The train departs from the Morido City platform and ends in Tokyo.

After leaving the city, familiar buildings are quickly left behind.

After a little further walking, there are a lot fewer buildings in the view.

The car shook slightly, and the sky outside the window gradually brightened, falling into the trunk through the window.

Kimura Kokoki hugged his backpack and looked out of the glass with his eyes slightly engrossed.

This time, Kyoko Tachibana was not by her side, and she was surrounded by an inexplicable sense of restraint.

There was no one close to me to talk to, and time seemed long.

"Is Shinki going to Tokyo to find Hayabusa?" A voice suddenly rang out.

"Hey." Kimura Kokoki hurriedly came back to his senses and looked at the man sitting next to him.

They all said that they could go to Tokyo alone.

As a result, her brother still found someone to send her to Tokyo.

Yoshihara Shinji she knew, when I was a child, I remember that there were always so many people who would play with my brother, and the Yoshihara Shinji in front of me was one.

Kimura Konoki paused, but still explained slightly: "Actually, I went to Tokyo to complete the contract with the publishing house, and my brother said that I would go to Tokyo to sign a contract during the holidays, but I didn't expect him to forget that this matter has been delayed until now." ”

Since the publisher agreed to sign her work, the pre-author has become a proud identity for Kimura.

"Publishers? That's pretty remarkable. Shinji Yoshihara was slightly surprised.

"It's nothing." Kimura said modestly, but with a happy face.

"No, no, it's already very difficult to be selected by a publishing house, especially at your age." Shinji Yoshihara affirmed, "I don't know if I can sign your work at the library in the future." ”

"Huh? You are...... Do you work in a library? Kimura was curious.

"Well, Morito City Library, the place near the national highway......"

"I know, I know, I used to go there to study with Kyoko and the others."

"Normally, there are a lot of students who go there to study." Shinji Yoshihara said with a smile.

"Are you classmates with your brother?"

"Classmates, but also close friends from childhood to adulthood." Yoshihara Shinji put his hands on his thighs, and a memory rose on his face, "Speaking of which, when you were very young, we saw you at Hayabusa's house, so you probably don't have any impression." ”

"I have the impression that there are always a few people outside the house calling my brother out." Kimura Koki looked up and thought about it.

"That should be me, Mari and Liangtai."

Kimura nodded slightly, though she couldn't relate the names to real-life people.

"Last time my brother and Sister Xun went back to Tokyo, there seemed to be someone besides Brother Yoshihara......"

"Oh, that's what I said about Ryoyasu, Ryoyasu Nakamura."

"I don't seem to have seen that sister named Mari." Kimura's hand holding the backpack was slightly loose.

"That's my wife, Mari Yoshihara." Shinji Yoshihara said.

"Huh......?! Wife! Already married? Kimura was surprised.

But soon I realized that my brother was already at an age where he could get married, and it didn't seem strange that his friends around him were married.

It's just subconsciously surprised that the other party got married so early, in the era of neon, where the average age of marriage is rising.

"That guy is also married." Shinji Yoshihara added.

"In this case, isn't it just my brother who is not married." Kimura Shinki's mouth opened slightly, "This is too bad." ”

“……”

The train was heading towards Tokyo, and the two chatted on the train.

"I went to Tokyo this time not only to send you, but also to get back Mari's trophy certificate."

"Trophy certificate?"

"Mari's music is used in Hayabusa's films, and she won the Neon Academy Award for Best Film Score some time ago."

"Sister Mari is so powerful."

"Even Mari herself didn't expect that music to win an award, she was happy at home for a long time, and I don't know how many times she secretly played back the live awards ceremony."

"It's a joy to be recognized for your work, no matter what it is."

Kimura felt the same way, and suddenly she seemed to think of something, and asked suspiciously,

"Then why didn't Sister Mari go to the award ceremony to win the award in person?"

Yoshihara Shinji was silent for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Because Mari left some traces in the previous fire, there is no way to appear in front of others for a long time. ”

"Hug, sorry. I seem to have asked something I shouldn't have asked. Kimura said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter." Shinji Yoshihara waved his hand as if he was comforting, "And Mari is much better now than before, thanks to Hayabusa, Mari has found himself again." ”

Kimura Kokoki asked in a low voice, "My brother?" ”

It was Hayabusa who discovered Mari's music and encouraged Mari to continue experimenting with music. Including the one that won the award in the movie. Although my wife is still afraid to go out, she is far less resistant to fear than before, and has more expectations......"

