[Comprehensive] Xueba, are you friendly?

She heard the sound of shoes falling to the ground. The person who pushed the door and came in probably threw his shoes aside in a way that was inconsistent with usual, and even the footsteps seemed a little dragged.

Inagaki Yui almost bounced off the sofa, she quickly turned on the light, and felt as if she had run a 50-meter race for a few steps away.

That was undoubtedly Inagaki Shintaro, he looked very tired and his face was a little grim.

She looked him up and down quickly, and found that her worry about his brother's lack of arms and legs was really unnecessary.But Yui Inagaki's gaze quickly settled on the corner of his eye, where there was a big bruise.

"..."

Inagaki Yui didn't speak, and neither did Shintaro. Instead, he turned his head to the other side, knowing that it was late but still seemed to deliberately hide the wound on his face.

"Turn around." She said concisely, grabbed Inagaki Shintaro's arm, seeing that his expression didn't change, she knew that at least his arm was not injured.

After carefully looking around, Inagaki Yui was convinced that his brother was only injured in the eyes.She let go of her hand, turned around and wanted to walk towards the kitchen, but before Inagaki Yui could take two steps, someone had already gently held her wrist from behind, stopping her movement.

"Xiaozhen, let me go first, I'm going to get—"

As his body froze, Inagaki Yui suddenly fell silent, and the word "ice bag" that had not yet been said was stuck in his throat, and it seemed meaningless to say it or not.

Inagaki Yui looked down at the arms around her waist, she could still feel the warm breath in her ears, and the weight on her shoulders reminded her that Shintaro was resting his head on her shoulders, and he did not let go she means.

"That...Xiaozhen?"

She called out with some hesitation, not knowing where to put her hands, and in the end she just put Shintaro's arm lightly.Just when Inagaki Yui was thinking about whether to keep it like this or struggle to leave, she suddenly heard her brother's muffled voice.

"Sister, do I count as protecting you?"

Inagaki Yui was stunned, and for a long while evoked a very light and very faint smile: "How could it not be counted."

She turned around and faced the boy who was already much taller than her. Although his shoulders were still a little thin, they could already be relied on.Yui Inagaki put one hand behind his back, and touched his head on her shoulder with the other hand. The soft hair felt very good.

Unknowingly, several years have passed since the boy who hid behind her back then, from refusing her help to standing up on his own, to his present appearance.

"Okay, I'll get you an ice pack." She pushed Shintaro away, "Go rest on the sofa by yourself."

Shintaro followed her silently, which made Inagaki Yui a little uncomfortable.Even so, when she passed the living room, she did not forget to take away the mobile phone that had just been dropped.

After entering the kitchen, she didn't rush to get the ice pack directly, but leaned against the cabinet and stared at the phone screen for a few seconds.

Then, close the dialog box prompted by the system.

Yui Inagaki put Asano Xuexiu into the blacklist almost without hesitation.

After finishing the work, she stretched while holding the phone.

"I remember it was on... this floor."

She murmured subconsciously, then correctly took out an ice pack, carried it all the way back to the living room, handed it to Inagaki Shintaro who was lying on the sofa, and sat on the single sofa next to her .

"—It's so cold." The moment he took the ice pack, Inagaki Shintaro shrank his hand, "Help me."

In just a few minutes, he looked almost completely transformed.Inagaki Yui almost suspected that his "sister" and the fragility he showed before were all her hallucinations.

"You know where you feel uncomfortable, and how to put it is more appropriate?" Although she said so, she still added, "However, it's okay to help you adjust the position."

As she spoke, she bent down and dragged Shintaro's hand to put the ice pack on the bruise: "It's probably here... Now, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Actually, you should already know, right?" After gasping for air because of the cold compress of the ice pack, Inagaki Shintaro lay on the sofa, his voice already showing a feeling of laziness, "I don't need to say anything more."

"But I can't figure it out," Inagaki Yui was a little confused, "Why didn't you get hurt anywhere else, but it was your face... or the corner of your eye..."

"One punch, for this reason."

After finishing speaking, Inagaki Shintaro simply adjusted his posture again, leaned his head on the soft armrest of the sofa again, and then closed his eyes, with a look of "That's it, if you don't believe me, you can do nothing to me".

Yui Inagaki: "........."

With so many years of getting along, she certainly knows that things cannot be so simple; but she also knows that as long as Shintaro puts on this posture, it is impossible for her to ask anything from her brother.

In contrast, it was faster to start from Asano Xuexiu.

Thinking of this name, Yui Inagaki's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she soon cheered up, leaning on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone.

"what?"

She had just broken her previous record when she saw a name she was no stranger to flashing on the screen.

——"Senior Tachibana".

"Hi, I'm Inagaki." Yui Inagaki answered the phone, but he didn't hear anything over there for a long time, "Senior Tachibana...?"

