Standing in front of the vending machine, Yuma Kamijo looked at the boy in front of him, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But in the darkness of the night, in the light given by the street lamps,

All that was reflected in her beautiful pupils was white light.

She saw someone important, so she wanted to look at the boy with a smile,

But it can't be done.

There will be no more divine rights from God.

their own brother, once thought of the whole world,

Now, at this moment,

Yes, there is.

Still a little flustered, or subconsciously want to run away,

But still

She opened her slightly dry mouth, trying to say something but unable to say anything, her face, slightly pale from injury and blood loss, looked a little distracted in the light.

"That Me"

"It's you, long time no see. The boy recognized the girl in front of him, who was the heroine who just wanted to embark on the route of 'cute three nothings' for her.

"Well, long time no see. ”

It's been a long time.

The boy looked at the girl opposite him again by the light, and he suddenly thought that the 'beauty under the moon' should be like this, or that the 'beauty under the lamp' should be better.

Then he saw her left arm, which was still in a bandage, and a feeling of distress came over him.

I don't know why this happens,

I only know that the rhythm of the heartbeat is not in line with the usual deviation.

It's not because of the 'desperate run' just now, it's just that the girl in front of her was injured

So, there are bursts of stabbing in the heart.

The boy opened his mouth to say something, but his vocal cords were blocked by something he didn't know, and he could only say "uh-ah" tone words.

And then there was no more sound.

All you can hear is your heartbeat and your breathing,

It's just your own heartbeat and breathing.

The girl followed his gaze to her injured arm, knowing that he was worried about herself-

Brother, you're worried about me.

That's it, that's it

Just like this, the strength of being a "boy" can no longer be disguised.

Crystal tears slipped down her cheeks, and all the sorrow and grievances were revealed at this moment.

I know that I am just a friend who doesn't even know my name in my brother's eyes,

But

Be that as it may

There's no way to pretend to be strong anymore.

"Uh, you, what's wrong with you, are you feeling a lot of pain because of your injury? hey~ Don't you cry"

This beautiful maiden is crying,

She's crying,

She was crying.

The heart is almost ruined by pain,

The world is about to collapse.

I don't know how to comfort her,

I could only watch this girl cry sadly in front of her eyes.

This kind of thing, this kind of thing

I did

"Well, I don't know how it came to be like this, but," she wiped her tears with her right hand, her low voice as ethereal as moonlight, "I'm sorry, I cried when I met you, me."

It's a shame."

"Well, ah~" Uejo Danma smiled very hard and raised his hands in front of his chest to make a "don't mind" movement, but I'm afraid he didn't know how much he was laughing

Grudging. "It's okay, that"

He pointed to Yuma's injured left arm, "Are you injured?"

"Well, it's fine, it's just that I accidentally fell last night, because I'm always in a daze, and that's what happened. ”

When Ma heard the girl say this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Lying,

Although he could see the avoidance in the eyes of this expressionless girl, it was better for Ma to know that he should not ask too much

Because, no matter how worried you are

There's no way to stop tears like that.

"Na~, why are you here?" Xima asked in a low voice, wanting to call Dangma a 'brother', but he could only silently bury this difficult feeling in his heart.

It's such a kind girl - because she wants to cover up the sins she has committed too much, so she doesn't want to deceive her brother in front of her.

"Ahh

When Ma is also a little embarrassed for no reason, I don't know why, every time I see this girl, I will have that inexplicable sense of familiarity in my heart, I always feel that she has seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it.

It's such a gentle boy - because he wants to remember the bonds of the past too much, so he has not been able to recognize the sister he misses.

Such a pair of brothers and sisters, here-

On this stage, where the night and lights are intertwined as a background,

They met each other.

thereupon

She and him-

He and her-

A girl who wants to protect something;

A teenager who wants to protect something;

Their story begins.

"I see, you came here because you wanted to buy the 'Hell Bitter Melon Snail Juice - Super Edition'."

