Younger sister.

A magical creature.

Some sisters would run to their brother's room in the middle of the night, straddle their brother's body, slap their brother hard, and then say that they were going to have a life negotiation or something.

There are also younger sisters who always want to let their brother push them down, and they keep saying something like "even if it's a brother who has love, there is no problem" and the like.

There is also a sister who says that she doesn't know someone called "Teacher Eromana", a younger sister who is forced to wear a chastity belt, and a black-bellied sister who secretly gives benefits to her brother, and so on.

Overall, it's all a lot of fun.

Of course, there are more interesting ones, such as Kasugano......

Let's not talk about that.

Anyway, Qingming thinks that his sister is a very funny creature, but he really doesn't understand a little bit about his sister like Suzuki Sonoko and Gray Plains.

You don't need to understand it, though.

Either way, Akane's affairs have to be resolved.

Having said that, Qingming suddenly felt that maybe it would be a good thing for Akane to think about it, and maybe there would be some interesting reaction.

Will you get angry and make a fuss and then run out to find a lover?

Or do you swallow your anger and say nothing?

It's all possible.

But the probability of being able to remember it is also very low.

Let's not talk about that.

"I already know the matter, you go back, it's not important in the future, don't bother me."

Qingming waved his hand.

Because suddenly it doesn't seem like it's important, it's nothing to care about.

He doesn't have a special relationship with Akane, and the deletion and modification of the memory of Shuichi Akai at the beginning was just a casual one, without any special meaning.

So whether Akane will remember, whether she will be angry because of this, whether she will run to find her ex-boyfriend, Qingming doesn't care at all.

This is the opposite of Gray Hara's attitude.

"Isn't that important?"

Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe Qingming's attitude.

Anyway, in her opinion, as long as it concerns her sister, even if it is just a small matter, it is an important matter.

There can be no delay.

Such a matter must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it is inevitable that nothing will happen.

But Qingming didn't bother to care about her.

"Humph!"

Snorted coldly.

It didn't seem that he wanted to stay with Qingming for a second longer, so he got up and left directly.

Qingming just picked up the cup and took a sip.

Sigh softly.

"Ah Zi, the coffee is getting cold, give me a new cup."

"Got it!"

……

Afternoon.

Ayumi and her mother go to the mall.

Mom went shopping, and it happened that there was a Kamen Superman show in the mall, so I asked her to stay and watch.

There are also many children together.

The children seem to like Kamen Superman very much, and they cheer and shout for it in a hurry, which is not much worse than the scene of girls chasing stars.

Of course, that's not the point.

"Little girl, do you like Kamen Superman very much?"

“？”

The voice sounded right next to her, as if it was said to her, so Ayumi turned her head a little confused and looked at the person who spoke.

It was a woman.

Wearing a hat and lowering the brim, so you can't see what it looks like, maybe it's beautiful.

It feels like this anyway.

Moreover, the eyes seemed to be on her, so Ayumi asked.

"Auntie, are you talking to me?"

"Auntie......"

The face hiding in the shadows seems to be a little stiff.

This little girl......

It's really polite, it's a good boy.

"Do you like Kamen Superman?"

Without dwelling on the meaningless things, ask the previous question again.

Only when the other person answers can the next topic be introduced.

But......

"Mom said you can't talk to strangers, auntie."

“……”

Don't talk to strangers?

It's so unreasonable, what if someone wants to ask for directions? But not everyone knows the way.

For example, Huangquan Road.

Although there are many ways to get to Huangquan, there are always people who want to take some shortcuts.

Well, that's not to mention for now.

"Little girl, do you like Kamen Superman very much?"

“？”

Ayumi tilted her head and looked at the aunt who kept repeating the same question.

I still can't see my face.

"I like Kamen Superman, but I don't like people who wear masks, like you, Auntie."

"Wearing a mask? I didn't. ”

"Then why don't you let me see your face? What is the difference between a face that you can't see and wearing a mask? Or do you have no face, auntie? Forgot to take it with you? Or did you drop it on the road? Didn't anyone remind you? Or are you shameless? ”

“……”

It's just a little kid.

Yes, just a child, so be calm and don't get angry.

Merely......

Today's children really can't be underestimated.

The woman sighed to herself.

Then, simply don't dwell on this, just skip this step and plan later.

"Little girl, do you like masquerade?"

"Masquerade?"

"Yes, a lot of people will be invited, and everyone will go in disguise, pretending to be all kinds of ghosts and other things, it's fun, do you want to participate?"

“？”

Ayumi looked at the woman.

I didn't speak for a long time, just looked at her quietly.

Kamen Superman's show continues.

In my ears, I heard the cheers of children, as well as various sound effects and the like, which seemed to be very lively.

But it seems eerily quiet.

It seems like a long time has passed.

The reaction seemed a little different from what I imagined, and it was a bit unexpected.

But the woman still wants to continue her actions.

"The ......"

"Ernie sauce Ernie sauce said that as long as humans take off their disguises, they are living demons and monsters, although I don't quite understand, but is it not necessary for a masquerade to exist?"

“……”

This little girl......

It doesn't seem to be ordinary, and it's not as easy to deceive as you imagined.

But......

"Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce?"

"Well, Ernie Sauce, Oni Sauce, favorite."

Ayumi laughed.

It's a cute smile, just seeing this smile makes people want to hold her in their arms and love her.

Of course, women don't want to.

Just seeing such a smile, I seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then showed a smile.

"That's right."

She may have understood something.

Then, ask.

"Favorite ...... What kind of do you like? ”

“？”

"Is it just the liking of a big brother, or the liking of wanting to be his bride?"

"Hmmm......"

The little girl frowned and thought hard.

Seeing this, the woman smiled again.

"You're so cute, little girl."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the little girl's head.

But Ayumi dodged it.

The woman didn't care, but took out an envelope and handed it to Ayumi.

"This is for you, little girl."

“？”

"The invitation to the masquerade party, you can invite your Ernie sauce to go with you, it's held on a ship, and it will be fun then!"

"This ......"

"Let's take a look, and see if humans can turn into demons and monsters through disguise, or if they are demons and monsters in the first place."

The woman said so.

Shoved the envelope into Ayumi's hand, pulled the hat, left a mysterious smile, and turned away.

Ayumi tilted her head and looked at her back as she left.

"This aunt...... How weird! ”

Shake your head.

Looking at the envelope in his hand, he thought about throwing it away.

But after thinking about it, I put the envelope away.

Mom also bought good things and came back.

"Ayumi."

"Mom, have you bought anything?"

"I've got it, let's go, let's go home and make dinner with my mother."

"Hey!"

The little girl answered.

Take your mother's hand and walk home with your mother.

Around the corner.

The woman looked at their backs, the corners of their mouths, and a smile appeared.

"Good work!"

She thought so.

Then, another sentence was added.

"Probably."
