Recently, Kazuya has been worried about Ayase's situation for a while, and it makes sense that although compared to before, Ayase's mood changes and fluctuations have decreased, but, compared to the kind of changes that can be seen clearly in the other party's emotions in the past, the current idea of choosing to remain quiet many times, or solving it alone, or enduring alone, is actually more uncomfortable.

If you don't know, you can refer to Kato's situation, Kazuya always thinks that talking to Kato is the easiest, but it is also the most difficult to figure out what the other person means, because the face that lacks expression changes can never give people any other information.

Although Ayase is not in Kato's situation, many times he is not angry when he should be angry, and he is not hysterical when he should be hysterical, which makes Kazuya seem uneasy.

For example, just like just now, if it was Ayase before who heard such an evaluation from herself, it must be inevitable that she would be blackened. However, the current Ayase will only lower his head and leave the space without saying a word, Kazuya and Eiri, and even, Kazuya knows that when he gets home, Ayase's expression will be as if nothing happened just now.

Ever since he was with Eiri Riri, not only was Kazuya himself very careful to soothe Ayase's emotions, but he could also see that Ayase was always restraining his emotions, and if it was any other time, Kazuya would also take the initiative to ask Ayase to burst out of his hidden mood until it was completely resolved. However, on the issue of how to deal with the relationship between his sister who has always been doted on and his girlfriend, and judging the importance of the two, Kazuya still feels that he is still a little powerless, so he has to always be vigilant and calm Ayase before she shows signs of collapse.

For example, when he came home, in addition to his own parents, who unexpectedly showed up at home on time to finish eating, Ayase, who had already claimed to have finished dinner early and hid back in his room.

And what followed was the reprimand of his parents.

"Kazuya, the relationship between your brother and sister has always been very good, so your mother and I are also very relieved." Hirosuke Aragaki, who has the status of a councilor, rarely eats at home after Ayase and Kazuya slowly mature, and this time he rarely goes home for dinner, and he encounters a situation where his daughter seems to be angry with his son, which also makes him a little uncomfortable, "So, can you explain?" What the hell did you do to Ayase? I'm sure you won't bully her, but when I asked her why she couldn't eat today, she obviously looked like she wanted to avoid you. ”

"Well, I really didn't do anything!" Kazuya explained with a smile on his face that at this time, he could only try to get by, after all, it was a big scandal to let his parents know that the awkward emotions between their son and daughter were due to ambiguous reasons!

"You've been with the Spencer girls lately, haven't you? That girl is a good girl," looking at Kazuya, who obviously didn't tell the truth, but definitely didn't plan to tell the truth, Kosuke shook his head, although there have been some minor problems recently, but overall, Kazuya has been reassuring since he was a child, looking at his son's situation, he can't help but worry a little about whether his education is too lenient for him, "Of course, it's your freedom to fall in love, and I won't stop it, but sometimes your performance is too high-profile?" ”

Kazuya stuck out his tongue, he knew that his father was referring to the thing he did on the court a few weeks ago, indeed, this kind of thing is a very romantic and normal thing for a professional athlete, but, for a high school student, it is still a little early, especially for the Aragaki family, who pays attention to social image and social status, his somewhat flamboyant approach is probably still a little dissatisfied with his father, right?

"Actually, you have to express your feelings in that way, I can understand it, you young people will always have that desire to behave, but you have to remember that even if you are in love, you can't ignore the feelings of your family!" Kosuke Aragaki said earnestly, "The deterioration of the relationship with Ayase was after falling in love with the girl from the Spencer family, right?" Did you ignore her feelings after that? I don't know exactly how you fall in love, for example, Ayase habitually prepares a bento for you, will you refuse because your girlfriend wants to do it for you? ”

"Uh, no!" And I can't help but admire my father's brain hole as a middle-aged person, or that people who do politics should have this strong ability to create facts to discredit their political enemies?

"Well, it seems that you didn't bring the bento that Ayase made for you today, right?"

"Well, that's just a coincidence!"

"I hope it's just a coincidence, or maybe when you were on the phone with your girlfriend, you handled it very roughly because Ayase was looking for something with you?"

"No, Dad!" Kazuya said helplessly, "And even if there is, these are small things, if Ayase will make trouble because of this kind of thing, then she won't be Ayase anymore - by the way, do you think of these things because you are a daughter!" ”

"What is this saying? It's like the kind of otaku that people say, and if you become such a person, then it's no wonder that Ayase is angry with you! ”

"Hey, Daddy, don't you know the Spencers? Do you know that the people in that family are all this kind of people? Kazuya secretly complained in his heart, of course, he still didn't dare to talk back to his father.

"All in all, if you anger your sister, you have to take responsibility. We can grudgingly accept a little sloppiness towards me and your mother, but your sister has been very dependent on you since she was a child, don't forget your family just because you have a girlfriend, understand! Finally, as if to make a final summary, Kosuke Aragaki nodded heavily.

