That nanny, rotten!

For the first time, I was so unwilling to have physical contact with my brother, I always felt that my thoughts would leak out through the skin.

"Uh... okay..." Curly's bewildered look made me feel like a knife was twisting my heart, but I couldn't say anything, so I had to turn around and walk away as if I was running away, repeating to myself over and over again:

I'm sorry brother, I'm sorry...

one centimeter distance

"Then, I'll go out first~" My brother went to school alone with a stiff smile on his face.

"Hi~ please go" As for whether my own response is equally rigid, because I have no way of knowing without looking in the mirror.

Throughout the morning, "Yi brother has no blood relationship at all, who cares!" ’ No one mentioned this sentence that I blurted out last night.As if I never said it, and my brother pretended not to hear it, the two of them tried their best to maintain the [pure] brother-sister relationship, so that everything looked as calm as before—to put it bluntly, they were trying their best to deceive themselves and others.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Today is the joint school festival of the six universities with East University as the main venue, and the finale of the drama department, "Sleeping Beauty" will be officially staged.My mood is a bit complicated. On the one hand, I don’t want to see the prince played by my brother and the princess played by Zaoyuan love each other. On the other hand, I am hopelessly looking forward to the shining appearance of my brother who is the "Actor King" on the stage... …I struggled until the end, but I still came.

"Ah, Sister Irie, did you come here to save the scene after receiving a call from Soen?" In the evening when I arrived, a considerable number of members of the drama department had gathered at the entrance of the multi-functional lecture hall of the University of Tokyo, which is the official performance venue.

"Telephone? No..." He suddenly said something about saving the situation, which made Monk Zhang Er completely confused.

"Zaoyuan, she may not be able to come~"

"Hey...but...isn't she the heroine?!"

"Well, I just heard the deputy director talking on the phone over there, saying that he seems to be injured...Huh?! The director is here!!" Turning his head in the direction of this member's line of sight, it was indeed the beauty of Zaoyuan Slender figure, but——

"Sorry, I'm late." Zaoyuan Yingjing's proud and beautiful leg was wrapped in a thick bandage, and she limped and staggered.

"Here, what's going on here?"

"Hey~ Last night, because of some special circumstances, I was a little absent-minded, and ended up stepping on the ground and fell down the stairs..." The beauty really had a charming wry smile, she scratched her cheek embarrassingly, and continued "...Besides, because of the pain, I cried all night, and now my eyes are swollen like pandas, and my legs are struggling just to stand--Speaking of which, Kanata-kun mentioned that Kumi-kun is very good at What about memory~ Well, you’ve been watching us rehearse all this time, so you must be very clear about the timing of your lines and actions, right?”

"Huh? Well~uh...probably..." My memory is so good that I can't forget many things even if I want to—but, what does it matter, I asked this suddenly.

"Sure enough! If that's the case, today, you can play the heroine for me, okay?"

"...Oh... Hey?! Nani??" The meaning of Zaoyuan Meiren's words just now is that she asked me to stand on the stage for her, as the finale of the joint school festival, to act in full view, Is this what you mean?

"No, no, no... No... Absolutely not!!!" I shook my head like a rattle with all my strength, and I have all these mental illnesses including trypophobia, crowd phobia, and spotlight phobia!

"Hey~ What's the matter! It's the heroine, but you know the character, anyway, most of the time in the play is sleeping, so there will be no problem!!!"

"It has nothing to do with that..." I am indeed a very unscrupulous person, and I almost respond to beautiful women, but I also have my bottom line, saying [No] Even if you are Diao Chan alive, it is okay to use [Beauty Trick] Yong, "Besides, this is your school festival, there are so many professional actors in the drama department that can save the scene, how can it be my turn to be a high school student!"

"Please~ Kokumi... Although it's a bit hard to say... But in this scene, there is a scene where the prince kisses the princess to wake up? Even if it's acting, I definitely don't want to see Kanata-kun kissing other girls-but the object is For sister Irie, it’s a different matter, I won’t be unwilling and I won’t feel uncomfortable.” The kiss scene... Indeed, this is also the part that I struggled with at first, knowing that I won’t really kiss, but I will Can't care less...

