Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"You are really superstitious, stinky brother."

"It's okay. It's not like someone has become a miko."

Oreki Sakura rolled her eyes.

There was a brief peace and silence at the dinner table, but this silence was not harmony. Rather, it was because everyone had their own thoughts.

Oreki Sakura didn't know what her brother was thinking. He seemed to be eating breakfast calmly, occasionally glancing at his phone. He didn't know who sent him a message so early.

The girl was in a state of confusion anyway.

I wondered why this boy was so calm, as if nothing had happened last night.

Although I was a little confused and took advantage of the night to let my emotions run wild, do you know how much courage it takes for a girl to say something like that?

How come this bastard doesn't seem to care at all...so weird.

So sad.

It feels like ants are crawling.

"Have you finished eating?"

"Ah? I'm done eating..."

I was thinking while eating and didn’t realize that I had actually finished eating.

"Then I'll take it. Get ready and go out."

Watching the young man stand up as if nothing had happened.

Oreki Sakura finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"That...brother."

"what happened?"

Oreki Xian looked at the other person strangely.

Oreki Sakura's cheeks turned red and she spoke nervously.

"Um...what happened last night, actually I..."

"It's okay, no need to explain anything. Just pretend it never happened."

"what?"

After saying this, Oreki Gen carried the plate and walked towards the sink. Only Oreki Sakura blinked blankly.

Pretend it never happened?

Although it seems that I won't be embarrassed this way, but... is it embarrassing? Wouldn't it be a waste of my courage and unprecedented boldness?

So the girl stood up quickly, rushed behind Oreki Ken who was washing dishes, and said angrily as if she was looking for trouble.

"Who wants to pretend it never happened?"

"Oh."

Oreki Gen replied calmly.

The girl became even angrier and stomped her feet.

"Did you hear what I said last night?"

"Ah."

"What I said is, I like you, not the way a sister likes her brother, but the way a girl likes a boy!"

"I got it."

Oreki wiped his clean hands.

Then they turned around and looked at each other, but there was no joy or tension, just a sense of quietness and peace.

Oreki Sakura was stunned for a moment, she looked at the other person.

"that's all?"

"Otherwise, do you want me to reject you again?"

Oreki Gen said with amusement.

Oreki Sakura pouted.

"Why do you reject me..."

Both arrogant and a little aggrieved.

Oreki Gen couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair.

"Okay, don't think about it. Just prepare for the competition. When you're done, you can use these things to torture me."

"How can you call it torture? Do you know that many people in school have confessed their love to me?"

Oreki Gen thought about it for a moment.

"What's this? If I heard correctly, someone just confessed to me. Is this a rare thing?"

“You…! Damn it!!”

Oreki smiled and then let go of his hand.

"Did you hear me? Just focus on preparing for the game and we can talk about other things later."

Watching the other person leave her, Oreki Sakura thought for a moment.

talk about it later?

Does it mean there is still a chance?

He doesn't seem that determined.

This was something that Oreki Ken figured out after thinking about it all night. It wasn't that he convinced himself, but that he couldn't affect his opponent's games in the next three days, just like parents would choose to tell their children that they are planning to divorce after the college entrance examination.

A helpless relaxation.

After the other party was dressed, Oreki Gen and the girl left the room together.

I just didn't think about it when I went out.

“Oreki-kun, oh haha… Hey, who is this?”

Kikyo Satomi seemed very surprised as she looked at the girl who appeared next to Oreki Gen.

Her eyes seemed just curious, but she was very familiar with this gentle and charming woman. The alertness that flashed across her eyes made it obvious that when she saw her and the other party coming out of the room early in the morning, she must have imagined all kinds of scenes in her mind.

Oreki Gen took the initiative to speak before Oreki Sakura could react.

"Oh, Sister Kikyo, this is my sister Oreki Sakura. She has been staying with me because she is competing in the past few days. Sakura, this is my neighbor sister Kikyo Satomi who has always taken good care of me. She is a very gentle and kind woman."

Well, be kind to others.

