Chapter 3, Unexpected Developments

"Don't just stand there." Mrs. Sakihara said with a smile to the brother and sister who were standing in place.

However, girls should not always have such words as "kill" on their lips

After secretly glancing at Sakihara Raku several times, Sakihara Suzu could no longer hold back and quietly imitated Sakihara Raku's voice, saying: "Ashiya Raku, it is truly wonderful to meet you—hey, hey, it hurts, it hurts..."

Sakihara Raku calmed down a bit and looked at Sakihara Rin's small face, asking: "Why are you spending so much time teasing me?"

Tianhai? ... So familiar, it seems ... The twin girl I bumped into two hours ago also has the surname Tianhai

The two spoke in perfect unison.

Moreover, it is not a matter of who earns more or less. I offered to buy it for you, but you refused. You keep saying that you still want to use the things you bought...

Mrs. Sakakibara was beaming with joy: "A-Le, A-Ling, quickly, introduce yourselves to Uncle Tenkai."

Approximately in their thirties, they appear more like a professional elite based solely on their facial features

Sakihara Raku did not speak

"You earn more than I do as a convenience store employee." Sakihara Raku extended his hand to her again, instantly furrowing his brow, "Hurry up and hand it over."

Come on! Bro, don't just stare blankly!

Only when Sakihara Raku and Sakihara Suzu slowly approached did they begin to carefully observe the unfamiliar man sitting opposite their mother

He supported his forehead and shook his head, taking a full three minutes to regain his composure

She knew she shouldn't laugh, but she simply couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing, "Pfft, what a cheesy line, bro, are you from the Showa era? That's so naive."

Isn't it nice? I specifically practiced for a long time to achieve this energetic and cute style. I didn't expect that you would actually like this kind of thing.

It can be considered somewhat well-known, as its appearance is delicate and cute, attracting a number of fans.

Do not underestimate me

Sakihara Suzu, her younger sister who is more than one year younger than her

Sigh... Although she appears quite proper and beautiful on the outside

New landlord

"Are we moving? When I got home last night, I heard her nagging about this, but we are so poor, what good house can we buy?"

No, it's not necessary. I suddenly appeared, and their expressions are quite normal.

It's nothing much

I also do not know; my mother said she would announce it only after we go over there

Then, I will be brief.

Well, it is this thing

This matter sounds increasingly unfavorable for the library

Now that you mention it, I seem to have seen him before! A rather handsome middle-aged man. What is that mother bringing her boyfriend here for?

Are you still happy? I am truly overjoyed, you know. " Sakakibara Raku punched her on the head, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

The two siblings stood quietly in place, looking at each other, completely unaware of the current situation.

Aren't you angry anymore?" Sakihara Suzu asked cautiously, "I apologize! I will still call you Oniichan!"

What are you afraid of? Sakihara said

Sakihara Raku and Sakihara Suzu had different thoughts in their hearts after hearing the self-introduction of the unfamiliar uncle in front of them

After all, you just had your birthday, so I was thinking of giving you a surprise, letting you experience the taste of love, and not just focus on studying all day! Also, to shoot your arrows.

Ayu Suzu ... ! ... It's gone, first love is just a joke

Don't worry about it

A man is dressed in a minimalist casual outfit, with a tuft of bangs on his forehead, a pen clipped to his chest, and wearing a pair of rimless glasses

How could it possibly be my own younger sister ?

Mom successfully hooked a handsome uncle

Who could have imagined the girl they once admired, fantasized about, and could talk to so easily

No, how could I possibly have work every day? I also need to rest on the weekends. " Sakihara Suzuna made a circular motion with her right hand, finally pinching a circle around her own eyes with her thumb and index finger

Sakihara Raku swung his fist towards her head, forcefully drilling down onto that beret, causing her to plead for mercy in pain

Mrs. Sakakibara wore a sun hat adorned with sunflowers, a khaki knitted cardigan, and a light satin skirt, and even her face was lightly dusted with foundation, clearly having dressed with great care before stepping out.

Consciousness and air had been in a stalemate for a long time ... ... The clamor of the street, the voices of the maid café enticing customers, the sounds of cars driving by ... ... ... continuously swept past his ears, incessantly burrowing into his mind

... ...

Isn't it the exorbitant tuition fees that your mother paid for you that allowed you to get in? What value does your little voice acting bring in terms of credits, honestly

Then go ahead and hit me, that should help relieve your anger, right

Sakihara Suzu made a face at him and asked, "What are you doing with my phone?"

He can also understand A-Ling's original intention

... ...

