Chapter 177: Subtle Changes after Taking Away the First Experience
"……Um?"

Early Monday morning, Qingshuijian woke up when he heard the birds singing.

I looked around groggily, remembering what happened that night.

It was his annual birthday. After returning from visiting Sakurai Haruka in the hospital, he was entertained by two beautiful maids in the house, and then had sex with Amamiya Iori in the room.

It's just like a dream...

That indescribable feeling of unreality still exists.

There was no going back... No, there was no plan to.

Shimizumi had accepted her and was accepted by her.

To be honest, Shimizu felt that he had done something wrong, but if he had the chance to choose again, he would make the same mistake again.

Compared to the original development of this world, the current world line has probably developed to the point where it cannot be corrected at all.

In a sense, it seemed that it was a decision that Shimizu Mi and Amamiya Iori would have a relationship, but now the relationship between the two of them has become very different.

"Really..."

Qingshuijian can now remember it as long as he closes his eyes.

The beautiful and messy figure of Amamiya Iori in his arms, the feeling of being eroded by happiness revived again and again.

That night, Amemiya Iori gave Shimizu an unprecedented sense of security.

[Dear, I love you so much that I regard supporting you as the purpose of my life. If you say you don't need me, I might die quietly, that's what I think.]

The words woven by Amemiya Iori with her innocent eyes have been lingering in Shimizumi's mind.

There was clear love in those words.

Amemiya Iori will affirm everything about him, accept everything about him, and will always be by his side.

"...Iori...you really are the heroine."

Qing Shuijian couldn't help but sigh, stretched and stood up.

Although Amamiya Iori is no longer the heroine due to revisions, even if she is treated as an ordinary character in a comic or a boys' magazine, she can definitely gain popularity far beyond that of a heroine.

After the daily routine of washing up and coming to the living room, Shimizu did not see Hoshino Akiko, but instead Shimizu Reina was still sleeping peacefully.

The quilt was still covered properly and the food in the refrigerator was still there, so it looked like she didn't sleepwalk last night.

"Would you like to try making breakfast?"

Basically, Shimizu Mi doesn't make breakfast. If Amamiya Iori or Hoshino Akiko is not around, he will just buy some bread at the convenience store for breakfast.

But today, Shimizu decided to give it a try for the first time.

First, heat the rice in the microwave, put it in a bowl, beat an egg, pour soy sauce on it, and stir it. The egg rice for breakfast is ready.

After Reina Shimizu got up, he enjoyed breakfast with her.

To be honest, after spending these few days together, Shimizu Mi has slowly gotten used to life with Shimizu Reina, and often has a very strange feeling of nostalgia.

I always feel like... I've gotten used to the existence of Shimizu Reina in my life a long time ago.

However, they are not biological siblings who grew up together, so it is unlikely.

Despite this, Shimizu still cherishes it.

"...Brother made a delicious breakfast."

Even though it was just a simple dish, and Shimizu Ken never said that he made it for breakfast, but Shimizu Reina could actually taste it right away and praised it for being delicious with a happy look on her face.

After finishing breakfast and getting ready to go to school, Shimizu Ken took Shimizu Reina out of the house.

“…Huwah.”

Qingshuijian yawned loudly while walking on the way to school.

Although he was about to arrive at school, he had not thought about what expression he should have when facing Amamiya Iori.

Amemiya Iori is a special existence for Shimizu Mi.

"Brother, you seem a little different today..."

"is it?"

At this time, Shimizu saw a familiar figure in front of him.

"……what."

She looked at Shimizumi, swaying her long, shiny black hair - it was Amamiya Iori.

Amemiya Iori was the same as usual, but she couldn't hide her joy. Although he was used to seeing her like this, Shimizu still felt his heart beating faster when he saw her like this today.

Although they had not made any special appointment to meet, Amamiya Iori stayed there as if waiting for Shimizu.

The moment their eyes met, she immediately ran towards Qingshuijian with a smile on her face.

"Good morning darling!"

"Oh, good morning..."

She jumped into Shimizumi's arms and hugged him like an anxiously waiting couple.

Amemiya Iori looked up at Shimizumi who caught her, her cheeks slightly flushed and she smiled.

