If I don't capture the girl, I will die

Kasumigaoka Utaha stared blankly at the soft fluorescent light above her head.

Suddenly I want to sleep so much.

If this were a dream, I should be able to be frank, right?

"Brother, when will you come back?"

"Brother, you should have finished school a long time ago, where have you been?"

"Brother, are you dating another woman? Which woman?"

"elder brother……"

Walking on the bustling streets of Tokyo, Ji Qi's face looked a little abnormal as he looked at the text messages coming one after another on his mobile phone.

As they spend the past few days together discussing game matters, Sagiri is becoming less and less interested in her previous goddess image towards him.

Just a normal sister who likes to cling to people!

But it remains the same for others for now...

But this is a good start!

It turned out that the decision to make games was the right one.

I hope that by this time next year my sister will be able to get over the knot and go to school.

It's not about asking her to study something or get a degree, it's just about letting Sagiri interact with others.

This won't work for many years.

This feeling of being both a mother and a father is really...

I have to say, 'brother' is such a great title.

Just saying it out loud will give people a feeling of care and love, and can provide the other person with shelter from the wind and rain.

Especially coming from a very lovable sister like Sagiri.

No, no, I can't think about it anymore.

Feeling that his thoughts were becoming increasingly unsatisfactory, Ji Qi quickly stopped his wandering thoughts.

At this time, you can just catch the last tram.

The reason I came was because Shiyu was sick and it was urgent.

There are not so many requirements when going back.

You have to spend your money sparingly.

"I am back."

When they got home, Ji Qi said lazily.

Just as he was about to go to the kitchen, his cell phone rang again.

"Come up quickly!"

My eyes subconsciously turned to the ceiling.

Ji Qi thought about what Sagiri wanted to talk to him about, and then gave up thinking for a few seconds.

do not know.

Sagiri's thoughts are even harder to guess than Kasumigaoka Utaha's.

Because she is shy.

As soon as I walked up to the second floor, the door opened directly.

The first thing you see is a pair of clear blue eyes. Paired with blue pajamas, the whole person looks like an elf in a lake.

She had a slightly chubby face, and when she saw Ji Qi, her cheeks puffed up immediately, making her look even cuter.

"Brother, where have you been?"

Her voice was slightly higher than before, and she spoke clearly, word by word.

Ever since she learned that the gaming club had only female members, her sense of crisis had never been higher.

Incomprehensible.

Very confused.

When did her brother become so popular?

Even though she doesn't understand, she won't give up now!

"A classmate was sick, and I just went to take care of him."

Ji Qi turned his head away uncomfortably, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, Ji Qi did not use the nickname "she".

Why should he feel guilty?

There is absolutely no reason. Why not just tell the truth?

Sagiri's pretty white face quickly fell.

What, what!

Which woman?

Kasumigaoka Utaha? Or the one called something like Hui...

As for Eriri Sawamura, she was completely ignored by Sagiri.

After several days of indirect investigation, she discovered that the relationship between Himeshichi and Sawamura Eriri was the most ordinary.

The remaining two were the ones that made her feel like she was facing a formidable enemy.

Staring at Ji Qi with an extremely suspicious look, Izumi Sagiri was suddenly stunned.

"Why do I feel like my brother has changed a little today...?"

"What has changed?"

"do not know."

Staring at Ji Qi, Sagiri bit her cherry lips lightly with her pearly teeth, trying hard to describe this feeling, but still couldn't say it...

When she meets her brother normally, it's just the two of them, so her presence is pretty normal.

So Sagiri didn't say it as accurately as Shiyu.

"Really? I will always like Sagiri, and that won't change."

Ji Qi, who had roughly understood what was going on, raised his head, smiled at his silver-haired loli sister, and said something that could easily be misunderstood by others.

The fact that the other person could notice this subtle change just shows that she cares about me very much, doesn't it?

This is something to be happy about.

As soon as she finished speaking, Sagiri's face suddenly turned red, and her petite body trembled as if an electric current had passed through it. She was so shy that her brain went blank.

I don't even know what to do.

moment.

There was a snap.

The door is closed.

"Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid!!"

A shy voice with a hint of crying came through the door.

埃？

Did he say something wrong?

Isn't that how it's written in novels and animations?

Since he had never had any family before, let alone a younger sister, Ji Qi was confused as he thought that this was how he should get along with his younger sister.

Forget it.

Ji Qi looked at the time and went to cook for his sister.

After he left, Sagiri squatted by the door with her little head buried in her knees, and she could still feel her pretty face flushed.

"Now that we have the evidence, you can't regret it now, okay...Brother?"

Where Ji Qi couldn't see, Sagiri smiled.

A truly brilliant smile.

……

Chapter 106 What is Love

The next day.

The weather is calm and sunny.

Spring blossoms.

Ji Qi held the single volume of "Love Metronome" in his hand, stood in front of a conspicuous building at the station, and waited boredly.

There was a surge of people next to the station.

A whole day has passed, and Shiyu's physical condition should be much better today.

Before the agreed time arrived, Shiyu's beautiful and tall figure appeared in Ji Qi's sight.

The white tight dress seemed to emphasize her body curves, and a small cross pendant hung on her beautiful swan-like neck, which made her look more generous and elegant. Today, she did not wear the iconic black stockings, but her uncovered legs looked quite charming.

After just a quick glance, Ji Qi withdrew his gaze and waved to the other party.

After being together for so long, he has become immune to Shiyu's beauty.

When everyone's attention came to him, the first thing Ji Qi asked when they met was: "Are you feeling better?"

"Ah."

Feeling the astonished gazes of the people around her, Kasumigaoka Utaha pursed her lips and spoke softly.

Everyone around me is paying attention to my appearance, only you care about my body.

"That's good. By the way, the venue for your book signing event is still the same bookstore I attended last time. It seems that Editor Machida and Ms. Kagurazaka decided it."

The two of them were walking on the sidewalk lined with cherry trees. Ji Qi took the initiative to speak.

After this, there was no need to hide anything.

He originally wanted to give the other party a surprise...

“…Should I thank them?”

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head with a smile on her perfect face.

She understood why they did this almost instantly.

Surprisingly, I didn't feel any resentment inside.

The time now is half past eight.

To be honest, although he wanted to come, there wasn't much Ji Qi could do.

The girl looked much better and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her.

What a waste.

Ji Qi sighed secretly, this didn't seem like an opportunity to successfully conquer Shiyu.

When I arrived at the Chiba Bookstore where I was last time, there was not much change in the staff, it was still the same few people.

This gave Ji Qi the illusion of reliving the last book signing event again.

When we got to the second floor, even the seats were the same.

Kasumigaoka Utaha sat on the chair, looking a little dazed.

She started thinking about a question since Ji Qi left yesterday.