At that moment, Kazuya felt the momentum of his father as a councilor, and he subconsciously nodded his head and replied, "Okay, I see." ”

"Well, so, let's go and apologize to Ayase! I don't know what's going on, but your attitude has to be made - of course, if Ayase keeps losing her temper, it's not forgivable, but you, as a man, should apologize first, understand? ”

"Got it!" Kazuya raised his hand heavily, and at the same time sighed helplessly in his heart-

Dividing line-

That's right, Kazuya and Ayase are very clear that the two are definitely not making trouble with each other now, the current state of the two is an embarrassment, and they don't know how to face each other, with the kind of cheeky posture that Kazuya used to have, in the face of this situation, his general approach is to pretend that nothing has happened and get by. In fact, there have been a few accidents with Ayase before, and this is what he did, and this method of dealing with it actually works, and Ayase didn't pursue the accident after that.

It's just that this time, looking at Ayase's posture, it seems that this method has encountered a little trouble.

"However, I can't just say it, if I say something like 'I'm sorry Ayase I shouldn't have done anything to you' or 'I'm sorry Ayase I shouldn't have been in heat with my sister', it will definitely make things worse!" Kazuya, who was pacing outside Ayase's room for a long time, held his head and thought carefully about the plan, "However, if it's a pure cold treatment, this level is probably not passable, so you should consider taking the initiative to bring up other topics, and then focus on other places, then it is estimated that it will be better." ”

"Well, then it's decided!" Kazuya nodded, understanding what he should do, "That is, hurry up and bring up the matter of Mei Lulu's cosplay contest." ”

Thinking so, Kazuya knocked on Ayase's door: "Ayase? ”

"Brother? I'm feeling a little unwell. Ayase's voice was a little muffled, but this answer was also expected by Kazuya.

"Well, it'll be fine in a while, it's the thing you mentioned about the gift to Kirino before, I already have some preliminary ideas, and it seems that Kirino himself will never be able to get this gift." Kazuya said calmly.

And a long time after his words passed, an uncertain voice came from Ayase's room: "Well, okay, then you can come in and talk about it?" ”

Kazuya pushed open the door of Ayase's room, not only did she feel a little emotionally worthy of being her sister, but even in a poor mental state, there was no sign of messiness in the room, and the only thing that could be called chaotic was the open homework book on the desk but not much writing. Neat and fresh, it also has a girly unique fragrance and taste.

Kazuya doesn't even remember the last time he entered Ayase's room, and compared to Ayase's ability to enter his room from time to time, I don't know when I began to consciously avoid this somewhat transgressive contact with Ayase - that being said, there are always some surprises that make Kazuya smile bitterly. Of course,This kind of deliberate avoidance of cross-border behavior,It's not Ayase's request.,But Kazuya took the initiative.,Even,The goal of this behavior,Is it the so-called giving his sister a private space.,Growing up with self-knowledge.,Or Kazuya himself deliberately suppressed and avoided.,It's really unclear.。

Compared to the tidy room, the most untidy person in this room is Ayase himself, who usually has always been very soft and beautiful with long hair, but now it is a little messy on his shoulders, and his body is no longer a school uniform, but he has changed into his usual pajamas, and Ayase, whose face is a little complicated, hugging his knees, is sitting on his bed in a daze.

"Well, I'm sorry, Ayase is a little unsightly now!" Seeing Kazuya come in, Ayase still subconsciously grabbed her hair and wanted to straighten her long hair, but after realizing that it was futile in a short period of time, she could only smile reluctantly and express her apologies.

"Well, it's okay, Ayase is beautiful at all times!" Kazuya replied subconsciously, and then, he felt that something was wrong with him saying this. Although it's the usual normal routine of praising his sister.,But,Speaking out at this time,And always feel as if you have ulterior motives.。

"Uh-" Ayase was stunned for a moment, and then her face suddenly turned red, apparently realizing that she might have other meanings of the sentence as well.

So, inexplicably, a pink atmosphere shrouded the brother and sister again, and, because the two are now in a smaller space, this atmosphere is easier for people to indulge in.

"Ahem!" Kazuya forcibly coughed, emptied some of the distractions of his alarm clock, and continued, "Well, that, I just said, it's about Kirino's gift. ”

"Ah, yes, my brother is going to talk about Kirino's gift!" Ayase also hurriedly replied.

"Uh, lately, anyway, I forgot which magazine I saw it in - I can go to Black Cat and make sure there's a cosplay contest for Mellulu!" Kazuya said busily.

"Mellulu? Is that the animation that Kirino likes very much? ”

"Yes, that's it," Kazuya said, nodding, "The prize for the cosplay contest is a special merchandise for Meruru, a unique prize that only champions can have!" ”

"So, if she can give Kirino that prize, she will be very happy, right?" Ayase also understood what Kazuya meant, and at that moment, her eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's it!" Kazuya nodded, secretly rejoicing in her heart at the divergence of Ayase's attention.

"But that's a cosplay contest, right? There will definitely be a lot of people participating, how can my brother be sure that I will definitely win a prize if I go to this competition? And, besides, it's said that cosplay is something to be ashamed to wear, right? Ayase said with a frown.

"You don't have to play yourself!" Remembering that Kyosuke seemed to have really let Ayase wear revealing clothes to the game, and couldn't help grinding his teeth, that guy was really a little uneasy and kind!

"If I don't play? You mean to go straight to the champion and buy this gift, although money is not an issue, but this is the only prize! The other party won't give it to me, right? ”

"Well, you don't have to play, you just have to trick a good friend of yours into playing." Kazuya looked at Ayase, who had finally focused all his attention on this aspect with satisfaction, and showed a sly expression and said, "As long as that guy plays, there will be no suspense about the championship!" ”
