June 6th, Friday, was a sunny day, but the weather forecast in the morning was all about the coming rainy season.

Toru Watanabe entered Class 4 of the second year, and most of them had already started working hard for the final exam.

Kujo Miki was lying on the [pillow], staring boredly at Rin Kiyono who was sitting upright and reading a book. From the corner of her eye, she noticed Toru Watanabe coming in and stared at him again.

Watch him come over, watch him sit down in front of you.

She stood up and held her chin with her ringed hand: "Were you happy last night?"

"Happy?" Toru Watanabe's eyes were attracted by "the red gemstone of the ring, her slender fingers, and the fair profile of her face".

"Those two women didn't celebrate your birthday in advance?" Kujo Miki asked with a smile.

"We had a meal together and enjoyed high-end fruits. We chatted afterwards and received a birthday gift from Mr. Koizumi, a water bottle bought from Osaka."

"Mai and Aina Koizumi together tomorrow?"

"Um."

"They are quite open-minded." Kujo Miki sneered.

Watanabe Toru reached out and held one of her hands: "We are all very grateful to you."

"We?" Kujo Miki repeated the word.

She withdrew her hand, pointed at Toru Watanabe, and then pointed at herself: "You and I are the only two of us. You and I are a couple and a family. Do you understand?"

"Kujo-san," Rin Kiyono said while looking at the book, "If you want to always beat me, you can't be so strong. Why not be more submissive?"

"Kyono-kun, I just have a question for you - you have obviously lost, why didn't you say to Tohru: 'Be with me, and I will allow you to date them'?"

"Because I am a strong person," Qingye Rin turned his head and looked at Kujo Miki, "I am stronger than the three of you, and I don't need to accommodate anyone."

"How can a defeated dog speak so confidently?" Miki Kujo asked doubtfully.

Then, she suddenly said "ah" in realization - full of ridicule and condescension: "Is it because I am too confident that I become a loser?"

Rin Kiyono's cold and beautiful eyes were fixed on Kujo Miki.

Kujo Miki looked down at her charming eyes and looked back without any sign of weakness.

"Today is Qingye-san's birthday..."

"You speak for her?" Miki Kujo turned her gaze to Toru Watanabe.

"Do you think I need to rely on my birthday to get her to show mercy?" Rin Kiyono glared at Toru Watanabe.

"...I'm just trying to break up the fight."

It was the arrival of Koizumi Aina again who saved Toru Watanabe. She wore emerald earrings on her earlobes.

During the lunch break, Ichimoku Aoi took advantage of the time when the two eldest ladies went to the club and secretly asked Toru Watanabe.

"Watanabe-kun, you talked about Mai-senpai this morning. What happened?"

"She lives in the same apartment as me and Mr. Koizumi. We had dinner at Mr. Koizumi's house last night, along with Akiko, the English teacher from the second class, and Mr. Miyazaki from the infirmary."

"What about 'allowing you to associate with them'?"

"Mei Ji said angrily out of jealousy."

"That's it." Ichimoku Aoi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go to the instrumental club, thank you Watanabe-kun."

After briefly speaking, she rushed out of the classroom, her pleated skirt bouncing on her legs, her short hair flying, and she ran to catch up with the members of the four-class musical instrument club who were leaving as soon as get out of class started.

Tetsu Watanabe and Keisuke Saito gathered together.

"What did Kazuki-kun tell you just now?" Osamu Kunii clasped his hands behind his head.

"Do you still like her?" the monitor asked.

"I don't like it, I'm just a little concerned about it, so I want to ask."

"Don't worry," Toru Watanabe said, "Ichiki came to me to ask about Mai-senpai."

"Hey, Kunii," Saito Keisuke bumped Osamu Kunii with his body, making him unable to keep his handsome posture with his hands behind his head, "Ichimoku Aoi is much more affectionate than you. I have liked you since junior high school until now.

Totally unworthy of her."

"Agree." Watanabe Toru nodded.

"Agree." The monitor said, pushing up his glasses.

"Hmph." Osamu Kunii had nothing to say and said angrily: "Just wait and see! When I reach the Koshien finals this year, I will definitely be more popular than this guy Watanabe!"

"Let alone reaching the finals, even if you win the Koshien championship or a hundred championships, you still won't be more popular than Watanabe." Saito Keisuke put his hand on Kunii Osamu's right shoulder.

"Reality is reality, consciousness is consciousness, reality determines consciousness, not consciousness determines reality, give up." The squad leader put his arm on his left shoulder.

