Why does the Ruined King still fall in love?

"The specific content of the email is specific..."

In the middle of speaking, Yukinoshita suddenly realized something and paused, then took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, turned his gaze back, looked down obliquely at the front, and after a few seconds of silence, he returned Asked

"Sorry...email, do you reply every time?"

"Ah. Considering all aspects, an honest reply is the wisest choice, right?"

Although I don't want to go back... but the consequence of that is... um... doomsday... very likely.what......

My answer brought Yukinoshita a short period of contemplation, and during this period, I walked to the fork in the road where I usually separated from her. Next, I went straight, and Yukinoshita walked across the sidewalk and turned right.

"Then, here we go..."

"Bikigu-kun."

At this time, his name was suddenly called again.

"Ok?"

Yukinoshita and I stopped here, Yukinoshita hesitated a little at my strange gaze, and finally turned his head to the side, not meeting my gaze.

"...your...your...email..."

Intermittent words popped out of Yukinoshita's mouth, but he couldn't hear them clearly.

"......what?"

"Hmm."

After coughing twice as if clearing his throat, he looked at me obliquely with a half-hesitant and half-serious expression

"You, your email address...can...can you tell me?"

"......Eh?"

wait, what is this? !wrong!

"...No, if it doesn't work, then..."

"Ah, uh...no, it's not something that can't be done..."

He couldn't get the purpose of Yukinoshita's move all at once, so he could only quickly take out his phone instinctively, and although he didn't know why, he still quickly reported his email address.And Yukinoshita also quickly wrote it down with his mobile phone, and then continued to ask.

"If you can...phone number..."

"Oh......"

By the way, the phone number was also reported.

Then, it ended with Yukinoshita's quick and soft "see you tomorrow", and quickly walked across the sidewalk when the light was green. I also watched her disappear around the corner and set foot on the way home again.

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

The cooking pot on the natural gas hood is steaming, and the fragrance emanating from it can't help but arouse the faint appetite.

It's already dinner time, but lately the dinner time of Qigu's house is generally later than other people's - because the parents come home very late, sometimes they don't come home all night, The two of them seem to have brought bedding and other things to the company. Since they were promoted, they have indeed brought about a lot of changes... although the salary does not necessarily change.

I was bored sitting by the kotatsu playing with my phone, and Komachi sat across from me lazily lying on the low table with a comfortable expression on her face. Today's dinner preparation is her turn, that's why even in the living room she can The aroma that can be smelled permeates, and after the soup is cooked, the rice can be served.

"elder brother."

"Huh? What's the matter? Komachi."

When he said that, Komachi slowly stood up and looked over with a curious gaze.

"I said... recently, are you playing some mobile games?"

"what?"

No, Komachi, why did you say that suddenly... I cast a puzzled look, and Komachi continued.

"Because my brother likes to hold his mobile phone at home recently, right?"

"Well...even I, I occasionally read the news and anime and game news, Komachi."

"But those things don't often use both hands to operate, brother."

After being told by Komachi, I subconsciously looked at the phone that was still lighted in my hand...Staying in the mail interface, and emails that have not been edited...If I say recently that I like to hold For the mobile phone, the reason is definitely this...It is almost like a daily task only in the game-honestly recovering the email sent by Yango. Although it is not the original intention... ..

By the way, when did my sister become so sharp?Of course, it doesn't mean that it is better to be dull. Komachi is smart and cute, and she is the proud younger sister of her brother.

It should be a happy thing to be paid so much attention by such a sister... So I slowly put down the phone unconsciously, definitely, definitely not because of guilty conscience!

"Well, look, occasionally... my brother will send emails with friends... right?"

"Liar."

The next second after I finished speaking, my lovely sister completely denied it. Without the slightest hesitation, she stared at her with extremely disbelieving eyes.

It hurts!

"what......"

A few seconds later, Komachi sighed helplessly, and then he shook his head and spread his hands together

"Stupid brother, it's so easy to spot a lie. How could such a thing..." Huh?classmate?friend?That dispensable and fragile relationship doesn’t matter anymore, why do you have to spend time establishing and maintaining those superficial hypocritical relationships, only guys who are clamoring and praising youth all day will care about these.”…So, Is there anything I need to add, idiot bro."

