The second semester of the second year of junior high school is over, and the winter vacation begins. In the blink of an eye, it will be the Chinese New Year again.

"Hey, Houtaro, what are your plans for the holidays?"

When Koe Oreki said this to Houtarou Oreki with a bewildered smile, Houtarou Oreki's rich experience made him shiver, and the boy narrowed his eyes and let out a lazy voice:

"Yes, I have."

"Oh? What is it?"

Oreki Koe asked with great interest, although if nothing unexpected happened, the answer in her heart was the same as that given by Oreki Houtarou.

"The Hermit Crab Lives."

really!

Oreki Koke didn't know whether to lament that he knew his younger brother too well or lamented how boring Oreki Houtaro's life was. Oreki Koke, who had already graduated from high school, mercilessly gave his dear brother a fist:

"Houtaro, don't you miss Xiaohe?"

"pain!"

Houtaro Oreki held his head that had been beaten by his violent elder sister, with a painful expression on his face, he didn't understand what Oreki Kouge meant:

"Why do you want to? We write letters every week, and we don't have a phone call every three days."

"..."

How many times did you contact me without me knowing?

Oreki Yuke twitched the corners of his mouth, it was different from what she thought, but it didn't matter, it didn't hinder her purpose.

"But that's different. If you don't see people, you will always miss it. Houtaro, do you want to see Xiaohe?"

Why does my sister have a coaxing tone?

Even though he thought so, Oreki Houtarou answered honestly without looking too uncomfortable:

"Well, ah, think about it."

"So! Let's go to Tokyo!"

Simple and rude!

"what?!"

Before Oreki Houtaro could react, he was kicked out of the house.

【Tokyo? 】

【Want...to see Ah He? 】

******

"Hey~ Ah He~ let's go out and play, it's all on vacation~"

He is obviously a man over thirty, but when he speaks in such a coquettish and sweet tone, it will not be a bit inconsistent. Maybe the man's too young baby face, in front of strangers, this man Always like a fresh graduate, especially deceptive.

Oreki Kongosuke pulled Oreki Tsuru's clothes, but the girl hugged the pillow comfortably and refused to move a step:

"No, I want to be a hermit crab at home."

As expected of Oreki Houtaro's older sister, the two spoke exactly the same, almost in sync.

"You, at the age of 15, you should be more energetic. Go shopping and shopping. Uncle has just received his salary. Take Ah He to go shopping!"

Oreki Konnosuke is Oreki Tsuru's uncle, the so-called uncle who lives in Tokyo. Part of the reason why Oreki Tsuru can be assured of living alone in Tokyo is also Oreki Konnosuke. The Oreki couple know Oreki Kongosuke will take good care of Oreki Crane, at least, materially, Oreki Kongosuke is completely satisfied with Oreki Tsuru.

Unexpectedly, Oreki Kongosuke is very fond of Oreki Crane, and sometimes Houtaro Oreki would wonder, not so much that Oreki Kongosuke is controlled by his niece, but rather that Oreki Kongosuke controls Oreki Crane, I have doted on Oreki Crane since I was a child.

"Ada, Soranosuke, what are you doing?"

"Uncle, I especially spared time to have space with Ah He!"

"Ding dong."

The doorbell rang untimely at this time, completely disturbing the "two-person space" that Oreki Soranosuke yearned for.

"Soranosuke, open the door~"

Oreki Crane's lazy tone was full of schadenfreude, and Oreki Kongosuke gritted his teeth and stood up and walked towards the entrance to open the door. The extreme displeasure in his eyes shot directly at the person who opened the door.

Oreki Konosuke looked down at the boy standing at the door, with dark brown curly hair, emerald green pupils, and a slightly immature face, but that lazy look was exactly the same as Oreki Tsuru, and Oreki Konosuke grinned He shouted the boy's name, but the murderous smile made Oreki Houtaro shudder.

"Yo~Houtaro~ Long time no see~Ah~"

"……Hello."

Houtarou Oreki straightened his back, bowed to Kongosuke Oreki, and greeted him politely. Houtaro Oreki felt that he couldn't get along with this uncle who had always had a sudden change in his unruly style of painting.

"Houtaro!!!"

