On both sides of the busy road, the street lights are already on.
After sending Shiraishi Jing home, Izumi Toru walked slowly on the sidewalk.
"Izumi?"
Suddenly, the voice of my friend Narumi Amakusa rang in my ears.
Izumi Toru was stunned for a moment, "Narumi? Why are you here?"
"I just had dinner with the minister," Amakusa Narumi simply explained, then looked in the direction behind Izumi Tetsu and asked doubtfully: "I remember your home is not in this direction, right?"
"Teacher Shiraishi drank alcohol and I felt uneasy, so I sent her home."
"Huh? Just wait a minute! What you just said contained too much information. Let me sort out my thoughts!"
Izumi Tetsu sighed helplessly, "Don't think about the problem with your brain that has been poisoned by light novels. Nothing happened."
"oh......"
Vaguely, he seemed to hear Amakusa Narumi's somewhat disappointed click of the tongue.
It must be an illusion, right?
Because his brain was overloaded today (referring to writing), Izumi Toru just wanted to go home and rest early.
then,
He then said to his friend: "It's getting late, I'm going home first. You, too, go home early to avoid being scolded by Mei Yi."
"...Oh," Amakusa Narumi nodded subconsciously, then suddenly thought of something, and quickly grabbed Izumi Toru, "Izumi, wait, don't leave yet!"
"What's the matter?"
"Today, come and stay at my house!"
Izumi Toru narrowed his eyes, "What's the intention?"
Amakusa Narumi turned her head, averted his gaze, and hesitated: "Well... my bed is quite big..."
Izumi Toru suddenly smelled the smell of alcohol from his friend, which made him frown.
"you've been drinking?"
Amakusa Narumi's face froze.
"Ahem, I should say, I accidentally smelled of alcohol or something..."
"Underage people are not allowed to drink... Wait, you want me to cover for you? Be an accomplice?"
"Hug, sorry."
Seeing his friend's depressed look, Izumi Toru sighed.
"Let's go to your house."
Hearing these words, Amakusa Narumi raised his head in surprise.
"Izumi! I love you!"
"I'm sorry, I don't love you." Izumi Toru took two steps back, then put his hand on his friend's face, "Also, don't pounce on me, you will smell of alcohol on your body."
"......oh."
"Why don't you go home and hang out here just to get rid of the smell of alcohol?"
Amakusa Narumi gave him a thumbs up, "As expected of Sherlock Holmes from Chiyo-ku!"
"Do I still have this setting?"
"Anyway, it helped a lot."
Izumi Toru threw his schoolbag to him, "As a reward, please carry it for me."
Amakusa Narumi happily hugged Izumi Toru's schoolbag and followed him.
.
"I'm back."
Amakusa Narumi opened the door and met Amakusa Mei in pink home clothes.
"Welcome back...wait! Why is this guy here?!" Amakusa Meiyi pointed at Izumi Tetsu and asked loudly.
[Amakusa Mei is in a happy mood at the moment]
"Narumi was drunk, and he was afraid of being beaten, so he dragged me back to help cover him. That's probably the reason."
Izumi Toru sold out his friend at the first word.
Amakusa Narumi: Meow meow meow?
Amakusa Meiyi looked at her brother with an extremely dangerous expression.
"oh?!"
As if something suddenly occurred to him, Izumi Toru clapped his hands vigorously, "Ah, by the way, Mei, I almost forgot something important!"
"What?"
"Long time no see, you are just as cute today."
"Ha?! What, what! We just met two days ago! Huh! It's disgusting to say such things! Come in!"
Throwing Izumi Tetsu's usual slippers on the ground, the girl hummed and stomped back to the bedroom.
However, the girl seems to have forgotten that her brother violated the prohibition on drinking alcohol.
Amakusa Narumi scratched his head and murmured: "No, won't you beat me?"
"If I really want to, I can't call Mei Yi back."
"Please save my life!"
"Tell me the reason for drinking today."
"Huh? It's just a boy's curiosity about wine... something like that..."
Amakusa Narumi's voice became lower and lower, because his friend's eyes told him that his lie was too clumsy.
Izumi Tetsu sighed heavily, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. Do you still have Coke?"
"Oh, that...is in the refrigerator."
"I'll get it myself."
"Um."
Looking at his friend's back, Amakusa Narumi pursed his lips.
"Narumi, take out your PS, there's still some time before bed anyway. Let's play some games in the living room."
Izumi Toru's voice came from the living room, and Amakusa Narumi, who had recovered his senses, quickly responded, "Okay!"
They connected the PS console to the TV in the living room, found a two-player game, and started.
However, Amakusa Narumi, who usually yelled "Izumi, save me!", was unusually quiet today. Even though he made many mistakes, he still didn't say a word.
Izumi Toru just pretended not to notice, just looking at the screen and controlling his character.
...
"Actually, someone confessed my love to me today."
Izumi Toru's movements stopped.
He turned his head, looked at his friend who finally spoke, and asked, "Want to talk?"
Amakusa Narumi put down the game controller and grabbed his hair hard, as if he was venting something.
"There's nothing you can't say!"
"Then, let Sherlock Holmes from Chiyo Ward help you analyze it?"
"Does Sherlock Holmes care about this?" Amakusa Narumi was a little stunned.
"As a detective, if you pay me, you'll take care of everything!"
"That's true."
After drinking the rest of the Coke, Izumi wrapped the two game controllers and put them in the box, then sat cross-legged on the blanket, "Go on, I'm all ears."
"Today when I was training, she suddenly came to me and said that she has liked me for a long time and wanted to date me." Speaking of this, Amakusa Narumi sighed deeply.
"The Amakusa Narumi I know always rejects the confessions of three-dimensional girls by saying that they are separated by dimensions. Seeing how confused you are, is there anything different about this girl?"
"She is the minister's sister."
Izumi Tetsu was stunned for a moment, then frowned.
"It's a bit difficult to deal with now. Although I won't hide you again, there's no guarantee that other problems won't arise."
Amakusa Narumi smiled bitterly, "It's more than that."
"Um?"
"She is that girl."
"Which one?"
"Who else could it be?"
An idea flashed through Izumi Tetsu's mind.
"Could it be...the one who goes to the toilet?"
Amakusa Narumi was silent for a while, then nodded, "Yes."
"Pfft, cough, cough!" Izumi couldn't help laughing, and Izumi quickly put the back of his hand against his lips and coughed twice.
Amakusa Narumi looked at him with innocent and pitiful eyes and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
"Well...your minister should be aware of this matter."
"Yes, so you came to me for a drink and asked me not to be too stressed," said Amakusa Narumi, rubbing his face, "How can I not be stressed!"
"Sorry, I can't help you."
"ha?"
"Other girls can do it, but not this one."
"Why? Holmes!"
"Watson, I have a commission to come to your door. So, I'm sorry!"
After saying that, Izumi Tetsuu made a gesture of wearing a hat, stood up and left the living room.
The reason why he gave up the conversation was firstly because Izumi Toru really wanted Amakusa Narumi to solve this problem by himself, and also because his request had indeed arrived.
