The shopping street "MORE" is a long-established café that has been around for a long time, and the interior of the shop is a simple beige color, and the music is always played with gentle and lyrical country music, which is in stark contrast to the bustling shopping street, and the business is much inferior to the maid café on the same street, and the customers who come here are all hardcore regular customers.

I found it on my way back to my dormitory after buying Sanae bread once, and I have been frequenting it since that time because of the interesting name and the unique taste of the homemade coffee of the store manager, Shimazaki.

For me, it's a place where I can relax, forget about my surroundings, leave my friends behind, and heal my tired soul.

As you can imagine, when I saw that the place agreed by Usami was actually "MORE", which I had been frequenting, I was stunned.

The thought that the information of his private activities would be grasped by rabbits, he couldn't help but start to break out in a large cold sweat on his back.

But it seems that the truth is not like that...

Sticking out her tongue, Usami looked at the cup in front of her with a sad expression.

"What the hell is going on with this espresso? Sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, is it a punishment game? ”

"What kind of punishment is this?"

If you do have the information, no one will spend money on a drink they don't like, unless the person is a fool or has masochistic tendencies, but the point is that the obviously oversmart rabbit is on the violent side.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have ordered the same thing as you, senior."

"It's not that bad," I said, picking up my cup and taking a long sip of my coffee, "Look, isn't it delicious?" ”

This espresso is the homemade coffee of Mr. Shimazaki mentioned in the previous introduction, and its charm lies in the fact that it has a texture that cannot be tasted anywhere, and it is an epoch-making work that combines all the flavors into one.

I regret that Usami can't appreciate the deliciousness of coffee.

“… Senior, I'm really worried about your future life. ”

Staring at me with eyes that saw through my thoughts, Usami sighed without knowing what she was sorry for.

"What do you mean?"

"There is a possibility of food poisoning 24 hours a day, alas~ I almost know why you don't look long, senior... It's nothing. ”

"What's the deal with that silence?!"

I care so much! And that "24 hours", doesn't that mean I've been poisoned all my life?!

"Usami has a point," poking the cream on the cake, Okazaki didn't mean to defend me at all, ignoring my protesting eyes and yawning towards the door, "Speaking of which, we've been waiting here for almost half an hour, when will that person come." ”

As he spoke, the bell in front of the store rang with a "bell".

"Oh~ people are here," Usami waved at the person who had just walked in, "here and here!" ”

"Haha, hello everyone~ Sorry I'm late," greeted us, and the man didn't care about everyone's surprised expressions, and sat directly on the empty seat next to me, "Please give me lemon juice!" ”

Naturally, he raised his hand and shouted towards the bar.

That posture, there is no embarrassment at all, and among the people I know, the skin can be so thick, and it is only...

“g… g… Why is it your brother! ”

"Why me, you ask? Ah, thank you," took the lemon juice from the clerk, and the corners of his mouth hooked proudly, "Isn't this a matter of course, it's my brother who talks to Kanako on the phone." ”

Sure enough, I thought it was boring at first! Hey? Is your relationship with Usami good enough to call each other names?

"Senior, don't look at people with such hot eyes, you'll be embarrassed~"

What is this rabbit talking nonsense, even if you give me a million, you won't look at you with any burning eyes... Ah, the vicious gaze seems to be burning, right?

"Xiao Ye, you... Forget it, it's all my brother, I didn't educate you well. ”

"Since it's my brother, don't deepen the misunderstanding for me!"

But he didn't listen to my protests at all, and my brother had already turned his head away from him.

"Roar~ Hello Xiaoxing."

"Roar~ Brother Poplar hasn't seen you for a long time."

Is this the new way of greeting that is now in vogue? Judging by the familiarity, the two of you shouldn't really be connected!

"This is a starling, it's as cute as my sister."

"Yes, you, hello."

Do you devil want to reach our pure starlings with venomous claws?!

"Ah~ Kotomi, it's been a long time, do you remember me?"

"You used to be with the old grandfather... Strange brother? Hello, my name is Kotomi, three Hiragana Kotomi, and her interest is reading. ”

Kotomi ~ is really a good boy, and in the face of this "strange brother", he will introduce himself seriously.

"Eh, that... I always think that this little sister has seen it there? ”

"I'm Nagisa Furukawa, and Izumi-kun is a partner in a club."

"Furukawa? Oh! I see, Xiaozhu, do you know an uncle named Qiusheng? ”

"That's my dad."

"Haha, I just feel very familiar, I didn't expect Qiusheng to have such a lovely daughter... No, it's supposed to inherit Miss Sanae, but Xiao Nagisa, you're too outward, just call me Brother Poplar! ”

Hey, it's "Xiao Nagisa"? You're ripe too quickly, aren't you?

"Oh~ long time no see... Pengye-kun. ”

“… yes, hello. ”

Brother, you forgot Okazaki's name just now, right? Even though you smile and try to hide the past, the black lines on Okazaki's face show that he is aware of it.

… Wait, is it time for me to complain about this?!