"That... Komachi, regardless of what I call me... your expression is very strange, and your tone is also very strange. Is the old man possessed? If that's the case, hurry to the shrine Is it better?"

"That's how my brother usually talks!"

Komachi puffed up her cheeks in disbelief, looking angry.

don't want!I can do it alone!Komachi must not be allowed to become like this!

But then again...for Komachi to talk like that...it's all my fault, right?I'm sorry—probably the apology in my heart showed up unconsciously. Komachi's anger gradually disappeared, and his expression gradually changed to helplessness. After putting his hands in front of his face, he sighed softly.

"...If, if something happens, I can discuss it with you, maybe there will be quite useful suggestions...Brother."

"Yeah—I see, Komachi, thank you..."

Komachi's words were quite useful, and they were enough.

He didn't continue to ask, but just showed a look of "I lost to you". After speaking, Komachi slowly stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"The soup is about to be cooked, it's time to eat~"

I checked my phone again, ready to finish the unsent emails-but...

"Hikigu-kun~ Are you thinking about my sister~ I can come here anytime if I want~"

It's really embarrassing for me to reply to this kind of email... NO!Are you trying to make things difficult for me, a person who has no sense of existence? !Generally speaking, it is "greetings" and "chat" emails, right?It will be very disturbing to suddenly send this kind of email with exactly the same content as your lover!In other words, that person and I are indeed in a "communication". From the current situation, it is reasonable to send this kind of email, but...

"Ha...forget it, just pretend you didn't see it..."

Even if I was asked later...you can use the phone's battery, so I didn't see this excuse at the time and fooled it first...probably.Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"Then, brother, what Yona-san asked later is very bad, it's a lie."

"Ahh...I know, but now...?"

Komachi’s voice suddenly sounded next to my ear, and I answered half of it habitually. It was too late when I found out. When I slowly followed the sound and looked back, Komachi’s head was right above my shoulder, staring at the phone screen carefully, gently "Hmm" nodding

"Komachi... don't you know it's bad behavior to peek at other people's phones?"

"Yeah, but it's okay because it's my brother. Then, how about replying?"

What do you mean it's okay if you're the older brother... I can still enjoy the protection of the Japanese legal system...

"If you reply to the letter, you don't need it. How about dinner?"

"It's ready~"

"Is that so...... I'm already very hungry"

I sighed softly, put away my phone and stood up, and Komachi also walked towards the dining table.

Probably... an email that was treated as a joke or something?Komachi...if that's the case.

But this is probably impossible, right?For that person, if he really replied to the letter as Komachi said, probably that person would really come after a while, right?As long as you say something, it will definitely be done... This is her, so every time you reply to the letter, you will become cautious... Try not to bring up new topics and avoid new incidents .Even if I knew that an answer like "What are you doing now?" would be better, I didn't dare to send it out without authorization, and I didn't even have the courage to edit it. Because I have already started to imagine the follow-up after sending this email in my heart. And what a follow-up... that's bound to be a more complicated, more obviously ambiguous email exchange, which I... don't want to be like that.

Therefore, not replying is the correct way. It is not the best way.

--------------------------------------------------

After dinner and playing with the TV and the handheld for a while, the parents still couldn’t go home, but there was a call from the other side saying that they would not be back tonight. It seemed that they needed to work overtime until late at night. I just slept over there after I finished... It was hard work, Mr. Section Chief's father.

So, after washing, it's time to go to sleep.

"Then, good night brother."

"Oh, good night, Komachi."

After saying goodbye to each other, we returned to the room, because there was really nothing to do... If you study, you can skip it. Homework and the like should have been completed except for mathematics. It's not that I left mathematics on purpose. Homework... Um, are you embarrassing me by asking someone who has worked so hard to face a math test to only get a 5 to do homework?Oh no, wait, maybe it's not embarrassment, it's making things difficult... In short, even if you get scolded, there's nothing you can do about it.

