"Yuki! Where are you, Yuki—?"

Following Rin's shout, a group of birds flapped their wings and flew away from the roof of the Southern Cross Monastery.

"……I am here."

Sighing angrily, Xue Nan straightened his glasses and frowned at his twin brother: "I can hear you without shouting so loudly, brother."

"Oh~! So you are here! Yukio! The entrance exam is over, and you are still reading!"

Rin, who found his younger brother reading a book in the room, showed a smile so innocent that it could be said to be foolish.He grabbed his younger brother's neck from behind, and Rin smiled "hehe", with a premeditated expression.

"I should have said it earlier here~ You mole with four eyes~"

"elder brother……"

Using the middle finger and thumb of his right hand to straighten the glasses that were instantly crooked by his brother, Yukio almost just gritted his teeth and said, "How many times have I said that...? Don't call me by this name."

"Well~ don't worry don't care~"

He didn't take his younger brother's anger to heart at all, exuding an aura of "I'm very happy" and "I want to do something" from head to toe, Rin smiled and said, "Hey~...I said Yukio~"

"what?"

Responding angrily, Xue Nan closed the book in front of him - as long as his twin brother was around, he couldn't read properly, Xue Nan had already accepted this fact.

"Anyway, you don't go to school today, come and help me!"

Thinking of the smile Dongyue might show in front of her when her plan is realized, Rin couldn't help but get excited.

Looking at Lin like this, Xue Nan was very puzzled: "Help brother...?"

"Ah~ That's right!"

Seeing that his younger brother wanted to help him, Lin who let go of his younger brother's neck began to dance and gesture, trying to explain his plan.

"Dongyue has been in this dilapidated monastery for several months, right?"

"..."

The lake-green pupils opened slightly, and Xue Nan's face changed slightly.

"Yuki Ono, I'm very lucky to have raised you and Rin to such an age in this monastery.Watching you guys grow up and come out of this monastery is my biggest dream. 』

Shi Lang with his hips akimbo grinned in front of the snow man.That smile is so hearty, so sincere, and so warm.

"Yes, father. 』

Lowering his head, Yukio tried hard to hide his sore nose.

『I will work hard to become a qualified adult. 』

(I will also supervise my brother to become a qualified adult.)

Xue Nan secretly swears in his heart.This is his silent promise to his father, Shi Lang, who raised him, and it is also his vow to himself.

For Yukio, Southern Cross Abbey is his home, the only home in the world.Because there are Sutra, Nagatomo, Izumi, and Maruda who are like older brothers, as well as Yukio's most respected father, Shiro, and his older brother, Rin, who wants to protect no matter what.

However, Rin described such a Southern Cross monastery as a "broken monastery". The words "broken monastery" pierced Xuenan's artery like a steel needle, and pushed along the artery into Xuenan's blood vessel with cold and bone-piercing pain.

She didn't notice the unhappiness that appeared in her younger brother's expression for a moment, Rin just immersed herself in her own thoughts.

"In the past few months, Dongyue has not disliked this dilapidated monastery at all, and has done many things for us and the monastery every day."

Embarrassedly scratching her slightly hot cheeks, Rin leaned against the desk where Yukio was reading.

"I am very grateful for such a winter moon."

"..."

There was a kind of coldness in the sight of the lake-green eyes, and Xue Nan didn't answer.

(The older brother doesn't know anything.)

Hoshino Fuyuki is willing to "condescend" to this monastery, not just hoping to be sheltered.

Although she has covered up the fox tail very well and has not taken any suspicious actions so far, she is always an existence full of uncertain factors, like an uncertain time bomb.

Knowing how cunning, vicious, powerful and unreasonable the devil is, Yukio never relaxes his vigilance against Dongyue who is involved with the high-level devil.

(Obviously I don't know what purpose that person came to do these things.)

Listening to Rin's earnest and shy words, Xue Nan felt a little restless in his heart.

"Isn't Dongyue her birthday in Dongyue? Although she didn't tell us the specific date, it's still winter, so it shouldn't be too long before Dongyue's birthday."

Secretly clenched his fists, then loosened them, Yukio asked Rin in front of him: "...so?"

Although Yukio had already guessed roughly what Rin wanted to say later.

"Well, it's actually nothing."

Thinking of all the "ordinary" and "ordinary" that Dongyue gave herself, Lin smiled and said, "I suddenly thought of it when Dongyue and I went shopping."

"It's always Dongyue doing something for us, this time it's our turn to do something for Dongyue."

The clean lake blue eyes are so clear.It is the clarity that does not know the darkness of the world, and even if it is drowned by darkness, it can dispel the darkness with its own light.Like tiny ice and snow crystals being burnt by flames in an instant until nothing is left to evaporate, not beating around the bush, the pure and thick Rin's innocent expression gave Xuenan a tingling illusion.

