With a depressed mood, I took Mei to join Okazaki and Furukawa, who were hiding on the side.

What can I say about this battle...

Failure on all fronts.

Because everyone understands this, morale is very low.

"Anyway, we know that Haruhara's lack of concern for Mei Yi is not at all."

Although it is said to liven up the atmosphere, it does not work very well.

But compared to us, Mei Yi's efforts to pretend to be cheerful make people feel more distressed to watch.

In the end, everyone discussed and decided to go back first, especially now that I am dressed, it is okay to be seen by the students, at most it is just a little gossip in the school, if it is a teacher...

Uh~ I can't help but have a little stomach ache just thinking about it.

Cautiously made his way to the dormitory without meeting acquaintances.

This kind of hiding in Tibet is like doing something wrong, and I can't help but want to laugh at myself when I hide behind.

If you thought it would be such a trouble, you shouldn't have listened to Okazaki and go back to the dormitory to change your clothes, and if you had brought your school uniform with you, you wouldn't have to go so far.

It took a lot of time to get to the door of the dormitory a few steps away.

Finally... It's finally here!

Lifting his spirits, he quickly ran towards the door, and when his hand was about to touch the handrail, the door opened automatically.

Immediately after, a man in a shirt walked out.

However, when I saw this man's face clearly, my original joy was instantly extinguished like a watered flame.

How did you come across him? No, it should be how he is right!

In short, it is imperative to slip away as soon as possible.

"Hey, Xiaoye, you're back!"

"Ahh

… Got caught.

"What's the matter with you?"

"Uh... Is it good-looking? ”

Maybe the old brother who likes to wear printed shirts can understand this taste.

"It's like wanting to be a wolf and still be a sheep in the end."

"It's not that serious..."

And what kind of description is this?

"Don't have this expression, brother, I'm also from here, youth~ It's not bad to do something stupid once in a while."

Although I don't know what my brother misunderstood, it's definitely not a good thing to be 100%.

"Brother, why are you here?"

"I sent a lot of bitter gourds at home, I kept some, and I brought the rest to share with everyone."

"Bitter melon? I bought it at the supermarket, is it necessary to send it over?! ”

"The old man was obsessed with farming some time ago, and it happened to be a bumper harvest again, so..."

"So you excitedly sent it here to show off?"

Covering my forehead, I sighed weakly.

Really, I actually forgot that my brother's super action to do what he wants is not from his grandfather?

"But even if you give me the bitter gourd, I don't..."

Halfway through, I hurriedly stopped.

"I know you don't like to eat Xiaoye, so I'll give it to Misaeda."

Woo~ This move is too ruthless, and it deserves to be a shake S that is heavier than Okazaki!

Now it seems that the food in the past few days must have bitter gourd! Do you want to consider buying takeout? However, the thickness of the purse should also be worried.

"Don't really become a bitter gourd face, Misae will be sad to see it," my brother patted me on the shoulder with a smile of "just come on", "Ah! By the way, remember not to be late for the next checkup. ”

“… I don't think I'm too bad. ”

"The old man is very worried about you, so he should think of it as a filial piety that doesn't let the old man worry about it."

… What, if you were worried, you would send me here to study?

However, I didn't say anything with my careful eyes, but I was slightly dissatisfied in my heart.

"Wait!" Remembering something very important, I hurriedly ran forward and grabbed my brother who had already started to descend the steps, "I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

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

"Do you mean that Yang Ping-kun?"

"Yes, yes."

"Hmm... It's going to be like this. ”

"So we're also having a headache right now and don't know what to do."

"I'm going to think about this..."

Scratching his hair, the elder brother lowered his head in distress.

And I sat across from him, waiting for his answer.

Although I know that I am not ambitious to find someone to help me immediately when I encounter difficulties like an elementary school student, I don't know why, but I just think that if it was my brother, I might be able to come up with a better way than us.

By the way, because I'm too conspicuous, and it's not good to stand in the door and talk all the time, so we changed places to talk, but this one...

"Even if you think about it, tell me why Poplar is in my room?"

With a large "well" on her head, Ms. Misae brought the tea she had brewed.

"Don't worry about these little details."

"It's not a small detail, wouldn't it be troublesome if there were any rumors?"

"Haha~ Misaeda, do you still care about gossip? It's obviously this age, wow! ”

The elder brother deflected his head and dodged Misae's full force.

But I think it would be nice if he could get up.

"Poplar, do you want to try a new trick I've developed recently?"

The five fingers clenched together made a gurgling sound, and Misae looked at her brother with a smile without a smile.

"Hey, it's very dangerous, but fortunately it's me, if ordinary people can't avoid it."

"Really? I'll be careful not to let you dodge that next blow. ”

"That's it, forget it, ah! I see... Misae, I'm sorry! ”

"You... Huh? ”

"I'm sorry I didn't notice that you're old enough to care about your age."

"Don't apologize so honestly and act like I care!"

"Don't worry, Misae, you're a year younger than me, you're still very young."

"I said, Poplar, do you really want to get some sleep?"

"Calm down, you're only 2 this year!"

Just as my brother said "2", Misae picked up a croquet on the table and stuffed it into my brother's mouth, and it took me 2 seconds to react to my skills.