"...Well, Yui," Tachibana Hotaru stammered as if she was talking about something really hard to say, "If you were misunderstood at the beginning, but because of this misunderstanding, you accidentally became someone else's partner, but It was later learned that this misunderstanding could be fatal—”

"Wait, wait," Inagaki Yui became more and more confused as he listened, "Senior, are you talking about survival games?"

"...That's right."

"Tachibana," she said, "was mistaken for a boy by my friends from 'Toy☆Gungun'."

Yui Inagaki: "........."

Uh……

She didn't know which aspect of the content she should respond to first.

——Is it such an indescribable name as "Toy☆Gungun", or is it a fatal misunderstanding about the gender issue?

Of course Yui Inagaki knows that the gender of Senior Tachibana is a mystery to others. The specific example can be seen from the last time she went shopping with Xiao Miqin and ran into Senior Tachibana.Not to mention that Tachibana-senpai still prefers trousers. According to her, she can't remember the last time she wore a skirt——

No, now is not the time to think about that.

Inagaki Yui glanced at Shintaro next to him, and on the other side, Hotaru Tachibana had already shaken up the cause and effect clearly.

"So, why is 'Toy Gun Gun' not accepting girls?" Asking this, Yui Inagaki also understood that Senior Tachibana didn't know the reason, otherwise she would have said it directly, "Senior Tachibana always felt It's not good to hide it from your companions, is it?"

"That's it……"

She really knows her senior who insists on carrying out her own justice. From the first time she transferred to elementary school, from the first time Senior Tachibana stood in front of her, Inagaki Yui knew that Tachibana Hotaru is a person with a sense of justice A person who is so strong that he is willing to pay any price to punish injustice.

"Speaking of which, toys—is there anyone in Senior Tachibana's team that seniors care about?"

Inagaki Yui just asked casually with a gossip mentality, and after hearing Tachibana Hotaru's answer "How is that possible", she also understood.

That's right, Tachibana-senpai really doesn't seem like someone who would fall in love easily.Even if there are germs in that area, according to Tachibana-senpai's personality, I'm afraid it's too dull to be found.

Simply super envious.

"By the way, Senior Tachibana," Yui Inagaki had an idea, "There will be a fireworks display near here soon, do you want to come, senior? I haven't had a good chat with senior for a long time, let's talk about it in detail when the time comes."

Tachibana Hotaru responded readily.After hanging up the phone, Inagaki Yui turned to look at Shintaro who was looking up at her: "How about it, Xiaozhen, do you want to go?"

"Mikoshiba Mikoto aside, Tachibana-senpai did help us a lot," Shintaro said slowly, "But I don't want to go, and the fireworks are nothing to see."

Yui Inagaki: "..."

"If you don't go, I can't use a gun to force you to go," Inagaki Yui thought for a while, "However, we should both ask for leave during the school break."

"Huh? Why?"

"You still ask me why..." She glanced at the ice bag, "It's not easy to explain to others when your eyes go out like this, it will be troublesome if the teacher asks if it is some kind of violent incident, Kuiqiu is so strict, Off-campus violence...will be suspended. As for me—”

She didn't want to see Asano Xuexiu.

But even if they didn't say the reason, both of them knew it well.

Inagaki Shintaro moved the ice pack: "I don't care, even if I fall into class E like Akabane, it doesn't matter. Look at you, class E is not bad?"

"...It's not bad, it's not bad," Inagaki Yui had a headache, how should he dispel his younger brother's thoughts, "but not bad may not be suitable for you, Makoto, you have always—"

"Forget it then." Shintaro interrupted her, "There's nothing wrong with staying in Class A."

"..."

Yui Inagaki looked at her younger brother's face, and suddenly, for some reason, remembered that when she was just entering the fourth grade of elementary school, she was also sitting on the head of Shintaro's bed, and found that he was just sitting there with a calm face, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart What.

However, the background is in the hospital.

At that time, she didn't know exactly what illness Shintaro was suffering from. She only knew that although the illness was not serious enough to require surgery, she still needed to be hospitalized for observation, and could not return to school until she fully recovered.

Mom and Dad took turns to work and take care of Shintaro, and Yui Inagaki could go home by herself without being picked up by her parents.But she didn't do that. Instead, she went straight to the hospital after school to help her brother explain the homework of the day and the day before.

That day, she came to the hospital door as usual, but she passed a boy who was about her age.

The boy was wearing a hat, so Yui Inagaki couldn't see his expression and appearance clearly, but he just noticed that he pressed his hat and walked away quickly with his schoolbag on his back.

She didn't take it seriously, and when she got to the door of Shintaro's ward, she heard from her mother that the monitor of Shintaro's class came to visit him on behalf of the whole class.

Still, Inagaki Shintaro didn't look happy, just sitting there peacefully with a pillow behind him.

He smiled after she helped him adjust the position of the pillow, and then, the atmosphere in the ward became harmonious again, as if the previous silence did not exist.

But something does seem to be happening.

And the accident started after that.
