[Brother War] On the heroine's self-cultivation

Scooping the layer of whipped cream on the Irish coffee spoon by spoon, the sweetness is stained with the spiciness of whiskey and the bitterness of coffee, and the aftertaste is endless.Ema looked up at Zao who was sitting opposite, he frowned, and looked around worriedly from time to time, looking uneasy.

"Brother Zao...no one will find out." Ema was a little frustrated.Ever since she appeared in front of him, he didn't seem to have smiled, which made her feel that the other party didn't want to see her.

"Even if 90.00% will not be discovered." Zao said in a serious tone, "What if the [-]% probability happens?"

This tone is almost the same as that of Uehara Kazuya.If you told him about this, it would probably be the same reaction, well, it should be to scold her even more violently.

Depressed by the training, Ema took out the gift she bought for him, and said lazily, "I went to Kyoto to bring some gifts for my brothers, and these belong to Brother Zao."

Not looking at the other party's stunned look, she took a sip of the coffee with the cream scraped off, stood up and pressed the hat, "Since it's delivered, I'm going back now."

"Wait a minute." Zao grabbed her wrist.

Ema turned her head impatiently, "What else is there?" Anyone who came here to give gifts happily but was scolded would be disappointed.

The actions of the two people led to a discussion between the two girls at the table behind.

"Look at them..."

"Is it brother?"

"It doesn't look alike at all..."

"Could it be..."

"Looks like a good property..."

The two girls who lowered their voices giggled.

Zao let go of her hand in embarrassment, and Ema sat down obediently.She wasn't too angry about it.

Zao looked at the time on the watch, "Since you're here, let's have lunch together, my apartment is nearby, you can go play for a while in the afternoon, and I'll take you home in the evening."

He didn't ask Ema's opinions one by one, but directly made a plan. If someone else was talking now, Ema would definitely pour a cup of coffee on it first and then throw him a sentence "Who are you?" The relationship still depends on the other party's character and thinking - she has almost figured out the other party's temper since the last time she went to the temple, but she tolerated it and just stabbed with a half-smile.

"It seems that I have no chance to express my opinion."

The other party really raised his eyebrows, seemingly puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

"No, not at all. I mean you're very thoughtful."

Zao frowned again, seeming to have a toothache.

After eating a simple business lunch next to Zao's company, Ema found his residence according to Zao's instructions. As soon as she opened the door, two soft things jumped at her feet, and before she could react, she ran away .

Taking a closer look, two tabby kittens leaned together and looked at her warily.

As a single office worker with an unpleasant personality, he actually raised two kittens at home, can she think that he is actually very soft-hearted?

After closing the door, Ema looked around the room.In a narrow bachelor apartment, the kitchen is connected to the living room and dining room. There is a bedroom and a separate bathroom. Although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs, but it belongs to a single man after all, and there is always some mess within tolerance.

As for why she keeps emphasizing the word "single", she really can't imagine that Zao's incomprehensible character can get a girlfriend.

Thinking of Tsubaki and Azusa, who are fraternal brothers with him, Ema can't help but maliciously guess whether they have been destroyed by them when they were young, and they are prematurely aging.

Ema, who did not go to the master's bedroom, only wandered around the living room a few times, found Tsubaki and Azusa's DRAMA and Fengto's record from under the video recorder, and a crumpled book that probably hadn't read a few pages was pressed under the sofa cushion. novel.It seems that although he moved out alone, he still pays close attention to his brothers.

The photos displayed are limited, one is a group photo with Tsubaki and Azusa, one is a family portrait, and the other seems to be Zao who is still in college and Subaru who is in high school.Picking up the photo of Zao and Subaru both wearing sports vests with their sweaty faces crossing their shoulders, full of blood and passion, Ema pondered for a moment.

Sure enough, it was this old face when I was young.

Ema felt a little sympathetic to Zao.

