"To, brother, are you sure you're okay?

Pull the tissue out of the pocket tissue your brother had and round it up to a moderate size.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry to surprise you. I just hit him in the nose. I'm really fine, Ethereum."

My brother, sitting on the bench and looking up at the dark sky where the sun has fallen, is grinning convulsively as he holds his nose with his right hand.

Standing in front of my brother like that, I stuffed one round tissue in my brother's nose.

"Oh, thank you Ethereum. No, you're so pathetic to laugh..."

I shook my neck to the side of my brother, who lowered his brow butt and shrugged like that.

"It's not your brother that's bad. Me, no, because I did something extra... I'm so sorry for everything."

When I said that and lowered my head gently, I saw Chirali and my brother. My brother, who is stuffing a round tissue on one side of his nose and looking up at the sky, smiles slightly with a troubled face when he sees me like that.

I don't look angry. But he seems to be in trouble. Are you somewhat frightened?

I knew it wasn't that easy to forgive. That's what I knew. And this is how you can have a conversation, so there's still a chance.

So let's not give up and keep apologizing. That way, one day, I'm sure, we might be able to go back to being good brothers, as we used to be.

With my face up, I make another round tissue when I make a smile as much as I can, stuffing it in my brother's nose.

"Doesn't it hurt?

I asked my brother as he shoved a round tissue into his nose.

"Yes, it doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt, Ethereum, but it's... close."

That's what I told you, my brother, he's trying to distance himself from me.

After all, they don't seem to like it. I was distanced earlier and my brother was injured because I was in a hurry.

If I hadn't stuck it in my brother, this wouldn't have happened.

Damn, if you think you've ignored your brother and hated him all the time, this is it. To my own selfishness, it makes me laugh through the shadows.

"Shh, because I'll be away soon. Just be patient."

"Oh, no, I'm not saying I don't like it."

"That's okay, I'm fine, thank you for your attention"

"Oh, no..."

My brother, who is looking up at the sky and laughing bitterly, is trying to distance himself from me as much as possible by letting him back up to his limits.

After all, my brother is sweet. I guess I really don't even want to come near it. But he cares about me.

But if I stay like this, I may fall too far back and now behind the bench. Then I fall from my head to the ground. So if you get hurt badly, it's tough.

I grabbed my brother's shoulder with my left hand, and when I leaned over, I pushed the round tissue in with my right finger.

"Chi, it's close, it's close, Aoi"

"Shh, excuse me. 'Cause it'll be over soon."

I finished stuffing the round tissue in my nose and sassy away from my brother. Then stroking his chest down in a howl, his brother is reverting to the position he had been lying on, wiping the sweat that had surfaced on his forehead with the hem of his coat.

Did you hate it enough to scratch a cold sweat? Still not angry. My brother is just fine.

"Wow, it's not Ethereum that's bad. I was just an idiot. Well, when I met her at the mall, I was surprised that she looked too much like her mother, but now Aoi looks like her mother herself, and I'm upset."

My brother, who was distracting himself from me, said so and scratched his cheeks with his fingers awkwardly.

I don't deny that I look like my mother, but how could you be upset?

My brother, who looked at me with his neck tilted as a chill on his side, coughed his right hand to his mouth.

"I don't think you know, but I've been telling my mother for a long time, no, that, what... I can't get my head up"

That's what I say, my brother, who drops his shoulder and drips.

You don't like your mother? Can't you get your head up? My brother? That can't be right. My brother and mother should have been close. And neither of us could answer my father.

But it's what he's saying, and I don't think he's lying. I don't know what it means to throw up lies about not getting your head up on your mother in the first place, etc.

"Can't you believe it? Well, I guess so. My mother used to play a tender, feeble mother who never stopped smiling before you."

"What, play?

Were you playing? My mother? Why?

"Yes, I was playing it. I cared about my mother."

"Do you mind?

What do you care? What's kind of sappy.

"Mother, when she gave birth to you, she realized it by instinct. He said he looked like him. It's not just about appearance, it's about everything. That's why she decided to fake herself."

