About the fact that I accidentally turned my sister into a cripple

Chapter 141 I Moved
September [-]nd.

That is, at 7:[-] p.m. on the second day after the start of the new semester.

Everyone sat around a rectangular dining table in the living room.

On the dining table, there are all kinds of meals that have just been prepared.
The dishes are plentiful.It should be said that it is much richer than usual.

All four of them sat in their original positions, and no one moved their chopsticks first.

In such a quiet atmosphere, Sakakihara Raku crossed his hands and propped his elbows on the table, staring at the aroma and heat wafting from the food.

Sakakibara felt that there was something wrong with this atmosphere, because in the past, my brother would happily call everyone to eat, but instead of maintaining a movement with a strange expression on his face now.

Is it because of what happened the day before yesterday?
But the day before yesterday, isn't it the past?
Sakakihara Ling tried to break the silence of the dinner: "Brother, what is the matter you want to announce? And why don't everyone talk? Isn't the matter of that day over? Jiu Liuli was also stopped by uncle, no It’s been out, although I’m still very dissatisfied.”

While Sakakihara Ling said this, she also observed the expressions of the Tianhai sisters, and none of them spoke.

"Everyone, talk too, it's time to eat."

"Ah."

"Brother? What are you going to say?"

Sakakihara Raku closed his eyes in sight of a piece of food:
"It's very simple. I want to move out, and the house has been chosen."

It's night time.

Obviously, several people in the family expressed different attitudes on the matter of Sakakihara Raku's moving out.

But for such an important matter, it is obvious that mother and uncle must know.

After the two of them returned home around eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Raku Sakakibara called them to talk about it alone.

"Are you going to leave for a while?" Tianhai Maodian chose to remain silent after listening to what he said.

He was the one who brought Jiu Liuli back.

So he also knows what happened between the two of them. As a father, he is not good at evaluating this matter, and he is not qualified to evaluate Xiao Le's choice.

"Yeah." Sakakihara nodded.

Miwa Sakakihara also lowered her voice: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen."

She began to ask Tianhai Maodian with some doubts: "Why does Jiu Liuli listen to her mother so much?"

Obviously, there is a deep secret in this matter.

The always calm Tianhai Maodian also began to have different emotions.

"On this point, it's my fault. I didn't pay much attention to Jiu Liuli and Qi Mingyue when I was a child. There are too many stories to tell here, and the long-winded speech is too cumbersome. In short, Bertha is very important to Jiu Liuli. It is very important, and it can even be said to be the belief that once supported her."

Amami Shigeru looked at Sakakihara Raku who was opposite:
"Are you sure you want to move out for a while?"

"Correct."

"Already decided?"

"Well, it's decided."

"I understand your thoughts, but I still want to keep you. Jiu Liuli broke up with you and came back halfway after doing something wrong to you. I hope you can give her a chance to make up for her mistakes. "

Sakakihara shook her head: "I don't want to sever ties with everyone, and I don't want Jiu Liuli to make up for it. I just want to go out and have a quiet time."

His words made Amami Maonori and Sakakihara Miwa look at each other.

After the silence, Tianhai Maodian spoke first:

"Well, Meihe and I both know what happened. On this point, it is indeed Jiuliuli's fault. Let me apologize to you on her behalf."

Uncle's movement of bowing his head made Sakakihara slightly embarrassed.

Then, Tianhai Maodian returned to his usual serious state:
"Meihe and I fully understand how you feel, but Meihe and I don't want you to move out now. We are too busy at work, and we usually rely on you to take care of this family. We only gave you money. support.

"Of course, if you really want to move out, Meihe and I will not stop us and respect your choice. After all, you have also said that we will not sever ties with this family.

"Now, I hope you can calm down for a while, and give me and Meihe an answer after you calm down, whether you want to move out or not."

Parents' opinions are clear.

disagree.

But it doesn't stop.

Although there will be no restraint in action, for Sakakihara Raku, he still feels a little bit of pressure mentally.

Uncle wants to calm down before taking action.

But for Sakakihara Le, Jiu Liuli's deception is absolutely unacceptable to him.

I often see her.

He would think that what he had paid was really thrown away at will. This brought him back to his previous life, where his parents didn't have any impression of what he did, and he was thrown away like garbage.

It is precisely because he values ​​feelings that he treats everyone as family.

Just because he values ​​feelings, he can't bear emotional deception.

In fact, Jiu Liuli didn't pay much attention to her confession at all.

He couldn't help thinking about it.

At the same time, the heart is extremely tangled and complicated.

He didn't want to erase Jiu Liuli's kindness to him in the past.

