He is an idol and a childhood sweetheart.

"... Then we won't be able to make it in time for breakfast."

Higuchi Enka crossed her arms and said calmly:

"And unlike some people who don't get enough sleep on weekdays, I have enough rest time."

"So I've been paying attention recently.

It’s all done…”

After hearing the other meaning in Higuchi Enka's words, Watanabe Kento could only explain to himself with a wry smile:

"If you don't believe me, come and take a look. The bags under my eyes are almost completely invisible - oh!"

"…………"

Before Kento Watanabe could finish speaking, Higuchi Enka walked quickly in front of Kento Watanabe, stretched out his hands to directly press Kento Watanabe's cheeks, and began to look into his eyes carefully.

And Kento Watanabe, who was suddenly close to him, could only be forced to look at each other at a very close distance with Enka Higuchi——

(Enka... put on makeup today?)

Although it was not obvious, the luster on the fair skin and the lips that were pinker than usual allowed him to see the traces of makeup at a glance.

Did it start from the day she met Terumi Kachi... Enka, who originally didn't put much effort into makeup, started to become more and more proficient.Not only that, her dressing style also began to become more varied than before.

Whether as an idol or a young girl, she has become more and more impeccable. This child...

"……not bad."

While Kento Watanabe was still feeling emotional about the changes that had taken place in Higuchi Enka, Higuchi Enka also ended her examination and released her hands.

"The dark circles under your eyes are gone, and there are less bloodshot eyes than before. It seems that you have indeed started to take good care of your health."

"Well, no matter what, I still want to live to see you win WING."

"Hey...in that case, maybe we have to work harder."

"Is my life in danger to that extent?"

"more or less."

Suppressing the slight smile behind the slightly thorny words, Higuchi Yuka straightened up again and handed over Kento Watanabe's shirt by the bedside.

"Okay, you go and wash up, and I'll prepare breakfast for you."

"……what?"

After hearing this sentence, Kento Watanabe suddenly made an extremely dull voice:

"Prepare breakfast for me...?"

"Well, otherwise why do you think I came so early?"

Higuchi Enka said calmly:

"By the way, I did it myself and didn't ask my mother to help."

"Oh, oh...eh?"

Kento Watanabe nodded a little dullly, but he soon realized it. Higuchi Enka's answer did not solve the doubts in his heart at all.

"Wait a minute, Enxiang, why do you suddenly want to prepare breakfast for me——"

"Stop blabbering, get up quickly and wash up."

It's a pity that Higuchi Enka doesn't intend to answer this question.

"Or do you want me to help you change clothes?"

"Well, I can just do it myself."

Kento Watanabe, who has the self-esteem of an adult man, cannot imagine being helped by his childhood sweetheart who is five years younger than him, such as changing clothes.

Although last week when he received the lunch box prepared for him by Daito Yuko, he had already experienced the shame of being taken care of by a girl younger than him...

After watching Higuchi Enka leave the room, he glanced at the drawers in the closet in front of the bed that had been closed and the floor that had been cleaned. Kento Watanabe couldn't help but sigh slightly.

………………

"Um...Enka?"

"kindness?"

"In your eyes, am I particularly unreliable?"

Looking at the neatly stacked lunch box in front of him, Kento Watanabe asked with a confused expression:

"I always feel that both Fuyuko and you... seem to have always cared about my daily life. Could it be that in your opinion, I am the kind of loser who can't live without someone to take care of me?"

"………………well enough."

After staring at Kento Watanabe's face in silence for a while, Enka Higuchi slowly spoke:

"After all, you are someone who has basically been living alone since high school, so I don't look down on you that much. As for why Fuyuko and I care about your daily life...it's actually just a little compensation."

"Compensation?"

Kento Watanabe couldn't help but tilted his head in confusion.

"What does it mean?"

"My point is, because I can't help you at all in other aspects, in order to satisfy my desire to 'do something for you,' I can only attack your slightly weaker areas. As for Fuyuko ...Although the reasons may not be exactly the same as mine, they are probably not much different.”

Higuchi Enka turned his face and said:

"All in all, it's an act that stems entirely from my own desires, so don't feel any psychological pressure, just accept it."

"So...this is what you mentioned before?"

Kento Watanabe looked down at the lunch box in front of him again.

"Because you 'wanted to do something for me', you specially prepared breakfast for me?"

"Of course it's not just that."

Higuchi Enka shook her head gently.

"I will stay at the office for the next whole day. As for you...you don't have to do anything, just do it as usual."

"???"

"Okay, don't ask anymore, just eat your food."

