When my father handed the package to Maple, who picked him up at the front door, he went all the way to the living room.

Usually, mapping out courtship actions close to odd in front of the front door is the norm, but today it doesn't.

There will also be tiredness, but the atmosphere that clearly creates is serious in itself.

Maple would have guessed that both my father and mother had returned home for an important story.

I just watch the action without gazing into my father's living room.

Put your luggage by the entrance, take off your jacket and sit next to your mother's chair.

Maple, instead, sat down next to me.

The words they exchanged were really short ones.

"You talked to him?

"No, talk to me from your father..."

To my father, who asked, my mother said it back a little coldly.

They don't look as friendly as a couple before us, but they still didn't have a bad vibe or a killer situation.

We didn't need more words than we needed because we respected and understood each other, it was two like that, but this time it was somewhere different.

Did Maple notice that, too, under his desk, he grabbed my sleeve small in a place he couldn't see from the two of us.

"It's okay..."

"Yes......"

You must have felt anxious, smiling and saying to the maple who has stared at this one in the ascendancy.

Don't forget the spirit that can handle it, well we'll figure it out again this time.

My father just took a breath and turned his gaze to this side to start the conversation.

No, I pointed it at the maple next door, to be exact.

"I returned home today with one suggestion"

"Suggestions…?

"Yes, I want you to listen carefully"

When I tell him that, his father turns his eyes to his mother.

Nodding. When my mother takes one file out from under her desk, she puts it on the table.

Me and Maple dropped our gaze on that file so we could peek in.

And the maple stiffens the body like a stupefied one.

"Study System at Orange Infarction College and Study Abroad at Sisters of New Zealand"

The title of the dossier said so.

Study abroad...... New Zealand.

Maple takes his hand at the dossier with his trembling hand and checks the contents.

It's a sudden suggestion, a story we don't even anticipate.

Naturally, I opened my eyes to the contents of the paperwork my father had placed, and accidentally double-checked.

It's something that has suddenly hit me with a big problem.

For a surprise gift, it's a little bit funny.

Maple hasn't been admitted to Orange Infarction College for a year yet.

In the first place, my father would have recommended admission to the College of Women by pushing off the will of Maple, who said he wanted to enroll in the same Cherry No-Hill School as I did.

That's how the hell can a story surface without a thump about studying abroad?

Next door, I conceived within limited information.

That would be the same with maples.

Studying abroad is not uncommon these days.

It is time to look for diverse abilities, it may be natural to go overseas with the idea of stepping up even the conditions.

But he's only the one who cleared the terms.

Academic skills, adaptability, the home environment and money also create significant burdens.

... Indeed, if it is a Maple grade, it may also be acceptable from the school side to make use of the study abroad system.

To the extent of public discourse, I think I've heard before that Maple has some third-year students studying English abroad.

I don't know if Maple is willing to do that.

It's not even a serious conversation then.

These people are also in the College of Women, that's the only way to exchange information.

I don't think that's going to stick to reality.

Nevertheless, if studying abroad is true, it would not be something we would talk about in a serious atmosphere so far.

More, it's the family that pushes the back.

I turned my gaze next to him to say so, and I change my mind.

I had some discomfort.

That my mother has stated nothing against me. Mother should be the first one to be negative considering her daughter's struggles in emigration, etc.

But this time it doesn't.

And then maple.

Naturally for her, it is only natural that she has confirmed her intention from the outset.

Without his own will, he cannot start studying abroad.

But the look that the maple next door is floating on is only stunning, not a glance of expectation.

Still, what's certain is that my mother is more grumpy than anyone else.

I'm angry about something, that's all I got to tell you.

And probably against my father.

I can't see any sign of you two talking, so I open my mouth from you.

"Maple's will is progress since we heard it, right? You're not talking to me on your own."

Ask my father, but he has no words to return.

Shut up and listen, that's what they seemed to tell me.

Even in this situation, I have myself so calm that I'm disgusted.

More than usual, the brain spins and father's words regenerate behind the brain.

One by one, illuminate various hypotheses in the discomfort you remember, and its repetition.

Maple academics are fine, the base should have my dads residences overseas, there will be a bit of financial difficulty, but it won't be a big problem.

And on the contrary, I have more problems.

Academically, overseas high schools will be difficult from now on, falling off the entrance exam.

Besides, getting used to the environment is also a problem there.

But as a brother, I don't want to end my sister's studies abroad at my brother's expense, so I'll try to do something about it.

And then... about this house and the people I associate with.

Do you two think about it around there?

Maple opens his mouth where he is developing up to his thoughts on later things by himself.

My little trembling sister's hand was so powerful that she could tear off the paper she held.

"Is this, are they proposing to study abroad sometime?

"It's the new year."

Short, my father answers.

It's the middle of November now, and if it's the beginning of the year, there's not much time left.

I guess it's not a story that came out yesterday, but one that has been going on for quite some time in my father.

I just didn't even share it with the kids when it came to progress.

The timing is too late to disagree with in person.

If you aimed and told them at this time of year, you can't clean it up with the word bad character.

