Orimoto Kaori has not changed

The evening turned into a night the wind changed to the opposite. We crossed the viaduct over the national highway and go on foot.

... And who are you like?

After these words, we did not exchange a single phrase, and silently walked down the familiar path. Orimoto, of course, then he told me to forget, but I do not know, she did it because she is not really interested, or it can be regarded as a manifestation of her kindness. Or perhaps my face at that moment was too embarrassed, so she felt sorry for me? In any case, I've already missed the time to respond. Rather, I'm with her I will never talk about it.

Although it is unlikely that any difference if I asked this question by someone else. Just so far no one has asked. Only a monster living inside me whispers sometimes this question. But, unlike human speech, questions monsters do not stand to listen to them. I hate myself and I badly overestimated his identity when ponder over the questions that, in fact, were not specified, and for some reason, pick the right words. This was the reason that I eventually did not answer myself. Wrong answer the question that was never asked.

Even if this question was asked by another person in another place and at another time, I could not give an answer that does not exist. All that from me would come out - vague words, soft voice, his face without a smile or irritation, no more. In general, I'm forever lost the opportunity to give a non-existent response to the question, so just shut your mouth.

Cheeks became rough because of the cold wind. I just go like running away to where you want to go back. The sound of movement on the side of my bike blended with the roar of the wind. Throwing to look, I saw the girl's face lit up like a headlight of a vehicle traveling towards us. She narrowed her eyes, clicked his tongue in frustration and looked at the car drove. I believe, the first time I saw such an expression of his face sincere and sociable Orimoto. She really sincere. I once represented the image of a man who with a cry of "e-ze-gay" chopping wood as Ёsaku 1.

In general, on the one hand, I know the character of Orimoto Kaori, but on the other - the relationship between us is not so close. Only a former classmate from high school. And the connection between us so that if we accidentally met today - that is not met would ever again. Although, maybe we would have met at the ceremony three years of age or reunion after ten years. However, the probability that I would be at the ceremony of age or reunion is very small, so still we would never have met. And if, for example, we would accidentally crossed the street, you would not like that next to go.

But then I do not understand why this is happening now. What is this, a joke of destiny? Of course, if it were not open Orimoto Kaori, who has a habit to reduce the distance with the people, nothing like today would not exist. Who else could shout this former classmate from high school, as I am? Besides, I love her a long time ago admitted! And she said, without a moment's hesitation, she turned to me. Yeah, it is not an ordinary person.

Because of the sudden memory of that event, I began to look closely at Orimoto. She noticed my uneducated eye and turned to me with a frown.

"What?"

"No, nothing. Just thought that I knowingly makes you go "- I'm embarrassed to justify his opinion. Orimoto stopped, looked at me and handlebar, and laughed.

"Ofiget that Hikigaya said! Unless you were a guy? "- Orimoto continues to laugh, his hand covering his mouth. I, too, through the power of smile in response. Orimoto correct to say - I do not to face such caring words, even though I told them just for show. Orimoto, of course, hardly understands my character, but probably this is my phrase sounded too contrived. At least, I'm in high school this would probably never have said. Maybe I do not want to create more visibility, show concern or deceive anyone, but only to break the silence. Of course, I did not say nothing because I do not come to mind right words. While on the other hand, I slipped the mysterious theories like "I'm silent, so I'm cool, but yammer - never not cool." Yet I have a habit to hold extensive discussions in his head, which is why I can not immediately give out the right words.

"Maybe we still going?" - Orimoto handed me the wheel, burying newly born silence.

"Yes, no, I will not"

"But the cold"

"I do not understand"

Orimoto clenched her fists at her breast and smiled a smile of the winner.

"So you start pedaling - and get warm"

"But when I get warm. You're too affectionate "

My voice when I talk to Orimoto, somehow becoming quieter and quieter, judging by the way she did not hear my words, cheerfully jumped on the bike rack and knocked on the steering wheel. Orimoto put foot to the side to rest on the ground and holds the steering wheel with one hand. Hey, stop doing so, you skirt ridden up almost to the hips. Well, it looks a little. No, intense Orimoto beautiful legs, though attracted to a moment my attention, but I immediately calmed his eyes. And her pretty calves I do not consider, honestly.

By removing his eyes from the seat and trunk, I had to put it only on the steering wheel that holds Orimoto for me. I briefly looked at him and felt a cold wind, because of which it is finally decided on. Basically, it's only for me was walking this cold night ...

"Okay," - he said shortly I took the wheel and got on his bicycle. Something is wrong here. Saddle too high. Orimoto While holding the steering wheel, I did not pay attention to the shape of a bicycle, and now felt that his seat higher than my road bike. Somehow I do not like it. I glanced back. Orimoto slightly leaned back, and as if remembering something, clapped his hands.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've picked up the saddle, with the habit of roadies. If it is difficult to go - you can omit "

"From the roadies? .."

Strange. It seems to be nonsense, but why do I feel lucky? By the way, I'm a high saddle somehow reminded To Love-ru ... With some trepidation, I pressed the pedal and started to go. I would like to hear Orimoto and lower the seat, but I'm still a boy. It would be painful to hear something like "Ofiget, have short legs!". With these thoughts, I began to pick up speed. His arms and legs stiffened, and even there is some tension in the back. And there came a voice behind him, not having my tense back nothing.

"I am on the weekends I go to roadies, but to school and go to work on it do not want staschat More»

I did not ask her. It seems Orimoto simply continued to the place where I was staying. Roadies - it means road bike. It turns out, she enjoys the weekend is not the bike, and highways. Well, it looks like a man with such a hobby. Likely, she of those girls from some subcultures that on weekends go by roadies with a single-lens reflex camera with lenses, and for lunch they have vegetables yes fruit, and juice "Acai" as a beverage.

Oh, and stereotypes I have ... After vegetables and fruit juice Acai - it is so intelligently. If we assume that I - the opposite of intellectuals, I have for dinner to be a large portion of chopped meatballs and sausage stick, and as the drink - coffee with milk or soda "Omikudzira."

In high school, I did not even notice that she had such interests. However, if someone asked me what I know about Orimoto, I would have had nothing to say.

"A lot of what you do, it turns out," - I said, and for a moment looked back. She tried not to touch my back and shoulders, and held on to the seat base. When I turned around, she looked up at me and looked into my eyes.

"Well yes. I have not written in any club, so I have a lot of free time "

"And I went to work because of this?"

Remembering what happened recently in a cafe near the high school Kayhin-Sogo, I turned back forward and began to pedal hard.

