August 23, the temperature was 42 degrees.

In general, the days seem to have changed but also not changed.

During this summer vacation when cicadas are singing, facing the sun that can scorch the entire Tokyo to the point of distortion, going out for a run has simply become a luxury. Most of the time, I can only hide under the air conditioner and be in awe of the world outside the window.

.

"101..."

"102..."

"103..."

Raku Sakakibara was doing push-ups during summer vacation rehabilitation training at home. In contrast, the girl sitting on the sofa in the living room, diagonal to him - Amami Nanamiyuki, was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and meticulously reading the hardcover book in her hand.

Books.

Her eyes swept over the lines of fonts, and both her eyes and the quiet hair next to her glasses seemed to outline her concentration.

Sakakihara didn't want to disturb her, so he made the sound of movement very low.

Count also try to count silently in your mind.

Occasionally I would glance at that beautiful girl.

Ever since I got to know some about the Seven Bright Moons in the Sky and the Sea.

Sakakihara Raku believes that books, for Nanamiyuki, are a place for her to escape.

She has very few friends in reality, so she can only rely on the characters in the book for support and comfort.

Humans are social animals, and we cannot avoid social interaction no matter what.

Sakakihara Raku always believes in this.

Of course, this is just a superficial assumption. The book may have a greater and more complicated meaning for Qimingyue.

Just like the wind gives people different meanings.

Some people think the wind is noisy, some think the breeze is cool, and some think the wind is a wonderful thing that can blow up the skirts of cute girls.

"150." After completing today's goal, Sakakihara stood up.

At the same time, the system also sent a message that the mall has been refreshed.

When he stretched his arms to relax, he opened the panel and took a look.

[White],[White],[Green]......

Why are they all useless casual clothes with numbers after ten digits?

What is the use of green quality sunflower sunglasses?

It’s all useless stuff.

No wonder it’s called the daily system, it’s so daily.

However, the divination card that I drew earlier revealed a [good luck] divination.

[Lucky Luck] did not explain what it was specifically, but gave a hint - within three days, carry a needle with you.

Although he didn't know what it was for, Sakakibara carried it on his body as requested and put the needle in a small plastic bottle.

After turning off the mall panel, Sakakibara finished his stretching exercises, went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, and sat on the sofa to watch a TV that was broadcast but no one was watching.

Not long after he sat down, Sakakibara Suzu, who had fallen asleep, put her white feet on his lap and leaned her head with messy hair on the sofa. She seemed to have had a sweet dream, and she was so happy that her mouth was watering.

Returning angels are almost the same as fallen angels.

"Brother~ there, it's not allowed...hehe...itchy..."

Sakakihara Raku heard her murmuring in her sleep and almost spit out the water she just drank. What did this girl dream about?

When he looked over, Sakakihara Suzu put her hands on her stomach.

Ah, it turns out that I dreamed of rubbing her belly.

When she was a child, I would always tickle her belly, and she would often laugh until she couldn't breathe.

It’s not unusual to dream about your belly.

After staying for a while, Sakakibara felt rested and was just about to get up.

"Brother, what is the purpose of exercising every day?" Tianhai Qimingyue looked at the book with her brows motionless.

"Hold on."

"Persistence is not about persistence for the sake of persistence. Every struggle needs a point of support. I am asking about the point of support in my brother's heart."

"Point of support... um..." Raku Sakakihara thought for a while, "How should I put it, I feel that I am not as good as you now. I feel that you have all kinds of talents, and apart from cooking, I also

I’m a little better at exercise than you are.”

......

"Brother... It's the recital that my sister is going to hold soon that puts pressure on me." Amami Nanami glanced away from the book, looking at Raku Sakakibara's face with his back to the light through gold-rimmed glasses.

Sakakihara Raku was stunned by her sight.

Well, Qi Mingyue still sees clearly.

It is true that the piano recital Jiuliuli will hold recently will put a lot of pressure on his current boyfriend.

Tianhai Jiuliuli's piano recital is by invitation only, that is to say, only those who have received the invitation can enter.

Regardless of how valuable this concert is, Sakakihara considers it a great thing to be able to organize a piano recital and send invitations to people from all walks of life.

How many people do you know, but the focus is still on one person, and even a small mistake will make you nervous to the point of death.

Sakakihara admitted, "Well, you are right."

Tianhai Qimingyue: "Actually, my brother does push-ups just to give himself psychological comfort."

"Oh, I just want to move myself so that I don't look so idle."

"Brother and sister are not in the same field, so there is no need to belittle oneself if they cannot compare."

"It's not as serious as belittling oneself...Qi Mingyue, where do you think my mentality started to appear?"

"It's just that my sister's starting point is too high. The two people she's dating are on the same level. It's normal to feel uncomfortable. As I said, brother doesn't need to be disappointed. In fact, brother is not weak. In the whole school, you

The results are second only to my sister and I."

How does this sound like Qi Mingyue is comforting herself?

"This matter... It's not that I have low self-esteem, it's that I feel that I can't help Jiuliuli with the piano recital, and I feel very disappointed... I don't know if you understand me

It means. It’s like, she is doing her thing and I am doing mine. We seem to be far apart in some areas, and there is a sense of distant strangeness.”

"Do you ever feel like this when your brother and sister are in love?"

"No," Raku Sakakibara shook his head, "I'm usually very nice, and Kuruuri is also very approachable. We play games and stuff every day, and we're very happy."

"..."

Tianhai Qimingyue did not speak anymore.

"What?"

"I just don't want to talk." Tianhai Qimingyue's words were brief and powerful, like an order to expel guests.

Next, Sakakihara tried asking her two more questions, but the results were the same - she didn't respond.

Sakakihara began to think and gave the answer——

Xiao Qiyue is so jealous!

Even though Sakakihara Raku didn't notice the smell of jealousy in her cold and dusty temperament at all, he felt this way in his heart.

Jealous July is cold and cold.

Haha, quite cute.

"Brother."

"Huh?"

"Pour me some water."

"...Is this how my sister orders her brother? Please allow me to refuse."

Amami Nanamiyue was not impatient, but closed the book in his hand with a snap, "According to the agreement, Sakakibara Raku is obliged to abide by what he promised..."

"Stop, stop, stop, I'll pick it up." Sakakihara was defeated and stretched out his hand to signal. Poor, who could let himself owe her.

Tianhai Qimingyue took the water he handed her, stared at her transparent reflection in the cup for a while, then placed it directly on her right hand side and continued reading.

"You... don't drink?" Sakakibara asked in surprise.

"I just said 'pour water', I didn't say I wanted to drink."

"Then you are deliberately causing trouble for me?"

Tianhai Qimingyue did not answer, her eyes were locked on the book, and two strands of hair hung down to her chest under the dress.
