Today's training seems to be only tongue twisters, and the script is only familiar with all kinds of things.

The chief director said that today was just a warm-up, and the real practice started tomorrow.

I don't know why the girls stayed, but if you're done, you can go back, right?

Although I am worried about whether Usami and Apricot will be planning something terrible, but since Furukawa and Starling and Kotomi have stayed, it shouldn't be messed around.

With such trepidation, I followed Okazaki and Haruharaa out of the department.

As soon as I left school, Haruhara, thinking that there was something else to do, left first, and Okazaki didn't seem to have anything to do, so he followed me to the supermarket.

"Canned food can~"

"Aren't you going to eat dinner?"

Looking at me with great interest in selecting canned food, Okazaki asked, puzzled.

"I can't help it when I'm hungry, and the bread I put in the drawer was eaten by you, right?"

"No, I never touch the bread in your room."

"Why? Aunt Sanae's bread this time is a new product. ”

Picking up the can, I looked at Okazaki suspiciously.

"I can't understand the deliciousness of Sanae bread, but it's a big loss."

"If you can understand, you can be regarded as a rare species."

"You're turning a corner and hurting me, aren't you?"

"Why, you're thinking too much."

Spreading his hand, Okazaki looked at me with an innocent expression.

Forget it, I forgot that this guy is a scoundrel too.

"And it's not that I don't want to eat it, but how to say it..."Looking at the words "ham" written on the label of the can in my hand, I couldn't help but sigh, "Do you know how many large boxes of bitter melons I received in the dormitory last weekend?" ”

"When I came here yesterday, I heard Misae still complaining, saying something like "I don't want to take that guy's things, but the vegetables are innocent" or something, so that's it, right?"

Okazaki shrugged helplessly.

"That's right, this is it!"

"This?"

"That guy is my brother, and the bitter melon was sent by my family."

"Huh?"

"Although it is my guess, my brother's words should be deliberate."

Touching my chin, I analyzed seriously with a frown.

"Knowing what the food I hate the most, and knowing what Misae won't refuse, whatever you think about that man is all calculated."

"So, the main dish for dinner today is bitter gourd."

Finally, the answer is obtained.

"It's the first time I've seen someone who can visualize the expression of the Big Dipper God Fist."

"Is that the point?"

"Anyway, you put away that tough guy expression first."

"Hmph, this shows that this incident is very serious, and it is already an emergency!"

"It's not that serious, if that's the case, it will snow tomorrow."

"It's summer."

"That's right, summer."

"......" I glared at him when I heard what he meant, "Then I'm sure I'll be the first to beat you down." ”

"But I didn't expect you to be so scared."

"Scared?" I couldn't understand how Okazaki came to this conclusion, and I couldn't help but snort, "It's just plain annoying." ”

"Put away your "why don't you even understand such a simple thing" smile for me."

Sighing helplessly, Okazaki grabbed his hair.

"Be careful not to be known to Misae."

"Hmm... You're to the point, do you want to pretend to have a stomachache at dinner? ”

Thinking that Misae had a habit of strictly monitoring whether we were picky eaters, I stopped what I was doing and touched my chin and thought.

"If you find out afterwards, you'll die even worse."

“… Forget it, let it be. ”

It's useless to worry about this, after all, Misae is the big demon king character of LV.100, and the method that he came up with by grinding the gun in battle is not as good as improvisation.

"But I didn't expect you to be so cooperative, I thought you would object when I heard that I was going to fight back."

"Cooperation? I'm sure I have something against it, but," Okazaki shrugged as he yawned, "and I think Usami's idea is quite original." ”

It's rare for him to say something that is very inconsistent with his usual style.

"If it succeeds, it may lead to unexpected results."

"You have a point, it's enough to attract attention."

"And I also got a lot of help from Nagisa, and I always wanted to find an opportunity to repay her, and now is the best opportunity."

When he said this, his face was also different from the usual seriousness.

"Do you mean that you are temporarily living in the Furukawa family?"

"Which pot are you kid not opening and mentioning?"

"But Furukawa's words, I guess I didn't think about asking you to repay anything."

"It's really her style."

"But she'd be glad she knew you thought so, wouldn't she?"

"Verbosity, don't tell her what we just said."

"Yes, yes, yes."

It's obvious that he said it himself, but he became shy, this guy is really a tsundere.

"Rather than worrying about me, you should worry about yourself."

"Me?"

"Apricots, they seem to be planning something."

"There's really nothing you can do with them."

Knowing what Okazaki was referring to, I sighed helplessly.

Even if you want to make a protest, I believe it will be dismissed.

"And even if we knew, we would have to bite the bullet."

After all, we're in the third grade, and this might be our last chance.

"That's right," Okazaki understood what I meant and nodded in agreement, "We won't be here next year, and if we can perform well this time, it would be nice if we could recruit new people." ”

"Yes, that's it."

With a snap of my fingers, I nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, let's do what we can now."

Patting Okazaki on the shoulder, I walked towards the cash register with the cans I had chosen.

—————————— dividers——————————

Because Okazaki had to rush back to Furukawa's house for dinner, we separated after walking out of the supermarket.

"Honestly, if you're idle, why don't you go for a run?"

