A new home represents a new atmosphere, which is naturally a good thing.
Mom is happily married, Ah Ling has her own pursuits, and everyone can live in a spacious and comfortable modern apartment during their breaks.
There is air conditioning that can be turned on at any time, a tall refrigerator, a balcony, and an unobstructed view of Tokyo Bay. The living room and dining room no longer share the same table.
Owning such a comfortable house was Sakakihara's dream that was once out of reach, but when this dream really came to him, he suddenly found that he was not so happy.
That night, A Ling returned home.
As expected, she felt extremely curious about everything in front of her, and looked around at the new furniture.
"What a big refrigerator! What a big sofa! What a bright living room!"
"Every room has air conditioning?! That's great!"
"There is also a bathtub! Hot water is available as soon as it is turned on. Finally, we no longer have to use the same toilet with several households on the floor."
Sakakihara walked around in circles and then put his hands on the floor-to-ceiling glass outside the living room.
From here, you can overlook the entire city of Tokyo, see Tokyo Tower shining with orange light in the distance, and see the dazzling neon city below.
This scenery looks like a high-end apartment.
"At such a high place...this glass won't suddenly break and then fall, right?"
Sakakihara smiled and said: "How can it be so easy to break?"
But this place is really big, with four bedrooms, a living room, a study room and a utility room.
The kitchen and bathroom are separate, so I don't have to urge Ah Ling to wash up while cooking, so that I can have space to wash vegetables.
I also have a separate room, a big bed, a desk and a bookshelf. I no longer have to sit on the floor with Ah Ling and use the bed as a desk to do homework. There is even a floor-to-ceiling window and a small terrace on the sunny side.
He also likes this new environment.
"How do you feel about this new home?"
Mom saw that the brother and sister were particularly interested in this new home, so she walked out of the open kitchen and came to the balcony to ask.
"Awesome!" Suzu Sakakihara put her hands on the guardrail of the balcony, her face facing the evening breeze.
It can be seen that she enjoys it here.
Sakakibara noticed her sister's expression.
"What about Ah Le?" Mom asked him again.
"It's very good." Compared to his sister's happiness, Sakakihara Raku replied a little absent-mindedly.
Miwa Sakakihara stopped on the balcony and turned around. She looked at the bright and bright living room. She was very happy and said with emotion: "This will be our new home from now on."
Home.
Speaking of these, Sakakibara thought about some things that should have been forgotten.
Mom...is happy now, right? She has someone who is willing to love her again, and she also has a brand new home.
"How much does this house cost?" Raku Sakakihara asked.
"More than 600 million yen." Mom replied.
"So expensive?! If my hourly salary is 1,000 yen, how long will it take?" Sakakihara Suzuya turned around and asked.
"If you work 24 hours a day without eating or drinking, you will need to work for a total of 70 years." Raku Sakakihara answered. At the end of the answer, even he fell silent.
"Isn't it a bit exaggerated?" Mom asked with a smile.
It is indeed an exaggeration. This is money that will never come together in a lifetime.
600 million.
I need to spend my whole life pursuing this house and this money.
And Uncle Tianhai seems to be able to buy this house without much effort...
While he was happy, he suddenly felt a little lost.
"What does Ale seem to be thinking about?"
"No, it's nothing."
Sakakihara Raku was just confused. The goal he had been striving for day and night was now under his feet. Although it was not something he had bought with his own efforts, there was no doubt that he was among them.
But the goals have been achieved, so if you take this as your life goal, wouldn’t your motivation... just disappear?
Day and night, I kept using ringtones to remind myself not to sleep. I gave up all entertainment and refused anything that was a waste of time. I only kept kyudo, where I could get bonuses, as an extra activity. What on earth were I working on?<
/p>
After all the hard work, it’s not as good as Uncle Tianhai’s wave of his hand.
Have you really learned a lot over the years?
Raku Sakakihara looked at his mother and sister communicating in front of him, and fell into confusion.
......
The next day.