"What kind of philosophy is this?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"Are you interested?" The squad leader immediately let go of Osamu Kunijing and turned his head, "Material determines consciousness. This is the dominant idea of ​​today's materialism. It is divided into macro and micro aspects..."

The three of them were eating and taking the squad leader's philosophy class.

After school, Toru Watanabe and Rin Kiyono took Miki Kujo's car and headed to the palace villa standing on Tokyo Bay.

"I thought there would be a large group of people in formal clothes waiting for us." Toru Watanabe said as he walked into the spacious and bright living room.

"You're talking about my birthday when I was five or six years old." Qingye Rin replied.

Watanabe Toru guessed that it was because she disliked birthdays like Asuka Mai, or because she hated lying people and situations.

"Rin, Miki, Watanabe-kun!" Mrs. Kiyono, who was wearing a characterful black dress, said to the three of them, "Go and change quickly!"

"Do I want to change too?" Toru Watanabe asked.

"Of course, you are my son. There is also your room and your own wardrobe in this house. Come on."

That's not what Toru Watanabe wanted to ask, but no matter what the question was, it seemed that he had to change clothes.

The servant led him into a room, right across from Rin Kiyono and Miki Kujo's room.

The layout of the room and the various styles of clothes in the wardrobe were all prepared for him - if it hadn't been for the lack of formal household registration, Toru Watanabe would have believed that Mrs. Kiyono would have given him a share of the Kiyono family.

He was the only one who only changed clothes, while the other two eldest ladies went to take a shower.

Watanabe Toru came downstairs wearing a light suit and dress with his hands in his pockets.

Shi Shiran's pace, his handsome face, and his every move full of confidence. Based on these alone, the servants identified him as the young master.

The two ladies looked at Toru Watanabe with admiration.

Looking at him, Mrs. Kiyono thought to herself that if twins were really born back then and Kiyono Rin had an older brother or younger brother, then her son should be in the same situation when he comes down the stairs now.

Thinking of her daughter, she couldn't help but said to Toru Watanabe who walked in:

"Watanabe-kun, I wish you were really my son."

"Watanabe-kun is the one who is going to be my son, you can't take him away from me." Mrs. Kujo, who was wearing a red dress and showing her beautiful shoulders, said with a smile.

Mrs. Qingye didn't mean that, but she didn't want to reveal too much emotion, so she was going to follow her words and continue joking.

Just when she was about to speak, Toru Watanabe suddenly said: "Rin Kiyono is already amazing enough."

Mrs. Qingye looked at him, and she didn't expect that a young man she had never met a few times could immediately guess the meaning of what she just said.

She wasn't going to take Mrs. Kujo's joke anymore.

"What's so great about it?" she asked with interest.

"When I first met Kiyono Rin, I, like most people, felt that if she didn't lie, hated people who lied, and didn't associate with people who lied, she must have something wrong with her head."

"What now?" Mrs. Kiyono glanced behind Tetsu Watanabe and continued to ask.

"Now..." Toru Watanabe took a glass of juice from the long table filled with food and cakes, "No one can be more amazing than her, or better than her, in my heart."

"Is it because of appearance?" Mrs. Kujo said.

"Of course her appearance is outstanding and she is as beautiful as Miki, but that is not the point. My first impressions of Miki and Kiyono Rin are all negative."

Toru Watanabe continued:

"Those businessmen who happen to seize the opportunity and make a fortune are respected more because of their wealth than their own qualities; once the opportunity is not seized, or the wealth is squandered, they are like the homeless people passing by on the roadside.

, In fact, there is no difference. I don’t think these people are outstanding or amazing.”

"Qingye Rin is different. You don't approve of her actions, and you even think it's stupid. But no matter what, sooner or later, you will marvel at her determination and admire her persistence. She will impress you and capture you."

After finishing a long speech, Toru Watanabe took a sip of juice.

"She is not as good as you said." Mrs. Kiyono looked at Toru Watanabe faintly and said something as if she was speaking to Toru Watanabe or to the people behind him, "You may not know, in the

In the circle we live in, she is the most unpopular person. As long as you go out for a walk, you can hear a lot of rumors about her, and even the servants ostracize her behind her back."

"That kind of thing," Toru Watanabe smiled, "actually, it's fine no matter what."

"Huh?" Both ladies looked confused.

"Since Qingye Rin was sixteen years old, to be precise, since she was fifteen years old," he said, "I have been staying with her until her seventeenth birthday today. I don't need to learn about her from others at all. On the contrary, I

Those people should come to me and ask me for information about her."

"If you don't understand the law and leak my information without authorization, I can ask a lawyer to educate you on the law." Qingye Rin's voice came from behind.
