My youth romance is always confusing

"Meeting and parting, returning and leaving the shore, that's it..."

Looking at the student representative spokesperson on the stage, I watched Komachi speak on stage as the elite representative of this session.

What is it like to watch your sister graduate? At this stage, I only saw Komachi graduate from elementary school. At that time, she was only a third-year junior high school student, and elementary school events are too far away to remember clearly.

All I can say is that I feel neither a sense of reality nor an inexplicable melancholy.

Komachi did a great job.

"what do you think?"

Yukinoshita groped her way up behind me and whispered in my ear.

Her bangs were touching my ears, which made me feel a little strange.

Is this guy getting more and more bold? At least pay attention to my feelings, but other than being a little embarrassed, I don't hate it.

"Well, how should I put it? It feels like a fledgling growing up."

In order to get her to leave quickly, in such a serious situation, I still mustered up the courage to answer her in a low voice.

"A chick?"

When I noticed that the feeling of my skin being covered by hair had disappeared, I knew that Yukinoshita had returned to her standing position obediently.

That's right. How can you whisper to each other in this kind of situation? You will be deducted points, you three-good student Yukinoshita.

As we were standing there doing nothing as punishment, Komachi's student life came to an end.

"Ok?"

As soon as the graduation ceremony was over, Yukinoshita pulled me towards Komachi, but we were not the first to arrive, as there were already two figures standing beside Komachi.

They were two middle-aged people. Even though I hadn't seen them for ten years, I recognized them at first sight.

I gently shook off Yukinoshita's hand, and she instantly understood what I meant and stopped pulling me, and started following me.

"Dad, mom."

Hearing the familiar voices, the two elders turned around and saw their beautiful daughter-in-law and a brat who was still wet behind the ears (?).

"Ah, Yukino is here, come on, take a picture with Komachi."

When my mother saw Yukino, she went to whisper something to her. What is this? A conversation between women?

The person who was talking to me was actually my dad who didn't like me very much at home.

"Looking at you like this, you seem to be doing pretty well."

The middle-aged man with a little white hair looked at his son, wondering what he was thinking.

"It's nothing. I can only passively accept it now."

With a pair of dead fish eyes, I talked to my father without any emotion.

However, although the two of us were talking, our eyes were looking at the mother and her two daughters over there, who were chatting happily.

"What are you and my mom going to do next?"

After all, I have spent 16 years at home, so I have some understanding of the situation at home. Although Komachi and I are now almost independent and the financial pressure is not so great, my parents' work intensity should be a little lighter than when they were raising two high school students. In short, they are the type who would not spend a single day here.

Come to think of it, when I had the car accident, my parents only came to visit me for a while and then left.

I recalled the scene at that time. It seemed that my dad and the others came once when I was conscious, and then I fell asleep and when I woke up, the two of them were gone. Instead, Komachi stayed with me for a long time, but at that time, it seemed that the guy was eating something all the time, and I was just busy sleeping.

"Ah, your mother and I still have work to do, so we've only taken half a day off this time. I'll have to trouble you two to take care of Komachi from now on."

Dad has nothing to be embarrassed about. He is a heavy office worker and it is easy for him to accept this setting.

"Oh, that's no problem."

The term "couple" sounds really novel, especially when heard from my dad.

"Then it's up to you."

Dad patted my shoulder and walked towards the three of them.

"Hey, bro, come over here and take a picture!"

Komachi was waving her hands and shouting, looking quite lively.

"Hi, I'm coming right over."

Graduation is the moment when students leave school. From enrollment to study, and then to leaving, every student has to go through these three stages. As a student, what they have to do is to leave more good memories for themselves before leaving. For me, I have only experienced graduation twice, but personally, these two experiences were not good experiences. I thought that if I continued like this, my high school graduation would be the same as before, and I would not look forward to such a thing.

Yes, that's how it should be, but when I looked at the photos in Komachi's phone, suddenly, the content inside made me feel not so disgusted with the so-called graduation.

If graduation can be like this, a moment of sharing happiness and achievement with close ones, then what's wrong with looking forward to it a little?

Looking at that photo, I smiled a smile that was no longer rotten.

——————————————————————————————————

"So, what's the matter, bro?"

Komachi was sitting in the cafe, drinking juice while biting the straw.

After graduation, my parents left, and I sent Yukinoshita away on the pretext of asking her to focus on her work.

I looked at Komachi, who was not sitting still. It seemed that once she was hanging out with me, it would be easy for her to not pay much attention to this, especially when there were no other friends around.

"Congratulations on your graduation, Komachi."

A very ordinary greeting from an elder brother.

"Eh?"

"There's nothing strange about that. I'm your brother at all times, so at this moment, as your brother, I should congratulate you. This is the way it should be for both him and me."

Yes, as an older brother, there are some things you must do, regardless of age.

"No no no, brother, why are you so formal? It's disgusting."

Ugh, this guy was nice for a few seconds and then turned back into Komachi. I can’t stand it.

By the way, apart from growing taller and becoming prettier in the past few years, she still treats her brother in this fierce manner. It's really not cute.

"So, what exactly is going on, brother? Why did you call me so formally to ask for help, and even sent Sister Yukino away?"

Although it was a question, judging from Komachi's confident expression, she should have guessed it almost right. She asked it just to hear my answer.

Huh-ha-

I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself down.

"I want to know everything about me so far. I want to know how this wonderful and strange group was formed. I want to know how I built the relationships around me. I want to know everything about me. So, please, Komachi."

Very formally, I bowed my head towards my sister.

Komachi wasn't too surprised to see Hachiman. This scene reminded her of the day after her junior high school graduation exam, when she had solemnly thanked her brother. So she smiled, and her little canine teeth popped out playfully.

"All of them? No problem, Onii-chan!"

I looked up at her. Apart from her slightly increased height, there seemed to be no other changes.

What? Isn't this guy cute?

While the brother and sister were chatting animatedly, Yukino and Haruno, who were supposed to leave the cafe, were looking at Hachiman and the other man in the car.

"Is this really okay? It's not necessary."

Yang No was sitting in the driver's seat and talking to her younger sister.

Yukino looked at Hachiman and responded to Haruno, "It's no problem. Since he wants to know, as his wife, I will naturally help him, even if it's just a short and useless effort."

"Hey~ I don't think it's necessary to make so much trouble. There's no need to care about that guy. He's just a weird guy anyway. He just needs to stay at home like a harmless garbage for a month."

As if to oppose Yukino, Haruno waved her hands in the narrow space.

Hearing this, Yukino lifted her long hair and turned to look at Haruno.

"So that's why you went to see him."

"Humph~ If it wasn't related to my little Yukino, who would want to bother with that stinky, annoying guy?"

As if she was angry, Yang Nai pouted her lips and started to act funny.

"But it feels really good to bully that guy. How should I bully him next time? Hehe."

Seeing her sister's expression like a cat teasing a mouse, Yukino could only pray for her little husband, hoping that he would not be teased too badly by her sister.