To myself... kill first and then hide the body.

After hearing Oreki Gen's introduction, Kikyo Satomi widened her eyes slightly, walked up immediately, and held Oreki Sakura's hand affectionately.

"It's Sakura. Your brother always mentions you whenever he has something to do."

“Eh...really?” Oreki Sakura was a little frightened by such enthusiasm.

"Of course. He keeps talking about how beautiful, smart and outstanding his sister is. She is indeed very beautiful. You two siblings have excellent genes. I really want to meet your parents if I have the chance..."

Do you mean you want to get to know her properly?

No... When did I always mention my sister to Kikyo Rimi? I only mentioned her a few times.

But I also understand that this is just a polite social remark, and also a trick to quickly build closer relationships. As for why he wanted to build closer relationships with Oreki Sakura, whom he met for the first time... It's obvious, no, it's like he turned the map of Yan State upside down.

"Is this so..."

Oreki Sakura glanced at Oreki Gen with a hint of complacency.

what the hell.

So he likes me so much? Is it possible that this stupid brother of mine really likes me, but he hasn't realized that it's not just the brother who likes his sister?

"Of course, you don't know yet, your brother..."

Seeing that Kikyo Rimi was going to take advantage of the situation and continue to talk nonsense, Oreki Gen had no choice but to interrupt her.

"Um... Sister Kikyo, we have to send her to the competition venue now. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it when you come back."

"Is that so? Okay, be sure to bring your sister to my house for dinner~"

"I will definitely do it when I have time. I will definitely do it when I have time."

Oreki Xian pulled the girl and disappeared from Kikyo Rimi's sight.

It disappeared so quickly.

As Kikyo Rimi watched the two siblings hurriedly leave, the kind smile on her face gradually disappeared, as if the sunlight falling on her flawless face could not bring back any light.

"Brother and sister...Interesting."

"How come all your neighbors are so pretty?"

Oreki Sakura has broadened her horizons.

My goodness, there is not a single ugly woman who has any relationship with this hateful brother of mine.

It's even impossible to say it's ordinary.

Sakuraba Mitsuki is a rich girl with noble background and outstanding temperament.

Asagiri Ryou has a unique style and her face is definitely that of a top-level T0 academic girl.

And there is Kikyo Satomi, whose figure is so exaggerated. Her curvy figure seems to be modest, especially the image of a gentle and kind mature woman... She is simply the type of big sister that men cannot refuse.

She didn't want Oreki Genji to have a bad time in Sakura City.

But this is a bit too good! !

Oreki Xian smiled awkwardly.

"Um, I told you, the relationships around me are more complicated than you think."

"Then this woman wouldn't..."

"Hey, hey, the bus is here, hurry up, don't be so slow! Get on the bus and get off at the Stadium stop, okay?"

"I know... Hey, you haven't answered me yet!!"

Oreki Sakura was quickly put into the car by the boy.

Wow, watching the bus gradually go away, Oreki Gen can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Good man, now I know what it means to be in a difficult situation.

It's really difficult to take a step.

Can I still stay here to enjoy the cherry blossoms? Why don't I go work in a factory in Guangzhou?

Wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Damn it, this weather makes me sweat profusely.

He felt scared at the thought that the girl would have to stay for another week...or maybe longer.

As a result, this seemingly sunny and cheerful boy did not smile all the way to school, and his whole appearance seemed gloomy.

Until I arrived at school.

The boy who was changing shoes in the shoe cabinet suddenly felt pain in his ear.

This time, he wasn't patted on the shoulder, but grabbed the ear.

When I turned around, I saw the familiar, smiling, yet extremely dangerous and terrifying face of Sakuraba Mitsuki.

"You picked up your sister and you didn't even reply to my message, right?"

"I...will go back. Let go first? There are so many people watching. Hiss..."

"I sent you a message yesterday afternoon, but you didn't reply until this morning. Who do you think I am? I'm really giving you a hard time, Oreki Gen, come here."

“It hurts, it hurts...! Slow down, slow down...”