"Having said that" The beautiful girl with silver hair and different eyes standing in front of the vending machine, the stupid hair on the top of her head shook a few times, although there was no expression at all, but the corners of her mouth were skimmed into the shape of "へ",

She was sweating and telling Dangma that she was in a hurry now

"What, what's wrong with you?"

The silver-haired girl looked at the watch-shaped Tenjin on her right wrist and connected to the [parallel], an advanced miniature computer that she usually wears on her left hand.

She glanced at the time displayed on the screen and replied:

"I'll tell you the truth, I've been waiting here for two hours and five minutes for 'Hell Bitter Melon Snail Juice - Super Edition' to roll out of the vending machine, but why is it just not

Will you come out?"

Two hours and five minutes!?

"If it's more than two hours, let's give up," said when Ma wiped his sweat, thinking that this kid was too patient

Doesn't she know that this situation is generally called "swallowing money"?

But Xima didn't seem to want to give up, she knocked on the door of the vending machine, as if she was knocking on the door of a neighbor's house, "Hey~! Come out! Don't hide, I can't get in!

I'll be bothered if I don't come out!"

Seeing this strange situation, Kamijo Dangma felt that there should be a few crows flying over his head at this time

"Well, I mean, that doesn't seem to be called, right?"

"But this vending machine has the last bit of my money in it, and if it doesn't spit out drinks and change, I'll starve to death!"

“”

"This is the only money I have left this month, and to be honest, the three times my salary that I managed to get today due to hospitalization is all overdrawn, and even my last supper is also overdrawn

If the vending machine is ruthlessly taken away, "I'm going to die!"

"That,Ah~" Looking at the girl's appearance like a puppy abandoned by her owner, when Ma felt not heartache but bitterness this time

At this time, Xima's stomach sounded very appropriately, "Listen, because my poor stomach, which has not eaten much since last night, is contracting violently, and it is turning to the Lord."

People are protesting!"

"Uh-uh, that sounds like that," Kamijo nodded, deciding to help the girl

But

Faced with a vending machine that seems to have broken down, even if Mr. Uejo wants to help, he doesn't know where to start, right?

Besides, he doesn't have the ability to discharge electricity like Bilibili to artificially interfere with this electronic machine

The boy looked at the vending machine in front of him, and then at his right hand,

Sure enough, it's still too reluctant.

But-

Although it is only a glimpse,

But

There, the 'take out key' --

It doesn't look like it's pressing, right?

"Dear Miss Coser, I said"

"Don't call me 'Dear Miss Coser,' don't look at me like this, I'm a boy! ”

"Uh-what?"

"No, you just have to remember that I'm a boy and go on. ”

When Ma heard this, he scratched the back of his head with a little doubt,

It's strange that this girl is because of her family? She thinks she's a boy

It can't be a weird girl like Kusunori, right?

But boys have a good impression of those cute girls who are a little weird but strange, cough cough, I said what are you doing?! Don't think of anything else Mr. Uejo!!

The boy looked at the puzzled girl and said:

"Actually, that, this"

“？”

"I don't think vending machines generally swallow money" When Ma looked at Xima, the girl was listening intently to her words, as if the maid was listening to the master's teachings~ Don't show it

That's the kind of expression I have

Xima looked at his brother as if he wanted to tell some incredible secret.

For example, "I'm actually your father" - and so on

But, there is no doubt that

Don't be suspicious.

Even if she is not the sister in my brother's memory,

My instinct was telling me that if it was my brother, he would never lie to me.

There will be nothing wrong with my brother's words, because my brother is my brother

It's as simple as that:――

"My brother never lied to himself".

So as long as my brother believes it, as long as he listens to his brother, it's no problem.

Really, I'm thinking about useless things, huh?

It's that simple

The silver-haired girl nodded, signaling that she was listening.

"So you forgot to press the take out button?"

"Huh!?" The girl's hairs on the top of her head suddenly curled, and she suddenly remembered the arrival of this oolong

That's right, that's right

Indeed, I forgot to press the take out button

That's why no drink came out of it.

