Chapter 5: The Past × Him
Sora rubbed his sleepy eyes, last night was supposed to be a night of studying.
But seeing that Sakura was at home, Chixia was sticking to each other.,When I was still worried about whether Horikawa-san's would be annoying.,The other party was very happy to play with Chinatsu.。 Because in this process, I have been paying attention to the interaction between the two of them, and my mind is not on studying.
After all, no matter what you say, in front of her is Sakura Horii, who is known as a fairy, and her sister Chixia, although she is still a junior high school student, is also a beautiful embryo. It's understandable that the eye is unconsciously drawn to the past. Because sometimes it's too fascinating to watch.,Sora is indispensable to the ridicule of his sister Chixia.。
.......
[Brother is watching Sister Sakura's fascination?] ]
It was as if Chinatsu, who had always felt the empty gaze, stared at each other.
Sora looked at Qianxia who was staring at him innocently, turned around and hugged Sakura directly, and buried his face in Sakura's arms, and Sakura looked away in a little panic, her cheeks red.
[Not for you, Sakura-san, mine!] Hmph~]
[I'm not interested in three-dimensional women.] ]
[Huh?] Then why do you keep staring at Sister Sakura? ]
[Just thinking, Horii-san's here to hold a book club, but won't it affect her like this?] ]
Just when Sora felt that his explanation was very reasonable.
[I thought my brother was lonely when he saw Sister Sakura ignoring you~]
[Impossible!] ]
[Wow, brother is so fierce QAQ]
Sora, who suddenly stood up, looked at Qianxia who was a little scared to look at him because his tone was too impulsive.
[Sorry, Chinatsu...] I'm sorry for the bad tone. ]
[Brother... I'm ignoring you! With that, Chinatsu ran back to her room upstairs.
Feeling that the atmosphere was a little dignified, Sakura opened her mouth.
[Sorry, I'm interrupted.] ]
[No need to apologize Horii-san, this is my problem, I'm sorry to let you see me like this.] ]
I scratched my head a little helplessly, and looked at Horii-san, who was smiling on the other side, and was a little stunned.
[It seems that even Imaizumi-san has some troubles.] ]
[Don't make fun of me, being with a girl is a heaven for me.] ]
[I can tell that Sister Chinatsu actually likes you.] ]
[Well, when she first arrived, she was scared of life.] Being overprotected by my sister, and having never had much contact with the opposite sex since she was a child, she is definitely not used to knowing that I have become a new family member. I didn't know about it at the time, I thought I was hated, and I was scared for a long time. ]
Used by Sakura [Are you stupid?] His eyes stared, and Sora scratched his head helplessly.
[I don't know what happened to you before?] But now that she is getting along with Chixia, something must have happened to her to change her outlook. ]
[Prophet of the Future?] ]
[Reasonable guess.] ]
[Then your guess is quite accurate.] Looking at Sakura, who didn't continue to answer, he continued to talk to himself.
...
As usual, while cooking at home, I looked out the window at the rain and remembered when the sisters didn't seem to have umbrellas with them when they went out, and the rain didn't end so quickly.
I heard the door open at the entrance, and it was the Chiyuki and Chixia sisters who had gone out to buy painting tools.
[Welcome back.] Well? Come on in, I'm going to put hot water]
When I turned off the stove and came to the entrance, I saw the two of them getting wet, I quickly grabbed the things in their hands, and when the other party was puzzled, I quickly ran to the bathroom to turn on the hot water.
[What are you doing in a daze?] ]
I looked at them with some confusion, as if I had reacted, and after saying thank you, Chiyuki walked into the bathroom with Chinatsu. Since I had never been in the girl's room, I went back to my room and took out two of my own bathrobes from inside. Because I don't have the habit of using a bathrobe, and it's not a habit, I just feel lazy and don't want to wear it.
[I've put the bathrobe in the basket outside, just come out and get it later, I'll go out first.] ]
I hung my folded bathrobe on a hanger next to me and said to the two in the bathroom.
[Thank you.] ]
Hearing Qianxue's words mixed with the sound of water, I hurriedly withdrew and closed the door outside.
