A passionate daily life starting from the Tachibana family

You can't tell it at first, but if you look closely, you will find that Otome has a fairer face than before.

In addition, the red war letter symbolizes the start of war, and the yellowed sheets symbolize the intensity of the war.

It all comes together.

Plus, something suddenly came to mind, 'She caught a cold last night and can't go to school today...'

This completely made Okino Kazuki's pale face look ferocious.

But that's all.

He didn't ask anything madly and angrily.

Just hunched over with a disappointed expression, he walked towards the door step by step.

Watching his brother walking past him like a zombie.

Okino Rinka looked at his lost and decadent back and murmured in her heart.

'It's time to give up...'

Okino Rinka shook her head, determined to seize the opportunity, and waved her hand to the confused Otome sister.

He quickly followed behind his brother.

And Sakuragi Otome looked at the back of Kazuki whose expression changed drastically just now.

Following his gaze just now, he slowly turned back and saw the sheets that he had just put on the shelf but had fallen to the ground.

despair--

After returning home, Okino Rinka looked at her brother who threw down his schoolbag and went upstairs without saying a word.

He picked up the apron beside the dining table, tied it on skillfully, and then shouted to his brother who had already gone upstairs: "Brother Heshu, is there anything you want to eat? I'm going to start cooking dinner~"

This is what Sister Otome says most often to Brother Fuyumi.

It was also what she heard the most when she was eating at her brother's house in Dongjian.

And when his brother is there, his eyes will always show envy.

Okino Rinka, who noticed this scene, secretly remembered these words in her heart.

If he likes Otome-san, then he can just change his direction towards Otome-san...

Compared to Otome-san who has her heart set on someone else, Rinka, the 'Otome card' who responds to his every request, must be more attractive, right?

I thought so in my heart.

The petite Okino Rinka was wearing an apron, standing on a small bench, cooking some dishes that her brother usually liked to eat.

But what she didn't know was.

In the room upstairs, Okino Kazuki, who was sitting by the bed, did not show emotions such as emotion or joy as she wanted after hearing this.

Instead, he punched the bed in great annoyance.

Okino Rinka's words did not make him feel any positive emotions.

On the contrary, this kind of actions and words related to otome.

It would only remind him of the picture he just saw and what Sasaki said that morning.

This act of repeatedly tearing open the wound and then adding salt to it.

Okino Kazuki, who originally just wanted to be alone and quiet, noticed that his sister was always 'sarcastic'.

Thinking of the times when I was talking to Otome, I was interrupted by Rinka every time.

Thinking of the time when I went to play with Otome, I was delayed every time by the nagging Rinhua, and finally failed.

Thinking of myself once...

Thinking of what he had watched helplessly yesterday, Otome staying at Sasaki's house...

If Linhua hadn't made that joke at that time, would she still have a chance? Would it still be too late...

The anger accumulated in my heart found an outlet just like pulling out the plug from a tank full of water.

At this moment, Okino Kazuki, who did not reflect on himself at all and only attributed everything to Okino Rinka, instantly lost his mind.

But his nature wasn't enough to prompt him to rush downstairs and take out his anger on Okino Rinka.

So I could only beat everything I saw in the room with great anger.

Snapped--

Sweep everything on the desk to the floor.

Okino Kazuki looked at the surroundings that were beyond damage.

He turned his head and looked at the alarm clock that Linhua gave to him on the bedside.

I remembered that it was all because of Rinka's obstruction that I lost Otome.

With his eyes red and the stagnation in his heart still lingering, Okino Kazuki took the alarm clock and threw it at the closed door.

It was at this time...

click -

As the door handle of the room turned, Okino Rinka, who had finished cooking, opened the door.

"Heshu..."

call out--

stand at the door.

Okino Rinka, who hadn't yet seen clearly what was flying towards her, felt her heart tighten, subconsciously closed her eyes, shrank her head, and froze in place.

After throwing the alarm clock out, Okino Kazuki was also heartbroken when he saw Rinka suddenly opening the door.

Maybe Okino Rinka was lucky enough.

The alarm clock flew past and hit the door frame.

It was only a few centimeters away from Okino Rinka's head.

Looking at the intact Rinka, Okino Kazuki, who regained his composure, was thinking about it.

But thinking of what she had done before, she took back her step and stood there with a dark face.

