Ema's younger brother

It was the first time that Asahina Subaru felt this fact so clearly - Hinata Moto's world was different from theirs.

He stared blankly at the young man standing on the steps, staring vigilantly and defensively at the open space in front of him, hesitation and wavering unconsciously appeared in those magnificent dark red eyes, but he was quickly suppressed by its owner. down.

Hongli stood one meter away from Hinata and stared at him intently. She slowly stretched out her hand forward, wanting to touch the boy's cheek - Hinata, who was aware of her thoughts, stepped back reflexively. .

"why……"

The girl tilted her head suspiciously.

Her jet-black eyes were hollow and cold like inorganic objects, and the blood shed was even more terrifying.

——She was in a very strange state.

It stands to reason that resentful spirits would attack humans irrationally, but Hongli just stood quietly in front of Hinata Chen, unable to see any desire to kill and abuse young people.

"Dust." She took a few steps forward, her waist-length black hair drawing smooth arcs in the air.

Ryu Xiangchen backed away with his head lowered, and distanced himself from her with dim eyes—his action stopped Hongli from approaching her.

"Chen is avoiding me." Her eyebrows and eyes were stained with sadness, "Why? Aren't we...friends."

friend?

Hinata Chen froze in place.

Wraiths—that is, souls with only a thirst for human flesh and blood left in their hearts, their memories will gradually become blank, their emotions will be corrupted by desires, and finally they will be killed in an ugly appearance.

In short, it is impossible for a wraith to remember that he has a 'friend' and express sadness.

But the appearance and aura of the dividend... are no different from those of a Wraith, right?

Hinata Chen stared hesitantly at the bonus in front of him, and after struggling for a long time, he bit his right index finger—beads of blood seeped out, and the smell that was quite attractive to the resentful spirits permeated the air, attracting the bonus almost instantly He threw himself at Hinata Chen whose body was tense.

Sure enough... it's a wraith.

There was an inexplicable throbbing pain in his heart, the boy took a step back to avoid her attack, and then took out the static talisman and stuck it on her forehead.

"Chen, she has your scent on her body." Yi Mulian who had been silent all this time suddenly said, he changed back to normal size and stood beside the young man, his nose fluttering slightly, "Your scent...is very similar."

Eh?

Ryu Xiangchen was startled.

Could it be that the blood shed when he was attacked by Dionysus when he was a child kept Dividends part of his sanity? !Does my blood have that much effect?

The young man pursed his lips uncertainly, and his curled eyelashes trembled slightly.

——I want to try to see what my blood can do.

He took out the small blade that he brought today from his pocket, took a deep breath to relax his body, and slashed hard on his left wrist—"Hey! What are you doing?!" Subaru, who was standing beside him, frowned and growled. , the dark blue eyes were full of disapproval and confusion.

Hinata Moto, who was concentrating on experimenting with the functions of his own blood, didn't have much thought to explain to him.Looking at the dark red blood gushing from his wrist, the boy hesitated for a while, then tore off the spell on Hong Li's forehead, and at the same time stretched out his left hand.

The girl greedily bit his bleeding wound, and the pain caused by the sharp canine fangs piercing his tender skin made his hands tremble slightly, but after reacting, he quickly stabilized.

And Subaru finally knew the reason why Hinata Shin slapped his wrist——

Dividend, who was originally invisible to ordinary people, gradually revealed her figure after devouring the young man's blood. Her bluish-white skin slowly turned back to its original fair complexion, and the blood color from the liquid flowing from her eye sockets also faded away, leaving only tears that are characteristic of tears. clear and transparent.

The worn-out puppet fell to the ground beside her, stained with dirty dust.

This...idiot!

Subaru clearly understood that Hinata Chen's blood had made the little girl a lot more normal, but he still couldn't accept the boy's unhesitating behavior of hurting himself.He lifted the backpack to his chest, and took out the medicine and bandages with a cold face—fortunately, he has the habit of carrying all kinds of medicines and dressing supplies that can be used in the event of bruises at any time.

He carried the bag back on his back with the good stuff, and stepped forward to interrupt Hinata Chen's movements - looking at the little girl, there is no need for Xiaochen to continue to donate blood enthusiastically, right?

"...Why are you stopping me?"

Subaru looked at Ichimuren who suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, and tightened his hand holding the potion and bandage.

"...don't get in his way."

Yimulian was silent for a while, then answered Subaru's question in a flat tone, and stood in front of him with his tall and straight body motionless.

"Interfering?!" Subaru looked at Hinata Masaru's 'pale' face, his dark blue eyes filled with anger, "He was often injured and even went to the hospital after he came to our house - how much blood can be shed in his body ?!"

As a basketball player, Subaru has an uncontrollable anger at people who don't take care of their bodies.

Obviously, so many people have to withdraw from the sports world with regret and pain because of physical injuries, but there are also so many people with good physical conditions who are wasting their own conditions that are envied by many people, doing things that hurt their bodies.

His angry and distressed words didn't make Yimulian give up on blocking him.

The bright and icy golden eyes of the monster doze slightly, and he can't help but think of Hinata Chen's scarred white palms after he carved his name, and also think of the young man's embarrassing and weak appearance after Yu Nu left.

