face, big double eyelid eyes.Full lips under the small nose.Although I seem to feel inferior to my appearance, I always mutter "I really want to be a beauty like my brother", but this unremarkable appearance and her own temperament are also the advantages of a girl.

Unlike the current 16-year-old peers, the girl still has the temperament of the Showa era. Although she was born in Heisei, but probably because her parents are old, she has always had a kind of power that can calm people around her.And this is exactly what the older Kamiya lacks.In the eyes of outsiders, the brothers and sisters of the Kamiya family have such different personalities that it is completely unexpected that they are a family.

"Gee - isn't that a lovely coat - isn't it, the boy's father."

Mother said happily while serving the after-dinner coffee on a tray.

"Yeah, cauliflower is perfect for this pink hue."

The drooping corners of my father's eyes, which make people look good at a glance, are now even lower.

"However, Yeji's girls' clothes are really tasteful, and my mother was a little surprised. Ah, did my girlfriend choose them?"

"I'm very busy at work now, and I don't have time to have a girlfriend."

Cauliflower's coat was chosen by his colleague, the wife of the inspection officer Kiuchi.

"Are you still so busy at work?"

Kamiya nodded to his father who was asking the question.

"Most judicial trainees become lawyers and judges, but very few are committed to being prosecutors. Thanks to this situation, the work is always piled up like a mountain."

While talking, my mother interjected again.

"So there's not even time for a date?"

The mother, who felt that her 29-year-old son was about to start a family, was very eager to have a girlfriend.So while saying "Well, I have a nice thing to tell you...", I picked up the envelope on the cabinet and walked over.But before Shengu said that there was no need for a blind date, Huacai took the envelope away and put it back in the cabinet.

The younger sister just sat on the sofa wearing a coat.

"Okay, brother, don't get married."

"What are you talking about. The busier you are at work, the more a man wants to start a family and find a wife to take care of him."

"Then let Cauliflower do it! Cauliflower can take care of my brother's housework."

"I'm talking about cauliflower. My brother is a prosecutor. He has to be transferred every two or three years. I don't know whether I will go north to Hokkaido or south to Okinawa."

"It doesn't matter, no matter where I go, I will go with my brother. So my brother doesn't need to get married."

"Flowers—vegetables—"

As soon as the mother lowered her face, the younger sister would grab Kamiya's wrist exaggeratedly, showing a timid expression.Seeing the mother and daughter like this, the father narrowed his eyes slightly.A smile appeared on Kamiya's face.

Family reunion, family happiness.It just makes people laugh.Yes, like someone else's business.

This somewhat unusual sense of meaninglessness towards the existence of the family is probably due to meeting Hisumi before.Thanks to this accidental meeting, the feeling of nowhere in the family that I felt in adolescence suddenly recovered in one breath.

"Well, it's a bad coat if it gets dirty. Go hang it on the hanger!"

Hearing the mother's lecture, the younger sister replied dissatisfiedly with "Yes—" and stood up.

Because of the departure of his sister, Kamiya was greatly relieved.Not only towards her younger sister, Kamiya often feels alienated towards people indiscriminately like this.

The existence of those so-called "others" who are constantly approaching oneself.

That night, Kamiya, who was staying at his hometown, dreamed of his high school days.It was a dream about Kusumi Takumo.

...a classroom colored by the setting sun.

Kamiya and Hisumi, who were wearing uniforms, were immersed in the red.

On a table not far from Kamiya who was standing with his back to the window, Hissumi sat with one leg up.Unlike Kamiya, who wore a crimson tie neatly around his neck, his uniform buttoned up to the top, Hisumi's tie hung loosely around his neck, and the hem of his shirt was messily exposed.

Hisasumi impatiently lifted the slightly longer hair on his forehead, and the earrings on his ears were also faintly shining.

In the Kyudo club where Kamiya is the chief general, Takumo Hisumi, a new first-year member, is just as frivolous and half-ass boy as he appears on the surface.From the beginning of joining the club in the spring until the fall, the attendance rate of club activities is very poor.

Although I seem to have learned archery when I was in middle school, I haven't mastered the method of drawing a bow at all.

