Guitar, loneliness and the blue sea

Miss Hiroi leaned down into the camera and waved to Yusuke with a smile.

Yusuke hugged his chest and looked unhappy.

"Um...Hello, what is your relationship with my sister?"

"Ah... what kind of relationship do we have? Well, let's just call them roommates..." Hiroi Kiuri replied with a smile.

"It's a pet. You didn't give me a penny of rent." Shiyu revealed the truth.

"I told you I would give it to you... all the money I spent recently was used to pay for equipment."

"As you can see, Yusuke, I also have such a person in my family now, and it is also filled with the smell of alcohol. I have to say it is a coincidence between siblings."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu smiled helplessly.

"Um...is this really okay? Sister, don't be fooled by strange people?!"

Yusuke looked at Hiroi Kiuri who was showing off with boxed wine with a dark look on his face.

This person looks really hopeless.

"Ah, Yusuke-kun, I know you are worried about her... but I don't think I can deceive Shiyu with my intelligence~~~" Although Hiroi was complained by Yusuke, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Happy, “I feel like I’m being manipulated by her every day.”

"I think so..." Hayasaka Ai agreed.

In her impression, Kasumigaoka Shiu has always been the image of a 'reliable adult woman'. Except for the occasional pornographic accent, she is basically a smart and elegant aloof big sister.

But Yusuke obviously doesn't think so.

"You don't understand. Although my sister looks very smart and capable, she is actually quite fragile on the inside. She is also the type to shine brightly if she is given a little sunshine. If I didn't exist, I don't know what kind of scumbag would play hard and end up in chaos. Give up..." he argued loudly.

"Yusuke, I think you are itchy. Think carefully about how to speak." Shiyu frowned.

"Good advice is hard to hear, sister!"

"I didn't think I would be like that."

"...You will definitely do it!"

"Anyway, this is how things are now." Shiyu closed his eyes and said in an unarguable voice, "Just think that I picked up a poor stray cat from the street. The only difference is that the maintenance cost of this cat is Just a lot of food and alcohol.”

"How about getting a real cat?!"

"Like your maid-chan, this person is not unemployed. She is the bassist in the slightly famous band SickHack and usually performs near my school."

"..."

Yusuke doesn't think drinking is a big problem.

but...

"Isn't that worse? Sister, you know, right? Bass players are all scum!" he said anxiously.

"...You put down the bass first to be convincing, right?" Shiyu covered her face.

"No, it's just holding it that proves it!"

"You are very self-aware."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt very tired.

Why do you feel like introducing your boyfriend to your family?

Once it's his own business, Yusuke, who is usually easy-going, becomes difficult to deal with, sometimes even to the point of being overprotective.

However, this is not possible.

She won't admit it, but she is very aware of her character flaw - she is prone to being too emotionally invested in certain people or things. The existence of her brother can at least be a wake-up call for her.

"Then, to reassure you, let me tell you one more thing: Hiroi has a close relationship with the band around you. She is also a close friend of your Ijichi-senpai's sister."

"Yes, that's right, little Boqi's first street performance was with me..." she said with a proud smile.

"Oh...it turns out to be the woman who took away little Poch's first time..."

Hearing this, Yusuke felt a little relieved.

Regardless of others, at least Senior Sister Hongxia is still trustworthy.Since they are acquaintances, it should be fine.

But after all, he is the one who lives with his sister, so he still has to strictly control the situation.

"Well... Miss Hiroi, I heard that my sister may come to Izu next month to attend the Qinghai Women's University festival. Will you come too?"

Hiroi Kiuri threw the finished wine aside.

"Well...I will come if she agrees to my coming."

"So submissive?!"

"Speaking of which, I really want to see how Pochi and the others are doing lately..." She poked Shiyu's shoulder.

"Just come." Shiyu nodded, "You just have to pay for the travel expenses yourself."

"Eh...why is this..."

Kasumigaoka Yusuke shook his head.

It's really difficult.

"But Yusuke, how did you hear about this?" Shiyu originally planned to tell him today.

"Azuho Hamaoka-senpai told me this. Have you talked about it?"

"Ah, by the way, Miss Zi, I almost forgot. She was very enthusiastic and invited me to stay at her home."

"Um..."

Yusuke touched his chin and fell into thought.

I always feel that Azusa-senpai is also weird.

He looked back at Hayasaka Ai, then turned to look at his sister and Hiroi.

Suddenly, a good idea came to me.

"Then, you can take Miss Hiroi to live with her at her house, and I will ask her for help." He said nonchalantly.

Check and balance first!

"Oh, yes, that's what I meant. Does Miss Azusa also like to drink?" Shiyu was happy. It seems that Yusuke had a good impression of Azusa.

