It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

"I'll go upstairs now~"

As Iura Hide spoke, he first rushed over and picked up the fruit plate on the coffee table. Then, before his mother, who had heard the noise in the kitchen, could peek out, he hurried upstairs to Motoko's room.

"Wow--"

"Kiko-chan~~ Your handsome old man is back~~~"

Would you like some fruit?

A voice as energetic as a husky that has been cooped up at home all day and is finally able to run around freely, accompanied by the sound of the old tatami room door being suddenly pulled open, suddenly rang out from behind, startling Kiko.

The solution I had finally come up with for this math problem vanished in shock.

"Uncle!?"

"Crack——!"

The sound of a pencil snapping in two rang out.

Perhaps because she exerted too much force, Kiko's entire body began to tremble, perfectly illustrating what it means to be shivering and cold!

"go to hell!"

Motoko Iura suddenly turned around, threw the pencil broken in two at Hide Iura, and then froze after throwing it.

Meanwhile, Iura Hide had already sensed the chilling killing intent emanating from Kiko when the sound of the pencil breaking rang out, and was prepared.

Although the two pencils flew at a considerable speed, they were no challenge for him to dodge, as he had already mastered the Natural Mind Style to the point of being able to pass it on without permission.

Sidestep, slide step!

At this moment, Hideaki Iura is much more agile than a genuine husky.

Without even disturbing the position of the sliced ​​apples on the fruit plate in his hand, Iura Hide easily dodged the hidden weapon shot by his sister.

"Hey, I specially brought fruit to see you!" Iura Hide complained unhappily.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zi snapped out of her daze, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she clenched her fists fiercely, glaring at him and saying, "Then why didn't you knock first?"

Iura Hide was taken aback, then scratched himself sheepishly.

"Sorry, sorry, I just forgot~"

More accurately, it should be said that the body has gotten used to it.

"And every time you go to my room, don't you deliberately not knock?"

"Can that be the same!"

But she is a girl!

Motoko Iura glared at him again, puffing out her cheeks, but then couldn't help asking out of curiosity, "What's wrong with your hair?"

"Hey, isn't he handsome?"

Iura Hide approached with a grin and casually placed the fruit plate on the desk.

"I'm... I'm alright."

As Kiko looked at Iura Hide, who had suddenly become at least twice as handsome, her heart suddenly raced for no reason, and she nervously started fidgeting with her fingers.

"Is it alright? This is a month's worth of food money!"

"Huh? A month's worth of food expenses?"

A moment later, Kiko, who finally understood Iura Hide's true purpose, crossed her arms and put on a stern face.

"I knew it! Why would you be so kind as to bring me fruit?"

Upon hearing this, Iura Hide quickly replied sincerely, "No! Even if I hadn't come to borrow money, I would still have come! Actually, I've wanted to say this for a long time!"

"say what?"

What I wanted to say was—

Iura Shu glanced at the thick workbook and scratch paper next to him, as well as the textbook, which was covered with annotations and notes and had been flipped through countless times and had become crumpled. He took a deep breath and this time he really got serious.

Although it might seem irresponsible, I still want to say that you don't really need to force yourself to take the entrance exam for Higashi High School.

"If we lower the standards a little, Katagiri would be fine too!"

"Although I'll have already graduated by the time you go to high school, it's still a bit of a regret."

"But from an older brother's perspective, I still hope that you can have a happy and joyful junior high and high school life!"

Two pairs of eyes, with incredibly similar eyebrows and identical pupil color, gazed at each other silently.

Kiko's stern face softened as if frost had thawed, and then suddenly her nose stung with tears. She turned her head away and instinctively gripped the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands.

"If I... if I don't get into Donggao High School, will you think I'm stupid?" Jizi asked softly, her voice trembling.

Actually, her reason for working so hard to get into Donggao High School was quite simple.

She is introverted, has poor interpersonal skills, and has not inherited her family's kendo talent. She also has poor athletic ability. The only way she can prove that she is not useless and gain the recognition of Iura Hide is to study hard and get into a better high school than Katagiri.