Maybe it's because when you see the other person getting wet, your first thought is that you don't want the other person to catch a cold. Now that I was relaxed, I thought of the two people I had just seen at the entrance.
The two of them, who were all wet, looked like they ran back against the heavy rain, their clothes were all soaked, and they were clinging to the curves of their bodies.
I slapped my face with some chagrin at the emptiness that they were psychologically family, and I actually thought of such a picture, and my head hit the wall next to me, trying to rely on the pain to wake myself up.
(What the hell was I thinking?) )
In order not to let his thoughts be revealed in front of them, he got up and walked to the living room, took out the medicine in the medicine box in the living room, and then went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water.
After doing this, there was a sound of the bathroom door opening, and the sisters in my bathrobes appeared in the living room.
[Wait a minute, I've made you a cold dropper, drink a cup after you get drenched in the rain, don't catch a cold.] ]
[Hmm.] ]
Looking at Qianxia, who was still silent, and Qianxue, who responded a little coldly, Sora didn't feel bad.
[The next time you come back and it rains, find a place to hide from the rain, and send me a message, and I'll pick you up.] Then, don't be as rainy outside as you are today. ]
[Thank you for your concern, we'll pay attention next time.] ]
[...... Thank you. ]
This is the first time Sora has heard China's voice, a soft and glutinous, sweet voice like a marshmallow. Although he wears a bathrobe that is very different from his body shape, he has a cute feeling.
[Sorry, I.... I've never been to a girl's room, but I know it's not good to rummage through your closet. So I took two bathrobes from my room. ]
As if thinking of something, Sora hurriedly added.
[I haven't worn it once, and I've been leaving it there after cleaning, because it's too troublesome, so I haven't used it, it's the same as new.] ]
[I'm bothering you, but it's okay, we don't care.] ]
I don't know what to say, squeeze out such a sentence.
[.... Dinner will be waiting, so you can go up and rest first. ]
[Excuse me.] ]
After drinking the powder, Qianxue took Qianxia and prepared to go upstairs, but she was also a girl, and after such a heavy rain, even if she took a hot bath, she couldn't change her physique.
Qianxue got up a little staggeringly, wanting to take Qianxia with her, but instead of standing firmly, she stepped on a somewhat long bathrobe, causing her body to lose her balance and the whole person fell forward. Sora hurriedly stepped forward and supported Qianxue who fell, and Qianxia couldn't support Qianxue lying on the sofa because of the hand that Qianxue had just withdrawn.
(It's worse than I thought.) )
[Faux pas.] After Sora finished saying this, he directly picked up Qianxue, who was leaning on him.
[Huh?] Qianxue, who seemed to feel that she was being picked up, looked at the sky in a little panic.
Looking at the door of the room in front of him, he kept chanting [Don't look at indecent things, don't look at indecent things] in his heart, and then opened the door after saying [excuse me], put Qianxue lightly on the bed, and then covered her with a quilt.
[Don't be strong if you're not in good health, I'll bring it up when I'm done cooking, you can rest well, I'll go and bring Chixia back.] ]
[Excuse me, excuse me, could you please carry her to your room?] ]
[Huh?] ]
[After all, cross-infection is possible.] And you also take care of not coughing cough cough at the same time. ]
Seeing that the other party doesn't care about himself, but is worried about the appearance of his sister Chixia, I envy Chixia.
[I will, you have a good rest, I can fix it.] ]
After saying that, Sora left the room, gently closed the door, and hurriedly went downstairs.
Seeing Chinatsu, who was wearing several sizes larger than herself at this time, fall on the sofa, I didn't care about anything else and picked her up.
[Sister.] ]
Qianxue, who was a little confused, felt someone pick her up and rubbed her face into the man's arms.
And holding Qianxue's empty is a little uncomfortable, after all, at this time, Qianxue, who is a little confused, makes this kind of action in a daze, which is extremely lethal to ordinary men. Without resistance, cute, and coquettish, the deer in the empty heart collided, but he knew that this kind of appearance only existed when Qianxia was coquettish to her sister Qianxue.
