【Ahe, did I do something wrong? 】

Houtaro's dazed and weak tone contained a hint of inadvertent panic. Oreki Crane's expression and voice kept popping up in his mind as he lay on the bed. The constant replay in his mind made Oreki Crane frowned sadly.

"Found a distressed kitten~"

A sound of laughter interrupted Oreki Crane's thoughts, the moment Oreki Crane let go of his hands and opened his eyes, the smiling girl in front of him pinched Oreki He's soft face with one hand without any politeness:

"My little crane, finally willing to come back?"

"It hurts, sister."

Oreki Crane's soft face will make people unable to stop when you pinch it. Oreki Tsuru's favorite is pinching Oreki Crane's face. This older sister has a great interest in tossing her younger siblings of.

"It's hard to go home, what are you thinking with a sad face?"

"..."

Oreki Tsuru pursed his mouth and did not speak, but it seemed that neither Oreki Houtarou nor Oreki Crane could escape the eyes of Oreki Koke. This woman has been creepy since before, and Oreki Koke curled the corners of her mouth smiled:

"Is it because of Houtaro?"

Guess right.

Oreki Crane still acted like a baby when he was a child, lying on Oreki Koke's lap slowly curled up, like a kitten that needs to be groomed, Oreki Koke smiled lightly:

"Regret?"

Zhemu Crane frowned and thought blankly, then muttered in his mouth and replied:

"do not know."

Oreki Tsurue still smiled and didn't speak after hearing this answer, but she gently stroked Oreki Crane's hair, as if comforting a girl, making Oreki Crane feel relaxed, but thinking of Oreki Houtarou's With a weak question, Oreki Tsuru asked Oreki Kouji:

"Sister, am I self-willed?"

Oreki Tsurue raised his eyebrows, the girl's nice and gentle voice was sharp, she felt that Oreki Crane's question was incorrect:

"Ah, everyone will encounter problems more or less, and then go to a place to find the answer. Whether you think it is self-willed or you think it is escape, the most important thing is, have you found your answer?"

Oreki Crane made a small face bitterly, that look was very interesting, the girl's voice was waxy, she turned her head which was resting on Oreki Koeke's lap, and replied with a pout:

"found it."

"What is it?"

Oreki Crane gave a wry smile in frustration and helplessness:

"I... really depend on Houtaro too much."

Oreki Koke heard this and laughed: "It wouldn't be bad to rely on a little more, you are siblings."

Instead, she hopes that her younger siblings will rely on her more, but Houtaro is too independent and strong. Although the young man advocates saving energy and is not interested in anything, he already has the independence to make his own decisions. Disappeared, even this younger sister, he took better care of her than her.

Oreki Crane shook his head, and the girl said distressedly:

"It's too dependent. As long as I'm by Houtaro's side, I feel... I can't do anything. Houtaro can help me solve everything. With Houtaro by my side, I feel like I own the whole world. It’s good to have Houtaro, but this kind of happiness made me realize a problem, if Houtaro is no longer by my side... Houtaro... will not be with me forever, he will have his own life in the future, And I, who rely too much on Houtaro, will I be just a waste of nothing without Houtaro?"

"...So you want to go to Tokyo to study alone, just want to see if you can be independent after leaving Houtaro?"

Oreki Tsurue could guess the reason for Oreki Tsuru's departure from the very beginning, but after Oreki Tsuru told the reason, she felt angry and funny.

"...If I stay here to study, I won't be able to resist looking for Houtarou."

Oreki Crane puffed up her cheeks angrily, you all underestimate her degree of dependence on others!

"Then you can wait until high school..."

Oreki Crane vigorously shook his head, the girl raised her eyelids and said coolly:

"Sister, overdependence is a disease that needs to be cured."

Saying that, Oreki Crane puffed up his cheeks again and said:

"It feels good to be dependent on Houtaro, but one day it will come to an end, and what I'm more afraid of than leaving Houtaro for nothing is that he's sick of me, and also, it's a horrible feeling, being too dependent on others, feeling like your own Emotions, self-confidence, and self-esteem are completely controlled by others, and other people's emotions and judgments will determine my emotions, I have no choice and thoughts of my own, I don't want to do this, sister."

Oreki Tsurue was stunned, now she knew the real reason why Oreki Crane wanted to leave, she was afraid that over-reliance on one person would form a disease, a habit, which would deprive her of her independence and self.

"..."

Houtarou Oreki stood outside the door, lowered his head and listened to the voices inside the door. The young man's green pupils were flickering with incomprehensible emotions, which were obscure and expressionless, covering all his emotions. He finally knew the reason why Oreki Crane left. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he did something wrong, but that the guy had a second stroke and wanted to go out and be independent.

Thinking about it, Houtarou Oreki rubbed his messy hair, his usually calm eyes showed a helpless emotion:

【...Depend on...? 】

Oreki Houtaro felt that he could understand Oreki Tsuru's reason for leaving, but he didn't accept it!Thinking of the boy, he frowned angrily.

Who is the person who makes him worry about this and that?That guy Oreki Crane thought he had so much extra energy to take care of her!It's not that that guy is easy to worry about!Few tendons, single cell, it's because she always does some things that worry him, so he finds a way to solve it for her, okay?

Oreki Houtaro felt that he was wronged, and he was justified by being too kind to her? !

The door was opened suddenly, Oreki Houtarou couldn't react in time, and he met the Oreki Crane who opened the door, both of them looked at each other in surprise, they looked dazed and neither of them spoke, Oreki Koe left the room with a smile There was room for the two to talk, but it seemed that the atmosphere was a bit stalemate, and neither of them spoke first.

"...You, you heard it."

