About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

The tense thumb moved backwards without any emotion. Tianhai Jiuliuli opened the long bow with both hands and looked forward along the arrow without any trembling. Her tied long hair swayed slightly with the evening breeze. From the perspective of others, she gave people a focused and calm impression at this moment.

The skin is firm, the hair is shiny, and the spine is straight.

Plain white hakama clothes, black hakama skirt. Although she is quite tall compared to her peers, she still has a girlish look called "youth" in her body.

Letting go of his thumb, the arrow shot out, and the tail of the arrow broke a dark green mark in mid-air.

The sound of a hit is mingled with the sound of the wind blowing the grass.

The next moment after hitting the target, Tianhai Jiuliuli put down the long bow.

She maintained the ceremonial movements of archery to the last step until she raised her head and looked to the sky.

Thick clouds covered the evening sky, and there was a slight coolness in the air.

It was about to start raining, and at this time, the archery club had already finished its usual activities and was deserted.

Tianhai Jiuliuli walked alone to the mound with the target, and collected the bows and arrows on the target one by one. She took the bow and arrows back into her arrow box, and another person was busy putting back some public items that the new members of the Kyudo Club had not packed away. After she changed into her school uniform, she walked out of the dressing room.

She cast her gaze on the lawn in front of the dojo. The raindrops fell on the top, splashing out small water stains, and the water droplets fell from the sky.

Tianhai Jiuliuli carried his long bow bag and his schoolbag, and wanted to walk back to the teaching building quickly, but when he arrived under the eaves in front of the wooden sign that said "Mingde Yishu Archery Department", the rain suddenly became heavier.

She couldn't help but stop, stretched out her hand to catch the raindrops like arrows, and looked up at the sky.

"It's raining"

The girl in Western-style school uniform lifted her backpack, opened the buckle on her back, and took out her mobile phone from inside.

Press the power button and the screen will light up. Find the phone number with the note [July] and dial it.

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the rain. In the sound of rain mixed with the school bell, she only heard the female voice announcing "You are in arrears" from the phone.

She put her phone away.

I can only stare blankly at the rain.

The rain wetted the eaves bit by bit, and even the uppers of the leather shoes were covered with droplets of water. The cold wind in the rain made the exposed skin of the arms feel cold. In the chilly rainy day, even the dusk in the evening was getting darker and darker with the beating of raindrops.

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked at the raindrops with growing anxiety, as if the bow bag on her shoulder bag was a little heavier.

She stretched out her hand again and felt the size of the raindrops again. At the same time, she visually measured the distance to the teaching building and estimated her running speed with her bow bag and schoolbag on her back.

It seems that I have to get soaked all over before I can run to the teaching building.

——Tianhai Jiuliuli came to this conclusion in his heart.

She took back her hands that were wet by raindrops and prepared to rush towards the heavy rain. But just as she stood up, her body was interrupted by a voice behind her.

"You will definitely catch a cold if you rush out."

Tianhai Jiuliuli stopped the steps he was about to take, and even swayed slightly because his movements were suddenly interrupted.

She raised her head again and saw Raku Sakakibara behind her, holding an umbrella and standing next to the wooden sign of "Meitoku Kyūdo Club".

He was carrying his schoolbag on one shoulder and smiled softly at himself who had just stood upright in the rain.

The moment she saw him suddenly appearing behind him holding an umbrella, Tianhai Jiuliuli froze.

"elder brother?"

"Why are you so surprised? I saw it was going to rain and your phone couldn't be reached. Isn't it normal for me to give you an umbrella?"

"Ah, no, no," Tianhai Jiuliuli blocked her shoulder bag in front of her skirt, "I'm just curious as to why you suddenly appeared just now."

"I've been here for a long time, and I've been watching you from behind."

"Why didn't I notice?"

"I don't know about that. Maybe you're looking at the rain too intently."

Raku Sakakihara approached her holding an umbrella. Raindrops passed by in front of his eyes. Tianhai Jiuliuli noticed that he was coming, lowered his head slightly and hid in the umbrella.

The moment he approached, the cold wind blowing from the right was also blocked by him, which made Tianhai Jiuliuli couldn't help but take a curious look at his face.

His eyes were on the hand holding the umbrella and holding the bag, moving closer to his face.

"Give me the bow bag and schoolbag you are carrying on your back. You can take this, the hot milk tea I bought for you on the way."

"No, no need, I'll help you get it, brother."

"How can you drink easily while holding something? Bring the thing and I will help you."

"."

After only a few words were exchanged, Tianhai Jiuliuli saw that he took the bow bag off his shoulder with his other hand and put it on his shoulder, almost without giving him any room to refuse.

"Give me your schoolbag too."

"No need for that. Brother, you still need to hold an umbrella."

