Cultural festival of Abei (II)

In the crowded corridor, Yabei's petite body dodged the slightly crowded crowd and came to a staircase with fewer people.

"Gotta find a place to hide..."

Yabei thought about it in pieces.

"Target, discovery—"

A nasty and familiar voice came from behind him, and before Yabei could turn around in a hurry, he felt that his head was slapped heavily by a hand, and the hateful thing was that the hand was still messing with Yabei's hair.

Yabei's hair quickly became messy.

"Bastard! Don't you know that hair is very important for girls! ”

Yabei slapped his hand away in annoyance and yelled at the person behind him.

"Hmph, it's an unobtrusive ugly girl anyway, and if you have messy hair, you might get noticed."

The person who spoke was a teenager with slightly messy black hair, wearing a white shirt and jeans.

"It's too much, Jeong-ho!"

Yabei glared at his brother.

"I'm not an ugly girl!"

"Oh~ So, why is your presence still very low? Now it must be because the cultural festival is being neglected, so let's take advantage of it to be lazy. ”

Jeongho hit the nail on the head.

"Really, really talkative...! Anyway, I'm used to being alone......"

Don't overdo it with a weak heart.

"Oh~~"

After Zhenghao looked at Yabei, he laughed evilly.

"Hehe, for your pitiful sake, I'll reluctantly accompany you for a day."

"Hey, I don't want to."

Yabei White Eye.

"Well, let's go around first."

Ignoring whether Yabei was willing or not, Zhenghao dragged her away semi-forcibly.

Yabei had no choice but to reluctantly follow behind Zhenghao, as if he had been taken on a tour of the school.

Yabei, who walks behind Jeongho, feels like a foil to the omnipotent protagonist in the manga. Compared to himself, my brother is very conspicuous no matter where he is, and he is a bad boy who is annoying but is excellent in all aspects.

―1―

A scary-looking pumpkin head sits on the threshold, while a sign underneath reads 'Haunted House', and the dark curtain has striking red marks.

It looks a little creepy.

"Hey, why are you going to a haunted house?"

Yabei questioned Zhenghao.

"Because I'm curious."

Jeongho laughed evilly.

"If you're curious, go in by yourself."

Yabei glared at Zhenghao.

"Because I thought it was fun to see frightened faces."

"Is there a brother like you?"

"Because you're not a girl to me, if you're a pretty girl, I'm usually very concerned."

After hearing Zhenghao's words, Yabei almost trembled with anger.

"That's how I am, anyway! You don't have to be nosy! ”

"I say! Don't just go in on your own! ”

However, the other party didn't listen to his complaints at all, and just walked into the haunted house, and Yabei had to follow up with gritted teeth.

The haunted house was very dark, and the fluorescent lamps in the corners also emitted a faint light source, and they flickered from time to time. From time to time, the lamp made a 'zizi-' sound.

In this so-called haunted house, I don't actually feel anything terrible.

However, there are only ghost-like props, dummies dressed as zombies, mannequins from the laboratory, and pumpkin heads carved with strange expressions.

(What a haunted house this is!) ）

Yabei didn't feel that there was anything to be afraid of at all.

I don't know if it's because the haunted house is too bad, or if Yabei is not afraid, Zhenghao's expression showed a little disappointment.

"There is no such horror as imagined!"

After walking out of the haunted house, Yabei glanced at Zhenghao defiantly.

"yes, those guys are useless..."

Disappointed, Jeongho responded.

"Forget it, ugly girl, go get something to eat."

"I've said I'm not an ugly girl!"

Yabei almost went berserk.

―2―

The sunlight shining through the gaps in the leaves on the stone walls...

A place filled with the fragrance of plants.

In a corner of the campus courtyard, Yabei sat alone on a bench, leaning on the back of the chair and looking up at the blue sky.

"That guy isn't here, I really feel a lot quieter......"

Yabei closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare comfort.

Before he knew it, Yabei fell asleep......

It was a very strange dream.

In my dream, I came to a kingdom of dim sum with a very large cake in the kingdom.

Chocolate, raisins, cookies, whipped cream, maple syrup donuts. And the cute gingerbread little people are spinning around the cake like ornaments.

Unable to resist the temptation of dim sum, Yabei took a thick chocolate bar on the cake and ate it.

The unique sweetness of chocolate spreads in the mouth.

"Woooooooooo

Suddenly, the chocolate bar moved in Yabei's mouth by itself, and Yabei couldn't stop it at all.

