Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

"I trust men less than my sister does."

"It's so sad. I thought you believed me."

“Don’t you also not believe that I’m innocent? Stop pretending, Oreki-nii.”

"Is this considered a falling out?"

"Didn't you choose it?"

She was smiling.

Oreki nodded and looked at her.

"Can you answer my question now?"

"Of course it doesn't matter if I answer you. I'm not afraid of any means or abilities you have. It doesn't matter anyway."

After saying this, the girl crossed her arms over her chest, her hair a little messy on her face, but she had no intention of tidying it up.

It is in this mess, in this somewhat unkempt beauty.

"I...from the beginning till now...I just want her to be happy."

Oreki Gen used the power of the Eye of Truth without hesitation.

But the result is...

Green √.

She didn't lie.

Although this result satisfied Oreki Gen, it also caused him to have more doubts.

“So that’s your ability… Oreki-nii, you’re really good at lying. You’re very good at deceiving girls.”

Asagiri Aya did discover something, but it didn't matter. She had no possibility of using this ability at all because it was meaningless.

Oreki Gen looked at her with narrowed eyes, being so shameless without any shame at all.

"It's just an extra layer of insurance. After all, I've said before that it's normal for people to have doubts about each other, just like you haven't believed me all along."

"Haha, that's really interesting. But now you have the answer, right?"

Oreki Xian felt that the wind made his head less clear and even a little painful.

Fortunately, I didn’t lie, but why didn’t I lie?

He frowned.

"If this is what you want, why do you pretend, lie to her, and hide so many things from her? Do you think it's normal to gain happiness through lies?"

Asagiri Aya smiled contemptuously.

"I don't know if lying can bring happiness, but if she keeps escaping, being stubborn, and denying her feelings like she does, she will definitely not be happy. So I need to make decisions for her when she can't face it. After all, even you can't deny that I am the one who knows her best, no one else."

"...You said that you were originally twins. So you didn't have any resentment at all for not being able to be born smoothly?"

Oreki Gen asked this crucial question, which is also the most unreasonable one.

He helped Asagiri Ran with all his might, even for her own happiness.

Doesn't she feel that her fate is unfair at all?

And Asagiri Aya just responded to Oreki Gen indifferently.

“Watch less bloody ethics TV dramas, Oreki-san. When you understand the nature of this world and the ugliness of people’s hearts, you will stand in my shoes and be thankful for me... Fortunately, I am not the one living in this world.”

"That's really extreme...but it's an impeccable reason."

Oreki looked at her.

Although the other party's answers were beyond my expectations many times, they were unexpectedly true.

He couldn't find the point where it was a lie.

Perhaps this is the weirdness of the world I exist in.

Not so reasonable, but normal and real.

Really interesting.

“Oreki-nii, aren’t you going to ask me what I’m going to do next?”

Oreki Gen said with amusement.

"You won't tell me that a person who announces to the world in advance what he is going to do... Of course there are people like that, but it definitely won't be you."

"This time it's much smarter. Indeed, I won't tell you, but I can give you a small clue."

"what?"

She narrowed her eyes and stared at Oreki Genre, revealing a beautiful smile.

"I will help her and spare no effort to get you. Well, the best outcome is of course... to make you belong to me alone."

...

Old fashioned.

But I don't seem surprised at all.

"What did you...just say?"

On the way back, Chao Wu Ran asked hesitantly.

Asagiri Aya has been gone for a long time.

But her disturbing smile and those strange words remained in his mind.

Oreki Gen wanted to laugh, but he couldn't quite do it.

"Nothing, just asking how you've been these days and how you've been doing."

Asagiri Ran kicked her hands into her sleeves. It was not so easy to deceive herself now, so she put her hands into the other person's pockets.

cold.

"...that's all?"

Why didn't she let herself hear these words? How strange.

Asagiri Ran instinctively doubted that it was not that simple.

However, Oreki Gen knew what the other party was thinking.

So he smiled and said.

"Well... I just asked a little about your past, some small stories... some interesting growth stories... Don't you know?"

Asagiri Ryou's face suddenly turned slightly red.

"I... Of course I know! How can you talk about those things? Just talk about your own business!"

"Maybe it's because the topic between her and me is about you."

Oreki Gen replied calmly, looking ahead and walking lightly.

This seemingly casual remark made Asagiri Ran's heart beat faster.

She originally thought that Oreki Gen might prefer communicating with his sister more than herself with this personality.

But... doesn't this sentence mean that he just wants to understand himself through his sister?

What is he going to do...

Why do you always do such unexpected things...

Asagiri Ran didn't know how to answer this question, and even... wanted to escape again.

So they remained silent and returned to the door of the apartment together.

It is also the time of separation.

Oreki Gen waved his hand casually as if nothing had happened.

"Okay, let's go back. It's a bit cold outside."

"You knew it was cold, but you still insisted on taking me for a walk?"

Asagiri Ran said with slight dissatisfaction.

In fact, she was not dissatisfied at all, she was just used to being so stubborn, as if it was so shameful to expose her true emotions. Sometimes she even hated her own stubbornness.

Oreki Gen looked at her with a smile.

"Then I won't call you next time?"

"...If you don't want to call me, then don't call me. Who cares?"

She hummed softly.

"What if I'm rare?"

Just as Asagiri Ran was about to turn around and leave, she heard the other party's clear words that pierced through the cold wind.

She couldn't help but look at his eyes shining in the dark.

Like the bright morning star.

"I..."

"Ok?"

"good night!"

Thump, thump, thump—!

The girl turned and ran.

Oreki Gen was stunned for a moment.

Then I couldn't help laughing out loud.

Is it really that difficult to tell the truth?

Sure enough, my initial feeling was correct, my sister is still the cutest.

Asagiri Ran jogged straight into the elevator and frantically pressed the door closing button, fearing that the boy would catch up with her.

It was not until the elevator door closed that she let out a long sigh as if she had collapsed.

I even felt that in this instant I had sweated out all the sweat I had for the whole day.

I'm sweating profusely!

She patted her red face hard, making it look even rosier.

“Wake up! Calm down! Asagiri Sorrow!”

Then he let go of his hands weakly and leaned against the elevator wall.

"But what if it's true?"

...there is no hope.

Chapter 65: Brother is the protagonist

An early morning when classes are needed.

Oreki Xian turned off the alarm on his phone, but saw a friend request.

The above notes are simple.

[Excuse me, are you Oreki Sakura’s brother, Oreki Gen? I’m Sakura’s classmate! ]

Oreki Gen thought something had happened and added the other person as a friend.

The result was unexpected.

[It’s really Oreki Gen-nii-nii. I was in the swimming pool last time and wanted to add your contact information, but I didn’t seem to have the chance at that time...Finally I added you.]

So it was because of this kind of thing?

There is no way. My charm has now reached the level of ninety-nine on top and just learning to walk on the bottom.

It's normal to attract some ignorant girls, but...are girls nowadays so bold and brave?

I guess my sister couldn't resist her classmates' request and gave them my contact information.