My brother, speaking quietly, staring gently at me, slapped his neighbor pompous with his hand.

They're telling me to sit down.

I don't know what it is. I nodded in confusion and sat next to my brother.

But I kept my distance slightly this time to avoid falling off the bench again.

"... won't you sit closer?

My brother, who sat slightly distant and saw me chilling, shrugged.

"Huh? Oh, no... because I have to get hurt again"

Answer that as you shrink, a brother who puts his fist on his mouth and coughs his heart out.

"Well, so is that, um, you're absolutely right"

And he's nodded over and over.

Are you paying attention to prevent me from understanding what you hate?

"That's right, can you tell me the image of your mother from you?

He distracted himself from me, and his brother, facing the front, asked.

The image of your mother?

When I was with my father, I was always behind him, hammering at his words.

Whatever my father told me, there was no disobedience whatsoever, and I was obedient.

He was always a smiling, gentle person, but he didn't smell human, or he felt as inorganic as a machine.

That's what I think of my mother.

"I know you're a sweet guy, but to be honest, I don't have a very good impression..."

They look alike, so maybe that's why they think so extra.

I wanted to see my father's submissive mother and think I wasn't. I'm not like my mother. It's not like a weak mother who can't resist her father's words. That's what I was trying to think.

"Well, I guess so. When I'm with you, my mother, honestly... it's disgusting."

"Huh?"

I was surprised by my brother's words and accidentally raised my voice.

When I look at my brother, he looks like he bit a bitter bug with his front facing.

Disgusting? I can't believe my brother had such feelings for my mother.

"Then I'll tell you my image of my mother. You may not believe it, but there are no lies or lies."

That's how my brother spoke pale.

"Bold and honest. He hates to lose and is mean, but he is also twice as hard-working. But it's subtly uneven somewhere, and it's an outgoing dodge. And push without bending your will, no matter how dangerous the situation may be, and whoever opposes you, no matter who your ally is, beat him down with all your mercy and all your might. But whosoever is once in his nostalgia shall defend himself with all his might, and give him free love. He's my most respected man, and that's my mother I know. You look just like someone else, don't you think?

My brother, who had finished speaking, smiled gently when he saw Chilali and me.

Who the hell is my brother talking about? It was such an incredible story that it seemed so.

Bold and honest? You hate losing and being mean? So you're a double hard-worker? Who is it?

"My mother has a lot of problems with her nature. I respect my mother like that, but she really cares. Especially with the myriad legends I built as a student. As a mother, she only wanted you to grow up decent, resembling yourself. Expose yourself to your nature and you will follow the same path as yourself. I thought so, so I faked myself."

A student legend? Speaking of my mother's school years, I can only get that image of innocence and clarity and pity.

In fact, all of my mother's studenthood photos were like a sample of a Yamato stroke who laughed elegantly with a correct posture.

"We had no choice but to talk about it because it was my mother's favor, but to tell the truth, I thought my mother was wrong. Now Aoi was disgusted with her mother, wasn't he? Aoi has been sharp for a long time. Didn't you feel alienated by your fake mother?

alienation. It certainly is. I didn't like that smile. Feel like a doll made thing.

But I thought it had become so because I was afraid of my father. Is that what you're saying?

That you were faking yourself? That mother?

"I think if my mother had treated Ethereum with vegetables, there would have been another different path. That's why I asked my father to convince my mother that she would never bend her will."

Ask your father to convince your mother? Isn't that the other way around? Besides, didn't you bend your will when your father and brother asked you to? Did your mother disobey your father's orders? You're lying.

"And I can't imagine a mother not listening to her father..."

That's impossible, isn't it? That can't be happening. My mother is a machine that obeys my father's orders. You adored me, but when my dad kicked me out of the house, he was smiling as usual instead of crying.

"Well, what Aoi is saying is roughly correct. Mother basically listens to her father. One of the few people that that mother delves into is her father. But my father is also my father, and I don't want my mother to hate me, so it's so sweet on my mother. So when your mother starts being mean, your father basically runs away."

