life in the world

He was thick-skinned, completely ignoring the words of refusal he swore to utter in the morning, and the speed of changing his face was quite rare.

"Aren't you either?"

Ayaka snorted softly on the microphone at the bottom of the phone, and Harutaki couldn't help but see the scene of a pink-haired girl with her hands folded in front of her chest and her chin triumphantly raised in Harutaki's mind.

"'As a brother, there is no one who asks for money from his sister.'" She repeated, imitating Xingchuan Chuntaki's tone when she went out in the morning, "Hey... who said that, I don't have a good memory. , can you please help me recall, idiot brother?"

"hiss……"

"What? Are you angry?"

Angry is not enough, it should be said that Chun Taki was not only not angry, but was also so cute by the series of words from his sister——

Yin and Yang strange?That's it?

Compared with the ones he had seen on the Internet in his previous life, it was undoubtedly a kitten meeting a big cat.

"You call me stupid brother, how can my memory be better than yours?" he said.

"I don't know which fool would say such a thing. What's the big deal about borrowing money from my brother and sister, right Xuanxia?"

Chapter 6--Purchasing (for collection)

"..."

Brother's shameless retaliation made Ayaka Hoshikawa completely silent.

She couldn't understand how the obsequious, wretched and dark brother who didn't even dare to look at her in the past became so eloquent that she didn't feel like she was talking to her brother at all when she chatted with Haru Taki dialogue--

The flirting between male and female friends is nothing more than that, right?

Thinking of those girls' comics that are very popular among classmates, Xuanxia, ​​who was hiding in the corner of the school building secretly holding her mobile phone, couldn't help covering her hot face.

"With such a thick skin, are you going to participate in the election of the House of Representatives and run for a member?"

"Ahem, I just don't think it's okay for me to live like I used to, so I can't live like I used to."

Ayaka Hoshikawa:?

It's not okay to go on as before... so can't you go on like before?

The girl wandered in her head for a long time, and finally she barely understood what Harutaki Xingchuan was talking about.

She said weakly, "I'll just lend you money..."

"The standing cabinet in the corner of the dining room, the black leather notebook in the first drawer contains 20 yen--" Xuanxia paused for a moment, and then her momentum rose again, and she warned without any explanation: "This is for loan Chun Taki, if you dare to spend your money for rebirth in other ways, I will... I will..."

"I'll burn all those things of yours! Sister-in-law pervert!"

"Don't underestimate Big Brother's determination to start a new life and fall in love with a high school girl."

Without Ayaka's action, Hoshikawa Harutaki had the idea to deal with the pile of things left by former Harutaki not long after he realized that he was short of money.

If you don’t enjoy a lot of youth, and if you don’t pursue girls who are cuter and more beautiful than game heroines, do you want to waste time and money on the virtual sister-in-law Galgame?

He's not a fool who can't tell the difference.

"Love, love!?"

Although the focus of Harutaki's tone just now was on the matter of being a new person, but for some reason, Ayaka's attention was completely biased towards the second half of the sentence.

Falling in love...or with a high school girl!

Xingchuan Xuanxia thought of it for no reason. When her older brother Chun Taki read a light novel titled "The Tsundere and Poisonous Sister Falls in Love with the Trash Otaku Me" to herself, she yelled excitedly: "Sister is really the best!" Yes! If true love has a color, it must be Kirina's pink!"

He even pointed to the heroine on the cover who also had cherry-pink long hair like him, and complained subconsciously: "Why can't you be like Kirina, Ayaka? It's such a pity."

"Sister-in-law! A sewer bug whose head is filled with yellow waste! A kelp head that has been soaked in seawater until its brain has been corroded!"

Like a Phalanx near-defense gun filled with depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, the sharp words penetrated the microphone one after another, hitting Harutaki Xingchuan one after another——

Fortunately, he is not alone with the former Harutaki. If the original owner heard this series of scolding by Xuanxia, ​​he would probably be overwhelmed or even Yuyu.

However, even though Harutaki had no intuitive experience with these words, Ayaka's aggressiveness really made him gasp.

It seems that former Harutaki left a really bad impression on his sisters...

Hearing the busy tone of "beep-beep-beep" coming from the receiver, he sighed, put away his phone speechlessly, and went to the restaurant to get money according to Xuanxia's instructions.

The eldest daughter Xingchuan Xuanxia undoubtedly has extremely high femininity, even if her parents are away from work for a long time, she still manages the entire Xingchuan family very well.Thanks to this, Harutaki found Banban's black leather notebook lying in the drawer without much effort.

In addition to the thick stack of [-]-yen banknotes in the notebook, he also noticed lines of elegant handwriting on the paper, which were neatly written expenditure records with a black gel pen and a red pen.

