Sakakibara Suzu took two skewers of tornado potato chips that were longer than her face from the stall owner's hand. They were sprinkled with cumin and chili peppers. Just by holding them in her hands, she could smell the spicy flavor of the fried skewers.
Son.
"You don't eat chili peppers?"
“It’s not about not eating, it’s about eating less.”
"Then I'll give you this bunch without the chili pepper, but remember to thank me."
"Wait a minute!" Sakakihara Suzu suddenly realized that in the temple fair where people were coming and going, it seemed that the only person in front of her was Amami Nanami, "Eh--?! Where are they?"
Tianhai Qimingyue: "My brother and sister got lost at some point. My father and aunt are not interested in these foods, so naturally they have their own places to go."
"I understand the newlywed life...but that's not the point. The point is why did I get lost?"
Faced with this problem, Tianhai Qimingyue more or less guessed something in her mind.
When she went to ask Jiuliuli today, her sister acted very strange.
He clearly said that he would not agree to his brother.
Tonight, I disappeared with my brother.
What do they want to do?
Tianhai Qimingyue put the fried potato skewers in her hand to her mouth, looking indifferent and cold: "Who knows, sister-chan, you should ask them both."
With a click, take a bite of the potato chips.
"How do you ask them?"
Sakakibara Suzu stood on tiptoes among the crowd, put her left hand on her forehead, and looked around 180 degrees like a detective.
She found that the market was so lively that it could be described as a sea of people.
The crowds are so crowded that there is no gap to pass through, and the people inside can only move forward slowly with the crowd.
She and Qi Mingyue could stay at the food stall for a while without being crowded.
"There are so many people coming to see the fireworks display, and there are so many blond and blue-eyed foreigners that they can't leave even if they want to. Hmm, thinking about it, it seems quite reasonable that they got lost." Suzu Sakakibara pinched Tornado Potato's hand.
At the same time, he crossed his arms and looked like "I am really so smart".
"It's my fault, sister-chan, for always wanting to eat Tornado Potatoes."
Sakakihara Suzuki ate the potato chips in one gulp angrily: "What? Why do you only blame me? Nanamigyue, you also want to eat it!"
"You have to call me sister. Secondly, you should lead the way."
"I was leading the way, and you were the only one following me. Also, why do you keep asking me to call you sister?"
"This is a fact. Call me sister."
"I don't want to! Let's go find them quickly. The conference will be boring without people."
"There are so many people right now, we can't leave." Tianhai Qimingyue shook her head.
Sakakihara Suzu didn't mind: "Then just wait here for a while, and I'll order two more bunches of potatoes! There's takoyaki on the side!"
......
I've finished eating the takoyaki, and I've finished three skewers of the fried skewers in my hand, but there are still so many people in the market.
The two of them were still forced to stay here.
So, each ordered two more Tornado Potatoes.
......
As they ate, they stood a little bored.
"They must be playing, why are we standing here eating."
"Because my sister-chan walks fast."
"Ah~~" Sakakihara Suzu groaned lazily. She was dejected, "I still want my brother to catch goldfish. He is the worst at catching goldfish. He can't catch even one every time."
"Are you happy that he can't get you?"
"Because I can laugh at him. My awkward look is still very funny. Hehe, then I can show my awesomeness!"
"Sister-chan." Tianhai Qimingyue shouted calmly.
"Huh?"
"I've never asked you before, what kind of person do you think my brother is."
"He..."
Staring at the bustling crowd in front of him, he seemed to be reminded of Sakakihara Raku in the overlapping shadows. Sakakihara Raku's voice suddenly became much lower, as if he was reminiscing, and also seemed to be thinking about how to say these words.<
/p>
"He...well, he is a poor guy who will feel uncomfortable if he is not cared for."
"Huh?"
"Don't even think about questioning me. I know my brother better than you do. I have lived with him for fifteen years!"
"How does it feel to be fifteen years old?"