"To, run away? Is that your father?

"Oh, you may not believe it, but it's true. I also have enough to be laid on my ass. But my mother doesn't give a mouthful when it comes to work. And my mother stands up for my father in public. That's why it's working, those two."

Oh, I'm getting a headache. Do you stand up for your father in public? You can always stand up, right?

"My mother is good at acting and judging, and she's good at living the world. Networking is awesome. It is said by the public that the Castle Island family belonged to Sotaro Castle Island, but there is a lot of support from my mother in the shadows. The mother was the only one who misjudged. I drown Ethereum, who resembles me. Not even that mother misjudged me. I thought your mother was human, too."

I don't think you're saying... My brother's story isn't very believable, but I can't even think of a reason to lie.

"It's not just my mother's fault. I mistreated Ethereum, too. In retrospect, it was other manners. I know exactly how my father feels. I was scared, Ethereum hated me. That scared me more than anything..."

That's what he said and leaked his sigh, his brother dropped his arm on his knee.

"It was too late to notice. I'm scared of Ethereal eyes looking at me. I regretted it, but that's why I couldn't do anything. Still desperate to do something about it, but all I had to do was hunt down Ethereal Fiber extra. I cursed myself helpless..."

A trembling voice spinning by an item brother. That perfect, big, strong brother looked slightly smaller.

"I felt sorry for myself that I could only look at the Ethereal Fiber that was being hunted down day by day. I couldn't forgive myself for not doing anything. Even though he's an important brother, he's only one brother, but he was born with more luminous qualities than anyone else. I'll crush that. I thought I had to die to stop it."

"... Huh?

"If my presence is to hunt down Ethereum, I thought I had to die. I thought there was no other way..."

I felt dizzy at my brother holding his head with both hands as he dripped.

Die? My brother? Did you try to die?

My brother is not bad at anything. It's all my fault.

I was just weak because my character was distorted. Yet......

Were you hunting your brother down that far? I'll take my brother that far...

"Ha, wouldn't that be funny? Your brother is such a pathetic person. Just look at me. I'm a coward. It was him who saved me like that, after all."

"Oh, that guy?

"It's my mother. My mother regretted it, too. When I saw Ethereum being cornered, I realized I had misjudged him. That's why we discussed it."

That's what I said and slowly raised my face, my brother stares straight at me when he turns his face to me.

"It was me and my mother who kicked you out of the house."

I was wondering myself not surprised to hear that brother's words.

I'm convinced. I could honestly accept that it was the only way to protect me.

That's probably because I met Shizuka Ogasawara. I knew it was similar. My brother and Shizuka Ogasawara look just like each other.

I have hunted down my loved ones, and by doing so I have come to the conclusion that I have no choice but to die.

Shizuka Ogasawara could not avoid the conclusion, but my brother was different.

The only way to save me that was being hunted down. That's for my brother to disappear. But if my brother died, I'd feel like I was dead, too.

If I had lost someone who was my goal and found out it was my fault, I would not have lived very long.

Because when my brother leaves the house, he doesn't solve any problems. I suppose I kicked my brother out, and would have been frightened by his shadow.

That's why my brother kicked me out of the house. I changed the direction of my emotions by creating a distance with my brother and causing him to hold a grudge.

Who the hell was that supposed to shower my grudges all at once?

You're lying, no, that can't be right. But if what your brother is saying is true...

"Could my father..."

"Yes, Dad bought your grudge and came out."

Oh no... silly.

I never saw my father laugh.

He always had a rugged look and was a tough guy anyway.

It was tougher on me than anyone in particular.

I thought they hated me. I thought you were looking at me like you were no match for my brother no matter how.

I thought they thought I was a needless child.

"At first, Dad disagreed with our proposal. It's impossible to kick Ethereum out. But it is also true that there was no other means. That's why my father took on the most harsh of roles. Aoi, my father is not bad at all. No, he's a very decent guy compared to me and my mother who got too obsessed with Ethereum and skewed my thoughts. Probably the most normal person in the Castle Island family."