How should I face her?
Sakakihara took a deep breath.

No.

I still have to move out.

Even without anyone's support.

That night, past the early morning.

Sakakihara Raku, who had already made up her mind, was tidying up her room, and Sakakihara Raku, who was wearing a hoodie, stood at the door.

She kept her eyes on the action of her brother cleaning up the house.

There was a dilapidated key chain hanging around his waist, the gift he once gave him, shaking with his silent movements.

After hesitating for a long time, Sakakibara Rin still spoke to him:
"Brother, do you really want to go?"

Sakakibara stopped the folded clothes, remained silent, then turned around and smiled at Sakakibara at the door:

"It's okay, Ah Ling, I just went out to calm down, not to sever ties with everyone."

"Why are you going out?"

"A Ling, if Jiu Liuli was forced to break up with me just because she wanted to go abroad, I can accept it, but that's not the case." Sakakihara Le thought of Jiu Liuli explaining to herself why she agreed to confess her confession, and felt depressed for a while.

She actually agreed to herself because of Qi Mingyue.

what is this?what is this?what is this? !

Sakakihara Rin tugged at the corner of his clothes and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why are you angry?"

Sakakihara Raku understands her current psychology quite well, "If Liuli had to go to Europe because of her mother's request, I can understand. But it also means that the relationship between us is no longer what it used to be, but Jiuliuli is now being held by her uncle again. I was blocked back. Not to mention that I can't accept my confession to her because of Qi Mingyue, you want me to face Jiu Liuli again? I'm sorry, I don't want to face her yet."

"But... But," Sakakibara Ling saw her brother's smile, and felt sorry for him inexplicably, "I shouldn't move out, I, I still hope—"

Sakakihara Suzu remembered the atmosphere of everyone sitting at the same table tonight.

And the way my brother avoided him when he faced Jiu Liuli.

She couldn't help thinking that if she really let her brother stay in this house, and let him face everything when he was sad, let him stay because she needed him.

Will I be too willful?
Jiu Liuli didn't want her brother to leave, so Qi Mingyue didn't say anything.

But after my mother and uncle found out, they would definitely keep my brother back.

If I said something to him again and wanted him to stay, wouldn't my brother have no one to support him?

This is so strange.

Obviously my brother is so kind to his family, he cares about everyone every day, and cooks for everyone every day.

But why is there no one to support him when he is sad?

"bell?"

"Yeah," Sakakibara Suzu shook her head, "It's nothing! It's nothing at all, bro, just do what you want! I agree with you moving out!"

Sakakihara Raku was a little dazed, and looked at her younger sister's face under the short hair, "Didn't you still object when we were chatting just now?"

"I just want to understand some things, but as a condition, you must tell me where you moved. When I want to eat, I will go to you again."

Sakakihara smiled and nodded to her, "Well, I promise."

"Well, brother, I will come to you."

Following Sakakihara Suzu's official nod, the move was officially decided.

*
9 month 30 day.

It was an evening after school, Sakakihara Raku took a Mitsubishi Fuso bus and entered the Itabashi district of Tokyo.

The sunshine at the end of September has eased a lot compared to August, but the air is still hot and dry.

The noisy summer cicadas, the leaves that have been blown by the wind for a long time, and the shadows of the trees are moving on the mountain roads in the suburbs.

The bus was moving slowly on the mountainside road, and Sakakihara Raku, who was sitting in the back row with his head pressed against the window, looked down the mountain.

The tree shadows flickered as the bus drove, and outside the window, the residential area below the mountain seemed to be moving with it.Sakakihara Raku saw his own house among the criss-crossing telephone poles and Yihujian.

His new residence is in the residential area at the foot of the mountain. This place is very remote, and the convenience is not as good as in the urban area of ​​Tokyo. If you want to buy something, you have to walk a few streets and pass through dozens of telephone poles to come to the sight In the distance is a shopping street called Arakawa Market.

However, compared to the city, this place is better than clean, and the trails are also very clean.

Occasionally, policemen on bicycles can be seen on daily patrols, greeting the residents here friendly in the sound of "jingle bells".

It has been almost a month since Sakakihara came here.

Everyone here is very enthusiastic. Even if Sakakihara Raku is a resident who moved here suddenly, the wife next door and the old lady across the street will often bring him some vegetables such as eggplant, winter melon, tomato and potato, and give them to him.

As a gift in return, Sakakihara often invites them to taste the dishes he has cooked too much.

Once you come and go, you will get acquainted with everyone here.

His favorite is the Arakawa Shopping Street next to the Arakawa River, where many slow-paced people and old ladies like to hang out.