"Hahaha~ How do you feel like I'm being treated as a troublemaker?"

"I don't feel wrong, Poplar, you didn't get into trouble when you appeared."

"Hehe, don't praise me like that."

"Where did you see that I was complimenting you?!"

When I was about to walk to the dormitory, the person who was talking at the door slowed my pace.

The brother who crossed his waist and smiled proudly held Misae, who was sighing on his forehead.

In a sense, I really don't want to go over.

"Yo! Isn't this a leaflet? ”

Although I wanted to sneak around to avoid it, I was still seen.

"Long time no see, brother," I was glad that I put the snacks I bought in my bag on the way, and I went up to say hello, "Why did you come here today?" ”

"There are too many vegetables sent from my hometown, so I'll bring some."

"Didn't you just take it last time?"

"After all, grandpa sent a lot more," shrugged, and his brother said that he was also helpless, "and I can't eat it at all, so it's better to share it than to waste it?" ”

"Uh..."

In the face of such correct statements, I don't know how to refute them at all.

"Don't sigh~ Don't you see that Misae is also happy to accept it?"

"After all, the vegetables are innocent, and where am I happy?"

"Hahaha, the shy look is still so cute."

"White! Poplar! Do you want to fight?! ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't help but want to tease you, after all, Misae's reaction is much more fun than Yusuke's."

Looking at Misaeda, whose face was already flushed, and my brother, who was still smiling and not having the slightest introspection, although I was very sorry for her, I decided to slip away as soon as possible.

"That's right, Xiaoye!" As soon as he took a step, he was stopped by a shout, "I heard Kanako say that she will participate in this cultural festival with you." ”

"That's right."

That rabbit... Not only did she participate together, but she was also our chief director and screenwriter.

I can't help but have a headache when I think about that script.

"In this way, it's almost time for the cultural festival to be held."

Touching his chin, Misae nodded as well.

"That's right~ I remember that we were under the oppression of Misae at that time, but we did it very decently."

"What do you mean by "under the pressure of Misae"?" Hearing her brother say this, Misae was very unhappy and clasped her hands and glared at him, "It's obvious that it's Poplar that you need to reflect on the most, right?" ”

"Me?"

Pointing at himself, his brother tilted his head with a puzzled expression.

"The firecrackers at the opening ceremony, the toy frogs in the hallway, and a whole lot of pranks," said Misae, clenching her fists and trembling in a voice that seemed to suppress her anger, as if recalling the scene, "You have forgotten everything, have you?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not looking at the past," my brother waved his hand embarrassedly, scratching his head, "but when you say that, I remember." ”

"You'd rather give me a little reflection!"

Misae's eyes turned into inverted triangles, and it seemed that she was really angry.

"Well~ I know, I'll reflect on it," seemed to be suppressed by Mei Saeda's momentum, and his brother spread his hands with a wry smile, "But you see that we're talking about Xiaoye's cultural festival now, and we're not going to turn over old accounts here, right?" ”

"Woo~ yes."

No, no, no, you don't have to worry about me at all, it's better to say that please turn it over as much as you like.

And Misae, you must not be fooled, this person just wants to change the topic!

"Are you going to put on a play? What kind of drama? ”

It seems that it cannot be ignored.

“… Cinderella. ”

"Oh oh ~ it's really romantic."

"It's, it's okay."

"Xiao Ye, what role did you play in it?"

"Count, sort of the main character, right?"

Scratching my head, I looked away.

"Protagonist, is it the prince?"

… I'm sorry, but it's actually the heroine.

Just as I was struggling with what to answer, an unexpected helper appeared.

"Guessing the role played by the actor is also one of the pleasures of watching the show," the brother who showed a gentle smile said amiably to help me out, "If it's spoiled now, won't it be boring?" ”

This guy... You're the one who started the topic!

"Hmm... If so, it is. ”

"Right, right, let's go and see it together with anticipation."

"That's right, it's also a sign of respect for the actors," Misae nodded, but she calmly corrected the mistake in her brother's words, "And who said I was going to watch it with you?" ”

"Isn't it?! Misae: Are you going to go to the cultural festival of young couples in pairs alone? ”

"The word lonely is completely redundant, right?!"

"I'm sorry, but I should be visiting the cultural festival full of youth by myself."

"Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness! I'm really sorry for being alone! ”

"No, no, no! I didn't mean that..."Realizing that he had stepped on a landmine, my brother smiled apologetically, "Of course a group of people is more fun to play alone than a group of people." ”

"A group of people?"

"That's right, I still have Hinata, and I'll make an appointment with Yusuke and the teacher when the time comes."

"There's really no way to go if Hinano goes, but why are you still calling the teacher, and now the teacher is Mrs. Yoshino."

"It's a good name, and aren't you also called a teacher?"

"Hmm~ Indeed."

Looking at their conversation like old friends, it felt like it was completely superfluous for me to stand here.

"Then don't bother you, I'll go back to my room first."

Nodding to them, I was ready to retreat like this.

"Come on, we'll definitely come to the cultural festival."

I had no choice but to raise my head and wave my head at my brother's encouragement, making a feeble response.

Just thinking about how I had to perform in a skirt made me feel a stomachache.