Sakakihara woke up from exhaustion. He stared blankly at the ceiling. There were countless books on the desk beside his bed.
Last night he stayed up late again studying until the early hours of the morning.
In a sudden dream, he dreamed of his previous life yesterday.
With eight houses in a first-tier city, he can still have enough to eat without having to work.
Although he is alone, although his parents never care about him, although the meaning of his life in the first half of his life is archery, although this period is quite short, although his parents just want him to be famous and don't care about what he likes.
......
Haha, I was really happy in my previous life...
Sakakibara smiled and couldn't stop laughing.
He was deeply impressed by the unnoticed version of himself in his previous life. Although he was rich, he never had any real friends. Even if his parents died in an accident, they would probably be shirking responsibility and blaming each other for not taking good care of him. p>
As for friends in life?
They are all just friendly friends who can only compliment each other, and they can still go out and have fun, but it takes a real heart-to-heart talk... Only then can Raku Sakakihara realize that his own values are very different from theirs.
Therefore, compared with the previous life, I had no worries about food and clothing.
Sakakihara Raku prefers this life, caring about his mother, and having a sister who was especially attached to him when he was a child.
Although we are poor, even though we often don’t even have a piece of tofu to eat, our family is still there, and our people are still there. We support each other, make progress, and work hard to achieve today’s life.
Mom and Aling gave me the meaning of life and the goal of life.
But now, my goal is to let my mother and sister live a happy life and let them live in a big house...

What should be done?
Unable to figure it out, Sakakihara turned over and sat up from the bed. He tidied up the messy homework on his desk, then opened the bedroom door and walked out.
"Sakakibara-kun?"
Sakakihara was startled, and then he saw the girl who opened the door opposite him at the same time as him.
The new sister is right in front of me, and she is a rare and beautiful girl with sky blue eyes and long flaxen hair.
We just met her two days ago and are still strangers, but now we treat her like family.
I'm afraid she is also embarrassed by the sudden addition of a brother.
Sakakihara wanted to open his mouth and shout the girl's name, but looking at that beautiful little face, Sakakihara realized that he couldn't tell who was who between the two of them.
"Qi...Tian Haisang, good morning."
......
There was silence for a moment.
"Good morning, um, I'm actually Jiuliuli."
"..."
It was actually seen.
Sakakihara Raku is in an embarrassing situation.
"Do you feel Sakakibara-kun...a little restrained?"
"Really?"
Tianhai Jiuliuli nodded and closed the door behind her. She bowed politely and said: "...I'm really sorry for knocking off your phone..."
Such gentle movements are so highly cultivated...
"It's okay."
"That's good," Tianhai Jiuliuli clasped his hands in front of him and smiled nicely, "Besides, I think we can also chat or something, and the tone doesn't need to be so polite. After all, my father and aunt also asked me to try
Please spend more time with you, Sakakibara-kun."
Tianhai Qimingyue seemed to have said yesterday that she was very restrained.
He didn't have any communication difficulties, but he felt that he couldn't find anything to talk about with these two conspicuous beauties, so he simply didn't speak.
Moreover, Jiuliuli's temperament is so outstanding that she cannot be ignored whether in school or in real life.
There is still a certain amount of pressure in talking to such people.
"Well... the main reason is that I can't find anything to talk about with you."
"Is that so? I'm sorry... Sakakibara-kun..." Tianhai Jiuli asked carefully and tentatively, "Did I leave a bad impression on you because of what happened the day before yesterday?"<
/p>
"No." Sakakihara shook his head.
"Then Sakakihara-kun just..."
"I'm really just thinking about what topic I should use to chat with you."
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved," Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled again, "If possible, I think we should find an opportunity to get to know each other in a real sense. After all, everyone lives under the same roof now." "I agree with this."
Not surprisingly, the topic ended like this.
Sakakihara Raku didn't know what he was talking about with Jiuliuri until the chat ended.
Tianhai Jiuliuli seems to be very good at talking to people, and she often shows a nice smile when talking, which makes people feel that she is a very approachable and beautiful girl.
