brothers fight back

"Still angry?" William was a little surprised to see that the dessert Louis sent to Kuji was brought back as it was.

Louis looked down at the desserts in his hands, and after a moment of silence, he replied, "I don't know."

He knocked on the door several times in a row, but there was no answer in the room.

"After all, that was his first time cooking. As brothers, we should encourage him more, but we...and..." Louis still lowered his head, recalling the busy state since then—in the work During the complete end, none of the three of them had time to take care of Kuji.

Thinking of this, Louis sighed: "I didn't apologize in time."

After listening to Louis' self-blaming words, William shook his head, "He's not angry because of this."

Louis looked up at William suspiciously, "That's... because of what?"

"He 'saw' what we've been doing without telling him during this time." William's eyes were determined.

Louis froze.

The two brothers stood quietly in the corridor.

"Can't you get him involved?"

"No."

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door again, Hisashi, who was still in a daze at his transparent body, quickly put down the hem of his clothes, using it to cover up the problematic parts of his body.

"Kusi, let's talk."

Hearing that the voice at the door came from William, His face instantly became extremely ugly.He opened the door cautiously, covered his body with the door and put his head out to "face" William who was standing elegantly at the door: "Brother William, why are you looking for me so late?"

""so late"? Hearing this, William raised his eyebrows, and then noticed that the light at the crack of the door was dim, "Open the door." "

"Oh." Jiu Siyuan was a little afraid of William, but now he felt guilty because he concealed his own situation, and became even more timid.Noticing the change in William's tone, he immediately opened the door, completely forgetting that he had the most favorable "handle".

William watched Kuji carefully, noticing the momentary nervousness he displayed when he raised his hand to turn on the light.

"Snapped--."

The light was turned on, bringing light into the dark bedroom.

William pretended not to notice Jiuji's unnaturalness, and went straight to sit in front of the only sofa in the room. He knocked on the armrest beside the sofa and said, "Close the door."

Hearing this, the expression on Jiuji's face immediately became very reluctant, and he struggled to discuss with William: "Do you have to close the door?"

"Close." William folded his hands, looking at Jiuji who was standing at the door and was ready to turn around and run away at any moment.

"Oh." Jiuji obediently closed the door behind him.

"Come here." William put his folded hands on his lips, motioning for Kuji to move forward. When he saw the child across the street walking slowly as if he was facing a fierce beast, he didn't urge him.

"Brother William." Jiuji estimated the safe distance, stood one meter away from William, and asked again: "What's the matter?"

"Why is Kuji avoiding us these days?"

Yes, "hide".

Jiuji has a good personality, and he has never shown such a temper when he received rude people directly, let alone his temper with those close to him for so long.

Before meeting Kuji, William made some estimates of Louis' judgment.After meeting Jiuji, especially after observing his nervousness... William can almost confirm his inner guess——Juji is not angry, and the reason why he avoids the three of them is because he has other things to hide from everyone!

"Obviously the older brothers are "hiding" me, and they don't take me with them in everything. "Facing William's direct entry into the topic, Jiuji responded cautiously. Not only did he not directly step into William's language trap, but he even showed an appearance of being wronged.

William was amused by Jiuji's reaction, and after a moment of contemplation, he asked seriously: "Are you sure you want us to take you with us in everything?"

Hisashi was taken aback when he heard the words, and began to observe William seriously, "Will brother William take me?"

"Of course." William smiled harmlessly at Kuji.

Kuji: "..." Strange?Why can't he be happy at all?

"Since Kuji started avoiding his brothers because of this incident, now that the matter has been resolved, Jiuji can no longer hide from his brothers from now on." William put down his folded hands and stood up, every time he took a step closer to Jiusi, You can see Kuji taking a step back in panic.

"Obviously my brothers are avoiding me." Kuji backed away in a panic to prevent William from getting too close to discover his abnormality, while insisting that the "fact" would not be shaken by William's words.

"As long as Kuji doesn't hide, we will always be by your side." William finished this sentence with very profound words, then bypassed Jiuji and opened the door to leave.

Seeing William leave, Kuji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this a secret?"

Hisuji looked at the light above his head, and asked his heart in an uncertain tone.

The next day, Louis was a little surprised to see Jiuji who took the initiative to come to the seat next to him to sit down and have breakfast.

"Brother Louis." Taking advantage of Albert and William's absence, Jiuji lowered his voice and discussed with Louis: "Can you let me follow you all the time?"

"...Yes." Louis thought carefully that there was nothing he needed to go out to deal with today, so he complied with Jiuji's request.

After a while, he found that he still couldn't figure out why Kuji suddenly became so clingy... Obviously yesterday he still let himself knock on the door and ignore him.

"Kusi, why did you suddenly..."

"Hmm... The kid finally hid his little secret?" Albert walked into the restaurant, seeing Hisashi Kirikiri who had deliberately avoided the three of them these days, and deliberately "scare" him with words.

Sure enough, Jiuji showed a slight expression of being poked into a secret by his elders.

"Brother Albert." After a long time, Jiuji was willing to come out to have breakfast with everyone. Louis was worried that Albert would provoke him with words again, so he immediately called Albert and said stiffly, "Good morning."

