Chapter 27 – After Taking the Certification Exam…(2)

I felt the atmosphere suddenly harden.
My sister’s voice… I was surprised that it was completely different from when he talked to me at home.
Heavy, low… The slight ringing is very intimidating, and the eyes are sharp… The feeling I felt for a moment when I first saw him came out, to the point where I wondered if he was really the younger brother I knew.
Another friend who felt the atmosphere hardened then held out a glass and tried to pass it to me.

“Ah, why is the atmosphere suddenly like this~ Sister, get a drink too. Wow, you are really pretty hey! Can I call you brother-in-law from now on?”
“… What bullshit.”
“Ahaha, haha, ha… No, it’s a joke. A joke. Why, why?”

For some reason… I felt like I could feel the rank of where my younger brother is.
All of the girls were watching their younger siblings and paying attention to the kids next to them, and it felt like the boys were divided into factions.
There are kids who like their younger siblings, but there are kids who find it difficult… It seems that there is a child who is very uncomfortable but wants to ignore it…
And the kid who seemed to want to ignore her brother’s phone call, laughed and said as if making fun of her brother.

“Wow, but living with a sister like this would be really difficult. So pretty. Hey, can’t you call me brother-in-law too?”
“Don’t do it.”
“Ah~ Why, hey, aren’t you complimenting your sister on how pretty she is? I’m just saying that they’re both handsome and pretty, so what do you think? Ah, to be honest, but how is your sister? He’s tall and muscular~ To be honest, wouldn’t he be cool if he wasn’t his younger brother?”
“Do it in moderation?”
“… Hey, why are you like this?”

Her sister looked at me at first and said, then little by little she turned her head around and looked behind her and said.
But that tone… It’s a very aggressive feeling, really, that’s a little… Before a beast attacked, it felt like her sense of touch was on edge, so I felt very creepy.
I wonder if I was the only one who felt that, and all of my friends were just staring at each other with hardened expressions while suddenly seeming to be joking around a little bit.
And the girls poked at each other… One stuttered but spoke as if he were the representative.

“Oh, no… Hey! Do it in moderation! Why are you answering his phone as you please and calling your sister? Why are you doing such a nuisance right now!”
“Oh, why are you doing this to me again? You really come… Yeah, I’m drunk, so let’s just say something. What kind of fan club are you guys? What have I done wrong now?”

For some reason, I saw my younger brother in a very bad mood… I regretted that I came here for no reason.
I came because I was worried, I came because I was really worried…
It was like seeing a completely different side of me than at home.
Besides, the atmosphere of friends… It seems to have gotten worse… Normally, when something like this happens, I just ignore it and leave. I just went out with a bad feeling, but I was afraid that bad rumors would circulate among my brother’s friends… I smiled and waved my hand.

“No, he probably didn’t pick up the phone on purpose either. I guess I was drunk and got it wrong and then said it wrong. Drink in moderation so you don’t do this next time… The colleges everyone applies to anyway are around here, right? The girl who passed the university before this later talked through her younger brother. I was there too, so I might be able to help a little.”
“Uh? Unni, there’s a voice…”
“Yeah, something is very quiet. Very good…”
“I came here worrying alone and ruined the atmosphere? Alcohol… Aren’t you drinking too much yet? Since they’re friends of younger siblings, I’ll calculate this much for you, so let’s have fun…”

Even while I was talking, I didn’t make eye contact and said it because I thought that it was because I was a friend of the younger brother and cared about it, and that there were some kids who wouldn’t even remember it otherwise.
I, who seemed to know roughly the price of a drink, gestured to the clerk and handed over the card right away.
After asking for the alcohol bill first, I got my card back… I tapped on the back of my younger brother, who seemed to be very angry even then, and for some reason I felt faint… I spoke to my younger brother who was glaring at the drunken boy, close by in a low voice that was barely audible because of the tavern’s singing.

“Hey, are you sorry for suddenly coming? Since I made a mistake, I have to let go of my anger and have fun… ?