The girl's voice came from inside, and then continued to the gate, and Oreki Konosuke felt a figure rushing by, and then the petite figure suddenly hugged Oreki Houtaro.

"=Dish=!"

Uncle, I want to hug too!

"..."

The girl who threw herself into his arms gave Houtarou Oreki a feeling he hadn't seen for a long time, the sense of familiarity and nostalgia, Houtarou Oreki's usual flat expression gradually softened after a moment of daze, the boy embraced Houtarou Wood Crane, the clean and pleasant voice sounded slowly:

"Long time no see, Ah He."

[I'm here to see you. 】

"Tsk."

Oreki Kuronosuke clicked his lips in displeasure.

Tokyo, Ginza.

Lively as always.

"As expected of Tokyo."

Oreki Houtarou walked beside Oreki Crane, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a while, Oreki Houtaro was already taller than Oreki Crane, the boy lamented the prosperity of the metropolis, which was completely different from the bustle and magnificence of his own city, Oreki Houtarou turned his head to look at the Oreki Crane beside him, and for some reason, the strange title of 'citygirl' popped into his head.

"This is Ginza, it's always lively!"

Oreki Tsuru explained to Oreki Houtaro excitedly, his lazy look was completely replaced by enthusiasm, and Oreki Karonosuke, who was walking behind the two of them, stared at Oreki Houtaro's back with resentment throughout the whole process line of sight.

'Boy. '

"hiss……"

Oreki Houtaro shrugged, a coolness behind his back made him feel like winter had arrived early.

"Houtaro, how long will you stay?"

Oreki Crane held Oreki Houtarou's hand, the boy heard the expectation from the girl's mouth, Oreki Houtarou hesitated for a moment, looked ahead and replied indifferently:

"It won't be long. The winter vacation will be on the [-]th. I will only stay for a few days."

"……Oh."

Oreki Crane's tone was obviously lonely.

"That……"

"Oreki?"

A suspicious shout interrupted Oremu Crane's words. Oremu Crane was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at the boy who called the surname 'Oremu'. There was a boy with glasses standing not far away. Just like in the comics, the boy who wears a shirt with a meticulous look and a pair of glasses must belong to the student union, and he is indeed a member of the student union, and he is also the president of the student union.

Yu Igarashi, third grade.

Currently handing over the position of student council president to Akashi Seijuro.

Igarashi pushed his glasses, his voice was soft and cold, not like the rigorous and cold tone of speech, the boy's voice was like a weak literary boy, not at all like the student president With a sense of competence, if you really want to say it, Akashi is much more imposing than this chairman.

"It looks like you from a distance, come and say hello to you."

Although Igarashi Yu's momentum is not strong, but he is very popular. The members of the student union respect him very much. The boy smiled at Oregi Crane. He was very impressed with Oreki Crane who came when he was about to hand over and quit the student union. Shen, the girl looks lazy, but every time she is given a task, she is indeed the one who completes the fastest, which is unexpectedly contrasting.

It should be said that Oreki Crane belongs to people who can be lazy as long as they can, and when they really have to do it, they can finish it as soon as possible without wasting free time.

That's right, this is similar to Oreki Houtaro's creed - don't do unnecessary things, and do necessary things as soon as possible.

"Ah, President."

Oreki Tsuru nodded to Igarashi Yu, and belatedly introduced Oreki Houtaro to the former student council president:

"He's Houtarou Oreki, my younger brother."

"This is Yu Igarashi, the former president of the Teiko Middle School Student Council."

"Hello."

Oreki Houtaro nodded his head, thinking about the position of student council president, which sounds very powerful. In school, Oreki Houtaro is unknown, let alone known to everyone. In his opinion, The people who let everyone know are the members of the student union, or those famous members of the sports club, just like Satoshi Fukube, as the accountant of the student union, they are very famous.

"Oreki-san's younger brother... hello."

Igarashi smiled, but his pale face made his smile weak.

'You don't look good, are you sick? '

Although Houtarou Oreki was thinking in his heart, he didn't open his mouth. It would be impolite to ask a stranger directly.

"Is the president feeling unwell?"

Oreki Crane tilted his head and asked bluntly, Oreki Houtarou paused, well, Oreki Crane has always been a straight ball girl.

