Go out after breakfast.

If there is anything that is still unfinished, then it is to hold the hand of Jiuliuli.

The touch of intertwining with a girl's fingers will make my heart feel a different taste.

It feels far more delicate and soft than my own hands, and it is very delicate and comfortable.

Of course, these are all antecedents.

On the tram heading to the suburbs of Tokyo, Kamihara Raku and Kamihara Suzu sat on one side, and opposite the two of them were the seven bright moons of Amami and the nine glasses of Amami, who were dressed exactly the same today.

The current situation is a little embarrassing in the eyes of Kamiharaku.

Jiu Liuli is diagonally opposite her, although he currently has a good relationship with her... But the two of them were embarrassed to behave in front of Qi Mingyue and Ah Ling.

It's not good to chat with Tianhai Jiuliuli, and I don't have a chance to hold hands.

Tianhai Seven Bright Moon and Kamihara Suzu didn't mean to speak...

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Kamihara felt as if today's development was not going very well.

He coughed slightly, allowing the three of them to focus on himself.

"Today, we will go to Mt. Takao to have a fun, eat at the scenic spot at noon, and then take the tram home in the afternoon."

Suzu Kamihara looked at the elder brother: "What about your gift?" ”

"There must be an arrangement for gifts, just rest assured."

Kamihara Le went on to talk about the route up the mountain and the return method to go down the mountain, Jiu Liuli and Ah Ling nodded in understanding, only Qi Mingyue cast her eyes on the suburban fields outside the window, and only when Kamihara Le found out her state and called out to her, she came back to her senses.

"Qi Mingyue, how about this arrangement?"

"Huh? Well, you can. ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli, found that his sister was a little dazed, looked at her with the same side face as himself and asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue replied emotionlessly:

"It's okay, sister, it's just that I'm thinking about something and I haven't listened carefully."

"Well, that's good."

"But I'm a little sleepy, just call me when the place arrives."

"Okay, I'll call you when I get to the station."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue nodded lightly, leaning her head sideways on her back.

Listening to the sound of the three of them communicating, she stared out the window for a while, the glass overlapped and the scenery flickered, and her child's hole was slightly to the left, falling into the appearance of Kamihara Le reflected in the glass phantom.

His mind was full of the morning when he and his sister were in the kitchen talking about love.

Tianhai Qimingyue closed his eyes again, listened to the sound of the train moving fast, took a gentle breath, and then slowly and calmly exhaled.

Forget about those.

......

When they arrived at Takaosan Station in Hachioji City, Tianhai Qimingyue was woken up by Tianhai Nine Glass, and then the four of them got off the tram together and came to the scenic spot at the foot of Mt. Takao.

It's quite lively, and the scenic area is full of all kinds of dolls and dolls, as well as puff fans and trinkets.

Although Suzu Kamihara looked sullen this morning, she likes to play and eat the most, and when she sees those things, she can't stay anymore for a while, and she pulls Kamihara to go to see those gadgets.

Afterwards... After that, it's the classic and other girls who choose goods.

Tianhai Jiuliuli and Ah Ling know how to match jewelry, they can talk together, Shenyuan Le and Tianhai Qimingyue are standing at the door, waiting for them.

"Jiu Liuli and Ah Ling have a good relationship?" Kamihara asked.

"It's originally good, because you moved, and because you were dumped by your sister, my sister-chan still has some little mustard for my sister."

Kamihara nodded and expressed understanding: "Then what does Ah Ling think of you?" ”

"Family."

"Really?"

She said to me herself.

"Ah Ling is also seriously handling the relationship with you...... Qimingyue, you look unhappy today? ”

"Why do you ask?"

"You're on the train, you're not interested, it's obviously your birthday, you should be happy."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue hugged her chest with her hands: "I'm very happy, but no one can be happy to see the person I like and my sister eyebrows." ”

What happened in the morning was seen by Little July?

“...... Qi Mingyue, you should let go of this relationship. ”

"Brother is trying to persuade me to give up?"

"Hmm... In this case, everyone will be in a good position. ”

To Kamihara's surprise, Tianhai Qi Mingyue suddenly lowered his hand, and his delicate face, as well as the temperament around him, made the temperature around him visibly begin to drop.

"Don't you think you're going too far?"

"Huh?"

"You, why do you want me to sacrifice myself for everyone's sake?"

The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea are as calm as water at any time, and the sound finally has a trace of ups and downs.

She remembered the incident when she was a child, the smile he had on when he had called out to her to eat ramen with her a few days ago, and the interaction he had with his sister in the kitchen this morning.

Why can he forget all about the past?

Why could he forget about his previous promises?

Why can he do something he likes enough and then throw it all away?

However, when she looked at Kamihara's face, she lowered her voice again.