"You will feel better if you don't have anything to drink, right? Bring it, it's not like I can't lift it."

Then, he also carried his schoolbag over.

Umbrella, bow bag, backpack, shoulder bag, even from a distance you can feel the weight he carries. Not to mention standing under the same umbrella with him at such a close distance.

Tianhai Jiululi felt the temperature of the hot milk tea in her hand through the cup wall, and became a little absent-minded.

"Come on, let's go to the station together."

"Um"

The raindrops were hitting the umbrella, and the road under my feet was wet and slippery.

Walking down the Ginkgo Slope with him under the same umbrella, Tianhai Jiuliuli held the hot side of the milk tea cup with both hands. She only felt that since she had the temperature conveyed between her palms, even her shoulders that had subconsciously shrunk due to the cold wind also felt... It got warm.

The girl lowered her head and saw his hand holding the umbrella again, as well as her shoulder bag he was holding.

Pat pat pat, the raindrops hit the umbrella, and at the same time, there was the sound of his footsteps walking on the road.

Should I help my brother carry something?

Shouldn't we just leave everything to him?

You came here to pick me up so late because you knew it was going to rain, so you took the bus here, right?

Have you eaten yet?

My brother should be preparing meals at this time, right?

I usually prepare dinner at home during this time, and then wait for Suzu-chan and I to get home, and we all eat together at home.

Now because I saw it was going to rain, I called myself in advance. After finding out that he couldn't get through to his phone, that's why my brother specifically put down his work to pick up my call, right?

Why doesn't the seventh moon come?

It was obviously the same when she came.

Or is it that my brother just wants to pick me up by himself?

Indescribable emotions swayed in her heart, and the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella above her head disrupted Tianhai Jiuliuli's thoughts. She turned her head several times to look at Sakakihara Raku's side face, and what she always saw was his eyes looking at the front seriously in the rain and under an umbrella.

"Liu Li doesn't want to drink?"

"ah?"

Sakakibara pointed at the milk tea she had been holding in her hand for a long time.

"This," Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at him and put the milk tea in front of his face, "I think this is quite warm when I hold it, so I keep holding it in my hand."

"Is it warm? It will probably taste warmer when you drink it."

Tianhai Jiuliuli looked back, lowered her face, and her sky-blue eyes saw some water drops lifted up by her small leather shoes. She reached out and lifted the hair beside her ears, "Actually, I'm a little reluctant to drink it. inside"

Sakakihara smiled at her hesitant little face and said, "Liuri, don't tell me that you were warmed by my behavior of coming out to pick you up."

"It's good to be warm in the first place." Tianhai Jiuliuli turned his attention to the lily of the valley bracelet on his wrist, "Brother is so busy on weekdays now and has so many things to do. This time must be Prepare dinner at home? But even though you are so busy, you still notice the weather, think about calling me, put down what you are doing, and catch the bus to pick me up from school."

Her voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke.

"It's actually very troublesome to do these things."

"Then what are we now?"

"Girlfriends and boyfriends in a relationship"

Tianhai Jiuliuli murmured in a low voice, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught sight of his arm that was leaning towards her.

The girl raised her eyes and stared at him.

"What else are you looking at? Since we are boyfriend and girlfriend, Liuli, why don't you stand outside like that and come over and hold hands?"

"Hold hands."

"Liu Li?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli pursed her lips, feeling entangled with an inexplicable emotion in her heart, and finally took the initiative to put her hand in his arm.

"Liu Li is in a very bad mood today."

"Did brother see it?"

"I'm holding hands and my face is red. Is there something wrong?" Sakakihara smiled again, with a hint of teasing her in it.

"There's definitely nothing wrong, okay."

"Then why are you blushing? Look, your face is still red."

"I'm just, I'm trying to feel it. Didn't I admit it in disguise just now? I like that you are so good to me, brother."

"Where is the best place?" Sakakibara could see that she had a lot to say to him, so he followed her wishes.

"Just now, I was hiding from the rain under the eaves, and my body was chilled by the wind. I thought to myself, 'I can only rush to the classroom to get an umbrella now,' but then brother, you suddenly appeared behind me! Not only did he hold an umbrella, he also smiled at me. At that time, I had a feeling in my heart, a feeling of being cared about. My senses were so sharp that I could even feel the details of you approaching me to block the wind! And then you helped me get things. , give me milk tea, you don’t want me to carry too heavy things. Watching you carry everything on your body, my body suddenly became much more relaxed and warmer."

When Tianhai Jiuliuli said this, his voice lowered, he did not dare to look directly at himself, and even the hand holding the wall of the milk tea cup tightened a lot.

Sakakibara noticed this.

