What if my brother plans to destroy the whole family?

My sister is a little abnormal. ——This is what Xia Youjie vaguely felt when he was very young, and it became more and more obvious when he grew up.

At the age of ten, after his parents divorced and followed his father, Xia Youjie met his father's remarried object and the children brought by the remarried object.

The other party is called Yangcai, a girl, three years older than him, with black shoulder-length hair, and a pair of blue eyes... It doesn't look easy to get along with.

This is also a problem that will definitely arise in the case of a reorganized family with children. Before meeting people, Xia Youjie heard from his father that he has no psychological resistance to the new mother and new sister, but it seems that the other party is different. .

At least for this first meeting, the other party's expression was a bit weird, at least it was definitely not welcome.

Xia Youjie didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and even smiled politely when the other party looked over.

If the other party is really difficult to get along with... then it's better to keep a distance, it's not difficult.

only……

"Yangcai, what's wrong?"

"It's okay...Dad, and a younger brother. That...Dad, did you bring such a younger brother with you?"

The new sister screamed happily, but the problem was quite strange.

Xia Youjie was taken aback for a moment, and he became confused—could it be that he was worried that his father would bring too many children?

"Well, I only have Ajie as a son."

"..."

"What's the matter, Yangcai?"

"It's nothing...just, I like my brother very much."

Then, the elder sister showed an obviously forced smile at herself.

Xia Youjie felt... In fact, there is really no need to force it.

After all, it is a reorganized family. Although they are called younger brothers, they have no relationship before.

It seems that Sister Yangcai doesn't like her very much, but the other party seems to be willing to put on a show in order to maintain the peace of the family, which is enough.He will also cooperate.

So Xia Youjie also returned a smile.

Then, Xia Youjie realized that he seemed to be wrong.

At the beginning, when Xia Youyangcai expressed his friendship and said that he would go to and from school together, Xia Youjie was hesitant.He actually wanted to say that the other party didn't have to force himself to do this, but seeing the other party's hard work, he felt that it was not good to refuse.

In essence, Xia Youjie, who is only ten years old, is the type who is not good at rejecting other people's good intentions.

Anyway, he was going to and from school, and if the other party showed reluctance at some point, it would not be too late to talk about it... Xia Youjie thought to himself.

Then, he didn't wait for such a day at all.

And I don't know why, Xia Youyang Cai began to appear in club activities and extracurricular studies...

Only then did Xia Youjie realize that it wasn't that this elder sister didn't like him, it seemed that she liked him a little too much.

No... I don't know if I like it, but it's obvious that I have invested too much emotion in myself.

Although he doesn't know what this feeling is.

He couldn't help but secretly asked his stepmother and sister if they had any younger brothers before.I always feel that only sister Yangcai had a younger brother who died young before that can solve his confusion.

And the stepmother also said that Xia Youyangcai has a cousin who is three years younger.

Xia Youjie was a little relieved, he thought it might be some kind of empathy.

Of course, if he asked further, he would know that the cousin's name was Miyamura Isumi, and the two cousins ​​had only met three or four times in total.

In short, Xia Youjie, whose confusion has been explained a little bit, felt that something was wrong when faced with all-round elder sister's care and love, but he still endured it.

My parents are still joking there.

"That's great... I was worried that Yangcai and Ajie wouldn't get along. It's great that Yangcai likes Ajie so much."

"Where, I still think that Ajie is so obedient, and Yangcai is so clingy to his younger brother Ajie that it doesn't bother him. It is Ajie who is tolerant."

...No, rather than tolerance, it might be better to say that I don't know how to refuse.Although it won't cause any trouble or distress, it still feels a little heavy... Xia Youjie thought with some distress, and then saw his sister pick up a shrimp and put it in his bowl.

... always feel more heavy!

Xia Youjie has been able to see things that don't exist since he was a child.These bothered him to a certain extent.

It was like when he was in the sixth grade of elementary school, he met the curse spirit.

When he ran away, he bumped into his sister.

The other party didn't ask anything, rushed over and dragged him away.

"What happened just now, Xiaojie? Is someone chasing you? Did someone bully you?"

The other party seemed to think it was bullying on campus, Xia Youjie thought it was fine, so he didn't need to explain.Of course, he still wouldn't say much: "...No, nothing happened."

The other party clearly showed an expression of disbelief: "...Really? Don't lie to me. Tell my sister, and I will help you deal with it."

Xia Youjie looked at her, and after a long silence, he asked what he had been confused all along: "Sister Yangcai, why are you so kind to me?"

This really made him think for a long time.

