INTERVIEWER Is this the official start of the game?

Play. This is the hint given by the system when you first enter the game. Then his task now is to play the role given by the system. And then there's ......

Yuma's gaze fell unabashedly on Shuji Tsushima in front of him.

The difference between the two was only one or two years old, but the boy in front of him looked undernourished, half a head shorter than himself, thin and weak, and looked pitiful.

His face hung down, his slightly curly black hair still falling on the pink carved face, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, although he was young, it was enough to see that his demeanor when he grew up was enough to make any woman fall in love.

But maybe it's because he's still young, and the tender baby face should be more cute than handsome.

Yuma Ichinose subconsciously reached out and wanted to push his glasses, but when his fingers touched the bridge of his nose, he felt empty. He lowered his hand in embarrassment, only to realize that the game had corrected his myopia.

Yuma pondered for a moment, and Toba's jade-like dark eyes swept indifferently from Tsushima's body, covering his lips and coughing twice.

“…… Ahem. Listen, I'm, hmm, it hurts. ”

Because I've been at home for too long, and I haven't spoken to anyone other than my sister for too long, Yuma Ichinose bit her tongue directly as soon as she spoke.

There was embarrassment in the air.

Ichinose Yuma also wanted to find an excuse to cover up the accidental stutter just now, and quietly peeked at each other with his afterglow, but Shuji Tsushima suddenly raised his head, and the two eyes collided together like a coincidence.

Yuma Ichinose realized that the other party's eyes were not black, but dark brown like dead wood after it had been burned. Obviously he is still a child, but his eyes look deeper than any adult, and he seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

The strange contrast made Yuma's scalp tighten, and all the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat for a while, and his head was blank.

Is this guy really a child......

Yuma hesitated for a moment, his eyes blinked, and the next second, Shuji Tsushima's original eyes disappeared, and instead showed a cramped and flattering smile.

The pretty peach blossom eyes looked at him cautiously, as if the moment of maturity and darkness that had been revealed before was just an illusion of Yuma alone.

INTERVIEWER Maybe it's really a delusion.

Ichinose Yuma paused, simply pretending that nothing had happened just now, and continued.

“…… Hmph, you heard my name from my father anyway. ”

"Yes, Brother Yu...... Hmm, can I call you brother like that......"

Shuji Tsushima nodded and whispered. The cry of "Nissan" was soft and sweet, and with that cute face with a little baby fat, and the pleasing eyes like a puppy, the lethality was doubled.

No way.

Ichinose Yuma was hit by the other party's name all at once, and his head couldn't turn in a daze.

Maybe it's because he has a sister in reality, but he actually thought more than once that it would be nice if he were an older brother - and now is he really an older brother?

Yuma's head was stuffed with jumbled information and he stayed where he was.

However, this is not your average text adventure game these days, and the screen will always remain in its current dialog state without pressing the spacebar.

Shuji Tsushima waited for a long time, but the other party kept his face expressionless and did not speak, the pitiful smile on his face was so stiff that he could not maintain it anymore, the emotions in his heart were overturned, and all kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind.

Did he see that he was acting? Or is it a deliberate attempt to see how I please? What to do......

Shuji Tsushima's heart sank, and the corners of his lips gradually fell.

He was suddenly a little impatient, thinking that he might just stop pretending, and was about to withdraw his smile, but the nominal brother in front of him suddenly raised his head sharply, pursed his lips, and made a look of indifference.

"First, first, I won't admit that a guy like you who came out of nowhere is my brother. But my father said so, so it's okay to leave you something to eat. Ichinose Yuma said quickly, "Ahem, but as for what you want to call, it's up to you, I won't respond anyway." ”

Set up people, and speak more badly.

Yuma read it back in his heart, and his face showed a look of disgust and disgust.

This is a lot simpler than expected, perhaps because some of the characters also have the reason for his true colors.

He thought that his appearance would be annoying, but in fact, Shuji Tsushima in front of him only blinked, and did not make any waves in his heart about Yuma's evil words.

Huh~ It turns out that he didn't see it.