"Ahem," Misaeda coughed awkwardly as she withdrew her hand, then turned her head and looked at me with a smile, "Izumi, you didn't hear anything, did you?" ”

"Yes!"

As much as I care, now is not the time to be a curious baby.

"So, Poplar-kun, can you explain? If you're just trying to find faults, I'll talk to you. ”

"I know, because the most convenient place to talk nearby is, of course, Misaeda, you here."

"Most convenient?"

"Look at it, do you think you can walk around like this?"

"I've always wondered how Izumi dressed up like this... Does it have something to do with Poplar? ”

"It's rude, if I did, it would be even more fancy."

“… There is no denying this. ”

"If you think about it, boys at this age are very sensitive in their minds, and there are always things in the room that can't be discovered by adults, right? Wouldn't it be nice if I just walked in so boldly and found something? ”

"That's what you say..."

"Not really! And Misaeda, don't believe it! ”

Misae, weren't you still standing on the opposite side of your brother just now?! Why is there a consensus on this at this time!

"Xiaoye, don't you have any collections?"

"Nope!"

"What?!"

"Why do you look surprised?"

“……”

"Don't stop talking all of a sudden!"

Why is everyone silent, I don't need this kind of heavy tenderness!

I always felt that there was a terrible misunderstanding in this.

"Ahem, then it's almost time to get back to business."

Wait a minute! While it should be, don't jump back in this situation! At least let me explain that I'm jumping!

"So," he took a deep breath, and his brother's expression shifted to serious mode, "I don't think I can help with this time." ”

Huh——————?!!!

"It should be said that it's not just me, even you better not make a move."

Seriously, he said something that surprised me so much that my eyeballs would pop out.

"Brother, are you kidding, do you know what Haruhara looks like now? If you don't do it, it will only get worse! ”

"I just wanted to say Xiao Ye, do you really understand?" Unlike the usual grinning look, my brother stared at me with a slightly indifferent expression, "What is the real problem with the Haruhara siblings?" ”

"The real problem..."

"What does Mei really want to see, is it just that I hope Yohei can still care about her as much as before?"

"And, if you don't want to change even the central character this time, do you think it will be effective?"

"Intervening without even understanding the essence of this will not help at all."

Listening to my brother's reproach, I lowered my head and clenched my fists.

Like my brother said, if it weren't for the things we did, the relationship between Haruhara and Mei might not have become as awkward as it is now, but...

I know Mei's mood.

No matter how stupid Haruhara is, no matter how much trouble he causes to the surroundings, Mei Yi is still willing to trust him and hopes that he will change back to what he was before, because she has grown up watching Haruhara's back since she was a child, and she has always had infinite longing for her brother.

I understand this feeling.

That's how I grew up.

Since I was a child, I looked at the back of that person, trying to catch up behind, although I knew that I would never be able to catch up, but I still hoped to get closer, even if it was a little bit, and I was already satisfied with this alone.

But!

Mei Yi is different from me, her wish is not to chase behind, but to hope that when she stumbles, Haruhara, she can rush over as soon as possible, and reach out to her as before and say, "Mei Yi is okay".

So... That's why I want to help her so much.

"But Haruhara, he was shaking when he saw me and Mei Yi together, doesn't that mean..."

"It's the same if I see you walking with a girl on the street, especially if the other person is still someone you know."

"You're just looking at the problem of the Haruhara siblings according to your own ideas."

"Yangping has his own ideas, you just impose your own ideas..."

"Brother, you don't understand at all!"

I couldn't take it anymore and almost yelled to interrupt him.

"What kind of mood is Mei Mai, I... What kind of mood we are! ”

clenched his fists, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"I don't know what kind of mood you guys are in, but it turns out that all you did before was to make things more troublesome."

"You know Mei's thoughts, but who among you knows Yangpei's thoughts?"

"I haven't figured out even the basics, so does this help?"

"At the end of the day, it's just a form of self-satisfaction on your part."

Listening to my brother's cold words, my heart felt as empty as if it had been hollowed out.

My mind went blank and I didn't know what to say.

Maybe as my brother said, I was so active in wanting to help Mei Yi out of a kind of self-satisfaction, but after these days, this mood is different from the beginning, just simply hope that Mei Yi's wish can come true, and hope that the two of them can reconcile.

"Look, aren't you aware of it yourself?"

No, it's not.

"At this point, it's best to leave it alone."

Have to... Something has to be said...

"That's not right!"

He slapped the table and stood up, retorting like a scoundrel like a child.

"I believe that Mei Yi's heart Haruhara will definitely be able to feel it!"

"Although Haruhara is a fool, he is really worried about Meiyi!"

"I'm sure Harubara and Mei will be able to change back to what they used to be!"

In order not to give my brother a chance to refute, I ran out as soon as I finished speaking.

"I said that's okay?"

Looking at the empty doorway, Misae asked the culprit.

"What did you say?"

"If you want to give a hint, wouldn't it be nice to just say it."

"Haha, you can see it."

"Forget how long I've known you?"

"That's true, but there are some things that they have to discover for themselves, and there is no point in saying them."

"But is it necessary to say such bullying words? Didn't you always know how the child felt? ”

"I have to say this because I know it," a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Poplar sighed tiredly, "I only need to play the villain." ”

“… You're a fool. ”

"No way, even if it's a stupid person, it's my cute brother."
