Chapter 55: Sunflowers

In front of me is the golden color of the mountains, like a picture scroll that cannot be simply depicted in words.

It's constantly swaying......

It was as if even the air that had just been in the hustle and bustle was gradually stained with a hazy gold.

It was, just a week after the battle, and the scenery I saw the next day—

It's like an isolated ideal village......

It was as if everything that had happened was in "another world".

And there is no doubt that such a view is exactly what everyone is fighting for in the battlefield.

However, how long has it been since my brother came here for his first birthday when he was a child?

By now, the memory has become very ambiguous and hazy.

But it's great to see the same view again at this moment.

Although, it will never be possible to go back to that time...... I was satisfied, too.

However, it is only the color of the sunflower, but that color is present all around your fingertips.

“......”

No one is there......

Oops, if it goes on like this, I always feel like I'm going to want to take a nap ......!

But it doesn't matter if you actually fall asleep here, right? After all, it's a rare vacation.

"I don't know when I'll be summoned again—"

Thinking about it, Vane really wanted to sleep...... So she didn't hesitate to lie down on the spot!

"Comfortable—"

Moreover, today is also a sunny day, and it is rare to have good weather...... This weather is best for sleeping, right...... Just take a nap.

It's okay to just sleep like that, right?

At this moment, Vane slowly closed his eyes as if it were natural......

I used to run with my brother to this sunflower field not far from home.

Bask in such a scenery and shout out each other's troubles.

It seems that if you do this, you can forget about them as a matter of course.

After that, whether it was a quarrel with his brother; Angry; If it's awkward, I'll come to this place unconsciously.

Lingering in this scenery for a long time......

As for the reason why I have such an opportunity, it is thanks to my brother......

If my brother hadn't arrived in time at that time-

"What the hell will happen to me?"

So, brother...... Thank you! Looking back now, even now, I have been protected by such an elder brother-

"But I couldn't do the same thing all the time...... I'm sorry, brother......"

However, my brother never cared-

"What are you talking about, such a trifle...... Don't worry! ”

That being said, Lemuel knew better than anyone what his sister had been thinking.

But before this guy can really take charge of himself, such a role and position must be assumed by himself.

At the same time, you can only bear it yourself. Even if the price paid is bruises all over the body......

"Why?"

"Why are you doing that?"

Because, you don't need a reason for this, right? I'd rather let that guy survive than let myself live-

"You, it's this irrefutable argument again, it's boring—"

"Huh...... It's really unexpectedly hurtful for you to say that. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Riveria with a look of resentment on his face—

"Self-inflicted!"

As a result, the other party gave him a merciless roll of the eyes......

"Huh...... Why don't you be so straightforward, can you comfort me? ”

“...... You've got the wrong coquettish partner! Also, don't post it. Disgusting—"

"Alas......!"

It's not bad to try to pour out your worries or something in front of the sunflowers all over the mountains, isn't it?

Because they always listen quietly, quietly, until I am satisfied.

As a matter of course, it is a "I want it to be" role. ”

"Anyway, is it really okay to leave the treatment to Olivia?"

"No problem, and she took it upon herself, right?"

"Unsolicited?"

Suddenly, this surprised Riveria...... Because unknowingly, she helped Lemuel carry a lot of trouble.

Is there any reason why this has to be done?

However, even with good reason, she was too positive. It's even so positive that it makes people suspicious.

What kind of relationship does that guy have with him?

"Well, I offered to leave the treatment to her, so I didn't think too much about it-"

"Is there something wrong?"

"No, it's not—"

Yes, if anything, this is just speculation at the moment. In other words, at this moment, I have no conclusive evidence.

“?”

“...... Don't stare at me—"

Afraid of being exposed by him on the spot, Riveria turned her face away without saying anything!

“......”

Lemuel, however, couldn't figure out why she looked like she was angry.

"You're so weird—"

“...... It's not all because of you, stupid. ”

Of course, she certainly couldn't have said these things so bluntly-

"By the way, your sister is so bold as to sleep here...... What if something happens? ”

"So, that's why I brought you here......"

Is this being a bodyguard? Or do you want to be a door god? ——

"Your sister ...... cancer control!"

"Why do you want to use sister control as the premise-"

Riveria's accusation suddenly made him cry and laugh......

"Isn't it?"

However, when I think about it, I feel that there is no suitable reason to refute it. So, you can only admit it, right?

"Your injuries, are you okay?"

And in fact, even after a week...... Someone's right arm is still wrapped in a thick bandage.

"Well, are you alright?"