"..."

(Yes, brother doesn't know anything.)

In order to protect Rin, to protect Rin, the son of Satan who inherited the power of the demon god, everyone in this monastery has devoted their time, painstaking efforts, and energy, and even if their bodies are broken to pieces, they must protect Rin.

However, it is this kind of Rin, who is so valued by everyone in this monastery, and who is willing to protect Rin even if he is willing to risk his life... not to the elder brother Jingtang, Changyou, Izumi and Maruda.Not to Shi Lang who is like his biological father.Not to my twin brother.Instead, he showed the utmost tenderness and kindness to an existence that needs vigilance and vigilance.

Rin, who has been secretly protected by the crowd to prevent the devil from getting close to him, is now planning to do something for a woman who is related to the devil, which he has never tried before.

(Evidently don’t know anything, but——)

Clenching his hands into fists again, it was the first time that Xuenan felt that all the blood in his body seemed to be rushing towards his brain.

"Does Xuenan know? Dongyue has a younger sister, but neither Dongyue's sister nor Dongyue's family members get along well with Dongyue, so I think if Xuenan and I can—"

"I reject."

Suppressing the clamoring, shouting, and angry anxiety in his heart, Yukio replied like this.

"Ugh?"

Hearing this, Rin was slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect his younger brother to act so indifferent after listening to himself explain the reason, and the smile on Rin's face gradually disappeared like melting snow.

"But I haven't finished yet..."

"It doesn't matter if you finish it or not. I will never help my brother. Also,"

Picking up the book from the table, Yukio, who wanted to find a quiet place to read again, turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother, it's best not to think that people who treat you a little better are good people, and they don't have evil intentions."

"Snowman!"

Shocked that my younger brother is so indifferent, and even more shocked that my younger brother would say that Dongyue is not a good person in a disguised form and has evil intentions. Hearing the brother who has always been closest to him say that he has a good impression of someone, Rin is not only unbelievable, but also more unclear so.

"Wait! What are you talking about?!"

Rin grabbed his brother's arm tightly.

"Dongyue is indeed a good person! She won't be someone with evil intentions—"

"Brother, you don't know anything at all!!"

Swinging away Rin's hand, Yukio, whose straight face was taut, almost gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, what do you know? How much do you know about her?"

Unlike Rin, who is irritable and irritable, Yukio, who usually has a calm personality like the constant temperature of seawater deep in the sea, seldom yells like this.But at this time, the extremely ugly Yukio shouted uncharacteristically.

"Don't jump to conclusions if you don't know anything!!"

Lin was taken aback, and then was ignited by his twin brother.

"The person who doesn't know anything is Yukio, right?! I don't know what kind of childhood Dongyue experienced, I don't know what kind of family Dongyue has, how much do you know about Dongyue, Yukio...?!"

Facing Yukio who ignored what he said and blamed him, thinking of Dongyue's tears without crying and her calm voice, Rin couldn't bear to retort angrily any longer.

"Isn't Yukio the one who draws conclusions without knowing anything?!"

"..."

Being stabbed in the heart by Rin's accusation, he couldn't tell Rin about him and his life experience, and couldn't explain to Rin how dangerous it was for him to get close to Dongyue who was related to the devil. I don't know what else I can do.

"Snowman!!"

Lin's voice behind him was still resounding unwillingly.Yukio, who turned his back to Rin, walked out of the room without looking back.

"Obviously... it's my brother who doesn't know anything..."

Carrying a burden that Rin can't imagine, alone bearing the sorrow and pain that Rin should have had.Yukio, who wanted to protect his older brother more than anyone else, but hated his twin brother more than anyone else, suddenly had the urge to drag Rin into the quagmire he was in.

However, Xuenan's reason firmly does not allow him to do such a thing that hurts his family.

Rin, who looks rough, but is actually gentler and kinder than anyone else, if he knows his life experience... If he knows that his father Shi Lang took him in because of his life experience, if he knows that his younger brother stepped down to protect him Words on the rough and agonizing road of the exorcist—

"Obviously, it's brother..."

Stop at the center of the snow-covered courtyard.Snowman breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the gray sky.

"do not know anything--"

At the same time, Lin who was left alone in the room by Xue Nan couldn't help but kicked towards the desk beside him.

"Damn...! That guy Yukio...!"

I feel strange about my younger brother's change.Rin, who couldn't accept his younger brother's series of rhetoric, had no other feelings other than irritability, irritability, and restlessness.

"You say something like that when you don't know anything...!!"

There hasn't been a single quarrel in several years, and Rin, who still has a good relationship even with occasional quarrels and small frictions, never thought that he would yell angrily at his younger brother.Just like his twin brother Yukio never thought that he would make such a cold expression and say such cold words to his brother.

——The Okumura brothers have entered the most protracted cold war in 15 years since this day.