[Why do you always have to hurt yourself for others?]

[Why can't I cherish myself a little more]

Yimu Lian's white and tender fingertips trembled, and his silver-white hair intertwined and intertwined in the wind, interweaving a gorgeous moonlight.

He hid his inner turmoil well, so he knew he couldn't get over this non-human Subaru gave a weak wry smile, and sat on the ground covering his face.

The feeling of watching family members get hurt and not being able to do anything...it sucks.

"dust."

Tears of bonus dripped on Hinata Chen's wound, and the pain stimulated by the salt was conveyed into the brain unreservedly, but Hinata Chen didn't show any uncomfortable expression, and didn't even frown.

He glanced at Subaru and Yimulian unobtrusively, and then quickly turned his gaze back to the girl.

The boy picked up the puppet on the ground, gently patted off the dust on it, and handed it to Hongli: "A gift from Mom and Dad...you have to cherish it carefully."

He smiled slightly, his curved eyes were filled with warm light, his pear-yellow hair lay softly on his head, and was coated with a layer of golden light by the sun, making him look extraordinarily dazzling.

"do not Cry."

He took out the handkerchief in his pocket and wiped away the tears that slid down the face of the sobbing girl: "Girls are not so pretty when they cry."

familiar environment.

Familiar tone.

familiar moves.

……stranger.

"Chen...it's really rude to say 'not so pretty' when a girl is crying!" A bright smile bloomed on Hongli's fair and lovely cheeks. She took Hinata Chen's handkerchief and wiped off the residue on her face Tears, "The strong bonus prince can wipe away his tears."

——she no longer wants to be a rescued princess.

Hongli's heart felt inexplicably sore and aching, and the blood in her memory still filled her brain, occupying all the blank space, but she didn't have the urge to continue to feel wronged and cry.

Emotions that have been washed away by tears have finally fallen into numb despair.

Because it was the first time that she knew everything so clearly, the reality was naked in front of her eyes, which made her lose any power of refutation and self-deception, made her lose her direction of progress, and made her stop in confusion In the same place - even Hinata's wound couldn't cause her much disturbance.

Her chest hurts all the time.

But the brain is blank.

She cooperates with Hinata Chen to reenact the scene of the first meeting, but she will never tell the fairy tale of "Prince and Princess".

"Chen, bandage the wound first." Hongli concealed all his emotions, and pointed at Subaru, who was exuding depression all over his body, "Your family members seem very worried."

Hinata paused, and nodded.

He thanked Yi Mulian in a low voice as he passed by, and then squatted down in front of Subaru: "Brother Subaru, can I trouble you to bandage me?"

Hearing the voice, Subaru raised his head, the indifferent expression on his handsome face made Hinata Moto startled, and the thought of retreating could not help but arise in his heart.But after feeling the encouragement from the surrounding flowers and trees, the boy gritted his teeth and begged softly again: "Please, brother Subaru."

His wound was actually not too deep, but the gushing blood made the wound look extraordinarily hideous—with his inhuman recovery ability, such a wound would heal perfectly within a few days, even No scars will remain.

But for Subaru, who didn't know it and paid special attention to his health, his wound was extremely serious.So although there was an inexplicable tightness in his chest, Subaru silently helped Hinata apply the medicine and tied the bandage.

"Don't get wet, and don't eat indiscriminately these days."

Subaru instructed the boy with a cold face.

Sun Xiangchen nodded obediently.

Before this, he was angry with Subaru and didn't want to talk to others, but now he was inexplicably short of breath in front of Subaru... The Hinata boy expressed that he deeply felt Subaru's previous embarrassment.

His blood can only keep the bonus as an entity for 10 minutes, so now the bonus has changed back to a state that cannot be seen by ordinary people.Ichimokuren, who seemed as inexplicably angry as Subaru, also hid in his pocket and remained silent while he bandaged the wound.

——Hinata boy, who was almost alone with Subaru, was so embarrassed that he wanted to scratch the floor.

Hongli was obediently standing beside him holding the puppet, a smile appeared in his dark and bright eyes.

"This kind of thing...don't allow it to happen a second time."

Subaru lowered his head and put the things he took out back into his backpack, warning in a low voice.

The first impression of his voice is always clear and clean, but now it is low and oppressive after being lowered.

"Okay." Hinata nodded bluntly, "Brother Subaru, it's just a special situation this time... I'm not the kind of person who donates blood casually!"

"I also attach great importance to the health of my body."

He puffed his cheeks and snorted softly, feeling very dissatisfied with his inexplicable weakness.

"I haven't seen how much you value your body yet!" Subaru, who was furious when he heard the boy mention this, couldn't help but sharply refuted Hinata Chen's words. Seeing the boy lowering his head instantly, he frowned in annoyance. lips, but couldn't hold back his face to apologize, so he could only walk towards Risheng Apartment with the boy relatively silently.

"Hey...do you want to watch my basketball game?"

After a long silence, Subaru took the initiative to bring up the topic.

"Basketball game?"

