"I almost forgot, did you promise me one thing?"

Takanawa Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

Suzu Sakakihara stood high in the flower bed by the side of the road and asked Sakakihara Rakku at the bottom of the stairs.

Her skirt dances in the wind, the sun shines brightly over Tokyo, and her colorful sneakers under her slender legs match the bright flowers in the flower beds.

"About my gambling agreement for half a year to help you do your laundry without getting a girlfriend this week?"

"That's right." Sakakihara Suzu nodded above, purple eyes locked on his face.

She probably thinks that standing on the flower bed will give her a kind of condescending air supremacy.

But Sakakihara has never forgotten that he is her own brother:

"That kind of thing, do you think, I'd agree? I have every reason to believe that this bet of yours is deliberately trying to trick me. ”

"Whether you agree or not, brother, you don't have a girlfriend, that's the truth." Suzu Sakakihara turned her face and walked slowly on the edge of the flower bed, and when she was at the end, she jumped to the opposite flower bed with all her strength.

She kept her hands balanced, and as she got up, the hem of her skirt came to a quiet halt.

"I'm going to win anyway! You're not going to have a girlfriend this week. ”

Ashiya Suzuraku... To this day, Sakakihara still remembers the name.

When I thought that it might be my first love, the guy was actually this girl... I even went on a date... How should this mood be described?

"The more you mention this, the more angry I become."

"Haha, don't be angry, come on, laugh."

Suzu Sakakihara jumped off the flower bed, poked her cheeks with two fingers, and squeezed out a smile at him.

Her smile is beautiful and bright.

In fact, whenever she smiled at herself like this, Sakakihara felt like her fist was hitting cotton.

"Teasing me for a month, do you know how much sadness and tears there are? I also bought you a lipstick on Amazon, 33,333 yen! Even if you sell cuteness to me, it's useless. ”

"Hehe~ I'll wear that thing now, do you look good?" Suzu Sakakihara pointed to her lips that she had just pursed.

"I don't see the difference."

He chose to turn around and move on.

Sakakihara Suzu followed him for a while, and because of her beauty, she attracted the attention of many pedestrians on the road.

"Brother, we are allies now." Suzu Sakakihara said for no reason.

"The enemy is pretty much the same."

"It means that now we are on the same page... Our surname is Sakakihara, their surname is Amami, and I'm the youngest... If I'm being bullied, brother, you must help me. ”

Sakakihara didn't know what she meant by saying this suddenly, and he turned his head just in time to find Sakakihara Suzu smiling and pointing the screen of the phone with the rabbit case at him.

Above is a text message from a broker.

It basically means that she has a job, and she needs to go over and record now.

I guess my weekend work is to record an anime radio drama or something.

SAKAKIHARA ISN'T SURPRISED BY THIS, AS SHE HAS OFTEN LEFT ABRUPTLY SINCE SHE JOINED WORD ONE DAY IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL.

"I really have work to do right now, so... If you want to see your new home, you have to go by yourself. ”

Suzu Sakakihara's expression suddenly became serious.

"Also, my box, you must not open it!!"

Sakakihara glanced carefully at the timestamp of the text message.

11:02。

"You're going to work, why didn't you tell me at the time?"

"Who knows." She put away her phone.

"Actually... The voice actor industry is quite noble," Sakakihara Suzu said as she walked with her hands in her pockets, "My parents work for well-known companies, the daughter of a government official, the daughter of an entrepreneur, and the daughter of a respected voice actor in the industry... How can a civilian-born person like me compare to them if he doesn't work hard? How do you fit into their circle? ”

She tilted her head sideways and stared at Sakakihara for a while, and suddenly, as if she was pulling out a gift, she took out a brand-new mobile phone from the pocket of her coat and put it in front of him and shook it in front of him.

"Will be ~~!"

"For me?" Sakakihara discovers that this is the latest model of the same model as his broken phone.

"Or else?" Sakakihara Suzu grabbed his hand and stuffed the phone directly into his hand, not giving him room to refuse, "The mobile phone card was also handled for you, I wanted to give it to you yesterday, but you were too annoying yesterday!" Today, there are buns to eat, which is not bad. ”

"I was annoying yesterday? You see, it was me who was deceived yesterday... Still, thank you. ”

"Well, you don't need to care about this kind of detail."

Suzu Sakakihara stopped, tilting her little head slightly and smiling at him.

"Well, let's say goodbye here, don't miss me!"

"When we meet every day, I won't miss you."

"I know it's such an answer, my brother is not interesting at all!"

"Also," Suzu Sakakihara's expression suddenly became a little melancholy, "I still can't fully accept the two of them now, and my mother has become as if she suddenly only cares about them..."

Suzu Sakakihara kept looking at Sakakihara.

There were some things she wanted to say, but she couldn't.

In the end, she showed a cute smile like a sister: "Then I'll go to work first!" ”

"Well, go ahead."

In this way, Suzu Sakakihara turned around and smiled at him as she reached the end of the street, and when she turned again, her figure quickly disappeared into the intersection of vehicles.

Sakakihara stands under a zelkova tree on the side of the street.

The sun shone through the treetops, a turquoise shadow on his arm.

He looked at the brand-new mobile phone in his hand, pressed the power button with his fingers, and the screen soon flashed Apple's classic logo.

"You actually bought me a new phone."

She still uses 10 generations, and she is willing to buy 13 for herself.

I've been clamoring to buy it, but I've been reluctant to spend so much.

It was as if it was the most valuable gift she'd ever given herself.

In the past, the time when my father won the jackpot and suddenly disappeared was actually the time when Ah Ling was the most clingy to herself.

As soon as she entered junior high school, she suddenly said to her mother and herself at dinner one day: I want to be a voice actor.

It was unreliable at that time, and now it seems that it has officially been on the right track.

In this way, she is also quite powerful.

Looking at the address book with only the phone numbers of his mother and Suzu Sakakihara, Sakakihara put away his phone, put his hands in his pockets, and continued to move forward.

——————

Takanawa 3-chome, Minato-ku.

Sakakihara came to an apartment building.

From the height of this dozens of floors, it can be understood that this is a fairly high-end apartment.

Obviously, I was still living in that kind of old and dilapidated one-family building a few days ago, and now I want to live in this kind of sea-view house?

A new home, a new sister, and a new stepfather.

Sakakihara was thinking about these things, and he took the elevator to the sixteenth floor according to the message his sister had just forwarded to him, and walked to a half-hidden door.

The door was not closed, and there was wind and light in the gap between the door and the door frame.

Sakakihara knocked twice on the door, and only pushed it in until no one responded.

The living room is quite large, and you can enter the room with a view of Tokyo Bay from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows.

The coffee table and sofa were filled with moving companies' boxes, some of which had been opened, and inside were some skirt-style clothes, and some fragrances were inexplicably wafting in front of them.

When Sakakihara changed his shoes in the hallway and walked to the living room, he looked up and found a beautiful flower quietly blooming.

The girl stood on the balcony, looking out at the distant seascape, the city and Tokyo Bay outlining the silhouette of her face, and the sunlight shining through the clouds illuminating her flaxen hair.

She stood in the oncoming sea breeze, looking out at the sea and sky in the harbor, her body as straight and straight as a delicate ornament in a gift shop, and her hair was as light and beautiful as a dandelion swaying over the city.

"Nine... Glass...? Sakakihara couldn't tell the two sisters apart at all, and shouted tentatively based on the existing impression.

The girl heard the voice and turned her head, her brightly colored sky-blue eyes piercing the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, and her long hair, caressed by the sea breeze, was incredibly beautiful.

"That's my sister."
