You can't see it at first, but if you look closely you'll find that the maiden's face is whiter than before.

In addition, there is the red declaration of war, which symbolizes the start of war, and the yellowed sheets, which symbolize the intensity of the battle.

It all comes together.

Plus, a sentence suddenly came to my mind: 'She caught a cold last night and can't go to school today...'

The pale face of Okino Heshu became completely hideous.

But that's all.

He didn't ask anything in a crazy or angry manner.

He just walked towards the house step by step with a lost look on his face and hunched back.

Watching his brother walk past him like a zombie.

Okino Rinka looked at his lost and decadent back and murmured in her heart.

"It's time to give up..."

Shaking her head, Okino Rinka determined to seize the opportunity, waved at the puzzled Otome sister.

He quickly followed behind his brother.

Sakuragi Otome looked at Kazuki's back, whose expression had changed drastically just now.

Following his line of sight, I slowly turned my head and saw the bed sheet that I had just put on the shelf but had fallen to the ground.

despair--

When she got home, Okino Rinka watched her brother drop his schoolbag and go upstairs without saying a word.

She picked up the apron beside the dining table, tied it on skillfully, and shouted to her brother who had already gone upstairs: "Brother Heshu, do you want anything to eat? It's time to start making dinner~"

This is what Otome-sister often says to Toumi-nii.

This was also what she heard the most when she was having dinner at Dong Jiange's house.

And when his brother is around, there is always an envious look in his eyes.

Okino Rinka noticed this scene and secretly kept these words in mind.

He likes Otome-sister, so I should just turn towards Otome-sister...

Compared to the maiden sister whose heart is with someone else, Rinka, the 'maiden card' who responds to his every request, must be more attractive, right?

I thought so in my heart.

The petite Okino Rinka, wearing an apron, stood on a small stool and cooked some dishes that her brother usually liked to eat.

But what she didn't know was.

In the room upstairs, after hearing this, Okino Heshu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, did not show any emotions such as being touched or happy as she had wished.

Instead, he pounded the bed in anger.

These words from Okino Rinka did not give him any positive emotions.

On the contrary, these actions and words are related to otome.

It would only remind him of the scene he had just seen and what Sasaki said in the morning.

This behavior of repeatedly opening the wound and then rubbing salt into it.

This made Okino Kazuki, who originally just wanted to be alone and quiet, notice that his sister was always "taunting" him.

Thinking back to the times when he had conversations with Otome, he was interrupted by Rinka every time.

I thought about how I had gone out to look for a maiden to play with, but every time I was delayed by Rinka who was always dawdling, and in the end I was disappointed.

Thinking of myself once...

Thinking about how I watched Otome stay at Sasaki's house yesterday...

If Rinka hadn't made that joke at that time, would she still have a chance? Would everything still be in time...

The anger that had been accumulating in my heart found an outlet, just like a sink full of water that had the plug pulled out.

At this moment, Okino Kazuki, who did not reflect on himself at all and only attributed everything to Okino Rinka, lost his mind in an instant.

But his nature was not enough to prompt him to rush downstairs and vent his anger on Okino Rinka.

So he could only smash everything he saw in the room in great anger.

Snapped--

Sweep everything on the desk to the floor.

Okino and Shu looked around and saw that there was nothing left to destroy.

He turned his head to look at the alarm clock that Rinka gave him and placed on the bedside table.

I think back to when I lost my maiden because of Rinka's obstruction.

With red eyes and the resentment in his heart still not dissipated, Okino Heshu grabbed the alarm clock and smashed it against the closed door.

It was at this time...

As the doorknob turned, Okino Rinka, who had finished cooking, pushed open the door.

"And the tree..."

call out--

Standing at the door.

Before she could see clearly what was flying towards her, Okino Rinka's heart tightened. She subconsciously closed her eyes, shrank her head, and stood there in a daze.

After throwing the alarm clock away, Okino Heshu felt a pang in his heart when he saw Rinka suddenly opening the door.

Maybe Okino Rinka is just lucky enough.

The alarm clock flew over and hit the door frame.

It was only a few centimeters away from Okino Rinka's head.

Seeing Rinka was unharmed, Okino Heshu regained a bit of his composure and was about to go over.

But thinking of what she had done before, she retracted her foot and stood there with a dark face.