"Money, of course, but I also wanted to make friends with someone from the other schools. There are in fact all sorts of people running "- in the words of Orimoto lurks the joy of school life. Yes, there are people who are looking to meet people from other schools, sometimes it comes to ugliness. They did not stop at the schools, which are located nearby, they go to all schools in the district and even in universities. This is too much, I would say, is unsafe.

They often use a portfolio of other schools and university bags. It seems that these govnobrendy them seem more serious, and friends for such people too, something like a brand. These are people who are proud of that dress, not much different from those who constantly use smart foreign words from the field of business. Maybe she's this "intellectual" has caught on Tamanavy? His favorite word - "communication", "engagement", "stimulus." So I started to think and speak several Orimoto continued sad, drooping voice.

"I think maybe friends Head"

Despite the headwind, I distinctly heard her words a note of self-contempt. I turned around and looked at her eyes. She looked at houses and shops, we passed, but seeing my mind she smiled, trying to deceive me.

"I guess I just do not like people," - said Orimoto and like to hide embarrassment, straightened her hair with a wave. Recalling the current scene in the cafe, you can without any analogies to understand who she says. Her repeated attempts to speak with all her behavior, to break all sorts of barriers between people - all this in order to make friends. Perhaps, after all, for Orimoto friends - it's not a brand, but something quite different. Besides, she - the girl who could speak even a guy like me, but do not act like people who need brand friends. There is, of course, the likelihood that she did so in order to show everyone, they say, look, what I am good - draw the attention of even the dregs of society, but, seeing her sad smile, I think that is not the case.

"It's all in the habit," - turning away from her lonely eyes, I said. Oh, would I have normal skills, I would have perhaps helped her easily. It is a pity that I can not. It seems that these thoughts reflected in my voice, and Orimoto strange, but gently sighed and leaned forward to me.

"You think?" - In a low voice, as if to say a secret, said Orimoto, and clung to me, put his hands on my shoulders.

"I thought it was because of you, Hikigaya"

I am for a moment lost his balance and hit a stone near the road. Bike jumped. Orimoto screamed, his hands rubbed her ass and turned to me.

"That hurts! What are you doing? To get ... "

"Nothing here is not drop dead. I'm sorry "- I reflexively apologized under her gaze. Well, here are 100% my fault. Due to the fact that our faces closer for a moment, my heart beat faster. But a much more profound effect on my heart had her words.

Again I began to pedal with the same force, reflecting on the meaning of the words spoken into the distance. Rather, they are, like the one question that I can not give an answer, no matter how much I tried - I do not find the answer. But I still picked up what seemed to me the most accurate, and said.

"I do not know from whom it is, but because Tamanavy had hard times, not a very good impression of him remains"

"Oh, sure. It was a very scary "

I Orimoto and memories of a joint event are still fresh. For me, this event was quite a difficult challenge, and for Orimoto seem too. Yet we must learn from the mistakes, and sitting on the trunk Orimoto fun smiling. By the way, even though I am careful to again not to collide with stone, but still, do not shake your feet and slap me on the back, I can lose my balance again. However, even after times Orimoto just laughed and I relaxed sigh.

"But I think that if he gets used to the role of the president, everything will be fine, it is still a good man" - unexpectedly kind voice said Orimoto. Again! Again, she said it comforting "a good man!" If she said it, it can be argued that for her he did not a good man. Better just to say things as they are, and not comfort the person. Because, for example, people do not immediately understand, when you say "Hikigaya, you, too, I really like you, you're a good guy, but seeing you probably can not."

"Hikigaya, you in what direction?"

"Along ways," - I replied to an unexpected question, and Orimoto tapped on my shoulder and I shuddered. Probably, because the back is a little tired. I turned around and looked at Orimoto. She pointed a finger at the intersection.

"Then turn here" - Orimoto pointed at the road along the paths leading to my house. I thought that spending Orimoto to her house, so little inclined his head.

"But your house is on the other side"

"Uh ?! How do you know? To get! "- Smiling strangely, said Orimoto. But I was not laughing. It's the middle of winter, and I have a whole back wet with sweat. I almost cried, "aa, damn, here I got involved," but he restrained himself, and began to make excuses bad voice.

"A? Well ... because sometimes people say is, yes? Accidentally, of course. You understand? "

"Ah. Yes, probably ... "- and she bowed her head in disbelief Orimoto. It will be very bad if she's begin to pry.

"Yes, exactly I tell you. And do not get hung up on little things "- I said. Orimoto myknula, and it seems to doubt swallowed.

"Well," - muttered Orimoto. Hooray! That is good in such simple open girls, so it's just a free atmosphere. It is worth saying a simple girl that this is nonsense and stuff - and the conversation will go in another direction. Try it and you. Ah ... though I got rid of one problem, but the problem did not come alone. Orimoto pushed very unexpected offer.

"By the way, I'm on the bike to quickly return home, let's take you?"

"Come on, do not. And in any case, it's because I'm better pedal "

"Come on, let's go to you!" - Said Orimoto, gently knocking on my back, as if in a hurry. I certainly would not want to pedal your way up to the house, but I was caught in a network Orimoto and I can not refuse. After all, if I'm going to take Orimoto to her house, she can again raise the question, how do I know where she lives. And I have to answer on the Code for the Protection of the tedium. We need to go home until she raised the issue.

"So be it, let's go" - I said, and turned the steering wheel in the direction of the junction, the road along the paths leading to my house.

Oh, hell would you fight, the last ... If I think logically, then the fact that you know where she lives, does not cause anything but disgust. Guys, why are you looking for a house girl that you like? In high school, for example, you can catch the end time clubs and go shopping, especially after going down the road past the school. And if you're lucky - to conduct it. There is a 2! In elementary school it was possible vygulivaya dog near the home of a girl who like, as if by chance to meet her. To get! However, for the girls themselves it was all clear at first sight, and behind his back they called me disgusting or next Gaya. There is the same? A? No?..

After passing the intersection, after some time I came to his house and stopped the bike at the entrance. Orimoto looked around my house.

"So that's where you live, Hikigaya ..."

"Well, you see," - I said, tears off his bicycle and handed control Orimoto. She cheerfully jumped off the trunk and climbed into the saddle. By the way, active movements of the hips must be transmitted and skirt ... well, after all, is now dark, otherwise I would not be able to resist the order to carry out her eyes. By the way, now the truth is very dark. The winter solstice has passed, but that the length of the day should be increased significantly more time-consuming.

I looked at Orimoto with a look, they say, is already night time is not necessary. But Orimoto sitting on the bike and sit and go, it seems, is not going to. She apparently noticed standing at the entrance to the house of my bike.

