A world only known by the God of Lost Love

Straightforward, positive, lively and intelligent.

He is simply the complete opposite of Goto Kazuri.

If it weren't for their extremely similar faces and hair colors, Ren Suzuki would really doubt whether the two sisters were related by blood...

"Hum hum hum~"

Goto Jiri, who was holding Suzuki Ren's arm, began to hum happily, but Suzuki Ren could not relax at all.

On the one hand, he didn't want to make it too difficult for Gotou Ichiri, and on the other hand, it was simply because he was not good at dealing with children.

"……Ugh."

Although Ren Suzuki does have extremely rich experience in love, her experience in raising children can be said to be basically zero.

Especially when dealing with a girl as talented and innocent as Goto Jiri, Suzuki Ren is even more helpless.

If you reject her too seriously...it might make the child unhappy.

But to put it too euphemistically, I always felt that this kid would pretend to be stupid and fool him again.

Looking at those cute eyes with a charming smile, Suzuki Ren can be said to be as big as two heads.

And when he turned his help-seeking eyes to Goto Kazuri, all he got was the extremely envious, jealous and hateful look from the other party, as well as endless thoughts...

But fortunately, he and the Goto sisters were not the only ones in this family. Soon, Ren Suzuki’s savior came to him——

"Okay, Erli, don't be too rude to the guests."

Michiyo Goto, who came with fruits, said to Jiri Goto:

"If you keep holding Suzuki-nii's arm like this, won't he be unable to eat? This is not the way to treat guests!"

"..."

Eh?Is the focus on eating?

Shouldn’t it be better to stop your daughter from having close contact with strange men so casually...

"Um... well."

Although the method of persuasion made Suzuki Ren extremely confused, Goto Jiri obediently let go of Suzuki Ren's arm.

At the same time, Goto Ichiri's eyes finally regained some color.

However, the next second, Goto Erri's words made Goto Iri's expression fall into nothingness again——

"Then, can I sit on Suzuki-nii's lap?"

"This... I'm afraid it won't work..."

This time, Ren Suzuki finally answered with a wry smile:

"This kind of thing really has to wait until sister Erli grows up...and then...well...do it with someone your parents approve of."

"Eh... so..."

Goto Erri nodded in understanding, and then she raised her finger and pointed at Goto Erri.

"That means, if you are a sister, you can do this?"

"Ehhhhhh-?!"

When Gotou heard this, the darkness on his face was instantly wiped away, replaced by overt panic.

(Me, me, me!? Sit, sit on Suzuki-san’s lap?! This, this, this, how is this possible... Being directly held in Suzuki-san’s arms, feeling his body temperature and smell, and then whispering something in my ear , that kind of thing...this kind of thing...)

Although he knew that this kind of thing was unrealistic, Goto Kazuri couldn't help but imagine such a scene in his mind.

As for the result...

"Ah, sister, you have a nosebleed!"

"Goto-san!? Are you okay!?"

Ren Suzuki couldn't help but be shocked by this sudden "bloodshed".

"Quickly pinch the sides of your nose with your hands! I'll go find toilet paper for you -"

"Uuuuuuu——! No, don't worry about me!"

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Goto Kazuri immediately stood up, pinched his nose and said to the two of them:

"I'll be back when I go!"

After saying that, she immediately ran to the bathroom as if running away, leaving only Ren Suzuki and Jiri Goto looking at each other.

"...Does your sister often have nosebleeds?"

"No, because my sister's room is always dark and damp, so nosebleeds are rare!"

"Is that so..."

That's probably just because Gotou Kazuri is too nervous, right?

After all, he broke into her home so suddenly and caused such a big commotion. It is natural for this girl with poor adaptability to feel pressure...

"I just hope that the next dinner time... can be a little peaceful."

Looking at the couple busy in the kitchen not far away, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but pray like this sincerely.

Chapter 40: Natural thanks and questions

Ren Suzuki, who has no sense of belonging in this world, maintains a certain sense of boundaries and distance no matter who she gets along with.

After all, in his opinion, he is just a passing passerby in this world.

After completing his mission, he will return to his world and eliminate all traces of his existence.

If it is based on the premise that sooner or later they have to say goodbye, then naturally he does not need to invest too much emotion in them.

At least that's what Ren Suzuki thought before this.

However, what happened to the Goto family today shook the boundaries of his heart like never before——

"Adolescent boys just need to eat more! Come on, Suzuki-san, try our stew!"

"Today's fish is also very fresh, Suzuki-san, please have some more too!"

“You can also add more rice!”

"…………"

The over-enthusiastic Goto family made it completely impossible for Suzuki Ren to maintain his usual restrained and calm state.Faced with the offensive of the Goto couple, Ren Suzuki had to respond as appropriately as possible in a hurry and in a panic.