Being idle and bored, Ema first watched some animations dubbed by Tsubaki and Azusa, and found that Azusa is indeed more natural and ingenious than Tsubaki in grasping emotions, but Tsubaki seems to be better in terms of appeal.Well... I can only say that their voices fully reveal their personalities.

Changing to Fengdou's CD, she doesn't comment on how the singing is, but the MV is shot very well, with a nine-point face and expressiveness, plus the screen production and story composition, the average score can be passed.

Sure enough, she lives by her face... After making a comment that would blow Futo's hair, Ema leaned on the sofa and flipped through Hikari's novel.This seems to be Hikari's latest book, probably written before he returned to Japan.

The story is about a boy whose father died in a car accident, but he found abnormal suture marks on his father's body. There are various signs that his father's accident happened because his organs matched with a certain important person.So the calm and intelligent young man endured the humiliation, became a very good physician, and launched his own revenge plan.

The story is wonderfully written, not to mention the interlocking ones. The character traits and behavior patterns of the characters on the stage are written very sharply and accurately. Every character is lifelike when you read it. The transition of the plot is very natural. Events that make people substituting into the story unconsciously.

Halfway through seeing it, the two cats that she had been hanging aside suddenly jumped onto her stomach as if they had agreed to an agreement, walked around a few steps as if surveying the terrain, and then lay down lazily wagging their tails.

"..." Two cats that subtly match the owner's attributes.

After touching the heads of the two cats a few times, Ema continued to immerse herself in the novel.

It wasn't until the doorbell rang suddenly that Ema realized that she had been looking at it all afternoon.

Before she could open the door, the two cats that had been lying on her all afternoon jumped down lightly, and quickly ran to the door, turning around and meowing.

Ema walked over slowly, deliberately anxiously opened the door after the two who started to scratch the door.

The tall figure outside the door instantly enveloped her in the shadows.

"I'm back." He said while bending over to change his shoes, "Chun, Zi, stay away from me first." Zao, who was made unsteady by the two cats, carried the cat by its back and threw it aside.

She hesitated, "Welcome back."

Chun and Azusa?Jujube, how lonely you are... Ema suddenly had a feeling that he didn't want to move out by himself, but silently quit in the face of the two inseparable identical twins who felt that they couldn't squeeze in.

She shed tears of sympathy for the poor fraternal egg.

"Are you bored here this afternoon?" Zao threw the briefcase on the sofa and walked into the bedroom while loosening his tie.

Ema didn't follow in, but sat down on the sofa, and replied through the half-closed door: "No, Brother Guang's book is very good-looking." She was as sinister as a human being.

"Did you read it? I bought it for a long time and didn't have time to watch it."

"Hmm. Brother Guang's book, Chun and Azusa's dubbing, and Fengdou's CD, will Zao buy all of them?"

"Brothers have their own way. Whether you like it or not, count it as support."

She couldn't help thinking of the scene where Tsubaki and Yusuke frowned and went to buy Fengto's CD, and Futo listened to Tsubaki and Azusa's dubbing with a look of disdain.This group of brothers, the contradictions belong to the contradictions, but they all have a sense of family.

When Zao came out of the bedroom again, she had already changed out of her work clothes, wearing a light-colored suit and shirt with the low-key and luxurious Nishijin tie that Ema gave her.

It has to be said that jujube dressed up like this has virtually eliminated the sharpness a lot, and it seems a little gentler.

"Is it okay?" Zao coughed twice and asked Ema how he felt.

Ema gave him a thumbs up, "It's so handsome." She praised her vision and taste.

He smiled quickly, which surprised Ema who saw his smile for the first time.Jujube's appearance, although it must be a high-quality product produced by the Asahina family, is a bit unfriendly because it is too serious and old-fashioned.The brief smile just now made him reveal some inadvertent shyness and tenderness.

"Come on, let's take you to dinner."

Without the routine inquiry of "what do you like to eat", Zao drove straight to the destination. After getting off the car, Ema found a Chinese restaurant called "Qomolangma".