"He is an idiot, a very nice idiot," Sakakihara Suzu emphasized, her purple eyes reflecting the dim light of the orange lanterns on the roadside rooftops, "He is rarely really angry, and he has never been angry with me.
, never made a move, even the time I ran away from home.
"He seems to understand everything and is good at everything. He can cook, do housework, study, exercise, and tell stories... When he is bored, he will help me fold paper cranes and paper airplanes.
Whatever you ask him, he can always answer... So, I used to admire my brother very much."
"No more worship now?"
"Oh, listen to me. When I worshiped my brother in the past, I could only contact him, and he could only contact me...
"We lay on the same bed at night, and he told me stories, brought me toys, bought me snacks... even though they were not very valuable things. But as long as I said to him
If I want it, he will suddenly take it out and give me a surprise when I don’t notice it!"
When Sakakibara Suzu said this, she remembered herself looking at Sakakibara Raku with admiration when she was a child.
"Qi Mingyue, you are also a girl, you understand... Facing such a brother, no sister will be unhappy."
"Hey, I'm only saying this to you, don't tell me."
"I think my brother knows it himself."
"He doesn't know." Sakakihara Suzu looked at Qimingyue.
"I don't care about these things for now. But there is one thing you said that I agree with."
"What is it?"
"Idiot."
"Don't say my brother is stupid! He is very nice and he used to give me gifts all the time."
"Oh, it's obviously my sister who said that my brother is a fool."
Speaking of idiots...
The Seven Bright Moons in the Sky and the Sea were brought back to memory.
What he said to himself on the final day.
And the shark doll he gave himself that night.
He obviously meant to neglect and alienate him, but he still wanted to give himself a gift...what if he wasn't an idiot?
"Although I am a stinky warm man now, just like a central air conditioner, but I..."
Sakakihara Suzu blinked curiously, and suddenly saw something on Amami Nanami's face. She tried to ask: "Brother... did you get a gift?"
The seven bright moons in the sky seem to be covering up, touching their lips lightly with their hands:
"Since Sister-chan calls my brother a fool as a younger sister, then why can't I do the same?"
"Hmm~ He gave you a gift, right~~"
"Sister, you are also a fool."
"Ho~ He gave you a gift, right~~Sister~~~"
"Quiet."
"What is the gift? Quick! Tell me quickly! I won't let him give it to you next time!" Suzu Sakakihara smiled happily.
Tianhai Qimingyue put down her hand, her face unchanged, "I don't know the rest, but there is one thing I know very well."
"What are you talking about."
"My brother likes girls with big breasts and thinks girls with big breasts are attractive."
"You, you, you are lying! He told me personally that anything is OK, and there are good things about flat chests!"
"Then Sister-chan admits that you are flat-chested?"
"Who! Who admitted it! I just haven't developed yet, I'm still developing! I know my brother better than you do!"
"Oh? Really? I guess my sister-chan doesn't even know what her brother likes."
"How could I not know! What he likes most is white lilies!"
White lily...
If Tianhai Qimingyue remembers correctly, my sister is wearing this colorful yukata today.
But sister, how did you know?
Asked proactively?
"Why this."
"Listening to him, it seems that a long time ago, it was the first time a girl gave him a gift, and then he always remembered it. Oh, how can I not remember it? It's the first time a girl gave him a gift.
, of course it’s me, but I can be nagging sometimes, it’s normal.”
Sakakibara Suzu suddenly distanced herself from Amami Nanami, "By the way, I don't want to talk to you, and you actually slandered me for having a flat chest!"
"This is a fact."
"No! I'm ignoring you."
The topic of Tenkai Nanamiyue and Sakakihara Suzu broke up on bad terms.
The two even separated to find the other two missing people.
......
Wearing a black yukata, Amami Nanimeizuki walked in this lively temple fair. The blue-gray sky and the air were dyed warm orange by the lanterns on the rooftop.
Couples traveling, families holding hands, tourists from all over the country and abroad coming to take photos, and high school students of all kinds taking a rare leisure trip.
Tianhai Qimingyue was walking alone in the busy city and began to look for male accessories related to "white lilies".