At this time, Qianxia, who was very hot, didn't feel the response that her sister would normally have, and grabbed the clothes of the person in front of her with some fear, and opened her eyes in a daze. Seeing that the person holding her at this time was not her sister Qianxue, but her brother Kong, she began to struggle.
[Don't.... Don't move, bathrobe....]
Chinatsu, who didn't give up the struggle, hammered Sora's chest with his hand, and Sora carried Chixia to his room according to his sister Chiyuki's request. At this time, Qianxia, who was struggling in her arms, became more and more panicked, and when Sora put her on the bed, she quickly got up and wanted to get out of bed. But Chinatsu, who doesn't seem to know his current physical condition, fell to the ground the moment he got out of bed.
[Don't move!] Sora listened to the voice that came out, and he was also a little panicked. Hurriedly picked up Chixia and put her on the bed, and then covered her with a quilt.
[Woo....] Chinatsu watched as the powerful Sora picked her up, then covered the quilt and stopped struggling, and then heard Sora say this.
[You have a fever now, lie quietly in bed, you both come back from the rain tonight, both of you have a cold, especially you, you have a fever.] I don't have a good rest....]
[right.] No.. from..]
Looking at the way Qianxia grabbed the edge of the quilt with both hands and hid the part below her eyes in the quilt to apologize, she stubbornly held back the next words back into her stomach.
[I'm going to make some dinner you can eat.] Got up and wanted to leave, but found that the edge of his clothes was being grabbed.
[Huh?] What's wrong? ]
Sora looked at Chinatsu with some confusion.
[Don't... Go...]
Qianxia muttered quietly, but in the quiet room, except for the slightly noisy sound of rain outside the window, it was her whispered muttering.
Looking at such a Qianxia, it is not easy for Sora to leave, after all, it is a sick number, and there is always a sister Qianxia by her side. But now, Chinatsu also has a cold and rests in her room, and now there is no one else at home to take care of them except for free, and she also needs someone to accompany her in this situation.
[Okay.] After thinking about it for a while, he decided to stay with her, and then sat on a chair and read the Chinese textbook.
[Yes.... Can you lean on me...] Chixia looked at the empty space sitting in front of the desk and said softly.
[...... Good. ]
Hearing Chixia's soft voice, Sora agreed to her without much thought.
And when Sora set up a chair next to the bed and sat down, Chinatsu turned sideways and reached out from the quilt to hold Sora's left hand. Sora, who was frightened, wanted to pull away, but Chinatsu, who was obviously a fever patient, was surprisingly powerful. Sora gave up the idea of pulling his hand away.
[.... What time is it? ]
[Seven o'clock in the evening, it's still early, if you have dinner, it's fine, or I'll go first...]
Suddenly realized that going to cook porridge also belonged to the empty range of leaving, and hurriedly stopped. But thinking that after hearing the words "go first", Chixia clenched it, in fact, it was no longer in the category of grasping, but the situation of the tight bag.
[Don't...]
Chinatsu's body curled up slightly, leaning towards the air.
Seeing her so cute, Sora gently hugged her, regardless of whether she would be infected.
[I'm not leaving, let's take a break.] ]
Gently stroked China's back through the quilt and comforted her.
And the empty that was suddenly taken into the empty arms, after the body stiffened for a while, he rubbed in the empty arms.
In such an atmosphere, Chixia calmed down and fell asleep quietly, feeling the sound of calm breathing from the person in her arms. Sora slowly, without affecting Qianxia's movements, covered her with the quilt, and then walked out of the room lightly, after all, when they woke up, they had to eat something to fill their stomachs.
When I returned to the empty kitchen, I looked at the ingredients that I was going to process, so I simply put away the ingredients that I was going to use to make boiled fish, and decided to make fish porridge.
When I was packing up the ingredients, I suddenly thought that there was a fever reduction patch at home, because I had just been like that by Qianxia....
(Well, don't think about it, don't think about it.) It is imperative to give them antipyretic patches. )
I took out two antipyretic patches from the medical kit at home, then took out a sports drink from the cabinet next to it and went upstairs.
。
[A little science popularization of the efficacy of sports drinks: assist in the regulation of body fluids and improve exercise ability]
。
[Faux pas.] After Sora finished speaking, he gently opened Qianxue's door, saw that the other party was still asleep, and lightly went over to put the sports drink in a place where it could be reached by the bed, and then put an antipyretic patch on her.
