ps: No, I'm too sleepy.,At least 5,000 words today (plus the modification is 8,000),The rest of the polish or something is better tomorrow.,Ask for a recommendation~~)

Before you know it, the work of preparing the curry and washing the rice is over.

After setting up the lunch box, the next step on the pot side is to stir-fry the meat and vegetables. Although halfway kai-chan said something, "Vegetables sound like YAOI...... It's really nasty", but he was knocked on the head by Miura. Judging from the fact that she was the only one who complained when no one complained, maybe Miura was actually an unexpected guy who took care of people.

It seems that judging a person based on first impressions is indeed too arbitrary!

Shaking his head, he withdrew his gaze. Yuji looked at the vegetables and pork at hand, calculated the ingredients needed to cook the food, and said to his sister behind him.

"Mitsuki, can you cut two carrots for me?"

"Yes"

"Thank you."

Seeing that the well-behaved sister who had always been proud agreed, Yuji also started his work with confidence, picked up a shovel, poured cooking oil to heat, and waited until the oil was hot, and then added the ingredients......

And yet—

"Mitsuki......? Where's the turnip?"

A few minutes later, when Yuji asked again, he only saw his sister next to the anvil table, playing with the two carrots in her hand a little dullly.

"En" replied softly, but simply said that he heard it.

That's not an answer at all!Yuji smiled bitterly, and he didn't know why his sister, who had always been well-behaved and cute, suddenly made an awkward fuss.

"Mitsuki?" he tried to call.

"Yes"

"Sister-chan?"

"Yes"

"The cutest sister in the world?"

"Yes"

“......”

"Why does Oni-chan always feel that your answers are very perfunctory?Mitsuki?" asked Yuji with a wry smile. My sister is angry with herself, this is actually not a serious problem, even if the relationship between brothers and sisters is not completely free of quarrels, and small fights on weekdays can promote the relationship between brothers and sisters. However, seeing that my sister is angry but I don't understand the reason for being angry, this is a dereliction of duty as an older brother.

Finally, Mitsuki reacted, but she puffed up her bun face and tilted her head to the side.

“...... Ernie sauce, help Sister Xue Nai sculpt a statue."

"This ......" Yuji was speechless.

"I've never seen my brother carve for someone else before...... "I haven't done it for myself yet, but I ...... Thinking of this, the little girl couldn't help but sulk again.

"So, Mitsuki, do you want one too?" asked Yuji tentatively

"Hmph~"

The girl snorted softly, expressing her disdain, but it also exposed her heart.

"Okay, okay, isn't it okay for my brother to do it for you" Yuji touched Mitsuki's little brown head dotingly, and helped her smooth her hair. has been an elder brother for more than ten years, how can he really not understand his sister's thoughts.

"This kind of statement feels so perfunctory compared to Sister Yukino's!" While enjoying her brother's smooth hair, Mitsuki didn't forget to glare at Yuji and said.

It's not that she's jealous or anything, Mitsuki is a pretty sensible child, and her brother can have a good friend or a lover who goes further, in fact, it's too late for her to be happy. However, inevitably, Mitsuki was also a little resentful in her heart, obviously she was the younger sister who had been with her brother for more than ten years, and she was the person with the deepest bond with her brother in the world, but she lost to another woman who had only known her for half a year - even if the person herself was quite respectful and liked, but this differential treatment still made the little girl sulk

"Besides, brother, don't you need inspiration for your carvings?

Although she really wanted a carving like under the snow, Mitsuki also knew how precious it was to rely solely on luck in the art of carving, and she didn't want to cause too much trouble for her brother.

"It's just a trifle!" Yuji waved his hand, indicating that it was completely fine, "and inspiration or something, in terms of Ernie sauce's love for you, that's how much or how much it is...... I'll help you make a wooden one when you get home, so it can last longer. ”

"Ernie sauce's sister control remarks are still so undisguised, but...... Hawkers,Even if you pass the test this time, thank you, thank you, Ernie sauce"

"Yes"

Looking at the cute sister who lifted the mustard and thanked him with a blushing face, Yuji couldn't bear the soul of the sister and rubbed a few handfuls of the soft-touch little head, and responded with momentum.

Okay, my sister's energy has been replenished, and she can fight for another three years.

"So, then...... Can Yuuji make one for me too?"

Forehead...... Huh!?

Staring wide-eyed at the childhood friend who said the request, his eyes swept over, and Hikiya Komachi who followed her, and Elusi, who was smiling and greeting him behind Komachi, Yuji felt ...... I seem to be in a big trouble this time, so many people are engaged in carving, and I have to add the volunteer work that I am responsible for......

It's undoubtedly a good idea to refuse before trouble comes to the door, but look at the childhood sweetheart with a look of anticipation in his eyes......

"Hmm...... It's okay, but if you don't have inspiration, the effect will be much worse, won't Yui mind?"

“...... I、I don't mind.,I'm very grateful that Yuji can help me do it.。 ”

"Really?"

Although he said things that he didn't mind, anyone with a discerning eye could see the loss in Yubihama's expression - like a pet dog that didn't get food, he put his head together, and Yuji was naturally no exception.

With a wry smile, he had to comfort:

"Well, just kidding, I'll do my best to help you do your best."

"Really?"

"Really"

"Ahaha~~ Thank you Yuji, thank you"

"Komachi, Komachi also book one"

"Okay, okay!" - one is doing it, and two are doing it.

"I-I, I, Yuji sama, I want one too" - okay, I've done both, will three be far away?

