"Hot, hot, hot~"

It was August 15, and the heat wave outside was visibly distorting the air, and the fans in the room were rattling. Suzu Sakakihara, who was sitting in front of the fan with her legs in her arms, also shook her head at the same speed.

"Oh my God~"

"It's air conditioned."

"But it's hot......"

She suddenly stopped shaking her head, continued to close her eyes, and fell limply to the other side of the couch.

She opened her lazy eyes, pressed her face to the carrot pillow, and stared at Sakakihara in front of her, who had only one back.

"Brother, brother~"

"Well, what's wrong."

"There's no need to finish your vacation homework now."

Sakakihara checked his homework: "It's been half a month since the summer vacation, and I'm slow." I advise you to hurry up and write too, and don't go crazy to make up your homework in the last few days. ”

Suzu Sakakibara hooked the fabric of the sofa with her index finger, and half of the flesh of her face was squeezed by the carrot. She pouted and said, "Who knew that there were so many homework in this school, in the past, I would definitely finish it in three days." ”

"Then you should write quickly."

"I don't want it~"

......

"Brother, come over here~"

"What."

"Come here."

"Wait until I'm done with this."

Sakakihara Suzu was unhappy when she saw that her brother didn't come to her.

Sakakihara wrote the title earnestly, and when he was in thought, he tapped the surface of the paper with the end of his pen, giving off a clicking sound.

"The sine value... Hey, what are you hugging me all of a sudden? ”

"Hmph~"

Sakakihara was wrapped around her neck by Suzu Sakakihara laughing.

The skin of her arms pressed against his neck, and her head rested on his shoulders.

Sakakihara was no longer surprised by his sister's affectionate movements, and continued to write the title: "Are you hungry? ”

"Why can my brother face the closeness of your super invincible and cute angel sister, and he can actually ask the question of whether he is hungry? Shouldn't it be a special pleasure? ”

"Hungry?" Sakakihara wrote a formula in the workbook.

"Hungry!"

"Heh, that's true, what do you want to eat."

"Hooray! Brother is the best! ”

Suzu Sakakihara wrapped her arms around his neck and folded her hands in front of him and said, "I want to eat, curry, fried ice cream, passion fruit ice powder, cold spinach, cherry blossom shrimp omelet, shredded white radish pickles, and ......"

"Stop, stop!"

Sakakihara Le put down the pen directly, and looked at the two fingers in front of him speechlessly: "I'll just feed the recipe to your mouth." ”

"Okay, if it's my brother, I won't refuse."

"Forget it, have you forgotten what day it is?"

"Yes, the fireworks festival."

"There are so many things out there, there's enough for you to eat."

"But the invincible and lovely sister I think, the things made outside are not as delicious as the things made by my brother~" Sakakihara Suzu withdrew her hand, moved her two big white legs back and forth to his side, and knelt down obediently.

He also winked at him playfully.

"Would you like to eat that night?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Nod frantically.

"Ah, by the way, this time to the fireworks festival, do you want to change into a yukata and go out."

"Why are you wearing a yukata, your usual clothes are pretty good," Sakakihara Suzu realized something, "Wait, are they going to change yukata too?" ”

Sakakihara nodded: "Yes." ”

"Then I'll wear it too!"

"What do you compare to them?"

"I don't care about them in ordinary people, who makes them look so beautiful, like foxes."

That's right.

Where are the Tianhai sisters like foxes?

Pretty is very pretty...

Coincidentally, at this time, the two "fox" ladies walked from the bedroom to the living room together.

They wore the same gradient light yellow slip dress, their shoulders and collarbones exposed, their skin was snow-white, and their breasts covered their breasts below the collarbone. The skirt is shorter, which undoubtedly shows off the conspicuous slender legs.

At a glance, you can see their freshness in the summer.

Sakakihara noticed that the sisters usually wore the same style of clothes when they went out.

And it is a refreshing and comfortable gradient color.

The simple clothes and the long flaxen-colored hair made them so beautiful that people didn't dare to face them.

If it's a fox, it has to be a fairy fox.

Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes fell on Sakakihara Suzu: "I seem to have heard someone say that my sister and I are foxes just now. ”

"I'm praising you!" Suzu Sakakihara protested.

"And what is my sister?"

