life, he wants to marry Chiren Shiraishi and make her happy.

"Kochiren, can you tell me more about Koizumi in Tokyo?"

"Hmm...... That makes me think about it...... Izumi is very popular at school and is pursued by many girls. ”

"This, with his father, his father also had a lot of girls like it when he was young."

"Why did you get involved with me again......"

Yahiko, who was eating silently, muttered in a low voice, as if he was a little resistant to recalling the past.

After all, he is already in his forties, and now he always feels strange when he talks about the romantic past when he was young.

"Yahiko, I still remember that you confessed to me, and after you said that you liked me, you ran away, that was so interesting."

“……”

Yahiko lowered her head and remained silent.

And in Kurose Spring, next to him, he found that his father's face, which had been ruined by time, was a little red.

Izumi Kurose couldn't help but laugh.

"Qianlian, it's good if you just change your name to mother and father, we are all a family. Yes, Mother, Father. ”

"Yes, we're family."

Yahiko and Rinko nodded lightly and smiled.
