“......”

The first thing Kamihara did when he opened his eyes was to silently stare at the pair of purple eyes on the other side of his pillow.

A girl with short shoulder-length hair, a men's white shirt with an overly wide neckline, and the action of hugging the pillow......

Suzu Kamihara smiled awkwardly: "Brother... Good morning. ”

Is she here like that?

Kamihara Le sighed early in the morning and asked her, "Why do you sleep in my bed?" ”

On the other side of the bed, Suzu Kamihara, who was holding a radish doll, was speechless for a long time, and finally showed him a sunny and happy smile:

"I'm here to wake you up!"

My sister's smile is very heartwarming, and her mood seems to overflow on this cute little face.

It's a pity that Kamihara Le won't believe her reason, how can anyone shout to get up and call to the other party's pillow.

"Ah Ling."

"Hmm."

"Have you ever thought you've been too clingy to me lately?"

"Is there one?"

Kamihara Le was a little angry: "Recently, I always like to take a nap by me, and when I watch TV at night and watch sleepy, I like to crawl on my lap to sleep, and now I go directly to my bed, right?" ”

"That's... That's because I don't have a place to lean...... Why don't you use a personal headrest? ”

Suzu Kamihara was very frightened, her hands hugged the radish in her arms very tightly, her eyes fluttered downward, she didn't dare to look at him, and at the same time she was curious about what his expression was now.

......

Maybe it's because of her role as a voice actress.,Every word she says seems to carry a little emotion in her heart.。

Kamihara heard the fear in her words.

Are you afraid that you will become bored with her because she is too clingy?

Ah Ling, I haven't grown up yet.

Still like to rely on people, as before.

Forget it, let's not talk about her.

"Ah Ling."

Suzu Kamihara had been waiting for his answer, and nodded hurriedly, "Hmm." ”

"Let's get up first, I'll make breakfast."

"Aren't you angry, brother......"

"Angry, why don't you get angry, you're not a child anymore, you should know what the distance should be, right?"

Kamihara's tone was quite gentle, but Suzu Kamihara was so scared that she hid her face.

Kamihara continued to ask, "When did you come over?" ”

"It's night..."

"Why did you come here?"

“......”

There is no opening.

......

"Say it, I won't talk about you."

Suzu Kamihara hesitated for a moment: "Last night... Suddenly, suddenly it rained... I... I just... I don't like to hear the sound of thunder... So... That's why I came to you...... Seeing that you are asleep, I can't wake you up... I just slept ......"

Did it rain yesterday?

Kamihara glanced sideways at the windowsill behind his head.

Water was dripping from the windows, and it was still drizzling outside.

It does seem to be raining.

Ah Ling is afraid of thunder, which is a habit that he has had since childhood.

Plus that bastard dad left in the rainy season, often heavy rains, often thunder.

At that time, the family was under a lot of pressure and the atmosphere was strong... Everyone's mood is at a low point, there is no pillar at home, and Ah Ling, who rarely has a sense of security, is naturally even more insecure in this environment.

On a thunderstorm day, she can barely fall asleep by curling up in her arms.

Kamihara still remembers how scared she was so hard to burrow into her arms.

"Now... Are you still so afraid of thunder? ”

"I don't like it, I don't like it."

Tsundere again.

Kamihara Le directly stretched out his hand to rub her hair and touched her head: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid, what excuse is the stupid girl looking for." ”

Kamihara Suzu knew that he was indeed not angry, and he was rubbed by his hand and laughed happily: "That... Dude, you have the final say... Also, don't call me stupid, I'm smart. ”

"That's what everybody says stupid...... Okay, wake up early, and take more than an hour to go to school. ”

"Okay."

Kamihara let Ah Ling go back to his room first, and then he began to dress and wash up every day.

Just as she was about to get breakfast, she was called into her room by Ah Ling, who had changed into a school uniform. Said to help her comb her hair himself.

"Aren't you able to comb yourself?" Kamihara took the comb.

"I'm having trouble tying my own braids."

"You're going to tie your braids today?" While combing her hair with a comb, Kamihara looked at the two reflected in the mirror.

"Hmm." Suzu Kamihara propped her hands on either side of the high stool and shook her feet restlessly, like a little girl who hadn't grown up.

"You want me to help you tie it?"

"Hmm."

"I haven't pierced you in a long time, don't blame me for being ugly."

