Aiko, rushing in first, shouted at them."Aiko, do you know this guy?" the bespectacled boy asked, looking at her."He's my friend, please don't fight.

After lunch, Masashi escorted the girls back to school.Before he left, Aiko unconsciously tugged on his sleeve, "Can you come to my house tonight?""There's no need to worry; everything is fine now. Didn't Murashima say she'd stay with you these next few days?

Although she didn’t know what had transpired between the two men in the room, seeing Adams' expression, Ailin couldn’t help but approach Masashi and ask what he had said to Adams.Masashi repeated their conversation verbatim, causing the mixed-race beauty to widen her eyes in disbelief."Are you out of your mind? With the kind of person Adams is, he absolutely won’t let this go." If it weren’t for the people nearby, she might have shouted out loud."Does it matter? From the moment I got involved in…

After a moment, the energy-saving lamp flickered, then returned to its normal brightness."Good, it didn't burn out," the man murmured to himself.When he turned his head, Aiko covered her mouth in disbelief as she looked at him."Hey kid, did I scare you? Sorry, I came late," Masashi said with a smile.In that instant, Aiko's mind went blank, and before she realized it, tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.