"Hikigaya, you're on a bike ride to school? Hence, perhaps, for a long time to go to school Sobu? "

"If you get used to it - not very. In addition, little traffic on the road, get off quickly, "- I answered the question Orimoto. She nodded.

"Ah, you're on the bike path going. I, too, on weekends often go for it "

Immediately evident - local, knows the location of the road. Yes, from my house to school Sobu a direct cycle route along the river. Nice safe driving without cars. If you go through it down the river, you can reach the sea and up the river is Inbanuma and leaves the road in the area of ​​Sakura.

Lately, I notice more and more often people on road bikes, is probably such a fashion. Orimoto probably also riding on it on weekends. As I thought about it, so she immediately clapped her hands.

"Hikigaya, why do not you buy shoseynik?"

"Yes, no, he's expensive. Yes, and you said yourself that can steal, so it is not a school to train "

"And it's true," - laughing, said Orimoto, and put his hand to his mouth. What is strange about that? The silence of the night city and quiet girlish laughter somehow lifted my spirits.The same mysterious atmosphere, as if we were talking during the night of a trip to the countryside or late at night in the park. I succumbed to this atmosphere and the same smile.

It seems that in April and May, when I was still only entered high school Sobu, I've observed a similar picture. In the evening, when the sun had set and the night is already approaching, my former classmates in a new school uniform just stood on a bike near the supermarket, or someone's house, and talking about the news or remembering old. To me, as an outsider, it seemed that among them were those who were overwhelmed expectations of the future, and others that are still not used to the new surroundings and remembered with admiration old. Just like at a meeting of former classmates. They do not communicate in the same companies that were friends at school. Perhaps the reason for that was an unusual situation or embellished memories of the old days. They probably said something like "to get acquainted with friends" or "went together to hang out," and the like blunt talk. Idiots, the cost of houses.

This could be called a miracle of new life that has arisen solely due to transfer to another high school. Each time, seeing them, I started to pedal faster or even back home by another road. But I could not imagine that I will suffer the same fate nearly two years. I'm really scared, I did not meet in the same way even with some former classmate. But in fact only Orimoto was very kind and sociable, often start a conversation with me and other classmates from her different. I would not mind at all not talk to them until the end of his days, but all of them were compassionate guys who started out of courtesy to ask, such as "how are you doing?". Once they asked ... The horror that will be. I'm certainly not found the answer, the surrounding space will sink into the silence of the whole world disappears smile, birds forget how to sing, and the world will capture the darkness ... But no, this is too much. But you can clearly and to submit details of what will happen next. In addition compassionate man who started to talk to me, I may even start to press, saying "Why are you talking to him with help? It's fun, is it? ". One has only to imagine such - and the heart begins to ache. In this case, I just need to pretend to be a statue of Jizo 3. I guess it's my turn out so well that I will bring an offering. If you're lucky - a straw hat.

Recalling the various unpleasant things, I talked with Orimoto exchanging short sentences. Suddenly, I felt someone's eyes. Fearing that it could be former classmates, I quickly turned around. Figure cautiously beginning to approach me. More step - and I saw sticking straight up a strand of hair. This sign, without any error, belongs to my younger sister.

"Komachi?" - I said softly her name. She heard this and began to march confidently towards me, shaking a lock of hair sticking out from side to side.

"Oh, and I thought it was a brother"

Coming under the light tube, we probably already know each other. Komachi sighed, touching his tiny chest. Yes, it is - breast Komachi, definitely. Hell, a terrible way to recognition.

"Oh, little sister ... Guess?", - Said Orimoto, seeing Komachi. But it looks like she was not sure of it, and bowed his head, looked at me.

"Well yes"

"So, thinking that somewhere saw it. Ofiget, why do not you like? "

None of your business. And what are you laughing? However, what Komachi, unlike me, pretty - it's good for it, I will not complain. Komachi ran up to us, the office servant greeted and bowed Komachi.

"Hi! Thank you for the baby brother "

"Oh, no, you, too," - Orimoto, as she expected, said something in his wake. They are now just standing next to me and smile about anything especially not talking. Komachi is especially close to me. I stared in disbelief at her side. Usually Komachi without any shyness start to talk to a woman, even older, but today that is not so. I really thought that Komachi did not want to give me another woman or to leave the little brother. If the second - something done, Komachi, a lot of points to you.

Orimoto should be for Komachi senpai since middle school, but it seems they have not seen before. Although, of course, if they were not in a club, then it could not meet because of other points of contact no longer exists. It is clear that between them there is a certain detachment, or a wall. Who would talk to her sister nodding acquaintance or an acquaintance brother? That, incidentally, came from a good confirmation of my words as a high school student.

"Good evening, my brother!" - He said unsuitable night city cheerful voice. Under the lamplight I saw his short black hair with a blue tint. His face was more or less good, it seems on the face of his older sister. Yes, it is - the younger brother of Kava-as-it-there. Though he is an acquaintance of my sister, but I have nothing to talk to him. The same applies to Komachi: she just nothing to talk about with Orimoto.

"Do not call me brother. Who are you?"

"OK, bro! I - Kawasaki Taishi! "- Said Taishi, raising his arm up. What kind of imitation Nakahate Kiyoshi 4? In addition to being "good", if you do not stop calling me brother? I'm talking to you just a minute and already tired. Orimoto, gazing at our conversation, he laughed softly and turned to Komachi.

"The guy is yours?"

"No, just a friend" - still smiling, said, very quietly Komachi. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed how Taishi shoulders sagged. Hmm, is to bring together two couples who have not obtained the conversation - and you get a full house! In general, we have the four of us stand in silence. Powys dumb question, "So what do we do next?". Orimoto seems to have felt it, too, and put her foot on the pedal.

"Okay, I'll go home," - said Orimoto natural for her voice, which is why I could not answer in time. Just by looking at the simple behavior Orimoto difficult, of course, to say for sure, but most likely, she decided to go for us.

"Oh, yeah. Thank you!"

Due to the fact that I pedaled a bike, I could not easily remember that Orimoto me to the house. She also did not immediately understand what "thank you", and looked at me, uncomprehending face, but soon she smiled.

"Ah. Yes, no, not at all. By the way, if you still decide to run, I'll introduce you to someone right "

"Do not"

"Heh, well, until"

"Come on.Be careful on the road "- it seems I said too much. Orimoto waved, and started to go. I, too, waved her wake, and Komachi bowed. I watched Orimoto until she disappeared into the non-illuminated part of the road, and turned to Komachi. Let's go home? As at that moment I saw a guy with burning eyes, staring straight at me.

