life in the world

Moreover, when he was walking, he would also slow down and keep a little distance ahead to take care of her speed.

"Brother... remember to tidy up your clothes before going out next time..."

In the not-so-crowded tram car, she took out a wet wipe from her handbag and reminded her elder brother Sato Kaoru to smooth the hair on the back of her head and wipe the dirt on the surface of her sneakers.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't have time to get up late this time. I usually pay attention to combing my hair."

While smiling apologetically, he took the wet towel, bent down to wipe his shoes after pressing down his hair.

only……

Brother, you idiot, it’s not just about combing your hair, is it?She thought to herself, no wonder her former classmates and "friends" would be surprised when they heard her mention Elder Brother.

The eldest lady of the Sifang family, the perfect beautiful girl "Sifang Butterfly", and the nerdy elder brother Sato Kaoru, probably, in the eyes of everyone, they belong to two worlds, right?

But even so, she doesn't care, after all, brother can be ordinary——

Eh……?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

Now besides elder brother, Izumi, Saei, Minako... and Harutaki-san, everyone is a good friend who can socialize freely and communicate on an equal footing...

Chapter 89--Similar experiences

"Thank you for your patronage, please go slowly!"

In the farewell sound of the shopping guide bowing slightly, she, Sifang Diezi walked out of the last clothing store with her elder brother Sato Kaoru.

"Diezi, I'm so sorry for costing you, I really..."

"Okay, brother, what's the use of telling us this. Just treat it as the money we spent to be more comfortable outside today. If you don't feel sorry, then study hard, go to Dongda University, find a good job and pay back money."

She directly interrupted brother No. 14's apology, her helpless tone was already trying her best to conceal her patience.

ADRER's black jacket and black mid-top thick-soled sneakers cost a total of 17600 yen.

Freak's Store's dark green wide-leg casual pants cost 5996 yen.

After replacing nearly half of my elder brother's outfit, the total cost was 23596 yen.

Although to her, even if the money is cut off by her family, this amount of money is nothing, but to her elder brother who doesn't have enough money...

When she thought of his embarrassed expression when she saw the price tag before, she secretly felt amused, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.

People have to face countless multiple-choice questions in this life, but there are only two things that cannot be chosen, and that is birth and death.

Just like her, Diezi Sifang wants to live as an "ordinary" girl, just like him, Kaoru Sato wants to have a good family background and intelligent talent.

Since she and elder brother got off the tram after finding the clothing store on Google Maps, they now have to go back to the station and take the Hanzomon Line tram to Chidorigafuchi.

When she got on the train, she noticed that the compartment was already crowded, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried. Given how popular Chidori Abyss is known as the holy place for viewing cherry blossoms, what kind of situation will it be like there?

July 5, 5:12.

As the moat of the Imperial Palace, Chidori no Abyss is named after its appearance of a thousand-feathered bird and beast fluttering its wings. It became famous for the [-] cherry blossom trees planted on the embankment of the river many years ago. It is the cherry blossom viewing spot second only to Ueno Park. .

The last day of the Golden Week holiday is the last month of spring, and it is also the last cycle of the countdown to the blooming cherry blossoms.Therefore, in order to see the blooming flowers, countless relatives, friends and couples came to go boating on the river. As a result, when she and her elder brother came to Chidorigafuchi, the most attractive thing was not the cherry blossoms, but the crowd of tourists.

"It seems that we can only line up..."

Elder Brother sighed helplessly and looked over to her for advice.

But what can she say?

"It's a holiday after all."

Following Elder Brother to the end of the boat rental line, amidst the noisy voices, "Shouldn't you come earlier if you didn't go shopping for clothes before, so that you can take advantage of the time when everyone is going to eat?"——she couldn't help but have such a thought illusion.

However, after thinking of this, she immediately shook her head, denying her guess.

Compared with waiting in a long queue, it is more difficult to accept the elder brother who still looks bad!

The former is waiting for the sizzling barbecue on the oven to mature, while the latter is looking forward to the charcoal black barbecue that emits a burnt smell after a long time.

Bored, she poked her head out of the queue and looked forward.

There is a bulletin board on the farthest pier guardrail, marking the charter price of 10 yen for three 800 minutes, as well as various warnings and rules.

As for the elder brother nearby...

He was swiping his phone with his head down? !

Of course she can understand and understand elder brother's behavior of swiping his phone while waiting in line. After all, the term "head-down" is often heard in TV discussions and news reports, and it is indeed very boring to stand in a long line. things, but...

But, is she, Sifang Dizi also boring?

Even if there are calls and chats on Line, but I haven't talked face-to-face for more than a month, is there anything Elder Brother wants to say to her?

Don't you have any questions to ask her?

Even if it’s like asking her if she made new friends, caring about her studies, even if it’s nagging about club members or seniors she doesn’t know at all——

Looking down and swiping the phone like this...

"whispering sound……"

She curled her lips dissatisfied.After complaining insignificantly, she also took out her latest iPhone from her handbag, checked the trending searches on Twitter, and who posted what new news in various groups on Line.

Huh?