"Of course I'm a rabbit! It's lovely! ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue's natural innocent expression: "Does that sister know that foxes specialize in eating rabbits." ”

Suzu Sakakihara was stunned.

Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled and said, "Brother, my aunt called us out." ”

"Buying a yukata?"

"That's right."

"Are you really going out to buy a yukata? Do you really want to wear it? I feel so tired when I go out~" Suzu Sakakihara's tone became lazy, and her eyes drooped.

Sakakihara Le: "Then you can't get out." ”

"I definitely want it, I can't help it, but I want you to carry me."

"What's the good of carrying you."

"Hmph, then the old brother can enjoy the intimacy of the invincible cute beautiful girl!"

"Pain, pain, pain."

Sakakihara Le reached out and pinched Sakakihara Suzu's face, and she was pulled and screamed in pain.

"Don't come to this set, hurry, go out."

......

The place to buy yukata is not the big shopping mall you imagined.

Instead, in a Japanese-style shop in Chiyoda-ku, there is a plant with an unknown name planted at the door, which looks like a vine and a branch, climbs up to the eaves, and is covered with green leaves.

Standing below, there is still a bit of coolness.

The interior sinks, and you have to take two steps down to enter the store.

The room is even cooler, with a variety of classic traditional costumes hanging on both sides - yukata, kimono, and silk with various patterns.

There are quite a lot of customers here, but fortunately, the shop is quite large, and there is an open-air yard to rest on the side.

Shigeru Amami and his mother are waiting in the store. Seeing the arrival of several people, Mrs. Sakakihara intimately began to take care of her daughters to buy yukatas.

Compared to the beauty of women's yukatas, men's yukata are much simpler.

Gray, black, cyan blue.

Because of the simplicity and the fact that there was nothing to choose, Sakakihara felt that the material was good and the clothes fit, so he chose a black yukata.

Mom and the three girls chose clothes in full swing, Sakakihara listened to it for a long time, and was still a little shaken, what were they talking about?

"It's a bit of a hassle for women to choose clothes, right?"

To Sakakihara's surprise, this was actually Tenkai Shigeruni, which was what his stepfather said to him.

“... I think it's okay, but I don't know why I have been struggling with a small thing for so long. ”

"The patterns are also exquisite, and the patterns on the yukata have names, and they are probably saying that the combination is auspicious and beautiful."

Tianhai Maodian looked at him and suddenly asked, "It's been 4 months since you lived together, how do you feel about getting along with them?" ”

......

What do you think.

Can I tell you directly that I like your daughter.

Facing the stepfather plus the title of future father-in-law, Shigeru Amami.

Sakakihara's heart is a little frizzy.

Anyway... I like this kind of thing, I can't see the light.

"Jiuliuli is very good and will often help. Seven bright moon's words... Well, it feels great to study together. ”

White teeth, such embarrassing words have been spoken.

Tianhai Shigeruni is a smart person, and he can see the mood of the stepson in front of him at the moment.

As a father of two girls, he said to him in a relaxed voice:

"The family usually bothers you to take care of them, this time I took the time to take you out for a trip, mainly to help you relax and relax, if you need any money, just ask."

"No, the living expenses given by my uncle are completely sufficient."

"Well, that's good. July, that girl didn't play any pranks on you, did she? ”

Sakakihara remembered that on the day she had just finished taking a shower, she was carrying a thin bath towel and asked herself if she wanted to see what it looked like inside.

"Nope."

"That's good. She is a very proud person in her heart, except for people she knows, she usually looks down on anyone, and she also holds grudges, last time I came home from work and took a bag of her potato chips to eat, and after a week, she could retaliate with mustard. ”

Sakakihara had long wanted to ask about this matter.

"Uncle, aren't you angry?"

"I want to be angry, but I can't," Shigeruni Amami sighed, "I owe them so much when I was a child, and I didn't take much care of them even after divorcing their mother. It was natural for them to hate me, but it wasn't, so when I entered high school, I relaxed their conditions a lot. ”

"I think you have a very important place in their hearts, uncle."

Tianhai Shigeruni saw that he seemed to know something, "Did they tell you about their childhood?" ”

"Yes, I said something."

"In this way, then they must have a good impression of you," Tianhai Maodian laughed, "Also, in the past four months, you have taken care of the family, and nothing has happened, Ah Le, you are only 17 years old, and as a high school student, you are a good man with a sense of responsibility." ”

"No," Sakakihara said modestly.