"Brother, this is your girlfriend?"

"You who the hell is? How do you got? What are you talking about? "

"I'm here for a long time. I Kawasaki Taishi "

At night there was a terrible cry of the city. I hope the neighbors did not stop. Who is it?

In a sense, Kawasaki Taishi - cool personality

Kawasaki Taishi. The younger brother of my classmates Cava once it there, Kawasaki Saki. In addition, he - coeval Komachi, and goes to the same prep school. To be better understood, I paraphrase - it's like the whole high school goes to another school. There they have a learning campus. Of course, he and Komachi go to the nearest school to their home, so it may seem that the house Kawasaki is close to ours. But in fact, our home is located in the opposite side of the school. So, how would by Kawasaki Taishi got home, we were "on the way" he could not go. Although, in principle, no matter how devious ways he came to us, or how far it went.

There is nothing surprising in the fact that Kawasaki Taishi is here because of the high school boys often seek out the girl's home, which they love. This I know for myself. Disgusting. As much as I wanted to punch myself in the face from the past.

I looked at Taishi. He seems about something talking to Komachi, despite the fact that he was not disgusted with Komachi. This means that Komachi he was allowed to come here. I waited until their conversation will be a pause and asked Komachi:

"So you're back together?"

"Yes, we have completed the self-study, and it so happened that stayed together"

Clear.So he waited until Komachi finish. Already quite late, so he had to wait a long time. Commendable.Even Amin 5 so did not expect to. And, no, Amin, probably would have waited. I liked how Taishi ambush style Youming 6, and at the same time a little became sad. Komachi start to pull me by the sleeve.

"Taishi wanted to talk to you"

"Hmm"

So he waited, not only Komachi? I looked at Taishi. He cleared his throat and hotties looked at me seriously.

"Brother, can you talk?"

"No.Do not call me brother. Who are you?"

"I will not fail! Kawasaki Taishi "- saying this, he took a step toward me. Ah, what you energetic boy, how could I refuse you? Although it is not the time is now to act as the heroine sёzdё manga. He was so serious, I averted his gaze from him. In the animal world, I would certainly have lost.

"So what do you want?" - Had to listen to him.

"To talk about the exam. It is said that there will interview "- lowering his shoulders and said Taishi.

"Ah. Yes, it was an interview, "- I barely remembered that the interview took place. Yes, the first day we passed the written examinations, and the second group conducted an interview. Remembering him, I suddenly remembered one more important thing.

"Komachi, and you can handle a job interview?"

"Yes, when I tried to get a recommendation, they often tried to make a pseudo-interview"

"Hmm, pseudo-interview ..."

Not bad formulated in preparatory school. Even the recommendation to get help. However, Komachi failed test recommendation. However, she just did not have enough points in the table. And there can be such that the ultimate weapon of communication Hikigaya family broke on some interviews. The main thing - hand over a written examination, but already there somehow will. Brother believes in you! By the way, when I did, it did not apply the recommendation, and immediately went to a general exam and nothing but him thought. And held the second day of the interview, I feel like I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Maybe it's because when I wrote exams on the first day, I decided that probably already passed and relaxed stupidity. So, unfortunately, I do not remember that I was asked in the interview on the second day. In general, if I remember an interview with such warm feelings, there certainly is nothing wrong. But those who only will it be held, probably even worry about such trifles.

"I'm on interviews has never been so very worried," - said Taishi depressed voice. But surely his excitement is no real reason. Although the tests for a recommendation, at least somewhere else, if you're more or less judge of their responses, the interview took place without any problems. The results of written examinations is much more important. But this is just my personal opinion. Even if you are doing well you will show in the interview, and the score is not enough - neither of whom admission is not the question. That's how the exams in high school.
It and I will try to explain to him.

"Oh, nothing complicated in this interview at the general examination there. Anyway, my sister might ask "

"You what! Unless she can understand the interviews? "- Taishi mud poured his sister, holding a fool, laughs and stands. You'll get the same from her. Although you're right, actually. In one type of Kawasaki we can say that the interview - its weakest point. At first glance, Kawasaki - scary hooligan, which knows no moral standards, but in fact it is an ordinary good girl.

I wonder who is so cool, and came up with the right people to call hooliganism or spoiled? The only meaning of these words - to maintain order within their community. That people were like dogs, who are given sweets, praising their "umnichka, cutie," and that wagged its tail in front of the owners. I have some serious cool person 7, live on concepts. Although such phrases express themselves simply petty criminals who simply underestimate our tibanskih bullies. I myself, when I was still in high school, park deprived for 500 yen, still angry.

"Such is my sister. Therefore, except for you, brother, I do not have anyone to ask "

"Hmm"

It seemed to me that the Taishi still puts his sister a fool. But he loves it, and even once came to the club for her help. So, he probably will not want to worry my sister, and decided to ask someone else. If so, you can take seriously a few to his question. But then again, he coughed Taishi.

"If the conversation will be long, then, maybe we should change the place?", - Said Taishi and started watching stare at the door. It is to me so he suggests that I let him into the house? Alas, I'm not going to let some unknown type living space Komachi.

"Well" - I said, and began to look at ways of Taishi, leaning against the door. But he still looks curiously at the house Hikigaya. And I'm just standing at the entrance, and that's it. Komachi looked, as we stare at each other and grinned.

"Well, now we have not cleaned the house, so you can go to the Poppy near the station. But I will not go, of course, very cold "

In Taishi cheek twitched.

"Well, now quite cold," - said Taishi, smiling slightly. Yes, quite oblique smile. Komachi, I'm already afraid. Poor Taishi. But I'm older brother should finish off a fleeing enemy.

"Well, if it's cold, fast forward to the next time"

"And no, if you think so, it is not very much and it is cold. Come on now, brother! "- Taishi scratched his nose and smiled. Wow, you're good, jerk. If you say that you are cold, you would have to go home. Men's hearts are not so shaky to go back just because of the cold winter wind, I understand. Respecting perhaps your courage and take off today with the role of the elder brother. I talk to you, so be it.

"If not for long - I can spend a pseudo-interview or something you advise"

"Yes, thank you" - cheerfully replied Taishi. I think this vigor would be enough to pass an interview the general exam. Well, okay, he's sincerely asked for advice, answer man. I rumblings collar and made a stern face.

"Why did you choose our school?" - I asked, eyes drilling Taishi. He seems to have understood the seriousness of my eyes and cleared his throat.

