What if my brother plans to destroy the whole family?

Hagiwara Kenji is a very talkative person.

Although I thought that among the four people, this one was the best at dealing with interpersonal relationships...but he didn't talk much before, and now he has a feeling of "ah sure enough" when talking.

The other party has a sister, and the age difference is not too big.I think it's just perfect.

Then in the following time, I asked some related questions with an attitude of humbly asking for advice.

The voice of the other party sounded a little confused, maybe a little confused, but because he was polite and considerate, he didn't ask me why, but patiently answered my questions.

After listening to it, I also felt that I had gained a lot, and thanked him from the bottom of my heart: "Thank you, Hagiwara-kun."

[You can just call me Hagiwara, no need to add honorifics...Hina, you ask so many questions, is it because you suddenly have a younger brother in your family? 】

"Ah... Actually, I have a younger brother." I couldn't help but sighed as I said that, "It's because I want to get along with my younger brother that I want to refer to other people's occasions... Anyway, thank you."

[You're welcome, it's just a matter of raising your hands, I hope you can get what you want. 】

After a few more polite words, I hung up the phone and looked at the missed call displayed on the phone. After a moment of silence, I took a deep breath and dialed again.

"Jay? I'm sorry, I was chatting with someone just now..."

Before I finished this sentence, the other party interrupted me directly: [Who is it? 】

I was taken aback: "...Huh?"

[Is that sister your mentor?I'm a little worried about disturbing your work...]

Ah...is that so?Also, last night I was directly summoned by my mentor.

This must be explained, otherwise it would be bad for Jie to mistakenly think that he called me and delayed my work and study.

I immediately smiled and said, "Ah, it's okay. It's not my teacher, it's my former friendship partner."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and the voice seemed a little hesitant: [Is it one of the four before?After only one day, sister, has your relationship with them improved? 】

"No, it's because a case is related to the case they're investigating, so I helped a little. Today's because he also happens to have a sister..." I was halfway through, and suddenly fell silent.

Ah, stop it.

Wouldn't this topic continue to reveal that I was asking how normal siblings get along... I immediately changed the subject and changed the topic to another place.

It's just that Jie didn't seem to want to talk to me more today, and the answers he gave after that were all slow and uninspired, and I always felt a little perfunctory.

I then thought about the incident that Jie Li was called away by the school immediately after I left yesterday, and I understood——Sure enough, is the frequency of this call too frequent?

That's right... For normal siblings... they only call once or twice a month, and they don't contact so frequently if they have nothing to do.

Thinking of Kenji Hagiwara's uncontrollable confusion while answering my question, I began to realize that my behavior was very wrong.

and so……

"If you find it troublesome, Jie, you can cancel this routine call." I made up my mind.

It should be more convenient for him to call again if he has something to do.After all, I managed too much and too broadly before.

This time, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

Just when I wanted to continue to say something, Jie's voice came: [Then once a week.In fact, after you get used to it, you can't change it all at once. 】

Are you used to it... So, it's still my problem.

"...Sorry." I said, with a solemn tone, "My previous actions have caused you a lot of trouble, Jie? I will change everything, and then you can return to a normal life..."

[Sister, what do you think my normal life is like? 】

The other party interrupted me directly, with a smile in his voice, and it sounded like there was nothing wrong with it.

I don't know if he asked this in a joking tone, but it's a bit accusatory...Damn it, I can tell if it's a video call at this time... No, stop.They all said you can't do this!

"That should be... a life without me interfering too much and restricting you." I sighed imperceptibly, with a hint of apology in my tone.

【...Why does my sister think that way? 】

"Because that's the truth." I replied with some helplessness, wanting to cite facts as evidence, for example, the other party has been subconsciously avoiding me and avoiding me after the Jiuchang Village incident before, and for example, the phone call is obviously absent-minded now ...But thinking of what Suzuki Ichiyo said before, he shut his mouth again.

If I cite evidence... What if Jie thinks it's a retreat?

Wouldn't it be more stressful.

"Okay! Jie, just treat me as distracted by love! I'm on my way back to the dormitory now so I won't say much. Ah, yes, but you should still contact me when you have business. If you If there is a need, as a sister, I will definitely help as soon as possible!" I said in a firm tone, "Because we are siblings."

The other party was silent for a long time, so long that I thought there was something wrong with my mobile phone or there was no signal, so I hummed lightly, and then hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the beeping sound on the other end of the phone, I always felt a little stuffy in my heart, and let out a long breath.

