[Suzu's Pov]
On the way home, I walked along the road that I often used with Brother
the reason?
I don't know
Brother always passes this way whenever he can, even every time he comes home from school, he always takes this route, this has been going on since he lost his eldest brother.
I was curious and asked why he always took this route even though it was quite far from home, and his answer was a little heartbreaking, "I always hope that my eldest brother will take this route, and when we pass each other, I hope he will notice me and return to our family with a smile."
To be honest, I've always been curious about how our eldest brother looks, I always look at Brother Issei's family photos, and the eldest brother is very handsome, with his blue eyes and black hair, he looks like someone who is destined to be perfect in this world.
And that proved to be true
In his room, there are many awards for his successes in the fields of science, sports, martial arts, and many more. Seeing this, I sometimes always think, is it that since Issei lost Brother Kamiya, he wants to become a famous person and make it easier for Brother Kamiya to find him and his family?
I'm also sure that's the goal
It's different from me who is the adopted child of this family, but even though I am the adopted child of the Hyoudou family, they treat me like their own real family, especially the mother who is very protective of her children. Mother no longer wants to lose the child she has again.
My father was the same, he didn't want his sons and daughters to experience something terrible, therefore, from the time we entered junior high school until the end of class, father always took us when we went out and picked us up when we came home.
This affection is something I really appreciate as a child who was abandoned by my original family.

Honestly, right now I'm really scared, Brother is busy, and father hasn't come home from the business, mother rarely leaves the house.
Currently there are two delinquents who trapped me in this narrow place, they suddenly came and cornered me
"Brother... looks like we won't sleep tonight hehehhhe"
"My little brother, let your eldest brother eat her first."
"e-EAT??"
I....I don't want...someone....help me!
" seems like you guys are doing something interesting by cornering a beautiful girl."
"huh!?"2x
"...uh?.."
That voice.....I know it
He walked over to the two delinquents casually while smiling sarcastically
"What do you want, damn it, want me to hit your face until you're black and blue!!" the delinquent younger brother obstruct
"Good my little brother, take care of him, and I will take care of this girl hehehe~~" *trying to grab Suzu's hand
no God please NO!
"hold her hand...and you're done for"
"huh...? HAHAHAAHAHAHA" the younger laugh at him
" HAHAHAHAHA" the older following his younger laughing
"YOU HEARD THAT OLDER BRO?"
"YES YES!"
the two of them approaching Hajime now, leave me in scared and guilty feeling for him
No, don't hurt him, he doesn't have anything to do with this
"w-WAIT!!"
""huh?""
"....?"
The two delinquents glanced again at Suzu who was running towards Kamiya and blocking them like a puppy trying to protect its owner
"let this man go, a-and you can do anything to me!"
"hahaha"
The delinquent laughed happily while holding back his happiness
"..." on the other hand, why did Hajime-kun's face become more expressionless?
"Hey Girl, that's not a bad offer kekekeke"
"Right, how about spending tonight at my house, and my young bro will take that handsome man home?"
"no, let him alone"
"no~~~way~~"
"Suzu...."
"Hajime-kun...go quickly, I'm going to do something.....so don't forget to calling someone, especially my brother okay?"
"...." gosh, I've whispered like this and you're just silent, hurry up and go!!!
"Oy oy, what are you damn whispering about!" *grab
oh no, he grabbed my hand forcibly
"....." *BOOM*
"eh?"
"....?" What sound is that?
"YOUNG BRO!!"
His little brother was thrown and hit the wall so it cracked???
"y...YOU'LL PAY FOR I- eup????"
Since when was Hajime-kun in front of that big delinquent??
"I told you...touch her...then you're done for" *BOOM*
.....*fall*
That.....surprises me, how could Hajime-kun defeat a delinquent whose body size exceeds him?
"*sigh* even though this is my first day of school, and I've already had two fist fights? "
He seemed tired, while picking up the bag I dropped, then he walked over here
"here"
"..."
".....can you stand up...?"
"...No..."
"...this is serious..."
.
.
.
"Are you really close to the occult research club?"
"YES, I'm even very close to them, especially President Rias and vice President Akeno, and also Koneko-chan!"
The two of them were currently talking while allaying the fear from Suzu, however, as time went by while they were talking, they didn't realize that people were talking about them as a good couple.
and the most surprising thing is...Suzu is no longer afraid, but she still refuses to walk
"but...why are you asking that...? WUAH? DO YOU WANT TO APPROACH PRESIDENT OR VICE PRESIDENT AKENO???"
"*sigh*, it's nothing like that, I just wanted to know whether you and your Brother have joined that club or not?"
Kamiya can only hope that they enter the occult research club because there is Rias who can protect his two brothers and sisters, but it seems that Issei recently refused to enter the club, which is very contrary to the way life should be
"hm...I will immediately enter that club, but I don't know what about Brother?"
"...."
'the situation is getting harder for me to predict' was Kamiya's thought
"but.... will he be okay?"
"?? What's wrong with him?"
Suzu closed her eyes while telling the story
"so... right now brother is receiving a love confession from a girl"
"..."
"if I'm not mistaken... her name is... Yuuma-chan!"
"...." Kamiya stopped in his tracks
"what's wrong with you?"
"...."
"Are...could it be that you're jealous of my brother's popularity??? oh my gosh, how is this~ it looks like my brother will have a tough rival in the future~"
Kamiya just grinned and put Suzu down
"u-uh? Are you angry?" Suzu put on a worried and confused face
"I'm sorry....okay?" she apologized while holding the edge of his sleeve, trying to make Kamiya look at him
*like a crying puppy seeing its owner angry
"..." Kamiya turned around and looked at Suzu
"sorry....I thought you wouldn't be angry..."
Suzu looked into Kamiya's eyes while almost crying
"...Suzu..." Kamiya finally spoke
"....." now Suzu was silent and looked down lamenting her mistake, she was nervous and more afraid than when she was cornered by the delinquent earlier
".. ..we have arrived"
"I'M FORGIVE! I PROMISE IT WILL BE BETTER FROM NOW ON SO PLEASE DON'T HATE ME!!"
"huh?"
"...uh?...what did you say just now?"
".....I said...we have arrived...."
"...." Suzu raised her head, looking at Kamiya's eyes first then looked to the left
and sure enough, her home was right there
".... " she looked at Kamiya again, but with a blank look
"...so...who was panicking earlier that she don't want to be hated by me~~?'
"...A-A-"
her words faltered
"hm~~?" Kamiya brought his face closer to Suzu's with a slightly teasing smile
"PLEASE LEAVE ME!!" Suzu's face turned red and pushed Kamiya's face with both hands,
and accidentally her palm touching his lips
"....do you like indirect kisses?"
"W-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!" *RUN
Suzu ran away and immediately closed the door of her house
Kamiya was left alone at the front
"...hahaha..even though I was just joking a little...how could I do that to my own little sister" while saying that, he dissappear in the dark
.
.
.
Inside Hyoudou's house, Suzu immediately ran to her room and locked the door
"*huff* *huff*" panting, she leaned against the door and looked up at the sky
She still imagined Kamiya's face who had teased her
looked at her palm that touching Kamiya's lips, then her face turned red again and immediately rushed to her bed covering his whole body with the blanket
"wwhhyyy!!!" hiding her face with blanket
Of course
She regrets not asking Kamiya for dating