"Uh-huh. My older sister goes to your school, and, according to her, is strong in the humanities and science schools, moreover, it is close to home. So I chose your school "- politely and gently said Taishi without any hesitation. I nodded, smiled, and said the same thing as every other interviewer said would be in my place.

"Well said, and without errors. Long I memorized? "- I said, and at that moment I blew a cold wind. Taishi just stood there with his mouth open. And standing next to me nodded Komachi.

"Oh brother ... it was awful"

"No, I did not awful. In fact, there are interviewers who can say such a thing "

Honestly, there are. For example, I once passed a stress interview and then because of a broken heart could not function normally. But the heart of Taishi firmly.

"M can again?" - Said Taishi and hurriedly added, "please", his head bowed. Come on, do not be so serious about this exercise. I'm staring at it on a moment, but the man is not retreat. We still put pressure on him!

"Okay. Hmm ... Why did you choose our school? "

Taishi made a few deep breaths and began to answer the same question.

"In the process of selection of high school main criterion for me is a priority in preparation for entry into higher education. After reading pamphlets in your school and talk with her older sister, who is a student of your school, I came to the conclusion that the training program at your school is the most appropriate for my further development "

What the hell are you luck "in your school?" What are you, some kind of a proud Ms from a noble family? You're not going after all to say "kill him"? I closed my eyes and listened attentively answer Taishi. And finally, there was a breath, then he has finished his speech. I slowly opened my eyes and stared at Taishi. Met my eyes, shoulders Taishi started. I smiled at him to relax a little, folded his hands at his chest and nodded. Taishi relaxed.

"You just talked about its development, but the work is accepted. No you will not develop here, "- I said and looked appraisingly at Taishi. The silence was piercing cold wind. After a few seconds have passed Taishi stupor.

"But I do not work ..." - gently said Taishi.

"School! Brother, same school, they need to develop the students! "- Komachi said, waving his hands in front of me, as if checking to see if my roof is gone. I began to remember my words and think that's not what I said? Maybe it's true, I made a mistake somewhere?

"Ah, yes. I used the phrases heard in employment, but it seems that the school is a little different "

"Brother, where are you in a job interview is missed ..." - he said in frustration Taishi while I meditated on what was said. No, there are people in the personnel department, which can so easily say in your face. But I'm not without reason pulled out these terrible memories of the interviewer.

"Well ... You will also be easier if you're ready for the worst" - I said firmly. Komachi openly grimaced.

"No, no, no, it's not just the worst, it's terrible. Komachi seem to understand why you do not want to work. Such hear - really horrible feeling "- a mournful voice Komachi said. Oh ... How could you? You talk as if the feelings are so desperate brother. You do not want to say it? No, really? I was afraid if I did not hate Komachi, and looked at her. Taishi something began to mutter.

"Somehow I have lost confidence ..." - said Taishi with drooping face and drooping shoulders. Perhaps a pseudo-interview him a bit upset.

"Do not worry. Typically, the selection committee interviewers sit affectionate "- I said, because I felt as if I had too intimidated, and the effect was the opposite.

"R-really?" - Asked Taishi from the gaze of a man praying for salvation. But I had such a bad character to kill the defeated enemy. Less Taishi that he - a poisonous insect that tries to approach the Komachi, but by itself it is a person of good morals - is a plus, and, besides, he had a terrible sister. It turns out that in the end - plus? No, that's pretty younger sister - that's a plus. Anyway, I came to the conclusion that it should be comfort. His sister is a terrible fact, it will be bad, if someone tell you how I scared.

"Well yes. If someone wants to hold entrance exams stress interview, then immediately receive a complaint from the trustees. Therefore, teachers in the interviews behave very affectionately "

"Complex reasons ..." - muttered Komachi, as if lamenting the imperfection of the world. Yes, our world is far from perfect. People at work do not like to mess with complaints, so they are very afraid of them.

"In general, speak loudly and clearly - and you will pass"

Taishi again took a deep breath and looked at me in disbelief.

"True? So simple?"

"Well yes. The main thing in the interview - a great voice and a willingness to take a lot of changes "

"At school, there is no change, brother," - said in frustration Komachi. Damn, again this habit since my 'Warrior worker Linyatel 8 ". I will explain. When someone brings in the interview about the stuff that will take a lot of changes, and as a result he has to keep his word. And that's where he was used to work, learn everything necessary to become a strong fighting unit, taking on a bunch of shift work becomes very hard and it fades from work, without telling anyone, and then waiting for when he transferred salary .

I really began to think it was what he did, again probably naplel some nonsense person. However, it has made on Taishi unexpectedly good effect. His dying eyes again sparkles with vivacity and youth.

"Yes, I was somehow easier," - just, or we can say, honestly said Taishi and smiled shyly. I very rarely someone to console you to know.

"Do not focus on this interview. It is not for you to fill up, and just to look at you "

The school interviews questions and answers known in advance. If you are asked why you chose our school, answer - liked the atmosphere in the school; the question of what you people answer - soft as butter, and supple. Although normal, of course, when a lot of students looking for part time says of himself. It would be better if they notice that enterprises are looking for a teeth wheel, because if the car is only one oil - it will not go anywhere. These teeth, corporate slaves, like my father - this is the real driving force of the enterprises. Banzai, corporate slaves!

Usually harvested speech and answers - a pure lie, which is said in the interview, without even thinking. Although, it's not just interviews. I think even the interviewers understand that it is impossible to estimate human responses. Therefore, they do not pay attention to what he says, but rather on how he behaves and how to speak. That's why I spoke of a loud voice. He, though a verbal means, but will evaluate it as a non-verbal. It is believed that a person expresses speech only about 30% of what it wants to convey to another person. The remaining 70% comes from non-verbal communication.

If someone on a job interview, for which can supply a maximum of 100 points will give the best answer, which only can be, but is timid and quiet to say it more than 30 points will not give. Or give? I'm not very good at math.

In any case, I see no reason why this cheerful honest guy should worry about the interview. But something I was still interested. I coughed and showed him the finger.

"That's just you need to use a polite speech, and not something strange, as it is now 9"

"Do not worry, brother. I talk to you just so "- smiling, said Taishi and raised fists. Oh, that is, that's how he treats me? I lost my temper seriously advise Taishi anything, and I drove hand.

"Okay, that's it. Come come home "

"Yeah. Pasib! "- Taishi has not noticed a change in my behavior. He cheerfully bowed and thanked me. Well, if he could properly thank him, I will not delve into the details of his treatment to me. What I'm easy. Gaby Hachiman, heh.

And then Taishi straightened, raised his finger up and asked me in a calm voice.