Normal. I heard that word and it almost erupted unexpectedly.

In confusing thoughts, I thought of my father.

That dad with the wrinkles between his eyebrows and the cold eyes looking at me is normal? No matter how hard I try to imagine, I can only think of a father with a rugged expression.

Such a father is the most decent in the Castle Island family.

"It's a tough role. Try being a father who is drowning his mother, and it would have been harder than anything to get resented by you like your mother. But there was no one else to play that role but my father. My father knew I couldn't do it, not my mother. That's why I bought myself that role and got out. I'm sorry, but I thought she was just in love."

Speaking in a gentle voice, my brother realizes that he's desperate to be about to erupt, and when he puts his right hand on my head, he pounds gently.

"Aoi is still best laughing. But I'm tempted to throw away the twisted Ethereal Fiber."

"Shh, excuse me. I know we're serious, but..."

No, my dad hears the word "most decent" and it really makes me laugh.

"Nevertheless, I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Makoto"

"Huh?"

"No, I thought there could be no other woman worthy of Ethereum than Mr. Rikanaka, but I was honestly surprised to see Ethereum rapidly transforming"

Transformation? Have I changed? Because you met Makoto? No, no, that's not it. I haven't changed anything.

And it can't be that I deserve foster care. It's an outlet meat potty.

"The fact that it was me and my mother who kicked you out, I was still going to lay low, but now Aoi decided we should talk. When I met Makoto, and I found out Shizuka, I thought you'd understand."

Shizuka, I did meet him so I could understand my brother.

By knowing Shizuka Ogasawara, who is similar to his brother, I was able to learn about his suffering.

"The reason I'm so interested in Makoto is that you're so attracted to him, I did a lot of research. So I found out about my sister Shizuka. At first glance, I thought you looked like me. And I thought it was bad for her, but I thought she was a kid who could use it. I thought making contact with Aoi would have a good impact on Shizuka as well as Aoi and Makoto."

Good influence? Did my brother stir me up after all? It was my brother's ruse to endanger Shizuka Ogasawara.

"Could it have incited me? To make contact with Shizuka?

"That's what I'm saying. I thought Ethereum would move if I said it was dangerous. Though it is true that he thought he was a dangerous child, he thought that he would have no hands or feet in Ethereum."

I knew it. I mean, it was a good fit. And I did what my brother thought I did.

But what do you mean, inside is dangerous? As originally planned, there seemed to be no problem with the foster care being in contact.

Even if my brother didn't show up there, I was going to end up in contact with Shizuka Ogasawara.

And yet why did you do something to stir it up extra?

"Oh, uh, what did you mean, foster care is dangerous?

"Oh, if you use Mr. Rikanaka for a dashi, Aoi will move as quickly as possible, but it is true that it is dangerous. I didn't want to put Rikaka and Shizuka in contact if possible."

I can't help but think that if I use foster care as a tool, I'll move quickly.

I didn't reschedule because I was worried about being in foster care. I wanted to do that myself, so I moved.

What does that mean, let's just leave it, the fact that foster care was dangerous?

"To see that face, don't you also understand the Ethereal Fiber? Well, maybe you could say I understood because it was me. Shizuka's thoughts and actions are in my hands. That's why I didn't want Mr. Reichung in contact."

A brother who stares at me and smiles and talks. But for the soft look, I felt like my voice was heavy.

"What would have happened if the first contact with Shizuka had been with Rikaka? Shizuka was feeling the shadow of a man on Makoto. I would be suspicious if Mr. Rikanaka showed up there conveniently. Anyway, Mr. Makoto doesn't have many friends. Besides, if I were to introduce you to my sister, it would be like telling me to be suspicious. Perhaps the man involved with my sister pointed it at me."

What my brother is saying is clear. You're absolutely right.

Zhenqin had few people to call his friends. Tanaka and I seem to be doing well, but given the relationship between the Ogasawara sisters, I don't think I would introduce them to my sister very much.

Unless that's what I'm ordering, it couldn't have been.