"It's okay, it's okay."

Hearing her sister say this, Kamihara calmed down and used a comb to tread her hair.

Ah Ling's hair is not pure black, but has a distinctly yellow brown, which is smooth to the touch, and every strand of hair can be clearly seen in the hands.

The ends of the hair are slightly curled inward and there are no split ends, and the overall color is quite good.

Hands and combs ruffled her hair, scented in the interlaced layers of hair.

"Brother, do you want me to have long hair?"

Kamihara Le put the headband on her wrist, pulled the ends of her hair with one hand, and pinched it with the other hand to keep the style, "What do you do with long hair, you haven't always had this kind of medium and short hair." ”

"Don't you like long hair?"

"Who said that?"

"Jiuliuli and Qimingyue, you always look at their hair."

“......”

Nine glasses and seven bright moons... Anyway, their long hair is really good-looking.

The hair itself is very good, and as soon as you stand in the sun, it glows with crystal clear flax gold, and the whole person lights up.

Coupled with their own outstanding temperament, they are twins again.

You can't go out without being eye-catching.

"I think Ah Ling, if you really want to stay, just stay, don't ask me."

"Dude.... Are you trying to say that I don't want to compare myself to them? ”

A low ponytail is fixed with hair tendons, and Kamihara deliberately pulls out three more strands of hair, the middle part hangs down, and the left and right strands are interspersed around the middle strands.

"That's right, Ah Ling has become smarter, you know what I mean." Kamihara stared earnestly at the wheat ear braid that was gradually taking shape in his hand.

"I've always been smart, okay!"

"Okay, well, our Ah Ling is the smartest."

Hearing the compliment, Suzu Kamihara looked at her brother in the mirror who helped her tie her hair, and laughed happily, she kept her hands on the chair, shrunk her neck, and her shaking legs seemed to become much faster.

The braid that derives from the front of the right side is formed, and Kamihara Raku extends this loose braid around her head to the low ponytail at the back, grasping it with both hands and finally holding it in place with a tendon.

Straightening her head, Kamihara looked at her sister in the mirror.

"Hmm... Doesn't it look good? ”

"Ugly."

“...... They all said don't let me prick it. ”

Ah Ling said again: "Ugly is ugly, but there is no problem with the general direction, as long as it is like this..."

Suzu Kamihara said, reaching out to relax, letting some light strands of hair hang down on his temples, and leaving a few strands of hair at the corners of his forehead to embellish and modify his face.

Kamihara's eyes lit up, as if... It's really different.

Suzu Kamihara continued to fiddle: "In this way, well, it's a little fluffy, just now, brother, you were too rigid, and it looks hard." ”

"Indeed, it looks much better."

"Also, the braid should be diagonally back, a little bit lower, and the hair around it is a little more messy, adding a little bit of irregular beauty, a feeling of lightness... Okay, so it looks like it's fine! ”

Kamihara Le looked at the old girl who looked very different in the mirror with a different hairstyle, "It's a lot more beautiful." ”

"Hey, hey, it's good-looking!"

"It's pretty." Kamihara stood behind her, and when he saw that her face was so beautiful, he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her face.

It's soft and elastic...

"What are you doing..."

"I think you're cute."

"Hmph, don't you think... It's very happy to have a beautiful sister who is swollen. Suzu Kamihara said triumphantly, but she was pinched in the face and was a little slurred.

The more Kamihara Le, the happier he became, and his sister didn't seem to interrupt him:

"Didn't the short video you made before have a lot of likes?"

"That's right."

"I've seen a lot of people asking if you're an idol in the comments."

"I'm a voice actor, voice actor!"

"Voice actors also have idol voice actors.,It's not like your agent didn't call me before.,Said that there are plans to make you an idol voice actor in the future... How many productions have you starred in? ”

"I don't know," Suzu Kamihara replied, "I guess... Dozens? Most of them are playing tricks, and they've only been getting better recently... By the way, when this work is broadcast now, don't forget to watch it! ”

Kamihara Le touched her somewhat bulging face and smiled, "The sister of the strongest dominator in the previous part... Why don't you let me see it? ”

"You call the wrong name... And, that, that's so shameful! ”

"The more ashamed I am, the more I want to hear it."

"No, you can't listen to it! If you really want to hear it... Starting tonight, I'm going to record this anime radio drama, and you can go and listen to it. ”

"Can you hear me?"

