The voice became quieter as they went on, and Beren turned his head away.

“It’s because…”

Shilok touched his head embarrassedly, and after polishing up the matter, he figured out the key points.

Beren sat by the bed and listened to him patiently, with an incredible expression on his face:

"....Your luck is really bad."

"If this hadn't happened, Belen wouldn't have come into the room to look for me. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"Fool."

Beren stared at Shilok, his eyes serious and worried.

"I know. I'll be careful. But I can't control my luck."

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Shilok stopped joking.

Beren wanted to pinch his face, but when he thought that his body was still recovering, he was about to put down his outstretched hand.

"Thank you, Belen."

"—!"

Shilok took the initiative to grab Beren's hand, catching her off guard.

The warm body temperature of the human being was transferred to his body, making it very hot.

"I'm really glad you came to see me."

".....Yes, I even gave up my shopping time to come and see you. You must get better tomorrow."

This was a lie. After work, Belén usually either went home or hung out in a coffee shop.

"If we could have skin-to-skin contact like this every day, I hope to get sick every day."

"Stop being so verbose."

When the other party said this, Beren felt that the other party was not the pure and lovely long-haired princess, but Shilok.

"Okay, lie down and go to sleep. A patient should behave like a patient. This time you will probably be completely well when you wake up."

"oh....."

Beren laid him down on the bed, and just as he was about to leave, he found that his hand was still being held.

"Can you please stay with me until I fall asleep?"

How can I say no when you make such a lonely expression?

"....Anyway, I don't have anything to do this afternoon, uh, no, anyway, I'm free..."

Beren lamented that he was such a pushover.

"Okay. I'll stay with you."

Use your free right hand to gently touch Shilok's white forehead.

"I'll be here before dinner, and when no one comes in... They say people's personalities change when they're vulnerable, and you've become more spoiled too."

Beren smiled happily, as if he had found Shilok's weakness.

"I just think that in this situation, I can touch Belén's hand and hold hands successfully. Wow! It's really a win."

"You... don't have to be so honest."

Beren squeezed hard.

"it hurts...."

Seeing him say that, she relaxed her grip, and felt Shilok's gentle counter-grip.

--------

at dusk.

Because of the school club activities, Hill returned home later than usual.

"elder brother!"

After changing clothes, I went straight to Shilok's room.

The casserole had been taken away by the mother. She lay beside Shilok's bed, rubbing Shilok's white hair.

Compared to this morning, Shilok looked much better and slept very soundly.

Looking at the battery of the MS handheld game console, it didn't consume much, which made Hill feel a little regretful.

"You have to get well soon. Hill still has a lot of games to play with his brother, and he also wants to go to the dungeon with his brother..."

She spoke gently, lifting up Shilok's bangs.

Hill leaned down and put his face close to Shilok.

Chirp.

She kissed his cheek softly, leaving a mark.

She touched her lips, stood up contentedly, and prepared to go back to her room to play games.

"do not go..."

"what?"

Shilok grabbed Ciel's arm.

"Brother? Are you awake? Hill's kiss just now was an encouraging kiss, a reward for the increase in intimacy. I hope brother will get better soon--"

"Beren...don't go..."

Hill froze for a moment.

"Who is Beren?"

There was a chill in his tone, the light in his eyes became dark and complicated, and there was an icy expression on his face.

"It sounds like a woman's name."

94. Hallway Meeting 2.0

Ding-dong-

The doorbell rang.

Press three times and pause, don't press too quickly.

Hill gently put down Shilok's hand and left the room.

It's not so much about wanting to open the door.

Rather, it was her intuition as a girl that was ringing a bell.

Bad feeling....

Enemy attack.

The one who would come at such a time would not be her friend Lei who was good at RTS and was in the badminton club, nor would it be a shady salesman selling fire extinguishers.

"Just let Hill open the door! Dad, you continue eating!"

"If they are salesmen, it's okay to just kick them out. But your mother..."

Claude was halfway there when he was pushed back by Hill who intercepted him.

When Hill hurried to the entrance, what came into view was the back of his mother Cohen——

"Ah! Good evening."

Cohen's voice sounded surprised, and she was facing the two people outside the door.

She hugged a girl with orange ponytails in a bear hug.

".....Long time no see, Brid. When I saw you before, you were only half my height, but now you are as tall as me."

"Ugu! Long time no see, Coen... Sister Coen."

Brid hastily changed her words mid-sentence.

Come to think of it, my mother doesn't seem to like people saying she's old.

"So, who is this...?"

Cohen's eyes turned to another person.

Hill found the right moment to join the fight and hugged Cohen from behind.

"Oh! Sister Brid! Are you here to play? This must be Brother Cass, right? Are you here to look for Brother Shilok?"

"Hey, Hill."

If possible, she didn't want these two people to come in and visit her brother.

Blue hair, always meticulously dressed, exuding the aristocratic temperament of an upper-class person, plus a handsome face that makes people angry...

If you have these characteristics, that person is Cass.

Hill heard this from Shilok.

Now my brother is in a state of white hair and sickness, and the buff aura of "Boy Killer" has reached a new level. We can't let him deceive other men again.

But since Cass came to visit my house, maybe the deception has been successful...

"Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Cass Benol. I'm Shilok's classmate...friend."

Cass was polite and these words came out of his mouth so naturally, but he muttered softly:

".....Aren't Shilok's parents divorced? A remarried family?"

Uh, my brother is actually close to him enough to talk about family relationships.

"Hello, hello. Just call me Hill. If you call me Darthway, I won't be able to tell who is who."

Hill kept on smiling innocently, feeling mixed emotions inside.

Brid at the side chimed in for some reason:

"Bride Talos. Silok's childhood sweetheart."

"Sister Brid, there's no need for you to repeat yourself."

"Wait, Cass-boy."

Cohen's attitude was somewhat excited:

"What did you just say?"

"Um....I am Shilok's friend?"

"what!"

After confirming it, Cohen exaggeratedly covered his heart with his hands, looking as if the sky had fallen:

"I can't believe that little Shiloh actually has friends. They're not just fantasies or phone scams, they're real people."

My brother’s friendship credit score is quite low.

Cohen grabbed Cass's shoulders, which frightened Cass.

"Please make sure you keep him as your friend in the future, okay? That guy has never had any friends of the same sex since he was a child. He always locks himself in his room when he gets home. He has become more cheerful recently. We can't let him become a shut-in again."

"I, I understand, Cohen...sister. Shilok and I have a very good relationship, and we will be best friends in the future."

Why is my brother's friend blushing?

A little disgusting.

"You are such a good talker, kid."

Perhaps reacting to the word "sister", Cohen narrowed his eyes into a bow shape, grinned, and looked very pleased.

"Cas, Sister Cohen is like this, very enthusiastic, just get used to it."

Brid was quite calm.

"...So, what are you two doing here so late? If you want to have dinner, Hill can help you prepare the dishes."
