Where's my childhood sweetheart?

Following the words of Saiki Kusuo and Saiki Kongsuke, there was no sound in the air for a while.It seemed that the world had suddenly become silent, and even the sound of shaking leaves in the forest had completely disappeared.

The midday sun shone from under the cover of the leaves, and the two people under the shadow of the tree just stared at Ayou's eyes, with endless tolerance and seriousness in their eyes.

Ayou couldn't help but flinch from such a straightforward and sincere gaze, and she couldn't help but lower her head to look at her hand that was being held.After a while, he opened his mouth in a low voice.

"Well, even if you say so..."

Her voice became soft because of crying, and the unfinished crying made her words seem like she was acting like a baby.

"I won't give up either."

The urgency and despair accumulated in the long time of experiencing several worlds is not what Ayou knows now as in the beginning.

Now she just buried her face in Saiki Kusuo's arms as if evading, and spoke emphatically.

"Won't give up."

Eternal life was unacceptable to her, and even the nearly 10 extra years now seemed unbearable to her.For her, living is like going to work. She had never had to go to work, but she was forced to go back.

If not a workaholic, who likes to work overtime day and night?

"it does not matter."

A voice sounded above her head. It was obviously just a young boy's slightly immature voice, but it could make those who heard it feel at ease.Someone patted her on the back, and Ayou only felt that her thoughts were gradually becoming chaotic.

Some... sleepy... are you?

With such doubts, a strong drowsiness hit, and Ayou, who couldn't hold on, finally fell into sleep.

When Ayu fell asleep completely, Saiki Kusuo stood up holding her, and Saiki Kongsuke also looked at Saiki Kusuo.

' Kusuo. '

Saiki Kongsuke didn't speak, fearing to disturb Ayou's brothers, they used Saiki Kusuo's super power to communicate silently.

'Let's talk. '

'I think so too. '

The two brothers did not tear up for the first time, but wanted to talk about the same thing very seriously.

Saiki Kusuo nodded, and he looked at Natsume Takashi who was standing aside, thanked him solemnly, then teleported back home with Ayou in his arms and brought Saiki Sosuke.

Psychic automatically spread the quilt, and put Ayu who fell asleep because of his ability on the quilt, Saiki Kusuo closed the door, and entered another room with Saiki Sorasuke.

Sitting on the floor opposite Saiki Sorasuke, Saiki Kusuo spoke first.

'When did you know? '

He had never heard the other party think about it.

"Oh, let's talk about this..."

Saiki Kongsuke looked at Saiki Kusuo with a smile.

"It was after the incident with Sorasuke-[-]."

Because after that time, because he wanted to protect his sister in all aspects, he started to rise up, so he made some devices, so he knew a lot of things that he didn't know before.

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

Immediately, Saiki Kusuo looked at Saiki Kongsuke with strange eyes.

Although I knew that Qi Mukong helped you, a girl-controlling and idiot, but I didn't expect you to be so perverted.

"Kusuo, do you actually think of me like this?"

As if he understood the expression in Saiki Kusuo's eyes, Saiki Kongsuke asked back unmoved.

"Are you not a sister-in-law?"

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

There's no point in arguing about this kind of thing...

Thinking of this, Saiki Kusuo started the next topic with a sullen face.

'Since you already knew, how could you remain indifferent? '

"Hey, Kusuo, my sister is cute, isn't she?"

As if he had never thought about it before, and as if he knew the answer by heart, Qi Mukongsuke spoke without hesitation.

"I like my sister very much, so as long as it is her wish, I want to fulfill her."

'Even if she wanted to kill herself? '

"Even if she wanted to kill herself."

Seeing Kongsuke Saiki who could be said to have answered decisively, Kusuo Saiki began to frown.

'It's not right, she's our family, so...'

Before Saiki Kusuo finished speaking, Saiki Kongsuke suddenly interrupted his words.

"Kusuo, you are too bound by the so-called 'morality'."

His originally squinted eyes were completely opened at this time, and he stared straight at Saiki Kusuo with dark green eyes.

"Your super power is very strong. No one can deny this. Even if you think about it, it may only take a few days to destroy the earth, so your mother is actually very concerned about your education."

'What do you want to say? '

"What I want to say is, don't limit yourself by the standards of those monkeys in the outside world."

Saiki Kongsuke's eyes were serious.

"The reason why there are so many rules in society is that they are customized for the majority of 'ordinary people'. In many cases, human beings will follow the trend, and the minority obeys the majority."

"but--"

Qi Mukong's assistant tapped the knuckles on the floor, emphasizing.

"Some people don't have to follow the rules, just like you."

He stared into Saiki Kusuo's eyes.

"Like a sister."

"And didn't you discover one thing?"

Saiki Kongsuke took out a mobile phone, and after swiping a few times, he froze on a page, and then he put it in front of Saiki Kusuo.

"Sister, she has never made any excessive demands on anyone, including her mother."

He withdrew his hand and looked at Saiki Kusuo who was looking down at the phone, his voice was slow.

"Of course it includes us."

What was presented to Saiki Kusuo was nothing complicated, it was just a description record and investigation results.However, it was such a simple thing that he couldn't move his gaze away.

In the past 10 years, Ayou, who has not made any request, is the result of a comprehensive survey with 10000 random households in the world.

There is no doubt that Saiki Sorasuke can do such a thing.

"Although the younger sister is also 'different', there are still merits in other people's models."

Saiki Kongsuke looked at Saiki Kusuo who had finished reading the materials and smiled slightly.

"She has always been uneasy. She doesn't even know about this uneasiness, but it's her instinct. Obviously this is her home, and we are her family, aren't we?"

'What do you want to say? '

Saiki Kusuo pushed the phone back, and he intuitively felt that Saiki Kongsuke was about to say something shocking.

