The rain that came out by the end of the visit to the grave gained momentum over time and became the main descent at night.

We ended our visit to the grave when it started raining and went home after lunch at the family on the way.

For that reason, it wasn't that late as it was time to go home... but instead of playing games, I was heading to my desk to study.

Summer vacation homework is long over, so there is no remaining challenge that you have to rush to clean up during the summer vacation, but you can't lack a preview for the coming new semester.

Do it to me. Make it Yaohua, I don't go to school because my usual behavior is a game priority.

That's not why he doesn't do poorly, he keeps the top of the grade.

This is the authentic preview and review that factors that are able to keep the top of the school year said, but usually it has been a routine these days to play games after studying for a couple of hours on a fairly clustered day like today.

Especially since UW is hosting a special event on the last day of the first half of the summer vacation.

But today I'm not in the mood for an event like that.

Every year, after going to Autumn Sister's grave, I and Yaohua feel depressed.

Because it really happens every year, my family and the parents of the Kaito family say, "You don't have to do this," but visiting the tomb itself isn't impossible.

Simply being silent about Autumn Sister has been depressing us for a long time.

It's still painful to think that we've been hiding from each other for years because we're usually close and trust each other.

I know you can't simply say you're betraying me or something... but even though it has something to do with it, being silent is probably no different than being betrayed.

If you're going to hold a lie like this, it would be easier for you to reveal yourself (...) minutes (...), but I don't know how that one will take it.

Not to mention that the other side will be talking about the (...) people (...) who know (...) and others (...) the house (...).

Listening to the rain outside, studying towards the desk, the door of the room was knocked modestly.

"Brother, are you there?

Apparently, Yaohua has arrived.

"Yeah? Yes, but what's wrong?"

"Let me talk to you for a second."

"Okay. You can come in."

As soon as my access clearance came out, Yaohua came in.

I bring snack treats to two 500ml pet bottles in my hand.

"That, brother, was studying. Should I put it back out?

"No, I don't mind. Anyway, I started studying in my spare time. I couldn't concentrate."

"Oh well. Then let's have a snack together."

Yaohua spreads sweets and drinks on a small table in my room.

The drink is Yaohua juice, but I am like tea.

I feel more like drinking tea personally. Is there a problem?

"Hey, won't your brother log in today?

"Yeah?... right. I don't really plan on logging in"

"It is. Looks like there was a massive Laid Boss crusade on Floating Island."

"Massive Laid Boss Crusade Event? What was it all about?

"Hmm, it sounds like it's just an event to defeat the massive Laid Boss, as the name suggests? The Evil Dragon Emperor is an event where the boss boils down on a plain stretching out into the middle of the island and makes it all user-friendly. He earned bonus points based on the amount of damage he inflicted, the amount of damage he endured, and the content of his assisted healing."

"Right. But it must be an event that's already over, right?

"Hmm, that doesn't seem to be the case, does it? I hear the first raid was at 11: 00, but he escaped on the way and said the next raid was at 16: 00. They escaped again after some damage, so they're talking about another raid."

"I see.... Well, I don't feel like joining you."

"Uh, your brother, too. I didn't really feel like logging in today, either."

"... by the way, did you come with me when I said I was going to join you?

"Um, I meant to, but I guess it depends on the mood. I don't even think I can be that active in the current tension."

"Nothing's working. But it's okay. I'm a pro."

"Well it is. See, as for having two names, I still don't want to be active. Thank you, boss. After the crusade, we're talking about damage rankings, healing rankings, damage rankings, all sorts of announcements."

"Still, I don't think we have to force it to be ranked. If you're not planning on joining us, I hope you're relaxing without playing games."

"Um, so is that.... Sometimes it's okay."

"Sometimes it's okay to spend some days forgetting about the game?

"Right. … I guess I'll go back to my room and study."

"I like that. You play games all the time, and if you lose your grades, you're gonna get mad."

"I hope they just piss me off. Hopefully it won't be a game ban or something."

"If you think so, you'll have to study in the tunnel."

"Yes. See you at dinner."

When he finished his snack treat, Yaohua walked out of the room with a bottle of juice pet.

Just throw a bag of snack treats in the trash and I'll start studying again.

"... the rain isn't going to stop yet"

The landscape seen through the window was still blocked by rain.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After spending the afternoon studying and eating dinner, I was relaxing in my own room after checking my sleep schedules.

... with Yaohua, who is similarly finished sleeping and looking like a pyjama and gobbling in my bed.

"Brother, it looks like the Reid Boss crusade was still going on."

"Well... if you just want to check that out, why don't you have your own room?

"Fair enough, that's good. So Laid boss, but he attacked again at 8: 00 at night, and now he's completely crusaded."

"Right. So this is the end of the event?"

"Right. Now it's like a late night festival near the central camp on Floating Island, or a bunch of player aspirations, and it's exciting."

"I don't want to go anywhere like that."

"I thought your brother would say that.... So, what do we do now?

"I don't care what they ask me to do. I didn't have anything special to do."

"Hmm, don't you have something to do without saying so?

