The fireworks display ended, and the six people regrouped.

Then, they said goodbye to each other and went home in three groups.

On the way home, street lamps stretch on both sides of the street, as if leading to the end of the world.

"Did you have fun today?"

"Well, happy."

"That's good......"

Along the way, the two chatted about meaningless trivial matters, and the topic was dispensable.

For them, it's not what they talk about, it's the time they spend together.

Even if they don't speak, just quietly hold hands and walk, it's all beautiful.

"That...... A thousand pity. Suddenly, Izumi Kurose stopped.

He looked at Shiraishi Qianlian, who had also stopped and looked at him with some doubts, and scratched his head, still not knowing how to speak.

So, Shiraishi Chiren waited patiently.

As the minutes ticked by, Izumi Kurose looked more and more distressed, and the movements of scratching his head became more and more violent.

Finally, at some point, he spoke: "It's the ring, can you lend it to me first?" ”

"Yes, you can." Shiraishi Chiren nodded slightly, took out the small box containing the ring, and handed it over.

She didn't ask Izumi Kurose what she wanted the ring for, and she wasn't curious.

Izumi Kurose took the box, opened it in front of Chiren Shiraishi, and took out the ring.

Then, under the light of the bright white street lamp, he knelt down on one knee and held the ring in front of Shiraishi Qianlian.

"Izumi ......"

Seeing this, Shiraishi Chiren covered Sakura's lips with two small hands, but he didn't expect him to do this.

Izumi Kurose hurriedly explained, "It's not a marriage proposal, it's just a simulation!" All of a sudden, I wanted to do it. ”

"Is that so......"

Shiraishi Muttered to herself, not caring if it was true or not, just simply surprised that he would do it.

"That...... From now on, please advise me as well. ”

Izumi Kurose blushed, grabbed Shiraishi Chiren's tender little hand, and slowly slipped the ring into her ring finger.

Slowly, but firmly.

Shiraishi Qianren looked at the ring on her ring finger, which shone with a silvery sheen against the backdrop of the street lamp.

At that moment, her heart was filled with happiness, and her face involuntarily smiled like a flower.

“…… The little girl is not talented, please advise me more in the future. ”

——

September 1st, the first week of the second semester, the first day.

This morning, I spent most of my time getting new books, listening to the teacher talk about my goals for the new semester, and then a lot of miscellaneous matters.

However, compared to the entrance test in the new semester, everyone is looking forward to the campus festival to be held in a month.

After half a month, they can start to decide what they want to do and start preparing.

"Campus Festival, ......"

Sitting at the birch table in the room of the Animal Research Department, Izumi Kurose looked out the window, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

The plan of their research department has almost been done, and it is about to come to an end.

Probably, there will be half a month to finish, right?

The script has already been written, and the CG is almost the same, but there are still two or three pieces missing.

As for the script and music, Shiraishi Chiren has already completed it, just waiting for it to be perfected and polished!

Shiraishi Qianren on the side heard his muttering, and laughed and teased: "Hmph, Izumi won't be thinking about anything lustful, right?" ”

"What, what do you mean by lustful things!"

"Huh? It's a maid café or something, so you're interested, right? ”

"This ......"

Izumi Kurose couldn't refute it for a while.

However, can the matter of opening a maid café be considered lustful?!

This is a man's romance!

"Hey, Kurose-senpai is really bad......"

Inari Xue's eyes showed a little disgust.

This kind of dislike, if you put it on a young girl with a special hobby, such as Hirasawa Matake, may feel that it is a reward.

But—he's not Izumi Kurose.

He exclaimed dissatisfiedly, "Hey, what kind of eyes are you! Is this the look you should show to your seniors?! ”

Shiraishi Qianren shook his head and sighed lightly: "Izumi is really bad, compared to the cute junior." ”

"I ...... Okay. ”

Adhering to the principle that good men don't fight with women, Izumi Kurose snorted.

Defeated.

"That's it, Kurose-senpai, you're going to be hated like this, right?"

"It's okay if Qianren likes me, no one else matters."

"Whew-"

Today's Animal Research Department is still filled with the sour smell of love.

- Inari Xue thought in her heart.

After the lunch break, the three of them went back to the classroom.

Afternoon class, as always.

That's what it's like to go to school every day.

After school, club activities are also carried out as usual.

Drinking tea, drawing, writing scripts – that's their daily routine.

Occasionally, they also set aside a day for snacks, reading, and relaxing.

This is the daily life of the Animal Research Department.

And what is the daily life between Izumi Kurose and Chiren Shiraishi?

"See you tomorrow."

At the school gate, the three waved goodbye.

Then, Shiraishi Chiren grabbed Izumi Kurose's hand before he could take his hand.

Suddenly, a softness spread out from Izumi Kurose's arm.

He felt that his hand was about to sink into Shiraishi's chest.

"You've been enjoying this lately."

"Izumi doesn't like it?"

“…… I like it. ”

Izumi Kurose's empty hand unconsciously scratched his head to hide the wavering in his heart.

Honestly, it's a lot better than when you hold hands.

- because it's really cool.

Besides, things like fingers interlocking, they do it every night.

Specifically, it is to applaud love.

"Hmph, Izumi's mind is so easy to understand, you can know what you're thinking just by looking at it."

Shiraishi Qianren chuckled, and then said, "Obviously, there is a clearer touch than this every night, but it is still so innocent? ”

"One yard to one yard." Izumi Kurose's tone was full of helplessness, "Chire, after being with you, every day feels like a period of love, and I've always been excited. ”

Hearing this, Shiraishi Qianren paused for a moment.

Immediately, she lowered her head and said in a voice like a mosquito: "...... Stupid Spring, it's too cunning to say such a thing. ”

"Qianlian, you will also show such a cute expression."

"What does that mean—I wasn't cute before?"

"Here you go again, trying to trick me again......"

Facing the slightly yellowed sky, the two affectionately held hands and flirted.

Hop on the train and head back to Jimbocho, where they walk into a mall and pick up ingredients for dinner.

"Izumi, what would you like to eat tonight?"

"Whatever, I like to eat whatever you make."

"It's casual again, why don't you have any opinions?"

"Because what you make is delicious, it doesn't matter what you eat."

Every day, they are always obsessed with what to eat at night and what to do tomorrow's lunch box.

Whenever Shiraishi asked, Izumi Kurose always smiled and said casually.

That's how the two of them go on a day-to-day basis.

Although it is a little bland, it is full of happiness and warmth.