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): [picture]...] -12:31

Earlier in the morning, she prepared breakfast with Harutaki's sister, Xuanxia, ​​and because she felt that the two chatted well, she took the initiative to scan the QR code and add each other's Line friends.The last message was an invitation from her younger sister Xuanxia to give her another chance to visit Xingchuan's house.That day she and Harutaki went to Shibuya PARCO for a "date" and went straight back to her apartment.

What is Xuanxia-chan looking for at this time?

Because the pictures could not be seen in the list of chat conversations, she wondered if Harutaki-san made some delicious lunch dishes, and clicked into the chat conversations to check.

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): [Picture], [Picture], Sister Sifang, the cherry blossoms are so beautiful!How about taking a photo with your brother if you have a chance? 】--Have read

Etc., etc!

This boat with a sky-blue shell and a white inner warehouse, the rippling river, the lush lawns and cherry blossom trees on the dykes on both sides of the river-is the sense of sight too strong? !

No, no...how could it be such a coincidence?

She thought to herself comfortingly, Xuanxia-chan and Harutaki-san must be boating in a park she doesn't know about, right?

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): Senior Sifang should have heard of the famous Chidori Abyss, right?There are so many tourists during the holidays! [Picture]]--Read

This is a photo taken while queuing, right?

She looked at the news from her younger sister Xuan Xiaxin, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. She didn't see such a conspicuous sign of cherry pink hair in the queue just now——

This way of posting pictures in a chronological order, Xuanxia sauce and Harutaki are obviously not Chidori Abyss from today.

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): The weather is great today, but it’s a pity that it’s the last day of the Golden Week holiday. Otherwise, I can ask Chun Taki to bring Sifang Senior Sister to come again! 】

God, please let us go...

Holding the pink butterfly flower flip shell of honey salon, her hands trembled slightly, and she couldn't type out the characters to reply to the message. She could only stare at the blinking cursor in the text box in a daze.

What if I run into Ayaka-chan and Harutaki-san?

What if Xuanxia-chan noticed her and ran over to say hello?

just in case……

Well, why should we worry so much?

After a while, she woke up from the cold and was stunned, unable to help feeling puzzled by her panic and anxiety.

She and Harutaki-san are just good friends, right...?

She and elder brother are just going out for fun...?

But...but why?

Why was she afraid of meeting Haru Taki-san, and even felt guilty towards him in her heart?

Why is she afraid of being known by her elder brother about her relationship with Harutaki-san, as if she didn't want to be found out when she did something bad?

Obviously the answer to the question was extremely simple and clear, but she dared not face it at all.

Was... seen by Harutaki-san? !

She walked slowly along with the team and then stopped slowly, regretting why she made such a joke just now.

Harutaki-san won't take it seriously, will he?

Well, definitely not, she thought to herself, the other party is not a nerd like elder brother, so he must be able to distinguish the difference between joking and belittling.

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): My brother said he was going to jump into the lake to cleanse himself. I hope Senior Sifang can mourn for Xingchuan (16) for three seconds when he sees the obituary on the evening news www]--read

"Eh!?"

"Ah? Butterfly, what's the matter with you?"

After reacting, she quickly waved her hand with a dry smile, and said it was okay to her older brother Kaoru Sato who cared about her back.

"Hey hey, I accidentally tripped myself and almost fell."

"Die Zi, you are still the same, so reckless... You must be careful, even if you fall on a wooden board, you will hurt. Really... If you can't do it, just grab me."

Seeing her elder brother's blushing face when he faltered and said this, she was a little happier.

Although she, Sifang Diezi is no longer the "Sifang Diezi" she used to be, but Elder Brother is still the same ordinary, clumsy, introverted and inferior elder brother.

However, she almost laughed out loud just now, it was all Harutaki's fault!

Just as she was secretly complaining about someone's joke, the phone vibrated again.

Hey.

[Xuanjiang (Sister Xingchuan): [picture], he said that unless senior sister Sifang praised him, he would jump off now...]

Hurry up and dance, the bastard "scumbag" who disturbs our minds all day long!

She pursed her lips tightly and tried to hold back her smile so as not to make a strange laugh in the team.

What a shame!When I think about it like that, I feel that it is too rude and embarrassing!

but……

She raised her head and looked around, and found that her position in the team had advanced to the last turning point on the pier, and this happened to be a position where there was no obstruction and a panoramic view of the river.

You should be able to see Harutaki-san, right?

Thinking of this, she turned her eyes to the distance, and after a while, she noticed him and her younger sister Xuanxia——

After all, the handsome guy who stands on the bow of the boat and stretches his arms like Christ the Redeemer is really eye-catching.

Hello!This is Tokyo, not Rio de Janeiro, Harutaki-san!

Harutaki-san's request is too much!

Anyway—

Anyway, it was just a joke on Line, she thought to herself that if she had the chance, she would definitely kick Harutaki into the water.

What an excessive guy, actually using this method to threaten her!

What, what marriage application form! ?

It's not embarrassing for Mr. Haruaki to make jokes with his younger sister...

She moved her eyes away from the phone, looked at the river in the distance, and saw the handsome man walking down from the bow hugging the beautiful girl with pink hair, and then the two sat on the same horizontal board, like other people. Like lovers in a boat—

Wait, can siblings be this close?