Seeing that smile that can win the hearts of everyone will melt unconsciously.

"Really? How can someone just suddenly rush over and hug someone else?"

"What's the matter? I've been wanting to do this since we parted that night, and - that night was really great, Master~ Sir~"

"Well……"

Amemiya Iori immediately exuded a seductive aura and stood on tiptoe to whisper to Shimizu Mi.

Although pedestrians nearby could definitely not hear it, Shimizumi could clearly hear what Amemiya Iori said, which made his heart beat faster again and his lower body began to heat up.

Although I shouldn't think about it at this time, it is impossible to forget it after all.

And it seems that what happened that night also caused some changes in Iori Amamiya.

Of course, this is definitely not a bad change. On the contrary, it has brought her and Shimizumi’s relationship to a new level. Now there are almost no obstacles between the two of them.

"What if someone sees us hugging each other in a place like this?"

"I don't care even if someone else sees me."

Although she said that, Shimizu Reina kept looking at the two of them with her head tilted in confusion. It was impossible not to notice her.

"Ah, good morning, Reina-chan too."

Amamiya Iori greets Shimizu Reina.

"Morning, Sister Iori."

The two said good morning to each other.

"It's a pity, but I'd better leave first."

Although he left, it did not mean he disappeared from her side. Amamiya Iori just left the embrace, and his gaze on Shimizumi from a very close distance did not change.

"My dear, shall we go together?"

"Ah."

Walk together towards the school.

Shimizu glanced at Amamiya Iori who was walking side by side with her. At first glance, there was indeed no change in her, but she seemed to have been reborn. Now she looked more feminine and charming.

The two of them walked hand in hand naturally. They were walking on this familiar road that they had walked countless times, but today it felt new, as if they were in another place.

Maybe it’s because the girl next to me has become a special person.

"The school is just ahead."

"Yes."

As the school got closer, they could see other students and some classmates. Perhaps the atmosphere between the two of them had changed, and some people didn't care about them holding hands, while others did.

Some eyes were focused on the two of them, and it was still hard to get used to this kind of gaze.

Shimizumi wanted to tell Amemiya Iori about this, but she just smiled and nodded to him, holding his hand tightly, as if to express her determination not to leave him no matter what.

At the same time, Amamiya Iori's grip on Shimizumi's hand became stronger.

"Honey, let's just keep it like this."

These were the words spoken softly by Amamiya Iori, and Shimizu Mi heard them clearly.

Really, this is nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

Shimizu Kenkai shook Amemiya Iori's hand. She looked at him in surprise for a moment, but soon smiled happily.

After passing through the school gate, more and more people looked at me because of the particularly eye-catching presence of Amamiya Iori and Shimizu Reina.

Of course, the Student Council President Ayase Kotone also noticed this.

Ayase Kotone looked at the faces of Shimizu Miki and Amemiya Iori, then looked at their holding hands, looking at them with some confusion and a little surprise.

Shimizu nodded to her, and Amamiya Iori also bowed slightly following his lead.

After changing into indoor shoes at the shoe cabinet and walking in the corridor, Shimizu Mi felt that no matter what, they would not hold hands next time, but Amamiya Iori immediately held Shimizu Mi's hand again, and thus received more attention than when they were outside.

But when Shimizu Miki saw that Amemiya Iori was happy, he would not let go of her hand.

“…What a luxury.”

However, if this is seen by teachers or school authorities, it will still be very troublesome.

Amemiya Iori looked at Shimizu Ken in confusion as she sighed slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch her head, but due to the occasion, he stopped halfway.

Seeing Shimizumi's hand put down, Amamiya Iori seemed a little dissatisfied, muttering "It's obviously not something you need to care about" and puffed up his cheeks.

When Shimizu Mi and Amamiya Iori walked into the classroom together, the eyes of the students already in the classroom were focused on them.

Then, he and Amamiya Iori went back to their respective seats.

As soon as Shimizu sat down, Shinichi Ishikawa came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Good morning. Just now...did you guys do what you were supposed to do?"

What do you mean?

Although Shimizu knew what Ishikawa Shinichi meant, he didn't expect that he could actually guess it.

