Chapter 57: Interlude
(PS: I feel everyone's support, Oh, Aligado~~ Although there is no guarantee of renewal at the moment because the exam is not over, but as long as I have time, I will keep writing, and write a work that satisfies everyone and satisfies myself, thank you.)
PS2: Thank you Prince Chestnut for the reward, is this to help me get together the Dragon Balls and meet the meaning of summoning four hundred dollars? Although I can't get it, anyway, thank you~~)
As the new workplace internship date approaches, nightmarish midterm exams will follow.
Under this sense of urgency as if the god of death was shouting for a deadline, whether it was a top student like being in the first snow of the grade, or a student who likes to have fun like Yui and believes that 'studying is useless', as long as you don't want to repeat a grade after failing a subject, you will start to prepare for the exam urgently.
Classrooms, libraries, family cafeterias, club classrooms, and even benches next to the school's flower beds can be seen everywhere with the figure of reading a book like a hyponic spell.
In the library, on the seat near the window sill on the right
With the words 'Let's stop here today' as the end signal, an ordinary-looking boy immediately fell on the table as if he had burned out, spitting gray-white gas in his mouth, looking too tired to do anything.
The ordinary girl with glasses on the opposite side looked at this, showed a helpless gentle smile, and began to wait quietly, fortunately, it didn't take long for the boy to rest, and began to clean up the scattered books on the table.
For these new 'torture instruments', I guess I will get bored if I look at them more.
"Xiaojing, this won't work, if the schoolbag is not organized, it will be very troublesome to find things in the future. The earth girl reminded in a gentle voice as if she would never get bored.
"Hi hi...... Got it, Manaishi Obasan"
"Well, Xiaojing is really, it's too rude to call the girl Obasan, I'm only a seventeen-year-old high school student......"
......
The boy's name is Kyosuke Takamata.,Appearance is mediocre.,Average grades.,Can't music and paint or anything.,All sports are just up to the standard.,Although there's a childhood sweetheart who grew up together since childhood (never abandoned) Such a miraculous existence.,But it's also a local girl who's as ordinary as him.,Even if you wear glasses, you can't recover the attributes of the passerby role.γ Although he has a very beautiful and excellent sister, the relationship with him is so bad that he completely treats the other party as if he does not exist except for the necessary courtesy greetings, and even if the relationship has eased a little, it is not at all the level of 'good feelings'.
After school, I go home with the flow of people.,When I rest, I lie at home reading manga.γRead light novels.,Everything I do has never gone beyond the scope of an ordinary male high school student.,This is the truth of the name Kyosuke Takaban.γ Although he was a little resentful of the evaluation that 'in the future he will be the head of a small department of a middle- and lower-class company', the sad thing is that he can't even find a reason to refute it.
(Ah, what's wrong with being ordinary, and not causing trouble to others, and being happy and relaxed, why not?) If you really want to say, the foundation of society is the majority of ordinary people, and without the contributions of our people, those excellent leaders, experts, scholars, and the like would have starved to death.)
Therefore, excellent can't be eaten, ordinary is king...... οΌ
The ordinary teenagers of the optimistic faction have always had a good mentality, even if there are some unfair phenomena in society that are skewed towards resources, they will directly ignore it, and they don't want to fight for anything, so they naturally won't fight for anything, and to a certain extent, they are the favorite 'good people' of the ruling class.
After saying goodbye to his childhood sweetheart, Kyosuke returned to his home, habitually whispered 'I'm back', and took off his shoes and sat down on the wooden floor in the hallway. Just had a day of study meeting with his childhood sweetheart.,His spirit can be said to be extremely tired.,Now I just want to go back to my room and lie down for a while......
Well!?
......