Oreki Crane spoke first, his cautious appearance made people easy to soften his heart, Oreki Houtaro nodded stiffly, compared with Oreki Crane's cautious appearance, his reaction was a bit more rigid, he pointed his index finger in embarrassment Scratching his cheeks, his gaze shifted to the side, and he answered indistinctly:

"Ah... um."

Oreki Houtarou finally set his sights on Oreki Crane. Oreki Crane was afraid that he would be angry if Oreki Houtarou knew about his self-willed reason. The girl asked uncomfortably:

"...I'm sorry, Houtaro, I'm self-willed."

Oreki Houtarou was startled, he lowered his voice and said: "...No, I can understand your scruples..."

But when the words changed, the boy snorted angrily:

"But I don't accept such an excuse!"

"Hey?"

Oh what, Houtarou Oreki murmured in his heart, saying that suddenly he went to Tokyo to study and left him to face his sister's torture alone, even this is the reason, I will not forgive you simply, But that's what I thought in my heart, but Houtarou Oreki still didn't want to see Crane being distressed or worried about him, Houtaro Oreki pursed his lips, and said lightly:

"Although I don't accept your reason, I still support your choice."

Oreki Crane grinned, this is one of the reasons why she can't leave Houtaro, no matter what happened or what happened, Houtaro first satisfied what she wanted, and then how to treat it Whether this matter is right or wrong, no matter whether it is righteous or not, what Houtaro cares about is not the truth, but whether the result is what she wants.

This young man protected her well, removed all thorns and paved a smooth road for her.

"...Thank you, Houtaro."

Oreki Houtaro turned his head away, the slightly frowned brows were not expressions of impatience, but seemed to be brewing some kind of emotion. After a long time, Oreki Houtaro took a deep breath:

"Before, the thing you said would not happen..."

As he said that, the boy added: "I'm tired of you."

【What I'm more afraid of than leaving Houtarou for nothing is that he's tired of me. 】

This is what I just said to Oreki Kyie, is Houtaro explaining this sentence to her?

Oreki Crane looked into Oreki Houtaro's eyes blankly and asked word by word:

"Really?"

The young man returned to his flustered look at the beginning, his eyes shifted to the side, and the pleasant voice continued intermittently:

"Well... yes, although it's a bit early to say it now, but... I want you to know..."

Houtarou Oreki's cheeks were a little red, and the young boy's voice spoke resonantly at this moment, like an oath, he said to Oreki Crane word by word:

"Ah He... I, I have always included you in my life plan, and I will never abandon you."

【So, it's okay for you to rely on me a little bit. 】

Oreki Houtaro didn't say it, and he didn't want to say it, it doesn't fit his character, but as long as Oreki Crane is around, he is not like himself, he puts down his energy conservationism, and all the attention turns around her .

"Houtaro, I really like you the most!"

Oreki Crane threw himself into Oreki Houtaro's arms, the boy staggered a bit, and hugged the girl's shoulders, the boy looked calm, and replied angrily:

"This sentence can't offset my resentment against you going to Tokyo to study."

"Wow, I actually used resentment, do I need to get rid of my spirit?"

"Take your life!!"

The two started arguing again, and Oreki Koke, who made himself a cup of coffee, listened to the movement in the living room, and the girl smiled quietly.

The relationship between the two is really good.

The smile on the corner of Oreki Koe's mouth deepened, no matter what, Houtarou and Xiaozuru are her important younger siblings.

******

"Ahe, Ahe, uncle is back~"

A buoyant and teasing voice came from the entrance, and the man yelled towards the inside while changing his shoes, but there was no sweet answer from the girl.

Oreki Kongosuke showed a disappointed expression, and walked slowly towards the living room. The well-organized room felt that there were very few traces of life. The man was in his early thirties but looked extremely young. He loosened his tie casually. Throw it aside and walk into Oreki Crane's room. The girl's room is not girly at all. The school uniform is not hung in the closet but thrown on the bed at random. The schoolbag is also thrown on the ground at random. Oreki Sora Jie picked up the schoolbag on the ground and put it on the chair, then the man stared blankly at everything in the room, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"..."

There was still Oreki Crane's exam papers on the table. Oreki Konnosuke noticed those papers, and the man showed a faint smile. Oreki Crane's grades were not bad, on the contrary, they were pretty good. The attitude of laziness and unwillingness to attend class is inversely proportional. Even if she doesn't listen to class, this girl's grades are quite good, and this alone is quite irritating.

Not staying in Oreki Crane's room for a long time, Oreki Karunosuke walked out of the room and walked to the sunny balcony. The man lit a cigarette and smoked it inexplicably. His deep appearance and his young face It didn't match, he smoked quietly, until his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the mobile phone, he didn't come back to his senses, the person on the caller ID made Oreki Kunosuke lightly evoked a smile, the man answered the phone:

"doing what?"

"Hey, Kong, how's it going, have you seen your lovely niece?"

"she is not here."

Oreki Kuronosuke said impatiently, the other party's energetic and irritating tone was a bit noisy:

"Yohoho, you deserve it, why don't you come home often! It's hard to go home once and I haven't seen the cute little crane ~ I don't sympathize with you at all, hehe~"

"Do you want to die?"

Gritting his teeth, Kongosuke Oreki squeezed out a few words. The murderous intent seemed to be transmitted from the other end of the phone. The man on the other end curled his lips, and replied very sensiblely:

"You niece, let's not talk about you, since Xiaohe is not here, then you come out, let's have a drink."

"Go away, I'm not in the mood."

Saying that, Oreki Kuronosuke hung up the phone without hesitation.

If Ah He doesn't come home, I will wait for her to come back! !

However, after such a wait, I waited for a summer vacation.