"... I mean, you're free"

"Sort of. You're not feeling well, but that's why it's not right for you to spend time without doing anything."

"I don't care what you say. There's nothing particularly interesting in my room."

"Well.... That said, you're done exchanging event items?

"Oh, it's over. Wasn't it after the summer break when the exchange ended in September?

"I am, though. Brother, did you get the pet system?

"Yeah, I got a lot of stuff because I didn't have anything in particular I wanted."

"All right, log in to UW and play at your brother's house!

"... can I ask why that happens?

"I don't usually get to play with pets. I thought if I liked it, I'd get my remaining Event Points."

"... if that's what you mean, is that okay? I just don't plan on getting out of the house."

"Yeah, I don't mind. Then I'll go back to my room and log in."

Yaohua walked out of the room as soon as he got out of bed.

As soon as that happens, but I'm going to log in, and I'm going to log in, too?

... but you weren't even planning on logging in for snow noise today.

Then just log in to Snow Sound and I'll send you a message.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

When I logged into Zipan's mansion, I changed my online status to 'Logging Out'.

I don't need to show you that I'm logged in today, so you don't mind.

Now, do you want to go to the edge too and summon your pet and wait for Hal's guy?

Hull has been given authority to let him in the mansion with his guest ID, so he'll be appropriately here when he's finished logging in.

I summon Yeneko on my lap and wait for Hal to come as he turns appropriately.

Hal came after about 10 minutes.

"Brother, wait. Is it a little late?

"I don't mind, is something wrong?

"Um, it's not a big deal. Everyone at the party was just asking me if I wanted to go to the Late Night Festival on Floating Island."

"Then you could have gone that way, wouldn't you?

"I'm keeping you waiting for your brother. I said no."

"... then I don't mind. Well, for now, I've subpoenaed every pet in my possession."

"Wow, it's full of kawaii imovmov! By the way, I think there were snakes and turtles in the pet frame, but you don't have one over there?

"I got it, but it's not my hobby or Yuki's, so I don't usually serve it."

"Oh well. Can you get it out, by the way?

"Well, if you want to see it, do you mind?"

"Yay! Thanks!!"

Being petting and knocking down with Hal on the edge of the mansion for about 30 minutes.

Yuki seemed to be logged in as well.

"Evening, Twa, Hal. I hear you weren't planning on logging in today. What's going on?

"Good evening, sister Yuki. I didn't mean to log in, but this is how I flexed with my pet because I was so free."

"That's what they say. Wasn't Yuki busy today?

"Um, I guess I've been free all day instead of busy. Your fathers were out to visit the grave, and there was nothing special to do in a hurry. The weather wasn't so nice that I didn't feel like going out, so I spent the whole day in the house."

"It is. By the way, does Yuki have a pet, too?

"Yeah, I have one, too. Want to get it out?

"Yeah, please! It's mohmov heaven!

In addition to my pets from earlier on, Yuki's pets were summoned and Moffmoff doubled.

Hal and Yuki seem happy surrounded by tons of pets.

... As far as I'm concerned, I don't summon so many, but I'd like to enjoy it in small numbers.

After that, Yuki and Hal continued their pet rigging while surrounded by pets for about an hour, but as a result of the conversation so far, Hal also decided to get a pet.

Either way, they only had half a point left to get gear and useful items, so just say it's just fine.

"I don't know what I'm going to get this time when I decide to get a pet. There's quite a variety of cats and dogs, isn't there?

"Yeah, there's a lot of them. I can check in advance what type it is, and I guess I can decide then?

"So is that. How did your brother decide?

"Look around appropriately while you talk to Yuki. The pet itself can only be called in at home and it doesn't help anything but personal healing, so it doesn't matter which one you choose. Well, in the end, I ended up getting all of them."

"Again, your brother has no dreams..."

"That being said, it's not good because you're in the game to get as many pets as you want. You can't imitate that irresponsibly in real life."

"That's right...... for now I guess I'll just relax and decide when I get back home too"

"Oh, I think that's a good idea.... And since the event points add up to the second half of the point, why don't we just leave it for a while longer without being forced to use it now?

"... so is that. I used quite a few points to strengthen the Holy Spirit weapon. Can I see how things are going? Then it's time for me to go home. Let me play with you again, Bye Bye Bye."

"Oh, see you later."

"See you later, Hal"

After Hal left, both Yuki and I left our own pets behind to unsubscribe.

Sit back on the edge and relax and stroke your pet looking out.

I didn't do anything special, but it just felt like I was clearing up my depressing mood.

"... Hey, Twa. Did something bad happen to you?

"Yeah? Why not?

"Because he seemed kind of depressed. If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you, okay?

Um, I didn't mean to put it on the table much, but was Yuki aware of it?

"... well, I was just feeling a little depressed. I've settled down a lot already, so I'm fine."

"... well. But talk to me if it's hard, okay?

"Oh, okay. I can count on you if you need me."

"Yeah, okay"

After that, we talked absurdly, and it was bedtime, so we decided to log out.

I'm feeling a lot calmer when I log out, so I'll be able to sleep slowly today.

... although the guilt of not being able to talk to Snow Sound remains.
