Kyudo Department.

After everyone finishes training, Tianhai Jiuliuli will often pack up the utensils used by everyone, and the last one will go home.

However, today, a few members of the department said that they would stay in the club to train until eight o'clock in the evening, and Tianhai Jiuliuli handed them the key to the club.

She herself has a lot of things missing, and seeing that the people in the club don't need her guidance for the time being, she has no heart to stay in the club.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Minister."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Saying goodbye to everyone in the community, Tianhai Jiuliuli handbag went out of the club.

"I don't know if my brother went home first."

Thinking so, Tianhai Jiu Ruri took out his mobile phone from the skirt pocket of the pleated skirt and found the contact information of the Kamihara Le Line.

After a moment's hesitation, she typed and asked:

[Is my brother still in school?] ]

I sent the message out like this, and I got a quick reply.

[at school]

Is my brother still in school?

Tianhai Jiuliuli typed in the chat box with some anticipation:

[That's great, do you want to go home together?] We were also able to drop by and buy some ingredients for cooking in the evening]

[Of course, you can come to the music department classroom, and I'll practice in the piano room here]

Music department, piano room?

Tianhai Jiuliuli locked his gaze on the phone screen for a while, puzzled by this.

But she quickly figured it out.

My brother quit two clubs before, probably because of this, the attendance rate this semester is not enough... That's why he found another club to continue to maintain attendance.

I didn't expect to choose the music department, and I still studied piano.

I should be able to help my brother on the piano?

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought of these things in his heart, and thought of the hug this morning, and suddenly felt a lot happier.

but

Just as she was about to put her phone down, another message popped up in the email.

[Come to the school gate, she's waiting for you outside]

This is not a reply from Kamihara, but a message from my mother... To be precise, it was news from my mother's assistant.

"Mom."

Tianhai Jiuliuli knew that it was her mother who wanted to talk to her again.

Chopin International Piano ...... every five years Even with Dad's obstruction and warning, Mom is determined to succeed in this.

Do you want to go over...?

She hesitated to put her phone back in her skirt pocket, and even the shoulder bag she lifted again seemed to be much heavier......

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked in the direction of the school gate, and the white limousine seemed to be waiting for him outside.

She's hesitating, hesitating...

He even closed his eyes and recalled the previous scene.

In a few moments, she reopened her azure eyes and made a choice.

I still have to face my mother once.

Make it clear to her what you want.

Looking at the lily of the valley bracelet on her wrist, the belief in Tianhai Jiuliuli's heart seemed to be a lot firmer, and then, she put on her shoulder bag and walked to the school gate.

Below is Sakado, and two rows of ginkgo trees. Tianhai Jiuliuli stopped in front of the white limousine.

The female assistant in a suit and black glasses nodded to her and then opened the door.

The cabin is large, with luxurious interiors that are not found in ordinary cars, and seats for wine glasses and bottles, and when opened, the smell of roses wafts into the face.

Tianhai Jiuliuli saw her mother sitting inside, she shook the red wine slightly with her hand, calmly, and full of temperament.

After Tianhai Jiuliuli sat inside, the female assistant closed the door later.

There were only two people left in the carriage.

"Did Ruri do what I said?"

"Mom means quitting the club?"

Bertha Hekoya frowned, and stopped the movement of her hand, feeling a little strange about her daughter's expression now, "It seems."

You didn't go back. ”

"Well, there is no retreat."

"Do you remember the five-year race in the near future?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you return it?"

"I—I don't think I should retreat."

After Tianhai Jiuliuli replied in a weak voice, Bertha Hekja put down the red wine glass in his hand.

She faintly noticed some changes in her daughter.

"You don't think you should quit the club?"

"Hmm......" Tianhai Jiu Liuli lowered his head in front of his mother.

Bertha Hekja looked at such a daughter, and the corners of her mouth did not appear to be a smile as before, "Why? ”

"I don't think we should quit the club."

Bertha Hekya suddenly held her forehead very nerve-wrenching, "Ruri, are you even disobedient?" ”

“......”

"Ruri," said Bertha Hekja with her eyes closed, "have you forgotten how you promised me before?" Said to follow my mother, and then stand on the top of classical music together... Until now, you have broken the agreement between us? ”

"It's not that I don't go, but I think the community can do it—"

"Okay, Ruri, I'm not in the mood to hear you say this now, you now, go and retire the club you are joining now, and keep practicing for 10 hours a day as before...... It's a five-year Chopin piano competition, and do you know how many people who have been working for decades will be on the stage? You're not facing opponents of your age at all, but guys who have been famous for years and are also called geniuses. ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli said this to his mother, undeniable: "But I don't think I should put everything on the piano, I... And a life of its own. ”

"Your own life?" Bertha Hekja propped her head and looked sideways at her daughter, "Ruri, tell me, what do you have left besides the piano?" The likes you get in the crowd by relying on your disguised appearance? Or is it because of your appearance that you win the hearts of those men? ”

Tianhai Jiu Liuli instantly pursed her lips under her mother's words, she subconsciously wanted to grab something with her hand, and in a strong uneasiness, she reached out and grabbed the bracelet on her wrist.