Whether it is walking in the dojo or other actions, it is completely the same as normal walking.Reckless and rough.It's just a matter of simply spreading your feet apart and roughly erecting your bow.But when he picked up the arrow and drew the string—for some reason, at that moment, both his gaze and posture were unexpectedly correct and coordinated.Then, without reservation, the arrow was shot out.Unbelievably fast.

While all the members were stunned, Hissumi's arrow still rushed forward with a disregarded explosive force, and hit the bull's-eye accurately as if being attracted by the target.

... Members like Kamiya and the others obey the rules nervously in order to rectify their bodies and minds, and sometimes even hold their bows like they are entangled in a problem in a philosophy book, but Hisumi can put all of these aside, perfect ground shot.

To put it bluntly, it is jealousy.Feeling a little annoyed, he comforted himself by thinking that this was just a lucky shot that he just happened to hit.

However, no matter how many times he shot, Jiuyu never shot past the center of the target disk.

Gorgeous and outstanding appearance, wild temperament, super archery talent.

Kusumi is an existence that gives people a very strong impression.

At that time, for Kamiya, who felt depressed in the family environment, and Kusumi, the entangled feelings for Kusumi were subtly real and vivid.

Finally, during the summer vacation, I had the opportunity to practice archery with Jiusumi.

It was also at this time that Kamiya accepted the existence of Kusumi while harboring complicated feelings.Accept, even though he said this, it was just Kamiya's own inner world thoughts, and he didn't become particularly close to Kusumi.

Then summer passed, and autumn came.

Something happened.

In the archery competition, the rival school that has been competing with Beiwang Temple for the championship, the master was attacked by bad elements, and his left hand was broken.In the incident that happened on the road at night, it is said that the bad guy was wearing Beiwangsi's gray uniform and dark green pants, with slightly longer hair and earrings.

In Beiwangsi High School, which had strict school rules at that time, there were only a handful of people who dared to wear earrings.

Also, Hissumi always wears small silver earrings.

...Hisusumi's guardian, his uncle Sakurazawa Sohei is a member of the Kiyanagi group, which makes people more and more suspicious of Kusumi.

And because of the scar under his left eye, everyone's impression of him was even worse, and he began to call him "Scarface" in school.That scar was the result of hanging out with real gang members in middle school, and rumors began to spread quietly.

So no matter whether it was the teachers of Beinoji Temple or the members of the Kyudo Club, they made Jiusumi the prisoner without even doing a thorough investigation.This is unforgivable to Kamiya.Anyway, he should listen to what Kusumi said, and decide right from wrong after careful consideration, so Kamiya called Kusumi to the second-grade classroom after school.

"So, when the incident happened, you, Kusumi, were in the hotel with your classmate Izumikawa, um...in the hotel?"

"It's a love hotel, rest there."

"Because it would bring trouble to Izumikawa-san, why didn't you tell the teacher?"

Was it deliberately concealed because of concerns about the girl's reputation?Kusumi blinked mockingly.

"Fool, that's not the case!"

"Then why?"

"Why? Nothing will change."

"Eh?"

"Whether the prisoner is me or not, nothing will change. I have a background in a violent gang, and it is a fact that I have a bad character."

"Just because you can't wash it off, so you don't even want to justify?"

"Forget it, even I have already said so."

Kamiya tightened his face seriously.

"Jiuyu, leave it to me. I will investigate to the end, find out the truth, and never let you be unfairly punished."

Kusumi's eyes seemed to be looking at something disgusting, and then suddenly looked away.

"The truth or something, it's really annoying. Whether I was suspended from school or banned, it has nothing to do with you, right? Hurry up and punish me, let them talk about it!"

After speaking, he stood up from the table.

Kamiya hurriedly caught up with Hissumi who was walking towards the door, and grabbed his arm.Those arms, which can easily shoot arrows without practice, are surprisingly strong.

"Hey, is there anything else?"

Kusumi looked closely at Kamiya's face with an impatient expression.

"I hate it when innocent people are wronged like this and I can't pretend I don't see it."

"..."

As if feeling distressed, Hisagi parted his lips slightly and let out a sigh.

Those brown eyes were fixed on Kamiya.

"That is to say—are you going to be my companion?"

companion.Hearing this word, Kamiya hesitated.

The so-called companion, the premise is to affirm the other party and trust the other party.Sometimes it is even necessary to distort the facts to judge, so as to put the other party in a favorable situation.

——Standing on such a biased position, the truth will also be covered up.
