The faded person who shuttles between the everyday and the extraordinary

After a long time, he sighed faintly: "Kaguya, you were not like this before. When we first met, you were more friendly to me."

"It depends on what you did." Kaguya, who didn't look at him at all, looked into the distance intently, and asked the question that she had always wanted to ask before: "Brother... do you really think so? Do you see a girl lifting up her skirt in front of you?"

"What are you thinking? Could I be that kind of person?"

"But didn't you just say that all men are perverts?"

"Without a doubt, I am the exception."

"Is it really?"

"You still don't believe me?"

"…If it had been a day ago, I might have tried to believe it."

"...I really didn't expect that the bond between us brothers and sisters would be so fragile." An Yan, who was trying to save something, pretended to be regretful and sighed hard, but Kaguya couldn't help but look at him with resentment. He then sighed: "...I never thought that my brother would be such a person."

Chapter 21 Do it as long as it is not prohibited by law

Shinomiya Kaguya's speech made An Yan feel a little hurt, and he couldn't help but miss the way Kaguya was respectful to him at the beginning: "...Is this the rebellious phase?"

"No, I'm thinking about whether I should hire a psychiatrist for you to help purify your mind."

Kaguya's tone when she spoke was so serious that it didn't sound like a joke at all, so he simply changed the subject and said: "Put this aside for now. Compared to my question, do you really want that person to join the student union?"

"What's wrong? Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to supervise you? Or do you really want to attack the student union?"

"...How is that possible?" He turned away silently, but Kaguya already knew it, but didn't want to talk to him anymore: "Then the matter is settled, but what do you want money for so much? ?”

"Take the tram."

"If you answer honestly, I can consider giving you money, and then..." Kaguya paused mid-sentence, and her eyes gradually became sharper: "Do you want to find that person named Irena? A woman?"

"What are you talking about, what kind of woman?" The strange statement made An Yan speechless: "She is just a child like you."

"...So you really want to find that guy?"

"Well, it's normal to want to see friends, right? But it's really far from here to Shimokitazawa. If you can, lend me some money and let me take the train there..."

"--no."

"No...didn't you just say you could consider giving me money?" He looked depressed, but Kaguya refused expressionlessly: "The result of consideration is that I won't lend it, and we will not allow you to continue to contact us. I am also worried that you will run away from home again, so I won’t give you money or let anyone give you money. Just stay at home and my family will arrange a marriage partner for you.”

"No matter how much you say marriage, it's a bit too far, right?"

"It's not far away. We are already looking for a suitable marriage partner. The partner will definitely be a rich young lady, and by then our family will no longer restrict your money too much. You won't need to worry about money in the future."

"Haha...that's really great..."

He said this, but he really couldn't be happy. After all, he had no intention of using his body to contribute to the Shinomiya family, let alone wasting the rest of his life on these things.

Although finding a rich lolita to marry and saving you 50 years of hard work and so on, for most people...including him, it is still quite tempting to a certain extent.

.....................

Although life has many helplessness, life still has to go on, but there will still be some struggle.

In the next six months, although he was never able to see his little friend, he wandered out many times and went to Shimokitazawa several times but could not find where Irena lived.

But he also never went to the student union once. He carried out his own will throughout the whole process, either meditating in class or going back to training after school.

And today...

"——Only a fool would seriously go to the student union to work voluntarily! Feel free to evacuate today~!"

An Yan, who was forced to go to class, ended her meditation the moment the bell rang at noon and quickly took advantage of her advantage in the corner of the last row by the window to climb up the window sill before others looked here, intending to escape from the school directly through the second floor window. .

He made up his mind that he would not even go back home, but would go to Shimokitazawa to try his luck again to see if he could find Irena.

But he opened the window and stepped on the window sill with one foot, when a hand appeared from behind him and grabbed his back collar, followed by a familiar voice: "——You are a student. Bar?!"

"....What are you doing in my class just after Kaguya?" He froze, but quickly turned around calmly and acted like an elder brother: "Did you run here quickly? ? Running on the aisle is not the behavior a lady should have, and it is not the behavior a member of the Shuchiin Student Union should have! Go back and write a two thousand word review and give it to me before tomorrow!"

"Ah, yes... I'm sorry, brother-sama... I'm so sorry - no, that's not right!"

Seeing his overly serious expression, Kaguya, who had the instinct to follow the rules, lowered her head and apologized subconsciously. But halfway through, she came back to her senses and glared at him with gritted teeth: "It's better to jump from the second floor than to run in the corridor!" It’s too much!”

"What are you talking about? The school rules don't say you can't jump out of the second-story window!"

