Aside from that first meeting, they basically had no contact with each other.

They are siblings, but they act like strangers.

Horikita Manabu knew very well that he was the one avoiding the other person.

Is it because she can't figure out how to get along well, or because she doesn't know what kind of attitude she should have when they meet?

As a result, the two of them did indeed become like strangers.

This was his mistake.

He thought he knew his sister very well. When he saw her long hair on the day she started school, he felt that he already knew that his sister had not grown up at all, just like before.

But... it seems, now.

It's a little different now.

It's not about whether or not you're making a bad joke.

It's not about how you treat yourself, but about your attitude towards yourself.

She seems to have lost that... simplicity she used to have.

In the past, Horikita Suzune seemed to have all her thoughts tangled together on a single thread, with all her ideas running parallel along this thread.

It's different now.

Now she seems to be starting, well, imitating someone's way of thinking.

Is this what you call growing up?

Horikita Manabu didn't know.

He had nothing to say.

He could only glare at Asakusa Tetsu with a hostile look before letting out a long sigh.

“You’ve grown up,” he said.

That was all he could say.

If he didn't say anything to let go, even if Suzune didn't say anything, Asakusa Tetsu, who was already smiling and accepting his gaze, would probably speak up.

If he were to actually say something that would raise one's blood pressure...

...Hori Kita Manabu really didn't know what to do.

It's almost graduation time.

My own future, and my sister's future.

How to choose.

"Don't overthink it." As his thoughts were turning, Asakusa Tetsu, who hadn't said much until now, finally spoke. The moment his words fell, he patted Horikita Manabu on the shoulder: "It'll give you a headache."

...As far as I can remember...

He said something similar last year.

Asakusa Tetsu placed his left hand on Horikita Manabu's shoulder, and his right hand naturally rested on Horikita Suzune's shoulder.

For some reason, Horikita Manabu seemed to see a fleeting glint of light reflected from his right hand.

Or water stains.

"Rinne must have made the right choice, because behind that choice is me."

"Whether she grows or changes, it doesn't really matter anymore," he said. "The moment she chose me, it was already irrelevant."

These were very confident words.

It was a very self-persuasive argument.

It had absolutely no persuasive effect whatsoever.

"...I still have to attend the teacher appreciation banquet."

Horikita Manabu glanced at Asakusa Toru's hand on his shoulder, gently patted it off, and said.

"I hope you won't do anything to upset Rin."

After leaving behind those words, Horikita Manabu turned and left.

Horikita Suzune didn't stop him anymore.

Instead, he raised his leg and stomped hard on Asakusa Tetsu's foot.

"I already said I came to see my brother, what are you doing!"

She spoke her complaint in a low voice.

It wasn't because of what Asakusa Tetsu said.

It was because of his hands.

"It even got on my clothes!" Horikita Suzune glared at Asakusa Tetsu, pulling at her clothes by the shoulder and turning her head to look at the water stain.

All kinds of styles.

Asakusa Tetsu simply let her step on him, and as she spoke, he gazed in the direction Horikita Manabu had left, waiting for a moment.

"Is it alright?" he finally asked.

"......It doesn't matter."

After a moment of silence, Horikita Suzune shook her head.

“My brother was destined never to accept me; I knew that from the beginning,” she said. “Because I probably won’t change much in my life and will never become the Horikita Suzune he expects.”

So, it's okay.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have had the chance to drag Asakusa Tetsu into this farce.

“Of course, I will not become the Horikita Suzune you expect.” After a moment’s pause, she put her hands through Asakusa Tetsu’s arms and hugged him from the front. Horikita Suzune said softly, “I will only be myself.”

"This was agreed upon from the beginning."

Horikita Suzune doesn't actually have any deep-seated issues.

However, before parting, she felt that there was no need to hide it from her brother.

Even though Asakusa Tetsu was about to leave the school soon.

Even if she's actually hiding something and doesn't say anything, that's fine too.

...The only thing we should hope for.

It would probably be after Asakusa Tetsu leaves school, if he were to meet his brother again.

Hopefully, this won't be too shocking for my brother.

That's it.

Chapter 300 Hello, this is the God of the New World

After seeing Horikita Manabu off.

Although he will stay at the school until the end of the month.

But in any case, they were sent away.

To put it bluntly, this conversation was a complete mess in Asakusa Tetsu's eyes.

Besides allowing Horikita Suzune to see, quite unusually, that her brother genuinely cared about her, confirming that he wasn't as cold as she had imagined.

The rest of the conversations were all random and nonsensical.

Whether it's Horikita Suzune or Asakusa Tetsu himself.

but......

Who cares?

Let's just do whatever we want, let's just do whatever we want.

With this last remaining issue resolved, he should start writing in his diary.

Although one can write a diary anywhere, Asakusa Tetsu wanted to put some thought into this last diary entry from Advanced Nurturing.

So he went back to his room.

Then......

"...Why are you all here?"

He then saw the women filling his room.

Kikyo Kushida lay sprawled on his bed; Hiyori Shiina sat at his desk; Megumi Karuizawa looked in the bathroom mirror; Airi Sakura squatted in the corner of the bed, clutching her sheets and pillow, breathing heavily; Masumi Kamuro and Mio Ibuki gazed into the distance from the balcony; and Honami Ichinose sat on the floor, seemingly chatting with Chihiro Shiranami.

And, for some reason, Sakayanagi Arisu started doing the splits on the floor.

Looking at Sakayanagi Arisu, Asakusa Toru couldn't help but think of that resilience.

Logically speaking, people who don't exercise for a long time should have stiffer bodies and their ligaments should be under tension for a long time, so even a slight stretch would cause excruciating pain.

But Sakayanagi Arisu is different.

Little Alice is so soft.

As long as her heart can handle it, she will try her best to do whatever position is asked of her.

Because she also wanted to try and see where her physical limits really were.

...Let's put the issue of physical flexibility aside for now.

The nine girls gathered in a small bedroom, which inevitably made the whole room look extremely crowded, especially with Horikita Suzune following beside her.

That makes ten people.

Before he knew it, he seemed to have become entangled with at least ten girls.

Half of them were his readers, holders of copies of his diary, and readers of the diary.

The remaining half are relationships formed by various reasons, involving mutual needs, mutual demands, and mutual satisfaction.

Let's go back to the original question.

Why are they crowding here?

"I opened the door." Ichinose Honami raised her hand and was the first to explain.

She has a key to her room.

Although I've never used it, handing over the room key card itself represents a certain level of trust.

Toru Asakusa never expected that she would use a key for the first time at this time.

"I want to see Tetsuya." Shiraha Chihiro smiled at him.

The little mascot didn't have any special reason; it just came because it wanted to see him.

She had originally planned to wait at the door, but since Ichinose Honami was there, she went inside with her.

Otherwise, it would be too conspicuous for everyone to crowd in the corridor.

"I want it."

Without getting up at all, Kikyo Kushida rolled over, turned around, and pulled up a corner of her skirt, revealing its charm, and said the most direct thing.

Although there were already two people there when she arrived, it didn't matter; she didn't care.

"Me too..." Sakura Airi whispered as she poked her head out.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt the number of people around her increase, and feeling slightly uncomfortable, she buried her head back into the pillow.

Take a deep breath.

He let out a silly laugh.

"I... wanted to give Tetsu a surprise or something..." Karuizawa Megumi, her makeup looking radiant, said, fiddling with her hair as she pried open the bathroom door.

She arrived after Kikyo Kushida and Airi Sakura.
