That was about nine years ago now, at one dusk.

After the audition, the three Baltic boys, who, as usual, finished the run in the outer perimeter of Back Mountain, were hungry and hurrying their way home.

If you continue along the country roads full of irregularities in accustomed footsteps, you will see the Baltic mansions in the narrows of depressed and lush trees.

The boys, who were overwhelmed with exhaustion, sighted and breathed relieved at home.

—— Let's just go home, eat, and roll into bed.

With each one of them having that thought, they step out to speed up their gait. So there was a noise shaking the gutter and the leaves of the tree from overhead.

"To... brother! Brother!"

What echoes from an oddly high position is the voice of a girl used to hearing, not a bird beast.

The three have a bad feeling, first of all, they look at each other in the face. Then he looked up over his head at the same time as "SE's".

There was the appearance of my sister (Katrea), clinging in desperate shape to the branches of the trees - which are also, at a considerable height, about the third floor of the building.

"... what are you doing, Rae?

Maurice, his eldest brother, first speaks to his sister, who entangles his limbs in a tree like a monkey.

Then Katrea started to leak her runny nose and whimpers, messing up her tense face.

"Ugh... Higu... Ugh. When I climbed the tree, I couldn't get down, and I was. Brother, help me..."

"Can't you get off?

Saying so is Edgar, the second son of the Baltic family. He sent a cold gaze to his overhead sister.

"You can't climb that far and not get off. Don't be sweet. Do something yourself."

"If I can, I will!

Katrea strengthens her voice. At the same time, it sounded like something was pounding.

The look on Katrea's face, which was loosening in relief, is once again strong.

"Ko, when this branch was dead and I thought it was still okay and I rode, I cringed and sounded from the roots. Maybe if I move any further, I'll break it completely and fall to the ground with every branch. If he falls, he's dead..."

The brothers turn their eyes to the branch where Cattleya clings. I didn't know if it was going to break, but the sense of urgency drifting from my sister was real.

"... that stinks. Fly to the other branches."

"You can't be such a monkey."

"'Cause it's okay. Because it already looks like a monkey."

"What do you mean, Brother Ed!

More and more leeway is lost from Katrea's expression, even as she interacts with Edgar in a loose way.

Eventually Katrea began to sound pitiful or thin, shuddering like a small animal.

"Please, help me. I've been doing this for an hour now. In the meantime, I haven't even been able to go wash my hands. It's time for the limit."

……

Whether it's a lie or a truth, Edgar hangs up the words when he's informed of his sister's little crisis. He was not ruthless enough to tell his pre-dowry sister to leak it on the spot.

Maurice, listening to the conversation beside her, looks around her younger brothers' faces and arms up to think. Then I asked my overhead sister with a prolonged voice.

"Hey Rae. You, who do you want help with?

"To?"

For a sudden inquiry, Cattleya makes up her mind.

"To whom...?

"Pick the brother you want most help with. Let's be fair here and go with the policy that the nominated guy will be on his way to rescue. Whoever gets picked, no grudges."

……

Why don't the brothers reach out to their pathetic self in crisis right away. Why is my rescue a punishment game treatment?

Various questions seemed to be swirling in Cattleya's little brain.

But he couldn't afford to think about it any more. Katrea nods and begins to tread with which brother seems the most convenient.

So soon, my second brother opened his mouth.

"I knew Brother Mole was a man you could count on."

Spitting a deliberate dialogue, Edgar puts his hand on Maurice's shoulder.

"He's just the eldest son of the Baltic family, and he has leadership. I can't take care of my siblings like my brother. That's an extra 10 points, brother."

"Ahhh. Ed, you --"

"What do you say, Rae? Even you, brother, would want your point brother to help you."

"Ha...?

To his brother's words, which seemed oddly gentle to say, Cattleya nodded, wondering, but encouraged.

"Right, then to Brother Mole--"

"No, I'm no match for Ed's kindness, either, on the boulder. I saw Rae sneak her breakfast bowels apart this morning."

At both (so) places, Maurice blocks Cattleya's words.