In order to show that he was okay, Lemuel also deliberately shook his arm heavily-

As a result, the pain made him grin and sweat profusely......

"Okay, okay, you don't need to be tough in front of me-"

Really, at this point alone, the brother and sister are really exactly the same. Is this a disadvantage or an advantage?

"How long do you think this vacation will be?"

"How do I know about such a thing...... But it's been a week, and it's almost over, right? ”

As soon as Riveria's words fell, she heard Lemuel's clearly annoying sigh—

At the end of the day, he's the kind of guy who likes to put everything on his face......

“...... It's so easy to understand. ”

"Huh? What did you say? ”

"I said you're really too easy to see through-"

"Didn't you already know about this kind of thing?"

- It's because of "I already knew" that I couldn't close the distance!

This has been the case so far, and it has even been taken first......

So, now...... It's really nice that guy isn't here-

Wait a minute! What am I doing...... How can you think about such a thing——!

Thinking about it, I unconsciously kept peeking at that guy. However, that guy is really slow enough about this.

"Hey, hey, don't even you?"

"Can't you? If it's just a door god, just one of you is enough, right? So, good night—"

“......”

Sometimes I really don't know what this guy is thinking. Looking at that unguarded and very enjoyable expression......

Lemuel had to think so.

Remember the same at that time, right?

It's just that at that time...... The reason why Wayne came here is entirely to blame.

It's just because he forgot to buy a birthday present.

My sister just-

"Brother, seppuku!"

It was awkward on the spot-

The cheeks are bulging like an overcooked meat bun.

"Huh?!"

Now, Lemuel can only give Letilia a look -

"Help me......!"

However, I didn't expect that at this moment...... She was also on her sister's side.

"This guy will be my sister soon, so of course I'll have to unite with Vane at this time-"

That's why she's doing it.

"Really?"

"Hmm!"

Oh, these two guys sing and harmonize, and they work well together, right?

But...... What should I do? Isn't there anyone to help me? The answer is obviously, no!

"Brother is so unreasonable!"

And at this moment, another person's voice suddenly burst into her mind under the premise that she was not mentally prepared.

"Uh-huh, what a pretty unreasonable brother? How about going back and teaching him a lesson? ”

- If that's the case, of course you'll be shocked, right?

And that's really the case, when he saw that person's face in the blink of an eye, Vane was really shocked......

"Why, why is Sister Letilia here?!"

As soon as the words fell, she jumped up in an instant!

I couldn't help but stared at Lila, who was also looking at me in front of me, and when I realized it, I had already shouted out my question.

"Didn't I say that?"

"I didn't say it!"

Looking at her seriousness, Lettilia couldn't even if she didn't want to have a showdown at this moment.

"Hmm——!"

"If I really want to say it, I came with you, but it is thanks to you that I can discover such a rare and wonderful place."

Leela said as she sat down next to her as a matter of course, pulling out two cans of ginger ale and handing her one of them.

But actually, the reason why she is here now......

Actually, I was asked -

"You go and comfort her, you know I'm not good at doing this kind of thing."

Because I was so stalked by someone, I was here.

“...... Hum. Anyway, my brother asked you to perfunctory me, right? ”

Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, she was seen through-

Suddenly, it made the atmosphere so embarrassing......

“......”

But she was right, so Leela couldn't deny it with all her confidence.

"Anyway, let's have a drink first, shall we?"

She gestured to the canned drinks in each other's hands......

However, it was not so much handed over as it was stuffed to her a little hard.

"I accidentally bought an extra can just now, so don't mind."

She's said so, what else can Vane say?

This person is always very attentive in this kind of place - so it wasn't an extra can at all, but she had planned to buy two servings.

In comparison, my attitude just now is ......

However, although she realized Lela's intentions and understood that her fault might be her own, she did not intend to apologize.

"I don't need any false comfort! Anyway, Sister Lettilia must have come to help her brother speak! ”

Immediately after coming to such a conclusion, Vane sat far away from Leela as a matter of course.

This is undoubtedly what she calls "drawing the line." ”

However, even though the distance is widened, it only takes a slight step forward for Rila to wipe out this level of distance.

As long as she wants, it must be Vane who will surrender in the end.

Instead, she just continued the conversation as much as she could.

That's how Leela does it......

Although, it's a bit of a contradiction. But it's also the best way to do it......

"Why do you think so?"

In an instant, her question was answered—

"Aren't you and my brother lovers? And they're already planning to get married! ”

"Of course you'll help him speak, don't think I'm young and don't know anything!"

In short, it's really true.

