About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

"A-Ring-!"

"It hurts, it hurts!"

"You guys actually know the pain? Didn't you go skiing with Yuki this afternoon? Huh?! Why did you suddenly come back halfway? You lied to me, brother, didn't you?" Raku Sakakibara increased the intensity of his fists.

"Stop! This is this, this is... it hurts, it hurts! Brother, stop drilling into my head, it's going to break."

"Say it!"

Sakakibara Raku spoke carefully, with a very serious expression. Sakakihara Raku covered her head, knowing that she could not escape this interrogation.

But she never thought about the reason why she came back.

She was just curious about what her brother was going to do with her two sisters, so she returned to the hotel halfway.

"me--"

"speak nicely!"

Sakakibara Suzu put her hands behind her back and looked away, "Yuki suddenly wants to sleep!"

"Don't blame Yuki!"

"Okay. It's me. I suddenly want to sleep, hahaha~~ In fact, Yuki feels the same, but I'm not blaming him. That's the fact, so we're back."

"Huh? Is this the point I'm talking about?"

Sakakibara Suzu's pressure doubled, and her neck shrank, "Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not spying on you from the next door. At most, it was accidental. I accidentally saw it once! It was just once!"

"."

One moment? !

This bastard girl, isn’t it true that this place doesn’t have three hundred taels of silver when you say these things?

This stinky girl was definitely next door, and she was definitely watching.

Thinking of the situation at that time, Sakakihara wanted to cover his face at this moment.

This is so shameful

"Oh, brother, you don't have to worry. It's not the first time I've seen him anyway, so there's no need to be so sad."

When Sakakibara immediately put down her face and covered her face, she sternly questioned her: "So Suzu, do you mean that you were indeed peeping next door?"

Sakakihara Suzu immediately became energetic and sat upright, "No! Absolutely not! I just said if, if!"

"."

You can't believe anything this girl says.

Sakakibara held his face with his right hand and looked at his sister who was sitting upright opposite him. He thought to himself. She was embarrassed to admit this to Suzu, and it was also very embarrassing for him to talk to her.

What can I do to her?

There's nothing that can be done about it, and it would be even more ridiculous to tell my mother about it.

Do you want to tell mom that your daughter accidentally peeped next door while I was doing those things?

Not at all, okay!

"Brother~~"

"What are you doing? You come here to act like a spoiled brat when you get into trouble?"

"Seriously! I was so careless!"

"You accidentally watched it for a few hours, right?"

"No! I really just took a look, and then I hid in the hot spring and took a bath with Yuki. How could I dare to look more. Besides, the matter of the brother and the two sisters is not uncommon to me. It’s something.”

"."

Seeing that he was still eating, Sakakibara Suzu immediately started her aegyo company, grabbing Sakakibara's arm and shaking her.

"Brother~Brother~Onii-chan~~just forgive me, okay?"

"She feels like a scumbag. She acts coquettishly when encountering trouble. When you get married, your husband will be deceived by you."

"What? They say I won't get married. I'm a well-known idol now, and I don't even have a boyfriend. But... I have my most beloved brother! Having this is enough!"

Sakakihara Raku was really helpless towards this idiot sister, and sighed: "You still know that you are an idol, but you don't know how to pay attention at home. Be careful that the paparazzi will one day dig out your bad habits and post them on the Internet, even your fans will I don’t buy your fault anymore.”

"Life is life, work is work! As long as I have talent, that's enough, life won't be any worse. So, brother~~ just forgive me, okay?"

"."

"Brother~ I love you so much~~"

"."

"Don't believe it? If you don't believe it, please dig out my heart. The word "love you" will definitely be written on it~~"

"."

"I want to kiss your cheek~mua~mua~~"

Sakakibara suddenly looked disgusted and said, "Go away, go away."

"Hehe~~"

"Still giggling? When you grow up, I see you still giggling at me."

"I can still smile at you, brother~ You said that, and I am the only brother like you, so I must respect you very much, brother."

"."

"So...forgive me?"

well.

What else can I do if I don’t forgive you?

Anyway, I have been entangled with my idiot sister, my happy enemy, all my life. Seeing that her calling me brother is quite pleasant, I don't bother to argue with her.

"It won't happen again."

"Okay!" Sakakihara Suzu immediately brought him tea and water.

After sitting in the room for a while drinking her sister's tea, Sakakibara glanced at the time, which was 7:12 in the evening.

My mother and uncle will probably come back for the New Year dinner now, right?

"A-ling, just stay here and watch TV with Yuki for a while. I'll go to the next room to see how Liuli and the others are resting."

"Oh," Sakakihara Suzu agreed, but couldn't help but be curious, "You said Sister Liuli could get out of bed - it hurts! Hit me again."

Sakakibara retracted the knife on her head, with dead fish eyes, "Talk too much."

"Don't hit me so hard, it hurts. At least brother, you have a sister like me who can talk to you a little bit! You see, so many people in this world are only children, and they don't have brothers or sisters to talk to. There are also things like sharing moods and feelings. If you break me, you will lose a biological sister who can chat with you."

