Stomach rumbling.

I have some regrets about running away from home.

But now if you go home alone......

I'd rather go hungry.

Really, Ye Yue, you idiot, you ran away from home without any money!

I started to complain about myself and pinched my cheek [viciously], hoping to teach me a lesson.

The night breeze was cold, but I couldn't do anything about it while sitting on the bench next to the vending machine.

Sister, where are you......

…… I miss you so much.

Curled up on the bench, my nose began to sour again for some unknown reason.

"Smack!"

With the sound of the cans being pulled open, the benches on the silent street suddenly sat on the benches except me.

Curious, I looked up at the other end of the bench.

He-

The big brother seen by the river in the evening was sitting there.

He was holding what appeared to be a jar of black coffee that had just been opened, and was now leaning back on a wooden bench.

There was a complicated look on his face, and I didn't know what type of thing he was thinking about at the moment.

Dissatisfaction, hesitation, bitterness......

He lifted the can of black coffee upwards and drank it in one gulp.

"It's so bitter. ”

…… I always feel that my big brother is a bit like an adult who drinks alcohol.

Tilting my head, I interrupted the thought of continuing to think that Big Brother was a bit like an adult who drank alcohol.

Not.

Now that I've met my big brother, I think I should say hello to him.

So, I raised my hand and whispered to him, "Big brother......"

My stomach was still rumbling, and I didn't have the strength to speak loudly.

Inexplicably, the big brother didn't look back at me calmly.

Instead, he looked stunned as if he was taken aback.

…… Hazuki, did you scare him?

The night wind blew fiercely, making me shrink back again.

Well, in this environment, it's normal to suddenly speak and scare people.

I pursed my lips and was about to say something to apologize, when I was stuffed into my stomach by my big brother's voice.

"It's scary, you guy. ”

He shook the can in his hand with a casual look.

I can't help but wonder if the look of astonishment he had just made was deliberately faked.

However, since the big brother didn't scold me, I thought that my apology would make the atmosphere even more strange.

So, after sticking out my tongue, I said to my big brother, "I didn't expect to scare big brother!"

Then, he stood up on the bench.

……

When I opened my eyes, my big brother was still in front of my eyes.

He propped his chin on one hand and tapped the keyboard with the other.

…… Typing with one hand, I feel that my big brother is so powerful.

The wind was still blowing outside the window, and the wires between the two poles were whining.

The wind is so strong.

Sister, they stayed at home, right?

I'm starting to worry about my sister.

What if she goes out tonight!

Although I knew that this idea was unrealistic, I couldn't help but think about it.

…… Why don't you give us a phone call and ask?

Well, my sister will worry about me, right? Such a strong wind and rain......

…… Not only my sister, but also my father and mother will be very worried about me.

And it was at this time that the phone rang suddenly.

I hurriedly took it out, and the name shown on it was my sister's name—

Hazuki Shimada.

Sister, you're really worried about me!

Just as I was about to answer with a happy smile, the screen of my phone suddenly dimmed.

…… No, there's no power?

What should I do now?

What a big idiot you are!

Wouldn't it be nice to call them earlier?! Why don't you call in anger?

Now what if my sister thinks I've had an accident and goes out to look for me in typhoon weather!

Just because I feel lonely, just because I've been left out a little bit.

Go home tomorrow and apologize!

I shouted out loud in my heart.

…… But now, I need to borrow the phone from my big brother and tell him what happened to me.

I took a deep breath.

Hazuki Shimada――

That is, I finally made up my mind.

Tell the big brother the real reason why he ran away from home, no longer bury the real reason, and no longer perfunctory the big brother with an excuse that is so clumsy that even children younger than Hazuki can see that it is a lie!

I!

Hazuki Shimada, who doesn't want to deceive his big brother.

Not only because of the gentle care of my big brother, but also because of my inner dissatisfaction and guilt for deceiving my big brother's reckless behavior.

"Big Brother ......"

He didn't look back at me, as if he hadn't heard what I had just said.

"Big brother!"

I raised my voice slightly, this time, big brother can always hear it, right?

“……”

Still haven't looked back.

I puffed out my mouth angrily, big brother, this was obviously deliberate.

Since my brother ignores me, then Ye Yue, I must let you ignore me!

I stood on tiptoe and didn't make a sound before approaching my big brother who was staring intently at the computer screen.

Then, with all my might, I shouted in his unsuspecting ear, "Big brother!"

"Hazuki has something to say to you!"

My voice was so loud that it far drowned out the sound of the TV and the tapping of the keyboard.

I think if the voice is so loud that the big brother pretends not to hear it, even he himself will feel uncomfortable.

Next, the big brother should turn his head and look at me helplessly, right?

Of course, that's just what I think.

Bang!

Unexpectedly, the big brother's movements did not match my conjecture at all.

He looked stunned as if he was frightened, then jerked away from his chair and stood up.

Due to the excessive movement, the chair fell to the floor with a crisp and piercing sound.

Later, when he looked back and saw me, his stunned expression was replaced by helplessness.

He sighed, then shook his head.

"What are you doing Ye Yue, you scared me. ”

…… Eh, it can't be that you really didn't hear Ye Yue speak just now, right?

Hazuki seems to have done something terrible......

You should apologize quickly!Otherwise, you'll be hated by your big brother!

I hurriedly grabbed my eldest brother's wrist and shook it vigorously, and there was an embarrassed smile on my cheeks: "I'm sorry, I thought it was my eldest brother and you didn't want to pay attention to me!"

Maybe it was because my apology worked, the eldest brother didn't blame me, he just touched my head very gently: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice Ye Yue talking to me just now, but Ye Yue, don't do it next time......"

"Hmm!"

I nodded very hard.

"So, what's going on, Hazuki?"

Without hesitation or uneasiness, I said to my eldest brother, "I want to call my sister and apologize to my eldest brother." ”

“…… Apologize?"

"I'm sorry big brother! Hazuki didn't run away from home because the cake was eaten. ”

Whether it's hated by the big brother, whether the big brother sighs or not, I have to keep talking.

"Hazuki deceived the big brother. ”

“？！”

"Ye Yue ran away from home because she wanted her mother, father, and important sister to stop being so cold to Ye Yue!"

……

PS1: I finally remembered what I wanted to PS, and I wanted to PS it last week, and the pictures I uploaded were all stretched and uploaded by myself, and there may be a sense of disobedience......

At the beginning, the image I was given was not the size I uploaded, so I had to adjust it myself, and the key was that I was in terms of resizing...... Well,Having said so much,I just want to say,If you think the picture is not good-looking,You can search for the name of the character on Baidu yourself.,If you want the original picture.,You can Aite me.。

PS2: After filling in the hole, I wanted to continue to write in the first person to eliminate the sense of disobedience, but I think it's about the same, and I still haven't written it down......

PS3: Regarding Hazuki's grade question, I started writing it because of the events of the previous year...... Now Ye Yue is only in the fourth grade of elementary school.
