You only care about the strategy

Chapter 232 "Brother"

Old street.

After separating from sisters Yuka Gensei, Shiina Kiri and Kobayakawa Kazuki walked side by side on the sidewalk of the old street.

The buildings near the commercial section are lined with electronic screens of different heights, playing various advertisements continuously.

The cool light shines on the sycamore trees on the roadside. Due to the uneven skin change on the trunks, at first glance they look mottled and scrawled.

Unlike the talkative people in the past, Kobayakawa Kazuki now seems very silent, and it can even be said that he is deliberately alienated. The two have not spoken since they got off the bus.

After walking through a fork, Shiina Kiri asked proactively. "Are you free after school tomorrow afternoon?"

When he said this, he seemed very casual, but once the casualness was slightly obvious, it would be linked to deliberateness.

Although it is said that if you like someone, you should not blindly show your kindness to her, but you have to control the ups and downs.

In fact, the most important thing is that judging from Kobayakawa Kazuki's behavior of deliberately avoiding him today, if she is allowed to continue to be so embarrassed, maybe another month will pass.

He could afford to wait, but Aozora couldn't wait.

The mission period is four months, but the sooner a terminal illness can be treated, the better.

"No."

Kobayakawa refused without even thinking, and his tone sounded very stiff.

That's right, after all, I was forcefully kissed by him at Disneyland at noon today. Even the most arrogant person will still be angry, right?

"Hey, okay. I plan to take the guitar to a musical instrument store for care tomorrow, but it seems I can only go there alone." Shiina Kiri pretended to sigh.

Generally speaking, valuable things require time and energy to maintain, and this is especially true for musical instruments.

As far as guitars are concerned, the main material for production is wood. In order to avoid drying and cracking, there are even requirements for temperature and humidity during daily storage.

"Maintaining the guitar?" Kobayakawa Kazuki was surprised and finally became interested.

"Yes, after all, I have been playing for more than two months. By the way, when was the last time your friend nursed me?"

Sweat stains are inevitable in the summer, and Shiina Kiri often comes to the old street to play in the evening in order to gain more skill experience points.

"I don't know, but I probably just nursed him for a while."

Kazuki Kobayakawa curled his lips. In fact, the guitars were all brand new at that time and no one had touched them at all.

"That's right." Shiina Kiri nodded.

The guitar was given to him by a friend of the squad leader on the grounds that he was "mesophobic".

Recently, the squad leader has also "awakened" the not-so-obvious mysophobia entry, so Shiina Kiri guessed that the guitar might very well belong to the squad leader.

This kind of thing can be guessed more or less since it was confirmed that Kobayakawa Kazuki liked him.

This is not a bloody TV series. Everything has to be slowed down, and there is a "touching" at the end to force sensation.

"Are you still playing the guitar these days?"

"Monitor, have you lost your memory? Didn't I ask you to come to the old street square to play guitar with me last time?" Shiina Kiri touched her lightly angrily.

It was okay to take Asakura Ne with me in the past, but that day I took Kobayakawa Kazuki with me, and met several girls who came up to ask for their contact information, and asked him to explain.

Sure enough, adding the "charm" attribute will cause a lot of troubles.

Maybe it has something to do with him being handsome to begin with?

"Don't move your hands or feet." Kobayakawa Kazuki frowned, already quite resistant to physical contact. "I'm asking you, do you usually play?"

"I usually play for a while every day if I'm not busy."

"Haha, I thought people like you would get tired of it after playing for a month or two."

"What do you mean by someone like me?" Shiina Kiri was speechless.

As sarcastic as ever, this sentence even tasted like a personal attack, which was very unpleasant to hear.

"Asking knowingly." Kobayakawa Kazuki glanced at him.

"Who are you going to be with?"

Shiina Kiri. "..."

It turns out that it means something.

The time has finally come when he has to face his fate. Now he has lost the arrogance of telling the kitten that he wanted it all when he first got the blue subtitles.

"What do you think I'm planning?"

"How do I know you?" Kobayakawa Kazuki looked at him with disgust, as if looking at a scumbag.

Shiina Kiri was not angry because of this. He was indeed very greedy. He had been greedy from the beginning.

He looked at the squad leader's sassy little face and said to himself. "Before the fireworks display in Tokyo Bay, Xiao Nai answered my call."

Kobayakawa Kazuki frowned. "?"

Of course she knew about it, but she didn't understand why Shiina Kiri mentioned it at this time.

"She asked me a very confusing question."

"She said, 'If a girl stays with you as a friend for a long time, do you know if you will like her in the future?'"

"Monitor, you were right next to me at that time, right?"

Shiina Kiri looked at Kobayakawa Kazuki, whose expression gradually calmed down, and became more and more sure of her guess.