Hearing his righteous retort, Kaguya didn't tolerate it at all and dragged him down directly: "——That's because normal people won't jump out of the window!"

"Haven't you heard that you can do whatever is prohibited by law? Not to mention the school rules! Since there are no laws, of course it is allowed."

"I've never heard of this! Please stop being sophistical! Come with me to the student union room quickly! Brother! As the president of the student union, you are half..." He almost said that An Yan had not gone there even once in the six months since he took office. After passing the student union room, Kaguya, who was all covering up for her, braked in time to stop the conversation, turned to look at the students who were watching them curiously, her face suddenly changed like turning a book, and she said guiltily with a smile:

"I'm really sorry. Brother-sama occasionally has strange ideas, but I will go back and talk to him properly."

After saying that she bowed her head slightly to apologize, she dragged An Yan out of the classroom and dragged him to the student union office.

It was only after she closed the door of the Student Union that she turned her head again and reprimanded with a straight face: "——Brother! Can you be a little more careful about the impact! Your words and deeds represent more than just you!"

"Don't worry, I will actively learn from my experience."

"How about just learning from experience? Although you say this every time, you haven't changed it every time, right?"

Although An Yan was very confident, after knowing him for such a long time, Kaguya naturally didn't have any hope for it. After saying a few words, he didn't bother to say anything else and just sorted out the information.

An Yan sat on the chair of the student council president, holding his chin with one hand and looking out the window at the students doing warm-up exercises. He was obviously the student council president, but his head was full of dark thoughts.

"...It's so troublesome. This voluntary labor is really too troublesome. Why didn't a meteorite fall and blow up this school..."

There is no way... Since he entered school, he has been running between school and home. Normally, he is picked up and dropped off by car. Otherwise, because he is too busy, he is allowed to exercise a little and have dinner with some club presidents to represent the Shinomiya family. When attending some banquets, there is basically no entertainment.

Every day is either studying, exercising, practicing fighting skills, or watering the golden tree that has just sprouted seedlings in the independent greenhouse that he specially built in the corner of the courtyard.

However, this kind of two-point-one-line life made him somewhat bored.

He finally gained freedom, but because he had no money, he basically couldn't move freely. It really made him understand deeply what it means to be a hero with a penny, to travel all over the world with money, but to be unable to move even without money.

But before the resentment lasted for too long, Kaguya sighed from behind: "...Brother, even if you really think this way, you shouldn't say it in a place where someone may appear at any time, right?"

Looking back, Kaguya was holding the folder and looking at him with an unsurprising expression of helplessness.

"Kaguya, my dear sister..."

"No." Before he could finish speaking, Kaguya interrupted firmly.

Chapter 22 The sister-in-law targets the sister-in-law?

An Yan wanted to please a little, but she didn't even have a chance to finish her words. She was rebuffed and her face froze. She couldn't help but slap the table and get up:

"——I haven't said anything yet! I am your brother after all! At least listen to what your brother has to say!"

"When I hear the word 'dear', I almost understand what you want to do." After getting along with each other for more than half a year, his attitude softened little by little and his expression became quite rich, and the relationship with him also attracted a lot of attention from Kaguya again. With a cold smile, he said decisively:

"Anyway, you must want me to handle everything, right? I have promised you to be the vice president to help you share the work. You can handle the rest by yourself."

"How could it be? I'm just borrowing today..." He didn't show any embarrassment when his thoughts were exposed. He changed the subject and said his second expectation without thinking, but Kaguya handed over the document before he even finished speaking. He slapped it on the table and refused: "Don't even think about borrowing money. Just forget about that woman."

"I just want to go out and have fun...not to find Irena."

"Then I'll go with you."

"...Thank you, but no need, I suddenly don't want to go out." He sat back on the chair very lonely.

"Really? That's really a pity." Kaguya smiled and walked to the cabinet not far away. While making tea, she asked without looking back: "Actually, it's about time you started studying honestly, right? Maybe this will be a problem at home. Restore your monetary support.”

"....What kind of study?"

"First place is enough."

"...That's true. It's such a waste of time. Let's forget it."

Spend a lot of time to get to the top of the grade, and then go to another world... to discuss math problems with others?Or Japanese history?Or recite poetry and make sentences? ——Just thinking about An Yan made me feel stupid, so I gave up wasting time on the questions.

Kaguya was not surprised by his choice. She just shook her head and said: "It's up to you. Anyway, you're right. Studying is not the only way out. It doesn't matter if you like to fight and kill, but no matter how you talk about giving up socializing, it doesn't matter. No, the students in this school are different from other schools, most of them have their own value."

"I really don't want to say such realistic and philistine words from my own sister's mouth..."