Sure enough, the distance is getting bigger and bigger... I always feel that Jie is actually becoming more and more impatient with me...

Forget it... at least I did, I've taken a big step!

It's really not easy, I always feel that I need to reward myself... Ah, why don't you go eat Chinese food tomorrow?But the store has to be re-selected.

The previous restaurant was obviously delicious, but because I ordered rice and dumplings at the same time, the Chinese boss scolded me, "Why do you want dumplings as a side dish because they are both staple foods", so let's change to another restaurant tomorrow... …

"Speaking of...after the socializing yesterday, did those girls have any objections?" After returning home, I suddenly noticed this blind spot, and asked while wiping my hair after taking a shower.

"They had big opinions at first, but Hagiwara-kun had a good chat with them and they both exchanged contact information, so it's okay." Suzuki Ichiyo looked at me with surprise, "You actually care about this? "

"Just a random question." I realized it in my heart - sure enough, Kenji Hagiwara is the king of Asashi Sea.

But I am still very grateful to him, he is so nice.

"You went to see him, right? Who was it among those four people? What was the result?" Suzuki Ichiyo leaned over with potato chips in his mouth.

"It's Zhu Fu, but you still don't think too much—" I raised my hand to press her head to push her away, sat down at the desk, and took out my mobile phone to check if there were any emails I missed just now.

"Ah, there is really...huh?" I looked at the message from my mother, with a hint of surprise on my face - it was asking when I would be free, please go to my cousin Miyamura Isumi's house .

"Hey? Zhu Fu? You really chose the one who is most like your brother!"

"That's not true! He doesn't have the attributes of a younger brother!"

"...You actually want to pick on your younger brother's attributes?! I understand, but you just simply like your younger brother, right?"

"I said no—and Jie... my younger brother is special to me. I still have a younger brother. Although he is a cousin, I am not like this."

"Hey, wouldn't that be more dangerous... But yes, think about it carefully, Zhu Fujun's eyes are quite big, not like your brother's."

"...My brother has fox eyes, so he's obviously handsome too, okay? It's a different taste. I don't like big eyes. If I like big eyes, I can just look in the mirror myself."

Suzuki Ichiyo, who was still in deep thought, turned pale with shock: "What?! You actually think your brother is like a vixen?!"

I was shocked: "...Is there something wrong with your ears? Didn't the family doctor of Suzuki's family give you regular checkups?"

-

As a result, Yiye and I went to the Chinese restaurant together the next day. This time, instead of ordering dumplings, we ordered roast duck.

Because the last case has just come to an end, I'm not busy this week, so I went to help my mother with things.

Miyamura Isumi is my cousin who is three years younger than me, but because our father's relationship is not that good, so our relationship is not too close, and we have only met three or four times in total.

After my mother and father divorced and then remarried, after I changed my surname with my mother, I had less contact.

It was after I went to college that my mother accidentally met my aunt, and the two had a good relationship before, so they started to contact again.

Including the fact that I learned from my mother that Miyamura Yisumi is actually going to get married... He hasn't graduated from high school yet, right? !This is too much!

But this time my mother asked me to go over, and it was also related to this incident.

She felt that as a courtesy, I needed to go over and congratulate.

So I took the gifts and gift money prepared by my mother and picked one of the Saturday afternoons.

My cousin’s family owns a cake shop, so I told my aunt to confirm when their shop would be available and then arrived at the location 10 minutes earlier.

"Aunt Yizhi, this is what my mother asked me to bring, and this is a gift money for Yicheng's wedding in advance." Speaking of this, I can only smile awkwardly, and tell the reason for the follow-up, "Because Mom said she wouldn't come even if there was a ceremony, because she didn't want to see father..."

"Oh, Mei is still the same." Auntie waved her hand in a nonchalant manner, "Really, there is no gift money, and according to the personality of the two children, they probably won't hold a wedding banquet, no necessary."

"Then take it as a simple blessing, you'd better accept it." I said with a smile, and looked at the boy who looked a lot like me, and my eyes changed suddenly, "Congratulations! Yicheng! Really, Quick, ah!"

"Thank you, thank you... Sister Yangcai, your eyes are terrifying."

It was a coincidence that I made the time, because there was no one in the store, and my cousin Yicheng didn't have a takeaway order to deliver, so he just sat down and chatted with me for a while.

Although we actually met very few times and spent a very short time together, there was actually no sense of distance when we chatted.

Because... we look alike, even siblings don't necessarily resemble us.Looking at each other's faces, the sense of strangeness will disappear.

