"Shota-san!"

On June 18, just as the bell rang for the lunch break, Yui came to Shota with a hint of crampedness and anticipation.

"What's wrong Yui?"

Shota didn't forget that today was Yui's birthday, and he celebrated Yui when he first met her in the morning, but the birthday gift hadn't been given to Yui yet.

"That, Shota-san...... Tonight, because it's my birthday, everyone decided to go to KTV to celebrate, so ......"

Looking at Yui with a nervous expression in front of him, Shota even felt that as long as he showed the slightest dislike or unwillingness, Yui would immediately apologize to him.

She always cares too much about other people's faces and opinions, as can be seen from the makeup on her face that is much thicker than at the beginning of the school year. Yui doesn't care about the eyes of the boys, she cares about her female friends who wear heavy makeup.

For example, the Yuiko who dyed her hair blonde.

Glancing at the makeup on Yui's face, Shota showed an apologetic smile: "Yui, you should invite Yukino too, right?" ”

"Well, I've already invited Xiaoxue, but Xiaoxue clearly declined my invitation......"

I see, that's why I'm so nervous?

"Although I really want to attend your birthday party, if Yukino refuses, I have to go with Yukino."

"Well, it's okay......"

Just as Yui forced a smile to show that he didn't mind, Shota continued, "I want to ask, what time are you going to sing K?" ”

"Probably...... It's past eight o'clock, right? It seems that the time of Yumiko is from five to eight o'clock. ”

Looking at it like this, even the one who proposed to sing K must be Yukiko. Although a little surprised that even the time was decided by Yukiko, Shota continued to ask, "Then do you have any activities after eight o'clock?" ”

"I don't think so......"

Yui answered Shota's question very uncertainly, and the reason why it was like this was also clear to Shota. If Yukiko suddenly wants to do something on a whim, Yui will definitely not refuse, but this is also within the scope of Shota and Yukino's consideration.

"So, leave the time after eight o'clock to me and Yukino, right? We want to celebrate with you a little bit, and we'll take care of getting you home. ”

"Huh!? Are you sure? Thank you, Shota-san! ”

After receiving Shota's invitation, Yui happily returned to her group of girls and ate a bento. For being able to celebrate her birthday with Shota and Yukino, especially when Yukino has already rejected her invitation, Yui is now quite excited and happy.

"Please, Ekina." Looking at Yui's departing figure, Shota said meaningfully to Ebina, who was beside him who did not leave with Yui.

"Don't worry, Shota~."

Ebina replied with a smile.

……

……

At about seven o'clock in the evening, in an ordinary family restaurant, Shota and Yukino did not go home as soon as possible after school but came directly to this family restaurant. Not far from this ordinary family restaurant, there is a KTV that is very popular with students in the neighborhood, and Yui celebrates her birthday with her friends in the KTV.

The reason why I chose this family-friendly restaurant, which looks quite ordinary, is because you can easily see the entrance of the KTV from the seats next to the windows in the restaurant.

"Do you think Yui is back?" Scooping a spoonful of ordinary beef curry in addition to the ordinary, Yukino said a little casually.

"Don't worry, Yukino, I think Yui will definitely come." Looking at Yukino, who was stirring in the curry rice with a spoon, Shota smiled knowingly.

Although Yukino was very calm in terms of expression and tone, it seemed that there was no problem if Yui didn't come, but the small movements in her hand had already betrayed her true mood.

Under normal conditions, it is unlikely that Xue Nai would behave in such a way that is not very in line with table manners.

"Tsk......"

After realizing that he was a little out of shape from Shota's smile, Yukino smacked his tongue slightly unhappily, and his eyes glared sharply at Shota.

"I didn't expect you to be such a bad person, and you deliberately put Yui in such an embarrassing situation."

"What's bad or not, if Xue Nai likes to stay in that kind of situation, I wouldn't make such a suggestion." Shota waved his hand at Yukino with a 'I know' expression.

"Even if I don't like it, it doesn't mean I won't go to that kind of occasion, after all, today is Yui's birthday."

"Even if you think about it now, if something really happens that makes you feel uncomfortable, I don't think you'd choose not to have a seizure just because it's Yui's birthday."

After hearing Shota say this, Yukino's delicate face suddenly became a little angry. It's like an elegant cat suddenly showing its fangs, so that the uninformed people next to him can't help but think that Shota said something that angered Yukino.

"Do you think I'm a person who doesn't care about the occasion?"

"Obviously yes!"

"You're ......!"

Yukino lowered her voice, but she didn't say anything other than a 'you', but instead let out a 'purr' under Shota's Shunmao attack, which is very fond of making such a sound when the cat is angry.

Yes, Shun Mao.

After seeing the strange and familiar expression on Yukino's face, Shota subconsciously used his right hand to smooth Yukino's long straight black hair, just like he did with Ying Ri Li. Shota, who reacted, was a little surprised at first, but after carefully observing Yukino's performance, he continued with a smile on his face.

"It's dirty...... I don't even wipe my hands. ”

Yukino closed his eyes and complained in a whisper, such Yukino, Shota likes it very much.

This behavior didn't last long, though, as two unexpected people walked in through the main entrance of the family dining room. Except for the dead fish eyes, the similar face and almost the same dull hair, there is no one else except the brother and sister of Biqigu.

"Huh!? Isn't that Shota's brother Yukino's sister over there? No wonder brother, you must come to eat so far away. ”

“…… A sucker. ”

After discovering that Komachi's screams had attracted the attention of Shota and Yukino, Hikiya looked away from his surprised gaze in a little panic.

He didn't think he'd run into Shota and Yukino here.

"Hmph, is my brother shy? It's okay, although it may disturb the two of them, but Brother Shota and Sister Yukino will definitely not mind! ”

Komachi, who misunderstood his brother's behavior and performance, took each other's hands and reluctantly pulled Kiya in front of Shota and Yukino.

"Yo, Komachi, are you going out to dinner with your brother?" Seeing Komachi's cute smile and little tiger teeth, Shota didn't feel angry even if the atmosphere between himself and Yukino was ruined, but greeted each other with a smile.

"Uh-huh! Brother Shota, Sister Yukino! Dad and Mom have to work overtime, and only my brother and I are left at home, but my brother has to go out to eat, it turns out that it is because Brother Shota and Sister Yukino are here. ”

"Good evening, Komachi."

Yukino nodded to Komachi, and after releasing his kindness slightly, he looked at Shota strangely, and Shota shook his head in the same confusion.

Hikiya would appear here and Shota didn't know it.

Could it be......

After vaguely guessing in his heart, Shota smiled and said to the Biqiya brothers and sisters, "Let's have dinner together, okay?" ”

Yukino glanced at Shota quietly and didn't say anything, but Biqigu hurriedly refused: "No, don't ......"

"Of course no problem!"

Komachi loudly interrupted Hikiya's unspoken words of refusal and pushed Hikiya to the table opposite Shota and Yukino.

"Hahaha, that's a pretty cute sister." Looking at the reluctant expression on Hikiya's face, Shota couldn't help but laugh and praise.

"Of course."

Hikiya turned his face aside, hiding the joy he felt at his sister's praise.