"It's not a compliment, but I know it's difficult to maintain a good family relationship and make it clear that it's a home...... At least I've never done it, and I don't know what to say to my kids..... As for the physiological problems of July and Liuli in terms of girls when they grow up, I can't talk about it. ”

Shigerunori Amami has one hand on his knees, and even if it is for everyday clothes, he has a steady adult masculinity.

He seemed to be thinking about whether something should be said at this time.

"Forget it," he thought for a long time, and finally sighed, "I'll tell you, a while ago, your mother told me about your wedding photo shoot with July." ”

......

......

Sakakihara's pupils immediately shrank.

However, he quickly noticed that Uncle Tianhai didn't seem to be angry, but with the intention of discussing with him.

"After being in contact for so many days, I believe that even if I haven't said it in detail, you should know some of the forces behind the Tianhai family."

"Well, I know a little bit."

"As for me, I don't have a good relationship with July Liuli's grandfather, because of the previous marriage to Bertha. At present, the Tianhai family has more than a dozen branches, and my line is the main family, my father has ten children, I am the eldest, and the rest are all daughters. ”

......

In other words, Uncle Tianhai has nine younger sisters.

Uncle Tianhai, Si Guoyi...

"The second one and I are a year apart," Shigerunori Amami recalled, "The youngest one, I think about it, now... It should be the same age as July Liuli. ”

The old man is also amazing!

Live to a green old age.

"My father only has one son, and I only have two daughters, July and Ruri, you know what that means."

"Broken generations?"

"Well, it's broken."

"For a family business, the discontinuation of the family is a big deal, and I don't want to be bound by this kind of thing, and whether to have children or not should not be decided by this kind of thing. In Japan, however, there is usually a way to get around such situations. ”

Sakakihara Le guessed what it was: "Into the money? ”

"That's right, I'm in a hurry..."Tianhai Shigeru's tone became complicated, "When your mother told me about the July incident, I also found it a little difficult to deal with, on the one hand, to take care of Miwa's mood, and on the other hand, to take care of your mood.

"After all, this is a new home, and I don't want a family to be on the verge of breaking up just after it was formed.

Later, the misunderstanding was resolved, and the wedding photos were indeed caused by her naughtiness in July. She has loved wedding dresses since she was a child, and recently when I couldn't control her, it wasn't too strange to sneak out to get in touch.

"The misunderstanding was cleared up, but I didn't think about it...... I thought about it for a long time, until now.

"Well, at the end of the day, I just want to convey one of my opinions to you - if you are good enough, and with the consent of the other person, I can let you try to reach them.

"You know what I mean, right?"

......

Uncle, I agreed?!

That's it, a simple yes?

Although now I haven't skimmed the nine glass characters.

But Uncle Tianhai's statement is undoubtedly the most difficult gap to overcome!

Tianhai Shigerun smiled: "Don't be surprised, I'm not an old-fashioned person, if I were old-fashioned, I wouldn't have disobeyed my father and married Bertha in England, although it turned out that I was wrong, but I don't regret it." In the lawyer's business, being rigid also means that you actively discard a lot of logic. ”

Tianhai Maodian's expression and tone became serious.

"If you really want to choose, then you also have to understand the meaning of the surname Tianhai, whether it is marrying Jiu Liuli or Qi Mingyue, the pressure on you behind them is much greater than you think."

Shigerunori Amami placed his hand on Sakakihara's shoulder, as if to signal him to relax.

"If you want to get something, you always need to work hard for it, and it is no different for me that you join the Tianhai family, I was too demanding of them when I was a child, and because of the divorce, I couldn't give them anything...... At the moment I just want to see my daughter happy... She agreed, and everything was easy to say.

"But you don't have any pressure, most of it is in the future, the old man is still strong now, and he will retire early, and when the time comes, you will definitely have graduated from college. Now you can study with peace of mind. ”

"Uncle, I have a question."

"Hmm."

"Can you not get involved?"

"Do you want to get involved?" Tianhai Maodian laughed and said, "Yes, as long as you can acquire Tianhai Group and have a large enough right to speak, the people in the family will naturally listen to you." ”

.....

After the father and son talked, the mother and the three of them also bought their own yukata and walked out of the store.