This is true.

Sakakihara Raku was an only child in his last life and lacked love. This is why he loves Suzu so much in this life.

This girl is a bit naughty and bratty, but as she said, she still loves her brother from the bottom of her heart.

If everyone in the world suddenly disappeared, she would probably be the kind of person who would always stay by her side and always try to make herself happy.

While Sakakibara Raku was lost in thought, Sakakibara Suzu continued to talk:

"So, brother, you have to cherish me. When you moved away more than a year ago, no one understood you. Didn't I go and chat with you alone?"

Sakakihara Raku remembered that incident in the past.

This bastard girl can really say some touching words when she is at her lowest point.

"Okay, okay, I'm going to see Qiyue Liuli. When mom and uncle come back later, we can have New Year's Eve dinner together."

"Okay! I'm waiting for you, bro, mua~"

"Stop it."

Raku Sakakibara put on outdoor shoes and walked out of the hot spring hotel room.

It was already dark at seven o'clock.

There was not a trace of moonlight or snow visible outside the wooden corridor, but it was still quite large.

Suddenly, an old woman passed by in the corridor. She smiled, nodded and bowed to Sakakibara, and said "Happy Year-End". Sakakibara also nodded and bowed in response to her.

The old lady has gray hair and seems to be in good spirits.

"Are you here to celebrate the New Year? From your accent, it sounds like you are not a local."

"Yes, I came with my family," Raku Sakakihara looked at the old woman's slightly hunched figure, "Are you too, old woman? It sounds like the accent from Kyoto."

"It's nice to spend time with my family. I just come here every year to see the snow."

"Along with grandpa?"

"No," the old lady shook her head, "He left early. He used to come with me every year to see the snow, but these years I am the only one who comes here to see it."

".terribly sorry."

"It's okay. It's been a long time." The old lady waved her hands slowly and shook her head.

"What about your children?"

"They all have their own things to do. How can I, an old woman, care about them?"

That's true

Many people in this world say that raising children is a way to prepare for old age.

But when I became an old man, I still felt extremely empty inside.

After all, children also have their own families.

"However, even if the old man passed away early, I still formed a habit," the old woman suddenly looked at the frost and white snow falling at night, and said in a calm voice, "more or less, it is because I still miss him in my heart that I choose to continue every year. The unforgettable scene of coming here to see the snow is still vivid in my mind. This year seems to be the 29th, right? Alas, I can’t remember it anymore.”

"Grandma, let's take you back to your room."

"Haha. Thank you. No, I can still walk."

The conversation with the old woman was just a few words.

But looking at the old woman's back as she walked away, my heart suddenly felt empty, as if I wanted to sigh for something.

My partner left early, but because he often accompanied me here, he insisted on coming to this place to watch the snow for nearly thirty years.

Thirty years.

Sakakibara couldn't describe what kind of emotion this was, but he felt that the grandfather who left early should be the most worthwhile person to meet in life for the old woman.

With this inexplicable sad emotion, Sakakibara opened the door to the two sisters' guest room.

There is heating in the room, so the temperature is much higher.

The first thing he saw was Tianhai Jiuliuli lying on the bed and resting peacefully.

At another glance, what I saw was Amami Nanamigetsu sitting on her knees next to the small heater, facing the TV, wearing a white lily patterned yukata.

She wore gold-rimmed glasses and had long flaxen hair. Probably because she drank too much tea today. The cup she held in her little hand was filled with steaming boiled water.

"Sister is asleep." Nanami Nanamiyue looked at Raku Sakakibara at the door.

"It's normal when you're asleep."

Sakakibara entered the room, closed the door, stepped on the Japanese tatami, and sat down next to Nanami Nanami.

On the TV, NHK's red and white song show was preheating and was about to start. Tianhai Qimingyue was holding a cup of hot water and noticed someone's eyes that looked strange as soon as he sat down.

"Huh? Why, you suddenly keep looking at me like this."

"July."

"Want to act like a spoiled brat?"

".I didn't say that."

Tianhai Qimingyue still couldn't understand his thoughts. She put down the water glass, corrected her kneeling posture, reached out and patted her thighs that were close together. Regardless of the reason, she said, "Okay, come here first."

Qi Qi's voice was not as cold as usual, nor was it as arrogant as usual.

Instead, she gestured plainly and gently to Sakakibara to lie down on her lap.

"."

"What? You want to be arrogant with me? Are you following the bad example of my sister-chan?"

"I'm not."

"Then come here quickly and just lie down."

Sakakihara lay delicately on Qiyue's lap, feeling the warm fragrance on her body.

"Come closer to your face." Tianhai Qimingyue said softly.

"Why are you so gentle all of a sudden?"

Tianhai Qimingyue said angrily, "Come closer, it's time to pick your ears, don't think too much."

"oh"

Sakakihara Raku then leaned over.

His face was caressed by the girl's delicate hands, and he felt the softness of her thighs and the warmth through the silk of her yukata.

