"I'm back......"

In mid-July, just a few days after Chu Xuan came to the Aragaki house for the second Tanabata Festival, when Ayase, who had finished her modeling work, returned home, she once again saw two pairs of familiar women's shoes at the entrance.

While she changed into slippers, she kept staring at the two pairs of shoes silently, and the corners of her mouth kept unconsciously drooping downward.

The owner of these two pairs of shoes is obviously an otaku friend of Kirino "over there", but in April, after Kirino went abroad, she gradually and often ran to her eldest brother's room to play together.

What's more, sometimes only one of them comes, and often it is still a time when no one else is in the house.

In other words, her eldest brother Chu Xuan often shares a room with Kirino's friends, lonely men and widows.

Even in June, after Kirino was brought back from the United States by her brother, these two guys would occasionally leave Kirino and run over to play with Chu Xuan......

- This is a traitor, the two of them betrayed Kirino's friendship and ran to her eldest brother.

However, Ayase's mood is also complicated.

For reasons she couldn't tell, she had always avoided meeting Kirino - her eldest brother's two otaku friends.

Kirino had never visited the Aragaki family as a "friend of Chu Xuan", which also made Ayase feel very happy.

However, seeing these two guys running from her friend Tong Nai to her eldest brother Chu Xuan also made her feel very entangled.

- Although it may be just Ayase's own delusions, she always feels that those two guys are constantly secretly stealing the people she values the most.

At first, it was Tong Nai, and then Chu Xuan...... The two most important people to Ayase, for some reason, have formed a deeper and deeper relationship with those two guys.

For example, on last year's Qixi Festival, her eldest brother wrote on the poem of the wish "I hope my sister will fall in love with me" and "I hope my sister will marry me".

But this year, the Qixi Festival that has just passed, and the poems on the bamboo that are still hanging in the courtyard are written "All True Love Achieved" and "All Hou ~ Gong Achieved".

That's the one, right? A term unique to the otaku world, "Raiders", "Routes", "Events", "Options" or something...... In order to truly understand Kirino's otaku interests, Ayase has also secretly made a lot of efforts.

Thinking of the wish that the eldest brother had written on the poem this year, Ayase suddenly sighed with little interest, losing interest in continuing to slander the owner of the two pairs of shoes.

She climbed the stairs in a bit of a frustration, intending to go straight back to her room and come out when the two guys were gone.

Just like Chu Xuan basically doesn't show up when her friends come to play, she doesn't meet Chu Xuan's friends either, as if this is generally the case in families with siblings.

For example, in May, after Ayase learned about Kanako's smoking, she called Kanako to her home to "correct" her, and finally succeeded in making Kanako, who felt the "threat of death", cry and swear that she would "never smoke again".

At that time, although Chu Xuan heard some terrible sorrows next door, he didn't go to Ayase's room to find out because of this.

Later, in June, Ayase asked Chu Xuan to pretend to be an agent again and inspected Kanako's quitting smoking.

――As a result, Kanako has been smoking fruity e-cigarettes, but she really doesn't dare to smoke anymore.

"Ahh......h Don't...... This, this way...... Shame on you......"

"Woohehehe...... Just scream, and no one will come to your rescue if you cut your throat......"

When Ayase stood at the door of his room with some trepidation, he heard a suspicious scream coming from Chu Xuan's room.

When she reacts, she realizes that she has put her ear to her eldest brother's door, just like the perverted sister in some anime and games.

Chu Xuan...... Help me hold her hand......"

"No, don't...... Chu Xuan, don't come here......"

Hearing this intermittently, Ayase was so shy that even the base of her neck turned red.

Although Ayase's parents have never objected to Chu Xuan's behavior of taking the girls home to play, and Ayase also feels that with the excellent conduct of the eldest brother, there will be no shameful things to happen with them in the room, but now...... Ayase didn't knock on the door at all, she "clicked" open Chu Xuan's door, and then saw two girls, one big and one young, playing in her eldest brother's bed in rags.

The kneeling little man was grabbing the big man's wrist from behind and pulling it backwards and upwards, while the big man looked like he was about to cry, lying on his back on the bed with a blushing face, his head resting on the little man's snow-white thighs, and her own thighs peeking out from under the messy hem of her skirt.

Ayase's pupils shrank suddenly, and her eyes quickly lost their brightness.

She hung her head silently, and her body began to emit a black aura that seemed to be substantial, causing the little man who was looking at the door in surprise to open his mouth unconsciously and wide.

"Ayase, it's just a misunderstanding......"

Chu Xuan, who was walking towards the bed, turned around, pushed down his reflective glasses, and tried to explain very calmly.

Ayase raised her head, her eyes filled with tears, and she yelled at the three of them in great disappointment and anger:

"Sit all for me!"

About ten minutes later, Ayase learned the truth of the matter from the mouth of Chu Xuan, who was sitting on the ground.

It turned out that it was just the little man named "Black Cat" who was kindly helping the big man called "Saori" to exercise his heart.

Although this is very similar to because Saori has a face that makes people want to bully at a glance, the black cat happily "bullies" in the name of "helping" - and also invited Chu Xuan to bully her.

But this is definitely not the case!

"Anyway, it's very excessive, too much!"

Despite knowing the truth, Ayase stood there condescendingly, her eyebrows furrowed and reprimanded the three who were honestly sitting on the floor.

"Even if you're very good friends, after all, there is a difference between men and women.

How can you play in a boy's room, in a boy's bed, in a bed without any scruples? ”

"Yes, I'm so sorry, I'm ashamed......"

Saori, who was sitting on the ground in a famous big lady school uniform, blushed and whispered an apology.

"Miss Saori is a victim, so there's no need to apologize."

Ayase softened her attitude when she spoke to Saori, and then looked at the expressionless black cat with a more stern expression, as if to say to her silently, "You are the one who should apologize, right?" ”

But the black cat just raised its eyelids, without the slightest intention of apologizing, as if it couldn't understand other people's eyes at all.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and the black cat finally replied impatiently:

"It's none of your business, right? Even if something really happens to us. ”

"What......"

Ayase was dumbfounded by the black cat's simple and deadly counterattack, and after a long time, she stomped her foot angrily and said:

"In short, no, no, no!

In order to prevent this from happening again, I will join in to oversee you in the future! ”
