[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Da also came to ask someone to prepare lunch, and by the way asked Dun Helian if she had any taboos.

Because the weather has been getting hotter and hotter recently, the excessively high temperature has also affected the appetite of many people, so Haruko has been working on improving the recipes during this time, trying to increase the food intake of the two brothers Shingo, Tatsuya, and Kazuya.

From Tatsuya's point of view, he feels that his mother's "experiment" is quite successful. At least he feels that his food intake has not decreased but increased in the past few days after returning home from the camp. If it is not for the daily training and competition maintenance With an amount of exercise above the standard, you may have gained several kilograms by now.

However, Haruko didn't plan to cook at noon today, because although she had Xiaonan's help last night, the workload of preparing the big table was not small. She still felt a little sore in her shoulders when she woke up this morning, and she only had fried bacon for breakfast The egg toast was manageable, but for lunch it was a bit tiring to think about.

So Haruko was already ready to order sushi takeaway. Who would have thought that Tsuruga Ren would choose to visit on this day.

"My mother said it would be rude to entertain guests with takeaway sushi, so I finally decided to cook it myself."

——I don't know if it was Ren Tsuruga's illusion, but he always felt that Tatsuya gave him a dark glare when he said this.

But when he didn't understand the details of it at all, when he looked over carefully, the boy opposite He He also had almost the same face, but the aura on the two of them was hard to be mistaken for each other. The same lazy and unmotivated look as before:

"So I was sent here to ask, is there anything Mr. Tsuruga should not eat? Especially if you are allergic to it?"

Tsuruga Ren shook her head, "Not really. And I believe in Aunt Haruko's craftsmanship—in Kazuya's description, it is an amazing skill that can make any food extremely delicious."

While talking, he turned his head with a smile and looked at Kazuya with a mocking face.

The latter let him look at it gracefully.

"I'm telling the truth." He had a straight face, "My mother's craftsmanship is amazing! It's not like you haven't tasted it, Lian."

"If you're talking about the previous sports festival..."

Tsuruga Ren raised her hand and touched her chin with some aftertaste——

Don't say it.

The handmade bento I ate that day tasted really good.

It's just that most of his attention was on someone at that time, and only a small part was reserved for food.

Speaking of which, maybe since that time or earlier, he already had unusual thoughts about He Ye, right?Otherwise, seeing He Ye being pulled away from him by that girl, he wouldn't be in such a strange mood of sourness, anger and unwillingness...

Tsuruga Ren had to admit her hindsight and... well, as President Takarata said, slowness.

So maybe he should really thank President Baotian for "being nosy" - if he hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have realized it for a few years if he hadn't reminded him. The mood that has never been felt is the so-called "love feeling".

Tsuruga Lian couldn't help but let out a low laugh.

"lotus……?"

"No, it's nothing. I just remembered the omelette I ate at that time..."

—that omelet you stuffed into my mouth.

"That's... very delicious."

"……yes."

I don't know if it's his illusion, but I always feel that Lian's line seems to have something in it, and the meaning is quite profound.

And also thought a little puzzled.

But soon, his attention was drawn away by Tatsuya:

"So Tsuruga-san wants to eat mom's omelet?"

The elder brother raised his eyebrows lazily.

"Uh..." Tsuruga Lian was at a loss for words for a moment.

If he said he didn't want to eat it, then what he said just now was a bit hypocritical. He said he wanted to eat it, but he really wasn't that eager...

Or it should be said that Tsuruga Lian has never paid much attention to appetite. For him, the first priority of food is to make him full, and the problem of taste is second to his mood. A rice ball of several hundred yen can satisfy his need to fill his stomach, which shows how low this person's pursuit of "deliciousness" →_→

But this time is obviously not the time for him to be "upright".

So Ren Tsuruga just paused for a moment, and immediately responded to Tatsuya with a smile on her face:

"If you don't trouble Aunt Haruko."

Tatsuya didn't seem to notice his subtle pause for a moment, and sat there with his chin propped up, "Omelet is one of my mother's specialty dishes, and the ingredients are simple, so it won't be too much trouble. If you like She should be happy to make it for you—because Kazuya also loves mom's omelet the most."

As he said that, he looked at He Ye with a strange look on his face.

The latter looked back with an innocent face.

"...＝＝" Da also didn't know why he suddenly felt a little stuffy, so he simply turned his eyes away from looking at (just seeing that innocent face) his own brother who made people feel very angry, "Then I'm going to get back to Mom - don't you want anything other than an omelet?"

Tsuruga Ren shook her head honestly.

Tatsuya narrowed his eyes, looking him up and down obviously for a while.

The hair on Tsuruga Lian's back was about to stand on end when he looked at him with indistinct eyes!

"Is there a problem, Tatsuya-kun?"

He kept a gentle and elegant smile and asked warmly.

Kazuya looked at him with a look of "So Kazuya didn't lie to me, you are really such a person":

"It's nothing. I just feel that as a popular superstar, Mr. Tsuruga, you are too down-to-earth in some respects."

As he spoke, he nodded to Tsuruga Lian, got up and walked straight to the study room:

"Then I'll reply to Mom now. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"Well, trouble, brother."

Kazuya smiled and waved at him.