He keenly felt that the atmosphere at home seemed to be a little wrong, and looked at the shoe rack, and his father's boxy slippers and his sister's slippers with floral patterns and looking cute were not there, that is, ...... The terrible dad who has a fierce and rigid face like a triad leader but is a people's policeman, and that terrifying sister...... All at home
Although the family usually does not go out of their way to greet them, it is still not stingy to say a polite 'welcome back' to the air without much effort, but today......
I don't know if it's the effect of exhaustion, but he feels that there seems to be a heavy feeling of pressure on people's nerves in his home today, and he feels a little tightness in his chest.
(at home...... Is something bad going on?)
Just as he was thinking like this, the door to the living room slammed open, and out of the door was his sister, Kirino Takaita, one of Mitsuki's friends, who had received acting instruction at the Itai family, and was evaluated by Yuji as the brown-haired girl who 'looked like a good boy on the outside' - it was clear that the girl behaved completely differently at home than outside.
Now, in front of Kyosuke is Takita Kirino whose face has turned red with anger, and his eyes are bloodshot and protruding, as if he has appeared in the terrifying appearance of a red ghost walking in the daytime.
Although he didn't want to be nosy, his sense of responsibility as an elder brother prompted him to ask.
"What, what's wrong...... Kiri, Kirino ......?"
β...... Get out of the way......... Fuck off!"
Responding rudely to Kyosuke's worried inquiry, Kirino gasped and grabbed his boots and put them on, and walked towards the door of the house with a menacing attitude.
"Hey, Kirino ......... Where are you going?"
"It's my freedom!"
"Wait, wait........." Kyosuke stretched out his hand to stop Kirino who was about to close the door and leave
"Wow!?" As a result, the hand was slammed by the door.
The other party didn't have any scruples, or deliberately closed the door hard, so fierce that his hand naturally hurt a lot, Kyosuke just grabbed his hand and sat on the ground and kept exhaling with his mouth to the wound, so painful that tears rolled in his eyes, and he almost cried out without shame.
"W-What...... I was in a good mood before I went out in the morning, but did I take the wrong medicine today?" Kyosuke, who gently rubbed his palms, stood up muttering, although it still hurt a little, but it was no longer a big problem.
Cowering into the living room, for some reason, Dad Daisuke took the vacuum cleaner and cleaned it wordlessly.
"What's going on, (gooh) Dad?" Kyosuke asked, swallowing his saliva and feeling a little stunned.
With an overturned ashtray in the corner, cigarette butts and ash spilled on the wooden floor, and the angry expressions on his sister and father's faces, he could probably imagine the scene of the previous quarrel......
"No...... Just look at this to understand. Daisuke picked up something from the couch and placed it on the glass table, saying in a deep voice
β...... This is ......."
On the table was the origin of the incident - an open DVD case with pictures of all sorts of girls printed on it
(Really...... Isn't there a lesson learned from the past?)
In fact, something similar happened before.,At that time, I found out that my sister's unusual interest was Kyosuke.,It should be said,Fortunately, he was the first to find out.,Otherwise, Kirino's ending really doesn't know what to change.,As for the sister who came to himself for a life negotiation.γLooking for a housemate together.γThe opportunity for the relationship to ease began with this.γ
For such a scheming move of his stupid sister,Kyosuke can only sigh helplessly in his heart.,The things in the DVD are really not things that can see people.,Or the so-called 'seeing the light and dying' things in today's mainstream culture-beautiful girl love development games.γ
Originally, the Japanese society didn't have a very good evaluation of 'otaku' and the like.,And the key to playing such a game is still an underage middle school girl.,It's no wonder that Daisuke was so angry when he found out.γ
Although he was extremely reluctant to anger his angry father, he still pretended not to know and said.
"What's wrong with the disc?" Dad?"
β...... Kyosuke, this matter ...... You know that."
didn't use a questioning tone, but a direct affirmative statement, as a criminal policeman, Daisuke, who has many years of work experience, naturally has a vision that is not covered, and none of those cunning criminals in the prison can escape his eyes, not to mention Kyosuke and Kirino, little children who can't even tell lies.
