Chapter 321: Meeting and Retaining
As Ayase assured Kazuya, after getting off the plane, Ayase still played the role of a perfect "sister", neither urging Kazuya nor changing his attitude towards Kazuya because of his confession.
On the contrary, it is Kazuya himself, because what Ayase said before is a little restrained, and even, when Ayase makes some actions that are normal even between brothers and sisters, Kazuya will occasionally make some more radical reactions that want to dodge.
Of course, still, in the face of Kazuya's reaction, Ayase often only purses her lips and smiles gently, and then may hug Kazuya tighter - which also makes Kazuya even more confused.
Sometimes and I also think that Ayase is not enjoying the embarrassment of being overwhelmed as an elder brother at such a time, but after thinking about it, Ayase is still his sister after all, so he shouldn't do such a bad thing, so Kazuya buried this idea in his heart.
In the end, Kazuya no longer resisted most of Ayase's intimate actions, and constantly hypnotized his Kazuya with "Ayase is still a sister now", and gradually became numb to Ayase's behavior of resting on her lap every now and then - although Ayase's frequency of doing this has increased significantly compared to the past. Sometimes, after a day's framing and shooting, Ayase would come and rub Kazuya's face affectionately, and after his first few resistances were looked at by Ayase with an unfathomable expression, Kazuya finally accepted Ayase's intimate behavior. In fact, many times, there is only a slight or even a slight difference in the psychological state of the intimate actions between relatives and lovers, so whenever Kazuya silently tells himself that "Ayase and I are still just brother and sister", he has also achieved the effect of self-deception.
As for what Kazuya thinks, he really doesn't know - even if he knows that it will be a difficult process to change the feelings of Ayase, who he has treated as a sister for 15 years.
Of course, relatively speaking, Ayase's practices are basically just some small fights in the usual days, different from Kazuya's simple guardian and relaxed role, Ayase came to the United States, and still has a job, as a person who treats his work very strictly, Ayase still prioritizes work most of the time. This also keeps her intimacy with Kazuya within a reasonable range.
Kazuya, who is much more free in comparison, occasionally tries to walk around the cities of the United States alone, but the United States, which lacks history, really can't let Kazuya experience the feeling of looking for a characteristic culture in the city, so what he does the most is to follow Ayase's work team, shuttling through one shooting location after another.
To be honest, this walk is already considered sightseeing.
Of course, for Ayase, there is another important task in coming to the United States, which is naturally to find Kirino. He didn't know when Ayase got Kirino's contact address from Mr. and Mrs. Takasaka, but at this time, he could appreciate it with great interest for the first time in a long time, and Takasaka Kirino had a bewildered expression when he saw Ayase.
Kazuya knows that the reason why Kirino came to the United States is to improve her track and field performance, and compared to her obviously tanned skin in the past, it also proves that Kirino's efforts in the United States are definitely not empty talk, but, judging from her slightly tired expression, Kirino is not in too good shape. This also makes Kazuya think a little maliciously, whether the long-term inability to play galgame has a greater impact on her, or the long-term inability to get a breakthrough has a greater impact on her.
However, this is not something that Kazuya needs to pay attention to, because he knows that soon, a certain sister will fly thousands of miles to the United States, and then bring Kirino back with his inexplicable performance - although Kazuya thought about it carefully, after he seemed to accidentally pull out almost all of Kyosuke's flag for Kirino in the country, it is hard to say whether Kyosuke's sister control soul will awaken.
Kazuya leans towards Kyosuke's sister control attribute and won't disappear, but he's not sure if Kirino will change his attitude towards Kyosuke. All in all, these changes in the world line caused by his butterfly and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, and now, he still thinks it would be more interesting to squint at the conversation between this pair of good girlfriends.
"Kirino is in the United States, why don't you contact me?" Ayase stared at Kirino's eyes and asked seriously.
"Well, that, because, time is too tight!" Kirino turned her head a little awkwardly, avoiding Ayase's gaze, and said, "But then again, why did Ayase come to the United States too?" β
"I came here because President Misaki offered me the opportunity to work hereβbut Kirino is not allowed to change the subject, so do you mean that if I don't come to the United States, Kirino will never contact me again?" Ayase asked, widening her beautiful eyes, clasping Kirino's hands tightly.
"Uh, that's not the case, that, this, so it's still possible to come back during the holidays, Ayase understands that I've been to a long camp, so I can't contact you, well, that's probably it." Kirino, who finally thought of a good excuse for himself, said in a slurring voice.
"Kirino is lying!" Ayase replied dissatisfied, "Kirino is like this when she lies, don't look away, don't dare to look at me, why is Kirino lying?" β
"Uh, that, so-"
"Now, why is Kirino lying? Kirino is lonely abroad alone, right? If you're lonely, why don't you contact me? Or does Kirino have new friends abroad? No, it's normal to have new friends, but that's not a reason why Kirino doesn't contact me, and Kirino isn't the kind of person who doesn't bother with Ayase just because he has a new friend, does he? Ayase's speed of speech is getting faster and faster, and her voice is getting sharper and sharper, and Kazuya, who is familiar with Ayase, knows that this is a sign that Ayase is about to enter a state of madness.
And looking at Kirino who was holding Ayase's hand tightly, and couldn't help patting his head, although it has been almost a year, it seems that Kirino still has no way to deal with Ayase in this state, otherwise, she wouldn't be as pale as she is now, but her speech is becoming more and more unpleasant.
