As soon as I walked out of the hospital gate, I flagged down a taxi and got in.

The time on the phone is 11:15, after all, he has promised to come down to help his brother take care of his friend, so it is better not to be late. But what I care about is that the screen shows a missed call, and the call is to Okazaki.

I didn't notice it because the phone was in silent mode, but the battery is now only one bar. Forget it, you can't make a phone call this way, and you may turn off your phone immediately because of the lack of power just after the call, right? The next time I meet him, I'll ask what it is.

"Thank you, uncle."

After paying the fare, I thanked the driver's uncle who drove me all the way to my destination shopping street, and then pulled the door and rushed down.

I'm very grateful to my uncle for his unbeatable speed, and thanks to this, I was able to get to the shopping street before 12 o'clock, but the problem is...

"Hmm~"

I got motion sickness.

With my mouth covered, I walked down the street like a drunk.

… It's so nauseous, I feel like my stomach is churning, but fortunately I didn't eat anything in the morning, otherwise I would have started throwing up now.

And more importantly, the eyes of pedestrians on the street are really dazzling, and occasionally come to the ears such as "young people nowadays are really not talkative", "it's really messy to play until the morning and go home", "if my child is to teach him a good lesson" and so on.

Anyway, Auntie, I've heard all of your conversations! It's just not low, it's not high, and the volume is just right, is it specially for me?! Who else plays until morning, I'm obviously motion sickness and dizzy, be careful that I sue you for slander!

"Hmm~ Is this it?" Looking at the address written on the paper in my hand, I stood at the door of the store with shame, "... No way? ”

After confirming it again and again, I could only tell myself... That's right, this is it!

I pushed open the door of the store, and as soon as I stepped in, several figures ran towards me.

"Welcome back~ host!"

Hmm~ What a dazzling scenery!

That's right, the place where I'm standing right now is the legendary maid café! Although the class used to be a coffee house during the cultural festival, the professional thing is different, this smile, this word, that is an angel! In contrast, the girls in the class who did the cruel acts to me were just tigresses dressed as maids!

"Is the master a person?"

Oops! I almost lost myself in the atmosphere of being brought into the café all of a sudden.

"No, actually, I made an appointment with someone."

"Agreed? I see, it's the little lady waiting for someone! The maid who led me the way clapped her palm and smiled happily at me, "The guest has arrived, I'll show you the way." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry for you."

Sure enough, being called "master" by someone, especially by a girl who is close to your age, is really not a general shyness.

Walking to a window seat and stopping, the maid smiled and nodded at me and the owner of the seat.

"If you need anything, please ring the tablebell to call."

"Thanks, please give me a cup of coffee."

"Yes, please wait, master."

After watching the maid trot away, I pulled out my chair and sat down.

"That's... Excuse me," I couldn't help but wonder a little as I looked at the person in front of me, "Are you waiting for Mr. Izumi Poplar?" ”

"Hmm~"

No, they didn't answer my question, but pouted and looked me up and down.

"What's wrong?"

“… Unqualified. ”

It was several minutes after the maid brought me all the coffee that the three words came out of the other person's mouth.

I said, what is this?

"You can be regarded as Ah Yang's younger brother like this, it's really ordinary."

…

"Originally, I was looking forward to it, why did Ah Yang send this kind of guy?"

…

"What~ It's actually a little ghost, I'm really disappointed."

Hey, hey, hey!! You guy, you really got arrogant when I didn't speak! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry to be "this kind of guy"! Actually say I'm a little ghost? Anyway, you are!

"What, with an unconvinced expression, are you dissatisfied?"

Of course I am not satisfied!

I was going to raise my objection loudly, but it was a public place, so I couldn't do that, so I pointed at the other party with my anger.

"You're the little ghost, aren't you? At least give me respect for the elderly. ”

That's right, the "master" sitting across from me, that is, the object that my brother asked me to take care of for him, is a real imp!

With shoulder-length straight black hair, milk-like white and delicate skin, and a delicate appearance like a doll, although it will take a few more years to jump into the ranks of beauties, but just now is enough to attract attention to the promising little beautiful girl... In fact, it's a stinky little ghost who has no mouth.

"It hurts! Why are you kicking me?! ”

"Humph!"

It's a real headache, and it's violent.

"Well, since you know who I am, what is your name?" Touching the leg that hurt from the kick, I looked at the little girl with tears in my eyes, "Otherwise, I don't know what to call you." ”

"Hmm..."

It seems that I am stuck in the difficult problem of whether to tell my name or not, and the child's expression is so easy to understand.

"If not, I'll call you the way I like."

"Hinata."

As if unwilling to be nicknamed by me, the little girl immediately said her name.

"Ah~ Then I'll call you Hinino-chan."

Wait, how do you feel like you've heard this name before?

"Hinino-chan, what's your last name?"

"Why am I telling you this idiot?"

“… Please, Hinino-chan, "Hold back, you have to keep your smile on your face at this time," "Please tell me." ”

"Hmm~" Drinking the juice, Hina Nao secretly glanced at me a few times before pouting and saying, "... Kikutei. ”

Kikutei! Isn't this surname the surname of Cousin Ju's mother-in-law?! Is that the name that changed to a strange place because I married to Japan and took my husband's surname, and I laughed at it and was beaten badly by Sister Ju?!

In that case, could this girl be the cousin who is like a female tyrannosaurus... Daughter?

Looking at Hinino, who was concentrating on drinking juice, I felt a clammy cold on my back.

That bastard brother!