And she deeply understands that Jiuliuli is a girl with a delicate mind. She can feel anything that is good to her and give immediate feedback.

"What do Liuli think of me lately?"

"Recently? Very good," Tianhai Jiuliuli replied without hesitation, "My brother is getting busier and busier, but he is also getting more and more outstanding. Now he handles the affairs of the class properly and manages the new class in order. People. You are also very clean and handsome, and more and more girls are starting to want to follow you, brother. I feel that when I am behind, I have to rely on my brother's back."

Sakakihara Raku sighed as he walked on the street: "What are you talking about relying on? Isn't this all thanks to you, Ruri, who took the initiative to give it up?"

"No," Tianhai Jiuliuli shook his head, "Not at all. These are the things that my brother has worked hard to do. Get up at five o'clock to get dressed, run at 5:20, take a shower at 5:45, study music theory at 6 o'clock, Preparing breakfast and packed lunches at 6:30, preparing homework before going to school at 7:00, and going to school at 7:50 are just preparations before going to school, not to mention a lot of things in the rest of the day. There are even more things. . Sometimes even I start to worry about whether you will be tired and faint again, brother.

"By the way! I also heard what you said to Nishijima-san recently, brother! Even when I heard those words, I couldn't help but think that you, brother, will become the kind of person who is highly anticipated and attracted much attention. , not only in terms of strength and charisma, he is also the kind of person who can lead everyone out of the dark clouds with a smile on his face."

"Oh~~ Xiao Liuli thinks so highly of me?" Walking to a crossroads, Sakakihara smiled happily and deliberately moved his face closer to her. Tianhai Jiuli shyly hid back.

"Please, please don't call me this name. The name Liuli is already a nickname."

"Are you shy?" Sakakihara straightened up again, but couldn't stop smiling.

"Well, are you shy? Lejun shouldn't be the kind of person who bullies girls more when they are shy, right? So, please stop calling me Xiao Liuli." Tianhai Jiuliuli turned sideways, as if before giving a speech on the stage He straightened the red tie at his collar like that, and spoke to him very seriously with his little face.

"Don't you think, Xiao Liuli, that the seriousness you deliberately show at this time is really cute?"

"Please, I told you not to call me this name."

"Okay, okay, I agree, I agree. After all, it is Xiao Liuli's request."

"You still say it!"

"Haha - Hey, don't twist your flesh, it hurts, it hurts, why do you girls like to twist your flesh? I was wrong, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"It's not that Lejun is too bad!" Tianhai Jiuliuli was still very careful to control her strength. After all, she would worry about really hurting him, "Um, are you okay?"

"What do you think, Liuli? Even a grown man like me says it hurts."

".I'm sorry." Tianhai Jiuliuli lowered her eyes with half-closed eyes in front of him, and even the half-drunk milk tea was hugged to her chest.

"Don't really apologize, I was just joking." Sakakibara said quickly. Hearing that her voice had really weakened, he felt sorry for her inexplicably, because Liuli seemed to have always cherished him.

"real.?"

"Really. It just hurts a little bit."

"It's not like Lejun always does mischief."

"Being mean helps the emotional communication between lovers. How about there is a saying that women only like bad men?"

"This sentence doesn't make sense," Tianhai Jiuliuli argued, "but it's only a small bad thing. It's still acceptable."

Chirp.

Sakakibara suddenly kissed Amami Kuruuri's cheek.

"This kind?"

Tianhai Jiuliuli immediately covered the side of his face, and when he turned his head, he saw his smiling face close at hand. Seeing his mouth, Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly realized what he had done in that second, and her cheeks instantly turned red to her ears.

If you ask why, you can't help but feel shy because of being kissed suddenly on the face.

There is also the shyness of standing under the bus stop, being stared at by many, many people.

"you you you."

"Don't tell me Liuli was so anxious that she couldn't speak just because she was kissed on the face."

He was still smiling, and the rain curtain disrupted by the neon lights on the streets of Tokyo continued to fall behind his head. This blurry picture mixed with the sound of rain accentuated his smile, making his smiling cheeks look extremely clear.

Chirp.

Another click.

"Liu Li?"

Then, he shouted his name deliberately and mischievously.

More and more people at the bus stop were looking over, and more and more people were looking at him. Tianhai Jiuliuli was so embarrassed that she directly held her cheeks with her hands. This sudden movement caused the milk tea in his hand to fall. Fortunately, Sakakihara had quick eyes and quick hands, so he put the umbrella on the ground and caught it.

"Mom, the sister over there is so beautiful."

"You can't look! Come and stand over here."

"Why can't you watch?"

"No reason."

He, he, he, how could he do this!

Don’t you know we’re on the street now?

Don't you know there are many people watching the two of you?

I wonder if there are any children brought home by their mothers?