Standing next to the vending machine by the roadside, Sakihara Raku looked towards the bustling streets of Akihabara ahead: "Let's go to the bookstore, we can catch a train from there."

"I have never seen it before," Sakihara Suzu shook her head, also stating that she did not know.

Tianhai Maodian speaks in a relaxed and casual manner, with a warm smile on his face while talking

A circular open-air café features a row of tables arranged around a curved tempered glass. The outer side is equipped with integrated leather seating, while the inner side is furnished with polished oak chairs. The aisle is flanked by the bar and seating.

The middle-aged man calmly waved his hand, nodded, and smiled at the siblings, saying, "We have met before, right? My name is Takahama Mototaka, I am 42 years old, currently working at the Asuka Law Office in Tokyo, and I am a lawyer"

You—! Despicable

If you ask me, your intuition has never been accurate

I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen

It just broke after I bought it? ! '' Sakihara Suzumi's pupils dilated, unable to believe it

It is truly wonderful to meet you, Ashiya Suiren

"Why do you have to use mine? Didn't you just buy the latest model of the iPhone? Hmph, you don't even care about your dear sister! Buy her one too." Sakihara Suzune's eyes were filled with resentment

And this annoying little sister, still laughing, if she grows up, I will have to hang her up and spank her

I really want to punch this obnoxious girl.

"Do you want to go?" Sakihara Suzu asked

I like you, you big-headed ghost

Sure, hi, she really is a foul girl

I will let you go this time

I had originally prepared a lot to say to you all, and I also prepared gifts... However, it is better to clarify some matters from the very beginning

At first glance, this place may not be very famous, but if it is mentioned as the café where the male protagonist Taki and his senior date in "Your Name," then many people would surely recognize it

You are inherently small

Do not mention this anymore... You actually went so far as to deliberately create a voice to deceive me

To this end, that elusive father secretly took the two siblings to undergo a paternity test once.

That is a gift for Ruri Ashiya, not for you

... ...

Not acceptable

Good fortune ... ...

"Don't you have a mobile phone?" Sakihara Suzu asked in confusion

Hmph, forget it, I won't argue with you. What does Mom want to say? It can't possibly be that scoundrel has returned, right? Hmph, if he comes back, I will kill him!

What?

After all, this concerns two families

After all, this is my first meeting with the illustrated book, so it is certainly necessary to prepare a bit more

The elder brother is still quite attentive

Your response is too perfunctory. Or is it that someone is bullying you, my friend? Just take me along, and we will fight back together! We will give them a good beating for a whole day and night!

Promoted

"You told me not to care? For me, there is only disappointment." Sakihara Yoshi had been holding it in for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh

Sakihara Raku said while operating, "Mom has something important to announce to us, let's go to a coffee shop to find her. I'll search for directions to get there."

Brother, do you still not understand? Luyushu Lingyue is me. In the chat, you even said you have a particularly good feeling about me! Hehe, do you like me?

"So you kept talking about working overtime last week," Sakihara said, then extended her hand towards her, "Give it to me."

Uncle Tianhai

The younger sister knew what he was talking about, and in anger, she stared at him with her purple eyes for quite a while before the conversation returned to the main topic

He crossed his hands on the table, and in an intangible way, his words seemed to possess a persuasive power

Will willーー ! ''

Not helping them with their affairs, yet still being a fraud. Simply not accepting any of them.

Her bright eyes blinked within the circle

Just then, Mrs. Sakihara, who was looking around, spotted the Sakihara siblings not far away. She smiled and waved at them, signaling for them to come over quickly

Of course, most newcomers are usually just playing minor roles

Sakihara Yuki held her breath and then said: "I'm not angry anymore, after all, who would be angry at a little sister who has needed her older brother's help even to urinate since childhood"

Sakihara Raku stopped in his tracks and formally looked at Sakihara Rin, "Do you not have any work at the office today?"

It really is the men that my mother has had contact with

Come here quickly

Sakihara Raku and Sakihara Suzu found their mother sitting inside the café here

Angry, of course angry

It is possible that the person you are currently dating may change in appearance

Sakihara Suzu took two steps back while holding the roses he had just bought, saying, "These were given to me by my little Lele."

I don't know if she took the wrong medicine, but she actually has natural violet eyes

That is how it is

I have already married your mother, Ms. Sakakibara

It's nothing, just calling out to you

Brother, were you surprised? Sakihara Rin stood with her hands behind her back, looking at his face from the side

It took a long time for Yuuka Sakihara to accept the appearance of the girl in front of her after she removed the cat mask.