Opening her eyes carefully, Okino Rinka's small chest rose and fell violently, and her body trembled as she looked down.

When he saw that what was flying towards him was the gift he gave to Brother Heshu.

A feeling of pain in her heart, soreness in her nose, and mist in her eyes swept through her whole body.

boom -

There was a flash of lightning and a sudden explosion of thunder outside the window.

It illuminated Okino Kazuki's dim room, illuminating his slightly ferocious face and eyes full of anger.

Okino Rinka, who had never seen her brother like this before, suppressed the fear in her heart, crossed the debris on the ground, and walked slowly to his side.

The little face that had lost all color due to fright raised a forced smile:

"Brother Heshu, what happened? First, let's eat. It's all your favorite food."

After saying that, he wanted to hold Okino Kazuki's hand.

But Okino Kazuki suddenly raised his hand and waved it away.

"Brother Heshu..."

Feeling the pain in her hands, Okino Rinka raised her eyes full of innocence and tears.

Seeing her pitiful sister, she cooed like a kitten.

Okino Kazuki suppressed the fire in his heart, burning his anger.

He took a few steps forward and, taller than Okino Rinka, covered her petite body and asked her sternly.

"Rinka Okino! Why do you keep preventing me from getting close to Otome?"

"Why do you make trouble every time I talk to Otome?"

"Why did you lie to me yesterday?"

"You know! You know! You..."

"I'm your brother, and you hate me so much? You make trouble for me everywhere. Do you know what you've done? You..."

Thinking of the sheets he saw before, Okino Kazuki felt a pain in his heart, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

Then I heard Okino Rinka whisper with tears in her eyes: "That's because of me..."

Snapped!

Hearing Okino Rinka's knowing opening words.

Okino Kazuki, who no longer wanted to hear anything, hit his sister for the first time.

Because of the anger in his heart, Okino Kazuki, who was stabbed in the back by his sister, used all his strength.

So the moment Okino Rinka was beaten, she was slapped to the ground.

Feeling the coldness on the ground, Okino Rinka, whose left side of the face was numb to the point of feeling numb, pursed her lips that smelled of blood.

The heat and pain on his face were less than one ten thousandth of the pain in his heart.

This was the first time since her childhood that Brother Shu hit her, the first time he got angry at her, and the first time he smashed something she gave him.

But even this.

She also wants to convey her feelings to...

All she did was to get one more look at her with Brother Shu.

Whether it's being funny or pestering him, it's just to let him take a look, he still has her...

"Brother Heshu, I like..."

Swallow a mouthful of blood.

Okino Rinka covered her face, stood up, and tried hard to speak clearly.

However, Okino Kazuki was so angry that he had completely lost his mind because of his sister's betrayal.

Seeing that she didn't admit her mistake, he waved away her hand that wanted to hold her, and shouted at her with a ferocious expression:

"Get out! Get out! I don't have a sister like you. Is your brain broken? Go help Sasaki, an outsider, to trick me. Get out!"

Chapter 40 Discovery

The hazy water in the eyes turned into transparent pearls, one by one sliding down the red, swollen and pale cheeks, falling to the ground and shattering, and then disappeared, leaving only an inconspicuous watermark.

Hearing Brother Kazuki's words to drive her away, tears kept pouring out of Okino Rinka's eyes.

The words he tried his best to say were covered by his roar.

In normal times, Okino Kazuki would definitely go up to comfort her and admit her mistake when she saw her crying sister.

But thinking that she was the culprit and betrayer who caused him to lose Otome, Okino Kazuki felt boundless anger in his heart.

If Otome chooses someone else she doesn't know at all.

Okino Kazuki had no other emotions besides sadness.

But Otome chose Sasaki, who she grew up with and played with.

But it was with the help of his younger sister that Sasaki gained Otome's favor.

Thinking of this, Okino Kazuki looked at the sister in front of him with even more displeasure.

He didn't think he was any worse than Sasaki.

If it hadn't been for Okino Rinka's trouble, Otome would have chosen him in the end, definitely.

Okino Kazuki, who lost his mind due to jealousy, pushed Okino Rinka out of the door.

Not paying attention to her collapse on the ground, Okino Kazuki closed the door with a bang.

Looking at the closed door, Okino Rinka lowered her head and leaned against the closed door, whimpering softly.
