"What's matter?"

Shota looked at Ayase-san who seemed to have something to say, and said, "Did I make you laugh today?"

"Um, can we talk for a little bit? About... Kirino."

Seeing the slightly worried expression on the other person's face, Shota secretly sighed and asked cautiously: "What's wrong with Kirino..."

"Kirino has been a little strange recently...she seems to have something that she doesn't want to talk to us about." Ayase said with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, "But, Kousaka-nii, you should know what it is."

Faced with such a straightforward inquiry, Shota thought for a while, and then Harashi said: "You know something about it. In fact, it's not a big deal. It's just that the time has not come yet. Ah, don't get me wrong. Actually..."

"I see."

Ayase interrupted Shota and said: "There must be a reason why Kirino doesn't want to say... So, please take care of Kirino a little more, Brother Kousaka."

"It goes without saying that that guy is my sister."

Shota saw that the other party had skipped the topic, so he said: "In school, please take care of Kirino. I am also very happy to see that Kirino has such outstanding classmates."

Hearing Shota's praise, Ayase said with a slight blush on her face: "Brother Kousaka, please don't blame Kirino for what happened today. Although...well, I think Kirino must respect and love my brother."

"Yeah?"

Shota touched the back of his head and said, "Probably, you haven't reached the point of respecting me yet, right?"

"That must be it! It's just my intuition."

"Thank you then."

"No..." Ayase waved her hands very shyly, suddenly clapped her hands, and said, "That's right! I want to ask you a favor, brother."

As she said that, she took out her mobile phone and said, "Don't we all know each other? Let's exchange addresses."

Shota didn't react for a while, and after waiting for a while, he said: "Mobile phone address? Sorry, I've been in China for too long. I'm used to manually entering numbers by myself." As he said this, he took out his mobile phone.

"Ah, my brother's mobile phone model is exactly the same as mine."

Indeed, both of their mobile phones are white flip-top models from Sharp.

Saying that, Ayase put her mobile phone against it.

Beep - Infrared completes the exchange of email and mobile phone numbers in an instant.

"Ah ha, it worked. Thank you so much."

Ayase looked at the screen of her phone and looked very happy.

"Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet."

After thinking about it, Shota felt that although he knew the other person's first name, it would be better to call him by his last name if he had just met. So he said: "I, Shota Kousaka, am twenty years old, and I work as a cafe owner. Well,

Come to my store more often when you have time. There are discounts."

"I'm so sorry, I forgot to say it." The girl hit her head with one hand, seeming a little embarrassed.

"I am Ayase Aragaki."

An unusually beautiful smile appeared on the girl's face. But...

"By the way, brother. There is one more thing I must ask of you."

This time there was a hint of coldness in her tone, and at first glance, even her pupils shrank a bit. It was like she was a completely different person.

"Please be sure to keep that pervert away from Kirino."

"Uh...ok."

After bidding farewell to the lovely girl, Shota's mood obviously improved a lot - although he was not in a bad mood to begin with.

However, as soon as he turned around, he saw his sister half-opening the door with a serious look on her face and curling her index finger towards him.

"I'm coming."

Now, he doesn't have so much time to think about the beautiful girl who has gone away. After all, his own one is still waiting to be comforted.

The scent of the girls who came to visit today still lingers in Kirino's room, but the difference from before is that the guests in this room now are two men. Kousaka Kyosuke and Kousaka Shota.

The three of them sat on the ground, looking at the box in the middle in silence.

This box incident led to very serious consequences. From Kirino's perspective, not only was her slightly violent side seen by her friends, but she was also seen in a misunderstanding scene where she "forced" her brother. From Kyosuke's

Looking at it from a different perspective, he was dubbed a perverted high school student even though he did nothing.

But from Shota's point of view, although it may have left a bad impression in front of Kirino's classmates, it was a blessing in disguise that he had the number of his first friend who was not a relative or an employee on his phone...it belonged to a beautiful junior high school girl.

I can finally regain some confidence in front of those successful men in the store...

"Well, I am innocent this time."

Kyousuke was the first to speak: "It's definitely very innocent. He was misunderstood even though he did nothing."

"Hey, you grabbed this box yourself."

Kyousuke told this fact mercilessly, but Kirino was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shot back: "If you hadn't secretly and silently gotten to know Saori, would this situation have happened?"

After criticizing Kyousuke's shortcomings, she turned her attention to Shota: "And you, can't we try another method?"

