If you just look at the level of confusion in your emotional situation, Kazuya's situation when she returned to Japan may be even worse than before she left for the United States. After all, in the United States, he did not solve anyone's problems well, on the contrary, Ayase's unexpected confession only added to the crisis he had to deal with.

However, compared to before he went to the United States, Kazuya's mentality is much better now. Although the whole period in the United States was also a mess, Ayase's words before gave Ayase the courage to face others, and at the same time, it also gave Kazuha the courage to face everyone.

Since Ayase can compete with others at the risk of not being understood by others, then she should also work harder to solve these problems.

And when He also realized this, his choice was actually determined.

It's not that he doesn't know what he should do, in fact, in his heart, he has always had a choice, but the reality that has changed too drastically, and the little greed in his heart, still makes him feel that he can have a better way to solve all the problems. However, now he has understood what he is asking for.

Human beings are such amazing creatures, when they don't understand the problem, no matter how long they think about it, no matter how many methods they use, it will not help, but when they determine their true thoughts, the ideas for solving the problem will continue to pour out.

When he got on the plane, Kazuya closed his eyes as if he was sleeping, which made Ayase feel very strange, but only Kazuya himself knew what his goal was in doing so.

He's thinking about the best way, and first of all, what he has to do is to respond positively to his sister's feelings-

Dividing Line –

Because of Kirino's accident at the end, Ayase's rather serious confession was interrupted by appeasing Kirino's mood, but, in Ayase's heart, she may not have no expectation and also gave herself a reply. After all, the deadline agreed by the two to "think hard while in the United States and give yourself an answer before returning home" has arrived.

Of course, Ayase can also find various reasons for Kazuya, such as it is not appropriate to give herself a reply in Kirino's state, such as her second confession is actually giving up the previous agreement, but she is still looking forward to it, she still expects Kazuya to be able to give herself an answer, whether it is to satisfy herself, or to make herself sentimental.

But as if he had forgotten about it, he never mentioned it positively, which somewhat made Ayase a little sad. Even before boarding the plane, Ayase was expecting Kazuya to be able to give her a reply in a less formal way, but Kazuya, who fell asleep with her eyes closed immediately after boarding the plane, disappointed her hopes.

It was just when she finally sighed helplessly and accepted the reality that Kazuya seemed to be ready to escape again, that she heard her brother's soft voice calling to her.

She opened her eyes and watched Kazuya's brown pupils look at her tenderly.

She suddenly knew what he was going to do.

She tensed — she was nervous even though she had been looking forward to it, she didn't know what was going to happen next, she didn't know what he was going to affirm or what he was going to deny next.

Although he has made up his mind to work hard, if his brother denies his chance to work hard from the beginning, then this determination will be meaningless.

Then, she heard, Kazuya speak, as if he was a little troubled—

Dividing Line –

"How can I say it, at this time when I talk to you about these things, I always feel that the atmosphere is not quite right, but because I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I didn't think about a general outline until just now, but I feel that it doesn't seem very good to go back to China and say this thing, so I can only say it on the plane. On the plane to the United States, you threw me a bombshell at the beginning, and now, it's my turn to throw a bomb back at Ayase - I don't know if it's a bombshell, but it should be an answer, right? ”

Kazuya said these words slowly, even a little verbosely, and his cramped and nervous appearance, which was somewhat inconsistent with his style, made Ayase's tense face relax.

She smiled quietly: "This way, it doesn't look like a brother!" I used to think that no matter how my brother expressed it, he should become more serious and more serious. ”

"Well, probably in the environment of the plane, you can't be serious anyway, right?" Kazuya scratched his head embarrassedly.

"So, my brother will tell me, right? Tell me, what is your answer, exactly? ”

"Let's get to the conclusion first!" Kazuya's expression became serious - in fact, Ayase couldn't see Kazuya's expression clearly, she just felt that the tone of her brother's speech became low, which should be a sign that he had become serious, "In conclusion, I like you, just like the way you like me, even if you don't discuss my brother's liking for my sister, I like you, the so-called boy's liking for girls, yes, I like you, Ayase." ”

Kazuya said this almost a little frivolously, but it also made the truest reaction in his heart.

There is no problem, why would he not like Ayase? Of course, he should like Ayase. He should like Ayase, so much. Whether it's the impression that promotes me.,The strong.,Beautiful girl who likes it when I watch anime.。 is still his sister now, this girl who has been working hard for his brother, has been caring for himself, and has been paying silently, he likes it.

It's a double like, how can such a liking be fooled by a simple brother's love for his sister? Of course he liked Ayase. Kazuya thought so.