"Even if you say that, I can't..." I can't do it——because the words "Irie sister, so it's okay" hurt me hard.

"Little Kumi, really, really please... help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, just treat it as the last time, help me... okay?" Just when I wanted to stand firm again and express my attitude At that time, the beautiful woman in Zaoyuan folded her hands together, the trust and earnestness in her beautiful eyes made it impossible for me to shake my head and refuse.

Really, it turned out like this again——

"Yes, just like this, don't move~ look down, the eyeliner will be drawn soon~"

"Yes..." Although I, who have been a bone spirit in the workplace for many years, have an urge to snatch the tool bag from the "makeup artist" in front of me, and do it in front of the mirror, but it's just in my head Just thinking about it, in reality, I sat upright, closed my eyes stiffly, and let various types of brushes swim on my face-in the end, I was still led by the nose by that beauty, chasing ducks away It's on the shelves... It's lucky that he was not born in the revolutionary era with such a weak will, otherwise he might not be able to withstand torture and torture, and he will be a traitor who will be infamous for thousands of years.

"The last one is lip gloss... Yoshi~ It's finished! You can open your eyes to see it, sister Irie... Wow~ As expected of a brother and sister, just like my brother, they take off their glasses and are so cute!" It's too exaggerated. , this member~ I think that this wig that looks like a kelp mother and the BLINGBLING crown on it, and this dress that was tailored according to the height of the beautiful woman in the garden are completely unsuitable for the girl Kumiko What about the loli face, not to mention the exaggerated stage makeup.

"What~ should I praise Kumi-kun for being very malleable, or have you completely changed yourself--it really surprised me~" Miss Saozono, who came around to me with her injured leg, was full of praise, " Is it because the make-up has changed the aura? It doesn’t have the immature feeling of a child at all, the temperament is quite noble and outstanding, and there is no lack of true character and cuteness... It’s completely Sleeping Beauty who came out of a fairy tale~”Yeah ...This kind of exaggerated statement is too much even if you want to appease me who was dragged into the water by you, beauty...it will only backfire and make me more panic because of this teasing.

"My own eyes are more reliable..." Thinking this way, when he was about to go to the full-length mirror that was occupied by several other actors just now, the door of the preparation room was opened——

"Sorry, I can't get away from the booth over there in the tennis department, so I'm late..." It was Curly who came in with his head in.

"Oh~ Kanata-kun, you came at the right time, come and see our heroine today!" Zaoyuan waved her hand excitedly and called to her brother, just so impatient to let him see how embarrassing I am, this woman It really is!

"The heroine? Isn't it you? What's there to see?" Dumb complained unceremoniously, and walked straight over in response to Zaoyuan's call.

"..." Right in front of me, he stopped suddenly, opened his mouth wide in a daze, and stared at me as if he saw a ghost, "...XIAO...YU" and murmured in a low voice indistinctly What.

"Brother...Brother..." I really couldn't stand Duan's eyes that didn't know what to say, but seemed eager to see through me, so I called him and looked away.

"For the sake of the fact that I got hurt because of playing Duojun, don't worry about it. Let your most precious sister act in this play." Xu noticed that I was at a loss, and the side Zaoyuan Yingjing took the initiative to explain to her brother——but, what happened to [being injured because of Kanata-kun]?

"Eh?"

"Little Kumi has been observing for so long, she knows the flow of each scene very well, and her line memorization skills are on par with Kanata-kun. I don't think there will be any major mistakes... But, if something really happens If that is the case, I will have to trouble you to cooperate according to the circumstances..."

"Uh, I see..." My brother was still staring at me intently as if he had been possessed by a demon, and he answered absent-mindedly and perfunctorily. I don't know if he listened to Zaoyuan's words seriously.

"Then, it's almost time. If His Royal Highness doesn't change quickly, it will be too late."

"Ah... oh... is... is that so?" Thanks to Zaoyuan's various urgings, that dumb man finally took his eyes off my face, and even walked out of the preparation room to the dressing room, turning his head again and again look back.

"Hey~ Look, even the always calm Kanata-kun is fascinated by his sister!" Zaoyuan joked with a snigger just as his brother disappeared at the door.

"Where... how can there be...?" In all fairness, Kanata's reaction today is really strange, not so much