But even though I was so ashamed, so shameful, so shameful, my heart was beating, my brain was heating up, my cheeks were heating up, and even though the thoughts in my heart were in a mess, I didn't feel any dislike for him. On the contrary, On the contrary, you will like him to treat you like this

What are you thinking about?

"Liu Li."

After a long psychological battle, Tianhai Jiuliuli put down the hand covering his face and looked at him with an angry and dissatisfied look: "."

Her eyes seemed to say "too much."

Sakakihara handed the milk tea in his hand back to her: "Just now, some children were praising the blushing Ruri for being beautiful!"

"Also."

Different from her tone when she was shy, her voice at this time was close to the one she usually had when talking to strangers.

Sakakibara now knew that if he continued, Ruri would really be angry with him.

The conversation was interrupted.

The low sound of the engine sounded in the increasingly heavy rain.

The station was illuminated by a beam of light and the bus stopped.

Amami Kuruuri walked up first, followed closely by Sakakibara Raku.

She sat down on the two-person seat at the back of the carriage. After folding his umbrella, Sakakihara Raku came to her seat and sat down on the seat next to her as a matter of course.

"I actually really want to hear you call me 'brother,' Liuli. Onii-sama, Liuli sounds so nice."

"..." Tianhai Jiuliuli didn't reply to him, but pinched her skirt and said, "Why did you do that just now?"

"Why? Ah. Mainly because I want you to feel, Liuli, that I really like you. I like you even when you are shy, and I also like the serious look when you dress tough after being shy."

“So ashamed”

"Isn't he still dead?" Sakakihara handed over the milk tea she drank just now.

"Bad talker." Tianhai Jiuliuli whispered, and then took back the milk tea he gave her.

After the bus started, the carriage began to shake, and their shoulders often bumped into each other.

She was immersed in drinking milk tea, and Sakakihara looked at her long flaxen hair from time to time.

In fact, from a close distance, Jiu Liuli, who usually looks very tall, looks so slender.

Her head swaying slightly as she drank milk tea with the bumps of the bus, giving people a feeling of innocence and youth.

She is young, has firm skin, shiny hair, and a straight upper body.

"Lejun." Tianhai Jiuliuli suddenly put down the milk tea in his hand and said.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know if I should say this now"

"Don't know? Tell me. Only by telling me can I understand your thoughts on a deeper level, Liuli."

Tianhai Jiuliuli's little finger moved on the wall of the milk tea cup, making an inaudible sound. This sound was covered up by the bus engine, just like the feeling she had been afraid to express now, " I want to continue our relationship with the mentality of marrying you, Lejun."

Sakakibara's eyes froze: "Really? Can you tell me why you think so."

"There are too many reasons that can be said, but in fact, to sum up, there are just a few. I like you Lejun, I really like you. When I am with you, I will feel happy, happy, and gain. A sense of security and warmth. Lejun is so good to me. There is no need to list all the people who take care of these things. Lejun only needs to know that I really, really, really like to be with you, that’s all.”

Tianhai Jiuliuli's voice became softer and softer, but also became more and more determined.

She slowly turned towards Sakakibara Raku. When her smiling face faced Sakakibara Raku, it was reflected on the bus window, dimly illuminated by the flickering lights of the shopping street on the street.

"This time, I have too many things to be grateful for. The band and travels along the way have brought a lot of happy emotions to everyone, so I should also grow. Now, I am just like what Lejun said before Like the confident Jiuliuli mentioned above, he bravely expressed his feelings.

"Lejun, I want to continue this relationship with you for the purpose of getting married. Can you promise me?"

The heavy words were received by Sakakihara Raku.

At the same time, I also received Jiuliuli’s sincere attitude and determination to make changes because of herself.

Really? Sure enough, Liuli is such a person.

"So, what do Liuli think of me now?"

"Of course Lejun is a very good person."

Sakakihara closed his eyes, "Yeah. A very good person. Liuli, I have always wanted to be a responsible person, to become less like to avoid things, and less to avoid problems."

"Isn't this kind of Lejun very good?" Tianhai Jiuliuli smiled at him and encouraged him with a smile.

"Yes, it's very good. It's indeed very good. Does Liuli also support me like this?"

"Of course."

Sakakibara took a deep breath and said as if talking to himself, "So, I think I should face up to my own problems and my own thoughts. I originally planned to tell you today."

"Yeah, I'll listen."

Facing the happy Amami Kuriuri, facing the Amami Kuriuri who was waiting for her reply, Sakakihara turned her face away. On this rainy day, in the back seat of the bus, she seriously looked forward to her reply, holding her arms. The girl with half a cup of milk tea said:

"I'm sorry, Liuli, actually, I'm also dating Qiyue now."
