"That...... Aragaki san~" Long Er stepped forward and said tentatively.

"Ah~ It's a remnant...... Brother~Why are you here~ By the way, call me Ayase~" Ayase is still so modest and polite when there are outsiders. Then he took a look at Kirino and speculated, "Is my brother and Kirino together...... Is it dating? ”

"Hey! How did you come up with the word dating~ Is it true that in your heart, I am still the one who has made peace with my sister~ ? And ah~ Your first reaction when you saw me just now was to call me a scumbag! You're definitely going to call me a scumbag! ”

At this time, Long Er really complained loudly to Ayase like this. But...... looked at the pitiful Kirino on the side. No matter how you think about it, you can't do this~~ Now you can only make a mistake and make a mistake~!

"Ah~ probably maybe, it should be a lot worse~~" Long Er replied vaguely.

"What! Just...... No, this kind of thing! Kirino was explaining in a panic.

"I said~ At this time, Kirino is so sensitive, it's really good~ And I always feel hurt when you explain so quickly~~" Long Er burst into tears at this time. "Let's stop Kirino first~ Don't say anything~" Long Er blinked quickly at Kirino . It's like some code word. He was still talking.

"Why don't you just go out with your brother to buy something? What are you ashamed of~" Basically, it's okay for Kirino to say nothing anymore. But ah......

"What are you doing~~ Eyes into the sand?" Kirino said to Long'er with a question mark on his head.

Hey, hey!! Didn't you say that everyone in Area 11 would know Morse code or something? Why do I use Morse code to wink, Kirino doesn't understand anything! Long'er's heart is now lying in a big groove~ But looking at Ayase's increasingly suspicious look. Long'er decided that this guy Kirino is basically unreliable now~ It's better to rely on yourself.

So he said a little toughly to Ayase. "That~ Kirino and I have some things right now~ we need to go home right away. If you can, the next time you and Kirino meet, can you have a good chat? ”

"Oh~En~" Ayase frowned a little, looking like she didn't quite believe Long'er's words...... It's not right, it should be that Long'er doesn't believe it very much. So he asked Kirino next to Long'er, "Is that so?" ”

"Ah...... Yes. Here's what it looks like! "Rang for a moment," Kirino replied.

Long Er also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no omission.

"Since that's the case, then there's no way to do it~" Ayase looked a little regretful.

Long Er and Kirino glanced at each other, thinking that they could finally escape from this cave. The two were also ready to walk quickly.

"Wait a minute!" Ayase suddenly shouted.

"Also...... Anything else? At this time, Kirino felt like she was going to cry~

"I was very concerned just now, are those two of your companions?" Ayase said as he pointed behind Kirino and Ryu'er.

Kirino and Ryu'er turned around, and sure enough, Black Cat and Saori were still standing a few steps behind them, as if they were watching something. If these two people change into very ordinary clothes, Kirino will only introduce them to the two of them without caring about it~ But now. A black cat dressed in a gothic outfit and two people dressed in ancient otaku clothes, Kirino really doesn't know what to say now.

And I was also shouting in my heart, "I won't be debunked because of these two people in the end~"

Long'er is also in a dilemma at this time, and today because of his own call, he asked Saori and the black cat to help Kirino create summer memories or something. If Kirino directly denied it at this time. Not only herself, but Long Er herself will be embarrassed to meet these two people in the future.

And at this time, Saori was quite a little flattering and ready to introduce herself. It looks like I want to meet new people. The black cat watched quietly for a while. Then the wind said lightly to Saori.

"It looks like something went wrong.,Let's go~5:30 The anime is about to start.。 Today is a time of tension. After saying that, he walked away. And Saori looked at the black cat, and looked at Kirino here. In the end, I decided to follow the black cat. The black cat that took the first step also specially bypassed, and it took a long circle to leave Kirino here.

While Long'er was secretly grateful to the black cat, he also had to have a new understanding of the black cat.

If you look at the fire, you can see through people's hearts.

It seems that it is not easy to approach, but in fact, it is like the crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, although there is a sense of arrogance and coldness. But in the hazy moonlight, there is a trace of watery tenderness~

Although there are some little tsunderes ~ or to die to save face. This last sentence is really ruining the mood~ but it's funny~

Long'er's appreciation for the black cat was already on the page at this moment. It's a pity that some of the good moods just started were ruined by the next two.