Just because I forgot about this foolish thing, I just stood here for two hours!?

Although it's a good thing to meet my brother, it's a bit of a big price, right?

Maybe I've found a part-time job in those two hours and a good daily wage

But it's all in vain,

It's not just that

Xima secretly glanced at his brother and found that the other party had an expression that wanted to laugh

It's over! My brother must think I'm a stupid guy!

"It seems to be true. ”

"Ahh

"Ha~~~~" Why did this girl suddenly become frank?

"Ding~"

When the boy pressed the take button, a mechanical sound came from the vending machine.

Then there's the usual 'clang' sound of a can falling into a metal basket, and a black canned drink rolls out of it.

"Wow, it's out!" the girl's eyes sparkled with joy, but she seemed to have forgotten something that was important to her personally.

What is it exactly?

I can't remember it suddenly, but there is always a time to remember, so it's okay

Kamijo Yuma took out a drink and hit a wit, "Hmm, it's so ice." ”

Because of the cool relationship, the girl made a rather cute voice.

When Ma blushed, in order to hide his embarrassment, he hurriedly took out 500 yen from his wallet and threw it into the vending machine, intending to buy the cold Coke he wanted to buy before.

"Ahhh~?" Xima looked at the logo and found that this drink was not the kind of 'Hell Bitter Melon Snail Juice - Super Edition', which works well when he was hungry, "Why did it come out of 'ice.'"

'Ahh

"Maybe this machine is a little old," said Kamijo Dangma after hearing the girl's words, pressing the button;

"Well, I see, thinking about it, this vending machine has been in this place six years ago, and it is understandable that it will malfunction. ”

It's just that these two teenagers and girls wouldn't have thought that this machine also has times of human destruction, such as the terrifying click of a certain Bilibili

Xima opened the 'iced melon juice' and took a big sip, and suddenly the stuffiness of his body and the resentment of waiting here for more than two hours dissipated without a trace.

Although this drink does not help the body replenish calories, it is much better than not drinking it at all

When Ma watched the girl's movements, he thought to himself that this girl must be an empathetic child, after all, she was so gentle that even this cold machine wanted to understand.

"Hah~" He laughed, "yes, yes, I really didn't expect anyone other than me to remember such an old thing"

Xima didn't answer, but took another sip of melon juice.

When Ma pressed the "take out button", he waited for the arrival of the cold Coke.

But

A minute later-

Two minutes later-

Three minutes later-

No drinks came out of the vending machine.

Xima: "?"

Dangma: "!!"

"Hey, what's going on?!Is this a new popular joke in the 21st century?Mr. Uejo can't afford to play it~ Please, vending machine adult!!Take poor poor Mr. Uejo's

Let's spit out the drink!!"

Kamijo was sweating profusely and shaking the red vending machine, but the big guy seemed to be asleep, and he didn't even react at all

"I, my iced Coke"

"Uh, it really looks like it's broken, this thing"

This time, the hedgehog-headed boy who changed to a certain [fantasy killer] 'didn't give up'.,Although in terms of time, it's not comparable to the white-haired beautiful girl next to him.,But Mr. Uejo didn't either.

What a patient man!

"Please, spit out my drink, bastard! Well, since you won't do that, then at least give me back my 500 yen!! woo wow~!!!

Uh, five hundred yen?

Hearing this, Miss Uejo, who was curled with dull hair, seemed to be a little impressed, or it would be better to remember it a little.

"Wow, wow, ah, ah!!Don't silence me!!I don't want any money I used to buy cold Coke!, as long as you give me back the change that should have been spit out!!

Uh, wait, wait

Brother

My brother just said, "Just give me back the change that you should have spit out," right?

So, now that I think about it, I shouldn't have spit out my change, right?

"Hey, hey, hey, hey!!?"

Finally, Xima also chose to use this line:

"Unfortunate ahh