"Was the bowel stuffing tasty, Rae?

"Yes, sir"

"Right. I think that act is equivalent to 20 brother points. I don't have the kindness to give someone their own meat.... Rae would also like to get help from his brother who eats a lot of meat anyway"

Apparently she noticed herself pinched on the board, Katrea compared the faces of her brothers under her eyes many times, as troubled.

I don't care who you are--just help me--my young eyes move slightly to sue me like that.

... but in the end Katrea snorted, following her eldest brother but thinking he was lucky.

"Right, then Brother Ed --"

"Actually, that bowel stuffing, it was something I dropped on the floor once. He was angry at me when I made food crude, and hesitated to eat it. I was worried about what was going on, and Rae looked at me like she wanted something on the side, so I gave it up with my best intentions. Otherwise, I won't give up the meat."

"Sorry."

To the truth to be revealed, Kathrea opened her eyes and opened and closed them with her mouth wide open.

Maurice also smiles at her brother's confession and leaks the truth.

"Wow. You, that's kinda bad,"

"Right. I'm disqualified, brother. Unfortunately, I'll give you 20 points back."

"... no. I can appreciate the fact that I gave up my bowels and the honesty with which I confessed the truth. Leave me 10 points."

"Then the forfeited score means it's awarded to Brother Mole"

"How long are you going to keep doing that..."

Cattleya turns her petition eyes to two brothers pushing their points together, just like her sister, who is supposed to be in crisis. Her face was filled with sadness like a dumping dog because of the crap and intestinal shock she couldn't get help with.

The two brothers leak their voices "oh" with a dumb face, as they finally remember the important task of rescuing their sister.

So Haltris, previously silent, advanced one step forward with a rugged face.

"You don't have to wipe your stupid ass. Besides, if you try to help me, you won't want to be caught. Rare deserves it all. Let's just report it to my father."

"Become --"

To a hunch of another crisis, Katrea blues her face and shakes her head when she blinks.

"Wait, Brother Tris! If my father finds out I climbed a tree, I'll skip dinner again!

"Then why did you climb a tree? If you're scared of your father, you just have to imitate him like he's pissed off."

"Tris, stop it. You're just going to be vain if you're going to judge Rae."

Edgar has a crush on Hartris.

"Besides, if you leave Rae alone in this state, your father's wrath will flame on us."

"As soon as my brothers shelter me like that, Rae will repeat the fool without punishment no matter how long. Even yesterday, he fell into a pit he dug himself into, and my father was so mad at me."

What's more, Haltris, who headed for the rescue, also fell into the hole, but he refrained from mentioning it.

"You should also let it hurt a little to cure Rare's sweetness. You should give yourself a taste of what your actions will do."

Haltris, who tends to get caught up in his sister's taunt for something because of his near age, insists so as to expose his daily grievances. In fact, he should also know that it was not a good idea to leave his sister like this, but he still looked like he couldn't help but say words that would throw him off.

Edgar nods with a strange look at his brother like that, yeah. And slowly opened his mouth.

"... Tris. You're really thinking about Rae."

"What?"

"Hardness is one of affection. I'm impressed. I'll add you 30 points."

"Whoa, you jumped to the top at once. Congratulations."

"Nah... don't be ridiculous, brother!

Haltris raises his voice of anger when he is made to tear up his wares and serious claims. The brothers on the other hand make fun of their puffy angry brother and laugh happily at Guerraggera.

To the pleasant play of his brothers, played on his own, Cattleya, who had previously maintained a feisty posture, finally cut off his paralysis and raised his voice.

"How long are you going to keep me waiting already! Besides, me, I didn't climb a tree at play. I was just trying to recover it because the laundry was flying in the wind and I found it caught on a tree branch!

"Laundry?

It is not a very acceptable act, such as the bending of a noble daughter climbing a tree, but there seems to be a reason for it, and Haltris raises his eyebrows. With his eyes containing suspicion, he looked up at Cattleya's face.

"What's a laundry?"

"Pants."