"And I have something else I wanted to ask"

"What else?"

Are you Ukё 10? I just thought it was finally finished with you, you again want to ask about something new? No, I do not buy.

"If it's about school - ask my sister" - recoiling from him, I said. But Taishi face much more serious than before.

"I can not ask my sister is ...", - he said scraps. I'm staring at him a squeezed voice, and realized that he wanted to ask something really serious. Komachi whether sensed something was wrong and decided not to interfere, or did not want to imagine the hassle. She fumknula and nodded.

"Okay, I'm cold, so I went back to the house. Taishi-kun, thank you spent. Brother, you talk to him, it's me, please. Okay? "- He said Komachi and reached for the door handle, quickly opened it and disappeared inside.

"Taishi-kun, you also try '- looking out from behind the door, Komachi slightly waved. A wide smile and a sly gesture ... What a hell of my dear sister. And yet, my sister behaves as something suspicious. Perhaps, after all, does not want the hassle, and so escaped. By the way, there is one more unhappy guy cheated.

"Hikigaya-san so affectionate," - said Taishi when Komachi disappeared and firmly closed the door. But Taishi reason admiringly looks at the door. No, no, no, this is not tenderness, she just got tired of messing with us, and she dropped everything else to me. Oh, that for my sister ...

We slowly go under the cold winter sky. Komachi is already hidden in the house, so I, in principle, does not have to force yourself to tinker with Taishi, but he was so gravely asked that I simply could not send him home. I did not want to attract the attention of neighbors meeting near my home, and it is unclear what to do with a high school student to do in a cafe. Therefore, I decided to walk to the supermarket, located on the road to the house Kawasaki Taishi, at the same time talking to him.

Net starry sky, a number of challenges at the same distance from each other lamps, headlights of passing cars, bright apartments in high-rise buildings. We Taishi slowly go by fairly light for this time of day the road. And finally, I saw the building of a supermarket, which is about the same distance from the house and Hikigaya and Kawasaki from home. Although, I do not know exactly where the house Kawasaki. I went inside and bought two cans of coffee and then went outside.

"Hold" - I threw Taishi one of two cans of coffee. It is not "burning ball 11", so catch. Well done.

"What with me?" - I asked Taishi and began to get his wallet.

"Come on, it's the little things" - waved, I replied.

"True? Thank you very much, "- head bowed, said Taishi, and happily opened the jar. I, too, opened his bank. We had nowhere to sit except on the parking lot for bicycles, so we sat down on his haunches. I squeezed the warm jar in his hand and began to slowly drink. Such a hundred yen can not buy. Taishi sighed, releasing white vapor.

"Regarding my talk ..." - he began to talk.

I was curious about what he wants to ask, and I turned to him. Taisho's face was serious.

"Brother, tell me how I liked the girl, When I go to high school?" - Asked Taishi. At this point, I almost choked on his coffee and coughed. Taishi patted me on the back, worry, everything is okay with me, I apologized, Taishi asked not apologize - so here we had a conversation. I felt good in my soul. I came back to normal and Taishi started to look at me.

"I do not know. I'm not particularly popular "

"Not true! Can not be!You do not even today was the girl! "- Taishi started to deny it with a red face. It looks like he has in mind Orimoto.

"We just met by chance on the way home. Or do you think that if we are together - something we love? "

By this logic, if I'm together with Taisho, we love each other? Fu Fu Fu, I am disgusted smiled, feeling ebi-atmosphere at Ebina there is now, in principle, can not be.

"I do not think" - with a very serious look soberly told Taishi. Yeah, that's how boys become adults. Maybe it's due to the fact that he had already walked along this path? I decided to support Taishi.

"Here you go. In addition, if someone said that if he and Komachi, and so they love, I would have to then mop up with everyone who is with her, "- I said, and putting a little bit of power in his hand, slightly squeezed steel jar with coffee, because of what that little flattened.

"Brother, you're scaring me"

He is even now calling me brother? And you're not one of the cowardly. Okay, I will not give up on you, and even a little admired. Although, even to ask the question - what to do to be popular with the girls need remarkable courage. On the other hand, it seems to me that now, in a period of intense preparation for the entrance exams is not the right time to ask such questions. Not that the current situation, trying to escape from reality. I remember, too, that a great deal of affairs was suddenly thought, "Oh, that would be an idol 12 be" or "I want to become a professional baseball player." Oh no! Hopefully, with Taisho will not happen?

"By the way, why do you ask this question?" - I decided to ask. But my fears were not only unfounded, they were far from the truth. Taishi blankly bowed his head and thought for a moment.

"Well, I do not know ... For the sake of motivation? When in high school, there is something interesting that is worth to try to learn "

Well, yes, but he's in something right. But if you have too many expectations, it can get as a loan - you'll have to break into a cake for it is not clear what. Then you need to smash those hallucinations. This is kindness!

"Nothing of what I thought before admission have not been fulfilled"

Taishi slightly pouted and looked at me in disbelief.

"True?"

"Well yes. Everything was absolutely not the way I imagined it, "- I said. It seemed to me that my voice sounded a sense of reality. But expressed do not turn back, and I give phrases one after another.

"Not so, but still not bad" - I said, and we were silent. We hear the monotonous noise of the supermarket, the sound of the bike on the other side of the road, and suddenly - a contented sigh next to me.

"I now there is motivation"

"A? Why? "

Taishi stood vytrusil cloak back, and looked at me.

"I do not know, just so" - said Taishi, took the bag and straightened his collar.

"Then I will do, I will come to you to talk about it. See you then "- as always, to be honest Taishi. I laughed bitterly. April next year, new students, new school year ... Those words speak of very different circumstances, compared with the current. But all this will happen in the next 3-4 months. In any case, the changes will be, in any case, once all this comes to an end.

"Well, if you can"

"What?" - I asked absently Taishi heard my answer. I took a break for razdumyvaniya and issued a prepared response.

"If your sister is allowed. She's mad, if I you something strange teach "- I said and laughed Taishi.

"Well yes"

"But what to do - come and talk at least"

"Yeah, I'll try. Thank you brother"

"Do not call me brother. Accustom to contact me "Sempai" in the end "- I said, and Taishi froze. But soon his eyes returned fire, and they sparkled.

"Wow! It was cool!I could get used to! Can I give it my sister? She then certainly allowed! "

"Shut up, do not be pinned. Seriously, stop. Come on, blow home "- I started talking fast because of the fact that I felt ashamed. Taishi smiled cheerfully. Because of this, I felt more ashamed and I run it by hand. Taishi turned and ran. After crossing the road, away from me, he stopped and bowed to me.