The identity of brother and sister, Jean Kazuya had a reason to care about Ayase from the beginning, and there was a reason to protect Ayase from the beginning - but, until now, Kazuya realized that he should have cared about his sister because "Ayase is a sister", but in the end, it became a concern for Ayase because "her sister is Ayase". And also, of course, is not a sister control.,And also just care about Ayase.,If the other person is his sister.,Then maybe the relationship between himself and his sister may be as bad as the current relationship between the Takasaka brothers and sisters.。

However, Kazuya found that as he slowly grew up, he lost this. Of course, the way he cares about Ayase is that his brother cares about his sister, but the basis of his concern for Ayase is always because he likes Ayase, and he really likes Ayase too much.

Kazuya had already forgotten his original intention of liking Ayase a little, but when he rediscovered this liking in his vague memory, in fact, the answer to Ayase's question was so simple.

So, he said his answer so lightly: "I like you, it's a boy's love for a girl." This liking has even penetrated into his bones, so even if he wants to express his feelings in a serious way, he finds that he can't be serious.

Just as everyone thinks that eating is important, but who would say "eating is important" before eating – because it's just a habit.

Ayase tilted her head, and she looked at Kazuya with some surprise, as if she didn't understand Kazuya's meaning, and didn't speak for a long time.

"Well, I know I'm not that serious, but it's the truth, I like Ayase very much, it's really pure slashing of brothers and sisters, only between men and women." Kazuya looked at Ayase, who was unresponsive, and responded somewhat embarrassedly.

"I know." Ayase replied softly, "I'm glad I heard my brother's answer. ”

"But you don't look very happy, do you?"

"It's because, I think, it's a little incredible!" Ayase wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then, a stormy fist fell on Kazuya's body, "yes, it's incredible! Obviously, I've been trying so hard to talk to my brother about this, and Ayase has been worried for so long, why can my brother still talk about this matter so simply! Why does my brother seem to say it without thinking too much, isn't this like my previous efforts, all of them are clowns? ”

"Of course it's not a clown, because of Ayase's efforts, I can know my feelings for Ayase." Kazuya gently reached out and touched Ayase's head.

"I think I must have liked Ayase a long, long time ago - I must have liked it before Ayase liked me, I mean that like, the kind of love that Ayase knew, I should have liked Ayase a long, long time ago. However, I don't know when my brother's responsibilities and obligations to my sister overwhelmed me, so I feel that my liking should be my brother's liking for my sister, my concern for Ayase, and my brother's concern for my sister—if Ayase didn't tell me that Ayase liked me, then, I thought, I might forget my liking for Ayase forever—as my brother's liking for his sister. ”

"So, thank you very much Ayase! Because of Ayase's efforts, I realized that I liked Ayase, and I realized that I had ignored the feelings in my heart before. Ayase, you little angel! Without hindrance, it felt as if I had been thinking about these words in my heart for a long time, and I just said them naturally.

He also saw Ayase's expression slowly turn red, and then, he was also a little nervous.

"I thought that because Ayase liked his brother, his brother would be angry." She said softly, stirring her hands uneasily.

"How so? If I were to be angry about this, I think I would have been angry with myself countless times. In the final analysis, liking is a very beautiful emotion, no matter who likes whom, there is nothing wrong, as long as a person's liking of another person will not hurt anyone, then, liking, is the most beautiful feeling in the world, isn't it? ”

"Hmm." Ayase nodded.

Finally, she reacted a little, a very warm, beautiful joy that emanated from her heart, and enveloped her heart.

She finally understood her situation. She likes her brother very much, and her brother likes her too, and it seems that he likes her very much. They like each other, they're brother and sister, but they still like each other. Even if they are brother and sister, they still like each other.

She thinks that even if it is a brother and sister, as long as they like each other, then there is no problem!

The girl thought warmly. She could imagine how she and her brother would get along as brother and sister at home, but from time to time there were some small movements between couples, and the thought of doing these things with her brother made her heart pound with some nervousness.

For Ayase, who has always followed the rules and abided by the norms set by her parents, what could excite her more than breaking this rule?

"I don't want to marry my brother, I can't marry my brother, but if I can live like this for the rest of my life and know that we like each other, that's fine." The girl thought with a very gentle expression.

Then, she hears Kazuya's voice that seems to be trying to call her back to reality.

"So, after that clear, it's the next question, Ayase."

"No problem, I won't expose it in front of my parents, brother, don't worry—" She assured earnestly, happily, and with an oath.

"It's not that problem," Kazuya sighed and said, "I know, I like you." However, I have not denied that I like other people, I still like Eiri, I still like Shiyu, and I still like Kato. It's a scumbag statement, but it's a fact, it's a fact that I realized before I went to the United States, and it hasn't changed yet. ”

Why? My brother already likes me, so what will my brother like others? Ayase tilted her head in confusion.

"Ayase? Do you see what I mean? ”

- So, my brother still likes them all the time! The girl's head bowed, and she finally broke free from the utopia she had just created because she had just been overjoyed.

That's right, she hasn't forgotten, and she shouldn't forget, that her brother likes herself, but her brother also likes other people. That kind of beautiful and warm thought, suddenly became not so beautiful.

Brother, you have to make a choice in the end. Although disappointed, she realized the reality.
