The New Year's holiday is over.

When the time came to Monday, January 5th, the working day.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa returned to work.

Emotion, Love, Beautiful Girl...... Either way, these things are not the whole of life.

After a long absence, he got up early, ate breakfast on time, and took an umbrella to Tetsufumi Hirakawa and went out of the house.

It's raining in Tokyo today, and it's drizzling.

Looking up, the rain clouds were evenly smeared on the sky, and the outline of the clouds could not be seen, and the sky was like a gray-white display, bright with a dull light.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa closed the door, opened his umbrella, and stepped into rainy Tokyo.

The slightly humid air penetrates into the nose, and it carries the chill of winter, which makes people feel refreshed.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't like rainy days very much, but if it's just a drizzle, it's not a nuisance.

Holding an umbrella, he walked on the ground that gradually became wet from gray to black, and walked towards the tram platform.

When I arrived at the station, my hand holding the handle of the umbrella was slightly moistened by the drizzle, and I was exposed to the cold air, and I was frozen a little stiff.

Well, Tetsufumi Hirakawa changed his mind.

If it's summer, the drizzle is really not too annoying, and if it is like winter now, the cold and wet weather is really unpleasant.

Walk into the station, put away the umbrella, and hand the umbrella to the other hand.

"It's cold."

As he was about to continue walking, he heard a whisper of grumbling from beside him.

Well, he's not alone.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa moved his stiff hand and glanced to the side.

A girl, petite, holding an umbrella in one hand and putting one hand to her mouth, her mouth slightly open, exhaling white and misty heat.

This action lasted for about two or three seconds, and then, as if sensing the gaze of the "stranger", he maintained this position quite vigilantly and looked to the side.

“……”

“……”

Tightly only paused slightly, and the two who looked at each other spoke out in some surprise.

"Hirakawa-sensei?"

"Miss Ogasa?"

……

Unexpectedly, I met Ogasa Saeko on the train platform.,Next,Naturally, we went to the manga studio together.。

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence." Tetsufumi Hirakawa casually greeted.

"yes." Ogasa Aiko walked alongside him and smiled politely, "I'll meet Hirakawa-sensei." ”

"But, if I'm not mistaken, it looks like Miss Ogasa's house is also nearby, right?"

"Yes, it's nearby."

Before, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Ogasa Aiko met at the supermarket.

"But this is the first time I've met Miss Ogasa here."

"Previous job, I'm not here to get in the car."

"That's right."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa is completely different from people who leave work on time, and Ogasa can be said to be a workaholic, and when it's time to get off work, she definitely has to stay in the studio for a while before leaving.

Therefore, even though the stations where they get on and off the train are exactly the same, Tetsufumi Hirakawa and Aiko Ogasa have never had the experience of returning home from work together.

If you go to work together, today is the first time by coincidence.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa walked to the tram platform with Aiko Ogasa and waited for the train to arrive.

"By the way, how was Mr. Hirakawa's vacation?"

Then suddenly, the female colleague next to me asked the necessary questions after the holiday.

“……”

Tetsufumi Hiragawa's expression was slightly subtle.

How so...... This holiday can't be said to be perfect, only to be said to be a mess.

"Ah...... This, it should, it's okay - how is Miss Ogasa? ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly pulled the topic away.

I don't know if Ogasa Saeko noticed that something was wrong with him, but looking at the look of some doubts, he probably found it. But, perhaps because of just the social connections of her colleagues, she didn't ask much.

"Me?" Ogasa Aiko thought for a moment, "If I say so, I'll always be at home during the holidays, with my sister." ”

"Ogasa-sensei."

"Yes." The topic mentioned Ogasa Suzukiko, and Ogasa Sayako, as a sister, began to have some uncontrollable emotions, "When it comes to holidays, my sister likes to stay at home and doesn't like to go out." We only went to Sensoji Temple together on New Year's Day, and we haven't touched it at all since then. ”

"That's right." Tetsufumi Hirakawa echoed the audience.

"Moreover, I always lazily hide under the quilt, and under the stove table, saying that people will hibernate when winter comes."

"If I leave my sister to go out alone, she will really hibernate at home, which is troublesome."

