"—Knock knock. ”

Hearing a knock on the door, Xia You, who was about to code words, paused. He looked back and saw that it was Ayase.

She stood by the door and watched. The pajamas were thin, the black hair hung down like a waterfall, the small hands were half-tucked into the sleeves of the jacket, only the fingertips were exposed, and the plush indoor shoes were stepped on barefoot. That appearance looks like a little white rabbit and is as close as a person.

"Brother, do you have a dictionary here, lend me a dictionary? Ahh

While talking affectionately about Ayase, he walked into the house. It wasn't until she found that the computer in front of Xia You was still on that she realized something. There was a hint of apology and inquiry in the slender voice.

"Nope. I've already written it, and I'll just change it a little bit and leave it to the editor. ”

Turning the computer chair slightly, Natsuyu smiled and shook his head to tell Ayase not to care. Then he pointed to the mahogany bookcase resting on the side of the room and said casually.

"The dictionaries are all in the third compartment of the bookcase, Ayase, you can take it yourself. ”

"Well, okay. ”

After nodding obediently, Ayase opened the bookcase window to find the dictionary she wanted, and then hugged it in her arms. However, she didn't rush back to the room, but looked at Xia You and asked thoughtfully.

"By the way, brother, are you hungry? Do you want me to make you some supper?"

"Hmm—no. It's almost time to rest now, and if you eat a late-night snack, you won't be able to sleep. ”

After thinking about it, Xia You waved his hand and declined.

Also, at dinner, Ayase ate a little too much because he tried to make a dish that he hadn't made before tonight, and it was super delicious. It's still pretty strong.

"-Compared to this, Ayase, would you like to sit down and talk?"

"Okay. ”

Ayase nodded without hesitation about this proposal. The little face raised a cute smile, and the tone was cheerful.

Ayase who came to Xia You's room not only wanted to borrow a dictionary from him to use it, but also wanted to talk to him more. Otherwise, just use the electronic dictionary software in your mobile phone.

"Come here, then. ”

Although the room is very spacious, Xia You does not have the habit of preparing other chairs except for a personal computer chair. But at the moment, he didn't go to the first floor to move, but turned sideways to give up part of his position and motioned for Ayase to sit down.

And Ayase wasn't shy about refusing it. She walked over without any hesitation, and then sat down with Xia You's clothes.

When she landed, a warm, good-smelling smell slowly overflowed that always made her feel very reassured.

That's the breath that belongs to my brother.

Being close to Natsuyu like this made Ayase feel very nostalgic. In the past, when they were still living in that old apartment, the two of them often sat on the sofa together after dinner and watched Japanese dramas.

"Ayase, the weather has been getting cooler lately, so you should at least add an extra coat after taking a shower. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold. ”

Noticing that his sister was wearing a pajamas, which were still very thin, and she didn't even wear socks, Xia You couldn't help but remind.

"yes, I see. But I'm not cold at all. It's true. ”

First nodded obediently, Ayase suddenly changed her words and grinned. She glanced up at Xia You, her eyes were clearly full of joy. Even the calves couldn't help but sway.

"It's warm to stay with my brother. ”

“！”

Hearing this, Xia You, who is a heavy sister control, was naturally provoked. The heart sped up a little. He shook his head with a smile that you can't help but not nag about it anymore.

"Hey, brother, didn't you just publish it not long ago? Why do you have to hand in a new one so soon?"

Looking at the lines of text on the computer screen, remembering what Xia Yu had just said, Ayase tilted her head and asked puzzled.

"This one is not the same as that. I wrote these manuscripts for the essay contest. ”

Natsuyu explained, and briefly mentioned that he was recommended by Machida Enko to participate in the mid-length grand prize on behalf of Kadokawa Bunko.

"That's right. ”

Although Ayase doesn't know much about this, the mid-length awards are one of the top awards in the industry after all, and the judges are all very famous writers, so she has heard of it somewhat.

This also made her admire her brother more and more. Not only did he play the piano so well and won all the major awards, but now he can still do well in another field.

The eyes that stared at Xia You were full of brilliance and meaning.

admiration, worship, admiration......

"My brother is amazing. ”

"Hehe, it's nothing. But then again, it's hard to say whether I'll win the award or not. After all, the other contestants are really powerful, and the judges are very strict. ”

Listening to his sister's beautiful words, Xia You first smiled proudly, and then changed his words, spread his hands and said a little bottomlessly.

"I'm sure my brother will be fine!"

In contrast, Ayase, who had not read the content, was more confident, and shook his small fist to encourage him.

After a pause, as if remembering something, she looked at the lines of text on the screen and asked.

