My Relationship System is a Little Weird

Did he say something wrong?

Kanbara Kazumi was silent, and after a while, she smiled again, but her hand reached for the photo album.

"You can see it, but most of the photos above are from a long time ago. I'll get you some recent photos. There are also photos of my brother."

After he became handsome, he no longer resisted taking pictures, so he took a lot of pictures with his family.

Mrs. Kanbara likes photo albums very much, so she printed out many photos and stored them.

The girl hugged the photo album and turned around to leave.

But before going out, Kanbara Chiwa's voice made her stand still.

"I'm fine, Kazumi."

"How can it be okay!"

The girl let out a low growl, but she quickly realized that this was in front of Chiwa's friends, with her back facing a few of them, one hand hanging down, clenched tightly, and then slowly released.

"Excuse me...I'm going to get the photo album."

The girl ran away, and it sounded like she was going downstairs.

Everyone in the room was left at a loss, and Chiwa Kanbara, who still couldn't hide her smile, was left behind.

----

"Hemei? Have the fruits been delivered to everyone?"

Hasty footsteps made the woman in the kitchen poke her head out.

But he was surprised to find that the daughter who delivered the fruit upstairs was curled up in the corner of the sofa.Put your hands on your knees.

"Hemei?"

"Ah, I'm fine."

"Really?"

"Well, you can continue to prepare. By the way, where is the photo album?"

"Hmm... for the photo album, it's in Dad's study."

"it is good."

The girl nodded, got up and walked to the study on the first floor.

The door was closed tightly, and Kazumi Kazumi slid on the floor with his back against the closed door, and let out a long breath.

Is it really just out of fear that these damn pictures are put away?

Afraid that these photos will bring back bad memories for him?

That's not all.

She knelt on the floor, opened the photo album, and her eyes fell on the familiar figure.

The thin body trembled slightly.

The one who was really afraid was actually her.

How Kanbara Chiwa was treated, she actually saw everything in her eyes.

How could she, who was only one grade away from the boy, not know about Kanhara Chiwa being isolated in school.

But she turned a blind eye for a whole year and a half...

If it wasn't for the confession that was ridiculed by everyone.

Not because of the blinding blood red...

Such days are likely to continue for three years.

Why was she like that at that time?

She propped her hands on the ground, her long hair hanging down covered the girl's expression.

From the day she entered Fuzhong, she vaguely remembered that the fat guy thought about saying hello to her at school.

But she ignored it, and didn't think that ugly, fat, low self-esteem guy was her family.

Why did such an existence appear in the Kamihara family?

So whether at home or at school, brothers and sisters who want to share the same blood are no different from strangers.

Such days lasted for a year and a half.

Until that day comes.

It's hard for Kazumi Kanbara to remember why she wanted to enter the boy's room that day...

It seems to have heard rumors about a fat and ugly guy who dared to confess to Maisaka Yui?

While thinking it was a bit funny, I wanted to ask if that person who overestimated himself was this guy?

The reason, she couldn't remember.

But she will never forget the pungent smell of blood after opening the door.

What I can't forget is also the blood-stained bed and the sickly pale face.

She screamed according to her instinct until there was no sound, she fell to the floor, and then watched the doctor enter the door with a blank mind, picked up the guy's body, walked around her, left the room, left this house...

When we met again, the guy's dodging gaze and subconscious bowing of his head disappeared.

Instead, there are eyes looking at her tenderly, and the corners of the lips are always raised.

Kanbara Chiwa had changed, and she felt extremely strange.

But she knew very well in her heart that such a change was good.

Yes, since then, Kanbara Chiwa has always been developing in a good direction.

Everyone was really happy for him, including her, although she rarely showed it.

But...it was also the change of the teenager that caused her sinful and dark heart to be gradually forgotten by her on purpose—that dirty, disgusting, and even self-loathing self.

Back then...why did she do that?

Ignore the elder brother who is in the sea of ​​suffering.

ostracized, isolated...

Shouldn't she comfort and accompany her family?

But why would she turn a blind eye to this?

During the time when he was still awake, she asked herself repeatedly in her heart more than once.

If she had stretched out a hand towards him who was in the darkness.

Tell him that she still exists, so will all that not happen?

The doctor said that when the teenager was out of danger, she seemed to be taken out of her strength and was hugged by her mother.

He slept for a long time, long enough to scare her again.

She was afraid that this guy would just fall asleep like this. She hadn't apologized yet, and she hadn't apologized for what she had done.

She doesn't expect to be forgiven, but at least... let her say the three words I'm sorry.

Fortunately, he woke up.

The waking Kanbara Chiwa seemed to be a different person.

The answer given by the doctor was to break through and then stand up. Perhaps it was the young man who woke up when he was dying.

And those gentle eyes made her unable to open her mouth again.

Gradually, her thoughts changed at some point.

It may be because the boy's changes at this time are always changing in a good direction, so the girl feels that the boy's suicide this time is a good thing.

That's right...a good thing...

If it weren't for his despair, he wouldn't stand up like he is now.

She doesn't have to apologize, right...it's fine now, just keep it up.

As if in self-hypnosis, she gradually forgot about "having to apologize".

That's why she still maintained her past style when she was a teenager who first changed herself.

He responded indifferently to the boy's care and tenderness, and even took his anger out on him because of unrelated people. (Here explains why Kazumi Kazumi had an unpleasant personality in the early days)

Because she used to do that too.

That's why she frantically put away all those photos with the past as a teenager, and hid them well...

As soon as she saw him at that time, she couldn't help but think of that ugly self.

She was afraid of Kazumi Kanbara who was indifferent at that time, and couldn't believe that Kazumi Kanbara was her at that time.

But the appearance of this photo album made the long-forgotten self come to mind again.

Kazumi Kanbara bit her lower lip tightly, letting her eyes be blurred by tears.

Crystal clear teardrops slid down his cheeks, fell on the face of the teenager in the photo, and fainted.

----

The study door behind him was gently opened at some point.

Sitting on the floor, trembling with her hands on the ground, she didn't notice it.

Until a big hand landed on top of her head, caressing her chaotic thoughts.

She raised her head belatedly.

In the blurred vision, a teenager with a doting smile was sitting beside her.

"It's okay, Kazumi."

The gentle words seemed to trigger some switch, and the tears that were originally accumulated in the eyes broke free uncontrollably.

She tried very hard to cover her face with her hands, but she couldn't dispel the burning feeling no matter what.

The endless sobs made her tremble all over.
