"I feel bad all over." Toru Watanabe replied.

"If you feel uncomfortable, go get some tea. By the way, remember the maid's behavior. With Izu's experience, you should know what I'm talking about."

"...I don't want that kind of experience."

"Oh?" Miki Kujo lifted Toru Watanabe's chin with her hand, "Then the promise of 'I will wear whatever you wear' is no longer required."

"Your Highness Meiji, what do you want to drink?" Since they are all dressed up, Toru Watanabe cannot afford to lose.

Tonight, we must stay up all night!

Rin Kiyono finally got over her shyness and regained her composure. She turned around and looked at Toru Watanabe.

"Watanabe-san, you are very cute and beautiful." She put her hand on her chin and said with a smile.

"Qingye-san, if you wear it, it will definitely be more beautiful."

"Maybe, but I won't lose." Kiyono Rin's rare modesty shows how good-looking Toru Watanabe is in the maid outfit.

"What can't be lost? It's just using despicable means!"

"Is this the maid etiquette that Kujo-san talks about?" Kiyono Rin asked doubtfully.

"...Qing, Your Highness Qingye."

Qingye Rin smiled slightly, she was already very happy.

"Who told you to listen to her?" Miki Kujo said with a gloomy and delicate face.

"Am I not the first in the essay competition, Kujo-kun?" Rin Kiyono asked.

Both of them came first and shared the prize money of 200,000 yen equally. This shows that most of the so-called essay contests have shady secrets.

Rin Kiyono stopped paying attention to Miki Kujo, took the SLR camera and said to Toru Watanabe:

"Watanabe-san, could you please hold the tea tray?"

"I'm playing the role of a maid, not taking maid photos!"

"hurry up."

"Mei Ji..."

"As for photos, you can take them. I regretted not taking them with a professional camera last time."

"Miki!"

"Watanabe-san." Rin Kiyono handed the tea tray to Toru Watanabe.

Watanabe Toru took it tremblingly, and Kiyono Rin looked at him funny.

After surviving the difficult club time, the school departure bell rang.

"Watanabe-kun, I will post the photos in the group tonight, keep them well." Rin Kiyono put the camera in his schoolbag and prepared to leave first.

I don’t want to see Toru Watanabe changing clothes anymore; I still have a little bit of anticipation and want to go back early to enjoy the photos.

"Explain clearly, which group?" Toru Watanabe asked quickly.

If this happened to Watanabe Edae's family, it would be almost impossible for him to return to Iwate Prefecture in his lifetime.

""Kujo·Kyono·Watanabe""

These are five people from two generations of the Kujo family, the Kiyono family and Toru Watanabe.

"Can't the three of us alone create a "Human Observation Department" group?" Toru Watanabe said.

"No." Qingye Rin opened the sliding door and disappeared into the club classroom gracefully.

"Miki, your mother will definitely make fun of me." Toru Watanabe walked towards the sliding door, preparing to lock himself up and change clothes.

"With you, they won't make fun of me or Qingye anymore."

"Is this the real reason why you didn't stop her just now?!"

Watanabe Toru walked to the door, and at this moment, Saito Keisuke ran over.

"Watanabe, I'm here to get the script. I have to send it to Qian Qianzi today, let her read it, and then start drawing immediately...Pfft - what are you doing?"

"Preparing for the cultural festival."

"Now? It's only June!"

"Do you think that I won the first place in the country this semester? I have been studying seriously since the day I was born, so I got the first place in the country now. Do you understand? Do you know what I am talking about?"

"Only with sufficient preparation and sufficient diligence can you do something well?"

"No, what I mean is that if you dare to tell me, I will use my status as number one in the country to force the school to expel you."

After giving the failed light novel to Keisuke Saito, Toru Watanabe slammed the sliding door shut.

The next day, Kujo Miki didn't come to school.

No matter how much Toru Watanabe called her, she couldn't get up.

When Toru Watanabe walked into the classroom, Keisuke Saito immediately jumped over.

"Watanabe, your writing is so beautiful! I only planned to read a little bit last night and waited until today's club time to read it, but ended up reading it all."

"Really."

"I think it can definitely be animated!" Osamu Kunii agreed. "When the time comes, as the original author, you go to the recording studio, and you must bring me with you. By the way, remember that the heroine voice choice is Saori Hayami, and I imagined her throughout the whole process.

The sound is so cool.”

"Did you watch it too?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"I met him after school yesterday and he asked me for it, so I made a copy for him." Saito Keisuke said, "Is that okay?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Don't worry, there are some things I will say, and some things I will never say!"

"What's the matter?" Osamu Kunijing asked curiously.

"Saito recommended me girl games." Toru Watanabe said casually.

"You don't want to share it with me?!" Osamu Kunii put his arm around Keisuke Saito's shoulders, "It's a shame that I share the disc I bought late at night with you."

"Idiot, don't say that in the classroom!"

Seeing the disgusted looks in the eyes of the girls in the class, Toru Watanabe left the two of them and walked to his seat.

Without Kujo Miki, he tried not to talk to Kiyono Rin.

After school, the two of them read in the club classroom to pass the time.

"After school tomorrow, go directly to my house." Qingye Rin said midway.

"Your home?" Watanabe Toru raised his head.

"They want to celebrate our birthday." Qingye Rin didn't take his eyes off the book in his hand.

"Yeah." Toru Watanabe continued to watch "Heartbeat" - he bought the island version in Jimbocho, and when he had time, he bought the English version.

Compared with the noisy yesterday and the quiet harmony of the past, today's club classroom always has a hint of uneasiness.

This is the first time the two of them have been alone since returning from a family trip.

"What's on your mind?"

"Why do you say that?" Watanabe Toru raised his head again.

"Tell me." Qingye Rin closed the book and folded her arms gracefully, like a noble lady.

"Is this part of human observation?"

"That's right, let's talk."

Watanabe Tetsuya closed the book and rubbed the cover with his fingers.

"You know, I am determined to be with Mei Ji and the others."

"But you can't forget me?"

Watanabe Toru showed a bitter and helpless smile: "Yes, I have decided to be with them, but I can't forget you. Sometimes my happiness in front of them is just fake."

My eyes looked at the cover of "Thumping Heartbeat".

On the fig tree that should be sawed down, a man and a woman sat on the branches, enjoying the wind and sunshine, as well as the distant scenery.

"I have made up my mind, but when I am alone, I will question myself: 'If I can't pursue what I love, why do I have to live like this in my life? What is the purpose of doing this?', but in my heart I am unwilling to give up on them, saying it is my responsibility.

, but there is also love and greed.”

After a moment of silence, he continued: "I even feel that I am hypocritical and look down on myself."

Watanabe Toru moved his eyes away from the book and looked out the window.

The weather forecast says that the rainy season in Tokyo this year will start on June 8.

"Why do you think so?" Qingye Rin asked.

Before Toru Watanabe could speak, she continued: "Compared to them and me who have no burden, you are the one who has the hardest work."