"Now, brother, can you read this too?"

"Well, of course. But there's a lot of content.,And it's late tonight, so don't watch it.,I'll send it to your line later.,I'll watch it tomorrow.。 ”

glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock, so Xia You said.

And Ayase didn't object, nodding obediently.

"Good. ”

Then about some interesting things that happened in the school today, or some trivial things that happened among people in the club, the two chatted to kill time.

Chatting and chatting, Ayase subconsciously forgot the purpose of borrowing the dictionary to write homework at the beginning, and was completely immersed in chatting with her brother. It wasn't until she was on the way that she suddenly remembered something.

Immediately, Ayase looked serious with a small face, and said to Xia You seriously.

"-Brother, I want to reward you too!"

"Huh?

Xia You was a little confused when he heard this.

After Ayase explained a little, he finally understood and couldn't laugh or cry. It turned out that it was evening, and Megumi Kato told Ayase about the past.

- During the online video conference, Yukatsugaoka Shiyu was the first to mention that as a reward for club activities, Xia Yu should meet everyone's requirements.

"Forget about the others, Ayase, whether you have a reward or not, it's the same. Just say when have I ever refused your request?"

"It's different, and I want to be rewarded like everyone else. ”

Ayase flattened her mouth and shook her head stubbornly.

In the face of her sister's coquettishness, Xia You's instinct as a sister control had another attack and he couldn't resist at all, so he could only nod his head funny, and even said okay, okay.

"Then Ayase, what do you want me to ask you for?"

"Hmm-what are you waiting for, brother, come to my house. Mom and Dad want to see you. ”

After all, it was a reward that was coaxed by willfulness, and Ayase didn't deliberately make any difficult requests. After thinking about it, she raised a cute smile and said.

"Well, no problem. ”

After nodding his head in agreement, Xia You was a little funny, thinking that he would just say such a simple thing, he would not refuse at all.

However, Xia You thought about it, and he seemed to have agreed too hastily. After all, his uncle, Mr. Aragaki, is a notoriously heavy daughter.

As a prefectural councilor, even if he is usually busy with work, he will personally drive Ayase home whenever she has a shooting job, and he almost can't wait to hold Ayase in the palm of his hand and take care of her.

Just thinking about it was to let his uncle know that he had almost arched the cabbage he had worked so hard to grow, and he was only one step away from eating it up, Xia You couldn't help but shiver.

‘…… Uh, I'm not going to be hammered to death, am I?'

When Xia You was thinking about these things, coincidentally, Ayase also happened to be thinking about it, so she couldn't help but blush and snort lightly.

"Brother, are you thinking of something strange?"

After all, he is a veteran driver who has been through a hundred battles, Xia You denied it without blushing and heartbeat, and tried to beat a rake.

"No, it's Ayase, you're thinking about something strange, right?"

"People... My brother is a big fool! a big fool! a big pervert! I ignore you!"

Ayase, who had always been thin and shy, could hear such words, and her face was flushed, and her cheeks rose a thick red. She threw off the sentence in a huff, stomped her foot, and prepared to go out.

Seeing this, Xia You's first thought was not to dissuade but to catch a glimpse of the dictionary on the table, so he shouted.

"Ayase, you forgot to take the dictionary. ”

“！”

Hearing this, Ayase paused, and then she quickly turned around and walked back, snatching the dictionary from Xia You's hand with a look of shame before leaving the room.

At the right time, Rita, who came out of the real white room, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but come to Xia You's room and inquire curiously.

She had a happy look on her face.

"What's wrong? Angered Ayase?"

"Well, her off. ”

Xia You smiled and nodded, and regretted it a little in his heart.

Judging from the good atmosphere before, if it hadn't been like this just now, there was a chance that he would have coaxed Ayase to stay and sleep together. Even if you don't do anything, it's not bad to have a soft girl as a pillow.

However......

It's officially blown up.

'Ah, the big failure!'

But Xia You didn't frustrate for long. He wasn't a man who was prone to sperm, and he quickly put that regret behind him.

After going to Mashiro's room with Rita to check the results of the two of them for the night's game, Natsuyu returned to the room and quickly revised the original manuscript of "The Shape of Sound" and sent it to Machida Enko.

Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock and he had to go to school tomorrow, he urged Mashiro and Rita to brush their teeth quickly and not stay up late.

After the two girls finished washing up and went back to the room to sleep, Xia You quickly brushed her teeth and went to bed.

…

(Ah, it seems that even if you are busy, it is still necessary to keep updating every day, and I forgot how to code words after a while...... This chapter is not written satisfactorily, Orz)

(It's great to be able to go home after the exam this week)
