"Brother..."

"What's wrong? Kyousuke?"

"It always feels like we haven't seen each other very much recently."

"Hey, is there? Don't we meet every day for breakfast?"

"By the time you had breakfast recently, I had already gone to school."

"Really? I always thought you were still there."

"My sense of existence...is it already that low?"

"Just kidding. I just thought you would be busy at the end of the semester, so I didn't want to disturb you. Speaking of which, I'm going to be in my third year of high school soon. Have you decided on a school?"

"I guess I have it. It's the one near my home."

"Oh, let's work hard. If there's anything you don't understand about studies... Forget it, you'll ask Manami anyway."

"Don't say it so misleadingly."

"You two..."

While Shota and Kyosuke were having a long-lost conversation, Kano's mother suddenly interrupted and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, Mom." Kyosuke said with some doubts, "What's wrong?"

"I happen to have something to ask you two."

Kano's mother glanced back and forth between Shouta and Kyosuke for a while, and then asked, "Do you know what Kirino is doing recently?"

Xiangta and Kyousuke looked at each other, shook their heads in doubt, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The child has always kept his mobile phone in his hand recently. It is also when eating, when going out, and even when he is taking a bath, he always presses the buttons of the mobile phone. Does anyone know why?"

Kyosuke glanced at Shota, and this little move was directly captured by Kano's mother.

"Shota, you must know something, right?"

"...No, I don't know at all." Xiangta shook his head hastily, but he and Kirino promised not to tell his family for the time being.

"Maybe it's an email? Like a friend from school or something."

"really……"

Kano's mother nodded, and said with a sense of enlightenment: "Did Tong Nai have a boyfriend?"

"puff--"

Xiangta accidentally spat out a mouthful of water, and quickly said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Kano's mother stared at Shota with the scrutiny she was best at.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Yeah, who knows. Hehehehehehe..."

"Okay. It seems that I can't ask you anything." Kanai's mother seemed to give up and said: "Really, children nowadays are really more and more unwilling to communicate with their parents."

"..."

After Kano's mother left, Kyosuke whispered, "Is that guy okay?"

"It should be fine..." Shota's tone was also a little uncertain.In the past few days, although he has been at home, Tong Nao has not even had a few face-to-face fights except when eating.Not to mention commit streams.However, it was obvious that her body seemed to be a little stretched—she always felt like she was going to catch a cold.

"Let's not mention it for now. By the way, Manami and I will go to visit the New Year's shrine in the evening. Brother, will you come with me?"

"Hey, isn't it a separate world for the two of you? What are you calling me for?"

"Don't get me wrong. Brother, don't you know my relationship with Manami?"

"A childhood sweetheart destined to be together?"

"Because we are too familiar, we will never get together!"

"..." Xiangta was silent for a while, and then said: "You guy, don't you have a dissatisfaction, and you are also interested in other people?"

"To say something interesting..."

"Sure enough!" Xiangta said seriously, "Who is it?"

"Hehehe. Don't you think that model classmate Kirino is very cute?"

"Oh... You said Ayase, she is really cute."

Shota nodded, then picked up the tissue box on the table and threw it at Kyosuke's face.

"Hey, brother, why are you so fierce. Hey, are you treating that girl..."

Kyosuke looked at Shota with malicious eyes.

"What are you talking about. I just feel that such a cute girl is too wasteful to be with you." Shota pointed at Kyosuke and said, "You are too ordinary!"

"This is too hurtful! Forget it, let's skip this question first. Brother, are you going tonight or not?"

"Hi, hi. Since you have invited me so sincerely, then I will reluctantly agree to you."

"Don't talk to me in the same tone as Kirino!"

After dinner, Kirino still locks himself in the room sullenly.Even though Shota invited her to go with her, she shirked the New Year's visit by saying that "the novel should be the first task".

"Well, Happy New Year, Manami."

"Happy New Year! Brother!"

Manami still bowed to Shota full of vigor. Today, she is wearing a simple kimono. Although she doesn't feel amazing, it gives people an unexpected warm feeling.

"I really envy Kyousuke, who has such a good childhood sweetheart."

Shota praised Manami: "It's been a few days and she's so beautiful again."

"Brother, don't praise me, I will be embarrassed."

Mana shyly said, "I'm already an old lady."

"Haha, that's because Kyosuke is uninterested."

"Hey, you two don't ignore my existence."

"Sorry, Kyosuke-chan! I haven't seen my brother for a long time, so I'm a little excited."

"Don't call me like that." Kyosuke scratched the hair on the back of his head with some annoyance, and said, "If I had known that, I wouldn't have called my brother out."

"Hmm. It's too late now."

Xiangta walked in front of the two of them and said, "Let's go, there are a lot of people queuing up tonight. If you don't go early, no one knows when it will be our turn."

On the streets today, there are mostly people who come to worship—especially young people, and basically all girls wear precious kimonos on this day.For Shota, who has been studying abroad for four years, seeing so many beauties in kimonos on the streets is a long-lost enjoyment.