Saiki Kongsuke asked Saiki Kusuo a question.

"Have you ever seen your sister greet death? What's her look like?"

'look? '

Saiki Kusuo frowned.

How do you describe Qi Muyou who persists in chasing death and facing the moment of death?

"Wanting, Relaxation, Reassurance, Calm."

Saiki Kongsuke said the words in Saiki Kusuo's heart, he approached Saiki Kusuo, his voice became a little low.

"If we can't give her that, why should we stop her from finding something that will give her peace of mind?"

Saiki Kusuo felt that he could not agree with this kind of thing. Death is not a very easy 'thing', but a one-way ticket that makes people unable to return.

'So you have to watch her die?Have you ever thought about your mother? '

"Then have you ever thought about your sister?"

"..."

Saiki Kusuo fell silent.He tilted his head, looked through the sliding door at Ayou who was sleeping soundly in another room, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

Many people will be sad when she dies, but her heart is hurt when she is alive.

There will always be someone to be sad about.

"So why not fulfill her?"

Saiki Kongsuke spoke ruthless words, but the emotion inside was so hot that people could clearly feel it.

"Compared to making my sister sad, I would rather be the one who is sad, don't you know?"

Saiki Kongsuke narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Sister, she has hypnotized everyone who knows her."

Saiki Kusuo suddenly opened his eyes wide.However, Sai Mu Kongsuke's next words still gave him a blow to the head.

"The content is that when you hear the news of her death, you will instantly forget all the memories about her."

'You actually...'

"Surprised?"

Qi Mukongzhu tilted his head.

"After all, my sister is such a gentle person, she doesn't even want others to feel sad for her."

Saiki Kusuo frowned deeply, he couldn't understand Saiki Sorasuke.Or he couldn't understand Qi Mukongzhu's 'weird' brain circuit at the moment.

Support family suicide?No fluctuations in being hypnotized?

"Well, Kusuo, you don't have to be so serious."

Seemingly entertained by Saiki Kusuo's appearance, Saiki Sosuke clapped his hands, and the style of painting changed.

"Because it's a loving family, of course I also want to be with my sister all the time."

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

Are you sure you want to stay together forever without stopping your sister from committing suicide?I'm afraid it's not because my sister's ashes are cold, will you hold the ashes together when the time comes?

"Oh, Kusuo, you think too much, although I thought so too."

Not feeling at all that he said something terrible, Saiki Kongsuke raised the corners of his mouth.

"After all, as a human being, I am also selfish, so I haven't offered help all this time."

Qimu Nanxiong: "..."

So I should also thank you for not making it more difficult for me to save people?

"Anyway."

Saiki Kongsuke stood up and stretched, he lowered his eyes to look at Saiki Kusuo who was standing motionless.

"It seems that Kusuo will not agree with what I say now, so Kusuo will find out by himself."

He turned and opened the sliding door, and the last words before closing it drifted into the air.

"Someday Kusuo will agree with me."

Sorry, no.

After staring at the sliding door closed by Saiki Sosuke for a while, Saiki Kusuo turned his eyes to the window.

The sky is endlessly blue, the golden sun hangs so high in the sky, the scattered sunlight shines on the outside world, so bright that for the first time Saiki Kusuo felt that the golden color was a bit dazzling.

He will definitely find a way to get the best of both worlds.

……

……

Natsume Takashi was a little gloomy, rather it had been like this since he returned home a few days ago.

He was sitting by the window at the moment, and his erratic gaze made it easy to know that his thoughts were drifting away at the moment.

"Are you still thinking about that kid?"

A familiar voice came into Natsume Takashi's ears, and Natsume Takashi's eyes moved, as if he suddenly woke up.He turned his head and saw Mr. Cat looking up at him.

"Isn't it already over?"

"The teacher I know."

Natsume Takashi lowered his eyelids, he looked at Mr. Kitty as usual, with some melancholy in his voice.

"I'm just wondering what the future holds for that kid?"

The girl who wants to die, and the family who desperately stop them, who will win in their end?

"If you want me to say that you worry too much."

Teacher Cat closed her eyes and lay down on the mat.

"No matter what the ending is, it's the path they chose. Instead of worrying about it here, you might as well think about the ten shares you owe me."

Yeah, it's all... wait? !

Natsume Takashi's expression became strange.

"Teacher, when did I owe you steamed buns, why didn't I know?!"

"Huh? You forgot? You forgot for me?"

Mr. Cat looked at Takashi Natsume in disbelief. It raised a paw and patted hard on the floor.

"The girl who invited me was the one who invited me. Did you count your share? If I had known, I would have eaten 100 more steamed buns!"

Natsume Takashi: "..."

Teacher, how did you manage to be so confident?

and also……

"Eat another 100 servings, teacher, are you a pig?"

Teacher, you are really enough!Believe it or not, you can eat pigs without you!

Teacher Cat gave Natsume Takashi a disdainful look, then raised his head proudly.

"Huh, if it weren't for you, how could I only eat a little? You know, I can eat 100 of you! I don't care! You owe me!"

Just when Takashi Natsume couldn't bear it anymore and was about to attack Mr. Cat, Toko Fujiwara's voice came from downstairs.

"Takashi! Someone is looking for you!"

"coming!"

After answering, Natsume Takashi, who was still wondering who would come looking for him, went downstairs and saw a pair of brother and sister.

"Take the liberty to come here, sorry for the interruption."

Facing the sunlight that slipped through the door, the girl who was crying silently a few days ago was now smiling softly and peacefully under the golden light.

Natsume Takashi's heart suddenly relaxed, and the originally worried mood had completely disappeared at this moment, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

The future... should be a better ending, right?