"Okay, Kamihara, you can see me as a selfish, or you can see me as a villain, and it's better to do this....

。 But please don't give me a care, I don't need even a little, I don't need ...... at all."

Tianhai Qimingyue's gaze finally fell on a lily pendant hanging from his chest. Then, the girl turned her gaze away and turned her back to him.

"Liar."

She turned and left.

"Qimingyue, wait a minute...."

Kamihara Le wanted to hold her, but Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't seem to want to listen to him, broke free from his hand holding his wrist, and walked alone under the bustling street, and the thin figure quickly disappeared into the crowd.

......

"What's wrong?"

Tianhai Jiu Liuli saw the situation at the door of the store, and when she walked out of the store and found that her sister was not with her brother, she asked, "Did Qi Mingyue go to the toilet?" ”

"I seem... Said something very excessive. Kamihara smiled bitterly.

"What did my brother say?" Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced in the direction where Qi Mingyue left.

"Ugh..."

Kamihara couldn't help but sigh... Thinking about it carefully, her words were really too good, and she gave up liking her feelings for the sake of everyone's relationship... The more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

Until now, he was embarrassed to say it again to Jiu Liuli.

It's her birthday... I should have made her happy.

After listening to Kamihara's explanation, Tianhai Jiu Liuli was silent for a while, and then said, "Brother shouldn't have said that on purpose, right?" ”

"I was... I just wanted her to treat me more as a brother, and that sentence blurted out subconsciously. ”

Compared with him, Tianhai Jiuliuli knows more about the two of them when they were young.

She didn't know too much about it, but she knew that July had been talking about someone all along.

And said that there was an agreement or something......

But my brother didn't know why, and seemed to have forgotten all these things.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli has one thing that is particularly impressive, that is, a year after returning to Tokyo from a tour, her sister, who has always disliked talking to other people, was suddenly absent for a while, and her father left his job and looked for her for a long time.

Dad said that Nanachizuki took his money, and I don't know why, I ran from Tokyo to Ehime Prefecture in Shikoku alone with a book, but I stayed for less than a day and took the train back from Ehime Prefecture alone......

When she got home, she just explained, "I'm gone..."

Now that I think about it, July must have run to find my brother.

......

"My brother lived in Ehime Prefecture when he was a child, right? Does my brother remember when he was a child? ”

"As a child? Why did you suddenly ask this," Kamihara frowned, trying to search for past memories, but Momo Lake, except for Ah Ling who was always scolded by his father before, couldn't remember anything, "It's just that I live in Ehime Prefecture." The top priority is to find Qi Mingyue, I guess she won't answer the phone call with her. ”

"Nothing... But my brother can go to a place where there is no one and there is an open place, and Qi Mingyue likes to stay in these places if he is unhappy. ”

"Really? Okay, I'll go to her first, you and Ah Ling explain the situation, we'll be back soon, you can go to the coffee shop and sit down first. ”

"Hmm."

Tianhai Jiu Ruri watched Kamihara Raku trot towards the bottom of the street, until his figure disappeared completely, and then raised his right hand that he had held with him in the morning, and watched quietly......

——————

Tianhai Qi Mingyue sat on a dead tree with moss, quietly looking at the stream in front of her, there was no tree where she was sitting, but the opposite side of the stream was indeed full of maple leaves, and the mountain crest was red with these maple trees swaying in the wind.

A person sat directly beside her.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue knew who it was and didn't go to see him.

"Here, the kebab I just bought."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue shifted his gaze downward: "Brother relies on this to apologize?" ”

Kamihara could hear the indifference in her voice, but he still smiled and said to her: "Apologize also has to have a beginning, using a string of barbecue to start the topic, it's very profitable, isn't it?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue glanced at him, and casually took the kebab handed to him.

"Knowing that you like Qingtang, I also asked the stall owner to deliberately get less seasoning."

"......" Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't speak, just pinched the skewer held in toilet paper, handed the skewer to his mouth, and gently bit the meat above.

"Does it taste okay?"

"General."

"Also, it's definitely not as delicious as my baking... By the way, there may be barbecue equipment that can be rented on the mountain later, what if we have a barbecue? ”

"Brother really thought of a play."

"I'm a person... Sometimes it just suddenly gets a hot head...... Well, you're not angry about what happened just now, are you? ”

"Angry."

"But why don't I feel like you're angry at all?"

"It's the same as when someone is angry, just trying to come out and be quiet."

Well, Kamihara knew she was talking about herself.

"I'm sorry, Qi Mingyue, I shouldn't have said that sentence just now."

While eating the skewers, Tianhai Qi Mingyue looked at him sideways: "Can I also refuse your apology like someone." ”

“... It's your choice, but I'm going to try to get your forgiveness, and it's true that I didn't do it right. ”

"So brother and sister are very similar, no wonder you like each other."

