Ai Tanihara in a certain timeline.

[Note: This world line is the baby taming and dyeing route]

Didan Primary School.

"Jinpei-chan, I heard that a new transfer student is coming today." Hagiwara Kenji poked Matsuda Jinpei in the face.

Matsuda Jinpei slapped Hagihara Kenji's hand away with a bad expression.

"Who cares about this, he's probably a fool."

Matsuda Jinpei's actions caused the surrounding discussions to resound again, and the noisy words made him yell viciously.

After everyone shut up, he lay down on the table again and buried his head in his arms.

In the corner where no one saw him, his eyes looked much lonely.

From the day his father became a suspect, these voices have always existed. Even if his father's charges are cleared, these rumors will still exist.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door of the classroom, and the teacher walked to the podium.

"Everyone, please return to your seats quickly."

After the teacher finished speaking, a group of little carrot heads returned to their seats and sat down obediently.

"Come in, Tanihara-san."

A little girl walked in.

As she walked, her long dark hair curved in the breeze. The girl walked to the desk, her sweet, doll-like face pure and free of any impurities.

The class was silent for a while, and the girl smiled politely at everyone.

The female teacher on the podium coughed slightly to cover her slightly red face. Her excellent teacher quality made her speak again.

"This is Ai Tanihara who will be studying with everyone from today on. Tanihara-san is a kid from a flower-growing family. We should get along well with each other in the future."

After the teacher finished speaking, his eyes moved from each empty seat.

Ai Tanihara looked at the person lying down in the corner and pointed to the empty seat next to it.

"Teacher, I want to sit there."

"Eh???" The people in the class immediately made a surprised sound.

Ai Tanihara walked towards that position, and a girl held her hand.

"Gu Yuan, you'd better not go and sit there. The murderer's son is next to you."

Tanihara Ai was confused and looked back at the teacher.

The female teacher came over and pretended to be angry at the girl.

"Matsuda-san's father was just misjudged. Please stop spreading rumors."

"But..." the girl hesitated.

Everyone thinks this way, everyone says this way, and often the truth is not that important.

The girl also wanted to say, Tanihara Ai smiled slightly at the girl.

"Thank you for your concern, but saying bad things is hurtful, so please believe him, okay?"

Tanihara Ai held the girl's hand, and with a smile, the girl nodded repeatedly.

Tanihara Ai sat in that position.

Hagiwara Kenji pulled Matsuda Jinpei who was still lying on the table in the back row.

Matsuda Jinpei raised his head irritably. There was another person in the vacant seat, and a girl reached out to him.

"Hello, my name is Tanihara Ai, and I am your new deskmate. Please give me your advice from now on."

……

between classes.

Hagihara Kenji turned his head in his seat and rested his hands on Matsuda Jinpei's desk.

That Hagiwara Kenji who always wanted to get closer to him for some reason made Matsuda Jinpei complain in his heart.

What a strange person.

"Hey Jinpei-chan, what do you want to do for your birthday tomorrow?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I want to drag my dad out first."

During this time, Matsuda Jotaro stopped going to the boxing gym. He drank at home all day, and basically stayed at home except when he went out to buy alcohol.

Thinking of his father, Matsuda Jinpei wiped his face to prevent himself from looking too sad and making people laugh.

"Ah? Then do you want to come to my house to celebrate tomorrow? My sister recently invented a new dish." Hagiwara Kenji winked at Matsuda Jinpei.

"up to you."

Matsuda Jinpei turned his head indifferently and began to think about what to bring for the visit.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Ai Tanihara looking at him without blinking, blushing for a moment, and Jinpei Matsuda holding his forehead.

"Hey! Why are you staring at me!"

"It turns out tomorrow is Matsuda-san's birthday."

"What does that have to do with you?"

The girl tilted her head, "I thought everyone would be looking forward to birthday gifts."

After saying that, she immersed herself in learning Chinese.

"Hmph, I don't expect that!" Matsuda Jinpei turned his head, looking like he really didn't care.

After school, Matsuda Jinpei walked home and turned on the light.

Beer cans were scattered around the living room.

Skillfully finding garbage bags and packing the beer cans one by one, Matsuda Jinpei stepped on a stool and cracked the eggs into the pot.

The oil splashed from the pot fell on the tip of his face, and the physiological pain made Matsuda Jinpei's eyes red. Tears fell down, and he wiped his own tears with his sleeves.

Matsuda Jinpei gasped for a moment and then continued cooking.

Dad still needs his care, and he must not cry at this time.

night.

Matsuda Jinpei went to bed early. The knocking on the window made him rub his sleepy eyes and get up from the bed.

The clock hanging on the wall reached twelve o'clock.

"Who?"

He went to the window and a box was pushed onto the sill.

Still wondering, Tanihara Ai suddenly jumped out from the side.

The originally frightening scene showed no trace of fear on the face illuminated by the moonlight.

Ai Tanihara smiled.

"Happy birthday, Matsuda-san."