There were a lot of furtive glances at her on the road, and she was already used to them.
White lily accessories for women are easy to find, but men’s accessories are not.
Tianhai Qimingyue visited four jewelry stores in a row before finally finding a necklace about "white lilies".
"Why is it still a couple's model?"
The flowers and leaves are male, and the flowers are female.
Tianhai Qimingyue frowned slightly, took this thing in his hand, and asked the boss: "Can I buy one piece?"
This pair of necklaces is originally a couple necklace with the meaning of "white lily". The craftsmanship is not bad. One pair costs 3,000 yen, but it will be difficult to sell if you sell the other half. Of course the boss will not agree.
Considering that this was the last jewelry store, Tianhai Qimingyue had no choice but to buy the entire pair of necklaces.
Hold the wooden box in your hand.
She couldn't tell how she felt.
I don’t even know why I suddenly bought this gift.
This is my first time buying a gift.
Tianhai Qimingyue opened the wooden box, took out the men's necklace from the box, and held it in the palm of her hand.
Forget it...
she thought.
Now that my sister has made her decision, someone does like her.
Then give this return gift.
Just stop thinking about the past.
The girl raised her head again, clasped her hands together, took steps, and began to walk forward in the bustling temple fair.
On the black yukata with the snowy neck exposed, the silver hairpin is swaying slightly.
......
————————
"Here."
.....
When Sakakihara Raku heard this voice and saw the beautiful appearance of Tian Hai Jiu Liuli in front of him, his heart surged uncontrollably. Ah, no, it should be said that it was a bolt from the blue.
Although, although Jiuliuri is beautiful, very pretty, very cute, whether it is the eyes, the nose, or the snow-white neck exposed by the yukata, they are all very beautiful.
Under that face, I saw the tender lips with her fingers.
Thump thump, thump thump, my heart is speeding up.
Do you want to kiss?
This is natural nonsense, of course I want to kiss you.
If you don’t want to kiss, then you’re not a man.
"Really?"
"Okay."
Of course Sakakihara Raku knows that the relationship between the two has only reached the point of holding hands.
It’s hard to talk about being a boyfriend and girlfriend, let alone kiss.
But, but, Raku Sakakibara is not going to be the kind of male protagonist in anime that the heroine doesn’t even want to talk about.
Kiss, must kiss!
And even if it’s not a very affectionate kiss, it’s okay to kiss for a while.
"Then, I'll kiss you..."
"Brother...plan to kiss here?"
"...It seems that something is wrong."
Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled brightly and whispered in front of him: "Then... how about a little kiss first, so we won't be discovered here."
Just ask, no normal man would refuse the invitation from such a beautiful girl.
In addition, things suddenly progressed to something that shouldn't have happened, and Sakakihara Raku felt a little irritated inexplicably.
"You agreed... I think a little kiss should be fine. I just feel it's a bit abrupt and I'm worried that Jiuliuli is joking."
"I told you, I'm serious, a kiss really doesn't mean anything."
"Is this your first time, Jiuliuli..."
"Brother, isn't this the first time? This is an equal exchange."
If Qi Mingyue is a little devil, then Jiu Liuli now looks a bit like her.
And he is more proactive and carefree.
Should I say they are indeed twin sisters?
Suddenly, as if he saw something out of the corner of his eye, Amami Jiuri leaned down to Sakakibara Raku's ear and whispered, "Brother, I suddenly feel that there is nothing wrong here."
"Huh?"
Before Sakakibara Raku could react, Amami Kuriuri, who had been leaning against his ear, suddenly pressed his shoulders, stood on tiptoe in front of him, closed her bright eyes, and kissed him.
......
Tianhai Qimingyue stopped in silence, looking at everything in front of her in silence.
Alternating crowds, men and women kissing each other under a street tree.
With a face exactly like her own, the girl she usually calls her sister is looking up in front, putting her feet up and kissing her sweetly.
"Sister."