"Seven Bright Moons, you... Jealous? Because of the morning thing? Kamihara Le heard some clues from her words, as for why it wasn't from the expression or tone, it could only be said that July was a "pseudo-three-nothing", and her voice and face almost didn't fluctuate throughout the whole process.

"If I say I'm jealous, can you lend me my shoulder?"

“...... In what capacity? ”

"Everything."

"But in this case, I always feel that some purpose is not pure."

"Could it be that my answer is that as a righteous sister, the purpose in my brother's heart is very simple?"

Well, Qi Mingyue is right.

The topic was interrupted at this point, and Kamihara Le quietly ate the skewers in his hand, silently watching the maple and cedar trees that climbed Mt. Takao with the ridges, thinking about how he should persuade Qi Mingyue to forgive himself while letting go of his good feelings for himself.

But it's not realistic to let go of good feelings.

She's her own sister-in-law, and she should be good to her...

The autumn wind swept in, interrupting Kamihara's thoughts, and the sound of rustling leaves blowing in the mountains was heard, and countless red leaves were blown from the side of the wooden bridge with the wind, so beautiful that many tourists on the bridge stopped to take pictures.

Kamihara Le's eyes reflected the leaves flying over the stream, and he was going to use this topic to ask Qi Mingyue if there were any verses that could connect to the current scenery, but when he glanced at the sky and sea Qi Mingyue, he found that she was looking blankly at the leaves flying in the sky.

"You... What's wrong? ”

The seven bright moons of the sky and sea raised their heads, the two strands of flaxen hair on both sides of her face were blown up by the wind from back to front, and her sky-blue eyes reflected the sky and the flying maple leaves. She has no expression, but it is precisely because of her lack of expression that everything in front of her seems to be reflected on her beautiful face.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly feel that some things that are particularly important to me are just casual words to others. Brother, have you ever thought about the end of these maple leaves. ”

"Maple Leaf? Either it floats away with the river, or it falls to the ground, layer by layer, and then disappears... Qimingyue, you seem to be a little wrong? ”

"It's nothing, I just remembered the symbolism of the maple leaf."

"What is the symbolism of the maple leaf?"

"It symbolizes memory, as well as the remembrance of the past, and also represents loneliness, loneliness, emptiness, and depression...... Autumn leaves always make people feel sad, don't they? Brother, in fact, when I see my sister and you, I always think of my childhood when I had nothing but my sister... And now, sooner or later, my sister will regard my brother as more important than me. ”

If the object is Jiu Liuli, Shen Yuan Le can still hold her hand and comfort her I still care about you.

But once the object was changed to Qimingyue, Kamihara only felt as if she had taken away the most important sister in her life.

"Does my brother know? When I was a child, I basically couldn't leave home with my sister, and I didn't have my mother to ask me to practice the piano and practice etiquette every day... Dad was forced to work and didn't ask us much...

"A lot of times my sister and I envy everyone to spend time outside, to be able to hold hands and hang out together, and to see their shadows in the parent's seat at the opening ceremony...... It's not just my mother who made mistakes again and again, continued to practice in disappointment one after another, and she hurriedly dropped two pieces of supermarket bread for work...... My sister and I grew up in that empty villa where there was nothing. ”

Looking at the blankness of Tianhai Qi Mingyue without any feelings, Shen Yuan Le thought to himself, no wonder his uncle sighed this morning and said that he was ashamed of his two daughters before.

The divorce of an uncle and aunt.

There must be a part of the concept of children's upbringing that is not in line with it.

Mom is purely using them, and uncle doesn't know what fatherly love is.

In fact, the seven bright moons of Tianhai and the nine glazes of Tianhai are essentially the same.

It's just that Jiu Liuli will disguise herself with gentleness, and Qi Mingyue will keep everything in her heart.

After Tianhai Qi Mingyue said this, she was also laughing at herself in her heart.

Obviously, he had decided to do things before, but when he really saw his sister and him, he still couldn't help but want to escape.

Don't see what you don't want to see.

Tianhai Qimingyue silently turned his head and looked at the long-silent Shenyuan Le:

"Why did you come to me?"

"I'm worried about you, and I can't help but care about you." Kamihara answered truthfully.

"That's a bad guy." Tianhai Qimingyue lowered her eyes, "Didn't you say that you shouldn't care about me even a little." ”

"Alas," Kamihara sighed, "you know I can't do it, and it's your birthday, so I've upset you again, apologize... It's also the bare minimum thing. ”

"You really want to apologize?"

"Of course... And I've got a gift for you... I didn't think about it well. ”

"The Point Guard Is Here"

"Sure enough, he was a scumbag, and he forgot about his sister in a blink of an eye. What is a gift? ”

"I can't say yet."

