"What, Kanako? No, no, no! What Jean didn't expect was that when he heard the proposal he put forward triumphantly, Ayase did not accept it with understanding, but kept shaking his head to express his opposition.

How could it not work? This should be your own initiative, right? Kazuya was stunned to look at Ayase, who didn't want to stay and directly vetoed his opinion, and felt a little headache at this sudden change in the world line.

"Why not? Well, I'll look for that magazine then, but believe me, Kanako and that Meruru are definitely exactly the same, you must know that there are very few people with natural red hair! And there are even fewer redheads that match the anime color of Mellulu! Kazuya defended with Ayase a little anxiously, "Besides, this is definitely the best gift for Kirino I can think of, but if it weren't for Kanako, I guess I wouldn't be able to win the previous winner, a little girl from a foreign country, who also has an absolute advantage in hair color or something." ”

"I haven't seen that anime, but I trust my brother's judgment!" Ayase shook her head and said, "But, what doesn't work just won't work!" On the contrary, brother, you don't have to be in such a hurry to tell me that you must Kanako or something? ”

Feeling the stubbornness of his sister's appearance at an inopportune time, Kazuya rolled his eyes, adjusted his emotions, and asked, "So, well, what is the reason why you are reluctant to let Kanako participate in this event?" ”

"I think that the preparation of gifts should be done by myself, and I should not let others get too involved." Ayase said with some slurring.

However, Kazuya scoffed at this answer, and if she didn't have any concerns, Ayase was the character who dared to tie Kanako directly to the cosplay venue and force her to play, and she would definitely not back down at this time because of this so-called "do your own thing" or something like that.

"Say it! What is it that makes you so resistant to finding Kanako? Have you had anything with her lately? Kazuya patted Ayase on the shoulder and asked in a deep voice.

"Really, nothing happened to Kanako and me!" Ayase's face looked like something had absolutely happened, but she still clung to what she said before, usually at this time, it was time for Ayase to make up her mind that she would never change her mind, and Ayase was also a little difficult to do in this state.

Sighing, Kazuya decided to use the last resort, he picked up his mobile phone and pretended to say, "That's no way, if there is a problem between you and Kanako, it will not just be a simple cosplay contest problem, it is a fundamental problem in the relationship between you and your friends, I think I need to understand the situation." Uh, like going to Kirino - it's okay, I'm not going to expose the cosplay competition. ”

"Please, brother, haven't you seen Kanako a few times? Don't care so much! Ayase stomped her feet anxiously as she ran up and hugged Kazuya's arm, preventing Kazuya from dialing, "Besides, you don't have to always get involved too much in matters between me and my friends, right?" ”

"Of course you don't care if you don't know, it's better to take care of it at this time!" Under normal circumstances, seeing Ayase's persistence, Kazuya would still compromise, but today's Kazuya exerted his cheeky spirit, which rarely appears, and bites this question and does not let go.

In the end, at Kazuya's insistence, Ayase still reluctantly spoke: "Well, just a few days ago, Kanako went to Kirino's house as a guest. ”

"That's normal, right? Then,Being a guest is also related to Kirino.,What does it have to do with you? ”

"However, Kanako, that guy actually said that Kirino's eldest brother is better than his brother! That's weird, isn't it? Although it is a bit rude to say that Kirino's eldest brother is a bit rude, he is indeed a very kind and gentle person, but it would be too strange to say that he is better than his brother! It's really weird! Presumably to emphasize, Ayase said the word "too strange" three times.

"Well, didn't you just compare the two of you - uh, what, you said she thinks I'm not as good as Kyosuke Takasaka?" Hearing the news, Kazuya grew his mouth and said incredulously, "What kind of joke is this, I'm worse than that guy in Takasaka, even if your evaluation is biased, you go and ask Kirino, Kirino must think I'm better than that guy in her family, right?" ”

Kazuya did intend to comfort Ayase at first, but, hearing what Ayase said about Kanako, he was indeed a little uneasy, after all, all along, although he didn't notice it, but a potential idea in Kazuya's heart has always been to avoid contact between Ayase and Kyosuke, and then, no matter what, at least be a man himself, to be stronger than Kyosuke, and he has always been so satisfied with it, but he didn't expect that his self-understanding was vetoed by a mere Kanako, This did make him a little dissatisfied.

"That's right!" Although she was a little surprised by Kazuya's unexpected reaction, Ayase continued, "So although I'm sorry for Kirino's eldest brother, I think I should still correct Kanako's impression." ”

"Well, no problem, this impression must be corrected!"

To be honest, Kazuya felt very depressed, although his previous meeting with Kanako did not seem to be pleasant, but in his impression, Kanako's impression of Kyosuke was also very bad at the beginning, after all, compared to his sister, Kyosuke's brilliance was still a notch worse. Therefore, it still makes Kanako very unhappy to have a lower evaluation of herself than the very ordinary Kyosuke Takasaka.

"Kanako, that guy, said this about my brother, 'Although it sounds very powerful, but after meeting me, I feel that it is not as powerful as I have heard at all, although I am tall, but my legs are a little bent outward-'"

"-That's called the outer eight characters, and by the way, the people who play football basically carry a little bit of it, which is a characteristic of the player, is it okay?"

