Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, his older brother... why would he suddenly call him?
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka was very surprised: "Brother, are you out of school?"
"Yes, it's me." The other party said very briefly: "Where are you now? I took a leave of absence today and am outside the school. I want to see you."
"I'm at a friend's house right now..." Ayanokoji glanced at Meari.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka let out a surprised "Oh?": "Boy or girl?"
"It's a girl."
"Are you very close to her?"
"Yes, we have a very good relationship."
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka thought for a moment, then quickly said: "...That's perfect. I also brought a female friend with me this time. If your friend is interested, you can bring her along too."
"Is it your girlfriend?"
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka remembered that his older brother had a girlfriend named Kei Karuizawa.
Back then, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka even showed him a picture of his girlfriend to persuade him to also attend this merit-based Advanced Nurturing High School.
Ayanokoji remembered that she was indeed a beauty.
At the time, it made Ayanokoji Kiyotaka envious, but he didn't expect that a few months later, he already had three potential girlfriends... He really was a scumbag.
Ayanokoji couldn't help but mock himself.
"It's her." He admitted Ayanokoji's guess and continued to ask: "Which district of Tokyo are you specifically in right now?"
"In Adachi Ward."
"Adachi Ward, huh... Perfect. Can you go to a hospital in Bunkyo Ward now? I've put something for you in the tenth storage locker in the second row there. I'm using a public phone now, so you don't need to call back later."
"Okay." Ayanokoji didn't ask any more questions, simply nodding his head.
To be honest, Ayanokoji knew very little about his older brother; he was always shrouded in mystery.
After all, they only met a few times a year, and each time felt like a new experience.
Ayanokoji Kiyotaka hadn't seen his older brother in a long time, and he had many questions for him to answer.
Ayanokoji naturally had to go find him.
After Ayanokoji Kiyotaka gave the pickup password, the other party hung up the phone.
Seeing Ayanokoji put down his phone, Meari asked curiously, "Who was that person? I think I heard you call him older brother…"
"He's Ayanokoji Kiyotaka, the one I told you about who got into Advanced Nurturing High School."
"Since he's studying at that high school, how did he get out!?" Meari exclaimed in surprise.
Advanced Nurturing High School was good in every way, except that once you enrolled, it was a closed campus. You couldn't leave the school for three years, and you couldn't go out normally, just like entering the military. Communication with the outside world was forbidden, and you could only leave after graduation.
Meari knew this, which was why she was very reluctant to attend that high school.
Ayanokoji's older brother was so amazing that he actually got out of that school early?
"Although Advanced Nurturing High School forbids students from going out, it's certainly impossible to cut off contact with the outside world. The last time he came out, a basketball club needed to participate in a competition, and he left the school as a related person."
Ayanokoji explained, "However, for most people, this school is still a closed campus; that much is true."
Ayanokoji wasn't entirely clear on the specific procedures, so he didn't explain too much to Meari. Then, Ayanokoji paused and asked, "Meari, do you want to come out with me?"
"I want to go!" Meari replied without hesitation.
Ayanokoji had already met her parents, and if she could meet Ayanokoji's "parents"... then this matter would be settled!
Meari was nervous, but even more excited about this meeting.
Moreover, she had finally managed to invite Ayanokoji Kiyotaka to her home, and she had been thinking of spending a whole day alone with him. How could he leave now!
Meari was wearing homewear. Since she was going out, she needed to change clothes. She flushed and pushed Ayanokoji Kiyotaka out of the room. This scene was Just right seen by Ayari's parents.
"What's wrong? Why did Meari push you out?" Ayari's mother asked curiously.
"We're going out for a bit. Meari is changing her clothes."
Hearing Ayanokoji say this, the two of them exchanged glances, a knowing smile appearing on their faces.
"They're going on a date… It seems his relationship with Meari is even better than we imagined," Ayari's mother thought to herself.
This was something she was happy to see.
When Meari came out in a change of clothes, she saw her mother giving her an ambiguous smile and saying with great concern, "You two are going out, right? Remember to take an umbrella when you leave, just in case it rains."
The weather recently had indeed been unusual, so taking an umbrella was a good idea.
"Oh, I know."
Meari nodded, then walked to the entrance, changing her shoes while taking an umbrella from the cabinet and putting it into her backpack.
"I wasn't talking about this umbrella."
Ayari's mother approached Meari and slipped a smooth, square, transparent plastic-wrapped item into Meari's hand, whispering in a voice only Meari could hear, "Girls, remember to protect yourselves. No matter how much you like him, you can't be careless."
Meari touched the item in her hand, and her face immediately turned red. She said in a mix of shame and anger, "Mom, what are you thinking? We're just going out for a bit, and I'll be back tonight!"
"Oh, it's not that…" Ayari's mother was a little disappointed.
"We're not there yet!" Meari saw Ayanokoji walking towards them and glared fiercely at her mother, quickly stuffing the item her mother gave her into her backpack.
It would be a big problem if Ayanokoji saw this!
"What's wrong?" Seeing his mother-in-law walk past him with a smile, and Meari's flustered expression, Ayanokoji looked at her in confusion.
"Nothing!" Meari quickly shook her head and urged, "Let's go quickly, your older brother is still waiting outside!"
The "Adachi Ward" where Meari's family lived was a suburban area of Tokyo, with low prices, considered a "commoner" residential area.
However, it was close to famous attractions like "Senso-ji Temple" and "Tokyo Skytree," and transportation was relatively convenient, making it a decent place to live.
It wasn't far from the "Bunkyo Ward" that Ayanokoji Kiyotaka mentioned.
Bunkyo Ward, led by the University of Tokyo, had 15 universities clustered within it, giving it a strong cultural atmosphere. Since many large hospitals were also built here, it was also known as Tokyo's "Medical Capital."
The meeting place Ayanokoji Kiyotaka had arranged was a famous private hospital located there.
Upon arriving at the designated location, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka opened the locker using the verification code.
There wasn't much inside, just a paper bag and a piece of paper.