The girl looked indifferent and calm, mixed with the memories of her childhood and the words Sakakibara Raku said to her a few days ago. Those words are obviously words that can be ignored at ordinary times, but thinking about it now makes her heart extremely tangled.
Tianhai Qimingyue faced her kissing sister and brother with such complicated emotions.
They are affectionate and long-lasting...it feels like my heart is blocked by something.
I clenched the necklace I just bought in my hand inadvertently.
At this time, the fireworks on the Sumida River suddenly took off and bloomed in the deep night.
Bang!
The night was illuminated, and the crowd was amazed and sighing.
Did even the fireworks appear at such a perfect time...?
Sure enough, the one who is suitable for a brother is still a sister.
After watching quietly for a while, Tianhai Qimingyue turned her face away from the two of them.
The expression and mood on the face are indescribable.
She also followed the crowd and raised her head. Colorful fireworks filled the sky, and the shocking sounds struck her heart one by one. At the same time, it also illuminated her face.
The sky-blue eyes are as deep as the winter abyss.
It's obviously a beautiful and warm fireworks display, but why can't you see any color?
After watching it for a while, the girl looked away and took steps towards the huge crowd.
The girl pinched the shoulder of her left hand with her right hand, and soon, her lonely back disappeared into the crowd under the night with the fireworks in full bloom...
......
From the corner of Amami Kuruuri's eyes, he caught sight of the disappearing figure. His hands moved from Sakakibara Raku's shoulders, his lips moved away from his cheeks, his eyebrows fluctuated, and he began to feel a little guilty for betraying his sister.<
/p>
Sorry, July.
She is not a person who can fake feelings.
Her feelings for Sakakibara Raku are not false. She was also very happy during this visit to the park. When they were walking hand in hand, when he took out something and gave half of it to himself, when he looked at himself eating and showed a gentle smile... Amami Kuruuri
You can all feel the happiness and sincere love from him.
Therefore, when she took the initiative to kiss him, she did not choose lips to lips.
Instead, he kissed her on the face, just like the half-true and half-false feelings I have for my brother now.
Although I did this for Qiu, I couldn't help but feel guilty for Qiu and my brother.
Oh, what are you thinking about...
Before making this decision, weren't you ready to be a "bad sister"?
Whether it is for my brother or for July.
Only in this way can Qiyue understand her own heart.
Otherwise, with a character like her...it would be impossible to achieve happiness in her whole life...
"Nine-glazed glass..."
"Huh?" Tianhai Jiureli regained his mind and faced Sakakihara Raku in front of him again.
"Today...thank you..."
When Amami Kuruuri faced Sakakibara Raku's sincere and grateful eyes, the girl's heart trembled, and scenes of the happy park visit just now appeared in her mind.
Eat skewers, fish for goldfish, joke with the children, and win the big prize at the shooting booth together...
And his heartfelt confession.
The feeling of guilt surged up again, stronger than before.
This time, the beautiful girl did not greet her with a smile like before.
Instead, he lowered his delicate face full of loss and apology...
Is it really right to do this yourself?
......
"Hi~ Seunghye 1,000 yen."
"Thank you."
"Huh~ I didn't expect there to be stinky tofu here. Most people can't eat this."
Sakakihara Suzu stood by the harbor, eating delicious food and looking up at the fireworks blooming on the Sumida River.
In the surrounding trees, various lamps are scattered high and low, and there are many shadows of lamps among the whirling leaves.
The crowds of people who come to the temple park to watch the fireworks display are as dense as ants.
The dim lights on the other side still emit a faint light.
I don’t know when paper lanterns floated in front of me. They covered the river surface, and the candlelight reflected the water surface red, rippling away in the rising and falling waves.
Appreciating such beautiful scenery, eating delicious food, and facing the cool night breeze blowing from the river, Sakakihara Suzu's cute face burst into laughter:
"Another calm day."
After eating the stinky tofu, she threw the garbage into the trash can provided at the event.
Clap your hands.
"Forget it, I'll go find my brother and the others. They won't answer the phone. It's true."