Seeing this, Xingchuan Harutaki has no doubts at all, it can be said that this family is completely supported by Yanxia alone.

From the memories he read in the past two days, he also knew the characters and characteristics of the other two younger sisters——

Although Qianqiu is obedient and sensible, it is limited to obedience.She has a somewhat stuffy personality, unless there is really some unsolvable trouble, she spends most of the time squatting in the room alone.

It can be said that apart from the three points of clean dress, normal work and rest, and excellent grades, Xingchuan Qianqiu is also an introverted nerd just like his elder brother.

As for the third sister Hoshikawa Fuyuno...

Harutaki believes that if one word is used to describe the other party, then there is absolutely no more appropriate word than "little devil".

If you only look at Fukino's elementary school student-like figure, and ignore her age when she is about to enter high school, perhaps "female devil" can also compete with "little devil" in pronoun status.

Apart from pranks or pranks, there is no need to expect Fuyuto to help with any housework.

Because the shopping list is too long, one person can't get it all at once, and if you spend all the money at one time, you will really worry about your family's finances for this month.So Hoshikawa Harutaki only took [-] yen, and was going to buy some necessities first, and save the rest for the next weekend or after school.

However, although the school does not have such a strange rule that "students must wear uniforms after school", he still wears the uniform of Hitani High School when he goes out.

This is not to say how much he likes this uniform, but that the clothes in the original owner's wardrobe can't be worn out at all——

Forgive him, he will never go out wearing a white T-shirt with "Sister is the best!" printed on the chest, or a white-patterned blue shirt with casual pants and sneakers. "A house" written on the face combination set.

The biggest headache is those messy anime peripheral clothes, it is even better to wear a pair of jeans with a flannel check shirt tucked into the pants, and finally tie a bandana...

Looking at it this way, the only clothes he can wear to go out are the uniform of Hitani High School.

At 4:13 in the evening, take the Namboku Line and transfer to the Hanzomon Line. After getting off at Shibuya Station, Hoshikawa Harutaki made an appointment for a haircut at the beauty salon through the number given by Ren Murai, while standing at the famous intersection waiting for the traffic lights.

The skyscrapers are close together, looking up, above the flashing neon signs and the huge screen, is the orange-red dusk limited by the concrete jungle.But compared to this experience of sitting in a well and looking at the sky, he doesn't like looking down. The feeling of suffocation brought by the crowd like a wave can only get a little respite by looking up at the sky that is artificially divided into a straight line vacancy.

As the green light turned on, the crowd began to surge. It was not until he crossed the intersection and walked on the brick and stone sidewalk of Central Street that Chun Taki couldn't help wondering "why so many people can still walk safely".

Caught in the middle of countless people, shoulder to shoulder, he experienced this kind of thing for the first time, afraid that he would accidentally fall to the ground, and then be trampled to death.

"call……"

Relieved, Xingchuan Harutaki observed the dazzling array of large and small clothing stores on both sides of the street, while thinking about where to buy clothes.

There was an hour and a half before the appointment for a haircut, which was quite ample time.

Strolling through small shops is like going shopping with his girlfriend. Although he is buying clothes and accessories for himself, he thinks it is better to savor this kind of "torture" after he has a girlfriend.

So, Chuntaki made a quick decision and went directly to the nearest SHIBUYA109. The department store in the central area of ​​the business district is undoubtedly the best choice to quickly buy a set of outfits.

SITRY's black jacket and white shirt, plus a pair of black harem pants, cost a total of 19160 yen.

Levi's black belt, 2289 yen.

I bought two pairs of shoes, one pair of black high-top Martin boots, and the other pair is Nike’s AIR FORCE1, which I usually wear for school and sports. It is classic, versatile and fashionable. The total cost is 31200 yen.

In addition to the main clothes, there are also two strings of silver metal necklaces, which are very cheap because they are not real silver.

After leaving the shopping mall with the packed paper bag, Harutaki Xingchuan went to Muji in the east again and ordered a set of bedding, underwear, pajamas and casual clothes for home, facial cleanser, body wash and shampoo, etc. Supplies, along with the uniforms that had been replaced before, were entrusted to the clerk to pack and deliver to the home.

In the end, when he came out from Azabu Juban after cutting his hair, only two 100-yen coins were left out of the [-] yen he had brought with him.

This is the expense after he went to Muji to carefully select and save a lot of money.

"You have to find a part-time job that doesn't affect your study and rest..."

Having been taught a lesson by the prices, Harutaki opened the door with a key while muttering.

Chapter 7--The Unfamiliar Brother (Please collect and vote!)

"I am back."