Here, he will find a pot of plants he likes every day, and then take them to the small courtyard built by his family and take care of them carefully.

Experience a leisure life.

Trim and trim the flowers and plants, water them, and clean the cobblestone road in front of the door with relaxing music. Smile and occasionally say hello to the neighbors nearby. After coming here, it seems that you can forget everything before troubles.

"Oh, go slowly!" The driver of the bus uncle greeted him with a smile and took off his hat.

After Sakakihara smiled and stretched out her hand to respond, she got off the bus, turned into the avenue of the community, and came to Arakawa Shopping Street.

There are all kinds of shops in the shopping street, such as tailor shops, flower shops, rice cake shops, cake shops and so on.

Some shops have a sense of history. For example, the wooden signboard of [Jiulang Xiandaoyu] is handwritten.

Young middle school students chatting and laughing through here after school.

In the snack store, the little yellow hat kid who was held by his mother, pointed at a candy and said "I want that".

The old man bent over to feed the cats.

A few children who were so happy chasing and playing in the shopping street, and housewives carrying shopping baskets and going out to buy vegetables together.

All kinds of people walk through this Arakawa shopping street.

Every time I walk in here, Sakakibara feels like I have stepped into another world, which is completely different from the prosperity of Tokyo Minato.

Feeling good.

"Oh, isn't this Xiao Le! School is over so early today? Are you going to buy a fish today?"

Sakakihara Raku turned around following the voice, and the person who spoke was a heroic uncle wearing an apron who looked like someone related to [Kurang Xiandaoyu].

"Mr. Kuro."

Sakakihara Raku was greeted by him to the door of the store.

"Oh? Do you really want to buy it? Hahaha, welcome."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kuro."

"Hahaha, why are you so polite, what are you ordering today, a limited-time special! Buy a fish, and I'll give you two scallops!"

"Mr. Jiulang, when giving something, shouldn't it be a little something affordable? What can two scallops do?"

"Hahaha, selling fish depends on enthusiasm! What you give is enthusiasm, and how much you give is enthusiasm!"

Sakakihara felt that Uncle Kuro's words could be described with strong words, so he shook his head with a smile, and picked a stone perch.

"Just this one, go back and fry some fish."

"okay!"

Uncle Jiulang swiftly took the fish out of the tank, packed them, put them on the electronic scale and set a price.

Sakakibara turned the schoolbag behind her to the front, took out some change, took out a piece of 5000 yen and handed it to Uncle Kuro.

"Dad, I'm back. Today, Sakakibara-kun is here too."

The speaker was a young girl who had just come from the other side of the shopping street.She was carrying a schoolbag and wearing a sailor suit.

She is Uncle Kuro's daughter, Kinko Kuro, who has just entered the third grade of middle school, and is usually a young girl with two pigtails.

Sakakihara Raku often heard from three naughty kids on the street that they all liked her.

I want to marry Xinzi as my wife in the future.

For this reason, the three children often wrestled together, and after being discovered, they were called back to the store by their respective mothers.

Haha, it's cute too.

Because the surname Jiulang sounds too boyish when called alone, the uncle named his daughter as close to a girl as possible.

Kinko.

Although it is still called by Kuro-san and Kuro-san in school, it is not a girl's name.

Kuro Kinko is very interested in this Sakakihara Raku who suddenly moved in here.

He seems to live alone, and he can often be seen jogging in the morning when he goes to school.

Many classmates and best friends say he is very handsome.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I often meet him in the shopping street
Uncle Jiulang patted his daughter on the back boldly, even making her stagger and lose her steady footing.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Haha, Xinzi, didn't you always want to say that you want to be admitted to the Mingde Private School? Xiao Leke is a student of the Mingde Private School. You should learn more from him." After Uncle Jiulang finished speaking, his intention was very obvious. The daughter blinked.

Sure enough, the stinky dad said something nonsense!
Kinko Kuro, who originally wanted to say something, was incoherent at the moment.

Sakakihara took the stone perch from Uncle Kuro, "Isn't there only 2 gifts, why are there 5 more?"

"Limited time offer, limited time offer!" Uncle Jiulang waved his hand and said, nonchalantly, "Xiao Le, you often visit our store these days, and I can't neglect you, haha."

Kuro-san always has a normal smile.

"That's fine," Sakakibara said with a smile as she held the fish and scallops in her hands, "I'll continue shopping for vegetables, so I won't bother you any more."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Xinzi who was behind Uncle Kuro, "I'm going first."

"Ah, good, good." Kinko Kuro nodded after being dull for a moment.