"Well, it's live."

"What is it?"

"It's just... An interactive dialogue between my character and the male protagonist! If you don't listen... Also, it's nothing. ”

Kamihara found that she didn't have a bow for her school uniform, so he took it over and helped her tie it carefully.

Suzu Kamihara stretched her neck at his movements.

"Since you've told me to listen, I'm sure I'm going to listen."

"Well, listen to me, but don't laugh at me ...... after that."

"Shy?"

"Not really!"

Kamihara straightened the bow on her neckline and put down her hand: "Okay, I'll cook, go to school early." ”

"Hmm."

......

"Brother, are you going to do that?"

"Well, I'm going to eat less."

"Alright then, I'll eat less, too."

"You eat more, you can save 18 years and no development at all."

"Flat-chested is the best, isn't it?"

"Uh-huh, do you believe what you say?"

Glancing at the old brother who was serving breakfast in the kitchen, Suzu Kamihara lowered her head with a sigh, she looked at her chest that seemed to have and seemed to be undulating, touched her hands, fantasized about the ideal size, and pinched the air.

"Alright, stop pinching the air." Kamihara smacked her head with a quick shot.

"Hey, it hurts, what are you doing?"

Kamihara Le handed out the fast child, "Give you the fast child, hurry up and go to school, in addition to work, remember to take care of your studies more, I heard your teacher say that your grades have dropped a little recently." ”

"There's no way around it... How can anyone juggle studying all the time..."

"Well, I'll find a time to help you with your tuition, and for now, eat quickly."

"Okay dude!"

"Don't pretend to be weird."

After breakfast, Kamihara briefly cleaned up the table, took the key, and went out with his younger sister, who was a head shorter.

When they arrived at the school, Kamihara Raku and Kamihara Suzu parted at the top of the stairs.

"See you in the afternoon~"

"Hmm."

Ah Ling is a student in the second class, Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue are in the first class, and she is in the fourth class.

I'll be in the second grade in April next year, and I don't know if I'll be able to get together.

I'll be in second grade next year.

Come to think of it, time flies...

Retracting his gaze, Kamihara turned around and went to his classroom, carrying a shoulder bag, and Kamihara pushed the door open.

Come to your seat... Dig into the drawer.

As he thought, the lunch box made by Jiuliuli was put inside.

As usual, it also comes with a handwritten note.

[Today is lettuce sandwich + shrimp udon + black coffee panna cotta... It's the first time I've made the panna cotta, and I don't know how to evaluate the taste, but it's definitely not unpalatable...... If my brother needs anything, be sure to tell me, I'll listen carefully.]

At the end of the note, there was a blushing smiling emoji with a little bit of shyness.

Kamihara sat on the edge of the bed in the classroom with the leaves swaying, and reached for the lunch box.

It's like it's written on a slip of paper.

Sandwiches, udon, custard......

The presentation is exquisite, the rice is sprinkled with seaweed, and the sandwich is wrapped in a thin layer of oiled paper for your own convenience.

"The First Evolution"

Kamihara Le habitually glanced at the door of the classroom, and Jiu Liuli didn't seem to be looking at himself at the door today.

The doorway was empty, and there was no crappy head......

It's strange, why do you want to see her peeping at her eating?

Kamihara reached for a sandwich, put it in his mouth and ate it.

Flavor...

It seems to be getting better and better.

......

Time came in the afternoon, the first period of physical education.

Kamihara stretched his body, thinking about what gifts he would give to Qimingyue and Jiu Liuli in two days.

To be honest, he clearly told Qi Mingyue that he wanted to give her a gift.

But I really don't have a clue about what to send.

According to the previous experience - dolls.

Someone is about to ask, what will you give this guy besides a doll?!

In addition to dolls, there are also pillows.

Of course, in addition to the pillow, there is also a full-body pillow.

......

Many of the dolls in Suzu's room were given to her by herself.

I gave her a rabbit doll many years ago, and she seems to have kept it.

Although Ah Ling often says that he hates his brother.

Whether it's annoying or not, she knows it best.

...... Getting back to the point, what exactly is the gift to give to the twins, Kamihara Le wrapped up this question and asked about the galgame master, Nishijima Oki-san.