"Shizuka had no one to hit negative emotions with. That's why I kept blaming myself. And if a man comes up to his sister and finds out he's using a woman to find out about himself,"

That's all I heard, and I understood what my brother was trying to say.

"Is it highly likely that the enormous negative emotions you've been accumulating were suitable for foster care?

"That's what I'm saying. If a man approaching his dear sister tries to use another woman to gather information. Shizuka will have a clear enemy, even if it may be a rebellion or a victory. And it's very likely that the hostility was directed at you who manipulated Mr. Reichung."

I'm sure my brother is right. Shizuka Ogasawara did not sincerely resent Tatsuya Sasaki. That's why I tried to die.

Negative emotions with no place to point. If that negative emotion, which had accumulated so much that there was no escape and beyond the limits, had been directed towards foster care.

Naturally, there's a good chance it was directed at me, the man who molested my sister. Though I actually mock it.

"That was the dignified contact between Ethereum and Shizuka, who took the lead. Negative emotions could not be directed against Ethereum because of this, and it was a punishment. But I wasn't expecting to throw myself off the cliff. That was totally unexpected. I chilled my bottom liver then, but that's Ethereum, he showed me behavior that exceeded my expectations. That's when Aoi looked overlapping with her mother."

That's what you say and stroke my head, brother.

"Besides, Shizuka missed Aoi in an instant. I was hoping it would take a little longer. I know it worked, too, but, well, she looks like me. I definitely thought you'd be attracted to Ethereum."

As my brother stroked my head, I felt a twitch and sweat gushing out of my whole body as I questioned the boiling up.

Wait, that's crazy. No, I'm convinced of what my brother is saying. I'm not, and what my brother is saying is definitely strange.

Knowing that Shizuka Ogasawara and I have made contact is a good idea to give up a hundred steps. But how do you know Shizuka Ogasawara tried to throw herself off a cliff?

That's not all. Ass slapping is what I did in my room. Besides, since then, I've been the only one out of the room who was on the scene.

And yet, how does my brother know?

Gradually my hands shook. Cold sweat spreads through my spine. I felt the blood draw from my face.

Zhenqin said something like she met her brother this morning. I thought my brother came to my room after I left.

But that doesn't make Tsujitsu fit. Suppose I came to the room after I left the room and had a conversation with True Harp. You can't leave the room and go after me.

Then, after I made contact with Shizuka Ogasawara, when I went back from the cliff to the apartment, my first brother had a conversation with Makoto, who was in the room, and hid somewhere in the room?

I mean, did your brother watch Shizuka Ogasawara's ass slap aside and all his acts with Shinji?

A cold sweat that sprays from all over his body, neither sweat nor sweat, tells his cheeks and spine in a daze.

"Hmm? Ethereum? What's the matter with you? Although the blue looks bad."

"No!? Heh!? Oh, yeah! It's okay, it's okay!

Even if I desperately try to remain calm, my thoughts are confused and I don't know why.

Was my brother watching everything?

I can't ask. There's no way I can ask. If they say, "I was watching," I can't live from now on.

"Could it be cold? Too thin. If you catch a cold, you're in trouble."

My brother, staring at me worryingly, hung on my body when he took off the coat he was wearing.

"Ah, aha! Come on, come on, it's cold! Why am I wearing such thin clothes? It's stupid, hey! Hahahaha!

My eyeballs get hot and my vision distorts.

They were watching. They were definitely watching me. What should I do? I don't know what to do.

"Ethereal fiber is solid, but it looks just like my mother's where it's missing a little bit. But well, I guess that's why Makoto-san and Rikanaka are so attracted. And I think your brother is very cute in that part of Aoi."

My brother, smiling and stroking my head, never touched on any act with True Harp since.

Is he paying attention to me? But that's unnecessarily hard. That's why I can't even ask.

And if my brother was hiding somewhere in the room, he would know about it.

That idiot knew he was being watched and still kept quiet? Why are you keeping quiet? Tell me, if it's normal, I'll tell you. Are you nuts? Are you a real idiot?

My stomach... my stomach hurts.
