It turns out that I had underestimated my sister's interest in cats. It was obviously a pleasant weekend time when I could finally sleep in. The pointer on the wall had just pointed to 6 a.m. when my door was opened with a look of excitement and even wearing it.

The sister with the same dark circles as the panda pulled away... she straddled me and kept shaking my head:

"Brother~ wake up brother——! The sun is already shining on your butt!"

"Uh...how can it be sunny in this season...and it's only six o'clock, who's ass is going to be basked by the sun?"

I was shaken by her so much that I felt like vomiting, and I opened my eyes helplessly. It seemed that my last long sleep was in vain...

"Brother Idiot - the promised Christmas gift for me!"

Looking at my sister who was puffing up her face and fuming in anger, the memories that were originally a little blurry came flooding into my mind.

It seems that I am going to take her to the pet store today...but there is no need to be so early!

"...It's only six o'clock, sister. The pet store hasn't opened yet. I can't lead you to smash open the glass door of the store and snatch a cat back... Anyway, you better get off me first.

?"

"Oh oh..."

What shocked me was that my sister immediately got off me very obediently and stood restlessly, lowering her head and playing with her fingers.

I didn't expect that a cat would tame my sister who usually doesn't listen to me at all and yells at me every day?!

I looked at my sister who was completely different from usual. Impossible... I must still be in my dream. Sure enough, I was frightened by the guy wearing the Kamen Rider leather suit yesterday... Sure enough, I had to let him trim it quickly.

It's better to go home.

"……elder brother?"

"Uh, Xiaoyou, what is 1805296 plus 1919810?"

"Huh? Well...it's like...that's wrong! Why should I count this idiot brother!"

As my sister grabbed my cheek, I felt the familiar strength. It turned out it was not a dream.

…

"Hmph~Cat Cat~"

Humming a song with an incomprehensible tune, my sister took my hand and jumped up and down on the snow, playing the grid game that she and I often played together when we were kids.

"You are so old, why are you still playing such childish games?"

"That's not childish!"

She let go of my hand, ran to me and made a face:

"Brother is such a childish person. He has learned keyboarding for so long for a girl he can't even see in person!"

"Ah... it is indeed a very childish behavior."

I breathed in the heat and looked at the surrounding streets covered in silver. The little sister was like an elf left in this silver world, dancing on the white canvas.

I originally thought that after being separated from Xiaoyou for so many years, we might become unfamiliar when we meet again. But it seems that she has not changed at all. She still calls me brother affectionately and scares me with pranks... Although she apologized well afterwards.

.

"Am I the one who has changed the most this year..."

Whether it's the first time you join a band or the first time you make friends with someone, it always feels incredible. It all seems to have happened gradually because of meeting Yili for the first time, right? He obviously didn't bump into her.

The life before was no different from the previous life. Maybe Yili really had some magic power...

"Brother--stop standing there blankly!"

"coming."

The shoes made a squeaking sound on the snow. It was so quiet. There were not many people on the street in the morning.

"Woof woof!"

"Ah! It's Jimi Hen~ Hufu...so good."

Jimi Hen came out of nowhere, sniffed the hem of my pants, showed an expression that I could read as "contempt" on a dog's face, and threw himself into his sister's arms.

Uh, have dogs become so humane nowadays? By the way, Ji Ge, have you forgotten the wonderful few days you spent living in our house... Why do you dislike me!

Speaking of which, why is Jimi Hen here?

"Ah, isn't this Ikusaku-kun?"

"Aunt Goto?! Why are you here...still wearing our school's winter girls' JK uniform?"

Aunt Goto emerged from the evergreen grass with a few withered yellow grass blades on her head.

"Well..."

Aunt Goto swung her skirt and showed me a wink:

"I'm here to promote Xiao Yili's band. By the way, I'm hanging out with Jimi Hen."

Aunt Goto handed me a band flyer made by Ichiri... On it were the four people who were dancing with demons and ended the band? It seemed that Ichiri didn't have any talent for painting.

"Why do you wear this kind of clothes for publicity?"

Hmm... Even though Aunt Goto is already in her thirties, she really doesn't feel out of place in this school uniform, especially this black one...!!

"Oh~ Since we are also jk, we can use "recommendations from peers" to encourage them to check it out, right? After all, children nowadays like to follow the trend~ By the way, what do Yuzuo-kun and Xiaoyou want to do?

?」

"Buy, buy a cat!"

Xiaoyou, whose eyes were shining with stars, immediately stood on tiptoes and raised his right hand high, while his left hand kept stroking Jimi Hen. Didn't you have enough stroking for so many days at home...

"Choose a cat? Maybe I can help. Is this the first time for Xiaoyou to choose a small animal?"

"Hmm~!"

As soon as she heard the word "cat", my sister quickly forgot about me. She held Jimi Hen and rubbed the dog's head while chatting with Aunt Goto about the precautions for raising pets.

...Forget it, it’s not bad to tell her these basic knowledge. Anyway, I will take care of the cat from now on, as long as she doesn’t feed the cat any weird food in the future.

"Welcome~ Oh, it's Mrs. Goto~ May I help you?"

As soon as we entered the pet store, the store manager greeted Aunt Goto familiarly at the front desk.

"Good morning, Ryuko~ But I'm not here for Jimi Heun today."

Aunt Goto rubbed Xiaoyou's head and said with a smile:

"My neighbor's little girl wants to get a cat. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Hello, hello! I'm Yu Kawakami!"

My sister, who was very smooth at home and scolded me tomorrow, became like this when she came out.

"So she's Mr. Kawakami's sister? Well...instead of asking me to recommend it, how about letting the little sister make her own choice?"

Manager Liuzi took us to the cattery and introduced the cats of different colors playing on the cat climbing frame:

"These are all the cats we have here~ Don't worry, we have vaccinated every cat and they are in good health."

"How about we raise a cat that can catch mice, Xiaoyou...Xiaoyou?"

I was troubled by the presence of mice in my house. I originally planned to buy a cat that could catch mice, but I saw my sister staring at a fat orange cat and said excitedly:

"Brother... let's raise this cat!"

The super fat orange cat lay lazily in the cage and slapped the palm of her hand with the meat ball, and looked at me with mocking eyes from time to time...

This orange cat has become a sperm! It seems like there are scratches on its eyes! Are you sure he is not a gangster in the cat circle?

"want to--!"

Although I don’t know what the use is of buying such a thick meat pad... but since my sister likes it, I will buy it!

"I'll call you Zi Miao from now on!"