Sakakihara took the bag and continued to walk towards the shopping street.

I bought some vegetables and some pork. I had almost enough ingredients for today. Sakakihara, who was about to leave, suddenly remembered that there was another task for today, so she came to the flower shop and left with a pot of epiphyllum.

[Limited Time Mission: Shopping (Completed)]
[500 points have been issued]
[Skill "Gardening" upgraded to "Master"]
Sakakibara glanced at the panel.

All right, master gardener.

In this way, the few dwarf pines in the small courtyard should be pruned to look better. To be honest, those few dwarf pines were originally frizzy and had no aesthetic feeling at all.

"Good afternoon."

"Well, good afternoon, mother-in-law."

"Yo, you bought so many things today!"

"Haha, it's okay, okay."

After greeting everyone in the shopping street, Sakakihara Raku who walked out of the shopping street finally returned home, with a cold card lock hanging on the iron door.

When you open and push the door, you can see the whole yard. The orange tree planted at the door has already bear fruit, and there is a whole piece of thick fallen leaves under the tree.

The weather this year is much hotter than in previous years, and the late-ripening oranges are expected to ripen soon.

I heard from the landlord's mother-in-law that the oranges were planted by her grandson when he was young, and they are delicious, and he can take them as he pleases.

On the right side of the small courtyard, the wall-climbing tiger occupies the entire wall, and along the wall are all kinds of flowers and green plants that Sakakihara Raku has been taking care of for more than a month.

Putting the bought vegetables on the shelf at the door, and putting the epiphyllum in many flower pots, Sakakihara Raku came to the faucet with moss and connected water to the watering can.

Sakakihara Raku, who was going to follow the rows of flowerpots to sprinkle water, stood there dumbfounded.

He saw a beautiful figure, and that beautiful side face with a somewhat novel expression.She was wearing a long summer lace dress, with her back to her hands, looking at the clump of wisterias in the back garden that was suspended in the air.

She is a girl who is hard to forget just by looking at her.

Seeing the hairpin on her head, Sakakihara knew who it was.Hehe. I looked again after a month, and she was still so beautiful. No wonder the grandma who greeted me just now smiled and said to me that there is a beautiful and flirtatious girl looking for me.

Tianhai Jiuliuli found him after Sakakihara Raku appeared.

"I'm sorry, brother." The beautiful girl lowered her head and whispered when she saw him for the first time.

Sakakihara Raku didn't respond, "Well. How did you find this place? I've quit both the archery department and the literature department. If you use the principal, you can pretend that I didn't ask."

"Ring told me"

"Did she tell you?"

"Ah."

"Then let me tell you, I'll change the place." Sakakihara looked away from her face, pinched the shower, passed her, and began to sprinkle water slowly along the first potted plant.

"Brother, don't do this, it's my fault." Tianhai Jiuliuli took two steps closer to him.

Is it her fault?

Well, it was indeed her fault.

Originally at the airport that day, Sakakihara felt that there was still room for redemption.

After all, my aunt and Jiu Liuli have talked for a long time, and Jiu Liuli has taken her mother very seriously since she was a child, because her mother broke up with herself temporarily. Haha, anyway, the relationship is not long, so it is better to break up sooner, which makes sense and is barely understandable .

After all, she herself said that she didn't want to break up that much.

The day after the airport was also very friendly. Although the atmosphere between himself and Jiu Liuli became a little subtle, Sakakihara Raku could also feel that the two were trying to reconcile.

Until—Tianhai Jiuliuli had a showdown with herself after that.

She told herself that she was dating herself because of Qi Mingyue.

?

? ?
???

what is this?
Doesn't that mean she was lying to herself from beginning to end? !

Is it possible to respond to my own feelings like this? !
Is it just because of Qi Mingyue that you can accept my feelings for you? !

Sakakibara admits that he is a good person, but he is not a good person with no bottom line.

Sakakihara could accept her rejection, but she couldn't accept her deception.

Sakakihara Raku can keep her, but has no obligation to play games with her.

It's a pity that I still really want her well.

I think she is very gentle and understands me.
The sincerity of feeling oneself for so long is all false and useless.

Hahahahaha!
It's funny, it's really funny, you can laugh for a lifetime!

Sakakibara remembered that she had chased after her before, and tried hard to keep this first love, but now she wanted to slap herself.

It's ridiculous that I'm still in first love.

After the showdown, Sakakihara knew that she couldn't stay any longer, so she wanted to find a place to relax by herself.

Stay away from that place.

The school did not meet or talk to them, and the archery department and the literature department also withdrew.

