Chapter 192 Crazy assist from brother-in-law
He is truly the strongest brother-in-law.

Hori Kyoko's pretty face, which had just cooled down a little, couldn't help but turn up again. She couldn't help but feel shy and angry in her heart, and the hash mark on her forehead appeared.

But instead of beating up her brother who liked to talk nonsense, she was more concerned about Iura Hide's reaction.

First, she glared fiercely at Hori Sota, who was hiding behind Iura Hide and making faces at her. Then Hori Kyoko quickly looked at Iura Hide, feeling guilty and nervous at the same time. She couldn't hold back her clenched hands. I was sweating.

Fortunately, Iura Hide still didn't think too much, and just joked with a smile: "Souta is right, if you like my songs, just tell me. Even if you are a good friend, you can worship me and be my fan. This doesn’t conflict~”

"Shameless guy!"

Hori Kyoko breathed a long sigh of relief, made a casual remark, and then quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, come in quickly. Jizi, Xiaoai, long time no see. There is a lot of food prepared today. Be sure to eat it later. You're welcome~"

"Yeah, let's not bother you. By the way, this is a souvenir."

After changing their shoes in front of the entrance, Iura Shu and the others followed Hori Kyoko and Sota to the living room.

After she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and touch in her heart, and she also had a better impression of Hoshino Ai.

"Come back, Souta, sit next to me."

"I'm sorry, Motoko-chan, can we change places?"

"Where's the show?"

"Nai-chan, please sit with me."

Iura Hide, who originally planned to use iced Coke to accompany barbecue, suddenly thought of some of the side effects of Coke, so he immediately changed it to juice.

If it were normal times, Hori Kyoko would definitely show off her majesty as an older sister and use strength comparable to boys of the same age to let Souta know the consequences of not listening to her sister.

The house of Hori Kyoko's family is not small. The living room is connected to the open kitchen, and there is also a dining table. However, out of habit, her family prefers to sit around the Japanese square table in front of the TV to eat, so they prepare stacks of them. The meat and vegetables are placed on the square table together with the baking pan.

If she had to choose, she would rather eat rice balls and instant noodles with Iura Hide at home than sit so far away from Iura Hide.

"Thank you."

I have to say that because of her experience in an orphanage when she was young, Ai Hoshino is indeed much more mature and smarter than girls of the same age.

"Just juice. Thank you."

Even though this was just a meal where she sat a little far away from Iura Hide, don't forget that except for the morning before yesterday, she hadn't eaten with Iura Hide for several days.

As long as she exchanges places with Motoko, she can sit on the other side of Sota, making it easier to take care of Sota.

At the same time, Iura Hide smiled unconsciously when he saw Hori Kyoko, who was kneeling upright on the cushions and pouring juice for everyone.

"No, I was just a little surprised. Originally, I thought Hori-san would sit cross-legged like me."

But out of politeness, even if she was very reluctant, she could only say "Okay" while standing up again, ready to exchange places with Hori Kyoko.

Facing Hori Kyoko's scolding, Hori Sota, who thought he had a new backer, loudly refused without thinking, which made Hori Kyoko feel black again and her fists became hard.

That's right, in addition to sympathizing with Ji Zi, she also wanted to please Ji Zi. After all, Motoko is Iura Hide's real sister. As long as Motoko is willing to help her and unite with her, wouldn't she have greater confidence in the future?

"Coke. Forget it, let's just go with juice."

The last Sota didn't even need her sister to speak, she had already rushed to speak.

On the other side, Hori Kyoko obviously didn't expect that she just simply exchanged seats and made Moto a little unhappy. After sitting down, her whole temperament changed, and she exuded a kind of virtuous wife. The smell made Iura Hide, who was familiar with her, stunned for several seconds, feeling secretly surprised in his heart.

I don't know whether it was to avoid being chased by her sister, or because I really liked Iura Hide so much. As soon as Iura Hide sat down, Hori Sota took the initiative to hold his own soft cushion and sat next to Iura Hide.

Hoshino Ai noticed her expression and couldn't help but feel very proud.

"No, I want to sit here, big brother!"

But now in front of Iura Hide and Hoshino's love for them, she didn't want to leave the image of a 'violent woman', so she had no choice but to endure her anger.