"Thank you, Hikigaya-senpai!", - Said loudly Taishi fun and went home.

"Quickly it" - I said, watching his eyes.

Whatever happens, there will always be Hikigaya Komachi for brother

Kawasaki Taishi watched, I went to the supermarket and briefly wandered between the rows. Pre-Christmas mood is felt here. The red shoes filled with candy and children's champagne with characters from the anime for children in corner Bargain -50%. In addition, there are scattered light red flyers for pre Christmas Soba and other Christmas food, and even on a stand in front of a refrigerator are empty packaging of this most meals. But at his side there are small Christmas ornaments.

Next - bento table on which there are a variety of curries, and hand-drawn poster with stupid phrase "tired of the Christmas meal? From curry you never get tired ", apparently, for even more to attract attention. Perhaps this is one of the store employees did. Yeah, infrequently they squeeze all the juice out of workers, depicting posters. I often see new posters on various events and the arrival of new goods. But you can not operate the way people. Though perhaps it's just the authorities demand from the main office, and they are working up a sweat. After the Christmas holidays will have to start preparing for Setsubunu 13, ready to order ehomaki 14 and echo rolls, and immediately after that - preparation for Valentine's Day. What echo rolls, by the way? ..

I have often seen it, but still can not get used to this New Year's eve turmoil. Everything is changing right before my eyes, which is why I still feel brighter, much the same things every day I live. Moreover, I can not resist the passage of time. Certainly, and this year, and I will spend the next sluggishly flowing every day, and when ochnus, it will be spring. Though laugh, even cry, but this year only a few days, and by the end of the academic year - three months.

Although, just sitting, doing nothing, while the world revolves around desperately - is the greatest luxury. I have long been saying so. Do not fuss, come next year. Already end of the world, or what? A-ha-ha! Make you a wax figure?

Thinking about it, I'm terribly laughed out loud, and I noticed other diners, so I moved to another location. I looked a shelf with journals and passed by then was a shelf with some sweets and instant noodles, and finally I saw a shelf with the drinks. The compartment for the "popular" I noticed that they were just stuck on top of the usual New Year's inscriptions and goods, in general, the same.

So I got to the goods that are marked as new seasonal winter arrive. In principle, there is no shortage of nomenclature, but one svezhevyshedshy product proved so popular that it did not have time to deliver, and delivery is temporarily suspended. I completely forgot about him and in the end did not buy. This often happens, in fact. When can I try Hagen DAZ-15, my favorite Hage, everything I thought. And so I had the chance. It is very tasty for its price range, so I took one box. Buy another for Komachi, perhaps. She's probably lying under the kotatsu and wants ice cream. The best ice cream in the winter, this is probably - Yukimi Daifuku 16. If I wanted to imagine it as an ice-cream man, most likely, it would be a Japanese beauty with snow-white skin and large breasts. I certainly understand Yeah. I Chiba Lotte fan 17, is well aware. Next, Marinz! I am sick of you!

Calculate I came out of the supermarket, and slowly went home. It is winter, so there is no fear that the ice has melted, but because of the cold wind blowing the skin, the legs themselves start to move faster.

Houses so quietly that my steps when I climb the stairs seem very loud. As a mom and told me at lunch, they work late today. I went into the living room and, as expected, found a Komachi. She lay under the kotatsu, stroked Kamakura and watched TV. Perhaps a break from preparing for exams. I turned to her.

"I'm home. Will ice cream? "

Komachi turned to me and umknula nodded in response. Strange, normally it would be more happy. I sat down under the kotatsu, cross-legged, and laid on top of the phone, wallet and shopping bags.

"Hold" - Yukimi I got out of the package and gave Komachi.

"Thank you, then I sing," - said shortly Komachi, he took ice cream and went to the refrigerator, and then quietly returned under the kotatsu. It's not in the mood for some reason. Watching warily behavior Komachi, I got one Yukimi and started eating it.

As soon as I had finished it, Komachi resolutely turned towards me and knocked on the floor.

"Brother, sit down"

"M? I'm so "- I was worried, suddenly I'm not sitting, and lifting the veil on the kotatsu, he looked at his feet. Well, my legs crossed, and I sit on a chair-mat 18. About this, it seems, and Komachi said. It shows a look, so I crawled out from under the kotatsu, and said the same thing.

"Sit down"

"I am sitting" - I said. Do you want me to become about you? Why do I need it?Well, I thought, so be it, sit down. Some long conversation? If so, then the ice cream may melt, so I stuffed the last bite into his mouth and prepared to listen Komachi. She coughed slightly, and looks at me with narrowed eyes.

"Maybe you explain?"

"What?" - Swallowing Yukimi I asked. To explain why I bought you an ice cream? Because I love you, of course, but I will not say - too embarrassed. To me already to be seen, perhaps, that I was embarrassed, but Komachi cold look at me. So, the conversation is not pleasant. But I did not understand what I wanted to hear from the Komachi, and cocked his head sideways. Komachi sighed softly.

"I'm talking about Orimoto-senpai. What was it?"

"What? We just former classmates from high school "

"I know"

"Then why do you ask?" - A little annoyed I said. Komachi just stares at me with a kind of resentment in his eyes, as if I was piercing gaze. I realized that I needed something to say.

"Yes, no, nothing between us. Honestly "- I said distractedly, and I had the feeling that I'm lying. This, of course, do not lie, but because of the fact that sometime in the past, I confessed Orimoto Kaori, and it was rejected, is now difficult for me to talk about it, words become some kind of heavy. Therefore, now I finish, and stopped abruptly. I could tell this man's suffering, and the problem would be exhausted, but I can not say that the sister. And she certainly did not want to hear love stories brother. At least, I do not want to hear love stories of someone from your family. If I had an older brother, and he suddenly began to talk about his relationship with the girls, I would have thought, "which he began to bear?". In addition, if Komachi me begin to talk about their love affairs, I'll pay the same second.

Komachi, seeing that I am silent, moved closer to me, still drilling me with a look, as if trying to catch me.

"Just ... Just! Only! Former classmate? Why is it then came to us? "- Komachi repeated one phrase, emphasizing the point. Komachi know how I was in high school. And so today I already talked amiably with someone from former classmates, standing in front of his house ... It's too unusual.

"She did not come to us, she held me. Orimoto works in a cafe in which I visited recently. We met on the way out and talked in front of house "

"That is, you accidentally back together and talking in the house?"

"Well yes"

"Hmm ..." - it is not clear whether Komachi satisfied with the answer, or not. She slowly looked around and relaxed.