Although he says something like "bothersome", he can't hear the distress at all when he listens to the tone, but he can say that he is happy, and his expression can be seen.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa glanced at the corners of Ogasasa's mouth.

The aura of sister control is already so strong that it overflows.

Ogasa continued to speak with interest.

"I have no choice but to stay at home with my sister, peeling oranges and feeding her while working."

“…… Huh? Is Miss Ogasa still working during the holidays? Tetsufumi Hirakawa captures the point, should he be a workaholic?

It's a New Year's holiday.

However, it seems that the attributes of workaholism are still slightly inferior to those of sister control.

"I can't leave work even if it's a holiday." That's all she said about work.,And then back to her sister Ogasa Suzukiko.。

"Mr. Hirakawa didn't know that the way my sister was hiding under the stove table, with her face upturned and her mouth open, waiting to throw food in, was really cute."

"Can you imagine it?"

Tetsufumi Hirakawa looked at Ogasa and imagined the image of Ogasa lying under the stove table with her mouth open waiting to be fed - twins anyway, they all looked the same.

"As you can imagine, it's cute." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded.

Whether it's Ogasa Sakiko or Ogasa Suzukiko, her body shape and appearance are really cute, and even if you work, you can't get rid of that cute atmosphere.

Needless to say, sister Ogasa Suzukiko, her natural character can only be said to match her appearance.

Sister Ogasa Akiko,Even if it's a workaholic.,There's always a capable image at ordinary times.,But,When trying to stand on tiptoe to get the documents on the upper level of the cabinet.,After all, I can't cover this cute temperament that probably can't get rid of.。

"Really?" Maybe it's recalling the picture of Ogasa Suzukiko waiting to be fed, the corners of Ogasa Saiko's mouth are very excited, and there seems to be a light in her eyes, and she is about to dispel the rainy day.

It is worthy of being a sister control, Tetsufumi Hirakawa sighed with emotion and continued to respond.

"yes."

"So I can't help but feed my sister."

"And ......"

While waiting for the train to arrive, Tetsufumi Hirakawa listened to Ogasa Aiko keep chatting about how cute her sister Suzukiko was.

In other words, in the world of twins, what does it feel like to look at someone who looks exactly like you?

Ogasa Aiko was able to praise a person like her like this, this is indirectly praising herself, right?

While thinking about this wonderful question, the train finally arrived, and in the midst of the sound of driving, Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped Ogasa Saiko's increasingly excited narration, as if she couldn't stop.

"Alright, Miss Ogasa, it's time to go."

It's only then that Ogasa notices the train coming in - and sure enough, she is fully engaged in her sister.

Sister control is really terrible.

"-oh."

Ogasa Aiko answered, stood behind Tetsufumi Hirakawa, and began to line up to get on the bus.

Walking to the carriage step by step, in his free time, Tetsufumi Hirakawa began to talk again.

"By the way, speaking of Ogasa-sensei, I haven't seen her for a long time." - Although there is always a common delusion, Ogasa Sayako is not Ogasa Suzukiko after all.

"Really?" Ogasa Aiko behind her replied with doubts, and then affirmed, "It's been a long time, and Mr. Hirakawa hasn't been back to Moriya since he left his job, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, my sister was still telling me a few days ago that after Mr. Hirakawa left, she was still a little unaccustomed to managing the wind club alone. ”

“……”

At the beginning, Tetsufumi Hirakawa didn't manage the wind club at all, and then he began to meddle in the wind club under the supervision of Miss Shinohara, and his departure actually only made the wind club return to its former state, right?

It should be said that it is better, after all, after more than half a year of rectification, the wind club that won the national silver medal is at least better than before in terms of discipline.

So, it's really still "easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it's difficult to go from luxury to thrift", right?

Originally, she only had to care about the playing, and let him handle everything else, but now that these chores are back to her, Ogasa Suzuki, who has a natural personality, is probably not very good at these.

"That's ...... It can't be helped. Tetsufumi Hirakawa replied with some kind of emotion, and got on the train, "Is Ogasa-sensei's work still going well?" ”

Ogasasa followed him and got on the train as well.