As my father, I turn a strong gaze that it is a cowardly way.

But no gaze from the other person will be exchanged.

I make a grip so hard that my hidden hand beneath my desk is so full of blood that I'm just saying it's about maple and it's none of your business.

"Brother..."

……

I groan and gently stroke my head in a trembling voice asking for help if I could rest.

Maple has a friendship, too, and a life.

That could break it, there was so much I wanted to ask.

"Period is…"

"The other party replied that they would allow enrollment until graduation if they so wished."

"You want me to live alone?"

"Me and my mother, we moved to New Zealand now, we can live together"

My father answers the questions he asks lightly.

Mother was gazing at her husband sitting next to her without uttering a word.

Those are my mother's strong eyes that should be gentle.

Zero sigh, think.

There are people I think are important to me, too.

I can't break that relationship.

"It's too sudden... I don't know what my father is thinking, but it would be normal to ask him about his wishes in advance"

"... originally I tried to migrate with you when I was overseas, but I'm leaving this house at your mercy, watch my words"

Rare, angry language pronounced, his father quietly asks for a maple response.

Maple was also swimming his gaze at whether he was not able to grasp the situation well.

I need time to think...

Such a sudden story, I could tell right away. There is no way I can say.

If it is New Zealand where the fathers live, their daughters can live under the same roof.

She's an old girl, you'll be relieved.

And I guess this isn't a suggestion or anything.

Given the relationship between severely distressed parents, is this a matter of decision and an ex post facto report?

So it also goes hand in hand with my mother and father not gazing at each other.

My father must make progress on the story by the end of the day if Maple shows any positive attitude.

In view of the usual degree of drowning, it is easy to imagine.

So think so that I can leave room for thought.

Twist the words, spin them off.

"My father may not remember, but I was also elected to the Student Council... and I can't leave this town right now, and there are some important people"

The voice is stronger than usual, as it is held back by the thought of Shizukuishi, Kirasaka, and Yudo by the appearance of the chairmen, and the power is caged in the eyes you can look at.

Empty humans made something less important.

It would be an analogy, but the weight of being a person should have been a little.

That's why I have to show my willingness to study Maple language abroad.

So that my sister can see that and think of her own will and come up with an answer.

After hearing my words, my father nodded a few times.

Quite frankly, did it create room for thought as well?

When I look at it like that, my father opens his mouth.

"Well... we need to talk about that, and I think you should continue to study at Japanese universities."

"Huh..."

The voice is the gentlest thing of the day, and the eyes directed at it are as mild as I miss them.

But I can't hide the confusion.

Turn away, no, it's not hidden out, but it doesn't have to follow, is that what the person in front of you is saying?

I didn't have to come, only that fact was filling my brain.

"Now it takes you a long time to get used to it, not from this time of year when you decide the path."

……

The words told were convincing.

It's too bad for me.

If we migrate abroad together, we will be forced to make our way while we are held back by the language wall, and we will finish our high school lives without knowing anything.

But what my father said sounded different to me.

I don't need you, as if they say.

Maple can do it, I can't do it.

It's been common for a long time.

A gifted sister, a brother without talent, and a priority as a parent are poured into nature and sister.

No grievances or grievances there.

This world is not equal.

A man of ability wins, and a man who doesn't have it makes the most of it because he lives to the lowest limit.

Thinking about my future sister, having a language study abroad and touching different cultures would go a long way in life.

But still, you come with me, I thought it was something you could say.

With my head, I knew that I was not used to living overseas in a year going to school or getting a job, as my father said, until I thought about it.

The important thing is that Maple goes to sister school, not that the whole family lives together.

Then I'm alone in this house... my father kept saying things on the arrow tip that I thought he was.

"If Maple decides to study abroad, this house will be put up for sale. Let me live in my grandfather's house at first, and if you can find a property with good conditions, you can move."

When my father finishes saying it, he puts his hands on the desk and raises his hips.

The conversation was over, and yes, it was indicated in the action.

Maple, who was looking at me worryingly next door, even though he was in trouble, turns his strong eyes to his risen father.

"I... have always been with my brother!

……

Maple showed, first reaction.

When his father sighs just a little, he calls out in a gentle voice so that he can fool himself.

"Maple...... it's time for my brother to leave"

So briefly, my father went back to his room.

I guess I lost my job at the jet lag and got tired, I went to get some sleep.

When I couldn't confirm my father's appearance, I spoke to my mother, who was facing me.

"How long will you two be over here?

"Three days, so I'll have to give them an answer the day after tomorrow."

Three days, you won't be able to have a decent conversation today, so there's essentially just a whole day tomorrow.

Time and information are limited, and what can I do?

When has it not been that smart to work so well?

Looking up at the ceiling, the maple came in a powerful embrace with a small arm.

"I'm... I'm near your brother"

Gently stroke her hair with her open left arm to the words she told her lonely.

Let's start with how Maple perceived the story of studying abroad, then.

Back from my school trip, I thought the days of rest had come, the arrowhead, the True House, was on the verge of making the greatest choice.