"What's going on? Those people...... Dressed so well...... Yes, right. Ayase looked a little surprised.

"Who! Who knows~ those disgusting guys. "I really don't know what kind of mood Kirino is in when he says this.

However, Long'er was a little bad at this moment. There is an urge to go back with the black cats. But......

looked at Kirino with a paper bag hand trembling a little. Long Er was a little unbearable. Presumably she reacted to it herself, and she was disgusted by herself. But ...... "Ryu'er looked at Ayase" is also for Ayase~ It seems that in order not to lose this friend, Kirino is also desperately forcing himself. ”

Long Er sighed in her heart.

"For now, I can only stay and continue to deal with this situation with Kirino. Let's deal with it casually and leave~"

Long Er, who had made a decision, was just about to say goodbye, but he didn't expect it......

"Anyway, it's really strange here today~ I just saw a lot of strangely dressed people. There are also animated buses. Is there anything going on here today? Ayase said strangely.

"Ah...... Yes!! I didn't know it was Natsu Comi today," Kirino replied in a panic.

Long Er listened to this from the sidelines, and almost fell down in front of him. Although I managed to hold on to it. There was also a wave of vertigo in my head.

"Stupid? You're so stupid! Are you my legendary stupid sister!! ”

"Natsu Comi? Be...... What......" Ayase asked

Really! So here's the problem. How do you want to answer~ Long Er didn't know how to answer this on the side.

"No...... I don't know very well~ It may be a sale...... Doujinshi ...... Something about it~"

Kiri's answer to cover up also made Long'er drunk~

"Stabbing system?!"

"Woo~~"

Long Er doesn't know how to make up for this kind of big mistake. There seems to be no other way than to pray that Ayase girl is natural at this time. The problem is that this kind of thing is impossible no matter how you think about it~

Looking at Kirino who was getting more and more flustered, Ayase also began to focus on the paper bag that Kirino was carrying. Interpret the text above. And it's one by one. It seems that the countdown to the revelation of the truth has also begun.

The dragon who sighed, now the only way is to——――

"I'm sorry, but we're really in a hurry right now. Then get in touch next time! As he spoke, the dragon pulled the six gods and the ownerless Kirino . Kirino also hurriedly responded to Ayase. "That'...... That's it. I'll go first. Ayase! ”

It's about escaping hellish places. Pity......

"Wait a minute!!" A thunderous voice rang out from behind him.

Ayase stepped forward and grabbed Kirino's hand.

"Aya...... Ayase: "Kirino was also a little frightened by this.

"Kirino! Why are you running away! Ayase asked in a cold voice.

"No...... Nope!! ”

"Liar...... "Liar" began to whisper, and then-

"Liar! Deceitful! Lie to deceive people, deceive people! Deceitful! …… Don't lie to me! …… Didn't you run away? Aren't you running away? …… Why lie to me! Ayase's voice slowly grew louder, and finally it was like a stormy wave. The sentence is as chilling as the nightmare curse.

Long Er forced himself to suppress the chill that came from his tailbone. Now in this situation, I can't come forward by myself~

stepped forward to comfort. "Ayase, listen to me......"

"It's noisy! You scum! ”

Ayase's eyes didn't drift over, and she looked at Kirino blankly. In his mouth, he reprimanded Long'er. It seems that he doesn't even want to pay attention to the dragon's movements for a moment.

"Damn! This little girl! Long'er was secretly unhappy, although she had been enduring the girl. But that doesn't mean you don't have a temper! Long Er also yelled at Ayase as soon as he was ruthless.

"Ayase! You give me about the same. It's normal for friends to have a secret or two! Besides, Kirino was scared by you. And you're clutching too hard! ”

"Huh?" Because of this roar, Ayase also glanced at Long'er slightly, and then looked at Kirino 's somewhat pale face, and Kirino 's hand that was caught red by himself. A whole look. Let go of your hands.

The mood seems to have calmed down. Then he also returned to the gentle touch and said.

"I'm sorry~ Kirino I don't want this, it's just that I thought Kirino would deceive me...... Some can't be controlled. ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Kirino replied bitterly.