"If you had come in ten seconds later, the box would have been opened. You would have been unable to react and would have put everything on Kyousuke's head." Shota shrugged his shoulders and said, "It was not easy to successfully remove the alley under the circumstances.

Oh. Besides, that little girl is too naughty."

"Don't make excuses. I saw that you were secretly talking to Ayase earlier." Kirino suddenly said angrily: "You are a pervert who attacks your sister's classmates behind your sister's back, huh."

"Don't put it so harshly...I haven't accomplished anything."

"The success of not doing anything means what do you want to do?" Kirino looked at Shouta with the eyes of a prisoner. After a long time, he said: "I don't care anyway. I have been so busy this summer, and it's not easy for my classmates to come home once.

I was screwed by you. And there is a club training camp in the second half of the month, so I haven’t played much yet. It’s up to you to find a way to compensate me.”

"Mountain hiking? Seaside? Hot spring?"

Kyousuke put forward his own idea.

"If we go to those places, I'll go with Ayase myself. I'll think about it more! Humph."

"Europe, Hawaii, or other countries?"

Shota put forward his own opinion. Anyway, it is very convenient to go abroad in Japan, and it is not a big difficulty for a family to travel abroad. The premise is that you have enough money.

"Well, it's not impossible..." Kirino showed a very interested expression, but she quickly changed her face and said, "I don't have that much time! Today is already the 7th. I will start the club training on the 15th.

!How can I have time to go abroad?"

"This won't work, and that won't work either."

Kyousuke also replied angrily: "Then you also have some suggestions?"

"Think better! Humph."

The two brothers who were kicked out of the house looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what Kirino wanted.

Finally, Kyousuke was desperate and called Saori, who suggested that they go to Summer Comi together. In fact, it is a large-scale otaku festival held at the International Exhibition Hall - Tokyo BigSight.

The date is set for next Sunday.

But before that, Shota still has a whole week of classes to attend.

Early the next morning, Shota arrived at En no Sora Cafe early after two days of rest.

Tomoya, who was busy in the store before the door opened, saw Shota coming in from the back door and said hello: "Hey, Man♂Net♂Door..."

"..." Xiang Tai was stunned for a while and said, "Who taught you?"

"I heard it from a customer yesterday. The man who walked through the back door sounded interesting, so he took it over and used it."

Tomoya said while packing things, "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing, there's just some ambiguity." Shota shook his head, then walked over and looked at the bill on Tomoya's hand.

Okazaki Tomoya is currently the man with the most serious work attitude in the store. He is the first to come to the store every day and is basically the last to leave. His current position is the manager of En-no-Sora, a man who constantly works hard for his wife and future daughter.

.It is said that his dream is to keep increasing his salary until he has enough money to open his own toy store.

"Hey, why is the business better when I'm away than when I'm here?" Shota looked at the form and compared it for a long time, then said: "Forget it, I don't want to worry about this kind of tangled matter. By the way, how about the new part-time job?"

"

"Ah, are you talking about the fifth night?" Tomoya said without any hesitation: "She is a very smart girl. She learns everything quickly, but she is a bit unsociable. She doesn't seem to get along with either Nagisa or Todoroki-san.

I always feel that that kid exudes an aura of being isolated from others. However, his abilities are good and he works very seriously."

"That's it."

Shota nodded, and then asked Tomoya: "Where is the duty schedule this week?"

"It will be posted on Saturday."

He ran to the lounge and glanced at the duty list. Shota quickly ran out and said: "Tomoya, let's change the newcomer's Sunday work with someone else."

"No problem, no problem." Tomoya asked a little strangely: "Store manager, you are not really interested in that girl, are you? I don't see that you like this type of girl."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Shota explained: "I thought she looked familiar last time because she was my sister's friend. They were supposed to go out together this weekend, so I..."

"Store manager, do you have Sunday off?"

Tomoya immediately pointed out the core of the problem: "Will you go with them?"

"you caught me……"

"Good morning, Shota-kun." "Good morning, store manager."

While the two were chatting, the clerks all arrived at the store one after another. After saying hello to Shota and Tomoya, they went to the dressing room and changed into their work clothes. Soon, the new Gogeng Ruri was also changed into

She was dressed and ready to start work. However, she seemed to avoid Shota's eyes intentionally. Maybe it was because Shota left a very bad impression on him during the interview?