If it was pretending, he couldn't figure out the reason, after all, the other party had persisted in this way for three years.

But if it is said that he likes this younger brother very much, it seems that he is not.He could feel, rather than liking, nervous.I don't know why he is nervous.

But if it's empathy...it's even more incomprehensible.He knew that the other party was only a cousin, and that cousin was still alive and well, and the relationship between the two was not considered close.If you really want a younger brother, wouldn't it be better to have a cousin who was related by blood before?

After his questioning, the other party just said weakly: "...Because I am a sister."

Xia Youjie couldn't help but retort: ​​"But it's not his own."

"But I'm still your older sister! An older sister has an obligation to protect her younger brother!"

...Why are you so obsessed with the relationship between siblings?

Xia Youjie was puzzled, and also felt that there was no solution to this question.

If you want to talk about what Xia Youyangcai entrusts and projects on himself...Xia Youjie also thinks it is not.

Apart from the excessive focus and tension on herself, Xia Youyangcai's image is very positive and even perfect.

When he was in middle school, Xia Youyangcai was already in high school, and his grades had always been among the best. He had set the goal of Dongda University since the first year of high school and was working hard, and the deviation value was always high.In club activities, she is also the women's karate champion in the Kanto region.

He is also good-looking. Although he is not the kind of gentle and easy-to-talk personality, he is serious, responsible and organized in his work, so he is very popular in the class.

...Everyone except those who know her will say one thing about her—brother control.

This made Xia Youjie, who is the "brother", feel bald, and even began to complain about why his sister's good and cold personality must lead to the collapse of the personality at this point.

It's not that he hasn't tried hard, trying to reason with people, explaining that her behavior will burden him.The other party listened, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that this guy had just changed from paying attention openly to following secretly.

... How can I gently remind my sister to realize that she is on the verge of committing a crime?

But since the victim of the crime is himself, and it is impossible for him to call the police, it seems that my sister still won't reflect on it.

So Xia Youjie tried to reason for the second time: "I don't need your protection."

"...But I'd be worried."

"...No need." This is what Xia Youjie was most confused about - why is my sister always worried about something happening to me?

In comparison, he felt that his sister was the most dangerous.

"...Just these few years, you won't be able to wait until you go to high school."

There is still one and a half years until he enters high school... Xia Youjie sighed, and at the end he finally made an agreement—"Then let's talk about it, I will protect you when I am able to protect you, and then you will be able to protect you." Stop being like this."

A year and a half will pass quickly.

I don't know if this conversation played a role, or because Xia Youyangcai's attention has dropped a lot because of the pressure of the entrance exam to Dongda University, and he doesn't feel so suffocated.

This made Xia Youjie very happy, thinking that his sister had finally found something more important, and would not pay too much attention to herself... Then everything was broken when he went to a high school to become a magician.

Knowing his sister's close attention, he had to make it clear to his sister about going to a high school and get her consent... He also knew that his sister would definitely object at first, but he didn't expect the opposition to be so fierce.

So intense... Negative emotions so intense that they attracted the curse spirit.

Although he got rid of the curse spirit, Xia Youjie was very worried about his sister's condition.

After all... Although sometimes it feels a little too much, but after six years, he is a little used to it.

And he knew that his sister was purely concerned about him, without any other factors.She just doesn't know why, she just cares about herself.

It's not that I want to control myself, but I just want to know my every move and my life.Will not interfere or prevent myself from doing things, but will always pay attention to myself.

...Uh, thinking about it carefully, it really is a bit abnormal.

Although he sometimes complains in private, he is indeed inseparable from his sister.

Even though he has been feeling a lot of pressure, Xia Youjie doesn't hate his sister, he even likes it.

Because since she was a child, her sister has been by her side all the time, and she will appear every time he is slightly depressed.

The dishes she cooks are delicious, even better than those made by my mother.

He didn't like the dreary and hot summer at first, but his sister did because her name had the symbol of summer in it and she was born in summer.She said that summer has bathrobes, fireworks and plain noodles.Then I took him to the temple fair to watch the fireworks and make plain noodles at home.

Because of her existence, he felt that Xia Tian was also quite good.

They are not related by blood, but if anyone is the person who is closest to him and knows him best in this world, then Xia Youjie will say the name of Xia Youyangcai without hesitation.

Even...he felt that his sister had a tendency to be paranoid and manic, and it was limited to him, and this was really dangerous.

But he really didn't expect that going to a college by himself would have such a big impact.

Xia Youjie once really thought about going to the college to appease his sister's mental state first, because he was worried that his sister would have problems.

Fortunately, the other party's emotions stabilized in the end... Although there are still a lot of demands.