"It's too~ There are indeed one or two secrets between friends." There was not the slightest hint of sarcasm, but so agreed.

“…… However, I want to be Kirino's power. Because...... Kirino has always been a ...... who has helped me like this. Always, always, always. My job as a model is as a senior, as a classmate at school - Kirino has been supporting me for the past few years."

Ayase said so sincerely. No selfishness, no interests. It's just my own voice.

But the more this is the case, the more obvious Long'er's bad premonition becomes.

"Kirino has something to hide from me, and he doesn't want to tell me, I'll know when I see it. However, only this time, I felt that I could not sit idly by no matter what. A woman's intuition -- it may be exaggerated. But I have a bad premonition...... Can't just leave it alone."

Ayase said as she pulled her hair.

"Woo~" has no words at all. It can be said that both of our brothers and sisters have been treated for a second by Ayase's big move~

"What's in that paper bag?"

And then is it really this? This is the most critical question.

“…… ComicMarket…… What about it?"

Ayase read out the name of the event written on the paper bag in disgust.

The dreary air seemed to reach its highest point. Click, click, only the sound of rain drops gradually accelerates in my ears. Soon-.

Sa-, the rain poured down. It was so heavy that it could be called heavy rain.

Kirino notices that the paper bag is wet from the rain. Immediately moved towards the place where there was an eaves - but once again the hand was caught.

"Where do you want to go! Is that more important than what was just said......!? Ayase asked unceremoniously.

「――！」

Kirino's spirit, at this time, has been quite persecuted. In hindsight, there must have been a lot of other things, and I was trying to figure out what to do. But

"Let go of me!"

Kirino simply shook off his friend's hand. She certainly didn't mean that, but it looked like she was sternly refused.

That's what Ayase thought. His face turned pale.

"Kirino ......!?"

Ayase grabbed the paper bag with her hand that had been shaken off, as if looking for support.

Shhh When I noticed a hollow sound in my ears, the situation had become irreparable.

"Ahh

Kirino shouted as she turned around. The communication between the two just now caused the bottom of the paper bag to crack. The doujinshi that Kirino bought,All of them fell to the ground without a glimpse of it.。 Seeing these doujinshi,Miserable wet by the rain.。

A chill from the heart of the dragon rose like this

- She was so happy to buy the ....... Without ...... It's ...... like that.

Kirino had completely fallen into a state of inability to think, and stood there with a blue face.

With terrifying and cold eyes, Ayase looked at the doujinshi who landed at his feet......

「！」

Slowly, pick up a copy of Siscalv's doujinshi. There was no change in his expression, just his eyes widened.

Whoa, whoa...... Turning the wet pages, he said tremblingly.

"Rest assured...... bar. I'm never going to tell anyone about it. Someone like you, who—...... Will be for ...... Want to hide this kind of thing...... He didn't hesitate to lie to me, this kind of thing...... Such a ridiculous thing...... I don't think everybody would believe ...... -- it's just."

Ayase's voice stopped, not trembling. Announced in a cold voice that chilled our hearts.

“…… I'm sorry. I will not be able to continue to get along with such people in the future. …… Takasaka-san. Please, even at school, please don't talk to me-"

As soon as the hand holding the doujinshi loosened, the doujinshi slipped to the ground with gravity. There was a muffled sound. And Ayase didn't look at Kirino and Ryu'er anymore, and turned to leave.

Leaving the two alone, drenched in the rain that cooled down for the end of summer.

This rain is so cold~~ It's so cold that people feel like their hearts are going to be frozen in half~~

Long Er put the same people on the ground, one by one, into his backpack. Then he took off his coat and put it on Kirino's head.

Reached out and touched the top of Kirino's head. Said softly. "Let's go home~"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the end, Aozora didn't change anything, or it couldn't change. But-

There is separation, and there is naturally reunion. The light after the reunion will also shine even brighter. I can only hope that at that moment, the blue sky can be depicted more beautiful~

In the end~~ It's still a variety of requests~ Recommendation votes~ Evaluation votes~ Rewards~ Let's all come!!

I finally finished writing it before 10 o'clock, and I had to upload it. It's just a bit of a mother's tsundere, and there is no uploading it all of a sudden. It's always good now~ Well, I hope everyone is satisfied with it~
