[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Uesugi's mother seems to be in a surprisingly good mood today.

This can be seen from Kazuya and Tatsuya's much richer breakfast than usual.

However, the two brothers are very good at reading the air, and none of them were so happy when they asked their mother what happened. Instead, they ate the breakfast on the table and responded to their mother's love (?) with actions.

After breakfast, Kazuya and Xiaonan naturally helped clean up the table and wash the tableware, while Tatsuya lay lazily in the living room and pressed the TV one after another.

The chatting and laughing of the three people in the kitchen didn't make him feel uncomfortable at all, even Xiaonan poked his head out halfway and complained that Tatsuya, you were lazy, why didn't you come in to help and smugly vomited at her Tongue.

"Isn't there a Kazuya?" He said it as a matter of course.

He didn't know how the boy in the kitchen seemed to be normal and gentle on the surface, but actually returned to the present from the distant future. When he heard him say such lines in such a tone, how did he move? It froze for a moment.

It turned out that it had already started so early.

Kazuya smiled wryly while continuing to wipe the dishes with his hands as if nothing had happened.

He knew that because of his own existence, his elder brother was somewhat lazy and easy-going, so he didn't fight for anything all the time, and his life was muddling along. Kazuya couldn't criticize his elder brother's attitude towards life, but he always felt that , perhaps it is precisely because of his own existence, Tatsuya, who is obviously talented and talented, has not bloomed his own light for a long time.

Although he knew that his thoughts were hypocritical.

He said it as if it was all because of himself that his brother suppressed his talent and was willing to be ordinary under the discussion of everyone.

But who knows, is this one of the possibilities?

Although it is said that he let go of all his obsessions, he realized everything and let go of everything at the moment he saw his brother and Xiaonan's wedding, but when he returned to the present many years ago with an incomparably real attitude, he really Can you not care about anything, change nothing, think about nothing?

And I also feel that I can't do it.

He was at a loss for a moment.

This time, I will no longer compete with Tatsuya for Xiaonan, no longer make the relationship between the three of them as complicated as it was before his death, no longer be an obstacle to the happiness of those two people, and no longer be that gentle person who is unwilling to refuse to be with her. Hurt anyone, but in the end, it is Prince Kazuya who is his most beloved.

He obviously made such a decision when he just returned to the present.

but……

When it was implemented, it was found that it was so difficult to really do it.

Because he is Uesugi Kazuya.

Even though he wandered around those two people in the form of a soul for many years after death, from the initial unwillingness to regret to the final peace and relief, he seemed to have realized a lot, and seemed to have penetrated a lot, but he was still him after all. Immediately it was no longer his.

no way.

Only take your time.

The turbulent thoughts in my heart dissipated completely in an instant. If we want to say what is the most precious wealth that Kazuya has brought to Kazuya after being alone for a long time without being noticed by anyone or being perceived by anyone as a ghost for many years , the answer must be that he has become extremely good at controlling his emotions.

It won't work if you don't become good at it.

If he is defeated by the sense of loneliness that no one is watching and the gradually rising mad desire to destroy, what awaits him may be neither a chance to start over nor an eternal sleep, but another kind, he I don't even want to think about the ending.

After drying the last plate and putting it back on the shelf, Kazuya wiped his hands before turning and walking into the living room.

It happened that Tatsuya turned off the TV in boredom and was about to leave.

"Where is brother going?"

"Go back to the room."

"Go back to sleep?"

"Ah."

Kazuya looked at Tatsuya who was already yawning, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Brother, did you forget something?"

"...What?" Tatsuya opened his mouth half-opened, and blinked at him slowly.

Kazuya narrowed his eyes, "So brother, you are always like this."

While talking, he took Tatsuya's hand aggressively, and walked towards the entrance that was completely opposite to the stairs leading to the two brothers' rooms on the second floor.

Tatsuya, who was being held back, looked bewildered.

"Wait, wait! What's going on? Where are you taking me?"

There was no struggle in his movements, but he kept asking questions one after another.

And ignore him.

The two of them put on their shoes and came to the yard. Tatsuya, who was finally let go of his hands, rubbed his shoulders. He didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, but he was still complaining: "It hurts, Kazuya, why are you using so much strength?" .”

Kazuya still ignored him and went straight into the study room.

Tatsuya stood in the courtyard and sighed silently.

Something is wrong with my brother.

As the twin elder brother, he actually perceives and detects Kazuya's strangeness more sensitively and accurately than Xiaonan and his own mother who has always been a bit big.

Although it doesn't seem like something bad is wrong, but...

"Oh." Tatsuya sighed heavily.

Kazuya came out of the study room, baseball glove and bat in hand.

"Ah..." Tatsuya, who turned around, saw what he was holding in his hand, and seemed to think of something, "What?" He relaxed, "So you want my brother to play baseball with you? Really Ah, Kazuya-kun, how old are you..."

While teasing, he reached out and tried to take the bat from Kazuya's hand, but he was dodged lightly by the other party.

"elder brother."

The young man who had almost the same appearance as him straightened his back, took two steps back and stood opposite him, with an extremely serious look on his face that made Da's heart skip a beat for no reason.

"According to the agreement just now, let's have a serious competition."

There was something unknown in his tone that made Tatsuya feel a little uncomfortable.

"Hey, you're too serious, Kazuya-san!" Tatsuya tried to ease the strange atmosphere between the two of them through his usual gag.

Whoever wants to make peace is simply unwilling to cooperate.

"Come and take a bet, and compete with me seriously, brother."

He said, handing the bat in his hand to Tatsuya: "If I win, my brother will join the baseball club."

As soon as this remark came out, not only Tatsuya, but also Xiaonan who felt that the atmosphere between the two brothers was not right, so he ran out worriedly to check the situation, was also stunned.