"Well, then Kanako said that because of this shape of the legs, the image of the whole person is lowered by one layer. What's more, his temper is particularly bad—"

"--I'm still bad-tempered?" Kazuya shouted dissatisfiedly, "It's ridiculous that she doesn't review her bad character much and complains about my temper, right?" ”

"In addition, the whole person does not have the temperament of a prince, but he looks very proud and self-righteous, and he always feels that he can do everything, even if you can really do these things well, it looks too proud-" Looking at Kazuya's fierce reaction, Ayase's voice involuntarily relaxed, she was also worried that these words would make Kazuya too stimulated.

"What did I say? What did I say? Kazuya raised her head with a bit of an angry smile, grinded her teeth, and said, "This is basically talking about herself, obviously she can't do anything well many times, but she still thinks she is very powerful." ”

Remembering Kanako's image of being proudly lifted to the sky when she won Meruru's cosplay match, Kazuya couldn't help but feel that this guy really dared to evaluate herself with this kind of evaluation, and the whole situation was like slapping herself in the face.

"Say? Since she evaluated me like this, what did she say of Kirino's eldest brother? Relieved, Kazuya asked.

"Well, although Kanako's evaluation of Kirino's eldest brother doesn't seem to be very good!" Ayase blinked and said, "Probably not as eye-catching as Kirino at all, too ordinary or something." ”

"--There must be a 'but' next, a 'but' compared to mine." Kazuya snorted and said.

At first, it was Ayase who first started complaining about this topic, but slowly, the topic seemed to become more tangled with Kazuya. This made Ayase obviously a lot more cautious when speaking.

"Well, what Kanako said is that although Kirino's eldest brother is very ordinary, he is very gentle, and he doesn't lose his temper with her very much-"

"-Oh, if she had the same attitude she had on the first day she saw me, I wouldn't believe that fellow would not have lost her temper with her."

"-Because I realize that I'm ordinary, I don't seem to be so self-righteous-"

"-Hehe, if it weren't for my comparison, then I think her evaluation of the other party is 'timid, dare not take responsibility', right?"

"-Well, and I seem to care about my family-"

"- This guy!" Seeing that Ayase finally said the last sentence, Kazuya exhaled deeply, and then looked into Ayase's eyes, "Well, Ayase, my good sister, so what did you say to Kanako in the end?" ”

"Well, so I told Kanako that it was all a prejudice of Kanako who didn't understand her brother's real situation, and I hope she can correct these thoughts a little." Ayase nodded and said.

"And then?"

"She stubbornly disagrees.,Say something that you have to show it to her brother in person before she can admit that she is prejudiced against her brother or something.,At this time, even Kirino added a few more words.,Help my brother say good things or something.,But Kanako is very stubborn.。 Ayase said with a headache.

"That kind of guy, I can guess that she will be in this state."

"Then, in the end, I couldn't convince Kanako, and Kanako never recognized her brother's goodness, and I haven't been in a very good mood in the last two days, so, that, so," Ayase said with an embarrassed expression.

"So you quarreled with her?"

"Well, that's worse than a fight," Ayase blushed and said, "I'll just tell her that if she's so stubborn any longer, I'll ignore her." ”

"Well, it's broken!"

"Well, it's not a breakup," Ayase blushed and said, "It's either a breakup, it's just that she won't talk until Kanako admits her mistake, that's pretty much it." Well, that, brother, I know it's strange not to talk to her because of this kind of thing, but this is a quarrel between girls, oh, girls, other girls are never allowed to say that the person they like is bad! Well, I just like my brother, so Kanako must not speak ill of her brother! ”

When Ayase said this, it was with a sense of apprehension and some excitement. She originally thought that at her age, it was a shame to say the word "like" to her brother, but through this opportunity, she could say "like" openly. Of course, what exactly does "like" mean here, Ayase doesn't know, or rather, she doesn't seem to figure it out. Even, when she said this, she even had a somewhat strange expectation, if Kazuya misunderstood this word, then she didn't know what mood she would have at that time.

However, just as she didn't hate the kind of unexpected intimate contact with Kazuya the day before and Kazuya's some transgressions, and even a little excited, Ayase felt that if Kazuya really misunderstood, her mood would definitely not be annoying.

It's a pity that Kazuya's attention seems to have been completely focused on Kanako's attack on herself and Ayase's response.

"Whether it's a broken friendship or not, but what I must say is, Ayase," Kazuya looked at Ayase who was looking at him a little embarrassed, and said seriously, "You did a good job this time, and you can bear my attack, but I definitely can't agree with this purposeless attack of mine!" ”

"Ah, that's it, then I'm relieved, I thought that saying this kind of thing would make my brother laugh!" Ayase nodded embarrassedly, revealing a mixed expression of disappointment and happiness.

However, Kazuya didn't notice the disappointed side of Ayase. He just lowered his head and urgently remembered the backup plan.

"Well, so in order not to give in to Kanako, you really can't take the initiative to ask her for help, but it's not easy to really find a cosplayer who is stronger than Brigitte's British girl!" Dragging his chin, Kazuya thought seriously.

"Well, that, although I don't know what that British girl looks like, but I still have confidence in my appearance, so, if I really can't do it, I can do it myself." Ayase said with some hesitation, "If that gift is really Kirino likes." ”

"No way!" Kazuya didn't think about it, and categorically vetoed.

Let's not talk about the probability of Ayase's appearance, let your sister dress like that kind of revealing and be watched by a group of dead houses? Don't be stupid!

"Well, it looks like we have to think of a way! It's really hard to find a backup plan other than Kanako! Kazuya patted his head with a bit of a headache.