"Ruri, you are very smart, you know that those who like you are not really like you at all, they only care about your appearance, they only care about your appearance, they care about your feigned gentleness towards them, no one cares what you really look like, and no one cares what kind of person you are... Will they need you? No, they just get what they want from you, and they don't care about your own existence. ”

Bertha Hekja took her daughter's hand and placed her hand in the palm of her hand.

"Listen to my mother's words, go and quit the club, and take the initiative to put the time in school classes to practice the piano, as long as you ask for it, Maodian will not ask anything at all...... After that, I can take you to the place you want to go, the playground or the trip, haven't you always liked to eat baked potatoes before? I can also spare time to go with you. ”

“......”

Tianhai Jiuliuli was silent for a long time and did not speak.

Her mother's words made her heart ferment in discomfort, entanglement, and depression.

Bertha Hekja waited patiently for her daughter's answer.

"Mom... I'm a bit of a mess right now, can I... Let me think about it again. Tianhai Jiu Liuli replied in a faint voice, and tightened the lily of the valley bracelet on his wrist even more.

"Think about it? Well, that's fine, two days is enough, I'll ask you in two days. ”

"Hmmm......"

......

After getting out of the car, watching his mother's car drive away from the ginkgo tree at the school gate, Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered his eyebrows again.

Not liked... Nobody cares... No one will really care......

These words seemed to linger in my heart and could not be dissipated for a long time.

Obviously, she had already made the decision to reject her mother, but her mother still hesitated... did not veto his mother's proposal in one fell swoop......

She didn't know why it was happening, but

When her mother said those words, she subconsciously wanted to retreat, wanting to find something to rely on and affirm.

She couldn't accept those cold and alienating words, and she couldn't find a suitable person to support her before, so she couldn't do anything but close this uncomfortable feeling in her heart.

But now, if... If it's him, he'll definitely support him, right?

Tianhai Jiuliuli thought of this, and a strong desire suddenly appeared in his heart, and he suddenly wanted to talk to him.

She glanced at the ginkgo tree where the car had disappeared and turned back to the school.

With the desire to be able to find his brother to speak soon, Tianhai Jiu Ruri came to the music department classroom that Kamihara Raku said.

Listening to the sound of the saxophone blowing, Tianhai Jiu Liuli glanced through the glass to the classroom of the music club.

Didn't see my brother.

While thinking this, a girl came out of it with a saxophone in her hand.

"Tianhai... Seven Mingyue? ”

The disadvantage of twins plus sisters, most people can only call them by their full names when they call them.

Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head and replied, "No, I am Tianhai Jiuliuli." ”

Minister Zuo Zhizi immediately looked surprised, and then felt bent down to apologize: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally admitted you wrong." ”

Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't care at all, but it seemed to be the influence of her mother just now, and her voice became much weaker when she replied: "It's okay, it's a common thing."

"So, may I ask what is the matter with Tianhai Jiuliuli?" Minister Zuo Zhizi wanted her to answer that she was coming to prepare for the pianist of the music department.

Unfortunately, this is not the case.

"I'm looking for someone who says he's in the piano practice room."

Zuo Zhizi probably knew who it was.

"Practice room? Ah, the practice room is upstairs. ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

"It's okay, little things. Amami-san is here to find Kamihara-san, right? ”

"Hmm."

"That's no problem, he's been practicing on it lately."

"Lately?" Tianhai Jiuliuli was puzzled, "He...... Been a member for a while? ”

"No, it's the club that I only joined recently."

Recently joined...

If that's the case, my brother chose the piano again... There should be difficulties during the study period.

But why......

He didn't come to him?

With doubts, Tianhai Jiuliuli came to the third floor, and after stepping out of the corner of the stairs for less than two steps, she heard the sound of the piano.

It's Chopin's waltz.

Such a light tune, she knew it was this tune as soon as she heard it.

She came to the door of the piano practice room, and through the hole in the door that she could look into, she noticed the two people inside.

Tianhai Jiuliuli was stunned.

Because inside, a flaxen-colored girl is teaching the piano of Kamiharaku.

Qi Mingyue is teaching her brother piano?

Why is Qi Mingyue teaching her brother piano?

Chopin is an eighth-grade piano piece, and it takes quite a while to reach this level at a level where Kamihara has never studied piano.

Obviously, the two have been practicing with each other for a while.

But Qi Mingyue had never said this to herself.

It's the same with my brother.

"Why doesn't my brother learn piano and don't look for me?"

Tianhai Jiu Liuli looked at the two people in the classroom in a low murmur.

