Jingle bell~

When the bell rang for the end of class, Kyoko Akizuki walked out of the school and walked towards the apartment, which was two blocks away from the school.

Along the way, there was a lot of traffic, and from time to time there were police patrols, and one of the police cars pulled over after seeing the apricot, and a middle-aged white policeman leaned out of the window and greeted her:

"Miss Qiuyue, are you going home so early?"

"Well, there's a guest coming today."

"Wow, have a nice night."

"Thank you, goodbye, Mr. Steve."

Kyoko Akizuki greeted with a smile and continued towards the apartment.

And Steve returned to the car, and his younger partner, who looked younger, asked Steve strangely:

"Is she an acquaintance of yours?"

"No, I only saw her once at the police station, and that's when she came to inquire about the gun license."

"Then why ······"

The partner was a little strange, and in the face of his puzzled gaze, Steve smiled mysteriously:

"A woman who lives in a wealthy area, is single and has a good temper, it doesn't hurt for her to have a good relationship."

As Steve said, the apartment where Ayuki lives is located in a wealthy neighborhood of New York, and although the house here is expensive, it is nothing to Apricot Akizuki.

As a celebrity, Soichiro Akizuki has received funding from Gorgom, and his assets are quite rich, not to mention the help of a business celebrity like Uncle Sahara, renting an apartment in a wealthy area is easy for her.

Today, Kyoko Akizuki, who had finished the course, returned to the room with great interest and got busy non-stop.

A short time later, a pot of green tea from his hometown was brewed and placed on a coffee table covered with a teal tablecloth along with carefully prepared refreshments, and a few wisps of heat rose.

After doing all this, Kyoko sat on the sofa with her feet slightly cocked, looking at the wall watch, quietly waiting for the arrival of the guests.

Suddenly, the phone rings.

Apricot hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the phone:

"Hey, Sister Kemei····· Yes····· Anyone else? Who is it······ I know. ”

After hanging up the phone, Kyoko had some doubts in her heart, she didn't have many friends here, and Kami was the same in this regard, why did Kami suddenly bring someone else to her today?

However, Kyoko didn't think much about it, in this foreign country, Kami can be regarded as one of her few relatives.

Placing the washed teacup on the table, Kami sat down on the couch again, watching the hands on the clock turn minute by minute.

Finally, after about a quarter of an hour, the crisp doorbell rang.

With curiosity in her heart, Kyoko opened the door, however, what came into her was a face that she would never forget.

"Brother... Elder brother? ”

A voice of disbelief came out of her mouth, and she looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.

That's right, it's him, exactly as he remembers.

Excitement appeared on Kyoko's face, and she subconsciously stepped forward to hug him, but immediately, her movements stopped, and the look in her eyes became extremely complicated, just staring at him.

For a while, the two fell into a stalemate.

"Apricot, won't you let us in?"

At this moment, Katsumi's voice broke the silence, and Kyoko looked at her sister-in-law in a complicated way, a mood that reached its extreme after seeing her come with this man.

However, Kyoko didn't stop her, turned around and opened the door, letting the two of them walk in.

In the room, the three of them sat around the coffee table, sitting opposite each other, speechless for a while.

The pointer on the wall kept turning, and finally, Apricot couldn't help but break the calm:

"You're ····· The one who spoke before? ”

"Well, it's me, though it may be a little offensive, but ····· I still want to come and see you, and ····· Call me Nobuhiko. ”

Yes, this person is Nobuhiko, after ending the matter in the monster world, he did not return to Sawara's house, but first came to North America at the time and met these two people who were extremely important to Nobuhiko Akizuki.

Nobuhiko····· Do you want to... Do? ”

Kyoko looked up and carefully examined Nobuhiko's face.

Same.

Whether it's the name, appearance, or voice, no, it should be said that all of this is the brother in my impression, however, inside this body, there is a different person.

"To fulfill his last wish."

"Last wish?"

"When he entrusted everything to me, he also had a lot to say to you personally."

Nobuhiko said word by word.

At this moment, there is a breeze outside the window, and the fallen leaves on the ground are fluttering in the wind.

Apricot raised her head suddenly, and at this moment, her world was silent, and only the voice of the man in front of her remained.

"Apricot, you have to live well, I'm sorry, my irresponsible brother left first, but, even if it becomes a star in the sky, I will always look at you and love you, forever, forever ······"

There weren't many words, and perhaps for Nobuhiko at that time, there wasn't much time left.

However, the feelings in it are obvious, and the person who inherits this body strives to express the feelings that arise from the bottom of his heart.

Exactly the same voice, even the exact same tone.

Let the apricots unconsciously burst into tears and be speechless for a long time.

"Apricot ·····"

Seeing this scene, Katsumi wanted to step forward to comfort her, but at this moment, Kyoko suddenly stood up, bypassed the coffee table, and threw herself straight into Nobuhiko's arms.

Nobuhiko was stunned for a moment, but then, Apricot's voice sounded in his ears:

"I'm sorry, but it's good for a while, it's good for a while········"

Hearing this, Nobuhiko's body relaxed, and his right hand gently patted the back of the apricot, gently comforting the sister who was related to the body.

I don't know how long it took, Kyoko's trembling body calmed down, she slowly stood up, her eyes were red, and she bowed to Nobuhiko and thanked her:

"Thank you."

"That's what I'm supposed to do."

"That ·······"

Kyoko opened her mouth with some hesitation, she looked at Nobuhiko and Katsumi's gentle smiles, and then, taking a deep breath, said:

“······· Can I call you brother? ”

"Of course, I can also be your brother if you want to."

"Thank you·····"

Nobuhiko and Katsumi stayed here late, until Kyoko fell asleep on the sofa groggily, Katsumi carried her to the bedroom, and Nobuhiko followed, and in Kami's somewhat surprised gaze, Nobuhiko took out a letter from his clothes and put it at the head of Kyoko's bed.

Then he asked Kemei:

"Do you want to accompany her?"

"Well, but, I still have some time."

With that, Katsumi motioned for Nobuhiko to follow her and walked towards the balcony.

At this moment, the stars are like water, and the artificial neon lights drench the entire night sky, and you can't even see the starry sky as far as the eye can see.

Katsumi and Nobuhiko stood side by side on the balcony, two people with special relationships, looking up at the bustling neighborhood outside the window.
