[Brother Wars] Thorns

"Go straight, there is a door ahead, be careful, the door is made of glass."

"There will be a left turn in about three steps, be careful."

"There is water on the ground ahead, be careful when stepping on it."

There are many reminders like this, and they have been with her all the way since she stepped out of the door today.Naye walked cautiously according to the man's words, only to feel that the man's wild and caring voice was filling her ears.

The rustling sound of intertwined branches and leaves moved slightly, and they were all very close to her, but she was not hit at all. Presumably, she must have been lifted and pushed away thoughtfully by the man beside her.

Feeling warm in her heart, Naye moved a small step closer to the man, so that the man would reduce his workload.

Sensing Naye's actions, the man calmly brought her closer to him, and said in a deep voice as if explaining: "The road ahead is beginning to narrow."

Naiye, who didn't expect a man to have such thoughts, didn't notice anything strange, showed a shallow smile, nodded lightly as a thank you, and said to herself, "I'm really sorry to trouble you today, Mr. Zao."

"It's not a problem, it's what I should do."

Nazao Asahina raised her eyebrows lightly, her bright orange hair stood out against the backdrop of green.

"It's you, your eyes are not healed yet, so why did you agree to come out together?"

When he went back to the apartment last night, just as everyone was there, Xiao Mi suddenly said, "Let's go out and play together tomorrow" while chatting!Then he looked at them brightly with expectant eyes, and really couldn't bear to refuse, but thinking of Naye's current situation, he almost blurted out that he refused.

——And he noticed that several of the brothers sitting around were also showing embarrassment, seeing that opening their mouths was about to break Xiao Mi's hopes.

In addition to Ema, they also kept Xiao Ya away from Nai Ye's temporary blindness.Firstly, he was worried that Xiao Mi's excitement would leak out if he was not tight-lipped, and secondly, he didn't want to make Xiao Mi worry about it.

But before they could say anything, Ema's voice sounded first.

【If possible, let's go out together. 】

A soft but clear voice sounded, making each of them look at her in amazement.

[Recently, a lot of things have happened at home, I think... it's good to go out and relax. 】

The most important thing is that she sees that oh kneading sauce has been staying in the room recently, and she hopes to take this opportunity to take oh kneading sauce and go out to get some fresh air together. She just happened to be sick, what if something happens to her in the room?

The beloved younger brother and younger sister in the family had already spoken, and they couldn't say any more words of rejection, but quickly finalized their itinerary to the Botanical Garden.But at that time, they didn't expect that when Naye was told about it by them, she agreed immediately.

"Is there any reason why you must come?"

"...No." Naye shook her head lightly, "I just think that if she doesn't show her face in front of Ema, maybe she should be suspicious. I don't want her to feel guilty if she finds out about it. .”

Even doing so invisibly increases the risk of being noticed by Ema.

The palm holding Naiye couldn't help but tighten, and quickly returned to its original state before Naiye didn't notice it. Asahina's eyes flashed with pity, and she was considerate and meticulous for this girl and for her sister.

He originally didn't support Naye's keeping this matter from Ema, but he finally compromised under the patient persuasion of this girl. Presumably, the other brothers probably had the same reason.

Because Zao was immersed in his own thoughts, he neglected to report the road conditions without paying attention. Naye only felt his feet slipped and fell straight backward!

"careful!"

Zao hurriedly came back to her senses, and with the arm that had been vainly holding Naye, she used force to hook her into her arms, and hugged her full.

The long brown hair swept a gust of wind at low altitude, and fell silently on Zao's arm, and with Zao's slightly swaying hair tip, Naye's breathing gradually calmed down.

"It's my fault that caused you to almost fall."

"But Mr. Zao stopped me in time, I should thank you."

Even if Naye said this, Zao couldn't relieve the self-blame in his heart, Ying Ting's brows were tightly frowned, and he fell silent.

Naye gently broke away from Zao's embrace, breathed in the fresh air overflowing in the botanical garden, and said with some comfort: "I'm a little tired, Mr. Zao, shall we find a place to sit for a while?"

Knowing that Naye's move has something to do with him, Zao raised the decibel slightly to make her voice sound more energetic, and also to reassure the girl: "Then let's go this way."

Zao stopped walking after taking Naye to a resting place specially repaired in the botanical garden, looked around and confirmed that it was a quiet place suitable for Naye to rest, Zao left first to go to Buy a bottle of water for Naye.

Unexpectedly, when Nazao Asahi came back with water, the pretty girl was nowhere to be seen on the bench where Naye was sitting, and only a man with long hair loosely tied behind his head was left leaning on the back of the chair with a relaxed face. .

"Brother Guang, why are you here?"

Familiarly, Zao took the water from Zao's hand, which was not concealing his astonishment, and after opening it neatly and taking a sip, Asahina Ko said with a half-smile: "Why did I come here? In fact, what I want to ask is my sister. Are you missing?"

She blushed, but Zao didn't deny it, and continued, "What about her?"