"Well, I will play this basketball game." Subaru, who looked radiant after mentioning his field of interest and expertise, raised a hearty arc, "I want to invite you to watch."

Is this a settlement?

Hinata Chen glanced at Subaru's face that was no longer sullen, felt the relaxed atmosphere again, and nodded after thinking about it for a while: "Okay, when?"

"Next Sunday."

Subaru quickly answered the time he remembered very clearly.

But after answering, the two inevitably fell into the embarrassment of having no topic to talk about again... No.

Hinata Moto expressed his interest in the blushing on Subaru's face at some point: "Brother Subaru, you are blushing."

He automatically and self-consciously showed the mentality he usually had when bullying Yusuke, and seriously analyzed the reason for Subaru's blushing: "Brother Subaru, did you think of something unspeakable? For example, Teacher Cang or something?"

"Cough cough cough-"

Caught off guard by being teased, Subaru suddenly coughed, and he gave Hinata Chen an embarrassed and shy look: "Don't talk nonsense."

Hinata, who was so stared at with goosebumps all over his body: ...woc is so scary? !

Unaware that his expression at this moment is equated with "King Kong Barbie" in the heart of the new brother, Asahina Subaru scratched his short dark blue hair, turned his head and staggered Hinata Chen's gaze: "...that, Xiaochen .”

"……how?"

Does Brother Subaru want him to help buy AVs or magazines, or do you want him to popularize more about this? !But I always feel that it would be embarrassing to popularize these things to my brother... But if Brother Subaru really asks it, it seems that it is not easy to refuse.

The young Hinata who had a big brain hole showed a bit of worry in his brows and eyes.

"Cough...that's it." Subaru touched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and murmured his request, "Um... can you, by the way, invite your sister for me."

……

ha? !

Hinata Chen was stunned for a second, and then instantly showed a very ferocious expression: "Brother Subaru! Isn't it normal to invite your sister to watch a basketball game! Why do you have to show such a young girl's expression? We are not brothers Well, isn't it inappropriate to show this kind of expression in the communication between brothers!"

Regarding the safety of his sister, Hinata boy put away all his ideas without hesitation, and said that the more he looked at Subaru, the more he disliked him—even worse than Yusuke!

At least he knew for sure that Yusuke was not Ema's type, but Subaru...

Recalling the ideal type revealed by Ema inadvertently, Hinata Motoshi compared Ema's description in his memory with Asahina Subaru in front of him, and suddenly felt...his sister might be in danger!

"Brother Subaru, please don't evade my question."

Hinata Moto questioned Subaru seriously.

Hongli blinked while hugging the puppet, she stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of the boy's clothes: "Chen, a girl's love affairs should be decided by herself, and Mr. Subaru seems to be a very good husband candidate."

Although she looks like a child, she is just a girl in puberty, and her mentality is similar to that of Ema.

Hinata boy controlled by sister: ...

After ignoring Hongli's persuasion without hesitation, Hinata Chen continued to stare coldly at the increasingly embarrassed Subaru.

"I... that." Subaru clenched his fist and put it on his lips, coughing, struggled for a while before continuing, "I plan to confess my love to your sister after winning the basketball game!"

Hinata Moto: ...

"...Confession?"

The boy repeated these two words in disbelief.

"When did something happen between you and your sister that I don't know about?! Why did you go straight to the confession?!" The boy gritted his teeth and looked at Subaru, "Give up! You can't win the game! "

"I will win for Ema! And... our team is stronger than the opponent." Subaru stretched out his hand and scratched his head again, his dark blue eyes softened because of recalling something, "I didn't Something special happened with Ema, I just think she is really a very good girl."

"Knows how to do housework, cooks delicious food, has a gentle and patient personality, studies hard and works hard...and is also very beautiful." His cheeks flushed again, and his tone of voice became softer and softer, "Look, Such a girl is very popular, right? The way she protected you before was also very brave."

"If you can form a family with such a girl...you will definitely have a very happy life."

Subaru's eyes as deep as the sea were filled with gentleness like water, and it was the first time that his usually restrained emotions were clearly displayed in Hinata Chen's line of sight.

"That's good."

During the time when Hinata was silent, Hongli sighed: "He seems to really like your sister - he listed so many advantages of her, and the expression and tone of his words are so gentle."

"It must be a reliable husband?"

Hongli tilted her head and smiled: "Chen, you have to respect your sister's choice. So... don't rush to refute Subaru-kun's words, let your sister make her own decision."

Accompanied by the wind, her delicate and soft voice reached Ryu Xiangchen's ears, dispelling the boy's chaotic thoughts.

"...Hmph." Ryu Xiangchen curled his lips unwillingly, but there was a very serious emotion in his eyes, "I see, I will invite my sister for you."

"But my sister won't accept your confession."

He added in embarrassment.

Subaru breathed a sigh of relief when he got this answer, and a bright smile appeared on his face again: "Thank you, Xiaochen."

Hinata Chen: ...Thank you, thank you!Don't want to help you chase sister QAQ? !

[That's great]

[Marriage... must be a happy thing, right? ]

[Sorry about that]

[Such a beautiful and happy future... I will never have it]