In the end, in the face of this situation, Kazuya, who was just going to watch the play at first, gave up the idea of watching the fire from the other side, stretched out his hand, he gently touched Ayase's head, and said comfortingly: "Calm down, Ayase, Kirino will definitely have his own troubles, isn't it?" β
Kazuya wasn't sure if his appeasement would have an effect on Ayase, who was about to enter a state of madness, and it was not impossible for Ayase in that situation to reply with domineering words such as "brother, don't interject". However, Jean Kazuya was satisfied that after touching Ayase's head, Ayase's body trembled a little, but in the end, he calmed down.
Asahi also showed an apologetic look, and Ayase replied softly, "Well, I'm sorry, brother, I was a little too excited just now." β
"yes, that's what I like about Ayase!" Kazuya replied with a smile.
"Yes." Ayase nodded obediently, and then asked softly, "Does my brother still like Ayase like this?" β
If Ayase didn't contain any other meaning in this sentence, Kazuma would never believe it, so just such a simple question made Kazuya's answer a little hesitant.
Seeing Kazuya's tangled expression, Ayase smiled mischievously again, did not ask Kazuya for a reply, turned her head to Kirino on the other side again, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Kirino, I just wanted to figure out the truth of the matter too much." β
"No, there are my problems too," Kirino shook her head lightly and said, "I shouldn't have hidden it from Ayase." β
"So, can Kirino tell me? Why haven't you been contacting me? Changing to a steady tone, Ayase said cautiously again.
Kirino looked at Ayase's sincere eyes, and showed a hint of hesitation for a moment, but, finally, after glancing at Kazuya beside Ayase, she still shook her head.
Kazuya naturally noticed the way Kirino looked at him, and suddenly felt a little strange feeling. But after thinking about it for a long time, I still don't know what I did wrong after saving Kirino just now, and Kazuya decisively pretends not to see Kirino in his eyes.
Ayase didn't seem too surprised by Kirino for this answer, after all, she was also a person who understood Kirino for her stubbornness, and she also knew that when Kirino made up her mind to do something, no matter how hard she forced herself, she would not give up. So, biting her lip gently, Ayase finally didn't force Kirino to say the answer, she said lightly: "If Kirino really doesn't want to say it, then needless to say, it's actually okay, but, I really want to help Kirino, so, if Kirino is willing, you must find me, understand?" β
Kazuya chuckled and looked at his own sister who felt like she was "flirting with her sister", and nodded with a "tsk", but his reaction was unanimously disdained by the two girls present.
"Brother, what are you thinking? It's as if it's boring to think that girls are encouraging each other! β
"So, whenever my impression of you changes from negative to positive, do you guys need to do something to deduct points for yourself, it's too masochistic, isn't it?"
Although Kazuya has always wanted to complain, "What does it matter if my image is negative in your heart", however, looking at the expressions of Ayase and Kirino who are the same enemy, he still closed his mouth with a tangled face.
"I took time out of my work today, and we might have to leave here tomorrow," Ayase said sincerely, looking at her watch, "Even now, I'm going to shoot soon, so I can't stay here for too long." However, Kirino, if it really doesn't work, be sure to tell me, I'll really do my best to help you! β
"Yes, I understand, but I feel like I can work a little harder on my own!" Kirino nodded, knocked on her calf, showed a confident smile, and said, "Although I was surprised that Ayase was able to come to see me today, I am still very happy, and I feel that my state has improved a lot!" β
"Really? That's good, but it's a pity I'm going to leave right now. β
"It's fine. It's okay for Ayase to keep believing in me like she used to, isn't it? β
From beginning to end,And also, except for when Ayase calmed down,,Seldom interjected in the conversation between Ayase and Kirino.,After all,It's not himself and Kirino who want to solve the problem.,It's Ayase and Kirino who.,Although the current Kirino didn't give Ayase a satisfactory answer.,But for Ayase,At least be able to confirm Kirino's situation.,And get Kirino's kind of somewhat general promise.,It's already satisfying.γ
As for the next situation, don't worry, as long as the eldest sister Kyosuke appears, it's up to him to solve this tricky thing - as for himself, he is already anxious, so he won't bother too much about these things in Kirino!
- Of course, in general, when Kazuya thinks so, his fate is naturally doomed.
"That, Ayase," just as Kazuya and Ayase were about to say goodbye, Kirino stopped the two after hesitating for a long time, "This, although I'm a little embarrassed, but, can you lend me that guy Kazuya, well, I just want to ask a few questions, because he's more or less an athlete, this-"
Kirino's eyes rolled, and she couldn't think of a good reason, which made her expression a little embarrassed.
"This isn't okay, I still have to work with Ayase!" Kazuya frowned and politely declined Kirino's invitation.
"Oh, that's it, forget it!" Kirino had a disappointed expression.
"Brother stay," however, Ayase's reaction surprised Kazuya, naturally and easily, she gave such an answer, "My brother came to work in the United States not to accompany me, but to relax, if it is relaxing, playing some games with Kirino you like is also a kind of relaxation, right?" Besides, I just told Kirino that if Kirino asks me for help, I'll do my best to help Kirino, right? β
Kazuya looked at Ayase's sincere eyes, and couldn't see any reluctant expression from anywhere. With Ayase making such a statement, there is no such good reason for his refusal.
In the end, Kazuya touched his nose, looked at Kirino's glittering eyes of expectation, and said helplessly, "Okay, if you all say so, it's not impossible for me to stay." β