With a slight movement in his heart, Guang also knew that his younger brother was completely trapped, but he shrugged with an extremely relaxed smile on his face, and said, "I asked my brother to take her away just now."

"What? Why don't you stop him!"

The words blurted out subconsciously caused Guang to look sideways, showing a strange smile: "Why should I stop them for you?"

"Nanoye's eyes are not good, of course it's better to rest in place."

Zao's explanation was a little pale, and he also knew that his selfishness was being revealed, so he couldn't help but tilt his head away from Guang's gaze.

"This reason is not valid at all, Xiao Zao." Guang's smile brought out the seductiveness of women's clothing, and the teasing element in his voice also increased, "You have taken your sister to many places today."

"That is……"

"Besides, it's not impulsive to ask brother to take away sister today."

"Brother Guang?" What does this mean?

"Mr. Yao, don't you have work today?"

She was resting just now, when Mr. Yao suddenly appeared from nowhere, mysteriously said that he wanted to take her to see something, and then pulled her up to leave.

Slowly leading her around the botanical garden, even if she couldn't see Mr. Yao's expression, she could guess that it must be very leisurely. She almost doubted whether what Mr. Yao said he would take her to see was a lie.

He raised his right hand and threw down the arm that was resting on her left shoulder in a very natural posture. Unexpectedly, within a moment, that annoying arm came up again in a very familiar way.

"I asked for leave today," Yao casually said the usual sweet words, "For the sake of my sister, Oni-chan must put aside work first~"

"...Cut, if Mr. wants to be lazy, he has to use me as an excuse." Naye retorted, paused, she stopped, "I want to go back, Mr. Zao won't see you later I'd be worried."

"Don't worry, someone will tell him." Pushing Naye and continuing to move forward, she wished she were as far away from Zao and the others as possible.

"?"

"If I say yes, there is. Do you still believe me?" This little idiot didn't care, but he didn't even notice that there was a lot of excitement behind them today.

"In a sense, Mr. Yao really has very low credibility." Naye said a little bluntly, but she believed in what she said in her heart, and the steps taken by her also reduced the resistance.

"Sir, where are we going?"

Although she couldn't see it, she could feel it. They seemed to have gone deeper into the garden.

The sunlight here seems to be a little smaller than before, or maybe, because the trees here are more dense, Naye feels that his body is getting colder, not as warm as before.

Yao stopped, took off his coat and put it on Naye's shoulders, with a deep smile: "Is it cold?"

"It's a little bit." Naye said bluntly without making excuses.

"Then here we are."

"You said 'then', Mr. Yao, you don't have any purpose at all, you really lied to me, right!" Naye asked triumphantly as if he had caught the handle of Yao, "It's very difficult for a patient to follow you around. Those who are immoral want to be sir!"

"Who says I'm lying to you?" You want to raise your eyebrows with a smile, and ask Naye, "I really have something to show you."

"Then tell me, what do you want to show me?"

The girl Ci Jingyubai had a sly smile on her face, full of the meaning of "just say you're lying to me, and you're still quibbling". Although the brown pupils couldn't be seen, the agile look made the man slightly dazed , as if he really saw himself in the girl's eyes.

Couldn't help it, Asahi Nakaname stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Naiye's eyes. Seeing Naiye's indifferent look, he took it back with some self-deprecating embarrassment. Juaner: "Why not, here, it's a woodpecker, sister sauce~"

woodpecker?Naye was so stunned that she slipped her words, and it took a long time to reply: "Mr., don't you write a draft when you tell lies? This is obviously a botanical garden. Where can there be any woodpeckers—birds?"

"Yes~"

Before the girl could finish speaking, she pressed her head to his chest. Without realizing it, the girl hit the man's chest with great force due to inertia, making a muffled sound, which also made the man "hiss" lightly. With a sound.

"Have you heard that rather loud woodpecker sound, isn't it just a woodpecker?"

With a chuckle and a joke, the vibration in her chest was transmitted directly to Naye's body due to the close distance between the two of them embracing at this moment. With a gentle expression, he spoke in a deep and ambiguous voice with a mellow and elegant voice——

"Hey, little sister sauce, did you find the little bug that made me sick at the place closest to my heart?"

Sir, this is...

With her forehead pressed against Kaname's chest, Naye could even feel the ups and downs of his breathing. Therefore, after he asked her that sentence, she clearly felt his instant tension. Body.

Mr. Yao, who has been in the field for a long time among women, should have cultivated an indestructible body, is he nervous after saying this sentence that is similar to a confession?

Naye's breath suffocated slightly, and then slowly began to rise and fall again.

only……

"The worm didn't find it, but I did. This is really a tree with a thick bark. It must be a very old tree, right? Mr. thick-skinned old tree?"

Looking up her face and raising her head, Nanoha asked curiously with an innocent face.

"Wow, are you so rude to Yikeshu sister sauce?"

