The Wonderful Daily Life of Nogizaka

As the only younger brother of the Hashimoto family, Hashimoto Kenta's return undoubtedly greatly eased the atmosphere at this time.

Hashimoto Nana didn't say anything more about going back upstairs, but sat quietly at the dining table, lowering her head and turning the spoon in the bowl.

Hashimoto's mother also stopped asking. Judging from the reaction just now, she has determined that the person named Baiyun-san is closely related to the reason why her daughter reacted so strangely.

If you continue to ask, you won't get anything out of it. Instead, it will increase unnecessary distance——

Sighing softly in her heart, Hashimoto's mother took the initiative to stand up from her chair, came to the door, took over the ingredients her youngest son bought from the market, and ordered: "What are you still standing here for? I'll go cook some porridge for your sister first.

, you are hungry, just go and eat something first——"

"oh."

Hashimoto Kenta nodded his head in confusion, and then scratched his head. He always felt as if he had broken something because of his return. The mother who just walked in front of him had a look of relief on his face.

However, he has understood one truth since he was a child - even though he is not very old now - that is, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. In his past memory, he can't remember how many times he was scolded by his sister for talking too much.

She couldn't beat her again and again. If she thought about it, sometimes even a certain salted fish wouldn't be her opponent. As a true younger brother, Hashimoto Kenta couldn't possibly be her sister's opponent——

So he came to the dining table and sat down obediently. As soon as he sat down, Hashimoto Kenta noticed that his sister next to him glanced at her slightly, and he shrank his neck.

But I immediately changed my mind and thought, I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be afraid? So I raised my head and raised my chest, and looked back at him without hesitation.

The stalemate lasted for two or three seconds. The first person who couldn't help it was Hashimoto Nanami. She burst out laughing. After thinking for a moment, she randomly found a topic and said, "Why are you staring at me like this? How about it?"

Kenta, have your grades in school improved this year?"

"Well, just like that-"

Kenta Hashimoto said perfunctorily.

"How about that? Good or bad?" Nana Hashimoto was not satisfied and frowned slightly.

"Okay, of course it's done!"

Sensing that his sister's gaze on him was becoming sharper, Hashimoto Kenta almost jumped out of his chair as if out of reflex, and quickly replied loudly: "It's not like you don't know, my grades have always been very good in school.

It’s among the best, so there’s no need to worry about this at all—”

After saying these words, I noticed that the sharp gaze gradually calmed down, and then I slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

So he struck while the iron was hot and quickly added: "And everyone in our school knows that I have an older sister who has been very good at studying since she was a child. As the younger brother of Hashimoto Nanami, how could she disgrace her sister?"

Although the flattery was a bit rough, he was his biological brother after all, so a certain Hokkaido girl seemed to be very helpful.

However, at this moment, a word suddenly floated out from the kitchen.

"Don't listen to Kenta's nonsense. He's not that obedient. He just got into a fight at school not long ago~"

"What? You actually got into a fight with someone at school? You're a bad student—"

Hashimoto Nana frowned immediately and glanced over.

"Ah, no, no, that's not the case, I have a reason..."

Hashimoto Kenta almost bit his tongue and hurriedly began to explain. In his heart, he was quite speechless at his sister's reaction.

After all, who doesn’t know that when you were in school, you gave a boy a slap on the spot because he didn’t want to clean?

Why is it that when I get here, the reaction is so big...

Fortunately, the kind words he just said had some effect. In addition, Hashimoto Nanami also misses her brother who is four or five years younger than her since she hasn't been back for so long, so it seems that he is sincere in his explanation.

For the sake of it, I didn’t care about anything anymore and just opened it gently.

"That's it, it won't happen again-"

Kenta Hashimoto breathed a sigh of relief in an instant. He didn't expect that in just a few minutes, he would be jumping back and forth between heaven and hell. Even though it was winter and the weather was cold, he still couldn't help but feel the pain on his back.

A thick layer of cold sweat broke out.

There is no way, Youdao is still powerful after death, not to mention the sister who grew up with him but never took advantage of him? After all, psychological shadow does not grow in a day -

After sitting like this in fear for a few minutes, he felt that the air gradually became silent, as if the previous sense of crisis was about to come back at any time. In order to ease the atmosphere, Hashimoto Kenta thought hard and said: "That's right.

,Sister, after you come back from this annual vacation, how long will it take before you go back to Tokyo?"

"..."

Hashimoto Nana's body suddenly paused, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, but she concealed it well. She just raised her head, glanced at him lightly, and said, "Why do you ask this?"

"No, it's nothing-"

Feeling that his sister's glance just now seemed to carry some kind of terrible crisis, Hashimoto Kenta shrank his neck again and shook his head vigorously.

Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Hashimoto Nanami certainly had no intention of continuing to ask, and continued to drink the remaining hot soup with her head down. The sentence just now was not a question in itself, but a warning. For the sister of the Hashimoto family,

Brother, both parties are very clear. What do you mean by asking this... In fact, it is something you shouldn't ask, don't ask——

Well, this is the truth hammered into Kenta Hashimoto’s mind since he was a child...

However, unexpectedly, for some reason or another, Hashimoto Kenta, who had already given in, was silent for a while, then he gritted his teeth and cautiously tried: "But...

After the New Year, sister, you still have to go back, right?"

"..."

Hashimoto Nana did not speak.

Hashimoto Kenta seemed to be inspired and continued to talk to himself: "After all, sister, you are still an idol. If you are an idol, it is said that there will be a very busy period after the New Year, and you will definitely have to record again by then.

Programs, what activities are you participating in?

Oh... Oh, by the way, your anniversary live is about to start, right? It seems to be in February, and this is the first anniversary live. It’s very meaningful. There are also a few Nogizaka46 fans in our school, and they have all been there recently.

We are discussing this..."

"Enough!"

Hashimoto Nana suddenly interrupted. The more she listened to these things related to herself, the more she felt that there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, and she felt panicked inside.

But I couldn't find a solution. I could only instinctively ignore these sounds like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

"Sister, sister..."

Hashimoto Kenta looked at his sister in confusion. He rarely saw her sister react like this. Even when he made her angry when he was a child, he never looked like this. At this moment, he was caught off guard and could only

He explained in a flustered voice: "Yes, I'm sorry, sister, I'm just because -"

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again by the girl.

"Who told you this?"

Hashimoto Nana took a deep breath, quickly calmed down, and looked at her younger brother.

Apart from occasionally mentioning some of these things in front of my mother, I have never disclosed anything else. If it were in Tokyo, it might be possible to explain it. After all, the formula programs and related news are spread more widely there.

But this is Hokkaido, and these things, or things about Nogizaka46, cannot be spread so clearly.

Even if he specifically searched the Internet because of his relationship, it is impossible to know information other than the published news, because these can only be learned from a professional in this circle.

The content that came was completely unlike what my teenage brother could say——

Hashimoto Kenta opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he looked hesitant and could not speak for a moment.

But at this moment, a voice answered the girl's question for him.

"It's me."

The two of them looked around and saw a familiar figure quietly standing there at the entrance.

Hashimoto Nana's eyes widened immediately.