Shimizu nodded and simply responded to Ishikawa Shinichi's question.

"Aa ...

Could you please stop rubbing my shoulders with your fists... While Shimizu Mi was about to complain to Ishikawa Shinichi, Amamiya Iori was chatting with the girls.

At this moment, she noticed Shimizu's gaze and waved to him conspicuously.

"Her Royal Highness is waving."

"I know."

Amamiya Iori looked genuinely happy as Shimizu Miyabi waved to her.

The boy next to her blushed and lowered his head when he saw her expression, while the girl next to him slapped him... It seemed that they were a couple.

Taking his eyes off the boy who kept apologizing, Shimizu looked at Amamiya Iori who was surrounded by his friends and smiling happily.

To be honest, seeing Amemiya Iori like this made Shimizu feel a little more relieved.

In fact, after that night, Qingshuijian's mentality changed significantly.

At first, I felt a little uneasy about accepting the fact that I had traveled through time and being prepared to continue living.

At the same time, Shimizu Miyabi does not think that what he does is absolutely right, but he will do what he wants to do in order to truly take steps for himself.

To do this, he had to quickly remember the things and memories he was about to remember.

Shimizu had a hunch that those memories must be the core of the questions he had about this world.

……

Although it is not a noticeable change, Amamiya Iori's inner self has also changed slightly.

It is undeniable that the development of the relationship between her and Shimizu Mi has allowed Amamiya Iori herself to enjoy this happiness.

When he met Shimizu this morning, he said that he could not stop thinking about what happened that night. This made Amamiya Iori very happy. If she wasn't paying attention the whole morning, she would relax and a silly smile would appear on her face unconsciously. Her friends around her were very worried if something had happened to her.

"Honey……"

My mind is filled with the image of Shimizu Mi. I have become a fool who only thinks about Shimizu Mi.

Although Shimizu was indeed a little too aggressive with her last night, he had also been paying attention to Amemiya Iori's condition, asking and comforting her from time to time.

I did feel some pain at first, but then thanks to Shimizumi's skilled technique I had to try hard to suppress the sound of my breathing.

"……ah!?"

Recalling these embarrassing scenes, Amamiya Iori reflexively stood up from the desk, and the desk made a loud banging noise.

Now, not only the classmates, but even the teachers began to worry about Amamiya Iori's condition.

But it was impossible for Amemiya Iori to tell the reason for his upset, so he could only lower his head quietly.

"Iori-san? Are you really okay?"

"It's okay... I'm sorry."

Although she was very shy, the joy immediately filled the gap of shame. Amamiya Iori continued to think about Shimizu Mi and wanted to keep staring at his face.

But Qingshuijian's seat was in the back row of the classroom, so if he wanted to see his face, he had to turn around.

Because he was unable to do what he wanted during class, Amamiya Iori spent a period of time in a depressed mood.

"Then the get out of class is over. The student on duty will give the command."

"Uh... stand up and salute."

A stiff and unmotivated voice sounded.

The teacher looked bored, but Amamiya Iori burst out laughing.

Because from the voice just now, we can tell that today's duty student is none other than Shimizu Mi.

Time passed and it was after school. Amamiya Iori stayed by Shimizu Mi as a matter of course.

She kept staring at Qingshuijian's back as he was changing the water in the vase.

This back view always made her feel at ease and also fascinated her.

"Okay, put the flowers in."

"Ah."

This is a rare time for Shimizu Mi and I to be alone together, as there are usually other students in the school, so there are few opportunities to be alone like this.

When he thought about the time he was spending with Shimizu, Amamiya Iori's heart leaped with joy.

"I... am completely mesmerized by you, dear."

Amamiya Iori thought with a smile.

If this were a comic, a red heart would definitely appear in Amamiya Iori's pupils now.

Dusk came briskly from the end of the horizon.

Next, Shimizu Mi is going to visit Sakurai Haruka in the hospital.

Since I promised it before, of course I have to do it.

After finishing his duty as a monitor, Shimizu changed his shoes in the school building and left the school with Amamiya Iori.

However, just after the two of them walked out of the school gate and had not gone far, Qingshuijian's cell phone suddenly rang.