At that time, he didn't know about Aozora's illness, so although he felt that this question was about Kazuki Kobayakawa, he couldn't be sure.

After all, this behavior of a "girlfriend" helping to find a "girlfriend" seems weird no matter how you look at it.

Looking back now, I understand Aozora's thoughts.

She knew that she would never be able to go to the end with him, so that question was actually asked for her sister.

And the reason why Aozora returned to the line that day was probably because Kobayakawa Kazuki went to see her.

Otherwise, there would be no sequel to the love game between the two, and there would be no fireworks display.

"Shiina Kiri." Kobayakawa Kazuki raised his head and looked at him.

"What?" Shiina Kiri had a bad feeling because Kobayakawa Kazuki called his name.

"Don't go too far, don't let us not even be friends." Kobayakawa Kazuki said.     Obviously, the confession failed.

If this situation is put in the game, it can be considered that the two people are not close enough, but they forcefully confess their feelings.

That’s not quite right either. Gal must be saying that the prerequisites for the ending were not met.

"I was abrupt, sorry."

Shiina Kiri thought about the feasibility of forcing A up. After all, he had already succeeded once, but he quickly rejected this idea.

Different from the time at noon, this time the two of them were in a busy old street, and it was easy for the girl to behave in a stressful manner under the criticism of others.

There was no conversation all the way, and the two finally parted ways in the "Flower Garden".

……

"Among the endangered season language, the season language about planting rice is particularly eye-catching. The 'soon seedling banquet' where we celebrate after planting the rice seedlings, the 'night court' where the rice is shelled in the adobe house...etc. season language, due to the lifestyle, The changes and agricultural mechanization were gradually forgotten.

Natsuki wrote, ‘So, I want these seasonal poems to exert their residual heat in the extraordinary world of haiku’.

......"

on Monday.

After getting up early as usual for morning exercises, Shiina Kiri cleaned the entire rental house while listening to the Asahi News.

Finally, he opened the bedroom window and leaned out slightly, and the stuffy heat in his chest dissipated with the influx of fresh air.

Morning, sunshine, Asahi Shimbun, clean house, these are all beautiful terms, but it always feels like something is missing.

He looked back at the house warmed by the sun, and suddenly realized that it would be perfect if there was an orange cat.

Daju, who had just woken up and squinted his eyes, was lying on the bed illuminated by the sun, leaning sideways and lazily stretching, and looked at his master with a "disdainful" sideways glance.

This image is really healing.

Cat.

He quickly thought of Asakura Yin from this word.

According to the blue subtitle’s description of the girl, he actually already had a cat!

That kitten is very beautiful and cute.

Shiina Kiri clicked her tongue. It had been a month since Nene Asakura left. He could no longer see a clean living room and eat hot dinner when he came home from school every day like before.

Therefore, the kitten not only brings him immeasurable emotional value, but also helps him solve some very tedious things in life.

It's really a wonderful thing to live with her.

Perhaps it should be said that she is a symbol of beauty in herself.

During the month or so they lived together, she made him very happy.

The happiness here does not lie in the physical relationship, which seems dirty and dirty, but in detail, he always likes to make her angry when he has nothing to do, but she has never brought any negative emotions to him.

Sure enough, the word happiness is just a glimmer of ordinary life, and people are so mean that they miss it when they notice the gap.

Shiina Kiri walked to the living room and picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and looked at the time.

8: 27.

The girl should be on her way to school at this point, right?

After all, the sleepy kitten can no longer sleep in the cage every day like before. She has returned to her own life.

He looked at the girl's name in his address book and couldn't help but make a call.

It didn't take long for the call to be answered.

"What's up?"

There were no greetings like "Good morning", but Shiina Kiri felt more cordial, perhaps because she knew that her temperament was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

"Good morning, Asakura."

"Is something wrong?" Asakura asked again without changing his tone.

Shiina Kiri. "..."

It does sound a bit strange.

"I miss you." Shiina Kiri did not hide her longing.

I really want to, in this early morning, shouldn’t I hold a soft kitten and take a nice sip?

It is best if the kitten still shows a contemptuous but helpless expression, and the despicable humans will become even more excited.

So what kind of hard life has he been living this past month?

There was silence for a moment on the phone.

"Oh."

Shiina Kiri was speechless.

Well, at least it's not the "don't think about it" before. It seems that the girl has forgiven him a little.

Shiina Kiri thought smugly.

"Who is it, Asakura-san?"

Before he could continue to speak, a strange girl's voice sounded on the other side of the phone, perhaps Asakura Neto's new friend.

"elder brother."

Shiina Kiri. "..."

Why does this picture feel familiar?

It seems that Asakura Yin asked him before why he said she was his sister.

In the past, when he was talking to Asakura Nei on the phone, Kobayakawa Kazuki next to him asked who was on the other side, and he said..."sister" without thinking.

"..."
