Chapter 52: Sakagami siblings
It took me a moment to explain what had happened to the Sakagami siblings, but fortunately, they quickly understood the current situation I was facing.
"You mean you're being chased by unknown people right now," Tomoyo pondered as he touched his chin, "and it's not clear what the other party's purpose is. β
"But it's certain that that person's target is you, big brother."
Sakagami's younger brother made the point very clear.
"Ah, that's true." I nodded affirmatively, but the question was in the back, "But it's because of this that people don't understand why the target is me." β
"Can you come up with any clues?"
"Well... I'm sorry," I said negatively, shaking my head at Tomoyo, "After all, I only came to Japan this semester, and I had no idea what trouble I would get into during this time. β
The rest of us all fell silent, except for the "tick-tock" sound of the wall clock in the living room.
"Forget it, I don't think there's anything I can do if I think about it like this." Thinking that at least I couldn't trouble the Sakagami siblings who took such good care of me, I got up from the couch and bowed to them, "Thank you very much for helping me, it's better for me to leave now, thank you." β
With that, I picked up the coat on the sofa and turned to leave the living room before they could react.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as I was walking to the entrance, I was grabbed by the arm by Tomoyo, who reacted and caught up.
ββ¦ Tomoyo, what is this for? β
"I just wanted to ask what you want to do?!" Rarely, Tomoyo rarely lost his temper with me and yelled at me angrily, "Are you a fool? Maybe that person is still wandering around here?! β
"I know." Because of my weak heart, I didn't have the courage to look directly into Tomoyo's eyes, but moved my eyes to the side, "But because of this, I can't stay here." β
"Because you're worried about us?"
ββ¦β¦β
Tomoyo saw through my thoughts in an instant, but the only answer to her was my silence.
"You're really just a fool." Tomoyo let go of the hand that grabbed my arm, sighed helplessly, and then stared at my face and said affirmatively, "Do you think that after I know about this, I will let you go?" β
"Huh?"
"Have you forgotten Izumi that I used to be called "Takehime"."
Even now... Of course, I don't have the courage to say it like that, just think about it in my heart.
"That's right, big brother, you can rest assured." At this time, Sakagami's younger brother came over with a cane, smiled and waved at me, "My sister is very strong~ Even if there are a dozen bad guys, it's no problem." β
"Yingwen, it's really depressing to hear you say that."
"Ahh Sister, that's not what I meant. β
"What does that mean?"
"Eh, that, that..."
"Excuse me, can I say a few words?"
Looking at the cross talk of the Sakagami siblings in front of me, I scratched my head and interrupted their conversation in embarrassment.
"Yes! Big brother, what are you going to say? β
Brother Sakagami turned his head to look at me with a look of great delight.
"I want to say it's better not to do this, it's too much trouble for you."
"It's nothing, you're already bothering us anyway, aren't you? It doesn't matter if you have one more. β
Although this is true, can you please not say it so directly? Let's be subtle.
"I didn't mean that, it would be too bad to put you in danger."
"Izumi," said Tomoyo, who walked up to me and suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged at my cheek, "Didn't I say it would be fine?" You're a brainless guy. β
"Hmmm! It's going to be rough and cover for a long time! β
"Hahaha~ Big brother, you're really interesting!"
Looking at my deformed face being pulled by Tomoyo, Brother Sakagami covered his stomach and laughed.
"Don't worry, Izumi, you have to try to believe that we are." Tomoyo let go of the hand that was pulling my cheek, and instead put his palm on my face and looked at me with a smile, "We're worried about you too." β
Looking at Zhidai in front of him, he suddenly had a warm feeling in his heart, which he couldn't say, couldn't describe, and his nose was a little itchy.
ββ¦ Be. β
"Great, then big brother will sleep in my room tonight."
"No, I'm sorry to bother." I hurriedly waved my hand and denied, "I'll just rest in the living room." β
"But..."
"At least that's what I'm going to do."
"Then I'll take the quilt off in a moment."
Seeing that I said this, Tomoyo knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, he would not be able to persuade the piece of wood in front of him, so he had no choice but to agree to my proposal.
"Well, I'm sorry for you."

"Big brother, can I call you Brother Scarlet Leaf?"
While Tomoyo went upstairs to help me get the quilt, I stayed in the living room with my brother Sakagami and chatted.
"Yes, no problem."
"Since that's the case, then Brother Scarlet Leaf, you shouldn't be so polite," Brother Sakagami said to me very warmly, "It's okay to call me Yingwen." β
"Well... Then I might as well be respectful. β
"Yes, you're welcome."
Younger brother Sakagami... Well, it should be Yingwen, how to say it, in fact, as long as you contact him, you will know that he is an enthusiastic person, and he is indeed the younger brother of Zhidai, and both sisters and brothers are very kind people.
"Speaking of which," Yingwen looked mysteriously in the direction of the stairs, then turned his head and whispered to me, "Brother Scarlet, what do you think of my sister?" β
"Chiyo?" I picked up the cup on the table and took a sip, looked up the stairs as well, and then turned back to look at Yingwen in confusion, "Very nice girl, helped me a lot." β
"Alas~ Sure enough." Yingwen pressed his forehead, leaned back on the sofa with an expression of "I obey you", then sat up again and waved his hand at me, "What about more specific?" β
"Well, are you specific?" Although it was strange why Yingwen asked this, I still touched my chin and thought seriously, "That's it!" Compared to Zhidai, she looks more like a senior, hehe~ Thinking about it this way, I usually receive a lot of help from her. β
I scratched my hair in embarrassment.
ββ¦ Brother Scarlet Ye," after listening to what I said, Yingwen solemnly put his hands on my shoulders, "You still need to come on." β
Come on? What do you mean?
Just when I was puzzled by Yingwen's words, the main characters in the dialogue walked down.
"What are you talking about? So happy. β
"Yo, sister." Yingwen stood up happily and shrugged at Zhidai, "It's fun to chat with Brother Scarlet Leaf, since you're all down, then I'll go back to the room first." Brother Scarlet Leaf, good night. β
"Yes, good night." Nodding politely to Yingwen, and after watching his figure disappear down the stairs, I turned to Tomoyo and smiled, "Your sister and brother have a really good relationship." β
"Yes." After hearing what I said, Tomoyo was stunned for a moment before nodding his head to me in affirmation, but not much, I felt that her smile was a little bitter, "... Oh, yes. β
"Ah, is that a quilt for me?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, I hurriedly changed the subject, "I'm really bothering you." β
"No, nothing." Tomoyo handed the quilt to me, nodded and walked towards the stairs, "Then you should rest quickly, you have classes tomorrow." β
"Yes." When Tomoyo walked up the stairs, I unconsciously stopped her, "Tomoyo! β
"What's the matter?"
"Thank you."
Tomoyo didn't say anything, just smiled at me, "Nothing." β
But... Even if you say that, thank you very much.
Looking at Tomoyo's figure disappearing on the stairway, I thought silently in my heart.