After taking off my coat, I leaned directly on the bed, tried to exhale slowly to get rid of the "mathematical shadow" that remained in my heart, stared at the ceiling for a while, and took out my phone again in front of your eyes.

...Should I reply to the letter...

"never mind......"

After more than ten seconds, I put the phone aside and made a plan. I always feel that it is really against the law for such information to appear on my phone. Although it is not possible to delete it directly... just let it It is forgotten in the deepest part of this phone.

I slowly got up, turned off the light, went back to the bed and turned on the lamp. I took out this afternoon's library book from the cabinet next to the bed, and I was going to read it for a while. However, just as I adjusted my sitting posture and was about to open the book At that moment, the screen of the mobile phone that had been left at the end of the bed suddenly lit up, accompanied by a short notification sound, indicating that there was a new email.

"Ha... So, only this, really please let me go..."

Anyway, someone probably posted another one because they got tired of waiting...By the way, the content is probably going to be the kind of scary message...It is also possible that it will be burned at the stake. of it.

While thinking about it, he also took the phone into his hand, and confirmed it with helplessness, but got a completely different result——

"Under the Snow. Yukino"

I couldn't help blinking my eyes, and after rubbing it with my hands a few times, what I saw again was still the same name.

Although there is only one word difference between Yukinoshita Yono, but I still have confidence in my liberal arts, so I can't read it wrong......

With doubts, he gently clicked on the content of the email.

“[Test] Mr. Biqigu, please be sure to reply [confirm receipt] after receiving the email. Note that this is just a test email, and the content of the test is whether the email address is correct. If there is a mistake, please ignore and accept my apology .”

...Ahh... I was scared, no matter the sender or the content, I was completely scared... What is this? !Missy's game? !Please tell me is this really an email from that person? !Could it be the young lady who has never used the function of mail before? !How can there be such a test reason as "whether the email address is correct"... Are you doubting me...

"call......"

A helpless and heavy sigh sounded in the room, after which I clicked on the reply letter and entered the content

【Acknowledgment of receipt】

Send... and that's it.

In the next second, a notification that the sending was successful appeared on the screen. Well, although such an email is quite strange, compared to the previous one, replying is not a headache... Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at least... now it seems that that person doesn't seem to care too much about whether to reply to the letter, congratulations, congratulations.

After putting the phone on the side cabinet, I sat back and prepared to read a book——

"drop--"

The phone screen lit up again—Mail.

Illusion... Is it true that as Komachi said, I use my mobile phone at home more frequently than before?Maybe... After all, the email function seems to be used in the normal range recently. In the past, it was mostly used when dealing with spam emails. I still think about it for a few years. Will this function on the mobile phone be directly canceled by the manufacturer in the future? After all, very few people use it, right?

I sighed softly, put the book down and grabbed the phone again.So, this time again...

[From Yukinoshita. Yukino——Sorry, I sent this kind of email suddenly at this time... I hope I didn't bother you, because I haven't used the "mail" function, so I think it is necessary to confirm . 】

Ah, this person seems to have summed up a very sad thing in a few words... Although I have no right to feel sorry for others.

"Since I haven't slept and I haven't got anything to do, it's totally fine... Sorry, I don't need it."

While speaking, after translating what he said into text and sending it over, he exhaled lightly

"what......"

Speaking of which, that guy doesn't seem to be very good at many electronic devices and machines, and even Yuigahama doesn't use emails to communicate much... It's really convenient to call directly, but Sometimes there will be situations where you can't speak freely...for example, when you don't want the content of your conversation to be known by others...

Just as I was thinking about all this nonsense, the phone rang again—but this time it wasn't an email, it was a phone call.

The same name is still displayed on the screen - Yukinoshita Yukino, this name that was only added to the phone today has appeared three times in a row in just a few minutes... because I am still worried So now it's the turn of voice verification... By the way, how uneasy I am... Ms. Yukinoshita...

Sighing in my heart, I also connected the phone, and put it gently to my ear.

"......Hey?"

"..."

There was no echo on the other end of the phone, and it was surprisingly quiet. After confirming that I was indeed on the phone, I tried to ask again.

"......Hey?"