Rolling his eyes helplessly, Yuji had to take out the knife from his pocket again, pick up the pear and get serious again.

After settling down, the first thing is to design an image in your mind, and the various images in your memory are flashed in your mind, and the final result is selected among the many images.

Finger move!

Whew......

The time passed quietly when Yuji was immersed in carving.

"This is the last one, huh~~"

Wiping the sweat from his head, Yuji couldn't help but let out a long breath. After such a long time of carving, my wrist is also a little sore.

Fortunately, there are only three people who ask.,And my sister also considerately put her share after going home to complete.,Otherwise, as soon as there are more people.,Yuji really doesn't know what to do.。

Just as he was rejoicing, a childish voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Woo wow, Ernie sauce is so amazing!

Then, as if using this voice as an introduction, the voices of elementary school students suddenly became noisy around Yuuji, and a group of little girls began to gather around him at some point, watching the statue.

"Really!" "Carved like!" "Ernie sauce, Ernie sauce, can you make one for us too?" "I want it too, I want it too......

Now, Yuji was really scared out of a cold sweat, he was really afraid of something, he just said that he was afraid of a lot of people, but as a result, so many people came at once, and all of them were elementary school students...... Yu Erqiang resisted the urge to be black in front of him, and pressed his somewhat dizzy head with a headache.

No one reminded me that there were so many ...... Isn't this a human life? In fact, it happened suddenly, and several other people are still helping the other groups cook.

The noisy sound made Yuuji's head gradually chaotic, and his reason was completely overwhelmed, and the immature faces in front of him were the scenes buried deep in his mind-podium and old blackboard, innocent, innocent, and malicious smiling faces...... ridicule, pain...... Cold......

In an instant, Yuuji's face turned pale sharply, like bleached paper, pale and bloodless.

"Excuse me, big brother...... Maybe I can't do that much...... Hmm~"

While saying this apologetically, a wave of nausea and vomiting came from the stomach and intestines......

- Damn~ It's just this time!

"Eh, Ernie sauce, what's wrong with you—you...... Are you sick?"

Different from the memory, there is no mockery in the innocent eyes that look at me at this moment, only simple concern.

"Ah, it's okay" Yuji felt a little better and comforted softly.

After reassurance, a little girl asked again with a longing look:

"So, can Ernie Sauce teach us to be that 'little man'? You don't have to do it for us, it's beautiful!"

I felt it again, but it was just a simple longing and longing

"Ernie sauce, is it okay?" "Please" "Please, Ernie sauce" "Please!" ......

Although it was still the same noisy voice as before, Yuji had a little more energy to do something else. He waved his hand first to silence the children, "Big brother, can you ask first? Why do you want to learn this?"

"Because, I want to give Sakura such a beautiful gift," said one of the girls

"For Mom and Dad"

"Yes, I want to give a different gift!"

......

The girls were talking about their reasons.

A different kind of gift...... Why, Yuji couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes, it's all different, I've grown up and become capable, and they're not 'those guys', so why am I still dwelling on that past?

Yuji couldn't help but raise his head and look at the sky. Because it was a sunny day, the empty sky and the dotted white clouds could be seen clearly, and even if it was a good day with such blue skies and white clouds every sunny day, the appearance of the sky was different.

INTERVIEWER Even if they are all elementary school students, they are not the same from person to person.

He turned his eyes to look at the children in front of him.

- They are not at fault, so they should not be blamed. No one needs to take responsibility for something they haven't done.

So...... I have become different, and they are different, will it still end like that?

So, let me see. What we're changing:

Yuji Sakai - [Actor Mode]

Role Play: [Elementary School Teacher] - Selected

......

"Looks like we don't have to go up and help."

"Indeed, it seems that there is no problem anymore, Itai-kun. ”

Xue Xia, who witnessed the scene, nodded slightly, which was an affirmation of Qigu's opinion.

"Speaking of which, Yuosa is really popular. Katsuragi Ailu said as if admiring, while his brother Katsura shook his head flatly and spoke.

"That guy has been like that since before, there's nothing strange about it. ”

Then, the fight of PFP in his hands continued.

"Eun, because Yuji-senpai feels like a good brother, it's not surprising that he's popular. ”

Komachi on the side nodded approvingly and agreed. However, after hearing the statement of the dear sister, the other sister was a little unhappy. Eyes widened at the dead fish.

"Hey, sister San, don't forget that your brother is still here. ”

"I haven't forgotten Ernie sauce, or should I say that because I love forever, I will always remember Ernie sauce...... Ah, Komachi scored super high!"

"Speaking of which, the ...... I also feel that Yoji is a good brother. Ah, no, Mitsuki-chan, isn't that ......" After shyly revealing his opinion, Yubihama realized something and waved his arms in a panic, trying to explain to Mitsuki.

"It's okay, Yui-san, I understand your feelings. Brother, he's probably too used to it, as a gentle brother, so Mitsuki I'm really angry, so angry, my brother is always shared by others or something!"

"That's what you said, that's what you said" For some reason, Yubihama looked away with some weakness. To say that she shared the most time with Mitsuki, she was undoubtedly her childhood sweetheart at the time.

"But I still like my brother the most."

- Because, it's my most complacent and favorite brother!

Standing in front of the platform, listening to everyone's different but surprisingly unified evaluation of Yuji, there was silence under the snow.

Rubbing the 'carving' in the crisper bag in her hand, sensing the meticulousness and temperature of that knife, she spoke quietly for a long time

"Even then...... and still a liar!"

It was probably to someone specific, or to herself, or not to anyone!