"Yes, and he also likes to play wild ball boxing."

"Oh! Wild Ball Fist!" Hiroi Kiuri suddenly became energetic, "Ah, I miss it so much! I used to play it a lot when I was in college... After playing, being dragged home by Hoshige like a corpse, I miss it so much~ ~~"

"Then, you can have enough fun this time." Yusuke said with a smile, "But it's best not to let my sister play with that, or I will be very angry and annoyed, right?"

"Ah... ok."

The two people on the opposite side of the video couldn't see it, but Hayasaka Ai saw that Yusuke's fingers were about to twist the E string of the bass into a G string.

Sister control is really scary.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this at all. No matter how drunk I am, I will never play that shameless game." Shiyu said expressionlessly, "By the way, that's not for women at all, right?"

"Huh? It's obviously very fun and refreshing, but you're biased." Hiroi Kiuri pouted and said dissatisfiedly.

"Ah, I see, that's it. Wild ball boxing has nothing to do with gender. It's for people who have drunken brains."

When she said this, she stared at her good brother with a smile.

"Yusuke, you deny it?" Hayasaka whispered behind him.

"...I can't deny it."

By the way, why do you want to take off your clothes when you mention wild ball boxing?

Forget it.

"Well, that's it for today, I have to go to class soon..." He was about to hang up the phone and collect his thoughts.

"and many more."

"Huh? Sister, do you have anything else you want to say?"

"Humph."

Shiyu leaned back, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she raised her beautiful legs wrapped in black stockings.

"Since Ms. Azusa has informed you about the Aonome Festival, you must know about the selection of voice actors for the anime adaptation of "Sakura Encounter", right?"

"..."

Kasumigaoka Yusuke fell silent and his expression froze.

For some reason, he didn't want to talk about it.

"For the role of a certain pear, our team chose Mizuki Natsuye? She is also Azusa's friend. Azusa must have told you."

"Ah, yes. It's very bold. After all, she is not known for playing the role of a defeated dog."

"It doesn't matter. Voice actors are all monsters. She is a professional and there will be no problem with any role. You can rest assured."

Yusuke has nothing to worry about that Miss KAYA.

"Well, after all, it's your novel, so you can choose whatever you want, right? You don't need to inform me about this kind of thing." He spread his hands.

"That's not the case."

Kasumigaoka Shiyu's burning red eyes flashed with complex emotions, and the sunlight behind her cast a shadow on her face.

"It's easy for others to say, but I think you are the only one in the world who is qualified to make the decision on the casting of the heroine Saito Keiko." Her voice deepened, and the laziness and casualness just now disappeared.

"..."

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Hiroi Juri moved a chair and sat down next to Shiyu.

Hayasaka Ai also adjusted her clothes and straightened her sitting posture.

As a work that has been on the Qingli Award list for several consecutive years, and as the first work in the highly discussed "Youth Love Story" series, the animation of "Sakura Encounter" is big news in the industry.

Unless there is force majeure, almost no voice actor will refuse the invitation of Kasumi Shiko's team.

Therefore, Yusuke can choose anyone he wants.

"...I don't care, I have no inclination. I actually don't know that much about the ACGN circle. I think it's more professional for you, sister, to choose." However, after a while, Yusuke squeezed out this sentence.

"Doesn't it matter who you choose to match Saito Keiko?" Shiyu also frowned.

"It doesn't matter."

He answered before she even finished her words.

"...It's just a fictional character."

"Then it doesn't matter if I choose her?"

"You have to have a bottom line as a human being, please don't go too far."

Seeing Yusuke's expression of frowning and clenching his teeth, Shiyu was stunned for a second, and then he laughed like a smoothie.

"Haha, what, Yusuke, don't you have nothing to say~~~"

"Cough-cough-"

Yusuke coughed twice.

"What I mean is, sister, for your first animated work in your life, you can't choose an amateur as the voice actress for the heroine, right?"

"Huh, if you say that, you really can't..." she said quietly, "But...correspondingly, you can't choose someone who doesn't understand the story at all, right?"

"Hey, wait, what are you going to do?" Yusuke realized that things were not simple.

"Well, I just had an idea. In short, you just gave me the right to choose the role, and as long as you don't choose her, you don't care, right?"

Yusuke sighed.

"...That's right."

"Then, I'm not welcome." Shiyu poked his brother's face on the screen with his finger, "I promise, we will make "Sakura Encounter" that even you, Yusuke, will be satisfied with."

"...Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Their expressions returned to their original state.

"So that's it for today, Yusuke, please take care of yourself? Try to sleep under a quilt after drinking, otherwise you may catch a cold."