"Then how should you be judged, Mr. Yao, who still has the desire to flirt with your injured and blind sister? A vile and shameless pervert?"

"Actually, I think sister Jiang, you have no weakness except temporary blindness." Still speaking very viciously to him.

"Thank you for the compliment, I will try my best to overcome my only weakness as soon as possible!" I don't want to give you any chance to take advantage of it!

It's really not reconciled to being rejected like this.

Asahina was about to raise her hand to brush the bangs on her forehead, smiled slightly bitterly, paused for a while, and finally continued to ask without giving up.

"Hey sister sauce, do you hate me?"

"……Do not……"

Tilting her head slightly, Naye responded in a low voice.

Yao let go of most of his heart, and continued: "I think so, in fact—"

"……like."

"what?"

At the beginning, I couldn't react to the second half of Naye's slowness by more than a beat. After thinking about it, Asahina couldn't help being frustrated, and almost wanted to catch Naye and ask the bottom line: "Sister-chan, you are right." Be clear, do you 'don't like' me? Or 'no (hate), like' me?"

These two meanings are very different, sister-chan, you should quickly tell him the correct sentence punctuation position!

It's even more immoral to make him change his mood like this! Hey!

Ignoring the extent of the entanglement caused by her own words, Naiye broke away from Kaname's arms, took two steps to the left by feeling, and touched a thick tree.

The surface of the tree body is very rough, and it is slightly itchy in the palm of the hand, but this does not prevent Naye from going up the tree body to feel for the branches and leaves.

After a while, Naiye, who was concentrating on exploring, forgot about Asahina Kaname.

Seeing Naiye concentrating on the tree, she rubbed her chin with some taste.

He remembered that sister sauce said that he was an old tree, right? If so, compared with the obviously old tree in front of her, shouldn't he be more attractive?

Actually abandoning him to the other, as expected, the blind sister Jiang also lost her sharp and excellent judgment.

Better get better soon, sister Jiang's eyes, otherwise, he might be eliminated for some unknown reason!

Thinking about it seriously, Asahina wanted to nod solemnly to strengthen the accuracy of her thoughts, but at the end, seeing Naye's face exuding a long-lost relaxed and comfortable smile because of the scent emanating from the tree. With a shallow smile, Yao immediately put all his entangled problems behind him.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise because of Naye's smile, and Asahina couldn't help but think of Kiori who came to him two days ago, and he still clearly remembers what he said to him that day, which impressed him the most. What moved me was Kiori's sentence——

[Brother Yao, thank you. 】

[I say this does not mean that I forgive you, but I can already forgive you for what you did back then. 】

[I admit that your lies protected me back then, but this does not mean that I am grateful for your lies.In fact, I don't think it needs to exist at all these days. 】

[So, there is no need to make any more fuss in the future. 】

[I will keep the cross, but I want you, if I find out that you still deceive me in the future, I will not be polite to you again. 】

No, no, he doesn't need to recall the words that follow at all, he just needs to remember that Kiori, who once hated and resented him, finally said "thank you" to him. Enough.

——Finally, his waiting was not in vain. Although Kiori has not been able to return to his original gentle and delicate temperament, he has finally begun to take the first step out of the past and accept the present.

——Although, he was not the one who solved him in the end.

The left hand couldn't help touching the position on the right chest, Kaname Asahina's eyes were full of tenderness and pampering, and he murmured gratefully: "Thank you, Naye."

Really, thank you.

He originally thought that the knot that would tie him forever in this life was so easily untied by you. He couldn't tell whether it was more frustration or more gratitude, but no matter which one it is, it doesn't matter if he likes you more .

Every time, you will make him like you more, and he doesn't know that it is dangerous to go on like this. After all, so many likes accumulate and you don't know when it will become love, especially for someone like him. For a person, every moment he thinks about you, his brain is giving him a warning signal.

But he still can't contain the speed of his fall, just as he is eager for you to respond to his feelings.

only……

Since you are not ready yet, he will continue to wait.

Wait until you are willing to make a decision.

The wind picked up suddenly, and the leaves rustled in the breeze.

There seemed to be a sigh that escaped suddenly in the wind, so light that it was almost inaudible, and it disappeared quickly.

Asahina looked in surprise at where Naye was, and saw that her description was the same as before, and she didn't seem to have sighed at all, so she just thought that she had heard it wrong and didn't take it to heart.

It finally made her feel better. Today's trip to the botanical garden seemed to be the right one.

Nanoha, I hope you get better soon.

The author has something to say: Accidentally made the page bigger [cover your face], so reconcile in the next chapter [Free of beating]!

Well, in fact, the role of Zao Ni should not have been included in the text, but you called Zao Ni too loudly, so you accidentally added his scene...

But but not!This can’t conceal that this chapter is the home of the mud~ the woodpecker came out of a flash of inspiration~ By the way, how about the confession of mud this time [Star Eyes] is not a straight punch, but a very euphemistic sprinkle! (>^ω^<)