Igarashi smiled bitterly, slowly lowered his eyes and sighed suddenly:

"Ah, is it obvious? It's just that the spirit is a little bad."

'It's nothing bad, you have dark circles under your eyes. '

Compared with the expression on his face, Houtaro Oreki's heart is absolutely rich. Thinking back on the care he received in the student union, part of it came from the connivance of the former president. It should be reciprocated:

"President, what happened?"

"..."

Igarashi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything. He looked at Oreki Crane's blinking eyes, and the words of Takeshita Hiiragi suddenly popped up in his mind:

【That guy Oreki looks cute, unexpectedly sharp...even sharp, President. 】

Takeshita is his classmate. I still remember that when we chatted with girls during lunch, this handsome and popular third-year basketball club shyly said that he fell in love with a second-year school girl. At that time, he didn't care about it until After Oregi Crane joined the student union, Takeshita Hiiragi told him with a sigh that Oreki Crane was the girl he liked at that time, but this school girl was unexpectedly not easy to pursue.

"Oreki!"

Igarashi Yu seemed to have made some decision, took a deep breath, and called Oreki Crane seriously.

"Yes?"

"Although it's rude to say this, but... can you do me a favor? I really... have no choice."

Hey?

Oreki Crane looked at Oreki Houtarou, as if he was asking for his words, Oreki Houtaro was also a little surprised by this sudden incident, but seeing Oreki Crane's face begging for help, Oreki Houtarou's heart softened, The boy rubbed his messy hair and sighed weakly:

"Although I can't fully promise you, it would be best if I can help you."

Oreki Kuronosuke was completely abandoned, giving up his original plan to go shopping, and the Oreki siblings went to Igarashi Yu's "humble house".

When Igarashi invited the two of them to his house, he used humble words to describe it as a humble house. Oreki Houtaro naively thought it was a humble house, and after seeing a big house with a yard and a pond, he said Mu Houtaro felt that he was really naive.

"I'm really sorry to trouble you here."

Igarashi Yu made the black tea and brought it to the coffee table. The boy and the girl who were sitting upright replied with similar expressions. The two didn't continue to waste time with each other with respectful words. Oreki Tsuru took a sip of the mellow black tea , cut to the chase with a relaxed tone:

"So, what's the matter? Chairman?"

Oreki Crane's protracted tone carried a lot of meaning in it. Hearing the lazy tone, there were actually not many honorifics in it. Igarashi smiled, and the bitter smile on the weak appearance seemed Being easily bullied, the teenager took a deep breath:

"I know it's rude to suddenly ask you for help, but no matter what the ending is, I am very grateful to you all. I just want to have a reason."

"..."

Oreki Crane puffed up her cheeks inadvertently, she is not good at dealing with such a serious and serious atmosphere.

Oreki Houtaro held the black tea in his hand and sipped it in small sips. It seemed that his attention was all on the delicious black tea. He didn't raise his eyes until the black tea bottomed out. On the former president of the student union, he was hesitating, but Oreki Houtarou looked at Oreki Tsuru again, and she was secretly looking at him.

Oreki Houtarou couldn't help but laugh in his heart, as a stranger, Oreki Houtaro said with a dominant attitude:

"Then tell me."

Obviously it was my brother's words.

******

With the sound of splashing water, Oreki Crane stood in the shower room. The girl's body was hidden in the steamy space. Oreki Crane looked at the tiles on the bathroom with an inexplicable expression, and he was still thinking about the daytime tour in Igarashi. At home, Houtaro Oreki looks like when he solves the problem perfectly.

The unexpected answer, the perfect solution, Oreki Crane couldn't help chuckling, the girl had an inexplicable sense of pride.

Houtaro is really good.

"Ahe, are you in there?"

A boy's voice came from the door, and Oreki Crane slowly put on the fat time, and then slowly put on the vest, while responding to the boy at the door:

"Oh, come in."

Oreki Crane thought that Oreki Houtaro was going to use the toilet, so he said casually, with his back to the door, Oreki Crane heard the sound of the door opening, the girl just pulled down the vest, before turning around, she heard the sound of the door closing again.

"Well?"

Why did Houtaro go out again?
