The sound of ticking footsteps echoed in the empty corridor again.

But this time, Aiba Chiho is in front and Takitani is in the back.

The girl with her head slightly lowered her head was almost trotting forward, her legs moving fast.

Ai Takitani seemed to notice something, and regardless of the pair of high heels under her feet, he quickly ran a few steps and reached out to grab Chiho's wrist.

"Chanhoe-chan?"

Ai Takitani frowned and grabbed her.

Aiba Chiho also paused, and slid forward slightly along the very smooth corridor.

Ai Takitani seemed afraid of her blow, and held the girl's face with concern: "It's okay, this blackmail clause facing newcomers is very common in any industry, and it is not worth living..."

As I was talking, I picked it up and saw the girl grinning with a happy smile on her face.

"Guhehehe~"

The laughter is still eccentric.

“Eh?”

Ai Takitani, who kept trying to inspire the girl, was stunned, and then reacted and complained in anger:

"You really are! Do you want to worry me so much?"

Aiba Chiho raised his cell phone like nothing happened and typing with a smile:

【It doesn’t matter! Love sister!】

[I am not a child anymore, and I have encountered failures before!]

[To be honest, after hearing that Nagasawa's office is the company of Miss Eucaly Nagasawa, I was a little doubtful if such a big shot could like my song.]

【really!】

When she finished writing, Chiho Aiba still waved her fist with anger, as if to show her dissatisfaction with this bad exploitation.

Seeing her appearance, Takitani Ai blinked invisibly, and then she made another look of teaching her a lesson, stretching her fingers to the girl's forehead:

"You! Why are you always so confident in your own lack of confidence?"

"Can't you think about the benefits?"

Aiba Chiho wrote jokingly with a proud move of raising his chin.

[Only when it comes to not having confidence in myself, I dare to call it the best in the world!]

"Puff~"

Ai Takitani seemed to be amused by her funny appearance and said angrily: "I'm a little confident in myself, you kid!"

After singing and reconciling, neither of them seemed to have mentioned the incident just now and walked out of the building with a giggle.

After the meeting ended, it was noon and it was time to have dinner.

Ai Takitani originally wanted to take Chiho to a small restaurant outside for a meal, so she called a taxi on the side of the road and planned to take Chiho to the izakaya she usually likes to go with President Hamaoka.

"Hello, let's go..."

But when she was just sitting firmly in the taxi co-pilot and was about to say the target, Ai Takitani, who accidentally raised her head, happened to catch a glimpse of a scene in the rearview mirror.

——Chanho Aiba sat alone in the back seat, her long waist-length hair drooping from the side of her shoulders, along with gravity. Her face, which was just now, suddenly lost its expression. Her eyes seemed to be a little red because of staying up late, and her eyes were looking at the ground with a gloomy gloom, her lips tightly pursed, and a little white.

Ai Takitani's eyes seemed to be frozen for a moment.

"Hello, where can I go?"

The elderly and energetic driver asked loudly, waking up Takitani Ai who accidentally fell into silence.

At the same time, it also made Chiho Aiba, who was weak and bowed his head suddenly react and quickly adjusted his expression.

"Go...well, go to the University of Tokyo, the main campus."

Ai Takitani's voice paused for a moment, but immediately responded.

"Okay."

The elderly driver did not hesitate at all. Decades of driving experience had already made him imprint the map of the entire Tokyo city into his mind.

On the contrary, Aiba Chiho, who was sitting in the back seat, was stunned when he heard this, and seemed to be unresponsive, "Ah, ah?" called a few times and raised his phone in the direction of Ai Takitani.

【Ai Sister? Are we not going back?】

【What are you doing at Dongda University?】

She seemed to have expected something and asked a little nervously.

Ai Takitani could guess what Chiho wanted to ask without looking back. He clasped his hands with a little apology and said, "I'm sorry, Chihoe Jiang! President Hamakaro suddenly had something to come to me, but I was not very relieved to put you home. You don't eat at home every time!"

"So let Iori have dinner with you!"

"Anyway, that guy is probably alone, so there is definitely nothing wrong."

“Woohhh?!”

Aiba Chiho was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that Miss Takiya didn't know the situation of the Crystal Palace fighting in Iori's house, and suddenly stopped.

Since Iori Jun didn't tell Sister Ai, what she said should be a bit too much.

But if it goes straight through like this...

【At least!】

[At least ask Shiina Jun first!]

It seemed to be for emphasis that the girl posted two in a row.

The expression is very firm.

“Yes, yes~”

But Ai Takiya seemed to be indifferent, and Didi was sending messages on her phone.

Yu Guang looked at the girl who suddenly became a little nervous in the back seat from the rearview mirror.

I didn't feel a little laughed in my heart.

‘At this time, it is indeed more effective to let the boy you like come out to comfort him?’

‘Give me some extra effort, Iori, you guy.’

......

"Didi."

The phone vibrates slightly.

Shiina Iori, who was sitting at the table to solve the official business today, paused for his reply, and then took it out and took it for a look.

On the table opposite, the president of Terajima, who was wearing thick-framed glasses, glanced calmly, and then continued to bow his head and work hard.

Shiina Iori originally thought it was an anonymous confession sent by a girl who didn't know where to add it to his Line, but then I saw a brief description of Ai Takiya's process.

The pen in your hand simply stopped.

He paused for a while, and soon he became unconsciously rotated between his fingers and palms as Shiina Iori's thinking process.

Until you finish reading the full text.

"Luckily, I'm going to have a meal."

He suddenly put down his cell phone and pen and reported casually.

Yuki Terajima continued to deal with the official duties in front of him without raising his head, and also replied casually: "It is a violation of regulations for not staying at school according to the campus regulations, Shiina Iori."

Iori was stunned when he heard this: "I don't remember this school rule."

"Because you are a special manager of the Academic Affairs Office, there are additional items for prescribed school hours."

Yuki Terajima said, sliding his glasses under the high nose bridge:

“I supervise.”

"Please!"

Shiina Iori knew there was a chance when she heard this. She immediately closed her hands and recognized her elder sister's head: "I will deal with all these official duties when I come back!"

"unnecessary."

Yuki Terajima's tone was still faint: "These are official duties that should be handled by me alone, and now you are helping me."

"So..." Shiina Iori's eyes lit up immediately.

"Just answer my question, you can leave."

Yuki Terajima's voice was peaceful and there was no ups and downs as usual.

Only that strong and almost terrifying desire for control.

"Who are you going to date with?"

Shiina Iori couldn't help laughing when she heard this:
