I can no longer remember the first time I met Kazuto. My parents said it was when I was a few months old.

It's just that I don't have that kind of memory. The longest memory I have with Kazuto is when I was in kindergarten, and I can't remember anything further back.

He always likes to hide behind me timidly and tug at the hem of my clothes.

When the teacher asked the students to play games together, he always liked to sit under the tree alone, doing nothing and staring at the sky.

Only when I ran over and held his hand did he show a naive smile.

To this day, I still don’t understand what’s on the sky he often looks at.

Kazuto is very smart, but he doesn't have much physical strength. He always runs out of breath after running a few steps.

In comparison, I may be more like a boy because I have so much energy that I have nowhere to vent it.

"Kazuto-kun, just like a girl."

"Girl?"

"Yeah! So, I will protect you."

"But...Sa-chan is also a girl, right?"

"I'm a strong girl, so it doesn't matter."

"It's amazing! Shajiang, just like a prince."

"Hehe...it doesn't matter how much you praise me!"

Looking back, the adults and classmates around me would always say that I was boyish. At that time, I thought it was a compliment.

After hearing such words, he proudly told them: "Yes! I am a boy!"

The adults laughed, and I naively thought they were praising me for being great. It wasn’t until later that I realized that it was an arrogant laugh catering to children, saying how cute I was.

Childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.

Kazuto and I are growing up day by day. He is like my younger brother. He is very small, has a fair face, and is as beautiful as a porcelain doll. I always like to touch his head.

I didn't listen to adults, so I would secretly use my mother's cosmetics to scribble on Kazuto's face. It looked like a kabuki play, but it was far less beautiful than the one in the book.

When he was finally found out, Kazuto would shed tears and say sorry, it was all his fault.

As for me, I was stubbornly unwilling to admit my mistake. Even if my eyes were red, I was unwilling to let tears fall.

Prince, you are not allowed to cry.

When I feel depressed, Kazuto, who has always been weak, will come over to comfort me and give me my favorite rice krispie treats from Grandma Kimura’s house.

The rice krispie treats at that time were really delicious.

Even if it is mixed with the salty taste of tears, I don't think there is anything more delicious in the world.

The world of a child is so small.

Although I have never been anywhere, I feel like I have already seen the whole world.

However, after all, I am just a girl, the most ordinary and ordinary girl.

Not a boy, let alone a prince.

He is growing taller and faster every day.

I don't know when I started to have to raise my neck to see his eyes.

However, even if he grows taller and runs faster, Kazuto is still Kazuto, a being like my brother and my family.

He became better and better, more and more handsome, and he was still as smart as ever. He was always at the top of his grade in exams, his physical strength became stronger, and he also participated in sports clubs.

I saw him playing football, and there were many female classmates cheering for him.

Presumably those who shine like that on the court are the real boys.

I was not disappointed at that time, on the contrary, I was extremely happy for him.

The person who has always been taken care of as a younger brother has finally become a handsome boy. As a sister, it is natural for her to be happy for him.

However, others don't seem to think so.

Gradually, I began to hear some wonderful rumors in school.

Mogami-kun and Konishi-san are not only childhood sweethearts, they seem to be dating.

Now it sounds like this is something that would make people smile, but for a primary school student who is still in fourth grade, there is no kindness in these words.

"It's so nice of you, Konishi-san, to be called by a nickname by Mogami-kun."

"And we go to and from school together every day. I heard that we even see each other on weekends."

"Eh... just because we are childhood sweethearts? That's too cunning."

"That is to say, I am just a little bit good-looking, so I thought I could monopolize the Supreme Lord."

why?

Kazuto is just a younger brother who makes people worry.

Why do people say such strange things?

"Because, I like Sha Jiang."

Of course, when I complained to him in a joking tone, he smiled and said this.

like?

Well, I also like being with people, because they are the most important family members.

But Kazuto doesn't seem to think of me that way.

That was the first time I realized what others thought about me.

The soft and weak Kazuto who would shed tears at every turn is now the outstanding boy I need to look up to.

It's the opposite sex.

When he touches my palm, I can't help but want to withdraw my hand.

"It's okay, I will always wait for you, Saori."

For the first time, I was called by my full name.

He has a very handsome smile and is particularly gentle. It is a smile that will make girls blush and their hearts beat beating.

But I couldn't feel anything.

No fluttering, no blushing.

Is this normal?

Because we grew up together, the crybaby and Renjun.

How could I, who has always been strong and strong, give in to him?

I pretended to be amused and wanted to hit his shoulder, but he grabbed my wrist and used force, unable to move.

Like a chain that binds my life.

It was from that moment on that I truly realized:

This is what men are.

If he wanted to, he could easily pick me up like a kitten and throw me around.

"Saori, I like you."

"Good morning, Saori, I like you very much today."

"Hey, Saori, I like you, let's go home together."

"Saori..."

"Saori..."

"like."

"I love you the most!"

don't want…

don't want……!

Don't come near me again!

…

"Hey, Saori, you haven't gone home with me recently."

"Um."

"Why?"

"..."

"Speaking of which, you seem to have quit the club. Aren't you happy with the club activities?"