In addition, the exaggerated hill made up of various kinds of food in the rice bowl is also a big challenge for Ren Suzuki.

Although the food tasted very good, Suzuki Ren still felt a lot of pressure from eating twice the usual amount of food in one sitting.

Finally, after nearly two and 10 minutes of hard work, Ren Suzuki finally eliminated all the food in the bowl and successfully rejected Goto Michiyo's invitation to "have another bowl!"

However, as a price, Suzuki Ren did not dare to stand up at all, for fear that his stomach would be squeezed and lead to a tragedy.

"Sorry, Suzuki-san, it seems we went a little too far."

Looking at Ren Suzuki who was slumped in a chair and rubbing her belly, Naoki Goto smiled and said:

"Would you like to bring you some digestive medicine?"

"...Thank you for your kindness, but I won't bother you anymore."

Suzuki Ren shook his head:

"I just need to sit here for a while."

"Eh? Why don't Suzuki-nii come to the sofa?"

After hearing Suzuki Ren's answer, Goto Jiri's expression seemed a little disappointed.

At this time, Goto Kazuri, who was sitting next to her, finally showed a little bit of her sister's majesty——

"Okay, Erli. Suzuki... Brother, his stomach is very full now. Let him rest for a while. Come on, let's watch TV for a while."

"Okay~"

Fortunately, Goto Jiri is a well-behaved and sensible child. After hearing her sister's words, she immediately gave up her willful demands and began to focus on the TV program being shown.

The noisy sound coming from the TV temporarily isolated the living room and dining room into two spaces——

"……How about it?"

Goto Naoki's voice sounded in Suzuki Ren's ears again.

"My family Yili...is a good girl, right?"

"……kindness."

Looking at Goto Isri's side face, Suzuki Ren also nodded and subconsciously echoed:

"Indeed... he is a very good boy."

"Hahaha, what kind of statement are you talking about?"

After hearing Ren Suzuki's answer, Naoki Goto couldn't help but smile and said:

"What a good kid. It makes it seem like she is many years younger than you. You two are obviously in the same class, right?"

"...Ah, yes, there was a slight slip of the tongue..."

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren quickly changed her words:

"I mean, Goto-kun, she's a very nice girl!"

"Hmm... It's a little strange for a boy who is the same age as my daughter to say this. Should I say at this time, 'I can't leave my daughter to you'?"

"…………"

"Hey, don't be so cold! I was just joking!"

Seeing that Suzuki Ren's eyes suddenly became extremely empty, Goto Naoki immediately stopped messing around.

"Actually, what I want to say to Suzuki-kun is... thank you very much."

Goto Naoki's expression and tone became serious.

"Thank you for being my daughter's friend and thank you for everything you do for my daughter."

After saying that, he bowed his head deeply to Suzuki Ren.

"Anyway, I didn't actually do anything special."

Facing this father's solemn thanks, Suzuki Ren quickly shook his head and said:

"Whether she joins the band or decides to appear on the school radio, it is actually Goto-san's own decision. I just gave her a little introduction -"

"It's okay to fool Yili with such words. As a father, I know very well how troublesome my daughter's character is, and I also know very well how much care and effort you put into making her grow."

Goto Naoki directly interrupted Suzuki Ren's humble excuse.

"The various problems with the child in Yili have always been a problem for me and the child's mother. But I'm ashamed to say... As parents, we really don't know what method to take to avoid harming the child. Under such circumstances, let her take the initiative to overcome her inferiority and negativity. But your appearance has solved the problem that we have been helpless for many years in just one month... To be honest, I can't help but admire you a little .”

"You flatter me."

As for Goto Ichiri's problems, the parents are actually not to blame.

As adults with no impairment in social skills, it was difficult for the Goto couple to understand Goto Ichiri's extremely cowardly way of thinking to some extent.

Moreover, for Kazuri Goto, she has a natural rebellious nature when she enters adolescence. Naturally, she cannot listen to her parents' care and teachings that cannot be understood.

In a sense, the only person who can solve Goto Kazuri's problems is someone of a similar age to her and who can understand sociophobic people.

"Perhaps, Goto-san does have some shortcomings that are hard to understand, but apart from that, she also has strengths and charms that make her proud of herself. As long as she is willing to face herself, then All misunderstandings she had about herself will be resolved naturally."

Ren Suzuki looked back at Kazuri Goto, who was watching a children's program with his sister, and said:

"Perhaps my help did shorten the process of her self-examination, but even without me, she must have found other ways to prove herself... At least, that's what I think."

"…………"

After listening to what Suzuki Ren said, Goto Naoki was silent for a moment, and then said:

"You...maybe you believe in Yili more than me and the child's mother."

"This is just a reasonable judgment based on my observations."

Ren Suzuki replied calmly:
