"If you don't dislike it...... Would you like to ride with me? The things in your hands look heavy...... Shall I help you get it? ”

Facing his friend who seemed to be unwell, Ayase took two steps forward enthusiastically, wanting to take the bag in Kirino's hand, but was dodged by the other party.

"Thank you, thank you......! Hey, hey, hey! But I don't care!"

Kirino refused in a panic, and when she waved her hands vigorously, the paper bag in her hand also dangled.

It's still drizzling, and the paper bags are already wet on the outside, and if they are swaying back and forth like this, they may break at some point.

Because Kirino kept rejecting Ayase's overly enthusiastic invitation, the two of them grinded for a while and Ayase finally decided to give up.

"That's right...... Okay, Kirino ...... Then big brother and I will go home together. ”

Ayase, who was a little lost, finally remembered her eldest brother Chu Xuan, which was really an obvious difference.

If it weren't for an indifferent guy like Chu Xuan, he would definitely cry in his heart now.

"Uh......h Hmmm......"

Kirino nodded apologetically to Ayase, but looked relieved.

But just as she wanted to leave, Ayase's puzzled voice came again:

"That Kirino ...... I've been a little concerned since I was just now......"

"Again, what's wrong?"

Kirino shouted as if she was about to cry before she could take a step.

Ayase craned her neck and leaped over Kirino's shoulder, staring behind her.

"Babbling ......"

Kirino turned his head and gasped.

Saori and the black cat, who had been hanging on the side since the beginning, were standing there motionless with a surprised expression.

It seems that just now, Kirino completely forgot about these two friends of the "inner world".

Ayase slightly furrowed her eyebrows, looking at the two strangely dressed otaku with a bit of timidity.

"That...... These two people...... It's also Kirino's...... Friend? ”

"Ahh......h That ......"

Under Ayase's tentative questioning, Kirino was overwhelmed with nervousness.

Saori and the black cat are both typical otaku dresses, even if Ayase doesn't know now, it will be clear if she goes back and investigates a little, combined with what Kirino was carrying in her hand before, isn't it very likely that the secret that Kirino is also an otaku will be exposed.

Kirino doesn't want his friends at school to find out this secret anyway.,You know.,The group that hates otaku the most is a junior high school girl!

If this secret spreads in the school, Kirino probably won't have the courage to go to school again.

"Well, that~that~ they ......"

Kirino maintained the posture of looking back at his otaku friend, and the whole person was in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer.

(Oops, awful!) Is it really because of these two guys that the secret is exposed? ）

Maybe that's what Kirino thought in his heart, and his wavering expression was all revealed on his face.

Saori, on the other hand, had a rare smile with a troubled expression.

She's a very observant guy.,Now she should be worrying about whether she should admit to being Kirino's friend, right?

And the black cat was the only person on the scene who maintained an expressionless state except for Chu Xuan.

With those red pupils that make it impossible to guess the meaning of it, she watched the whole thing as coldly as a bystander......

After more than ten seconds-

"It seems that we have been misunderstood...... Let's go? If you don't go back soon, you won't be able to catch up with the animation at half past five, and today it happened to be a very exciting place. ”

The black cat turned around neatly and took the path far away from Kirino and the others towards the station.

Immediately after, Saori turned her gaze back and forth between the black cat and Kirino a few times, and finally left after the black cat.

Although the black cat is a guy who has no connection between his superficial attitude and his true thoughts in his heart, it's hard to say whether she really wants to watch the anime or is worried about Kirino's difficulties......

"Wait, Black Cat, Saori."

At this moment, Chu Xuan, who could shine with his glasses even in the drizzle, suddenly stopped these two people.

"Ayase, they're my friends - and they're also members of my harem~."

"After, after ~ the palace-?"

Chu Xuan said expressionlessly to Ayase, who turned his head to look at him suspiciously, but did not scare Ayase, but startled several other people.

"After ...... Palace? Big brother, what does the harb~ embarm mean? Why is everyone surprised? ”

Ayase asked confusedly, she didn't even know about the back ~ palace, this is common sense, common sense!

"It was a joke."

Chu Xuan pushed down his reflective glasses and said very seriously.

"Black cat, Saori, this is my sister, Ayase Aragaki.

Thank you for today, my sister and I are back in the car, so let's say goodbye.

Good bye. ”

Chu Xuan briefly introduced Ayase's identity, and then simply said goodbye to the black cat and Saori.

Shocked, he didn't know what expression to use to face Chu Xuan's black cat, nodded a little blankly, and then was dragged away by Saori, who was smirking "ahaha".

Kirino breathed a sigh of relief, showed a very apologetic expression, and silently watched the two friends gradually move away.

"Oh...... It's a friend of the eldest brother......"

Ayase nodded slowly, holding some words in her mouth.

As a model, she probably thinks that the dress of those two people is too strange, but since they are friends of her eldest brother, she is not good at rashly commenting on these issues.

"Uh-huh!"

Perhaps in order to further clear up his suspicions, Tong Nai hurriedly nodded and confirmed for Chu Xuan.

This is really a stinky move, and most of Ayase's attention has been attracted away, but Kirino's voice, like a super-powerful electromagnet that is suddenly energized, immediately attracted all of Ayase's attention back.

Ayase's gaze fell on Kirino, and then she showed an uncomfortable expression that felt very bad, and turned her head left and right to look around.

At this time, it is natural that there are a large number of otaku who have returned from Natsui walking towards the station, and many of them are carrying the same paper bags as Kirino, so it is quite unsettling......

If only it weren't noticed......

"Kirino ...... From the beginning, I saw a lot of people in fancy costumes, and there were buses with anime patterns...... Are there any events around here today? ”

"I—I don't know! Okay、It seems that there is a Xia I? ”

Kirino, who felt more and more cramped and uneasy in front of his friend Ayase, was asked so suddenly, and immediately reflexively tried to pretend that he didn't know anything, but unfortunately he stupidly drew snakes again.

"Natsui...... What is it? ”

Sure enough, Ayase, who didn't know otaku nouns at all, naturally asked.

PS: Yike...... I didn't get up until half past five o'clock in the afternoon, and after eating, I finally finished a chapter before 8 o'clock, and we continued to work the chapter at 0 o'clock, and it shouldn't be delayed.