Fortunately, Hoshino Ai, who is also a younger sister, understood her mood at the moment. After being keenly aware of the unhappiness hidden in her eyes, he immediately pulled her to sit between him and Iura Hide.

But who knew that Hori Sota was so attached to Iura Hide and insisted on sitting next to Iura Hide.

"I want to sit next to my big brother!"

"Damn it! Are you saying I look like a boy!"

"Why are you laughing? Is there something on my face?" Hori Kyoko felt a little embarrassed by what he saw, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her face.

It's just that in this way, Moto, who was a little unhappy because Sota suddenly intervened between him and Iura Hide, became even more unhappy now.

Iura Hide made a small joke, but as a result, Hori Kyoko, who was still in good wife mode, instantly became furious.

Although Hori Souta has already started elementary school, but because he is a bit stupid, not only can he fall on the ground while walking, but he can also eat a mouth full of rice grains and ketchup when eating an omelette rice, not to mention eating barbecue and so on, so Hori Sota Jingzi asked him to sit next to her because she wanted to take care of him when they started eating, so as not to make herself and the table dirty.

"What drinks would Motoko and Xiaoai want to drink?"

"You're welcome."

Hori Kyoko turned to look at Motoko and asked with an apologetic expression.

"I want juice too!"

Hori Kyoko was so angry that she almost picked up the drink bottle again and hit Iura Hide on the head.

This made Hori Kyoko, as well as Motoko and Hoshino Ai, who originally wanted to sit next to Iura Hide, couldn't help but frown.

The innocent Moto was stunned for a moment, and was still a little surprised when she sat down. She didn't expect Ai Hoshino to give up his position to her.

However, Iura Hide was not worried at all, and still joked with a smile: "Yeah, this is the Hori-san I know. The virtuous and gentle Hori-san just now makes me feel a bit strange."

After hearing this, Hori Kyoko was stunned at first, and then her face turned red instantly. She felt both happy and shy about being praised, but also angry and dissatisfied about being teased. For a moment, she didn't know how to react, so she could only be fierce. He glared at Iura Hide, and while immersed in the barbecue, he turned on the 'idiot' mode again, muttering 'idiot, idiot' in his mouth.

"When Nei-chan talks about 'idiot', he can't stop talking." Brother-in-law Souta opened his mouth to add another blow.

At this time, even Motoko, who was somewhat hostile to Hori Kyoko, found it interesting and couldn't help but laugh.

"Wulusai!"

Hori Kyoko became angry and glared at Sota fiercely. Then she quickly changed the subject and said, "Have you finished writing "April"?"

Jingura, who originally just wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, said very cooperatively: "Well, I have finished writing it. I just went to publish the manuscript for social media this morning." "In this case, you don't have to work overtime and stay up late, right? "

"Yeah, I can finally sleep well tonight."

The barbecue marinated overnight is sizzling on the iron plate, exuding an alluring aroma that makes your mouth water.

Because it is cut relatively thin, it will be cooked in a short time.

"These pieces are already baked. Moto-chan and Ai-chan, come and eat them and show yourself how to pick them up."

"Then I won't be polite."

Iura Hide smiled and picked up the chopsticks without being polite to her. First, he politely took a piece to Sota who was already drooling next to him, and at the same time reminded him to eat slowly and be careful not to burn it.

Then he took another piece for Ji Zi and Xiao Ai, and then he started eating it himself.

"Shujin is a gentle Onii-chan."

Hori Kyoko on the side couldn't help but smile slightly when she saw this, and then she didn't know what was going on in her head. Anyway, she accidentally put the piece of beef that was originally intended for Souta into Iura Hide's bowl.

After all this was done, she realized what she was doing. Looking at Iura Hide, who was slightly startled, her pretty face, which had finally cooled down, suddenly became hot again.

"Then, don't you like eating meat? I've prepared a lot today, just go ahead and eat it."

Kyoko Hori suppressed the panic in her heart and once again used "April" to change the topic: "By the way, if the manuscript has been submitted, when will it be officially released?"

"If everything goes well, it will be on sale next Friday."

Hori Kyoko carefully observed his expression and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was nothing strange between his eyebrows.