"Woo~~!! Whining~~!!! ”

It can be said that it was too intense, and Yabei, who couldn't hold it, woke up. I just saw Jeong-ho holding a chocolate banana into his mouth and moving around, with a mischievous expression.

"Ahem~!!"

Yabei, who was choked, hurriedly slapped Zhenghao's hand away, took the chocolate banana out of his mouth, and roared at Zhenghao.

"Perverted! I actually did something H to my sister! You filthy-minded fellow! ”

"I'm going to call the police!"

"Hey, hey! Thanks to my kindness to buy you food, it's just a little mischievous, so you don't have to react so much. ”

Jeong-ho pretended to be hurt.

"No one would use food as a toy to play with a girl's mouth like you!"

Yabei became angry.

"You're so H!"

“H？”

Jeongho frowned slightly.

"It seems that you thought of unhealthy content, obviously you used to like to eat this."

"I don't like it now!"

Yabei blushed and prepared to throw away the chocolate banana.

"No food is allowed to be wasted anyway."

Seeing Yabei's thoughts, Zhenghao reminded Kia North with a serious expression.

"I got it......"

Looking at Zhenghao a little unwillingly, Yabei had to eat the chocolate banana, his brother hates wasting food the most, and it would be bad if he was angry.

"What a terrible day......"

Finally finished eating the chocolate banana, Yabei was still in a bad mood.

"I bought a lot of them, so let's keep eating."

Jeongho hands Yabei a box of fried ice cream, which is also Yabei's favorite snack.

"Hmph..."

Yabei took the snack and ate it by himself.

On the way, the two saw a man wearing a black cat doll costume handing out balloons to children.

"Isn't that the famous instant noodle anime "Vampire Cat" a few years ago?"

Zhenghao, who was sitting next to Yabei, looked at the vampire cat's doll suit and said suddenly.

"yes, I liked it when I was an elementary school student."

Yabei replied coldly.

"Hmph, so you're still a fool."

Jeongho laughed, and was quickly blinded by Yabei.

"You're not qualified to say it, didn't you like to watch it in the past!"

"I'm just going to let you go."

"Humph!"

Yabei turned his head unhappily.

“……”

“……”

The two of them were silent—

"Hey, are you still going to live in the apartment?"

Jeongho spoke first.

"Of course, living alone is very free and happy."

"Obviously before you ran away from home, you lived the same life."

Looking at Yabei, who was still eating snacks, Zhenghao sighed slightly.

"Ever since my mother died in a car accident ten years ago, my dad took the initiative to leave us at home and go on an adventure somewhere with friends, and it was a nightmare for me, and it was so hard to take care of you."

Jeongho opened a can of coffee and drank it down, looking up at the sky and recalling the past.

"It's really annoying to be an older brother to take care of a younger sister than yourself."

"Isn't it natural to take care of my sister!"

Yabei objected.

"That's no way...... However, after his father came back, he also changed a lot......"

Speaking of this, Zhenghao's expression was also a little gloomy.

"I only care about my own work, I don't care about my children, thanks to him, I also learn how to be self-reliant. But I don't resent Daddy, and as for you, you always like to make trouble for me......"

"I never have."

Yabei complained.

"Hey, before you left home, did you forget that I was the one who made your dinner and the next day's lunch?"

Zhenghao looked at Yabei with dissatisfaction and became sarcastic.

"But thanks to your departure, my life is much easier."

"I'm always annoying you anyway, and it's best to leave!"

Yabei turned his head, his cheeks flushed slightly......

"You only came to school to count my misery."

"By the way, I'm here to comfort you, but the reason why you ran away from home is really something I can't agree with."

Zhenghao looked at Yabei with a look at the poor puppy and spread his hands.

"It's just that you lived a self-deprecating life after falling out of love, and you ran away from home without permission when you were scolded by your father, I don't understand what you think."

"Anyway, my dad only cares about his own work, completely ignores my existence, and his attitude towards me is also very bad! Even if it's you, brother, you just think I'm ridiculous! There's no point in staying at home anymore! ”

Yabei couldn't help but scream, only to realize his gaffe, so he calmed down. Good thing no one noticed this.

"You're hopeless......"

Jeongho sighed deeply, and Yabei didn't seem to understand that he was also at fault.

At this time, he stood up and lowered his head to stare at Yabei.

"What?"

Yabei asked unkindly.

"Of course it's to continue to visit the campus with your stupid sister, do you want to sit here all day like a fool in a daze?"

Zhenghao laughed evilly, but his tone was unexpectedly a little more gentle.

"Huh?"

Yabei is incomprehensible -

―3―

To Yabei's surprise, Zhenghao didn't continue to call Yabei an 'ugly girl'. But it was changed to another unpleasant name......