This is a small two-story building. A string of red lanterns hangs outside the store. The Chinese signboard is particularly eye-catching. Walking into the restaurant, the antique furnishings such as Chinese tableware, blue and white porcelain, lattice windows, and Chinese cabinets make the whole restaurant full of Chinese characteristics. It leads to the second floor. Banners reading "Five blessings come to the door" and "Food is the first thing for the people" are also posted on the corridors of the village.

Because Zao had already made a reservation, the waiter wearing a cheongsam and wearing a ball head led them directly to the window seat on the second floor.

Fortunately, Zao was not aggressive enough to order directly, and gave the menu to Ema.She picked out a few signature dishes on the first few pages and returned the menu to Zao, and Zao reported a few names without even looking at them.

"Brother Zao often comes here?" This posture is familiar at first glance.

Zao nodded, "Because I like to eat Chinese food, and the taste here is good. I heard Zi said that your taste is similar to mine, so I think you should like it here."

It turns out that I asked someone about her preferences.Ema murmured in her heart.I thought he was really following his own ideas.It may be because of the nature of his work and his work is very planned, so he doesn't like to do things that he thinks are redundant or meaningless. It's just that he pursues efficiency too much, which seems a little unreasonable.

Slowly analyzing the other party's character from various details shown, this has been a habit she has formed in her two lifetimes.

"How is Brother Zao's work now? The sales department is busy, right?" She has been at Asahina's house for half a year, and today is the third time she has seen him.

"It's okay, I just got promoted to section chief, and I'm still familiar with many things." Zao replied lightly.

He said it lightly, but Ema knew that things were not simple.

Anyway, having lived in Japan for so many years, she also knows that in Japan, a country with strict hierarchy, young people with insufficient qualifications are rarely entrusted with important tasks. Not only do they question the experience and abilities of young people, but they also have to take into account the existence of hierarchical concepts.The company's promotion is based on seniority, not based on individual ability.Although this level promotion system will bury many talents, it can also maintain a relative stability.

Zao was only 24 or [-] years old. At his age, he was able to obtain the position of section chief from the fiercely competitive sales department in such a large game company. His work ability and handling methods are evident.

Zao felt a little uncomfortable at Ema, who was showing "awe-inspiring" expression, "I just finished two more important projects, so I'm lucky."

Ema ignored the other party's self-effacing, and thought for a while, "Speaking of which, Brother Zao seems to be the only serious office worker in the family."

There are many brothers in the Asahina family, and there are many natural occupations. Doctors, lawyers, monks, writers, voice actors, stylists, athletes, idols, actors, there is no duplication in different fields, like Zao, who normally works from nine to five in the company White-collar workers are somewhat special.

Zao's face changed slightly, looking at Ema's eyes flickering coldly, "Has anyone ever told you that your senses are very keen?"

Well?Ema does not deny Zao's statement.Because she often exercises her ability to figure out roles by observing others, she can subconsciously collect information from people around her for backup. From this point of view, she is actually very similar to Guang.But she really didn't care too much this time, she just sighed unintentionally, but did she accidentally get involved?

Some pictures related to Zao flashed through my mind quickly, Tsubaki and Azusa have nothing to do... Special Subaru... Photos in the apartment... Occupation...

Ema pieced together some information.Jujube and Subaru used to have a good relationship, why?Because two people have a common hobby, maybe basketball, maybe other sports.The relationship between Subaru and Zao is mediocre now, as can be seen from the fact that Zao actually tried to learn about Subaru through her when they first met.Why did it get worse?What will divide them?Is it because of... occupation?

Subaru is still playing basketball, but Zao is an office worker.One sticks to the dream, but the other gives up halfway?

Glancing at Zao who was looking suspiciously, Ema tilted her head to look at the red wooden lattice on the window.Do you pretend you don't know anything and don't touch the other party's bad luck, or tear it apart and then solve the other party?

The author has something to say:
