After that trip to Einzberen Castle, Saori's impression of her brother was only those two cold and sharp eyes, and the figure that was also unnoticed and unattached.

In the future, I really won't see my former brother again.

As she thought, in the next few years, although the elder brother would also talk to her on the phone, write letters, and meet and talk, he was no longer the elder brother who was cold, but made her feel comfortable and reassured - he had become 'Tosaka Tokitomi'.

The most common part of the correspondence is 'all right, don't read it', and when talking and meeting in person, it is also a variety of languages that seem to be programmed - how are you doing? Hmmm (nodding), that's good

However, these are only the past.

Just as Rin left the ancestral home of the Maki Island family, news came from the castle of Einzberen - Tosaka Tokitomi was going to have a video conversation with his sister Saori Makishima and Akiko Asaka alone in the evening of Tokyo time.

Putting aside the various speculations generated by the adults and elders because of this news, after learning this news, both Akiko and Saori have an unreal sense of dreaminess

In this feeling, time flies quickly, and before the two of them know it, it is night.

Turn on the computer, carefully install the chat software from the castle of Einzberen, and open it

“”

In the dark blue interface, the familiar face appeared in front of the two, and the dark eyes behind the glasses that could not see the slightest emotion looked at them indifferently.

“”

“”

And at the moment when she was seen by these eyes, Akiko, who originally had a thousand words in her heart, seemed to suddenly lose her breath and became unsure of what to say.

Saori next to her was even more serious than her, and even after the initial moment, she even lowered her head.

- Since going to Europe, my predecessors have almost cut off contact with their relatives in Japan, and even when they come back later, they live in the Red Devil Pavilion, a villa built by themselves.

In this case, Akiko, who has a relatively 'estranged' relationship, is more approachable to him than Saori - the letters sent to Saori are basically written under her reminder and urging - although most of the seniors want to write in their hearts.

I want to write, or want to be close to them, but I can't take the initiative to do so intellectually and from a standpoint, at this time, I need someone who is close enough to him to give him a step down - just like the **** ancient 'three please three lets', or the special plot points in RPG games, at certain specific times, some specific people are needed to make certain actions to trigger some specific events.

"Have you eaten dinner?"

It's still the clear and undulating voice, but what do you say? made Akiko wonder if she was hallucinating.

"Well, I've already eaten it."

Blinking vigorously, Akiko let herself come back to her senses from the absurdity of the wrong style of painting, and her left hand covertly touched Saori who was stunned next to her.

"Ah, well, I've already eaten it!"

"Hmm."

Ying Ting's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was a little disappointed and dissatisfied because of his sister's panicked attitude, but he didn't say anything.

Naturally, these slight changes in his expression also made Saori's heart even more melancholy, and the girl, who was already cowering, was even more overwhelmed, like a little quail—although this behavior seemed somewhat ridiculous for her size.

"Did you have lunch?"

Seeing that the atmosphere between the two was not quite right, Akiko hurriedly said with a smile.

"I've eaten it."

Nodding earnestly again, the eyes that seemed to remain calm all the time turned to Saori again, and there was a hint of doubt in the words that came out - but more of a question and an affirmation:

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

"Uh, huh? No, no."

First he nodded reflexively, and then, after reacting, shook his head like a rattle.

"Alright, you stop, I see."

Ignoring his sister's anxious expression, the man on the screen waved his hand, made a stop movement, sighed almost imperceptibly, and the indifference in his eyes seemed to have turned into melancholy and loneliness.

"Although I don't like you like this, but no matter what, you are you, and nothing will change that, even if I don't like it."

"But, no matter what, you're always my sister—that's always been me."

“？！”

Looking at her brother with an inexplicable warm smile on his face, Saori's eyes widened.

Although the brother-sister relationship between the two is unquestionable - and she is the only sister of Shi Chen's half-father and mother, in fact, she is not familiar with her brother now, and for this girl, the current brother, or elder brother, except for being mentioned in the mouths of those around her from time to time, is more of a strangeness that she cannot express in words.

Powerful, majestic, genius, domineering, and unmatched, like a two-handed heavy sword that is sharp and restrained, but still chilling and self-generated, her brother's style is completely different from her life, making her feel a little inferior in addition to longing.

But is she really willing to do this?

Of course not reconciled.

In her heart, there has always been a small wish, that is, with her own efforts and her own strength, one day in the future, let her brother personally proudly declare to everyone that she is his sister - whether it is 'Maki Island Pedestrian 'or 'Tosaka Tokitomi', or 'Yubs Haitak. Haid. Feng. Einzberen's sister, she is happy to be like a child, just like when he was a child, his brother touched his head with that ****** unchanged face, and praised himself with a smile.

If she could do that, she wouldn't be afraid of anything anymore.

However, in reality, she is still so clumsy that she can't even have a normal conversation with her brother at the usual time.

Just like now, even if I hear my brother, who is not the same as usual, say what I care about, I can't express it in my own words.

"You're my sister, I'm your brother." The face on the screen returned to an expressionless state, "Although I am an incompetent older brother who often ignores my sister because of my own affairs.

However, when the time comes, I won't sit idly by and watch my sister's affairs - and so will Akiko's affairs.

Over the years, I've only done two things in total, one of which has failed, and there's only one thing I've really done."

Saori's eyes widened, and there was no doubt that her brother was different today than usual—not only did he talk a lot more, but more importantly, he seemed to be telling himself something very important. She tried very hard to understand the meaning of each word, but no matter how hard she listened, memorized, and thought, she couldn't understand the meaning of some of her brother's words.

In the end, she only heard her brother say seemingly lightly, "Remember to get along with Rin, goodbye." Then, the meeting was over.

PS: Shichen here is a high imitation of London, as for why she said this to Saori, I can only say that it is an assist (routine) from the eldest lady.

PS2: If it weren't for the rapid push of the map and the crazy salvage, the resources would not have been able to keep up, and the European constellation would have felt that we had graduated from Dajian now.

PS3: I got married today, and my big wish has been fulfilled, so I updated a chapter, maybe the update can be resumed. (Actually, it should be yesterday)