Then, just as Tetsufumi Hirakawa was looking for a place to stand more comfortably in the gap of the crowd—for example, against the wall of the carriage, and in the corner—he suddenly heard Ogasa say coldly from behind him:

"Mr. Hirakawa, you don't have any thoughts about my sister, do you?"

“……”

“……”

"Huh?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa stopped, turned his head in surprise, and replied.

Ogasasa's head hit him in the back and bounced off, but she didn't care, she just turned her face up, looking like a schoolboy who said, "There is only one truth".

"Mr. Hirakawa seems to care too much about his sister." She gave the reason.

“…… Not at all, right? Tetsufumi Hirakawa defended himself and continued.

"Well, excuse me." An unfamiliar voice said.

“…… Yes, sorry. Tetsufumi Hirakawa hurriedly walked inside a little bit more embarrassed, and then continued to say to Ogasa Saiko, "Miss Ogasa, I just asked casually, after all, we used to work together, this ...... It shouldn't be up to the standard of being overly concerned, right? And this topic was brought up by Miss Ogasa on her own initiative. ”

Ogasasa's wary look still didn't go away.

"It's true that I mentioned my sister's matter, but if Mr. Hirakawa cares too much about his sister, it's suspicious."

“……”

Sister control is terrible.

Tetsufumi Hirakawa doesn't know how many times I've felt like this.

And just when Tetsufumi Hirakawa was speechless and silently sighed in his heart, Ogasa Aiko added: "After all, my sister is very cute, no matter how you think about it, the possibility that Mr. Hirakawa has thoughts about her sister is not zero." ”

If it's not zero, will it be suspected? Sure enough, the sister's control attribute is really terrible, and Sayiko, who is usually very capable, looks a little irrational when facing her sister's problem.

- Insert a sentence, compared to one, there are still many zeros in this world, right?

“……”

Suddenly there was a strange complaint, and Tetsufumi Hirakawa quickly got rid of it.

He explained, "Ogasa-san, I already have a girlfriend, so I don't have to worry about this kind of thing at all. ”

"Huh?" Ogasa Aiko was a little surprised, "Does Hirakawa-sensei already have a girlfriend?" ”

"Yes." Tetsufumi Hirakawa nodded repeatedly.

Looking at Tetsufumi Hirakawa with an affirmative face, after a while, Ogasa Aiko calmed down and dispelled her doubts about him.

"That's good, that's good. I'm sorry, but it's Hiragawa sensei. She said apologetically.

“…… No, it's fine. Miss Ogasa is worried about her sister...... It's normal, right? ”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa shook his head and said something against his will.

Totally abnormal, worrying too much.

Finally, again, sister control is terrible.

As a result, Ogasa Aiko quickly responded: "Yes, after all, my sister is too simple, if she is deceived, it won't work - oh, I'm not saying that Hirakawa-sensei will be the kind of person who cheats feelings, it's just, it's just ......"

"Okay, okay, Ogasa-san, I got it." I was unexpectedly attacked by a sentence...... Tetsufumi Hirakawa smiled and quickly interrupted Ogasasa's explanation.

Let's quickly move the topic away from Ogasa Aiko.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ogasa, you just said that you also work when you are at home, right? How's it going? ”

"This, ah......" Talking about work, the virus called [Sister Control] finally dissipated, and Ogasa Saiko's eyes cleared again, and she regained her capable appearance, "By the way, there is good news that Hirakawa-sensei hasn't said yet." ”

"Huh? What's going on? ”

"Our studio's comics, "Spy Playing Home", have found a platform to publish serialization."

“……”

Tetsufumi Hirakawa blinked, digesting the news.

"Really?" Then, a surprised and happy inquiry sounded.

"Hmm." Ogasa Aiko also nodded in a good mood, "Of course it's true." This was just decided by Matsushita-sensei and I yesterday. ”

"Which platform is that?" Tetsufumi Hirakawa asked.

"Shonen Jump+."

Tetsufumi Hirakawa was stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong, Hirakawa-sensei?" Ogasasa caught the fluctuations in his expression.

“…… No. Tetsufumi Hirakawa came back to his senses and shook his head with a smile.

If I'm not mistaken, in the last life, "Spy Playing Home" was serialized on Shonen Jump+ and exploded, right?

What an accident.