It feels great.

Sakakibara Raku remembers that just after Suzu's birthday last year, she also dug her ears like this in July, right?

He was lying on her lap like this at that time, but it was in her room, and this was in a hot spring hotel on New Year's Eve.

The movement of the ear pick was tickling, and Qi Qi's movements were also very careful and gentle.

"What happened again?"

"Nothing happened." Sakakihara felt the softness of her legs from the side of his face.

"I don't know you yet?"

"."

"Say it, I'm listening."

Other words may not sound like much, but July's words "I'm listening" made Sakakihara Raku have the desire to let go of all his defenses and pour out his feelings to her in the next moment.

"Just when I came here just now, I met a grandma in the corridor."

At this time, he felt that Qiyue was really good to him. He was aware of his own heart, and he was patient and willing to listen to himself saying things that seemed boring to others.

"Hmm." Tianhai Qi Mingyue listened patiently and continued to pick his ears gently, "So, brother, what kind of thoughts did you have on the grandma's matter?"

"There are no novel ideas, but I suddenly thought of you in July. Were you waiting for me with that empty feeling in the past? Even though I knew I would never see the person I wanted to see, I still felt it in my heart. Make a place for that person.”

"I have to correct my brother. In my heart, I still think that there is a very small chance of meeting you. It's just very slim."

"Then assuming we don't meet again, will you still look for me secretly in July?"

"meeting."

"Why."

"Brother, didn't you already know this? To me, you mean something extraordinary."

"What if it's never found?"

"I don't know. There is a high probability that my sister will still listen to my mother's words. In the future, my sister and I will be separated due to different paths. My sister went to England to become a classical piano artist, while I stayed in Tokyo and inherited a small part of the family business. Extremely Most likely, they only want to make money.”

July is all about making money, probably because she doesn’t have her own ideals and path, right?

She has been insisting on studying and developed the habit of reading books.

But deep down she was lonely and lonely.

No amount of reading can hide the fact that she has no friends and is unpopular.

"I do know that my personality is very awkward. I don't really like being alone, but I don't want to take the initiative to change myself and cater to everyone's atmosphere and make friends together. In the end, I will always be hiding in a corner reading a book alone."

"No way. July is very good in nature."

"But this doesn't erase the fact that my personality is awkward, right?"

Nanami Nanami turned Sakakibara Raku's body so that he was facing her belly, and continued to help him pick out his other ear.

"So I'm very grateful to meet you, a guy with such an awkward personality. How can someone be so lacking in love that he always wants to love others? In reality, people like you are stupid, stupid, and... It’s very easy to be taken advantage of, but for me, he is the only person who can bypass my awkward personality and love me.”

Being treated so tenderly and praised by Qi Qi made her heart feel warm.

"Are these words sincere?"

"Surprised? That's right. I have never said these words to my sister."

"Then what do you say to me?"

"Didn't I just say that? My brother is the one who loves me. And I will give trust and more love to people who can love me. The grandma that my brother just mentioned, I think, if we change our identities, In the past, I would be like that grandma, choosing to always keep the place of another person in my heart. No matter what happened to the other person, whether they were injured, poor, or unloved, they could come and find me. A cup of hot milk, a shout of support, a hug. Whatever you want, you can give it to him."

As Amami Nanamigetsu spoke, Sakakihara Raku felt her hair being gently stroked.

"Of course, I only give this kind of thing to you."

Gentle words. Gentle actions.

Clinging tightly to her warm and soft thigh, it was like swimming into a lullaby.

Apart from comfort, the only thing left is peace of mind.

This is probably the feeling of being coaxed by the other person when you are acting coquettishly.

This feeling reminded him of when he was very young in his previous life, when he cried loudly on the street because of his mother's temporary departure.

I was still young at that time, and my mother was always the only figure in my life and memory.

He didn't quite remember whether his mother was kind to him at the beginning. He only knew that her mother would still take care of him and give him food. When his mother disappeared, he would cry loudly, hoping that her mother would come back and find him.

I don’t know how many years have you experienced this emotion of crying loudly because your mother left?

Now this feeling is naturally gone.

This is probably because I no longer have the sense of security that I had when I was young, relying on others, right?

In the past, my mother had often neglected me because of the unfortunate marriage caused by the discovery of her blood relationship.

Sakakihara Raku was already disheartened.

Now, I can find similar warmth and peace of mind in July.

I think she loves me so much.

I think she's really nice.

He also couldn't bear to let her leave his side.

His hands subconsciously hugged the girl's waist and buried his face in her belly.

After Tianhai Qimingyue saw him like this, she gently stroked his head and said, "He is really a little kid."

"July."

"Um?"

"Suddenly I feel so reluctant to leave you."

"What's wrong, aren't I right next to you?"

Sakakibara didn't speak, but hugged her tighter, trying his best to feel the fragrance of her body and her warm body temperature.

After seeing his appearance, Tianhai Qimingyue became gentler and said:

"Getting ready for the New Year."

"Um"