I go home after school every day and come here to trim flowers and plants.

This month has passed, in fact, isn't it nice to be alone?
"So you came to see me today, what's the matter?" Sakakibara calmly watered the flowers.

"I want to call my brother to go back."

"Go back?" Sakakibara asked without any emotion, and looked at her, her shoulders moved slightly, "Is it because of Qi Mingyue again?"

"no--"

Tianhai Jiuliuli obviously wanted to explain something to him, but was interrupted by Sakakihara Raku.

"Okay, there's no need to say anything more between us. I'm tired, Jiu Liuli, I'm really tired. During that time, I cooked every morning, lunch, and dinner. I never begged for you. What, I just want to treat you as real family, but Jiu Liuli—forget it, I really don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

Sakakihara Raku shook out the last bit of water in the kettle, put it back in place, and walked back to the room with the ingredients she just bought.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Tianhai Jiuliuli only found him after a month. She knew that what she had done was not right at all, and wanted to talk to him, but he rejected him at the door.

"Farewell, I refuse to meet guests, and I have no ingredients for meeting guests. This is only enough for me to eat." Sakakihara made a gesture of invitation, facing the gate of the yard, "Please go back, Tianhai Da Miss."

Sakakihara also showed her a smile, which was also his really good-looking smile during the previous period.

But today is different from the past, and now this smile has changed its meaning.

Only the surface remains.

Sakakihara Raku originally thought that when she saw Jiu Liuli again, she would become hysterical, with a painful look of "why is it like this".

but no.

There was just peace, real peace.

Sakakihara Raku took one last look at Tianhai Jiuliuli's exquisite face, and looked away.

A click.

Before Tianhai Jiuliuli could respond, Sakakihara Le closed the door of the room and closed it.

Standing alone at the door that was rejected, Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered her head, feeling guilt and sadness in her heart.

She recalled the way her brother looked at her, the tone and attitude she spoke to her just now.

Did the brother who used to laugh when he saw him hate him so much now?
She squeezed her right arm with her left hand.

"sorry."

She is not a person who is desperate for face. If she did make a mistake, she is willing to apologize, take responsibility, and even more willing to correct it.

In the past month, she has thought a lot.

From the starting point, she was wrong from the very beginning, she shouldn't have cheated her brother and agreed to his confession in such an ambiguous situation.

I don't understand the severity of my feelings, so I casually regard my brother's dedication as something that can be humiliated.

If he wanted to help Qi Mingyue, he should have clearly refused from the beginning.

Yes, it was wrong from the beginning.

Sakakihara put the things in the kitchen, and soon after, an email was received on the phone.

The signature is Tianhai Jiuliuli.

[I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I want my brother's forgiveness]
Sakakibara ignored her, just glanced at her, then put on the apron, began to play a little tune, and started washing and chopping vegetables leisurely.

Put the phone aside, choose some leisurely light music and click to play.

"Huh~huh~~"

Handle the fish, wash the pan, and take inventory of the seasonings and various prepared ingredients.

When cooking, as long as the mood is relaxed, it is quite comfortable.

The kitchen knife made a sound on the chopping board, and Sakakibara quickly chopped the peppers.

It took an hour to prepare two main courses, and he was going to make another tomato and egg soup, and then watched TV to eat slowly.

When I went to the side to get the tomato, I glanced at the phone and found that there seemed to be several more emails.

[Brother, I have thought a lot over the past month. I know that I shouldn’t have lied to you from the very beginning. I was also confused, but after getting along with you for a long time, I realized that it’s not that I have no feelings for you. .I really didn’t lie to you on this point, if you want, I still hope we can get back together, I’m really sorry]
This one is the most recent one.

In the previous hour, there were more than a dozen unread emails. Raku Sakakibara swiped her finger and glanced at them. The contents were roughly her thoughts and apologies.

Sakakihara Raku looked at it - she didn't feel anything.

It is estimated that it is bearish.

He still didn't intend to respond, he took the water slowly and took the eggs from the refrigerator.

This time around, another email came.

[I'm sorry, brother, I'll be waiting at the door. I didn't want to get your forgiveness right away, I just wanted to have a few more words with you, okay.? ]
Say a few more words?
This request.

Sakakihara Raku looked at the mail and suddenly felt his hands sinking. He turned around:

"I'll go, the water is full, turn it off."

[I'm really sorry.]
Tianhai Jiuliuli squatted at the door, watched the vertical lines flickering in the input box, and sent this email again.

I glanced at more than 20 emails that showed [Sent], but none of them were answered. I don't know what to do now.