"Gifts? Your sister is having a birthday? ”

"Ah, almost, don't you think it's the most troublesome thing to give gifts? Every time, I have to think about it for a long time, and in the end I still don't know what to send. ”

Nishijima pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "It's very difficult, and this is one of the most asked questions by high school boys in this world... That's all there is to it, but I don't think it should be so simple. ”

"Oh? What are your opinions? As Kamihara Raku spoke, he also glanced at Fujino, who was running half-dead on the playground.

"According to my years of galgame experience, the gift is not a thing, but how much you give to the other party in this gift - this kind of gift can be called a profound gift."

"I don't understand."

"Let's put it this way, when a girl needs care, I ask you, what do you think is a better gift?"

"Teddy bear?"

"Teddy bears are good, but I don't think it's okay to buy her a bento and give it to her, as long as it's within normal limits..."

"Oh?" Kamihara was interested, and this guy from Nishijima seemed to have something to do," he continued. ”

"Is the key point in the gift itself? No, as long as you gave it to her with your own hands, gave her what she needed, and she received care from your gift... What teddy bears, bento, books, all the same. ”

Kamihara pinched his chin and thought seriously: "You mean, the key is in what is sent." Does the gift given have feelings, and does the gift have the feelings that the other party needs in themselves? ”

"That's right, a comic I read recently, which is about the heroine who has not been cared for by her parents since she was a child, and then disguised a perfect posture to protect herself... The male protagonist, hesitated again and again, and picked a doll in the toy store as a birthday gift for her, and she was so moved that she liked it so much that she regarded the doll as the most precious thing.

"Isn't that it? As long as you give the other person what they need, the gift is just a carrier, and it doesn't matter what it is. ”

"It's kind of amazing, Nishijima." Kamihara patted him on the shoulder and couldn't help but praise him.

Nishijima Oki looked at Fujino Yoshiyuki, who was so tired that he was about to pass out, but no one went up to help him, and continued: "Actually, for most people, birthdays are not important at all. But doesn't it really matter? Is it really not needed?

"No, it's just that because no one cares, it doesn't matter if there's a birthday."

Nishijima Daiki's words of emotion even reminded Kamihara of something:

"On my birthday, no one says happy birthday to themselves at all."

Seeing that no one came to help him, Fujino Yoshiyuki sat directly on the asphalt runway, panting at the sky.

Nishijima Oki muttered, "yes, no one can say happy birthday to themselves that day... Over time, even I don't care about birthdays......"

"......," Kamihara remained silent.

"Kamihara."

"Huh?"

"Your sister will give you a gift, right?"

"She, she'll still send it."

"So, you're also an enviable guy."

"How did you celebrate your birthday in Nishijima? He also said that you, as I just said, don't feel about your birthday at all. ”

"Oh, my parents won't celebrate for me... But on my birthday, I still have a good attitude to myself, I will stay at home, turn on the TV, insert a game that I liked before, and then read the archive, look at the girl holding the gift, in a shy expression, I am embarrassed to hand out the gift, and whisper to me happy birthday. ”

Nishijima Daiki said this sentence calmly throughout the whole process.

"Spiritual pillars?"

"Ridiculous, isn't it?"

"No, I think it should be respected."

Listening to Fujino, in the past, Nishijima would be ridiculed by his classmates when he played galgame.

And he didn't say a word the whole time......

Now that I think about it, Ah Ling, do you also regard yourself as this kind of existence similar to a spiritual pillar?

How much of a place does she occupy in the forest deep within her?

Because when she was a child, she always protected her, and helped her sort out her clothes, cook, and help her with homework.

Because of this... She would have come to her in the middle of the night last night for support.

Because I knew that I had grown up, I didn't go straight into my arms like when I was a child, but lay quietly beside me, and quietly closed my eyes and slept......

She knew she should keep her distance, and she even used the topic of distance to teach her.

Kamihara suddenly felt that he couldn't stand her.

No wonder she's scared......

After a long time, it wasn't until the next shot from the physical education teacher that Kamihara Raku broke free from the memory of the morning.

"Kamihara, it's up to you next." Nishijima Daiki took the statistical board, glanced at the list and said.

"Got it."

At this time, Kamihara's eyes crossed the entire playground and saw an impressive tall figure on the way from the school gate to the teaching building.

She wore a top hat, her hands folded in front of her, her long skirt stretched, and the sound of her high heels seemed to be heard from here.

Kamihara frowned from afar, and said to himself:

"Aunt Bertha? What is she doing at school... And the headmaster was still with her......"