The corners of Yoshihara Shinji's mouth unconsciously revealed an extraordinarily soft smile, and his eyes fell on the train floor in front of him, slightly distracted.

It's the flavor of the story.

Kimura's nose twitched, and his eyes changed from boring silence to deep curiosity.

"Why can't I help but talk about these depressing things." The slowdown of the train about to reach the next station made Yoshihara Shinji suddenly come back to his senses, and he said embarrassedly, "When I think of Mari's current changes, I want to share it with others...... Let's change the topic to a lighter ......"

"Nope. Actually, I'm a little curious about Brother Yoshihara and Sister Mari. Can you tell me about it? ”

"We?" Nobuji Yoshihara was unexpected.

"Hmm." Kimura nodded earnestly.

"Really want to hear it? We don't have any great stories. ”

"I want to hear it." Kimura said excitedly, and then hurriedly took out a small notebook from his backpack and opened it, "Can I record it?" ”

"Material?" Shinji Yoshihara also seems to understand something.

"Is that okay?"

Shinji Yoshihara hesitated for a moment, "Although I think most of them are ordinary things...... But if it works for you, please. ”

"Thank you very much!"

"I have to think about where to start, just ...... ...... since high school."

"Hi Hi ......"

“……”

On the train, Shinji Yoshihara talks about the past.

Kimura Konoki holds a pen in his hand and records it in a small book from time to time.

I always feel that the current scene is a bit familiar, and Yoshihara Shinji is inexplicably familiar in his heart.

It's a bit like when I was in Morido City, and I told Hayabusa Kimura about the past.

It's worthy of two brother and sister......

Kimura's eyes sparkled as she remembered the story of Shinji Yoshihara and Mari Yoshihara.

Gradually, a little focus rose on the little face, and the corners of the eyes were a little red.

Where can this be called an ordinary thing!!

……………………………………………………………………

Tokyo Railway Station.

Receiving a call from Kimura Konoki in advance, Hayabusa Kimura took a car to the outside of the station.

Since the purchase of cars by Firefly Office, daily travel has become much more convenient than before.

It is also due to the fact that when he went to pick up Tomorrow from Moriike Kaisha on a rainy day, Suzuki Shunmichi sent someone to drive him, and he tasted the convenience, so that the Firefly Office was also equipped with a car.

Of course, as the business of Firefly Office continues to expand, it is inevitable that some people from other clubs or offices will be welcomed.

It's better to have than nothing.

Tomorrow Smoke stayed at home to prepare, and did not come with him.

After all, it is a crowded place like the station, and if the two of them appear at the same time, I am afraid it will cause a lot of commotion.

Hayabusa Kimura stood at the agreed place outside the station and waited for a while, then he saw two familiar figures walking towards him.

Kimura poked his head out, looking around for something.

Finally, his eyes fell on him, waved his hand, and trotted over: "Brother." ”

Hayabusa Kimura looked up and touched the girl's head, although it didn't take two touches before Kimura Shinki moved away.

"Don't touch my head all the time. It's not a child. ”

In the face of his sister's protest, Hayaya Kimura just smiled.

The feeling of seeing your loved ones in Tokyo is very different from that of Morito.

Inexplicably, there will be an additional sense of responsibility.

"Hayabusa." Shinji Yoshihara also walked over and greeted Hayata Kimura.

"It's really troublesome this time." Hayabusa Kimura thanked.

"Where, where, it's fine, just help Mari get things back by the way." Shinji Yoshihara shook his head.

"How's it going?" Hayabusa Kimura asked.

"It's so much better than before." Shinji Yoshihara replied simply.

Such a question always felt a little redundant, and Hayabusa Kimura looked at Shinji Yoshihara in front of him.

I don't know if it's an illusion.

At this time, Shinji Yoshihara looked a little different from the last time we met in Morido City.

His face was no longer full of sadness, and he smiled a little more.

While the two were greeting, passers-by kept walking back and forth in the distance.

