That person... why did he come back suddenly?

——This question bothered Suzu Sakakihara all afternoon.

In the afternoon, when I was practicing dancing in front of myself in the mirror in the dance studio, Wei, the seniors from Jiuhua also reminded me a lot.

Even though Sakakihara Suzu knew that her brother, Qiyue Liuli and others were watching her dance, her mind was completely focused on this issue.

There was a series of mistakes in one of her moves midway, and Futoshiin Harumi, who was in charge of the team's lead dance, noticed her state. After it was over, while the other three were chatting, she sat next to Sakakibara Suzu and said to her in a very calm and low voice:

"The time has been finalized. We will go to the martial arts hall next week."

"Um..."

"Is Ling worried about what happened just now?"

"...Senior, have you noticed?"

Futoshiin Harumi didn't speak, just nodded.

Sakakihara Suzu glanced outside the practice room. The place where her brother, Yuki Yuki and the others were standing was already empty.

The senior's kind and weak voice of inquiry rang in my ears again.

"What are you thinking now?"

"Whatever I think... I feel a bit... unbelievable... Harumi-senpai, you don't know, he won the jackpot when I was five years old, so he gave up my brother and my mother. After that, our whole family

I rely on my mother and my brother to support me until now. In my mind, this guy has been dead for a long time...but now...he has come back again."

"Hate him?"

"I must hate it...Who would like to be abandoned or something? But I am also glad that he is gone now. I still have my mother and my brother...There are some things I don't like to say to outsiders.

... But really, I love my brother very much... He has been supporting me from behind, and I can persist until now... When I was a voice actor, I was left out and ignored at the beginning... It's all common.

matter."

Sakakihara Suzu's voice became quieter and quieter as she spoke.

"I just feel... we are all relatives, why is there such a big gap? My brother has always been thinking about me, but that bastard came back just because he wanted to ask me for money..."

Futoshiin Harumi hugged her legs, rested her head on her knees, and looked sideways at the troubled girl with slightly green hair next to her:

"So it's the huge gap between Ling's biological father and your brother that makes you feel empty, right?"

"...Yeah...yes. When I see that bastard's face, I think of the days when my brother gave me everything, and I feel aggrieved for my brother...if only he had a little conscience.

If so...my brother and my mother won't have such a hard life..."

"Well..." Futoshiin Harumi looked like she was thinking for a moment, "Since Suzu always thinks about the past, why not go back tonight and have a good talk with your brother?"

"Speak...what can you say?"

"Let's talk about what happened today and ask him what he thinks. Also, aren't you going to perform on stage? I saw that your brother came over just now to watch you practice and you didn't resist. You were really looking forward to letting him see you standing.

Performing on stage?"

Sakakihara Suzu's face suddenly turned red when she saw through her thoughts. She also hugged her legs together with her hands and buried her cheeks in them:

"... He used to say that I was too stupid to dance and so on... I have this idea... I definitely still have it..."

"But you're embarrassed to tell others?"

"Isn't this...isn't this of course...it's so big now, no one...no one wants to be known by others and still expects to be noticed by his brother..." Sakakihara Suzu's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke,

Until he muttered faintly.

"I think bells like this are cute."

"Huh? Why...you say that?"

"It's very rare, and there are almost no brothers and sisters who have such a good relationship now. In my memory, brothers and sisters of our age basically ignore each other. My sister locks the door of her room when she comes home, and my brother basically ignores her.

..Ling wants your brother to pay attention to you so much. Doesn’t this mean that you two are very important to each other? You should cherish it."

Do you cherish it...

Sakakihara Suzu buried her head, her hair on her temples still a little wet from the dance practice just now.

Inexplicably, the image of my brother leaving the UK forever came to mind.

he left.

Raise yourself until you can take charge of your own life and then leave.

Obviously this didn't happen, but when Suzu Sakakihara thought about the possibility that he might actually leave not long ago, she felt extremely sad.

Don't want him to leave.

I also want to eat the super delicious dinner he made.

When I want to have nothing to do, I run up behind him, put my arms around his neck, and shout things like "Brother, I want to go out and play".

Compared to a certain shameless bastard, this bastard is really good.

"Um!"

"Huh?" Futoshiin Harumi saw Sakakihara Suzu suddenly raised her head, looking full of energy.

"I'll talk to my brother when I get home! Senior, I'm well rested now, let's continue practicing!"

...

*

Dance practice lasted until 6pm.

At 6:15, when the sun had just set halfway, Sakakibara Suzu waved goodbye to several seniors, Tiano and the others.

She hailed a taxi on the side of the road, went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of snacks and drinks, and then went to a nearby izakaya to buy a lot of roasted bird skewers, and then took the car back home.

.

It was almost seven o'clock when I got home.

She habitually opened the door with the key and shouted "I'm back" when changing her shoes. Within a moment, her brother's somewhat lazy "Welcome home" came from the living room.

Sakakihara Suzu smiled slightly.

Welcome home.

It is obviously something I hear often, but why does it sound sweet to me now?

Sakakihara Suzu came to the living room carrying large and small bags of things.

"Why did you buy so many things, Suzu?" Raku Sakakibara, who was busy with dinner in the kitchen, also saw this little green hair on his sister. Today, she was dressed quite cutely and freshly.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sakakihara Suzu raised the plastic bag to her face and laughed: "Buy it and let's eat it together!"

"When did you become so thoughtful? Why did you... buy a barbecue?" Raku Sakakihara saw her other hand.

Sakakihara Suzu also picked it up and shook it, "Hey, isn't it great? Everyone is at home today. I just thought we could sit together and have a good meal together."

If it were my mother, she would definitely complain now, "It's time to have dinner, why are you buying these things?"

But my brother won't.

Sakakibara just glanced at it, and then continued to work on the dishes in his hands:

"Excuse me for bothering you, let me make an exception today and prepare a few more dishes. It just so happens that the ingredients from before are still sitting around uneaten."

"Okay! Then I'll put the things away!"

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

...

Sakakibara Suzu put the snacks and drinks she bought on the side of the coffee table in the living room, only to realize that there was no one in the living room now.

She went back to the corridor and took a look. Qiyue was sitting in her bedroom reading a book. Yuki seemed to be tinkering with her videos, sitting in front of the computer looking quite distressed... Sister Liuli didn't know where she had gone, but she was there anyway.

not at home.

The open kitchen and living room are connected together, which means that in such a large area, the old man is the only one now!

During the rare alone time, Sakakihara Suzu sneaked up behind Sakakihara Raku and watched him handling a piece of fat and thin pork.

The old man is wearing an apron and is very tall.

It looks like a handsome man working hard in the kitchen preparing dinner.

Sakakihara Suzu liked him very much. She looked at him behind her back for a while with her hands behind her back, seeing how busy he was and how serious he was.

This situation didn't end until Raku Sakakihara turned around. He was obviously startled.

"A-Ling, what are you doing standing back there like a ghost?"

Sakakihara Suzu pouted, "You are the ghost! Do you really want your cute little sister to become a ghost?"

Raku Sakakihara was happy when he heard her tone, and then continued to get things from the cupboard behind him, "Hiding behind me sneakily, what is it if it's not a ghost?"

"I was just looking at you," Sakakibara Suzu followed Sakakibara Raku with her eyes, "By the way, why didn't you see Ruri-san?"

"Liu Li went downstairs to buy sugar. We ran out of sugar at home. Yuki really wanted to eat the braised pork I made again. I haven't cooked dinner for everyone seriously for a long time, so... I took advantage of this time to be eaten by my uncle.
