"I, of course I can't, I didn't like him at all, and now I hate him, I hate him!" As if to prove her words, Sakurai Ruiko retorted loudly.
"That's it..." the woman nodded, and then continued: "...Although I don't know what happened to Izumi-san, he has already planned to distance himself from you. If you really don't like him, you can do it now
…”
Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh.
Because Sakurai Ruiko's face was paler than ever.
She reached out her hand and slowly touched the girl's cold face. She murmured: "... Ruizi, you are very cute, really cute. It's impossible for Izumi-san not to be moved by you who are so cute and kind. But, he
But I have never accepted you... Do you really have no doubts at all?"
Sakurai Ruiko's eyes flashed.
Of course she was confused.
I wonder if I'm not attractive enough, I wonder if Izumi doesn't like her...
Of course, I had a little bit of doubt as to whether Toru Izumi had something hidden...
In fact, he is not as hateful and hateful as he appears on the surface.
Recently, this little bit of suspicion has become bigger...
"I'm going for a walk." As she said that, the woman turned around and prepared to go out.
Sakurai Ruiko subconsciously stood up.
"I'll accompany you..."
"You stay."
"I……"
"If you have already made a decision, then today may be the last chance to accompany him. I will also accept his proposal... Remember, today is the last chance..."
】
After specifically emphasizing this, the woman left the house.
Then, only Izumi Toru and Sakurai Ruiko were left in the Sakurai family.
【In the future, you are not allowed to do such things without my permission.】
【Since I don’t wear it, it’s useless to leave it to you.】
【You are so ridiculously stupid!】
What Izumi Toru said to her recently echoed in her ears, and her mind recalled Izumi Toru's behavior of pushing her away even though she did that...
Izumi Toru, you should be a complete villain and trample everything I have into the mud.
You shouldn't be like this...
Not appropriate……
She stared fiercely at Izumi Tetsu's frowning brows while he was sleeping, and felt a heartache that only she should not feel.
【Today is the last chance.】
The woman's deliberately emphasized words when parting, as well as the deliberately left world for the two of her, seemed to be reminding her of something.
All kinds of information were swirling in her mind, and the girl just stared at her sleeping face.
After a long time, Sakurai Ruiko finally made a move.
She slowly reached out her hand and touched his face.
The familiar touch on her fingertips reminded her of the time she spent alone with him in Qingshui Residence. Things that were so long ago that she thought she had forgotten them slowly emerged from the depths of her mind.
Only then did Sakurai Ruiko realize that she had always kept that memory in her heart and had never forgotten it.
After all, that was the first time she was praised for being cute, and the first time she liked someone...
"Izumi Toru, I don't do this kind of thing because I like you...I, I have to take her place..."
Sakurai Ruiko found a reason for what she was going to do next.
Suddenly, Izumi Toru had a dream.
In the dream, there was a tenderness like water surrounding him.
This real dream made it difficult for him to wake up, and he didn't want to wake up, so he simply let the dream continue like this.
Until there was a cry of pain.
Opening her eyes, Sakurai Ruiko was looking at him with tears in the corners of her eyes, her brows furrowed.
The girl's originally rosy face was now a little pale.
When she saw him waking up, she immediately turned her face to the side.
Izumi Toru was silent for a while before reaching out his hand and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Sakurai Ruiko waited for him to finish doing this before letting out a "hum".
"Izumi Toru, don't think that you can trick me into liking you again by doing this, hey! I... will never be fooled! You are a complete pervert!"
In the middle of speaking, for some reason, the girl took a breath of air.
Izumi Toru didn't ask her why she did this.
Whatever the reason, things are irreversible.
"Sakurai, you are so stupid."
"I don't want you to say that...wait, what are you doing?!"
"Don't talk, just leave it to me. Sometimes things in comics are not real, let me teach you."
"You, you have really changed!"
The emotions provoked by Sakurai Naoko at the door had been suppressed, but now they were aroused by her again.
Sakurai Ruiko was swallowed up by the flames.
Click!
The slight sound of the door opening failed to catch the attention of the two people in the living room.
As soon as the woman stepped through the door, she heard Sakurai Ruiko crying Izumi Toru's name.
She hesitated.
Isn't it a good idea to go in now?
hold on?
However, it has obviously been a long time.
…
"Izumi Toru, even so, don't think that I like you. I hate you, the most disgusting thing. You did such an excessive thing to me, and I will never forgive you."
"I don't want you to like me. On the contrary, it makes me more satisfied to say that you don't like me but are committed to me."
"He is indeed a pervert."
"I do not deny."
The two people on the sofa hugged each other tightly like lovers, whispering these words together.
"The bath water has been put out."
The sudden sound made the two of them stunned for a moment.
The next moment, Sakurai Ruiko desperately broke away from Izumi Toru's arms.
She lay on her side on the sofa, curled up and covering her face with her hands, as if she could not be seen in this way.
Izumi Toru looked towards the source of the sound. There was no dissatisfaction on the woman's face, but a relaxed smile as if she was relieved.
This made him guess something.
Did she say something to Sakurai Ruiko?
So, he slowly walked towards her.
Seeing that he was coming with such force, the woman subconsciously took two steps back.
"Izumi-san, you..."
Izumi Toru grabbed her slender wrist.
"Rub my back."
"……Um."
The woman breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought I would be punished by him...
After all, what he did was equivalent to pushing him back to the position of a bad guy.
But, otherwise, Leizi would never be able to get out...
"And," Izumi Toru put his lips to her ear and whispered.
This made her face suddenly turn red.
Oral reasons or something...
Really, really ridiculous...
"……yes."
She replied respectfully.
After a while, Sakurai Ruiko finally recovered from her ostrich state.
She first raised her head cautiously, glanced at the living room, and found that no one was there, then she quietly picked up her clothes and put them on.
As she was getting dressed, the girl frowned.
When he stood up, he almost fell down.
Fortunately, she was holding on to the sofa and survived.
At this time, there was a faint sound coming from the bathroom.
The girl suddenly looked at the ajar door of the bathroom.
After struggling in her heart for a long time, she walked over cautiously.
Now that I have decided to become a substitute, I must not let her suffer anymore...
The girl mentally found a reason for herself.
squeak--
The bathroom door was pushed open by Sakurai Ruiko.
Izumi Tetsu looked up at the incandescent lamp above his head, in a daze.
He heard the door open but did not turn around to look.
"...I, I'll come...but, is it okay?"
The girl asked in a trembling voice.
The woman raised her head and asked Izumi Tetsu with her eyes.
The latter pulled Sakurai Ruiko to his side, but did not let anyone leave.