Tatsuya, who had already walked to the door, turned his head when he heard the words, and gave him an angry look, "If you know that you will trouble others, please be more conscious!"

"Hey~ Brother, why are you like this! Shouldn't you say 'it's nothing' at this time?"

"Hehe." Do I look like a fool who dotes on my younger brother so much?

Da also sneered.

Kazuya looked at him with an "aggrieved" face:

"I knew my brother was still angry with me... Did he really lie to me before?"

"..." How on earth did you come to this conclusion!Could it be his fault? !Can't mock you anymore?If you frown coldly, you will be called narrow-minded, and if you say that you have reconciled, you are still angry at all? !

What robber logic is this!

Tatsuya was about to be laughed at by his black-hearted younger brother.

He took a deep breath, and then stopped looking at He and his eyes full of happy smiles, turned around and knocked on the door and left!

Kazuya sat in the corner after he left, smiling until the image of an idol school prince disappeared——

"Pfft... How about it, Lian, isn't my brother cute?"

With a subtle mood that made Tsuruga Lian sour, she quickly turned into dumbfounding, "My dog/boss meow/little rabbit/hamster mouse...is it cute?" and asked in such a tone, Kazuya's smiling face was shining brightly in the sun, as if it was shining itself.

However, as I said just now, Ren Tsuruga, who was originally full of slightly sour jealousy towards Tatsuya who made Kazuya smile like this, but because of Kazuya's face of "Yes, I am such a brother!" integrity ( No) expression, and quickly dispelled the jealousy in my heart, turning it into a complex emotion similar to... envy and sympathy.

"You really like Tatsuya-kun..."

He sighed softly in a subtle tone that couldn't tell what emotion it was.

He also nodded generously and admitted:

"Of course! I like my brother the most!"

"..." Tsuruga Lian suddenly felt an arrow in the chest—although he knew that the liking Kazuya said was definitely not the kind of "liking" that should make him feel threatened.

"Did I tell you, Lian? My brother has been very caring and considerate since he was very young."

Kazuya had a nostalgic and joyful smile on his face, and his voice was soft.

"Although I am very smart and can learn everything quickly, my brother never laughed at me after learning it. Instead, he turned around and patiently taught me and practiced with me."

"So, even at the age when boys should have 'emotional disputes' with their peers, even if I have the idea of ​​'I don't want to lose to him' towards my brother, but it never affects my feelings for my brother. .”

"Because I always remember how he was by my side."

"And brother really dotes on me?"

"I remember when the two of us were very young... well, maybe we haven't been to elementary school yet?"

"At that time, there was a limited edition toy, and my brother and I liked it very much, so I asked the owner of a nearby toy store to reserve two copies. The two of us saved together for a long time-it seems to be two or three months? Anyway, I remember very After a long period of time—the pocket money, I finally saved enough money to buy toys, and when I rushed to the store, the boss only reserved toys for one person because of negligence.”

"Because he remembered that the person who asked him to reserve it was his brother, so he said he wanted to sell the toy to his brother."

"But my brother said no."

"It's obvious that you really want it, but don't go too far and say 'I don't want it!'"

"Because it won't work if it's not for both of you."

"But my brother really likes that toy."

"I almost cried when I said 'no'."

"I still remember him pulling me out of the toy store."

And also gently closed eyes.

That little Tatsuya, who was tearful and wanted the toy very much but stubbornly pulled Kazuya away without looking back, is the most precious memory that will never fade in Kazuya's heart.

"I have never forgotten what my brother looked like at that time."

Because that was one of the strongest evidences of how much Tatsuya cared about Kazuya.

"But I never told my brother about this."

As if withdrawing from deep memories in good time, Kazuya raised his index finger to Tsuruga Ren, and made a "shh~" gesture:

"So Lian has to help me keep it a secret. You must never tell your brother about this."

Tsuruga Lian looked at her sweetheart with a trusting look of "so this will be a secret between us from now on!", and there was joy in her heart that she would share such a secret memory with herself, and she also felt that she could let her Kazuya showed the subtle jealousy of Tatsuya who was so gentle that his heart softened just like before.

But of course, under Kazuya's expectant gaze, he still smiled and nodded in promise, "Okay."

And getting his promise, Kazuya really smiled in relief.

However, he didn't know that Tatsuya, who was supposed to answer Haruko's question, realized halfway through that he forgot to ask Kazuya and Ren if they wanted to eat croquettes from Aunt Asakawa's house, so he turned back halfway to ask, but walked to the window By the side, I happened to hear and also began to recall the past...

Leaning his head against the outer wall of the study room, Tatsuya raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Although he was trying to suppress it, the desire to smile was beyond his control anyway...

"Hmph. This kid still has a conscience."

With a soft snort, he avoided the direction of the window, turned his footsteps, and walked towards the door again——

Forget it.You don’t need to ask about croquettes, but you know that Kazuya must eat them. After replying to his mother, he will go to Auntie Asakawa’s shop and buy them for him.

Of course, he is definitely not spoiling his younger brother or something.

Just in a good mood.

Ok.

That's it.

Not noticing that he had subconsciously hummed a cheerful little tune, the elder brother, the number one "majestic" in the universe, walked briskly into the house.