Before getting into the car, Tianhai Jiuliuli stepped to his side and said in his ear:

"Brother, you like white yukatas, don't you?"

"Hmm... I remember I wanted to say it to you. ”

"I bought white today."

After speaking, Tianhai Jiu Ruri sat in the tailgate of the car with a gentle smile like cherry blossoms.

......

I bought the white one today...

Reflecting on the meaning of Tianhai Jiururi's words, Sakakihara Suzu was already urging him to get in the car quickly.

I don't know if it's because I was in a much lighter mood after learning that my uncle had no restrictions, sitting in the car, the sun was shining, and Sakakihara was happy to see more colors on the gentle face of Tianhai Jiu Ruri who was smiling at him next to him.

Today's fireworks festival seems to be more than just a family's fireworks display.

......

There are still two hours left before the fireworks display begins.

The sky is nearly dusk, but the lively atmosphere of the temple fair seems to have appeared in front of you.

Layering clothes cross-layered right and then left, with the belt tied in a knot at the side... Sakakihara examined the all-black yukata outfit.

It's handsome, but it makes sense.

Because of the usual exercise, his figure is very good, his own appearance tends to be quiet, and the dark color yukata and quite good lacing match make him look more calm overall.

If this dress were worn by an old man, he might be recognized as the leader of the extreme way.

He wears it just right, young and stable, steady and handsome

When he walked out, even his mother looked at him and said without hesitation: "My son is so handsome." ”

I didn't expect that I would be embarrassed by my mother's praise one day.

Sakakihara Miwa helped Sakakihara hold the collar: "Well, that's good, tell my mother secretly, do you like Qimingyue or Jiuliuli?" ”

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden..."

"This is a fireworks festival, visiting the temple fair is especially suitable for dating girls scene, which one do you like, I will help you create a little space."

“......”

Mom unexpectedly understands it very well.

Forget it, tell it, anyway, my uncle agrees.

After listening to this, Sakakihara Miwa looked a little strange: "I thought you liked that girl of Qimingyue." ”

"Ahem, okay, Mom, don't ask about this."

"Excuse me? What's embarrassing about liking girls, that's good, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, when the time comes, I'll take Qi Mingyue and Ah Ling to buy something to eat, and you will take the opportunity to leave secretly with Jiu Liuli..."

This... Speaking of which, Sakakihara is all moved!

"Anyway, how does Jiuliuli do to your senses?"

“... Not clear, but she knows I like her. ”

"After I knew, did I alienate you?"

"Nope."

"That's good, it shows that she doesn't hate your feelings and is waiting for you to go further. Ah Le, you have to remember to cherish it, there are very few excellent girls like Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue, you have to seize the opportunity, your mother is very optimistic about you! The Sakakihara family is the only one who has a good son. ”

By the way, Sakakihara is his mother's real surname, and after the bastard father disappeared, his mother went through the divorce procedures.

And changed the surnames of the two siblings to Sakakihara.

It's also to keep there from a little bit of that bastard in your life.

"Ah Ling is also very promising, and he can be a voice actor at the age of 15."

"Well, you're all good, Mom is proud of you."

Sakakihara Miwa probably remembered the past, and when she said this, her tone fluctuated.

......

After tidying up a little, Sakakihara went out with his mother.

As for the three of them... The three of them seemed to be missing some accessories in their yukatas, so Uncle Tianhai could only drive them back again.

Everyone made an appointment to meet together at the Sumida River.

On the train, most of the passengers have changed into festive yukata robes, carrying small bags or small food baskets and laughing and talking to each other about their daily lives.

Of course, there are also young male and female high school students.

Some are in a pile, and some are wearing ordinary clothes and headphones, and they are alone.

Sakakihara also saw a young couple standing on opposite him.

The girl is dressed up exquisitely, pulling the ring of the tram with one hand.

The high school boy, on the other hand, was very embarrassed to stretch out a hand, eager to hold hands with her, and finally the tram shook lightly, touched it slightly, and the girl turned around, and the boy shyly withdrew his half-stretched hand.

Oh, if it's you, you'll definitely hold it with one hand.

Sakakihara couldn't help but think.

Fireworks festival, the temple fair at night, do you want to buy an apple candy for Jiuliuli...?

Will she accept it?