Everyone likes her, but Sakakihara Raku thinks her gentleness is a bit weird, giving people a sense of distance like "I can talk to you, but you can only stand there."
It seems that it is because everyone is a "stranger".
......
Compared to Amami Kururi, her twin sister, Amami Nanimeigetsu, who has exactly the same face, feels much more normal to Sakakibara Raku.
Raku Sakakibara met her later in the wash session.
I was looking for something in front of the sink because I didn't take out Aling's facial cleanser.
"Brother, did you not buy facial cleanser?"
"Yes, I usually use my sister's."
"Take it and use mine."
"..." Sakakihara looked at the facial cleanser in his hand, a little surprised, "Are you so familiar with it?"
Tianhai Qimingyue took back the hand that held out the facial cleanser and looked at him without any expression: "It's normal behavior to use facial cleanser for your brother."
"That's right..."
"Since my father has married my aunt, I have to admit this fact even if I don't want to admit it. Besides, my brother is good-looking and I like him very much."
"..."
It was quiet for a while.
"Brother, won't you consider yesterday's request?" Tianhai Qimingyue asked.
Sakakibara shook his head and refused: "I have no reason to help you prank your sister."
"Brother, don't you want a girl like my sister as your girlfriend?"
"No, she is my stepsister."
"What about stepsisters? Can't stepsisters date?"
"Can't."
"Brother is so decisive in returning to the throne~"
......
After awkwardly spending some time together in the bathroom, each doing their own thing, Raku Sakakibara could say that he had watched the whole process of Tenkai Nanami getting up early to wash up.
Different from her usual eccentricity, Tianhai Qimingyue is very quiet and gentle when doing these things. She is always slow and leisurely, and the handkerchief she used after washing her face is hung squarely.
The long flaxen hair and sky blue eyes that are completely different from ordinary people also look particularly bright and beautiful.
Just looking at them will make you feel the freshness of early spring.
Uncle Tianhai should be from Tokyo, right?
But why do the two sisters have this hair color and eye color?
Is the mother a foreigner?
Sakakihara Raku feels that he is becoming more and more curious about them.
Tianhai Qimingyue took off the waterproof wristband used to block the water flow from her wrist, "Speaking of which, my brother seems to be two years older than my sister Jiang, why are they in the same grade?"
Sakakibara explained: "Well, originally I should have gone to school at that time, but because I moved to Tokyo from my hometown, my father was very unhappy with the elderly in the family at that time, and the situation was not very stable, so I temporarily
Not on."
"Tokyo? Did you move to Tokyo suddenly?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue asked again.
"Yes," Raku Sakakibara felt as if she knew something from Nanami Nanami's eyes. "At that time, my father was determined to come to Tokyo to work hard and couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he took the family to Shinjuku despite his family's objections. Originally,
The plan was for me to go to a public school nearby, but considering Ah Ling and the rent and living expenses at that time, my parents, who were busy looking for jobs, postponed the matter... It just so happened that Ah Ling
I am about to enter the first grade, and I am one year behind in starting school due to the hospital examination because I always forgot things when I was a child, so I simply postponed it until A Ling and I are in the same school year and enter the school together. They will also have to worry a lot."<
/p>
At that time, he went to school a year late and was greeted by people in the community. He was also suspected of being abused by his parents. If he hadn't been checking for amnesia at that time, he would have gone to school separately from his sister.
Nanami Nanami calmly listened to Sakakibara Raku's explanation:
"Indeed, having brothers and sisters together does make parents feel more at ease. I have two more questions. Where in Shinjuku did my brother move to when he moved?"
"Just...a very ordinary residential area near Kanda River...Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just curious." Tianhai Qimingyue remained expressionless as always, "What's the matter with always forgetting things?"
"...The problems I had when I was a child are gone now." Raku Sakakihara just felt weird in his heart, but couldn't see any clues.
As for why he was always forgetful when he was a child, Sakakihara Raku has always had a guess.