"welcome--"

The energetic voice stopped abruptly, and the girl whose head had just reached Harutaki's chest widened her cherry-colored eyes.Even though she still maintained the shape of her mouth, she couldn't utter a single word, and she didn't even have time to care about the pale golden hair sticking to the corner of her mouth.

"Sister Xuanxia! Something is wrong! You left the door open when you came home, and a handsome guy who looks like a debut idol broke in!"

The girl who looked like a primary school student put a pair of small hands around her mouth in the shape of a trumpet, turned her head and shouted loudly into the room.

Seeing that the most mischievous third sister, Toyono, didn't recognize him, Xingchuan Harutaki also thought of a little mischief:

"That... first meeting, hello. You are Ayaka's younger sister, Toyono, right? I've heard her say it many times. I'm Ayaka's boyfriend. I made an appointment to..."

"Hey! Male...boyfriend?"

Hearing the sudden big news, Fumino Sakura's big pink eyes rolled around, and then shouted into the room again:

"Sister Xuanxia, ​​where did you secretly find a handsome boyfriend!? Have you kissed him? Have you ever done it! Are you here to stay overnight at home tonight! You need me and Qianqiu to hide—"

Before the words were finished, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, Harutaki Hoshikawa and Fuyuno appeared in the field of vision of Ayaka with a kitchen knife in his hand and an unkind expression on his face.

"...Ahaha, I didn't say anything."

Fuyuno's shouting stopped abruptly, he scratched his hair in embarrassment, and retreated to the back of the shoe cabinet with interest.She sticks out her small head, looking back and forth at the "handsome stranger who is suspected to be her sister's boyfriend" and her sister Xuan Xia. Her short hair with a one-sided ponytail is like a pale golden winter jasmine flower caressed by the breeze, and she can't stop following her movements. swaying.

Ayaka Hoshikawa tightly held the handle of the knife in one hand, and was holding the mobile phone in the other hand to dial a number. Her cherry pink shawl and long hair were tied into a single ponytail suitable for housework. A pair of big water-colored eyes stared at Harutaki as if she was devouring someone, while being aggressive warned:

"Who has anything to do with a DQN like you who broke into someone's house suddenly! If you don't go out again, I will call the police."

After all, facing the handsome boy who hadn't the slightest intention of leaving, she said sharply as if to strengthen her courage:

"Dad and Mom will be back soon, and my brother is upstairs too. He's a bad high school student and he's good at beating."

"I said, don't you all know me?"

Seeing the dangerous appearance of his sister holding a knife, Xingchuan Chuntaki hurriedly put down the cake he bought on the way back, pointed to his face that was almost a level fairer and asked.

This is the effect of the whitening, moisturizing and oil-removing special package that he spent 5000 yen to experience after having his hair cut in the beauty salon.

"The voice seems familiar."

The youngest sister, Fuyuno pouted, carefully looked at the completely new Hoshikawa Harutaki from head to toe.

"Hey, I, Hoshikawa Harutaki. Can't you even recognize your own brother? And when did I add another bad high school student who can fight?"

Harutaki spread his hands helplessly and complained.

"Stupid, idiot brother...?"

After Xingchuan Xuanxia repeatedly confirmed his appearance, hair color, and voice, her pink and tender face suddenly flushed red, and she couldn't stop murmuring in a low voice.

"How, how could it be..."

Goo... so handsome...

He is obviously a greasy, sloppy, dark and wretched perverted girl-controlled rice bug otaku, how could it be possible...

"Fufu, if my brother can keep it like this, even if you want to borrow the underwear that Dong Nao just took off, it's not impossible."

While twisting the hem of the uniform short skirt and slowly pulling it up, Fuyuno suggested with a smirk:

"While Xuanxia is taking a bath, it's not wrong to help my brother take the baby in the laundry basket—"

"Boom."

"It hurts!"

Under Ayaka's iron fist, was Fuyuno who squatted on the ground hugging his head.

The hem of the skirt that fell back to the knee also shattered the vague expectation in Chuntaki's heart.

"Sure enough, my brother can be very popular as long as he dresses up. Obviously, the photos of him when he was a child look cute..."

The second younger sister Xingchuan Qianqiu's face was flushed abnormally, and she was a little excited and excited for some reason.

Although Ayaka Hoshikawa was extremely unbelievable about Harutaki's change, but after her younger sister Chiaki who "knows her best" spoke up, she had to admit that her eldest brother has indeed turned into a swan from an ugly duckling.

"You...you can change your shoes and come in first, the meal has just been cooked, it's better to eat it while it's hot..."

She faltered and pointed to the room, and at the same time, she put the hand holding the fruit knife behind her back without any trace.

If Harutaki is like this, there won't be an empty seat at the next parent-teacher meeting at school...?