"....ah yes" Although he wanted to say no, but under the oppression of the eyes of the criminal police father, he didn't have the courage to lie.
"Yes, I don't ask you how you know, and you certainly won't say."
β............β
"I don't buy you this stuff, do you know why?" Daisuke asked as he picked up the DVD box in one hand and pointed to the animation on the package and the contents inside.
Kyosuke couldn't reply and could only be silent, keeping his head down, avoiding his father's gaze.
"This kind of stuff is going to have a bad effect on you, and it's bad once you're addicted to it, and it's all about playing with that stuff...... That one... Otaku (female) is coming... It's going to be despised, right? Well, those things can't have any good effect, so I'm not going to buy them for you."
"Cosmetics and bags are fine, but games and animations are not?"
"Of course, how can Kirino take that kind of thing that the world thinks is bad.And if it weren't for your mother and sister colluding to say that cosmetics and bags are necessary for making friends, I wouldn't agree with girls using this kind of thing so early.,If a good daughter indulges in boring interests.,Parents naturally have to turn back to the right path before they go astray."
With that, Daisuke stood up and walked out of the living room.
"Dad, Dad, where are ......you going?"
"Go to Kirino's room and investigate, there may be something else hidden"
It's over.,There's Kirino's collection ......! This was Kyosuke's first thought, and he was powerless...... It was the second thought, and yet, for some reason, although he found it difficult to succeed, no, almost impossible to succeed, he still-
"Wait, wait!" Kyosuke looked up at his dad at the bottom of the stairs and shouted to stop him
"If there was that kind of thing, my mother should have found it a long time ago!Because there is cleaning every day!The books I have hidden have also been found by my mother~ It is impossible to have hidden ones! This kind of clumsy lie is not to mention Daisuke.,I'm afraid ordinary parents will be suspicious.γ
β... So, I'm going to take a look. If I don't find it, forget it."
(Impossible, you can definitely find out.It's your old job.)" Kyosuke complained in his heart.
(Really, I'm about to take the exam, why do I have to encounter this kind of thing!!)
Although the tired body and mind are warning him not to do any more superfluous work, the inertia in the subconscious of the brain has also begun to constantly tempt, influence, and urge him to quickly get rid of this matter, and then go back to rest, after all, it is not his own business, and it is the same bad attitude Kirino, to be honest, he really has no motivation...... However, deep inside him there was an unknown voice telling him
Do it
To do it
Help her
To help
...... My own sister, ahhh!!!h
As if confirmed by the roar in his heart, Kyosuke exploded with an abnormal speed, quickly ran in front of Daisuke, and stopped him with open hands
"Stop, stop! He said
"Get out of the way, Kyosuke" has a gloomy face, and the father, who is already a bad head, is even more scary, but-
"No, don't let ......."
Although his legs trembled a little, Kyosuke still stood firmly in front of Daisuke.
"Hurt~~~~~" grabbed Kyosuke's wrist and twisted it up, repeating it again
"Get out of the way"
"Don't let ...... Ahh!!!h
"Don't let it, don't let it...... I won't let you die."
"You ......" Daisuke raised his thick palm, and Kyosuke shrunk his body, but still firmly stood in front of him.
......
After a while, the imaginary slap did not come down as expected, and Kyosuke cautiously raised his head to look at the other side.
β...... Can you tell me why you insist so much?I remember that your relationship with Kirino didn't get that good, what is the reason...... No, what is the reason why you are standing here?" said the father, who had already lowered his palm, softened his expression slightly, although it was still terrifying, seeing that the son in front of him dared to fight against him to such an extent and did not give up, he was relieved and at the same time, he was also curious about the reason why his son dared to stand here.
Huha~Huha~ Kyosuke took two deep breaths, sorted out his thoughts, and then spoke.
"Dad, can you wait and listen to me first? Kirino ...... her"