"That's great. Kimono or something."

"Brother, did you call this one?"

"I always feel that women in kimonos look much gentler. They will always be associated with Yamato Nadeko."

Shota searched the beauties on the street with his eyes, and explained: "It's a pity that there are too few girls like Manami. Or, are there more and more idiots like Kyosuke?"

"...Don't bring everything up on me."

"Hahaha, because Kyosuke has a temperament that can't help being bullied."

"Isn't that M, M! And it's fun to be bullied!"

"You said it yourself, Kyosuke."

"Ah...why do I have to explain this?"

The dejected Kyosuke suddenly noticed a few vans parked in front of him, and said to Shota in front of him, "Hey, why does it look familiar?"

"I have it too."

Shota nodded.

Sure enough, a few staff members carrying photographic equipment got out of the car.Then came Ayase Aragaki, a model wearing a black kimono with her hair tied up.

A girl who is completely different from Manami next to the two, beautiful and compelling.

"Eh……"

Shota and Kyosuke took a step back subconsciously at the same time, as if recalling some bad memories.

"That girl... seems to be Kirino's classmate?"

Manai said with some doubts: "Should I say hello?"

"Absolutely don't call me over!"

Jingsuke conveyed to his elder brother with his eyes: "That girl still thinks I'm a pervert!"

"What does it matter?" Xiangta replied with a playful look: "I always feel that calling her over will make things more interesting."

"Absolutely not!" Kyousuke's eyes were full of pleading: "If that girl accidentally slipped her tongue, I don't know how to explain it to Manami."

"Hey... didn't you say you liked Ayase before? Why don't you want to meet now?"

"This is this! Of course it's okay to look at the photos! But I'm not prepared for anything at all!"

"It's really troublesome, as long as you don't get noticed."

"Hey, are Kyosuke and Nii-sama making eye contact? That's amazing. Is there telepathy between brothers?"

Manami looked curiously at Kyosuke and Shouta who were flirting with each other, and then asked, "What are you two talking about?"

"Haha, the wind is a little noisy today, Kyosuke, don't you think so?"

"Ah, yes, brother! Oh! Look, the potato chips in the convenience store over there are half price!"

"really?"

The ordinary girl's attention was quickly diverted to the half-price merchandise.

"Ah, Manami, let's go buy potato chips first. It must be fun to wait in line while eating potato chips, right?"

Kyosuke hurriedly pulled Manami and walked towards the convenience store on the street, for fear of being noticed by Ayase on the other side.

"Yeah, yeah, let's go."

Shota also helps his younger brother in an emergency.Glancing in Ayase's direction, and realizing that she seemed to be looking here too, he quickly turned his head and walked towards the convenience store pretending to be calm.

However, if things always develop in the most ideal direction, life will lose a lot of fun, right?

"What's wrong? Miss Aragaki?"

The staff who followed Ayase saw that she was standing in the same place and kept looking in a certain direction, and slowly put the hand raised in mid-air back to her side, and said with some doubts: "Is this someone you know?"

That figure from the back is definitely my brother.

Ayase looked at the three of Shota who turned around, and thought in her heart: My brother also looked at me clearly just now.Obviously, he has noticed himself.Then why run away?Why do you run away when you see me?

So suspicious!

Maybe... I made a mistake?Absolutely I made a mistake.How can someone as good as my brother turn around and leave when he sees me?

There was a strange look in Ayase's eyes.

"Miss Aragaki?" Seeing that Ayase didn't answer him, the staff continued to urge, "What's wrong? The shooting seems to be about to start."

"Sorry, can I make a call first?"

"Ah, yes."

Although it was a phone call, Ayase finally chose to write an email and send it out.

"Om-"

mail?

Standing in the convenience store, Shota took out his phone and checked his inbox.

"Happy New Year. Brother, did you come to worship for the New Year today? - Aragaki Ayase."

"Ah, have you been exposed? No, no, maybe it's just doubts or just ordinary New Year's greetings. There are so many people on the street, and I'm so inconspicuous."

Shota scratched his hair in some annoyance, then hesitating whether to muddle through or tell the truth.

After all!It's all Kyosuke's fault!Why should I avoid Ayase?

"Hey, brother, that girl is so scary!"

Kyosuke on the side also noticed the text message Xiangta received, and said, "No matter what, I definitely don't want to meet her now."

Otherwise, forget about it.

No no, with Ayase's personality, lying will definitely be hated by her!

It's definitely not as simple as being hated!

"Hey." Thinking like this, Xiangta sighed, and said, "Tonight... you and Manami can play by yourself."

"Om-"

"Here we come." Ayase clenched the phone in her hand, then opened the cover to check the received text messages.

"Here we come. I saw you just now. Speaking of which, the black kimono matches Ayase very well, and it looks very beautiful-Shota Kosaka."

"Yo!"

Looking up, he saw Shota coming out of the convenience store and waving towards him.