It's not just us who think so, but my future cousins ​​think so too.

She came over not long after I chatted with Yicheng, she was shocked when she saw us, and dropped all the gifts in her hands on the ground, then looked at me for a while, and Yicheng for a while, and yelled out: " Two, two Miyamura—?!"

"..." I withdrew my scrutinizing gaze, and lowered my voice to talk to my cousin, "Yi Cheng, your wife doesn't look very smart."

Miyamura Isumi: "... Hori-san has very good grades."

Five minutes later, this Hori Kyoko took her seat, and she scratched her head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, because you and Miyamura really look alike..."

"Everyone who sees us will say that." I was also helpless, "But we are just cousins."

"Sister Yangcai, are you a college student now?"

"Sister Yangcai is a student at the University of Tokyo, and she's from the Faculty of Law."

"Hey?! It's amazing——"

"It's nothing, there are a lot of great people in Dongda...although there are also a lot of strange people."

My future younger sibling Hori Kyoko is a very talkative and familiar girl, lively and outgoing, and also cute.

Yi Cheng has picked up a treasure, this girl's personality is very complementary to his.

Moreover, the surname Hori reminds me of my senior, Masahiro Hori, who took good care of me in high school, which made me have a high initial favorability.

Because I have nothing to do today, and I haven't seen my cousins ​​for a long time, I simply stayed for a while to chat with them, and by the way, I gave guidance on issues related to studies and employment.

So far, everything is working fine.

Then, I talked about my internship in a law firm and my entry into the legal profession.

"If you need help in the future, you can find me. Relatives will get a [-]% discount."

"It's better not to use this kind of discount, right?" Miyamura Isumi complained.

After staring at my face for a long time, Kyoko Hori suddenly asked with a serious face: "Miss Yangcai, are you a lawyer? Can you say some interrogation lines in a stern tone? Strict ones, swear words does not matter."

"... Huh?" I looked at the other party's look of anticipation and enthusiasm, and couldn't help but turned to look at Miyamura Yisumi, "Yisumi, your wife seems to have a problem..."

And Miyamura Yisumi's complexion didn't look too good. When I looked over, I didn't look away, and the whole person looked a little gloomy: "I'm sorry, Miss Haruna, please. Because I can't satisfy Hori-san Interest in this..."

"...Wait! Can you listen to what you said?!" I was shocked-what's going on, you guys! ?

After an embarrassing 5 minutes of messy explanations, I finally extracted the key information from the mouths of the unmarried couple-yes, it was Kyoko Hori's bad taste.I hope Miyamura Isumi treats herself a little rougher.

And that's right, it's because my face is too similar to Yi Cheng, which made her want to move.And Yi Cheng's personality is right there, and he's a bit hard at acting in this aspect...Damn it!Isn't this treating me as a meal? !

My cousin really picked up a treasure!

Although it's strange and even incomprehensible, this is also the first time I've met my cousins...and in essence, I can reject them very simply for outsiders, but it's a bit difficult for relatives.

And this kind of thing is not too difficult, it is harmless...

"I see..." I looked at Kyoko Hori, and said hesitantly, "So...do I need to add actions?"

"Come on! Ah, sister, can you tie up your hair?"

Me: "..." You are really a thorough substitute!Obviously the Lord is right next to him!Yi Cheng is looking at you... Huh?How did you become looking at me?

I cast a puzzled look, Miyamura Yisumi noticed it, and replied seriously: "I'm studying on the sidelines!"

"...You two are really a perfect match." I said with emotion.

This is the so-called what pot with what cover!

But I'll just cooperate...Since it's the couple's interest in the teaching, it's okay to swear, right?Anyway, this is my cousin...

Can you say something for couples?Let me think about it, I remember seeing a similar collection of lines in some book...

I raised my hand to tie up my long hair, and then faced Hori Kyoko. After a moment of silence, I stood up and walked up to her, raised my hand to grab her hair and pulled her back, and grabbed her jaw with the other hand Forced her to look up at me, raised her chin towards her, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said in an arrogant tone: "What are you doing with that shocked expression? Didn't you come here begging for mercy? The private trial that will be held next , It all stems from your shameless request... Don't move! Do you want me to tie you to a chair and continue?"

Uh... at this level, it should be fine, right?I always feel that the last development doesn't seem to work well... Forget it, let's see if the young couple like it or not and decide whether to learn or not.

After I finished speaking, I let go of my hand. Just as I was about to say sorry, I heard the bell ringing at the door of the store.

I subconsciously looked towards the door, and then froze for a while.
