After a long day trip in the town, this lively day eventually came to an end. The sun was barely seen anymore. It was almost dark. The five of them decided to head back home and call it a day. Kazuki felt a bit sad as he knew there wouldn't be a time like this no more. He averted his eyes down and pouted. Miyu noticed his doing and slowly put her hand on Kazuki's head.
Patted* patted*
"ungh..." Kazuki grumbled as Miyu gently rubbed his head. His puffy cheeks was beet red.
'Aaaaaaahhh! So cute!!' Miyu screamed in her mind. She was at her peak. She really wanted to cuddle him at that moment.
'Must resist... Must resist the urge... Don't let these cuties see your silly self, Miyu..' was what she thought but little did she know she was unconsciously grinning that made everyone around her got weirded out.
"Hikari-nee, can we go out together again?" Kaya asked. She was as disappointed as Kamiya but she did not show it in her face.
"Ofcourse! I'm looking forward to it."
These two siblings were lighted up upon hearing that.
"Oi oi, if you're going to make a promise, make sure you fulfill it." Kazuya was not against the idea as he knew that he was busy all the time therefore it'd be good if Hikari and Miyu could accompany his little siblings on an outing.
"Don't worry. Just leave them to us!" Said Hikari whilst showing a thumbs up.
"Yay!" Kazuki cheered.

On the way home Kazuya passed by a 24/7 convenience store. The light from the inside enlivening the dark and quiet area around it. A poster of an ice cream were pasted at the front wall of the store. Seeing this Kaya was once again desiring something to eat.
"Nii-chan, can I...?" Kaya reluctantly pointed to the poster. She wanted it but at the same time felt a bit guilty.
*Pinched
Kazuya softly pinched her puffy cheeks while staring right into her eyes. He engraved a smile.
"If you want it just tell me."
"Uhm." Kaya nodded.
"I want a waffle!" Kazuki shouted.
"Fine, choose what you'd like."
While Kazuya was roaming through the store he saw someone identical as if he had seen him somewhere before. The guy was wearing a clerk uniform and was putting items from boxes onto the shelf. He probably worked for the item arrangement in that store.
'Tanaka Keisuke?' Kazuya thought.
Before Kazuya could greet him, Tanaka turned around and put up a surprised face.
"Kazuya? Good evening." He greeted.
"Good evening."
"Wow I didn't think we would meet like this. What are you doing here? Looking for some groceries? I can help you with that." Tanaka became very talkative. As a worker he wanted to be of any help to the customer.
"Sort of."
"Nii-chan hurry up!" Kamiya forcefully pulled Kazuya's shirt. Meanwhile Kaya was just wandering around, wanted to feel the breeze of the aircond. She seemed to enjoy it.
"Oh, Your little brother? Hi, what's your name?" Tanaka tried to be friendly.
"Who's this ugly guy?" Kamiya ruthlessly asked.
"That's hurt.."
"This is my lil bro, Kazuki and over there, she is Kaya. They're twin" Kazuya pointed towards Kaya who was just standing in front of a freezer.
"You have two little siblings?"
"Three actually."
"Nii-chan.." Kaya pouted. She was being impatient.
"Sorry, let's go look for your ice cream."
"Choose whatever you like, it's my treat." Keisuke said.
"Is that okay?" Kazuya felt a bit reluctant.
"Consider today is your lucky day."
"Well, if you put it like that.."
***
"Nii-chan, thank you for today..." Kaya slowly talked as they walked out of the store.
Somehow her words hit Kazuya in the feels. He couldn't be more overwhelmed after being thanked by his lovely little sister who he cherished.
"Yea."
"Can we play with Miyu-nee and Hikari-nee again next time?!" Kazuki got excited.
"Yes, of course you can."
"Yeahh!!"
'Now this is another side of Kazuya that I've never seen.' Tanaka Keisuke thought.
