My name is Kazeta Takasaka, male, alive.

I don't have any lofty goals in life, I just want to live in a mess......

Oh no, that's not the point right now.

The key now is that my sister, who has been with me for more than ten years, is staring at me with cold eyes, and it feels like being in the Arctic cold, extremely cold.

Although you would be exaggerating to say this, I really think that this is the only way to express how I feel at this time.

Takasaka is my sister, and this is not the first time she has had an awkward relationship with me.

But this time, I don't know why I feel different from usual.

"I don't need you to care. ”

Kirino said.

Well, I can understand that Kirino, who is in adolescence, said this because of his desire for independence, and it must be, definitely not to hate me, it must be a problem of adolescence!

Despite this expectation, I felt that there seemed to be some emotion hidden under her cold gaze, which made me feel that it was not just a matter of puberty.

So, I tried to ask her.

"Kirino, I didn't offend you, did I?"

"Nope. ”

She replied to me succinctly, seemingly bothered to even add an adjective to the sentence.

"Hey, Kirino, what's wrong with you?"

Although she didn't say anything in her mouth, her attitude clearly told me that I had offended her inadvertently.

"Even if there is, it's not something that the most relaxed person like you can solve by staying at home all day and shouting. ”

It's too much, isn't that saying I'm a piece of shit?

Even if it's a clay man, it's three points of anger.,I was so looked down on by my sister that I was naturally angry.,

"At least it can help someone like you who didn't do well in elementary school. ”

"Now and in the future, I didn't need to, and my ranking in the last final exam was fourth in the county. ”

"And I don't need you to study without taking the entrance placement test, ah, what if you don't even take the exam like you?"

Kirino mercilessly exposed my scars, and the slightly sarcastic words made me feel very uncomfortable.

"Hey, I'm your brother!"

I don't know if it's my delusion, but the expression on Kirino's face seems to have become even colder.

"You know. ”

Such muffled words came out of her mouth.

"What are these words, I'm your brother...... thing"

I knew that the sarcastic words I had just spoken were a bit childish, so I tried to use a gentle tone to ease the tension now.

"You're my brother?"

Again, she used a tone that would make you fall into the ice cellar.

"No, it's not. ”

She denied her doubts.

"I don't have a dry guy brother like you, do I? Or are you still qualified to be my brother as a guy?"

She took a step forward and slipped her phone into my pocket.

"Get out. ”

My sister -

It's getting uncute.

……

The rain was pouring outside the window, and because of it, the sky became gloomy like the mood of the wind ta.

This rain can completely wash away my uncomfortable mood now.

Closing the curtains, I fell back on the bed.

To be honest, it's not like I haven't quarreled with my sister, but it's the first time I've been so depressed like today.

Bang bang bang -

“？！”

Who the hell is it, at a time like this.

It can't be Yuko, right?

I glanced at the phone lying on the table, and it still didn't respond when it was on standby.

Yuko hasn't called yet, so it shouldn't be her.

"Ah, I haven't called Yuko yet, so I'll apologize to her later......"

Bang bang bang -

The door was banged again.

"There's no one in the house except Kirino ......"

With that, I opened the locked wooden door.

Click.

“？！”

After focusing my eyes for a moment, my ordinary-looking brother appeared in my gaze.

"Kyosuke, why are you here?"

"What kind of attitude is this, you want to call me big brother!"

There was a look of dissatisfaction on his face, probably hoping that I would remember to call him big brother.

I'm twice as old as you, although I don't know how old I am......

Before I could reply, he walked straight into my room, pulled back my curtains, and spoke again.

"It's time to eat, don't hurry down. ”

I glanced up at the clock, and the hour hand was stopped at six o'clock.

It's been lying in the room for so long, I thought it had only been ten minutes......

I probably haven't eaten anything today except for crepes near noon and Coke in the afternoon.

But I don't have the desire to eat at all, and I guess my stomach can understand my current state as a master.

"I've eaten it. ”

If I had told him that I wasn't in the mood to eat, he would have asked why.

However, I don't want to talk to anyone about being looked down upon by my sister.

So I didn't hesitate to lie, but he didn't seem to believe my words.

Just sighed heavily.

"It's because of Kirino, right?"

“？！”

After seeing the look of surprise on my face for a moment, he seemed to understand the whole thing.

"Did you quarrel?"

“…… Alas. ”

If I don't make it clear, this nosy guy will probably annoy me to the point that I can't sleep.

"She said that a dry man like me is not qualified to be her brother. ”

Although I also know that this is not true, my heart will involuntarily become bitter.

"It's just that puberty has arrived.,Don't worry too much.,If you're past puberty.,Thinking about it, Kirino will probably feel so guilty that I apologize to you.。 ”

After listening to my summary words, he could only comfort me with such words when his relationship with Kirino had become cold earlier.

I didn't answer him, just looked out the window at the raindrops lapping against the window.

“…… You say, isn't the way I live my life very unbearable? ”

Perhaps because of Kirino's words today, I feel confused about whether or not to stick to the current way of life.

Is it really good to go on like this?

But I understand that I can't come up with the answer alone.

So, I confided in my big brother Kyosuke Takasaka, who I could trust, uneasily.

He was silent for a moment, as if pondering the best answer.

“…… It's a very unmotivated life, but if you like it, I'll support you. ”

Other words......

Do I need to make a change?

"Let's go down and eat. ”

After Kyosuke Takasaka, who expressed his unconditional support for me, finished speaking, he stepped down the stairs alone.

He probably knew I needed a little time to think about it.

……

After going downstairs, Daisuke Takasaka was already sitting upright on the chair next to the dining table.

He had the appearance of a rogue, and he stared at me with a stern gaze.

"When it's time to come down to eat, it's time to come down. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

In response to him, I sat down on the chair next to the table.

After the people in the house, including Kirino sat down, he nodded slightly to his current mother, Kano Takasaka, who looked helpless.

Then he let out a 'cough', and then let his deep voice fill the quiet living room.

"I have something to talk about today. ”

I was burying my head in curry and rice, and I raised my head because of his words.

"Kazeta. ”

I was a little dazed when I was named, I haven't done anything hurtful lately, have I?

As everyone watched, I still had the curry rice in my mouth that I hadn't swallowed, so I could only answer him in a muffled voice.

"Yes, I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Finish before you speak. ”

I swallowed the curry and sat upright, making a clear voice that pleased my father.

"Yes, I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Your mother and I decided to let you go out and live alone for a while. ”

I thought that I would be lucky in the morning and that I would be lucky the rest of the day, but I was silent at this moment.
