It's long past school day.

Chen Xiaofeng is still in school because of the "hooligan" incident. Minato is Chen Xiaofeng's sister part-time class president, so she is still in school.

The corridor leading to the classroom was no one else at the moment.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the transparent glass windows, projecting the figures of the two on the bluestone slab.

"People who don't care about anything like my brother, who don't take anything seriously...... It's so bad! Not only is he the second-to-last fool in his grade, but he is also a sluggish ...... Belch...... A sucker! ”

Chen Xiaofeng looked stunned and reacted a little too much.

"Minato, what's wrong with you? It's just that you can't go to the beach...... And it's only possible...... Is it necessary for you to be so excited? Chen Xiaofeng couldn't imagine that his sister, who had always been intimate, would say something like today.

"And, Minato, you should know, right? I don't want that kind of casual boy to approach you, so please don't say anything like that. ”

"Hmph, you don't care! Why do you care about me like a casual brother! It's my business what kind of boy I'm close to, you can't care, you can't care! ”

Minato almost shouted the words.

"Brother, you just need to continue to live your life like this, Lily will solve the three meals for you, and Qiong and Yu and Misaka will relieve your boredom for you...... If my sister is a sister, let me go out with other boys to relax...... Even if he was done something frivolous, it had nothing to do with his brother! ”

"That's enough, Chen Seminato!"

The only thing Chen Xiaofeng can't tolerate is to play with her own affairs.

Chen Xiaofeng was really angry and raised his right hand.

But......

Looking at the closed teary eyes and the trembling body, he slowly lowered his hand.

"Maybe you're right...... I'm not a good brother, am I? ”

Chen Xiaofeng said a little out of strength.

"I haven't been a 'brother' at all, and I have to worry about your sister about everything, I'm really bad, very bad, very bad."

It was like muttering to herself, but it wasn't these things that she wanted to hear, how she hoped that Chen Xiaofeng's slap could be taken down, and then reprimanded her like when she was a child, Zuihou could still touch her head and say, "Brother won't give you to others casually!" ”。

However, Chen Xiaofeng in front of him seemed very strange in Minato's eyes.

"Stupid ......" choked up.

"Big fool! Brother, you big idiot! ”

As if he had used all his strength to shout out, Minato Lie fell and held on to the wall, but before Chen Xiaofeng could reach out and support her, Minato turned around and ran away.

The back eventually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Looking at the back of the departing figure, Chen Xiaofeng wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be stuck. The lips open and close like goldfish.

"Chen Xiaofeng, has something happened between you and Minato?"

Mikoto Misaka's worried voice came from behind Chen Xiaofeng.

"Ah, Misaka...... Nothing. ”

Chen Xiaofeng said listlessly, but his deep brow exposed his lie.

"Did you quarrel with Minato?"

Chen Xiaofeng nodded silently.

Seeing that Chen Xiaofeng was reluctant to say more, Mikoto Misaka didn't ask more immediately, and silently stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Xiaofeng.

"Let's go home together."

Walking on the school avenue in the afterglow,The street trees on both sides are bare at the moment.,The smell of autumn is very strong.。 If it weren't for the non-stop work of the cleaning robots, the sidewalks would have been almost covered with yellow leaves.

The young boys and girls walked slowly side by side, quiet and did not speak. Time seems to stand still, and the road seems to never end.

"Now, Misaka."

Chen Xiaofeng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Am I really bad?" ”

"Huh? This one...... It depends on what it is. ”

"Let's say...... Let's be an older brother. ”

"How do I know this, I'm not making up ...... However, if you can tell you what happened between you, I can't analyze it. ”

Mikoto Misaka's relaxed tone adjusted the dull atmosphere: "But to say it in advance, I'm not interested in the little secrets between you, just for the sake of analysis." ”

"Huh."

Mikoto Misaka's adjustment of the atmosphere played a certain role, and Chen Xiaofeng, who had been calm since just now, laughed.

Mikoto Misaka secretly glanced at Chen Xiaofeng, who was in a better mood, and smiled with him as if relieved.

"Well, take it from me."

"Okay."

Chen Xiaofeng nodded, and then spoke eloquently.

……

"Because she said she didn't care about your three meals, that's why you said Lily would take care of it for you...... Is that what to say? Mikoto Misaka said in disbelief.

"yes...... If you don't prepare three meals for me, I can't sit back and wait to starve to death, right? ”

"Ah...... It's really pitiful. Mikoto Misaka lamented exaggeratedly, "Minato is right, you're really a big idiot." ”

"Even you say that? Looks like I'm really bad......"

The mood finally turned hode Chen Xiaofeng, and he fell down again.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Seeing that Chen Xiaofeng had misunderstood something, Mikoto Misaka hurriedly waved her hand to explain.

"It's just ......," Mikoto Misaka organized her own language, "Chen Xiaofeng, what position do you have in your heart?" ”

"Of course, it's an irreplaceable important sister."

Chen Xiaofeng said as a matter of course.

"yes, I think so...... So, in the same way, you are also like this in your heart, right? ”

"Really?" After being put up like that, Chen Xiaofeng didn't seem to have much confidence at this point.

"Trust me, it's absolutely so!" Mikoto Misaka swore and said, "I'm not trying to comfort you, I think so...... You must also be an irreplaceable existence in your heart. ”

Chen Xiaofeng smiled bitterly and did not speak.

"The bond between brother and sister will not be weakened by such quarrels, so, even now, you are an important presence in your heart."

"But ......"

Chen Xiaofeng wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Mikoto Misaka.

"If you suddenly tell you that it doesn't matter if you don't protect her anymore, other boys will protect her instead of you...... So, what do you do? ”

"I'm going to beat that guy up first and see if that guy has the skills."

"Anyway, you were angry at first, didn't you?"

Chen Xiaofeng nodded.

"So, when you say that Lily will take her place, can you understand Minato's feelings? That feeling...... It's like you're no longer needed......"
