“...Have you ever been here, big brother?”

I’ll put out the spare futon for guests; there should be one we used when my mother came.

Should we eat dinner out somewhere? While I was getting ready and thinking about plans, Sho-kun, lying on the sofa, was staring at me.

“...Has my brother ever been here?”

A question I never expected came flying at me. Your older brother, Mamoru...? We kept in touch, but of course he had never come to my room.

He hasn’t been here, though? When I said that, his expression changed to one that looked a little relieved, and a little happy.

“...I see. Then I’m the first one.”

I blinked in surprise, but for some reason I suddenly felt embarrassed.

That’s true, but... why are you making that face? Somehow, it only made me flustered.