Hayabusa Kimura paused and said, "There are too many people here, let's get in the car first and we'll talk in another place." ”

"Still don't need to." Shinji Yoshihara waved his hand, "I'll grab my things and take the next train back to Morido City." ”

"Huh? In such a hurry? Kimura was stunned.

"I told Mari that I would rush back tonight, and I still don't stay long." Shinji Yoshihara explained.

"At least have a meal together, it won't take long." Hayaya Kimura said.

"It's still not necessary, I guess I'll have to catch the next train after eating."

"Why don't you talk to Mari about tonight......" Hayabusa Kimura didn't finish his words when he heard Shinji Yoshihara shake his head in refusal.

"I'm not around at night, and she should be upset again."

Seeing this, Hayabusa Kimura nodded and didn't say anything more, "I'll go get something in the car." ”

After a while, Shinji Yoshihara had an extra carefully selected paper bag in his hand.

Inside is the trophy and certificate of the Neon Academy Awards.

"Thank you." Shinji Yoshihara thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

"I heard that Mari has been looking forward to it for a long time, but it must be delivered safely and unmistakably." Hayabusa Kimura quipped.

"Yes."

"There are a lot of film projects here at the Firefly Office that are ready to start shooting, and I hope Mari can make more music."

"Mari has been trying to make new music lately, so please look forward to it." Shinji Yoshihara said with a smile.

Sure enough, it has changed a lot.

"Then I'll go in first." Shinji Yoshihara adjusted the things in his hand and looked at Hayaya Kimura and Kokoki Kimura, "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye, Brother Yoshihara."

"Goodbye...... Well? Kimura Hayabusa glanced at the girl on the side, did the two already know each other so well.

"Oh yes, Hayabusa." Shinji Yoshihara looked back as if he remembered something.

"What?"

"Of the four of us, you are the only one who is not married, hurry up and get married."

"Huh?"

…………………………………………………………………

"Does my brother live here?"

Outside the rental house, Kimura Konoki looked around, the narrow corridor, and the slightly old house.

"Hmm." Hayabusa Kimura took out the key from his pocket, "How about living here since you came to Tokyo?" ”

"It's a little bit smaller than I thought." Kimura thought for a moment, "I used to see on TV that the houses in Tokyo were very small, but I didn't expect them to be like this. ”

"It's a big house, but it's ......."

Hayaya Kimura opened the door.

"But what?" Kimura asked curiously.

"It's expensive." Hayabusa Kimura motioned for his sister to come into the house.

"It's not easy to live in Tokyo......

Kokoki Kimura walked into the entrance.

"I'm back." Hayabusa Kimura said as he walked into the house.

"Welcome back." Tomorrow Smoke walked out of the kitchen, his white and tender little hands on his apron, "Welcome Xinxi." ”

"Sister Smoke!"

"You've been on the train for so long, are you hungry? Wait a little longer and you'll be ready to eat. ”

"Okay."

Seeing Asuki return to the kitchen, Kimura looked at his brother and whispered, "Brother." ”

"Huh?"

"Are you going to let Sister Xun live with you in this kind of place?"

"Hmm. What's wrong? Hayabusa Kimura replied.

What's wrong?! Kimura took a slight breath, "It's a big problem!" A star artist like Sister Xun is crammed into such a small rental house with her brother? If other people knew, I was afraid that my brother would be scolded severely. ”

Hayabusa Kimura stood up the steps at the entrance and thought thoughtfully, "I said I would change places to live in before, but then I was busy making a movie and returned to Morito, so I was so busy that I forgot about it. ”

"......" Kimura Xinxi held his forehead with his small hand, a little speechless, "I really don't know how my brother persuaded Sister Xun to live here with you......"

"Not convinced." Hayaya Kimura said, "Speaking of which, Smoke offered to live here. ”

Kimura was shocked.

She really couldn't imagine that a star artist like Sister Xun would take the initiative to live in this small rental house with her brother.

Looking at his sister's stunned face, Kimura Hayabusa smiled: "Think it's incredible? ”

Kimura nodded vigorously, but quickly shook his head: "Although there are some surprises, there is nothing unbelievable. ”

"Want to know why?"

"Why?"

"There is no reason, there is no reason for love."

Kimura Shinki's cute little face was tensed like a sour cucumber, and she regretted asking that more. (End of chapter)
