Chapter 39 Belonging
After the rain, the air becomes sweet and fresh with a faint fragrance.

Haichuan Ikusei Senior Private College.

From the past to the present, many graduates have been active in the political and economic circles. The school is proud of the excellence of its students, which is considered to be the best in Japan. It is a comprehensive school that adopts a direct admission system from junior high school, high school to university.

The school has a long history, and most of the children of new and old nobles studied here. It is a famous school with fine traditions.

Students walked along the tree-lined path to this traditional school.

Shimizu Mitsuki met up with Amemiya Iori and arrived at school early in the morning. Kondo Yuichi seemed to have caught a cold last night, so he took a day off today.

When they arrived at the school gate, the student council president Ayase Kotone was checking the students' attire with the student council members as usual.

Qingshuijian stretched hard, yawned, and blinked his tearful eyes.

"Honey, you look very sleepy."

Amemiya Iori raised his head and looked at Shimizu Mi who yawned from time to time.

"Iori, didn't I agree with you last night not to call me like that at school?"

The reason why Shimizu Mi was so tired was that after the video call yesterday, he was pestered by Amamiya Iori and talked on the phone all night until three in the morning.

Last night, he made an appointment with Amamiya Iori and still called him "Shimizu-kun" at school.

The condition is that Shimizu must call her by her name "Iori" in front of everyone, including her classmates.

Of course, the conditions are not limited to this.

From now on, Qingshui Jian will have to set aside a whole day for her every weekend.

As for what to do, it was all up to Amamiya Iori to arrange. As for this weekend, Shimizu Mi has been booked to accompany her to the newly opened aquarium in Enoshima.

To be honest, communicating with a yandere is not an easy thing.

Just asking her to change her name at school took Shimizu nearly three hours, and she was forced to sign a lot of "unequal treaties".

"What does it matter? Anyway, there are only two of us now, and we haven't even entered the school yet. Honey! Honey! Honey..."

Amemiya Iori seemed to want to take all the orders for the whole day, and kept repeating it in Shimizumi's ear.

Qingshuijian sighed in shock. Their college was a famous school with a certain reputation throughout the country.

While the school has a high admission rate, the school also has very strict rules, the first of which is that students are strictly prohibited from dating.

Having said that, it is completely useless to prohibit such things. Even the strictest schools cannot absolutely eliminate them.

So there are still many students who secretly date each other in private.

But if Amemiya Iori's affectionate address to him were to reach the ears of teachers or school officials, the situation would be different.

Being called to the office for questioning and having your parents called in is inevitable. If you still don't change your ways, you may even be suspended from school in serious cases.

While thinking, Shimizu couldn't help but stare at Amamiya Iori's face, and couldn't help but think of the maid last night.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing Shimizu standing there in a daze, Amamiya Iori, who had walked in front, walked back worriedly.

"Dear, what happened?"

"What do you mean?"

"I always feel that you have changed recently, and you are not the same as before."

Hearing this, Qing Shuijian froze unconsciously. Not only his body, but even his heart seemed to have stopped beating, which gave him the illusion that time had stopped.

"I feel like I have changed" is the most appropriate word to describe the current Shimizu.

He knew very well that after that night, not only his view of the world, but also his own state of mind had changed greatly.

"It's just a momentary feeling, please don't take it seriously."

"it is good……"

Amemiya Iori smiled at Shimizu, allowing him to regain some sense of his body.

However, it seems that Amemiya Iori has already noticed the changes in him.

Obviously, when Kikuchi Kei said this before, Shimizu Mi didn't feel this kind of inner wavering...

"Um... dear, do you mind?"

"what?"

Since Shimizu Mi had a stiff expression, Amemiya Iori leaned closer to his face worriedly.

After he said, "I don't mind, don't worry," Amamiya Iori started talking again.

"Even if a person seems to have changed, it doesn't mean it literally. It's true that I feel that you have changed a little recently, dear...but how should I put it? Even so, I still feel that this is you."

"What do you mean?"

"Ahahaha... I'm not sure either, but no matter how things change, I know that the person there is my dear. My heart will never mistake you, so I can say that you who are holding my hand like this are my dear."

I still don’t quite understand it even if I tell you now──Amamiya Iori said this, smiled and started walking again.

She let go of the hand she was holding and walked forward.

Even so, for Shimizumi, what she just said still made him feel a little relieved.

Because in this world that did not belong to him, what Amamiya Iori said seemed to tell him that he could stay here.

Shimizu has always been in a state of sometimes feeling uneasy and sometimes feeling at ease. This is the kind of worry that comes with a sudden change in the world you live in, and only he who has experienced this can understand it.

Shimizumi stopped and Amemiya Iori was waiting for him a little ahead.

Amemiya Iori thought that what she said made Shimizu feel uneasy and showed an uneasy expression. That expression was very impressive, and Shimizu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

However, knowing that Amemiya Iori was worried about him, Shimizu immediately ran forward.

"I'm sorry, it's okay now."

"really?"

"Ah."

Despite this, Amemiya Iori still frequently stole glances at Shimizumi's face. Perhaps she felt that he was really fine, so she stopped worrying.

"Honey, if you don't leave now you're really going to be late."

"Well, I see."

With a warm and bright smile on her face, Amemiya Iori took Shimizumi's hand again and walked towards the school gate.

This kind of her made Shimizu Michi convinced that "kind-hearted" might be a character setting, but the real her must be that kind of person.