Knowing that Qi Mingyue and her brother are also brothers and sisters, they have no contact with each other.

But as soon as he saw that the person who looked exactly the same as himself overlapped with the person he liked, Tianhai Jiuliuli felt as if something had been taken away.

It's weird.

What my mother said just now resurfaced in my mind, sentence after sentence, deepening the scars in Tianhai Jiuliuli's heart.

When I think that even the only one person I can rely on and who I like will disappear with me.

The scars grew bigger and bigger.

———————

"Hmm... How about that for today's piano? ”

"Don't want to practice anymore?"

"Alas, I'm tired, I'm tired, and Jiu Liuli sent me a message just now, saying that I want to go home together."

Hearing this, Tianhai Qi Mingyue put down the book in her hand, "How did you reply to my sister?" ”

"I'll let her come here, you're here anyway, just go home together."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue frowned: "You asked my sister to come here?" ”

"yes, what's wrong."

“...... Forget it," Tianhai Qimingyue's eyes flickered, "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two of us didn't tell my sister about learning piano together." But you practice the piano every day, and you hug your sister again, you should say, right? ”

“......”

Don't slander me! Where there is a cuddle cuddle.

"You didn't say that?"

"Nope." Kamihara was a little puzzled.

Tianhai Qi Mingyue saw his doubts, and sighed lightly: "What does my brother think my sister will think when she finds out that we are practicing the piano together?" ”

Kamihara thought about it: "Probably why didn't you call her for help?" It's nothing, just explain it a little. ”

Even my sister will be jealous and jealous.

The Seven Bright Moons of the Heavenly Sea are quite clear.

"So you don't understand women's minds."

Kamihara wanted to explain, but soon found the Nine Glass of the Heavenly Sea standing at the door.

"Hey, hey... Nine glasses have already arrived. ”

"Well, I saw that. You go out, and if you want to explain something, go and explain it to your sister. ”

“... What does it mean to explain clearly? It was as if something had happened between us. ”

"It's not impossible for you to want anything to happen, and now my sister is watching, it's the best time." Tianhai Qimingyue's little face did not have the slightest emotion at once, which made her very serious.

“......”

Get! You're an aunt and grandmother, I don't care about you!

Kamihara got up and walked out, and came to the front of Tianhai Jiu Liuli.

The girl's long flaxen hair falls off her shoulders. The appearance exactly the same as Qi Mingyue made Shen Yuanle feel particularly wonderful at this time, as if he had seen another person, but it didn't seem to be.

She clearly had something to say to herself.

"Brother."

"Well," Shen Yuan Le replied and remembered what Qi Mingyue said to himself just now, so he took the initiative to explain, "Jiu Liuli, don't get me wrong, in the matter of the piano, I didn't say that I deliberately didn't look for you... But some time ago, you know, our relationship is not very good, so I had to ask Qi Mingyue for help......"

Originally... That's it...

My brother didn't mean to hide from himself.

"I see."

Tianhai Jiu Liuli then raised his eyes, "But what I want to say to my brother is not about this matter, didn't my brother say in the morning that he seems to know the shark doll?" ”

Tianhai Qi Mingyue, who was sitting in the piano classroom, heard this and immediately reacted.

What does my sister want to do?

Kamihara Le nodded to Jiu Liuli: "Well, what's wrong?" ”

"I... I figured out a lot of things, but the most was the mistake I made to my brother...... I don't want to hide anything from you anymore, so I want to take the initiative to answer the questions in the morning....... Brother, you're right, you've seen some familiar images a long time ago. ”

When Tianhai Jiuliuli said these words, his heart struggled and suffered.

She knew that saying this might make her brother even more distant from her, and maybe it would make her brother feel guilty about Qi Mingyue.

But instead of staying away, she hopes that she will no longer hide anything from her brother.

She didn't want to cheat on her brother anymore.

Even if it's only once.

Therefore, Tianhai Jiuliuli's gaze was firm.

"I... Have you seen it? ”

Kamihara frowned slightly, trying to remember something.

"Where is my brother's hometown?" Tianhai Jiuliuli asked.

"Matsuyama City, Shikoku Ehime Prefecture."

Tianhai Jiuliuli continued: "Twelve years ago, when Qi Mingyue and I were about to turn four years old, in order to let us relax, my mother took me and Qi Mingyue on a trip. ”

Kamihara: "You mean—"

"That's right, our destination also happened to be Shikoku, Ehime Prefecture, Matsuyama City, and we met your brother when I was a child in a small village near the sea."

Tianhai Qi Mingyue closed her eyes in the piano classroom, and put her hands on the book that was folded above her legs.

Tianhai Jiu Liuli folded her hands in front of her, and her azure eyes reflected the appearance of Kamihara Le, as well as the feelings in her heart.

"We knew each other with my brother when we were young."