However, even if it is the new landlord, there is no need to call us over as well..." Sakihara Suzu said softly to her brother

"Xiao, Xiao Lele..." Sakihara Raku was left speechless, "I didn't say I wanted you, I just need to use your phone for a moment."

"Are you angry?" she asked cutely

Concerning two families, making adequate preparations, lawyers

As I lifted my head again, I gazed at the adorable little face beneath the beret, displaying an expression of indifference and helplessness

Sakakibara Suzu held a half-finished milk tea in one hand, while with the other hand, she brought the bouquet of roses in her arms to her nose and took a sniff, saying with considerable delight: "These roses are quite fresh; they must have cost a fair amount."

I truly thank you!

What are you doing

What is this all about

"Cut it out," Sakakibara Suzu crossed her arms and disdainfully glanced away, "Someone whose hourly wage is less than 1000."

Do you still know pain? Is it right or wrong

A first-year high school student, a newcomer in the voice acting industry for nearly two years, has voiced in over ten anime productions.

"What are you selling, cuteness?" Sakihara Raku directly threw the rose in his hand at her head, held his forehead, and turned to leave

Sakakibara Raku's expression was calm

Looking back now, for this past month, Sakihara Suzu has been hiding behind her phone, laughing so hard that her stomach is in stitches

You don't want to use me as practice material again, do you

Brother

Isn't it very accurate

Enough already, I don't have the time to waste discussing these trivial matters with you

Hey! Don't go! Sakihara Suzu became anxious, quickly hugging the rose above her head, and hurriedly followed him.

He paused for a second at this point, his gaze fixed intently on the Sakihara siblings sitting opposite him

that is the gesture of "ok"

But once I get home, I actually feel extremely lazy

This girl is quite mischievous; during her junior high school years alone, she has no idea how many male classmates she has deceived into offering tributes to her big uncle.

How could one possibly know to speak of such clichéd matters

To be honest, he has been quite happy over the past month

Sakihara Rakuya was too lazy to scold her

The beret, short hair, pleated skirt, and a loose jacket draped over her arm define her style, complemented by a pair of unique purple eyes

Sakakibara Suzu, upon noticing her brother's unfriendly gaze, quickly composed herself, stood up straight, puffed out her flat chest, and pretended as if nothing had happened

Not knowing why, Sakihara Raku felt that in front of Amami Maki, at this moment, the air was as tranquil as the instant a gavel strikes.

Opposite her, there was a middle-aged man who appeared to be of a similar age.

She has always harbored deep resentment towards her father who left home

With your short arms and thin legs, you still want to fight? Just forget it

Could it be that... my mother is seeing another boyfriend outside...? Why do I feel like he looks a bit familiar

Sakihara was filled with dark thoughts.

It is broken

"Who is that?" Sakihara asked quietly, looking across.

Sakihara Suzu held a rose and replied somewhat discontentedly: "Who is teasing you? I’ve already said that you stay at home every day studying, your brain is going to be worn out from all that reading. Without me to chat with you, how could you possibly be so happy this month? Is getting into a good university really that important? Why not come and learn to be a voice actor with me? You study so much, and look, I can still get into the same school as you."

With a unique temperament, when I first met him, I thought he was my mother's superior

Why does the mother seem so enthusiastic

That is indeed the case

Then do not speak

Sakihara Suzu pointed her index finger at her right cheek, tilting her head and revealing a smile with a playful "eh heh heh"

How would I know

The National Art Center, Tokyo, is located on the second floor of Roppongi, Tokyo

Sakihara Suzu picked up the card in the middle of the flowers and took a look at it

I have called you here today primarily to announce an important matter, and I hope you can make adequate preparations

This boss lady is also unreliable

What are you saying? Sakihara Raku could not hear her mumbling clearly, and the café maids on the streets of Akihabara were making a tremendous noise with their loudspeakers to attract customers. Her little mouth seemed to be moving, yet it also appeared to be still.

Poverty is only temporary; you will soon have wealth, my brother

Sakihara Suzu displayed a very vulnerable demeanor, pitifully taking out her phone, which was encased in a rabbit shell, from her waist pocket and handing it to him, then turning her face away and murmuring softly

Brother, you should be happy! Other younger sisters all dislike their older brothers, but I am the only one who will come to cheer you up when you are buried in your studies and life has no joy!

I was wrong, I was truly wrong

Sakakibara Suzu's short hair looks a bit more serious. "I, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that what you said sounds like both a rose and a message for someone else, it's always so clichéd, but as a girl, I still feel a bit..."
