Afternoon, book research department.

Izumi Himetsu is pouring tea for Izumi Toru.

"Are you there at noon today?"

Suddenly hearing these words, Izumi Jiyue's hands shook and the tea spilled on the table.

The girl hurriedly took out her handkerchief and started wiping the table.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Izumi, I..."

Izumi Toru grabbed her hand.

"My question hasn't been answered yet."

Izumi Jiyue cautiously glanced at the two women on the other side of the sofa, and then whispered back: "...Hmm."

"So, you soiled the half moon? Lost it?"

The girl's face turned red immediately.

"...No, it's not lost...it's in the bag..."

A low murmur that was almost mournful came from Izumi Jiyue's mouth, and she was so shy that she could hardly stand still.

Izumi Toru let go of her hand.

"Let's make another pot of tea."

"yes."

The girl walked cautiously, fearing that Jinguji Kiyohime and Igarashi Mika would notice her skirt rising up.

Izumi Toru frowned.

The skirt is too short.

Should we modify the school rules and make the skirts longer?

Let's discuss it with Igarashi Mika.

winter!

winter!

winter!

Someone knocked on the club's door again.

However, since Izumi Toru became the vice president, everyone has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

Izumi Jiyue ran to the door and opened it.

Standing outside the door was Yin Teng Naoki, who often comes here.

"I'm looking for the president."

"Please come in."

The girl nodded, waited for him to enter, and closed the door.

Then, she poured the freshly brewed tea for Naoki Into, then walked to stand in front of Izumi Tetsu.

After a while, her breathing suddenly stopped.

She lowered her head and glanced at Izumi Toru, who seemed like nothing had happened. She bit her lip and tried her best to maintain her standing posture.

The mist in the girl's eyes became thicker and thicker.

I don’t know what Naoki Into said to Mika Igarashi. Mika Igarashi suddenly stood up and walked towards Izumi Toru.

Izumi Tetsu was shocked and immediately pulled his hand.

"Well!"

Izumi Jiyue suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Igarashi Mika frowned.

"What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

"It's just that I didn't eat at noon... Yes, I'm a little dizzy... Yes, I'm sorry..." Izumi Himetsu explained hesitantly.

Igarashi Mika narrowed her eyes.

It always feels weird.

Although she was a little suspicious of Izumi Tetsu's guilty conscience, she was too lazy to explore it now.

"Izumi Toru, a parent of a student suspects that her daughter may have been bullied at school. You need to deal with this matter."

Upon hearing this, Izumi Toru's expression immediately became serious.

"I'll go right away."

Before leaving, Jinguji Kiyohime gave him an advice, which surprised him.

"Izumi-kun, be happy."

Izumi Toru, who was confused, scratched his head and said, "Ah, okay, okay."

Jinguji Kiyohime smiled and waved goodbye to him.

Izumi Toru came to the reception room, saw the person coming, and understood everything instantly.

In the reception room, Naoko Sakurai sits quietly sideways. Just the side of her face can make people feel warm and virtuous.

At this moment, the woman's face was filled with sadness because she was worried about her daughter, and people couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

No wonder Igarashi Mika let him handle it without even thinking, no wonder Jinguji Kiyohime said that.

After all, you really have to resolve this matter yourself.

Sakurai Naoko heard footsteps coming from behind, turned around, and her eyes suddenly froze.

"W-Izumi-san?!"

"Miss Xuena, long time no see."

"Ah, yes, long time no see..." After greeting, Sakurai Naoko hesitated for a while, "...Izumi-san, today, I am here as Ruiko's mother, so, Miss Yukina and so on...

"

"It's just a title, Miss Xuena, don't think too much about it."

Naoko Sakurai was convinced.

She nodded heavily.

"That's right. It's just a title."

After convincing herself, she seemed to let go of something and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Izumi Toru sitting opposite her, she sat upright with some restraint, folded her legs and folded her hands on her legs.

Izumi Toru poured tea for her.

"Please use."

The woman held the tea cup in her hand and turned it slowly.

After a while, she spoke:

"Izumi-san."

"Um."

"Leiko has locked herself in her room for two days. Although she eats normally every day, she never goes to school, and she won't tell me what happened to her. If this continues, I'm very worried."

"Don't worry, Sakurai-san, you will be back to school in two days."

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Naoko's eyes lit up.

She put down the tea cup, stood up and grabbed Izumi Toru's hand.

"Does Izumi-san know what happened to Ruiko?"

"It should be said that it has something to do with me."

"Um?"

Sakurai Naoko was stunned for a moment.

"Anyway, don't worry, trust me." Izumi Toru patted her hand.

"Um."

Although she still didn't know what happened, her original worries dissipated a lot when she heard what he said.

Then, she realized something was wrong.

I just grabbed his hand out of desperation.

This is a school.