After all, even if she works hard in other areas besides studying, she may not necessarily get the corresponding rewards.

A wave of emotion washed over him, and he couldn't help but reach out and pat her head before pulling the petite and frail girl into his arms.

"Idiot, how could a brother really dislike his own sister!"

"You've looked through these textbooks so many times, they're all crumpled up, and the stacks of notes are taller than me. You've spent all your allowance on all sorts of practice problems. You're really amazing!"

"I was just joking when I called you an idiot, okay? Don't you often call me an idiot and complain about me?"

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't expect to cause you such trouble."

The gentle voice transformed into a warm current, along with the warmth emanating from the palm above her head, causing the tears that Ji Zi had been holding back to burst forth like a dam breaking.

"stupid stupid stupid!"

Jizi hugged him tightly, the heavy feeling that had been weighing on her heart was washed away by her tears, and she felt lighter than ever before.

"Look, you called me an idiot again~" Iura Hide complained with a deliberately sour face.

"Because you're an idiot! A complete idiot!"

When you call me an idiot, do you really dislike me?

"of course!"

Before she could finish speaking, Ji Zi couldn't help but chuckle at the hurt expression he was deliberately putting on. Then, shyly, she buried her head in his chest again.

The steady, powerful heartbeat of Iura Shuu reached her ears, like a warm kotatsu in winter, making her want to stay inside it forever.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally adjusted to a more comfortable position, raised her head so she could see Iura Hide's eyes, and whispered, "If I told you that I only have 10,000 yen left in my allowance this month, would you be angry?"

"Ten thousand yen?!"

Hideki Iura was stunned for a moment.

There are still about twenty days left in this month, and even if you take away the weekends, there are still more than ten days left!

Ten thousand yen seems like a lot, but given the prices in Tokyo in this world, it's barely enough for lunch for these ten days!

It's understandable that Kiko, being a girl, doesn't have a big appetite.

But it was clearly impossible to lend it to him again.

"What about the rest of the money?"

"I've bought all the latest simulation exercises."

""

This expected answer instantly silenced Hideaki Iura.

This little girl is cute as she is, but she studies way too hard!

Chapter 12 The husky was exhausted

"Ohayo, Tou."

"Ohayo Show?!"

Without needing to make a special appointment, Iura Hide, who left for school on time the next morning, naturally ran into Ishikawa Toru, who was also leaving on time, and unsurprisingly gave him a fright.

"How about it, handsome, right?"

"Um"

Toru Ishikawa nodded honestly. It was undeniable that Hideki Iura, with his new hairstyle and hair color, was several levels more handsome than before.

"But why did you suddenly decide to dye your hair?" Ishikawa Toru couldn't help but ask curiously after his initial shock.

"Are you really planning to find a girlfriend?"

"Of course! If you don't date in high school, when will you? After you graduate and start working?"

Toru Ishikawa couldn't help but nod, agreeing with Hideaki Iura's point.

"Actually, Yoshikawa is quite nice, you really can—"

"Shut up, stop! There's no way Yoshikawa and I are ever together!"

"But Yoshikawa is already very cute and pretty. In our grade, besides Hori-san and Ayasaki Remi from Class 5, there aren't many girls prettier than Yoshikawa, right?"

Toru Ishikawa continued to persuade her, "Reimi Ayasaki has been dating President Sengoku since her first year of high school. As for Hori-san, you wouldn't happen to like Hori-san, would you?"

"Don't worry, I won't steal Hori-kun from you~"

Iura Shu gave him a speechless glance, then decisively changed the subject before giving him another chance to speak.

"Speaking of which, you actually used me as a wingman in PE class yesterday. Don't you owe me an explanation for that?"

"Uh, what do you want?"

"Didn't you promise me unlimited drinks for a week? How about we add a little more and make it two weeks of lunch and drinks on you? How about that?"

"Is this just a little bit?"

"I can help you invite Hori-kun to lunch together!"