…… Maybe this brother of his is more stupid than he imagined, no, naïve. That being said, his tone and expression looked more like he was deliberately pretending.

So why go out of your way to perform?

…… Well, but I don't seem to be qualified to ask this question.

The black-haired boy smiled mockingly in his heart, but his face was acting, and he was very sad to hear such evil words from his brother who met for the first time.

"Does my brother hate me?"

The look of frustration on that cute little face made Yuma Ichinose feel at a loss, and the muscles in her entire back tensed.

He has never had experience in dealing with children, and the other party is still bullied by himself and is about to cry.

Oops, did he just overdo it? After all, the other party is still a child.

Guilt suddenly overwhelmed Yuma Ichinose.

"Well, that's, it's not ......."

Yuma was still thinking about how to comfort the other party, and in a hurry, he subconsciously wanted to get up from the tatami mat.

However, after kneeling for a long time, his legs and feet were numb, and when he got up, one leg was weak, and he directly lay down in the center of the Japanese room, shaking the petals of the flower in the vase on the side.

Ichinose Yuma lowered his head, so that the other party didn't see his painful expression. He suddenly understood why the system had suggested that he add points to [Etiquette] before it started.

Not only did he tingle in his knee from the previous kneeling sitting, but his face-down face hurt even more - there wouldn't be a nosebleed, would he?

Yuma Ichinose got up from the tatami mat in embarrassment, and her first reaction was to look at the other person's reaction.

Shuji Tsushima blinked, with a well-behaved and obedient expression, as if he didn't notice his brother's embarrassment.

But the more the other party looked like he didn't know what was happening, the more Yuma felt the temperature on his face rise. He could only drop a sentence in a frustrated manner, and opened the shoji door to escape from this embarrassing place.

“…… But, hateful. I, my bed, was down in the hallway, very close...... But don't come to me for anything. ”

The hem of the boy's clothes quickly disappeared at the door, and Shuji Tsushima in the room finally couldn't hold back and laughed, which gave him a bit of vitality at his age.

I thought that all the guys in this place were marionettes, but this brother of his, much more interesting than he thought.

And he said, 'Don't come to him if it's okay,' but still told me the location of my room.

After laughing a few times, it seemed that he felt that he had laughed enough, and Shuji Tsushima retracted the expression on his face little by little, and the gloom at the beginning crept up into his eyes again, and the dead air after taking off the disguise was breathless.

Outside, the sunlight from outside poured through the sliding door into the vase on the inner wall, but it ended right at his side.

He sat in the shadows, his expression obscure.

March cherry blossoms.

Shuji Tsushima glanced at the cherry blossoms outside the house, and the cherry blossoms that were connected like clouds came into view. However, no matter how dazzling it is, the life that is scattered and withered is only fleeting.

"It's beautiful......"

He couldn't help but sigh in a low voice, feeling envious.

"I want to die like this."

……

【Shuji Tsushima Trust +10】【Shuji Tsushima Trust (10/100)】

As soon as Ichinose Yuma returned to his room, he heard a prompt ringing in his ear.

This adds 10 trust points? Uh, it's not like I'm stupid and trustworthy because I'm embarrassed, right? He recalled the toe-toe snapping scene just now, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

- In a sense, he did guess the truth.

But anyway, it's a good thing. Yuma thought of rare optimism and set a flag for himself.

This game is easier than you thought.

After confirming, he suddenly felt a ripple in the air in front of him, and then conjured up a translucent note.

Ichinose Yuma subconsciously stretched out his hand, and the note turned into a physical substance and fell into his hand.

That doesn't seem like anything special. There is a line of crooked words on the white paper, as if it was left by a child with black crayon graffiti, full of childishness.

- I'm not a "daddy" child, but I will try to be a "daddy" child.

\"It's ......\"

Ichinose Yuma muttered to herself, flipped the note over, and the expression on her face couldn't help but see the name on it.

He double-checked it several times in disbelief, convinced that he wasn't mistaken.

"Yu Tsushima"

"Isn't this 'me' grass!"
