My younger siblings are so cute

"Have been waiting, brother."

"Is the work over?"

"Ok."

Shota handed over the hot coffee in his hand and said, "It's really hard. I have to go out to work even before the new year."

"Thank you." Ayase, who is still wearing a bright kimono, took the coffee, then took a sip and said, "Compared with Kirino, I am not too hard. Speaking of which, brother, did Kirino not come out today?"

"Ah, that guy." Shota said helplessly, "I'm still writing a mobile novel at home. It looks like that guy is going to finish the manuscript of the first volume before going on a business trip abroad."

"Is it a new novel written by Tong Na? I look forward to it a little bit."

No, you shouldn't expect it.

After Shota laughed awkwardly, he changed the subject and said, "Let's go, Ayase, you haven't been to worship yet?"

"Yeah." Ayase nodded, stood next to Shota, and said, "Then let's go."

Ayase's filming work probably took more than an hour, so Shota was at the end of the line again, and Kyosuke and Mana were probably almost there.

Shota looked forward, trying to search for his younger brother, but the crowd completely blocked his vision.

"Eh... the work is over. A little bit, um, come back a little bit later. I just met a friend... eh, mother, don't worry. Well, I will go back after the worship is complete. Sorry, mother. Then I hang up. "

"Madam Aragaki?"

After seeing Ayase hang up, Shota asked, "Is it okay to go back so late? It seems that it will take a long time before our turn. Maybe...we will not be queued until next year?"

"It's okay!" Seeing the apologize on Shota's face, Ayase quickly explained: "I insisted that my brother stay with me. Otherwise..."

"No need to apologize."

Shota waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I originally came with my brother. It should be my honor to have a lovely girl with me now."

After hearing Shota's words, Ayase lowered her head in embarrassment.

Although he had been prepared, the time spent in line was far beyond Shota's expectation. After he received a call from Kyosuke who was about to go back, he and Ayase barely moved.

"It's half past ten."

Shota glanced at the time on his phone, and then said a little sorry to Ayase next to him: "I thought it was a joke, but I didn't expect it to be scheduled until next year."

"It's already here anyway, it's a shame to give up."

Ayase was not as impatient or frustrated as Shota imagined, and said, "Speaking of which, this is also the first time I spent the New Year outside."

"Really." Xiangtai thought for a while and said, "In the past few years, oh no, it should be only last year. During the New Year, I stayed alone in Shennongjia, and I can't be considered a person. After all, there are a few more. A monkey is here. Ha..."

With that said, Shota explained his survival experience in Shennongjia.Of course, all the recipe questions were deliberately skipped by him, and he chose only the more interesting ones-such as the few golden monkeys that betrayed him, the big white snake that he had thrown a stone, and he was almost regarded as The experience of poachers being sent back to Japan.

With that, the topic of the two people gradually shifted from Shota's experience in China to Kirino. After talking for a while, they talked about Ayase's own affairs.

"This is a siren given by my father."

Ayase took out the siren in her bag and explained to Shota: "Just press it and you will be connected to the nearest police station. Usually you can get there within a few minutes. Because of this, That's why Dad can rest assured that I will work outside."

"Ah, by the way, I also learned some karate when I was young. Although it is not very useful, I can always delay the police to arrive." Ayase said this, looked at Shota and said, "But... These things in front of you are completely useless."

"Ahahahaha." Shota laughed awkwardly. Of course he knew that Ayase was referring to his breaking the plastic handcuffs. It seemed that the performance really left her a bad impression.I thought she had forgotten it a long time ago.

"Just kidding."

Ayase put the alarm back in her bag, then looked ahead and said, "Ah, it's almost our turn."

"Yeah. A little bit faster than expected."

The people in front only have an array, and unknowingly, more than an hour has passed.

"The next two..."

"It's our turn. Let's go."

Shota and Ayase bowed gently at the torii gate at the entrance of the "torii".Then walked in along both sides of the center.Under the guidance of the shrine maiden, with a pious attitude of "purifying the body and mind", she scooped water to wash her hands and gargle.Then put a coin into the small box for donation, bowed deeply at the shrine twice, slapped hands together twice, and bowed deeply again.The two closed their eyes at the same time and made a new year's wish.

"The first is to bless my younger brother to enter the ideal university, the second is to bless Tongno's novels to sell well, and the third is to have a healthy and happy family. The fourth is that everything is going well in the sky. Forget it, just do it for those guys. Just make a wish together. Fifth... I wish those two survivors still have good teeth. Oh, Lord God, please wait a moment, let me make another wish greedily. Well, the sixth is the new year , I hope my cooking skills can be further improved! Toward the road of a super chef again!"

Perhaps, the former Shota was not willing to believe in the existence of gods.But since even rebirth has happened to him, why not believe in the existence of gods?

Maybe someone in the sky is really watching him.

"When, when, when..."

At this moment, the resounding bells reverberated in the shrine. When he heard the bells representing the new year, Shota opened his eyes somewhat unexpectedly and said to Ayase who was also full of joy next to him: "Lucky, this year's winner. But it was pulled by us."

"Ok!"

"Then be more greedy and make another wish."

Shota looked at Ayase, who was smiling happily beside him, and thought, "My God, please bless the girl next to me to get what she wants."

At midnight, the last train of the tram departed not long ago.However, since the shrine is not very far away from home, Shota can finally make do with the night in a hotel without making any tricks.He and Ayase walked towards the location of the house in the dim light.Along the way, many of the same people walked with them with smiles.

"Speaking of which, brother, what wish did you make?"

It was Ayase's question that broke the silence. She raised her head to look at Shota who was one head taller than her, and asked with curiosity, "Can you tell me?"

"Um... I think about it"

Shota looked at Ayase's face for some reason, and teased her, and said, "I made a somewhat extravagant wish. I hope that this year I can find a girl like Ayase to be my girlfriend. Can you say me Realization?"

With that, Shota continued to walk forward, but after not taking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong around him.

"Ayase? Huh?"

Turning his head, he found that the other party was still staying in the original position, lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

Shota realized that he might have said something wrong, and quickly explained, "Sorry, that just..."

"If it's older brother, no problem..."

"Eh?"

"Association..."

The girl stretched out her hand to Shota...

"Brother? Brother?" After Ayase saw that she had finished asking the question, Shota was there forever, thinking that she had said something wrong, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask...Wish or something, I really said it. Wouldn't it work?"