In fact, Hori Kyoko's worries were completely unnecessary. In the past year or so, she and Iura Hide often had meals together during lunch break. This was not the first time. She picked up the octopus grilled sausage and tempura she made. Luo, give the fried chicken nuggets to Iura Hide.

Even a lot of times.

This is not like feeding it directly to the mouth like Kitagawa Uimu and Kasumigaoka Shiu. Iura Hide will not think about it at all.

It's just that she has something weird in her heart that makes her so nervous and shy.

"Then don't forget to sign for me."

"No problem~!"

As Iura Hide spoke, he picked up the piece of beef that Hori Kyoko had just given him. But before he could dip it in the condiments, the cell phone placed aside suddenly rang.

"Huh? Is it Yuki?"

Hori Kyoko looked over subconsciously for the voice, and then saw the familiar profile of Yoshikawa Yuki at a glance.

"Um"

Iura Hide first calmly stuffed the grilled meat with pepper, cumin and chili into his mouth, and then calmly picked up his phone and checked the message from Yoshikawa Yuki.

"What does Yuki want from you?"

"It's nothing, just asking me what time the band rehearsal will start this afternoon."

Hearing this, Hori Kyoko couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Are you going to rehearse Yuki too?"

"Yeah, this guy seems to be very interested in the band rehearsal and insists on going over to join in the fun."

"Then she won't disturb your rehearsal in the past?"

"That's not true. It's just that it might be a bit boring for her to stay aside while we rehearse."

After listening to this, Hori Kyoko's amber eyes suddenly flashed with a complex light of unknown meaning.

Of course she knew that Iura Hide was going to attend the band rehearsal this afternoon, but before that, she didn't know that Yoshikawa Yuki would also go.

"Why are you so interested in band rehearsal? You are obviously interested in this guy." Hori Kyoko complained softly in her heart.

She knew very well that Yoshikawa Yuki liked Iura Hide. Even when Yoshikawa Yuki had a crush on Ishikawa Tohru, she felt that Yoshikawa Yuki liked Iura Hide.

If Yoshikawa Yuki was alone, she would definitely try to suppress her affection for Iura Hide and only maintain the relationship between the two as good friends.

It’s just because of the existence of Mashiro, Pochi-chan and Kono Sakura
"I really want to go, too."

Hori Kyoko couldn't help but thought to herself.

But she still has to take care of Sota, so how can she have time to go there unless
A somewhat 'bold' idea suddenly popped into Hori Kyoko's head.

Just then, Sota Hori seemed to have a telepathic connection with him. He swallowed a large piece of beef in his mouth, and without even wiping off the raw egg liquid on his mouth, he turned his head and grabbed Iura Hide's hand with excitement on his face. sleeve.

"Big brother! Big brother! I also want to watch the band rehearse!"

"Ah? Are Sota also interested in band rehearsal?"

"Yeah! Interested! Very interested! Big brother, can I go?"

Hori Kyoko on the side was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and suddenly realized that her stupid brother was actually quite cute.

On the other hand, Iura Hide was also a little surprised. Hori Sota, who seemed to be only interested in cartoons in the original story, would be interested in band rehearsals.

But when he thought that Chuang Tai had said that he liked his songs earlier, he felt relieved.

"You have to ask your sister about this. Your sister will agree to it."

Iura Hide turned around and threw the question to Hori Kyoko, but he didn't know that when he did this, Hori Kyoko almost jumped up from her seat with joy.

"Sister, sister! Can I go?"

Hori Sota turned his head and looked at Hori Kyoko like a pitiful puppy.

Hori Kyoko resisted the urge to agree immediately. She glared at him with feigned dissatisfaction, then looked up at Iura Hide and asked, "If Souta goes, will it really not disturb your rehearsal?"

"Really not," Iura Hide said with a smile, "But it might be more boring for a child, and I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him if I have to practice."

"I'm going! I'm going!" Sota Hori seemed to realize something was wrong and quickly turned on the coquettish mode.

This made Hori Kyoko chuckle again. She deliberately pretended to have a helpless expression. After thinking for a while, she said: "Since it won't disturb your rehearsal, then I will go with him. Isn't the exhibition hall where you rehearse?" Shimo Kitazawa? If this guy is really bored, then I’ll take him shopping to buy comics.”