"Good morning. Louis, Jiuji." Understanding what Louis meant, Albert stopped teasing Jiuji.

But after taking his seat, Albert looked at Jiuji who was frozen in his position, and suddenly apologized: "I'm sorry. Last time I deliberately didn't recognize that it was Jiuji who made the apple pie... I have been reflecting on myself during this time. "

Albert apologized in a heavy tone, but it made Jiuji feel uncomfortable. He raised his eyes and glanced at Albert, saw his extremely serious expression, quickly looked away, and replied in a low voice and awkwardly: "Albert Brother clearly knows that I don't care about that."

When Louis heard this, he first observed Albert's reaction to Jiuji's words, and seeing that the other party was not moved at all, Louis looked at Jiuji suspiciously, "What do you care about?"

Hisashi who was questioned fell silent.

"Why hasn't William come yet?" Albert looked at the empty seat.

"Brother William took the math test today and left early in the carriage." When asked about William, Louis remembered that he hadn't told Albert and Jiuji about William's plans for his future career.

"Math exam?" Hisashi repeated Louis' words.

Louis nodded, "Brother William told me before leaving that I will take you there after you wake up and have breakfast."

Hisashi Kirikiri, who had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, said, "...is it okay if I don't go?"

"Kusi, you know that Brother William's "order" cannot be disobeyed. "

Hearing the unfamiliar word "order", the corner of Hisuji's mouth twitched, "Is this some kind of punishment game?"

Albert probably guessed the cause of the incident—perhaps it was some agreement between William and Jiuji.

Thinking that this was the result of the "game" between William and Kuji, Albert poured another cup of black tea in a good mood to celebrate Kuji's upcoming busy "life".

William sat upright in the classroom, calmly coping with the three professors' joint questions. As the difficulty of the questions increased, William began to meditate, but they all quickly gave the correct answer.

The three professors whispered to each other, exchanged opinions quietly, and finally wrote down the scores and comments on the resume provided by William.

"We cannot deny and are willing to admit Sir Moriarty's talent. But even if you have passed the qualification test, as long as you are a teacher at your current age, it will be difficult to convince students. It is better to start as a teaching assistant and wait until your age Then consider whether you want to become a teacher again."

Louis led Jiuji to William's exam site, and happened to hear a professor preaching to William in terms of age.

"Is brother William going to be a teacher?" Jiuji leaned on the window, poking his head to observe the development of the room.

"I don't know." Louis frowned, not liking those professors' comments on Brother William.

"Even if there is only one student, I will strictly fulfill my obligations as a teacher."

The professor who questioned William but received an unceremonious response from the other party turned livid.

"Brother William's counterattack is so cool." Jiuji stared at William, who counterattacked the opponent with fair words, with bright eyes.

The battlefield without gunpowder is also particularly attractive.

"That professor took a fancy to Brother William's academic research results." Louis still had some impressions of the professor just now—

Earlier, before Jiuji moved into Moriarty's mansion, the other party came to visit Moriarty, secretly asking for the academic research results of William's brother.Fortunately, the person who received the other party at that time was Brother Albert, so he did not let the other party succeed.

"Huh?" Jiuji looked back at Louis, "He wants brother William to achieve his achievements in academia? Hmm... let brother William hide behind the scenes as a "gunner"? "

"Yeah." Louis nodded.

"There are people like this in academia too?" Jiuji frowned.

"Ah, after all, studying is still a very "noble" thing now. "Louis put his hand on Jiuji's shoulder and said in a low voice: "If you can use force to eradicate the enemy who is not good for brother William, I will take the sword in my hand and swing at him without hesitation. "

"Brother Louis." Jiuji raised his hand and patted Louis's hand on his shoulder. Today he wore pure black gloves to cover his skin tightly except his face, but because of the movement of raising his hand, A section of the almost transparent wrist joint was exposed, "Solve the matter in a gentle way."

"Kusi, you..." Louis widened his eyes, pulled Jiuji's hand abruptly, carefully took off a piece of glove, looked at the almost transparent skin, gritted his teeth and made a quick decision, "Let's get out of here right now! "

"Yeah, isn't this the child of the Moriarty family?"

Louis pulled Kuji and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Kenneth, the head of the El-Melloi family.

"It seems that your brother has successfully passed the test." Kenneth glanced at the scene in the classroom, and immediately understood why Louis and Jiuji appeared here.

"Congratulations." Kenneth sincerely sent blessings to the two teenagers in front of him.

"Thank you." Louis pulled Kuji behind him, and cautiously dealt with Patriarch El Mello in front of him.

"Don't be so nervous." Kenneth showed a gentlemanly smile to Louis. "The student behind you is my future student. I will not do inappropriate things to my students and their families with the teacher's morality."

Hisashi was stunned when he heard that, he had clearly expressed his refusal to Albert's brother to become Kenneth's student at home.But what the other party said now is obviously an act of ignorance of this matter.

Louis did not relax his vigilance at Kenneth's words until William came out of the classroom and stood behind him.

"I didn't expect to meet again here today, Lord."

Facing the head of El-Melloi who was standing in front of him blocking the way, William smiled very politely.