"Huh? Am I that biased? ”

As she spoke, she unconsciously clenched her small fists.

"I really don't have much to argue with if you say that, because that's what it is-"

“......”

Because, who made me like him-

"Look?!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head again.

This reaction might be cute, isn't it?

"I don't want to talk to you!" If I'm not mistaken, she's definitely conveying this meaning nakedly.

"Am I being hated? This is terrible......"

"Before I got married, I was hated by my future sister who was one step ahead. Seriously, sister, I'm devastated......"

When she said this, Lila's emotions seemed to be really lost, as if she had fallen into an abyss.

"Hmm——!"

"That kind of statement is really too cunning!"

Thinking so, Vane unconsciously began to peek at Stella incessantly......

However, on this basis, she is forcing Lila to choose one of the two-

"Really...... This kind of boring choice is really despicable enough......"

"Me and my brother, which one do you choose?"

That's obviously what she meant.

However, at this moment...... No matter which side you choose, you will be in a dilemma.

Moreover, both men are undoubtedly ......

It's all about to become a family member in the future, so there's no choice at all.

It is said that at this moment, she should be very distressed in the face of such a problem, but in fact, this is not the case at all.

In short, at this time, follow this girl first, no matter what, right?

So, she unexpectedly made a decision in an instant.

"Why me?"

"You clearly want me to choose, you can't get what you want, right?"

"Wait, I didn't say that, did I?!"

Unexpectedly, at the moment when she remained silent, she couldn't bear it at first, but it became Vane.

"Very good, the excitement will succeed!"

However, having said that, she had to make the "overly realistic" acting act as if it were going throughout.

And you can't goof......

To be honest, it's quite a challenge.

"Eh, is that so?"

"So you want me to choose the other side?"

She continued to express this looming sense of loss; While secretly observing Vane's reaction.

- Sure enough, as expected, she was not good at observing words and feelings, and she was in a hurry at this moment!

Eventually, she took the initiative to lean over.

"Even if it's true that I'm angry with my brother, I don't hate Sister Letilia, I've never hated you."

"Really?"

Even though she knew that Wayne had thrown in the towel, she still acted very innocent.

It has to be said that this method works.

"It's true—you know I never lie!"

This is indeed true......

And, this guy-

Her expression was very serious, very serious...... Because they are very serious, these words must be sincere.

You can feel this even if you don't have to look at it.

But apparently she wasn't done yet.

"Although at first there were some, no...... It was a shock! ”

"That brother actually has a girlfriend, and I don't have much intersection with strangers in that impression......"

"Even my brother, who is hot and cold to me, has a girlfriend?"

"No, no, no, even if the world is destroyed, this kind of thing will never be possible! - Something like this. ”

It's not uncommon for people to think like this.

As a result, before she could finish speaking, Lila couldn't maintain her expression just now!

In the blink of an eye, she was amused to laugh, so she let her body fall on her back—

"I see, I see! No wonder the first time I went to your house, you were so surprised that you even stammered when you introduced yourself! ”

"I was still thinking at the time, could it be that I have a disease that makes me incoherent whenever I am nervous? Or did I come at the wrong time—"

Unexpectedly, she was interrupted by Vane beating her chest in the middle of her sentence!

"Don't mention that again!"

"It turned out to be a situation where we were apologizing to each other. And you bit your tongue when you said it, right? ”

As a result, when Lila finished speaking, she blushed on the spot.

In the blink of an eye, she kept pounding her fists on Lila's chest.

Although it looks quite strong, it doesn't hurt at all.

"Sister Letilia has a bad heart!"

"Huh? I'm just stating the facts, right? Who is bullying you? ”

As he spoke, the left half of the unsuspecting Vane's face was pinched—

The slightly elastic and soft touch is really addictive.

"Even if that's the case, I'm very shy here!"

"Anyway, it's just me and your brother who see it, what does it matter!"

As she spoke, the right side of her face was pinched. "Uh-huh! Anyway, don't mention it again! ”

At this time, Vane pouted; Don't look at it, I don't know if I'm angry or shy.

"Alright, that's all for now. It's almost time to get down to business—"

Her words made Vane a little confused for a moment......

"Well, what's the matter?"

"Of course, I'm buying you a gift, and by the way, I'll make up for my share together."

“......!”

In an instant, Vane's face seemed to be clearly written-

"Is that so!?"

"What? Don't you want it? If that's the case, I'll be able to save a lot of pocket money—"

As a result, before she could finish speaking, she was rushed to deny by that guy-

"No, no, no, I want to! Buy it now – hurry up!! ”