He guessed that it was because the brain of a young child who had not yet developed at that time could not hold so many memories from the past life. The capacity was not enough, so the newly generated memories could not be filled in...
Speaking of which, Raku Sakakibara's impression of his birth is becoming increasingly blurry.
This should be some kind of natural law.
"It seems that my brother is a brother who has no memory."
"...Why does it sound like you are scolding me? I will be unhappy about this."
"I'm just stating the facts. Besides, I still respect my brother very much."
"Why?" Raku Sakakihara was curious. Nanamigyue gave her a sense of mystery and aloofness. She seemed to be keeping a certain distance from herself, and at the same time, she seemed to be deliberately getting closer to herself.
"After all, I am the first brother in my life. I also want to try to get along with this suddenly extra brother, so..." Amami Nanami raised her sky-blue eyes and looked at Sakakibara Raku's.
After staring at his face for a while, he bowed in a dignified manner and said, "I will ask my brother for more advice from now on."
There is no doubt that such a formal gesture made Sakakibara subconsciously correct his attitude and return the favor.
"Please give me your advice..."
A little... uncomfortable.
Qi Mingyue's movements are so polite, like a well-educated young lady.
But since Uncle Tianhai is so rich, strictly speaking, Qijiu is indeed a lady, right? The kind who is elegant, knowledgeable and cultivated.
*
Two sisters have moved into a new home, although their attitudes towards themselves are different.
But judging from the results, Sakakibara believes that his life has not changed.
I still wake up, call my sister to get up, make breakfast, and then go to school.
School cafeteria.
【Daily - Lunch (Completed)】
[The reward has been distributed, please check it carefully]
Raku Sakakibara picked up the barbecued pork in the bowl and ate it, while taking a look at his current savings.
【Existing points: 1250】
[Current deposit: 73,525 yen]
There is still a certain gap between the 500,000 yen required to open [Flower Notes 2].
"Sakakibara, why do you feel like you have no energy in the past two days?"
"Really?"
"Yes, you used to be a study fanatic, holding your book and chewing on it every day. Do you know what the classmates around you think of you?"
Sakakihara raised his eyes and looked at his classmate named Fujino Yoshiyuki.
He really doesn’t know this question.
"Just two words, outrageous! You study when others are playing ball, you study when others are out of class, and when others go home after school...you still make up lessons for yourself!"
"Fujino, life depends on hard work. Children from poor families like me can enter this school only because of hard work."
"But there must be a limit to your efforts! You have received confession letters before, and youth waits for no one... I have seen countless people complain about their high school days after they started working..."
"Fujino! Directly ahead, four o'clock direction!"
"Where?!" Fujino Yoshiyuki immediately left Sakakibara Raku and turned his eyes to the canteen queue like a scout.
At the end of the crowded crowd, he saw a female high school student wearing the iconic blue and black suit uniform of Mingtoku Junior High School.
The other person is holding a book, has blue hair with highlights, light pink eyes, and is quite quiet.
"The data from top to bottom, 84, 61, 87, good figure. Why are the eyes pink?"
"Contact lenses...isn't 84 a little too small?"
"Idiot, because my waist is so slender, my breasts will be bigger than expected after I take off my clothes. It is completely undesirable to just look at the bust size."
"How would you classify this time?"
"Soft custard-shaped B cup."
"Oh~ Master Nishijima is so awesome!" Fujino Yoshiyuki pointed at his glasses with a smile on his face and gave a thumbs up, "What about the track and field senior we saw running on the playground this morning?"
"By the way, I think I saw two twins coming from the first class this morning!"
"Twins?"
Sakakihara wiped his mouth with a napkin, tapped his fingers on the table, and interrupted the two of them directly: "Let me tell you, besides looking at women and eating, do you two guys do anything else?"<
/p>
Fujino Yoshiyuki and Nishijima Oki looked at each other.
"You're right, Sakakibara-san, we shouldn't be so decadent."
"Yes, life is not only about women and food, but also dreams and hard work."
"We have repented after your teachings."
"Repent."
