"thorough."

"thorough."

She whispered Izumi Tetsu's name over and over again, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Finally, tired of shouting, the girl finally stopped.

She gently grabbed his arm around her neck, lowered her head, and rubbed it.

"You have to be responsible for me..."

After saying that, she curled up, just like she did in Qingshui Residence, trying to treat herself as a dumb pillow.

but……

"Um."

Izumi Tetsu's murmur sounded like thunder in the depths of her soul, and the girl couldn't think anymore.

…

Sakurai Ruiko quietly closed the door of Izumi Toru's room and prepared to leave quietly.

But when she turned around, her heart immediately picked up.

Jinguji Kiyohime was standing not far away, looking at her calmly.

"It's not...that...I..."

Sakurai Ruiko wanted to cover up the past, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say them out.

Jinguji Kiyohime's eyes seemed to be able to tear through all her disguises and look straight into her heart. She didn't even dare to look directly into those amber eyes.

"Eh? Sakurai, where were you yesterday?" At this time, Ninomiya Koyuki passed by after breakfast, looked at Sakurai Ruiko, and asked curiously.

Sakurai Ruiko broke into cold sweat immediately.

"Sakurai-san, you were in my room yesterday."

"oh……"

Because the relationship between Jinguji Kiyohime and Sakurai Ruiko seemed to have eased a lot recently, Ninomiya Koyuki did not doubt Jinguji Kiyohime's words.

She waved goodbye to the two of them and ran towards the room in bounding motion.

Today, if I want to go shopping with that idiot, I have to change into a beautiful dress.

Jinguji Kiyohime's eyes moved away from Ninomiya Koyuki's cheerful back and fell on Sakurai Ruiko.

"Sakurai-san."

Sakurai Ruiko's body trembled.

"Um."

"Next time, you have to be careful. Otherwise, if you are discovered, the prestige of the disciplinary committee will be gone."

When Jinguji Kiyohime said this, Sakurai Ruiko felt ashamed and aggrieved.

What makes me ashamed is that I think I am the most observant of the rules, but I need her help to cover up the fact that I violated the school rules.

What's aggrieved is that it's all the fault of that guy Izumi Toru.

You have to hold yourself to sleep, otherwise how could you be exposed if you come out early...

The girl deliberately ignored the fact that she was nostalgic for that warm embrace and did not want to get up.

Seeing her lowering her head and not responding, Jinguji Kiyohime didn't care. Instead, she passed her, took out the key, and opened Izumi Toru's door.

Click!

"Thank you~"

At the same time as the sound of the door opening, there was also the weak voice of thanks from the girl behind him.

Jinguji Kiyohime couldn't help but smile brightly.

"As long as you like Izumi-kun, there's no need to say thank you, Sakurai-san."

Sakurai Ruiko suddenly blushed.

She moved her lips, wanting to refute, but she couldn't.

So, shy, she ran away.

Sakurai Ruiko couldn't hear the last words Jinguji Kiyohime said while looking at her back.
