“... Oh~"

Hachiman replied downstairs.

"Then I'll go first~"

Reluctantly, Hachiman put down the cards in his hand, said "I'm sorry" to Komachi, and went downstairs.

"Takasaka-kun, aren't you really staying here for one night? The room was cleaned up quickly~"

When Hachiman went downstairs, he saw that his father was still holding Takasaka.

"No need, if I don't go back, my parents may be worried, I'll come to visit my uncle next time~" Takasaka declined.

“... Well, okay, I won't force that uncle, just let my son send you! ”

“... Eh, no need, I don't have to send it as a boy~"

After hearing the words of Father Hikitani, Takasaka hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"No, it's better to let the dog accompany you for a while, after all, this is good for your uncle to rest assured~"

After hearing this, Hachiman's heart was speechless again, and your son reassured you like that! It's such a big person, why do you need someone to accompany you!

"Well... Let's ~"

This time, Takasaka really couldn't refuse, so he could only give Hachiman a vague look of "sorry".

"Well, that's fine~"

"Hachiman, go and send Takasaka-kun, you will still be classmates in the future, get to know each other more now"

When Takasaka faced Hachiman, he immediately said to Hachiman with a straight face.

"Good..."

At this point, what else can Hachiman say, he can only go and accompany Takasaka on a trip~

………

“... I'm sorry to let you walk a little longer~"

After walking for a while, Takasaka first apologized to Hachiman.

"It's okay, just digest it after eating~" Hachiman said as if he didn't care.

"Forget it, in order to compensate you for the time you have taken this journey, I will tell you something that you should be interested in..."

After pondering for a while, Takasaka made up his mind and said to Hachiman.

"Huh? What's up? ”

After hearing this, Hachiman's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and he asked casually.

"On the first day of January, my parents and I should go to Yukino's house, and then..."

"It's possible to mention... I'm engaged to Yukino, what are you going to do? ”

Takasaka stared into Hachiman's eyes, observing Hachiman's reaction after hearing the words.

"You're going to say no, right?!"

Hachiman said with a little dodge in his eyes.

“... It may depend on your next performance? ”

Takasaka's brow furrowed slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Hachiman's answer.

"My performance? What's going on? Wouldn't you be against this? ”

After hearing Takasaka's words, Hachiman had many questions in his heart.

"But I also want to know if my decision was right or wrong? And... I would also like to know what your own thoughts are? ”

Takasaka turned around and walked slowly for two steps before a faint voice came.

"Your decision must be right, after all, there is no emotional foundation between you under the snow~"

After hearing this, Hachiman didn't realize that there might be a little eagerness in his waiting tone.

"Are you really opposed to this engagement because of this under the snow?"

After Takasaka said this, his eyes looked straight at Hachiman~

“... There may be Yubihama, Akiba, and Sakura~"

Seeing this look, Hachiman somehow his tone was always a little lacking in confidence.

"Alas... It seems that you really don't understand~"

"If you want to talk about the emotional foundation, I think it's just that Xue and I are childhood sweethearts, there is~"

"And if you want to talk about Sakura, even if Yukino doesn't object to this marriage contract, we won't get married immediately, she can still stay with her friends, don't you say?"

After Takasaka finished speaking, Hachiman found that he had nowhere to refute, after all, it seems that this is really the case...

"That's... Why is there opposition under the snow? Hachiman asked at Takasaka.

"I don't know about this question, you can think about it yourself, but there may not be much time for you to think about it..."

After hearing Hachiman's inquiry, the look of disappointment in Takasaka's eyes flashed, and finally... Leave him a word, and leave, leaving Hachiman alone to stand in place in a daze~

………

"Bang~"

"Brother, you're back!"

As soon as there was a knock on the door, Komachi's voice followed.

"Hmm~"

Hachiman replied a little absent-mindedly.

"I'm back, let's go take a shower when I'm back~"

Hachiman looked at the source of the voice and saw that his father was looking at the newspaper in his hand, and the words had just come out of his mouth.

"Hmm~"

Answering casually, Hachiman went to his room.

"Brother, is something happening?"

Komachi stood in front of the door and looked at Hachiman, his face faintly worried.

"It's nothing, Komachi don't worry~"

Looking at Komachi's worried face, Hachiman stepped forward, gently touched his head, and said with relief.

"Did that Takasaka-kun tell you something?"

Obviously, Komachi is not as perfunctory as Hachiman thought~

"No, you don't have to think about it~"

After hearing this, Hachiman's heart skipped a half-beat, but on the surface he still tried his best to deny it.

"Brother, we are a family, we have lived together for so long, brother, I already know what habits you have, just now your eyes obviously drifted, proving that you are weak in heart~"

Komachi stared into Hachiman's eyes with a nonchalance smile on his face.

"Uh..."

Suddenly, Hachiman felt embarrassed... I can't say a word~

"Brother, just say it, right? Did that Takasaka-kun tell you something? ”

Komachi continued to ask.

“... That~"

"Hachiman, have you come down, if you want to take a bath, hurry up~"

Just when Hachiman couldn't help but want to speak, his father's voice sounded just in time.

"You see~ my father called me, so... I'll go first~"

Suddenly, Hachiman "slipped away" like a fly, and he was still sighing in his heart, "It's so dangerous, I almost said it."

"Brother, I'll wait for you to come back after taking a shower..."

After hearing the voice of Komachi behind, Hachiman couldn't help but speed up his pace again~

"Hmph~"

Looking at the back of his brother leaving quickly, Komachi pursed his cute lips, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart~

………

Thirty minutes later, Hachiman "quietly" walked out of the bathroom, his eyes looking left and right, as if looking for Komachi's absence.

"Brother, what are you looking for?"

Just as Hachiman was concentrating on "glancing" ahead, a faint voice suddenly came from behind~

"Huh!" Suddenly, Hachiman's body stiffened, and he turned around mechanically to find Komachi looking at him with a "smile~

"Yo, what a coincidence!"

Hachiman smiled awkwardly and politely.

"Hey, hey! Brother, I'm waiting for you here, can it be a coincidence? ”

Komachi "smiled" and looked at Hachiman and said.

"Uh... What are you waiting for me here? ”

Hachiman asked with a sideways turn of his face and a somewhat weak tone.

"What do you say?!"

Komachi still looked at Hachiman with a smile on his face.

"Do you want to say 'good night' to my brother?"

After saying this, Hachiman gently observed the change in Komachi's face~

"Hehe~"

After hearing Hachiman's words, Komachi didn't speak, just kept smiling and looking at Hachiman.

Gradually, a cold sweat began to appear in Hachiman's mind~

"Okay, Komachi, I'll tell you if I really can't solve it, so please listen to me at that time~"

At this moment, Hachiman already knows that he can't hide from it if he doesn't say something today...

"Alas, okay, Komachi won't force your brother anymore, it's just that we are family, and Komachi will definitely help my brother if something happens~"

Komachi looked at Hachiman, who had a sincere face, and left this sentence and went to his room...

………。

"What the hell am I... What do you want? ”

In the living room, only Hachiman's sentence was left in deep doubt...