However… When I said this because I wanted to relieve my anger, my brother looked at me for some reason, and then seemed to get even more angry.

“I’m going.”
“Uh? Uh?! Go already?! This is our first time drinking together!”
“Huh?! Why?! Drink some more and go! Are we going for the 2nd one too? I’m going to the club!”
“Are you guys going?”
“Uh? Uh?”

Somehow… I was afraid that my voice seemed to be holding back something.
It was really different from the voice I usually give to myself, and it felt like an animal like a wolf or a lion was alert, growling and threatening in a documentary.

“Uh? Hey, hey, are you okay?”
“… Sorry, I don’t think I’m in the mood to play. Let’s play together later.”
“Uh, yes… Hey. Don’t worry about that baby. I feel very inferior to you. Enter carefully… Oh, sister. I still remember the burger you made before. It was so delicious~ Please make another delicious one next time. I’ll bring you a present!”

As soon as I opened the bar door and left, I came to my brother’s house and played around… Still, a boy who seemed close to my sister suddenly followed me and asked if I was okay, and her brother waved her hand and said, and dragged my arm and dragged me out of the bar.
As it is, I walked a little on the street at night… Little by little, her gait slowed down, and her younger sister stopped in a slightly deserted place. I was surprised, but her younger sister didn’t seem very happy, so I asked carefully.

“Mood… Are you feeling bad?”

My younger brother stood still and slowly looked back at me… Still holding my sleeve…
Under the sidewalk full of telephone poles, waiting for several cars to pass in the driveway.
Slightly, around the time I heard the sound of a passing train above me, I looked down at me and asked.

“My sister… What if I wasn’t your brother, but another man?”
“Uh?”

I didn’t understand what that meant for a moment, so I couldn’t answer.
In the end, it’s hard for me to know what your intentions are or what you want to ask… Still, for some reason, the sharp eyes of my younger brother felt a bit frightening, so I avoided looking at them and asked back.

“Your brother… Or not?”
“He looks just like me, but it’s not just my younger brother. So, the body is like this… Key like this… The look, the voice, and, of course, that too.”
“Uh? Uh?”

Also, Rani… I instantly became ashamed of my brother’s words.
To put even such a condition into it. How are you supposed to know that?

“A guy like that talked to me on the street or asked for my number. Or, in a club or something… Trying to flirt or… Like bragging about being big to my older sister.”
“W-Where did you learn those words…”
“Bubi-bubi? If you just watch entertainment programs… It goes well in the middle of the night.”
“It’s big, it’s not like I like it unconditionally.”
“You like it.”

I just didn’t have the confidence to continue this embarrassing conversation. My sister thinks I like big things… Of course, of course… I’ve gotten used to it, but… Just because you put your finger in doesn’t mean you can’t feel it, and it doesn’t have to be big…

“Nu, I can’t use it if I say that to my sister…”
“Answer me.”
“Uh? Uh?”
“Honestly, if you think that a man like me, who is not a younger sister, will approach you by helping you to find out what your sister likes in that way… Do you think he will like it?”

For some reason, today, right now… He said something much more embarrassing than usual and wanted an embarrassing answer.
I tried to avoid answering again… For some reason, the younger brother who seemed so angry is now upset, as if he is stuck in something… I felt like I really wanted an answer, so I thought about it seriously.
Such a look, such a height… This personality, shoulders, body… It’s the same, but it’s not just my brother… Besides, he even appealed to me that he was big, so he’s a guy who knows all those things.
While thinking so, he slowly looked at his brother’s body little by little, from his face to his legs… A little shy… I said as I traced my gaze at the cracks in the sidewalk block on the floor, I crossed my other hand over his brother’s hand, which was gripping his wrist, and held it.

“If it’s not your brother… Then, okay, I might have, I don’t know.”

When the younger brother heard that, he suddenly became quiet.
For some reason, it suddenly became quiet… Looking up at his face, it was very strange… He had a complicated face.