"Now that we know our mistakes, we will work hard to correct these bad habits."
Sakakihara glanced at the two guys with their heads lowered: "It's good to know."
"In the past, I only knew how to eat, but now I can eat five bowls in one meal."
“In the past, I only knew how to look at the measurements of beautiful girls, but now I’m wondering why I didn’t save the data I saw before.”
"Alas~~"
The two guys sighed in unison, picked up the bowls, and ate the rice slowly, as if they were truly repenting.
Raku Sakakihara gave the two of them a look. High school students mostly suffer from chuunibyou.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Wait a minute," Fujino said suddenly, "Nishijima, you guy didn't save the data you previously visually inspected?!"
"...Why should I save those things? Do you really think I'm a pervert?"
"You really didn't save it? Come on, that's the cup cup encyclopedia of all the girls in the school! Do you know how much this thing can sell for on a campus forum?!"
"Please, you still want to sell it! Those girls will come back and stab you to death when they see you later."
The two started to quarrel again.
Alas.
Sakakihara Raku could only sigh, almost believing them.
*
After lunch, the first period of Monday afternoon was physical education, and Raku Sakakihara was going to go to the classroom to take a nap.
Passing through the atrium of the school and coming to the bottom of the teaching building, the sun shines through the leaves, dyeing the entire corridor with a layer of mottled green.
Suddenly losing his goal, he was like a deflated ball, lacking motivation.
He felt that he was just a sloth with no direction at all times. He could only hang on a sunny tree and stare blankly at some distant place in the world, letting time go by.
......
[Brother, how about a visit to the Literature Club?]
After receiving the message on his mobile phone, Sakakihara Raku took it out and took a look at it, and found that it was a text message sent to him by Amami Qimingyue.
When did she know her mobile phone number?
[Do you want to join the Literature Club?]
[Ah, it’s not true. Brother will find out once he comes.]
Sakakihara Raku took back the phone.
Okay, I can just stay here and watch the sun with nothing to do.
Since Qi Mingyue wanted to go to the Literature Department on her own, she went along to check it out.
Raku Sakakibara walked through the teaching building, walked past the stadium, and arrived at the club building of Meitoku Private High School.
He remembered seeing the Literature Department when he joined the club before, and it seemed to be on the fifth floor.
After climbing several stairs, he came to a door with the logo of the Department of Literature.
This is it.
He knocked on the door.
I haven’t waited for anyone to say please come in.
A quiet girl with a book in her arms opened the door and suddenly walked out, almost bumping into Raku Sakakihara.
"Hug, sorry!" The girl was obviously startled, took a step back, and then bowed her head slightly to him.
Sakakihara took a closer look.
Blue hair, light pink eyes, quiet girl.
This is not——
84,61,87...
These strings of numbers popped into Sakakihara's mind subconsciously.
Have you been brainwashed by those two guys?
Sakakihara shook his head, getting rid of these random thoughts, and added a belated "It's okay."
"Um... Excuse me, why did you come to the Literature Department?" The quiet girl held her book and composed herself.
Raku Sakakihara looked inside: "I'm here to see your minister."
"Are you joining the club?" The girl's eyes revealed a gleam of hope inexplicably, and she hugged the books in her arms tighter.
"It's not."
Sakakihara Raku's casual words seemed to push the girl into the abyss, and she left the Literature Club club in despair.
After the quiet girl left, Raku Sakakibara then walked into the club classroom of the Literature Club.
The furnishings of the Literature Department are quite crowded.
The room is filled with bookshelves, tables, folders, dusty cardboard boxes piled in the corners, and cactus that looks like it is about to wither and lose its luster.
Raku Sakakihara glanced at the furnishings in the Literature Club one by one, and then saw a girl by the window.
The spring breeze blew the curtains, and the girl stood quietly by the window, wearing gold glasses and holding a book. Her exquisite facial features, slim figure, special eye color, and hair color made her full of bright colors.
She spotted Raku Sakakibara at the door, turned her gaze, and looked at the door with her indifferent sky-blue eyes.