"Alright, put your hands up."

"Huh? What are you doing with your hands. ”

"Lift up." The Seven Bright Moons of the Sky Sea seemed to be commanding.

"You don't want to hug me, do you?"

"Hug you? Think beautifully. ”

Seeing him raise his arm, Tianhai Qi Mingyue directly reached out to pinch his waist.

Kamihara's expression suddenly became distorted.

Originally... It's this trick.

"It hurts?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue stretched out her hand and stared at him.

"It hurts, of course it hurts."

"By the way, I like the seven bright moons of the sky and the sea."

"No... Si ~ I, like the seven bright moons of the sky and the sea. ”

"Think I can't see your tricks? To put it bluntly, it's the kind of like. ”

"Please... What else could it be... Don't don't, don't do it, it's good for you to change the way, the flesh on your waist really hurts. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue withdrew her hand and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, it doesn't matter." ”

Shen Yuan Le rubbed his waist in pain, why does this Qi Mingyue keep twisting the meat on his waist, this time it hurts more than before.

"Are you done angry?"

"No, it's not, I just think most men like the new and hate the old."

"Huh? No, I-"

Shenhara Le saw her stretch out her hand again, her eyes were quick, and she hurriedly protected her waist.

But before he could get complacent, he suddenly found that the seven bright moons of the sky and the sea suddenly approached his head.

Give the dummy?!

Kamihara instantly realized her purpose, but it was too late, and the girl tilted her head sideways and blocked her mouth.

Her hand rested on her shoulder, and in an instant, she bit her upper lip.

Shen Yuan Le immediately felt a little sweet, but where is this something that can be enjoyed, he hurriedly pushed the seven bright moons of the Tianhai Sea away.

"You... Kiss me again? ”

Kamihara covered his mouth, it was very embarrassing to say this, he was a big man, but he was actually two years younger than himself... Ah no, the girl who should be a little less than a year old has kissed twice today.

Not only is the first kiss gone, but even the second time... It's gone!

Blood deficit.

"Don't you want to apologize? For me, this is an apology. ”

It stands to reason that this kind of thing should be angry, but I don't know why, but in the face of Tianhai Qimingyue, he can't be angry at all.

"Don't do it next time, okay?" He sighed.

"That's not good, next time I'll kiss you directly in front of my sister."

“？！”

What kind of plot is this?!

"Don't you think it's interesting?"

"What's interesting... Only awkwardness is good or not. ”

"Then what does it feel like for you to kiss me, be truthful, reply, and answer."

"It's soft, isn't it... It's not ......."

Shen Haraku said this, and he didn't believe it.

What kind of beautiful girl is Qi Mingyue?

Let's put it this way, the kind that will never take her eyes off at a glance, her hair can be reminiscent of spring cherry blossoms, her face can be reminiscent of summer lotuses, and even the juanxiu font written by her hands seems to have a surging fragrance.

Kissing a girl like her is definitely something that many people can't envy in their lifetime.

"You're leaning on it, aren't you?"

"Lenovo what... Don't talk nonsense. ”

"Do you think it's nice to kiss a beautiful girl like me?"

“......”

Kamihara Le admitted that in the face of Qi Mingyue, he really didn't have a trick with her.

If you treat her toughly, you may still fall into her arms.

"It doesn't matter if you treat me as a sister, you don't dare to kiss your sister now, how about it, do you want to learn from me first? I'll let you kiss enough. ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue resumed the sitting posture of the eldest lady of the deep boudoir on the side, with long flaxen-colored hair and the maple trees of Mt. Takao reflected behind her, making her look both bewitching and tranquil.

There wasn't anyone here, and it was just the two of them.

If......

No, what the hell was going on.

Kamihara Raku held his head with one hand, and for some reason, things had inexplicably developed to this point.

"Forget it, you can go back with me now, right?"

"Ah, it can be, after all, I received an apology, but you didn't kiss?"

This aunt is definitely teasing herself!

Go, you have to hurry.

Shen Yuan Le was a little panicked, afraid that when the time came, Jiu Liuli and Ah Ling suddenly appeared in the corner, looking at himself angrily, then he was really finished.

Stepping on two boats, you must not be misunderstood to death by Ah Ling.

But unfortunately, when Kamihara Le took Qi Mingyue to find Jiu Liuli, her eyes kept staring at her face.

"What's wrong?" Kamihara asked.

"Brother... You have lipstick on your mouth......"

“......”

Kamihara Le wiped the back of his hand, and sure enough, there was a little ......

Fortunately, Ah Ling ran to buy whirlwind potatoes next to him.

"Brother?"

“...... I said it was a misunderstanding, do you believe it? ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli glanced at the seven bright moons of Tianhai, and then nodded firmly:

"Believe."