When I was done, I walked to my room. In order not to wake up Chinatsu, who had just fallen asleep not long ago, I walked over lightly, put the antipyretic patch on China's forehead, and put the sports drink on the bedside table.
After doing this, I exited the room, and after the door closed, I realized that I had been soaked with sweat, and the person who should sweat was not empty, but the empty person who took care of the fever patient was sweating, and even a little out of strength.
After all, it's the first time to take care of others, not to mention their own family, and the two are still beautiful girls, to say that the two who look fragile now are more cute and moving than usual, and they can arouse the love of others more.
[Let's go take a shower, if I catch a cold, there will be no one to take care of them.] ]
Feeling the stickiness on his back, Sora decided to take a simple shower.
....
[Or a hot bath can relieve fatigue better~]
Sora said this and walked out of the bathroom. Maybe it was too comfortable to take a shower on a rainy day, so I pulled the door open and walked out, not noticing the petite figure in front of me.
Bang!
Boom!
[hiss, pain...]
[Chinatsu?] Why are you here, aren't you resting? ]
Chinatsu, who was knocked down by Sora, sat on the cushion at the bathroom door with her head covered. Sora hurriedly picked her up.
And Qianxia, who was relieved, looked at the empty who picked herself up, her cheeks gradually reddened, and she began to struggle.
[Eh, wait, China, calm down, don't move.] ]
Sora hugged the struggling Chinatsu in a little panic, not noticing that he didn't have any clothes on his upper body at this time.
[Brother..... Brother....]
[I'm here, I'm here, calm down first, don't move.] ]
[Clothes..... Clothing.... Clothes .....]
[Huh?] ]
After hearing China's reminder, Sora reacted, because he had just taken a shower so as not to affect China's rest, and he didn't go to the closet to get a change of clothes, so at this time he was only wearing a spare yukata placed next to the washing machine, but only the lower half of his body.
[Don't worry about that, I'll carry you back to the room and lie down first.] ]
[..... Well. ]
Sora didn't pay attention to the embarrassing situation for the time being, but went upstairs directly with Chixia in his arms.
Back in the room, after finding pajamas in the closet and changing them, he turned his head and looked at Qianxia who was covered in the quilt, and spoke.
[You haven't answered me yet.] ]
[Because I didn't see my brother..... Somewhat.. Worried....]
Looking at Chinatsu who secretly poked his head out of the bed, but saw Sora staring and quickly retracted.
[Just call me out.] Sora is a little helpless.
But it can't be helped, the other party is a lovely sister, and the empty sighed.
Hearing Sora say this, Chinatsu poked her head out again to look at Sora. Sora looked at each other and touched Chikatsu's head lovingly.
[Brother's hand.... It's huge. Chinatsu rubbed her empty hand with pleasure.
[Hmm.... I'll go and bring a bowl of porridge and give you fish porridge tonight. After saying this with a little accelerated heartbeat, he rubbed Chinatsu's head with a pretended to be calm.
[Be back soon.] In order to reassure China, Sora added another sentence and left the room as if he were running away.
。
。
Listening to Sora tell about her past with Chinatsu, Sakura didn't feel a little envious.
[You brother and sister have a good relationship, but.] ]
Hearing Sakura's "but", Sora was a little confused.
[If something like this happens in the future, remember to call me and I can help.] ]
[Huh?] I stared at Horii-san's face and wondered what the other man meant by what he said.
Being stared at by the air was a little hairy, and Sakura hurriedly explained.
[Don't think about it, I'm just, how to say, it's that girls will be more careful, some things can only be done by girls, ah, there's really nothing.] Sakura waved her hand in a panic.
[Is that so?] Thank you. Sora looked at Horii-san's face that was gradually turning red.,I know that there are some things that can't be delved into.,So it's better to stop here.。。
Seeing that Sora no longer asked, Sakura breathed a sigh of relief and thought: Imaizumi-san, who is really gentle with his family. I also want to have such a family to treat me.
No, what am I thinking???