Opening her eyes cautiously, Okino Rinka's chest rose and fell violently, and she looked down with a trembling body.

When he saw that the gift flying towards him was the gift he gave to Brother Heshu.

A feeling of pain in her heart, sour nose and mist in her eyes swept over her whole body.

Boom——

There was a flash of lightning and a sudden explosion of thunder outside the window.

It illuminated the dim room of Chongye Heshu, illuminating his slightly hideous face and eyes full of anger.

Okino Rinka, who had never seen her brother like this before, suppressed her fear, walked over the debris on the ground, and slowly walked to his side.

The little face that had lost its color due to the shock raised a forced smile:

"Brother He Shu, what happened? Let's eat first. These are all your favorite dishes."

After saying that, he wanted to hold Okino Heshu's hand.

But Okinoheshu suddenly raised his hand and waved it away.

"And Shu-ge..."

Feeling the pain in her hand, Okino Rinka raised her eyes full of innocence and tears.

Looking at his sister looking pitiful, he murmured like a kitten.

Okino Heshu suppressed the anger in his heart that was burning like fire.

He took a few steps forward, his body, which was much taller than Okino Rinka, covered her petite body, and questioned her harshly.

"Okino Rinka! Why do you keep stopping me from getting close to Otome?"

"Why do you always make trouble every time I talk to an otome?"

"Why did you trick me out yesterday?"

"You know! You know! You..."

"I'm your brother, why do you hate me so much? You keep messing with me everywhere. Do you know what you've done? You..."

Thinking of the bed sheets he had seen before, Okino Heshu felt a pain in his heart, but he hadn't finished his words.

Then, Okino Rinka said in tears, "That's because of me..."

Snapped!

I heard Okino Rinka's knowing opening words.

Okino Kazuki, who didn't want to listen anymore, hit his sister for the first time.

Because of the rage in his heart, Okino Heshu, who was stabbed in the back by his own sister, used all his strength.

So the moment Okino Rinka was hit, she was knocked to the ground.

Feeling the coldness of the ground, Okino Rinka, whose left cheek had gone numb to the point of numbness, pursed her lips which were filled with the taste of blood.

The burning and pain on my face were not even one-tenth of the pain in my heart.

This was the first time in her life that Brother Shu hit her, the first time he got angry at her, and the first time he smashed something she had given him.

But even this.

She also wanted to convey her feelings to...

She did all this just to get Brother Shu to look at her more.

Whether it was being funny or pestering him, it was all to make him take a look. He still had her...

"Brother Heshu, I like..."

Swallowed a mouthful of blood.

Okino Rinka covered her face, stood up, and tried hard to speak more clearly.

But Okino Kazuki was so angry that he had completely lost his mind because of his sister's betrayal.

Seeing that she hadn't admitted her mistake yet, he waved away her hand that was trying to hold his, and shouted at her with a ferocious look:

"Get out! Get out of here! I don't have a sister like you, are you crazy? Go and help that outsider Sasaki to cheat me, get out of here!"

Chapter 40 Discovery

The hazy tears in the eyes turned into transparent pearls, which slid down the swollen and pale cheeks one by one, fell to the ground and shattered, then disappeared, leaving only an inconspicuous watermark.

Hearing Kazuki's words driving her away, tears welled up in Okino Rinka's eyes.

The words that came out of my mouth with great effort were drowned out by his roar.

Under normal circumstances, when seeing his sister crying, Okino Heshu would definitely go up to comfort her and admit his mistake.

But when he thought that she was the culprit who caused him to lose his maiden and was a betrayer, Okino Heshu felt boundless anger in his heart.

If the girl chooses someone she doesn't know at all.

Okino and Shu felt no other emotions except sadness.

But the girl chose Sasaki, the man she grew up with and played with.

And Sasaki won the favor of the maiden with the help of his own sister.

When he thought of this, Okino Heshu looked at his sister in front of him more and more displeased.

He didn't think he was any worse than Sasaki.

If it weren't for Okino Rinka's interference, the girl would definitely have chosen him in the end, for sure.

Okino Kazuki, who lost his mind due to jealousy, pushed Okino Rinka out of the door.

Without paying attention to her collapse to the ground, Chongye Heshu slammed the door shut.

Looking at the closed door, Okino Rinka lowered her head against the closed door and cried softly.