Seeing Kento Watanabe's confused expression, Higuchi Enka leaned directly on the back of his chair, assuming a posture of refusing to answer all questions.

"Since you said you wanted to help me solve my worries, then you just need to listen to me obediently."

"OK then."

Although he still couldn't understand the logic of Higuchi Enka's behavior, Watanabe Kento nodded, and then he started to enjoy breakfast quietly just as Higuchi Enka said...

In this way, the weekend date that only belonged to the two of them kicked off in this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

Chapter 30: Healing for each other

In fact, Higuchi Enka didn't encounter anything that bothered her too much during this period.

It would be better to say that she has been in a good mood ever since she helped Ken Watanabe and Toru Asakura resolve their misunderstanding.

Even after Asakura Toru's strong confession and Daito Yuko's sudden joining, it did not affect what she wanted to do.

And since that informal live, she has indeed felt that she is gradually becoming an idol worthy of Kento Watanabe's reliance.

Whether it was his increasingly brief job description or his gradually decreasing useless concern, Higuchi Enka felt for the first time that he was not as mature as he was.

……

…………

Well, of course, since she invited Kento Watanabe to the office this weekend, there must be a certain reason.

Maybe she really hasn't encountered any troubles during this period...but this doesn't mean that she is "satisfied" with this period of time.

And the reason is to blame...

"...Uh, really, you don't need me to do anything?"

"Yeah. You just need to work here as usual."

Higuchi Enka said in his usual calm tone while packing away the lunch boxes in front of Kento Watanabe:

"Nothing special, just treat me like air."

"Eh……?"

Although Ken Watanabe understood every word that Higuchi Enka said, he really couldn't understand them when they were put together.

"Just staying in the office is fine. But...does this kind of thing mean anything special to you, Enka?"

Kento Watanabe asked.

After hearing this, Higuchi Enka's eyes briefly wandered for a moment. However, after thinking of the man in front of her who was eager to get to the bottom of things, she could only sigh slightly, and then replied:

"Before Fuyuuko came...or before Bon Festival, the two of us would stay in the office almost every day like this."

"Ah, yes."

Kento Watanabe nodded after hearing this.

"At that time, you hadn't started school yet, and the office hadn't received any work yet. As long as you didn't have classes, the two of us would basically stay here..."

"You'd sit there and work, and I'd sit here and do my thing..."

As Higuchi Enka spoke, he looked at the sofa where he usually sat.

“Sometimes you can’t even say a word for an hour or two.”

"Uh...sorry, it's easy for me to get all wrapped up in when I'm working."

"I don't intend to blame you for this. Rather, I enjoy the quiet atmosphere."

Ever since she was a child, Toru Asakura was basically present in all the time she spent with Kento Watanabe.

And once Toru Asakura is present, she will stick to Kento Watanabe without any courtesy, and then talk to him non-stop.Coupled with her slightly awkward thoughts in the early days, she had never had the opportunity to be alone with Kento Watanabe.

However, during the period when she first joined the firm, she seemed to have made up for all the time she had missed as a child. She spent nearly half a month alone with Kento Watanabe in the firm. time……

"There will be no interruptions or worries. When I lower my head, I will return to my own world, and when I raise my head, I will see you by my side. Now think about it, although it is only half a month, but I may have become addicted to this feeling.”

Although it was really not in line with Higuchi Yuka's style to say these things directly, in order to reassure Kento Watanabe, she still tried her best to control her expression and voice and told him all this.

"That's right. Ever since Fuyuko joined, we haven't been alone together like this for a long time."

After listening to Higuchi Enka's explanation, Watanabe Kento couldn't help but lean back on his chair and said in a rather nostalgic tone:

"I see... In other words, Enxiang, do you want to experience the feeling of that time again?"

"Well, to put it simply...that's it."

Having already told everything, Enka Higuchi could only confess in a self-defeating manner:

"Anyway, you don't need to do anything special. Just stay in the office as usual and ignore me. This level of request shouldn't be considered willful, right?"

"...Of course, but I still have to correct you on one point."

Kento Watanabe said:

"Although sometimes I am completely immersed in work, I have never ignored you. In fact, I often secretly raise my head to observe you during work."

"

……ha? "

After Higuchi Enka heard this, the expression of Furui Muha on his face instantly relaxed a bit.

"You...are you waiting for me? Watching me secretly? When?"

"Almost every time I feel a little tired, I will raise my head and look at you."

Kento Watanabe smiled and said:

"It's very healing. Every time I look at you, Enxiang, I feel very relaxed...or should I say, at ease?"