See, and Katrea lifts her right hand slowly away from the tree. If you look closely, she had a cloth in her hand that looked like underwear.

... I didn't seem to be lying.

"Depending on the size, it's probably Brother Mole's."

"Whoa, me?

Named, Maurice points to herself.

To such an elder brother, Edgar and Haltris sent a pitiful gaze.

"This is settled, Brother Mole."

"Rae put her life on the line for Brother Mole's pants. Your brother should be responsible for helping Rae here."

"Wait, wait. I haven't decided on my pants yet."

The brothers push Guru and Maurice's back. Maurice rushed into the giant and stopped on the spot. And all I'm saying is the last lift, I offer my hand toward Cattleya.

"Rae, pull your recovered pants over here. Verify if it really belongs to me"

"Can you help me when I confirm"

"Whoa, I'll take responsibility for my pants."

Cattleya dropped the underwear in her hand round as she grudged her brother, who responded lightly but did not immediately come to her aid. Receiving it, Maurice spreads her hands wide and gazes at the cloth.

From behind, my brothers peek into the underwear of the matter as well.

"Big. I don't care what you think. It's Brother Mor's."

"Good luck, Brother Mole."

"... No, this isn't mine. This is--"

After spreading his underwear wide and gazing at the cloth, Maurice says with certainty.

"It's my father's pants."

……

The children are silent and gently distracted from their father's underwear.

Maurice carefully folded the cloth she was spreading and turned her face toward the mansion.

"... will you call the head of the pants?"

"Ahhh. Wait, wait, brother!

Cattleya rides herself out of the branches as she chases him, desperately absurding her voice. In keeping with it, the bass and the leaves of the tree fell.

To her sister's overly desperate reaction, Maurice leaks a small chuckle that she was enjoying. And I said, "Bye, I'm kidding," and I looked back.

—— At the same time, it sounds crisp and light.

"Ah."

Katrea's body fell towards the ground.

"At that height, people don't die."

"Ahhh. I remember Rae being extra again."

Towards the mansion, Edgar sighed, looking down at his sister, who walked with her father's underwear in one hand.

"This guy, don't do it again"

"I don't know. It's none of my business."

That's right. It's Haltris who throws up. What a bitter face his forehead has a splendid kobu.

—— In the end, the fallen Cattleya was taken by Haltris, who happened to be standing nearby.

Miraculously, neither of them was heavily injured, but the moving Katrea slammed her hands and feet and punched Haltris' forehead hard with her fist. The result is his octopus.

Hultris, who had been the feather of being forced to pull the poverty lottery, stared at Cattleya resentfully as she mocked her forehead with her hands.

"I knew it wouldn't be a busy thing to do with Rae. Whatever happens next, I'm not gonna help him."

"Don't say that, number one brother"

"You're gonna get mad, Brother Ed"

Told to roar, Edgar gently distances himself from his brother whistling.

Maurice looked sideways at her unhappy youngest brother and glanced over her shoulder. Then, I turn to my sister, who is in a good mood.

When she noticed her eldest brother's urging gaze, Katrea walked over to Haltris and looked sorry and bowed her head.

"Dear Brother Tris, I'm sorry. Thank you for your help."

……

Haltris does not answer. I just silently recieve my sister's apologies, which I frequently hear.

She realized that her angry brother's reaction made no sense with mere reflection on the tip of her mouth, and Katrea took a breath of "muggle". Then patrol for a while and declare as you have decided.

"Thanks, I'll do the cleaning duty for Chicken Hut this week!

……

"... Plus, I'll give you my brother this evening's bread!

……

"Ugh. Then... tomorrow morning, I'll also give you a bowel stuffing that hasn't fallen"

……

"Dear Brother Tris..."

Kathrea is a little overwhelmed by her little brother's dedication. There was nothing more to dedicate to her, she grabbed her lips and pulled the hem of Haltris' clothes.

"Make up for it. I promise I won't climb high and fall again..."

"Don't trust me."

Haltris says without getting her hair in between. And I played my sister's little forehead with my fingers.