For example, I have to go home during the holidays, I have to call once every two days, and I must tell her about my daily life and things in the magic world.

Xia Youjie actually thought that nothing else mattered, except that the once-a-day phone call was a little too much... But considering that my sister originally wanted to call once a day, it seems that once a day is still okay.

Although the frequency of this call would make my sister's roommate misunderstand that he is her boyfriend, but after hearing the roommate say that my sister went to audit psychology, Xia Youjie felt strange and inexplicably moved.

In short... Let's just assume that my sister's condition is improving!

After entering the college, in fact, everything went in a good direction.

Whether it's his life in the college, or his sister's side... Although the phone call every two days and each phone call lasts for more than half an hour, others will cast doubtful glances.

Similarly, Xia Youjie was tortured by his classmates.

"It's not my girlfriend, it's my sister." Xia Youjie looked helpless, "I made an agreement with her to call her once every two days to report on my recent life."

Xia Youjie's classmate Wujo Wu looked surprised: "Your sister is really scary, don't you feel suffocated by this stalking?"

"...It's actually not bad." Xia Youjie said in a sincere tone, "It's much better than when I was a child."

"..." Gojo Satoru thought about it seriously, and said in an affirmative tone, "Your sister is a psychopath!"

Xia Youjie: "...Don't say that about my sister."

Xia Youjie now hopes that his sister will not go to the high school to find him.

It's not that he wants to stay away from his sister completely, it's just because...he feels that his friend and his sister are definitely not in the right place.

Let's not talk about the speech identifying psychopaths, and... one of them is a sweet party, and the other is a salty party.

After returning from vacation, Xia Youjie answered a series of questions from his sister as agreed.

until the last question.

"The words of the curse spirit must be difficult to eat, right?" the other party asked, blue eyes staring at him with a bit of worry.

Xia Youjie couldn't help being a little silent.

True, he didn't like the smell of vomit-like rags.

However, my sister was the first person who would ask him this question... probably the only one who would ask this question.

He smiled and said casually, "Well, it's a curse spirit after all, so it won't taste good."

"Although you are not picky eaters, who would want to eat unpalatable things all the time... Does swallowing it have any effect on you? No, even if it doesn't affect you, if you feel unpalatable and don't want to eat it at any time, don't eat it. Don't force yourself." Xia Youyangcai's face was full of concern, as if the next sentence should be - why don't we drop out of school and not go to college?

...Don't treat him like a child...I'm afraid it's useless to say that, right?

The other party is likely to reply, no matter whether it is a child or not, you can not eat what you don't want to eat.

If it is necessary to explain the spell...it seems to make my sister even more against the magic world...

In the end, Xia Youjie said with some helplessness: "Well, I see, sister."

Then, he saw the other party smile, as if he seemed very happy because of his response.

For no reason, Xia Youjie suddenly remembered what his sister said when she told her why she opposed him joining the college.

——[I can study hard to be admitted to Dongda University, and strive to be the best Nabo among ordinary people, thinking that I can be a good example for you and a good sister.But I'm just an ordinary person, I can't be a conjurer, what you have stepped into is a field that I will never be able to reach and know nothing about...Xiaojie, what I worry about is that after you enter the high school, what will happen to you? I am getting further and further apart. 】

…why is every effort made to be his example?Why worry about getting further and further away from yourself?

Although they are sisters and brothers, it is impossible for them to be together forever in the future. Surely the relationship will become estranged in the future?It's better to say that ordinary siblings are not close even if they are real siblings...

"Sister..." Xia Youjie opened his mouth, suddenly wanting to ask these questions.

"Ok?"

"...No, nothing." He finally said nothing.

Because... I am worried that something will happen.

But... Although they have been together for more than six years and have a very close relationship, sometimes Xia Youjie still feels that he doesn't understand his sister well.

The most important thing is that although he knows that his sister has strange emotions for him, he has never understood what this emotion is.

For example, because at home, there is only one bathroom in total, and sometimes there will be embarrassing situations, like now...

"Ah, Jie, you're taking a bath." Xia Youyangcai looked at her younger brother and gave her a thumbs up, "You're in good shape, have you been exercising well?"

Xia Youjie, who had just stood up and was startled by the door being opened by the other party, immediately sat back down: "..."

When he came out of the bath, Xia Youjie stood in front of his sister with a dark face: "Sister, don't you have anything to say to me?"

The other party looked over, with a hesitant expression on his face, and hesitantly replied: "Uh... much, thank you?"

Xia Youjie: "...Normal people should say sorry!"

So he really doesn't understand his sister at all in this respect!