“… Brother, you're not taking care of Hina now, why did you come here? ”

"Don't worry, I helped Hinino-chan go through the enrollment procedures for kindergarten, and it's not school time yet."

Kindergarten? Isn't Hinano supposed to play for a while like a tourist and then go back? How did you become like you were going to settle down for a long time?!

"Ahem, let's get to the point," avoiding my questioning eyes, my brother turned his gaze to Chunyuan, who was sitting opposite, "The little brother who needs help is you, right?" Sure enough, it's as easy to recognize as you heard.,The hair is very individual.。 ”

"Ah, yes! I'm Yohei Haruhara. ”

Haruhara sat up nervously and straightened.

"Hmm~ It's not bad, the eyes are also very energetic, and the bones of the body don't look bad," touching his chin and looking at Haruhara carefully, his brother asked suspiciously, "The conditions are not as bad as I imagined, how can I not find a girlfriend?" ”

"Well, how do you say that... The cause of Haruhara, is quite special. ”

"Yes, yes, it's not the kind that can be explained simply."

Okazaki and I looked a little embarrassed and looked a little awkward.

It's really a sharp question, you can't say it's because Haruhara's stupidity, right? That's too straightforward, too hurtful.

"I think it's because of Senior Haruhara's performance at school that left a bad impression on everyone."

is worthy of Usami, the rhetorical skills of the ace of the Ministry of Information are really not covered.

"Ahh~ So that's the case," nodded understandingly, my brother shook his head and shrugged his shoulders, "It's been so long, I didn't expect that there is still a bad atmosphere in the school that only looks at people with short-sighted colored eyes." ”

That expression has the meaning of "deep sympathy".

But these words, in my opinion, as a younger brother, the reason why I was blinded by the eyes around me was completely caused by my brother's own doing.

Of course, I don't have the guts to say that.

"Then brother, how are you going to help?"

"It's very simple, I heard that the key to this problem is that Haruhara-kun doesn't have a girlfriend, so as long as there is a "girlfriend", this will be solved."

Speaking of this, my brother suddenly took out a small notebook from his jacket, and quickly wrote a few words on it, then ripped it off and carefully folded it in half and then folded it in half.

"At noon, the bookstore owner contacted me and said that the book I had ordered before had arrived, Xiao Ye, you go and pick it up for me."

Without asking me if I wanted to, my brother handed me a neatly folded piece of paper.

"Just give the note to the boss and let him see it, and he will know that it is the goods I want."

And very thoughtful to add.

Suddenly ask me for something? Didn't we talk about how to solve the problem of Haruhara not having a girlfriend?

"Oh~ I understand," I understood my stunned expression with my own thinking, and the corners of my brother's mouth curved, revealing a playful expression, "Xiaoye, don't you know where the only bookstore in the shopping street is?" ”

"Nonsense, of course I know!"

“… Go five meters to the left at the intersection. ”

"Don't underestimate people!"

"But brother, I'm worried, do you want to ask everyone here if you're willing to be with you..."

"I'll be able to show you this in a few minutes!"

I grabbed the note, left a bold word, stood up and pushed the door out quickly.

In the future, I have thought more than once that if I can calm down at this time, calm down a little, even if I calm down a little, maybe I can avoid the misfortune that will happen next, but for me who is now upright, I am still unhappy except for my brother, and I don't think about anything else.

———————————— dividing line————————————

"Ahhh~ I really can't take this kid," after seeing me walk out of the store, Poplar shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly at Okazaki, "Although my younger brother is quite smart, he is just like you see, a stupid person who will run away as soon as he pokes the point." ”

Then earnestly bow your head and please.

"As his older brother, I'm grateful to be friends with that kid."

For the 360° turn of his attitude, Furukawa and they seemed a little overwhelmed.

"Izumi... Ah, Brother Poplar, don't say that, I've always been happy to be friends with Izumi-kun. ”

"That's right! Every time I need help, Quan-kun will come to help, and I think the same as Xiao Nagisa! Right, Kotomi? ”

"Well, Izumi is a friend!"

"Well~ Although that guy is indeed a little stupid and naïve, but the most class leader and friends, friends and friends, I will watch him take a good look at him and not do stupid things."

"Xing, you stammered a little just now."

"Whew, whew! You are! ”

"Yes, yes, but even if that kid has a lot of shortcomings, it's from our side, I'll keep an eye on him and Haruhara."

"Why am I included?!"

"Isn't it? Wasn't Izumi with you when you did all those stupid things? ”

"What's the stupid thing about? And aren't you also together, the three of us are a golden combination! ”

"Huh... It's my delicate mood. ”

"That's it, the seniors really like the seniors, so Brother Poplar, your worries are all scrapped."

"Haha, that's true, but this scrapped mood is unexpectedly comfortable."

Poplar showed a faint smile and looked at the young girls in front of him gently.

But this smile only lasted for a few seconds, and immediately the expression on his face changed back to his usual cynical appearance.

"Speaking of Yangping-kun, I actually have something to ask you for."
