Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Whose general is this?

Why make it so pretty?

This must be makeup, right? A deliberate fake natural makeup? It's definitely not real!

How can someone be so beautiful without makeup!

What kind of monsters are around my brother? !

Even Oreki Sakura couldn't help but sigh in a friendly way when she saw it for the first time...

"I'm super..."

9: Can you come in and sleep?

"I'm super...?"

Oreki Xian turned his head away.

Asagiri Ran also turned her head.

"Did she just say something bad?"

Oreki Gen touched his temple.

Then he looked at the girl next to him who immediately covered her mouth with her hands and blushed.

"This is my classmate, and a genius who can always get first place in our grade in any exam, Ms. Asagiri Sakura. This is my sister Oreki Sakura."

Oreki Sakura's face suddenly became hot.

"Um... sorry, I just thought of something weird and it wasn't directed at you, sorry."

The first thing she did was to apologize politely. After all, she was the one who lost her composure first. Although she was pretty, she was a girl from the countryside after all, and she was not that arrogant and domineering.

Asagiri Ran was a little surprised by the other party's politeness.

Then he glanced at Oreki Xian.

"Did you really bring your sister here?"

Asagiri Ryou knew that Oreki Gen's sister was coming over, and she thought that what she meant was that she would not come over to cook for her in the next few days.

But I didn’t expect that he would bring it here to eat together?

What is this occasion?

Why do I feel... a little inexplicably nervous and shy?

It's just like...

It was like meeting my sister-in-law or something... No! Why did I think of that? !

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Didn't I tell you? We can cook together."

"You cooked the meal here?"

"No, is this how you entertain guests? Do you know what the temperature is now?"

"...Come in."

Originally, if it was only Oreki Gen, Asagiri Sum could have stood at the door and confronted the boy for more than half an hour without even a tremor.

But there is no way, the other person's sister is here.

I suddenly felt restrained and inexplicably nervous, and even began to worry about whether my behavior just now seemed a bit impolite...

"Sorry to bother you, Sister Asagiri."

Maybe it was because of her temperament, or maybe it was because of where she lived, but Oreki Sakura instinctively had some feelings for this girl.

how to say.

At least she is not like that girl Sakuraba Mitsuki, who makes people uncomfortable at first sight. She is too arrogant and is simply a walking hatred.

"Ah...you're welcome...that Oreki Sakura..."

"Just call me Sakura. That's what my friends call me, too."

Oreki Sakura said with a smile.

One of Oreki Sakura's advantages over her peers is that she is good at socializing. Not only does she not have any symptoms of social phobia, she also seems to be able to get along particularly well with others.

Anyway, in terms of personality, Oreki Gen feels that at this age, Oreki Sakura is better than himself.

Let’s go into Asagiri Sami’s apartment together.

Asagiri Ran still seemed a little unusually reserved.

"Um... there's no water at home, let me find a cup..."

"No need, my brother bought some water."

Oreki Sakura took out the water she had bought from the bag, even some for Asagiri Ryou.

Asagiri Ran was stunned and looked at the two of them.

Oreki Gen shrugged.

"I know you don't have the habit of keeping mineral water at home."

"...Why do you remember such things? Don't talk like you know me very well."

Asagiri Ran took the water that Oreki Sakura handed over to her somewhat unnaturally.

Oreki Sakura, who heard the conversation between the two, immediately realized something. She turned her head away and her tone became abnormal.

"You two are so familiar with each other?"

Oreki Gen said with a smile, as if he didn't hear anything strange in the other person's words.

"It's okay. She's a member of a club, and she recently lost a bet, so I'll have to cook for her for a month straight."

"A month?!"

Oreki Sakura almost slammed the table and stood up.

He held down his thighs to prevent himself from standing up, but his voice still seemed a little out of control.

Oreki Gen nodded.

"Yes."

Asagiri Ran felt her cheeks getting a little hot.

"It's just cooking... He wanted to gamble like this himself."

It seems like he is distancing himself from the relationship, but not completely.

Although Oreki Sakura felt that this girl was much more comfortable than Sakuraba Mitsuki, but...she couldn't become her sister-in-law!

She became my sister-in-law, what should I do? !

One month!

A boy of similar age cooks for a girl, a beautiful girl with unique temperament, for a month!

Pigs can have feelings!

Is it too late for me to tell my parents that I won’t be back for a month?

Half a month is also good!

"No... that's it, you... um, Sister Asagiri, he has a girlfriend, you know that, right?"

Oreki Sakura had no choice but to say this, as it seemed to be the only solution left in her mind.

Originally, he didn't want to admit that Sakuraba Mizuki was his brother's girlfriend, but now it seemed that apart from this woman's identity, it was useless to say anything else, and it would not prevent anything.

This sentence made Asagiri Ran's eyes pause for a moment, and then at a speed visible to Oreki Gen's naked eyes, her eyes cooled down, and even the shyness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

She nodded calmly.

"Yeah, I know, it's just cooking, nothing else."

"But..."

"Is this what you talk about when you come to someone's house?"

Oreki Gen stood up and interrupted this somewhat awkward topic.

Oreki Sakura looked at Asagiri Ran's obviously changing expression. She felt that something was fishy going on, but she couldn't tell what was so strange about it... Was it this expression? After hearing the news... she seemed to have known it for a long time, but she didn't seem to be completely disappointed. She just cooled down.

Why is this girl so weird?

No, the girls around my brother seem to be quite weird.

"Sorry... I was just saying it casually, maybe I made a fuss out of it."

Oreki Sakura apologized sincerely.

I also felt a little regretful. It seemed that I shouldn't have been a guest in someone's home. I was a little anxious and made the atmosphere so awkward. This girl didn't look like a bad woman like Sakuraba Mizuki.

"Okay, I'm going to go cook. You guys can chat, just don't talk about weird things."

Oreki Gen took a look at his sister.

Oreki Sakura glared back unwillingly.

Wait until Oreki Gen leaves the living room and go there to wash vegetables, cook and prepare ingredients.

The two girls became awkward here.

Oreki Sakura didn't know how to resolve the atmosphere just now. Asagiri Ran seemed to be thinking about other things, and her temperament suddenly became a little indifferent, even alienated and out of place.

It was as if the whole world, including this apartment, had nothing to do with her.

That kind of keep-away aura was even more terrifying than Sakuraba Mitsuki's domineering attitude.

Just when Oreki Sakura was having trouble thinking about what to say.

"I heard Sakura is here to participate in the swimming competition?"

Asagiri Ran spoke.

She looked at Oreki Sakura calmly, without any tension, and certainly without that kind of weakness that made her easy to get along with.

Oreki Sakura nodded.

"yes..."

"Congratulations in advance on your good results."

He also spoke very politely.

Oreki Sakura smiled bitterly and nodded: "Thank you, Sister Asagiri..."

Why are the girls around this stinky brother so weird?

"How is your relationship with your brother?"

She suddenly asked the question.

Oreki Sakura was a little confused. Logically, if she was interested in Oreki Gen, shouldn't she ask about him, such as what he looked like when he was a child? Why would she ask such a strange question? Did she really misunderstand?

Is there really such a pure relationship between men and women in the world?

She thought about it before answering.

"Well... we've been fine since we were little, and we've never had any arguments."

"Really? Is there anyone in this world who can resist arguing with him?"

"Eh? Does this mean...you guys often quarrel?"

"It's not really a quarrel, but he can be really annoying sometimes, don't you think?"

"Of course I feel that way! He's so annoying sometimes! He doesn't act like a brother at all!"

"That's what I was saying. Has he been so annoying since he was a kid?"