After that, Zhenghao has been accompanying Yabei to visit various activities on campus, at least it didn't make her feel lonely.

Although there are also some simple girls who look at Zhenghao and express their affection, but Zhenghao rejected them on the grounds that he likes 'mature big sisters', in Yabei's eyes, Zhenghao is really bad.

The sun is about to set.,In the campus dyed orange by the sunset,The school festival is about to end.。

"Ah, what a tiring day, it's really hard to accompany your stupid sister."

At the door of the campus, Zhenghao yawned and said goodbye to Yabei.

"Obviously you're coming."

Yabei said angrily.

"But you're still very happy to be accompanied by my brother today."

The evil smile on Jeong-ho's face remained unchanged.

"Only, not yet!"

Yabei blushed.

"Leave!!"

"Hmph, okay."

Jeongho waved his hand and prepared to leave, and before leaving, he also said his own words.

"So, congratulations on a Happy Halloween in advance! Don't eat too much candy that night, or you'll get fat! ”

"You're so talkative!"

Yabei looked at the back of Zhenghao leaving angrily.

"Forget it, let's find a place to rest......"

Inexplicably lost in his heart, Yabei walked back to the bench at the edge of the garden for students to rest, sat on the bench again, and looked up at the sky dyed orange by the setting sun.

On campus,Students are also starting to put the finishing touches on the school festival.。

Towards the end of the academy festival, a young man with pearl hair entered the campus with a somewhat regretful expression on his face, as if he had missed something-

"Whew... It's so hot......"

Under the shade of the tree, Kaye took off the hood of the 'vampire cat' doll and took off his doll suit, sweating profusely.

"I can finally rest......

"Good work, Kaye."

A familiar voice came through, catching Kaye's attention. Kaye couldn't help but have a surprised look on his face when he saw the owner of the voice approaching.

"Ryder, why are you here too? The school festival is almost over.。 ”

"Because I saw the maid outfit on the Yabei blog last night, I thought it was very suitable, so I wanted to see it with my own eyes."

"It's a pity that today's work is unexpectedly busy, and after the task is completed, it is already evening."

Ryder smiled regretfully.

"Speaking of which, Yabei should still be wearing a maid costume now."

"Huh? Yabei didn't participate in the event, and I didn't see her wearing a maid outfit. ”

Kaye's answer surprised Ryder a bit.

"By the way, isn't the Hemdilumon with you?"

Noticing that the Ledlummon, who had been inseparable from Ryder, was not by Ryder's side, Kaye asked.

"Ah, I've asked the Hedilummon to go back first. Although Hedilumon is a Digimon, she is also a girl after all, and she needs to rest. ”

"Ryder is so unexpectedly gentle......"

Kaye didn't know where to complain.

"Speaking of which, Kaye, do you know where Yabei is?"

Ryder asks about Yabei.

"I just saw her walking towards the garden, probably sitting there to rest."

"Yes......"

Looking at Kaye's doll suit and the unfinished balloons in the box, Ryder made a decision.

"Kaye, can you lend me a little bit of a doll suit?"

Ryder picked up the doll suit.

"Yes, but what is Ryder going to do?"

Kaye asked Ryder, puzzled.

"Secret, Secret~~"

Ryder gave his trademark smile.

―4―

In the garden, Yabei sat on a bench and continued to be in a daze, watching the crowd of people leaving the campus one after another at dusk.

At this time, a chubby black shadow appeared in front of Yabei, and Yabei was stunned at first.

"It turned out to be a vampire cat......

Yabei recognized the doll at once.

I saw one of the 'vampire cats' paw holding the balloon and extending the balloon to Yabei.

"Ahh Thank you ......."

Although a little inexplicable, Yabei still stood up and took the balloon, and thanked the 'vampire cat' inwardly.

“… Ahh

Unexpectedly, when Yabei just took the balloon, the 'vampire cat' suddenly held Yabei in his arms, and Yabei couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

After a brief hug, the vampire cat let go of Yabei and slowly left.

"Huh?"

Yabei held the balloon and looked at the departing 'vampire cat' with a blank expression.

"Forget it......"

Inexplicably, Yabei felt that he was in a much happier mood.

[The following is the announcement of the Executive Committee of the Cultural Festival, and the Cultural Festival is about to close!] ]

[Thank you very much for visiting our school today!] ]

The announcement of the closing of the festival was announced on the school's radio.

"What happened today isn't so bad......"

Yabei's face showed a look of joy.

The school festival is over.,But Halloween is coming.―

――End――