"——Who do you think I'm saying this for?!" He spread his hands with a look of sadness on his face, causing Kaguya to suddenly say with a black line on his face: "It's not for you! Although the hope of becoming the head of the family is almost No, but you are a male anyway, so you have to give yourself more power, right?"

"Well... what you said makes sense, I will definitely reflect on it." In fact, he had no plans to compete for any property in the Shinomiya family, but now he could only nod in agreement.

Kaguya understood that his mind was not on that at all. Although he was a little worried that his brother was too greedy, he could only continue: "Anyway, don't even think about going back today. At least get to know all the student council members, right? And Fujiwara-san I will definitely come today."

"Fujiwara? Ah~ your only friend?" During this period of time, he had been meditating, training, or taking care of his saplings, skipping all student union work, and he had never met Kaguya's friends.

"Only...what do you mean?"

"Isn't that your only friend?"

"That's so rude, brother! Even I can't have only one friend." Kaguya raised her eyebrows dissatisfied and pressed her hands on the table unconvinced.

However, An Yan just looked at her with warm eyes, smiled and nodded: "Yes...I'm sorry, it was my fault, I shouldn't have doubted you."

"What's going on with that look in your eyes? Don't you believe it?"

"Don't get me wrong, I still believe..."

"Obviously you are the one who doesn't even have a friend!"

"Speaking of which..." She really doesn't have any friends after being grounded all year round. Faced with this undeniable fact, An Yan's face froze, but she soon thought of Irena after a long separation, and confidently retorted: "Who said No, I have friends! And more than you!"

"Who?"

"Irena."

"Oh... Hayasaka, let's not talk about it for now. Are you thinking about that ex-girlfriend who cheated with you again?"

Kaguya's tone sounded like a joke, but the tone was bone-chilling.

He even put his hands on the table, leaned over most of the time, and looked down at him from below with a smile on his face: "Brother, what do you want me to say to you? Just now you said you didn't want to." Go find that woman, but actually you haven’t forgotten that woman until now?”

"...Be normal, I'm a little scared..."

The cold gaze made him instinctively lean back and distance himself.

"Do you really have the consciousness to be a fourth house?"

"no!"

"——So happy?!" Kaguya's hands softened and she fell off the table, almost hitting her head on the table.

Then he got up again, resting his chin on the table with only his head exposed, staring at him resentfully: "I told you, can't you live a little more seriously?"

"Who says I'm not serious? Haven't I always worked hard?"

"...Indeed, you are very serious about learning fighting and survival in the wild, but why do you go to the shooting range, get a gun license, and ask someone to buy a shotgun for you? I heard that The gun does not comply with normal regulations. It is a 'legal' military type obtained through special channels. Are you a student? You don't think about money and want to commit armed robbery, do you?"

"What are you thinking about? You have too much imagination. No matter what, it's impossible for me to do that kind of thing, but Kaguya, this is not just a hobby."

"What is that?" Kaguya on the table half-squinted her eyes, looking unconvinced.

"I'm working to save the world."

"The topic of the game?"

"I'm serious, even though I don't think there's any hope."

"...I hope you can be more serious..." Kaguya, who couldn't believe it at all, let out a long sigh with a tired mood.

"Speaking of which...why hasn't Fujiwara-san arrived yet?"

"Changing the subject?"

"Don't get me wrong, I want to get started as soon as possible."

"...It would be great if that were the case." Kaguya sighed silently for the first time today, but there was nothing she could do about it. She temporarily put aside the depression in her heart and warned: "No. I want to interfere with you, but as a member of the Shinomiya family, you should choose your friends carefully, otherwise what will happen if you are misunderstood as someone of the same kind? I really beg you, even if you try to be like that guy who doesn’t seek to improve, You hang out with actresses all day long, and don’t associate with people like your ex-girlfriend anymore.”

"Ah, well, I'll pay attention..."

These words sounded inexplicably like a sister-in-law was targeting his sister-in-law, but it sounded like a very ordinary admonishment, but he always felt that he had been hurt unintentionally... Sure enough, it was just an illusion, right?

Just like that, he started to lay down on the table, and the student union room became quiet again. Seeing that he was depressed, Kaguya stopped saying anything to him, and silently sat on the seat next to the sofa, sorting out what the student union should do. Processed files.

But the silence didn't last long, and the door was pushed open again.

Chapter 23 A girl who doesn’t take the usual path·Chika Fujiwara

Just when the room in the student union was quiet, a girl wearing Shuji Academy uniform, smiling all over her face, looking very cheerful, with pink shoulder-length hair and pretty facial features, just pushed the door open and entered. .

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the bust size that is quite inappropriate for his age, enough to make any man unable to help but take a second look.