"It is clear, then she did not come here"

"Did I shoot other people in the house?" - I said to her, and remembered that Yuigahama once came to our house. Although it is not considered, it invited Komachi, not me. Okay it does not matter.The problem Komachi. She carefully considers the room look a dangerous wild animal, bound with ropes, as if making a search scene, searching for something in the surrounding chaos. But there is something that I should just say it.

"Look, Kozyuto 19 -chan ..." - I said, and Komachi sharply stared at me.

"What other Kozyuto? I Komachi, Komachi! "

"You Kozyuto you. Why do you even care? You're acting like a girl, which limits the guy around because of jealousy. Are you so much in love with me? You know that these girls do not like? "- I blurted out, not the most pleasant words, and Komachi grinned.

"Listen, musorobratik ..." - said Komachi unpleasantly surprised voice. Hmm ... Oh, I got it. I guess when this guy says, who never had a girlfriend, it's very painful to listen to. I wanted to understand myself, but Komachi, it seems, was talking about something completely different.

"I'm worried about you after all, brother. If you will not be popular with the girls, it is more normal, in the worst case, I'll take care of you until old age. But if you are too popular, it will fight for you, and this is a problem for me "

"Yes, no, this certainly will not" - I replied, and Komachi sighed wearily.

"If you get caught, I do not see, then I can not do anything", - said Komachi and slowly waved his head, say, tonight I did everything I could, but it seems that come the hour of death.

"Do not worry for me because"

In addition, on watch or not, nothing will change.

"I should not worry. I Orimoto with nothing. But you're a little too seriously approached this issue. You are with her in trouble? "- I said, and twitched his shoulders Komachi.

I just remembered the strange behavior of Komachi, when I met her Orimoto door. The impression of it then came completely not the same as it is now. So it I still did not appear. Komachi has good communication skills, it behaves all quite friendly. This was evident when she spoke to yukinoshita and Yuigahamoy, and even Haruno-san, so I'm sure she can communicate normally even with a person who sees for the first time. Even during the summer holidays, when we went to the mountain near the village of Chiba, Komachi, being the only high school student, naturally merged with us, and with a group of Hayama. That is why I can not understand what her problem with Orimoto. To Komachi so seriously reacted to this ... I'm sure someone somewhere stepped on someone's sore spot. However, it is impossible to return it back, you can just add something to correct in a way that does not hit home.

"You like it does not like?" - I carefully disguised question "did she repugnant?" To which Komachi negatively waved his head and continued, as if adding something.

"No, not in this case. Orimoto-senpai is not repugnant to me, on the contrary - I like these open-minded people "

Of course.Orimoto good and bright, in theory, it should not be repugnant Komachi. I should not have imagined it all.

"But people around her, you know ... As if ... does not produce a very good impression," - head down, hard Komachi said. Because of this, I did not see her face. Ah, so that's the reason that keeps this distance Komachi with Orimoto. Even from these snatches it becomes clear that she wants to say. I think an interesting story about how I confessed Orimoto and was rejected, the rumor spread among the considerable number of people. So, no wonder that Komachi, who went with us to the same school, also heard about it. Surely it is not very pleasant to hear someone laughing, tells the story of her brother, who was rudely rebuffed. Surely she herself was very ashamed, and this left bad memories. She says somehow vaguely, but its behavior is all clear.

She had many friends, in other words, it was about a lot of different people with different value systems, and certain among them were those who could make someone laughing stock for his own pleasure. Somehow-it-machi, which also goes to school Kayhin, is one such example. Ridiculed because not just one person, but all around him.

"I'm sorry" - I blurted out. I should have noticed it sooner, and more time to say it. Perhaps now it is pointless to talk about it. So it's not an apology or repentance, but rather the promise.

"But you can not survive. Now nothing like this. I will not let you suffer. In high school will not be anything like the average "- I said soothingly and put his hand on the head of Komachi. I do not want to experience is either very or allow someone to survive. The most important thing for me - to live the way I see fit, and invisibly protect their environment. I will not have my thoughts or wishes to speak, give them a look. In principle, when I grow up, then I think of what to do with it. But, most likely, it will be too late, and I'm just going with chest pain to remember the old days.

As I thought about it, Komachi looked at me with a blank stare. It appears on her head was not only my hand, but also a question mark inside. But after I was a little shook her head stroking her, she looked at me doomed something informed views and took a deep breath.

"Oh ... I see. That's how brother thinks ... "- said Komachi and removed from the head of my hand.

"Listen, brother," - said Komachi and sat in front of me in the same position as me, cleared her throat, as if checking voice raised a finger up and began to speak.

"It looks like you have something misunderstood, so I'll speak for all. Friends Orimoto-Sempai enrage me frankly, I can not tolerate them. But what of you fooling around, I was not a bit worried. I even agree with them in this "

"Ah ..."

St. agree ?! Komachi went into a rage and went.

"Especially you, even doing nothing, was a walking joke to many. And even I shoot all sorts of jokes about you "

"Ah ..."

That's how it ?! I'm depressed. How cruel, Komachi. I lowered my shoulders and stared at the floor. Even angry.So that, for me, the one you're holding. I looked at Komachi angry look. She, too, was looking at me.

"So, how stupid do you have any thing, how stupid you would any kind, I will recognize you. I will always be for you. Because I - your little sister "- a contract Komachi and shyly looked down, her sweet smile, her respective age person. But this affectionate look seems much older mine.

"I think I will not do anything stupid or look idiotic. Well, I understand, thank you "- something as simple as a child and I answered. Komachi, it seems, came to the role and nodded back at me like a big sister.

"Well, once I understood. Try not to think about such things, for the sake of Komachi, okay? "

"I do not think"

Komachi hissed language, and smiled contentedly.

"Well, perhaps, eat ice cream," - said Komachi, stood up, holding the kotatsu, which is why it is slightly bent and returned to the original position, and then cover kotatsu trembled. I looked, because of what it was she suddenly noticed her lying on her mobile phone, which is intensely vibrated.

I picked up the phone in his hand and looked at the screen and saw ☆ ★ Yu ★ ☆. It calls me Yuigahama. I glanced at Komachi. Basically, I could answer here, but the words Komachi still swirling in my head - do not think about such things for the sake of Komachi. As if I did Komachi of an excuse to get away. But you can not just rely on Komachi. Furthermore, due to the fact that Komachi is here not even want to talk to her. No, it is necessary to deal with this yourself.

I took in one hand and a cell phone came from the living room into the cold aisle. I stood on the cold floor with one leg like a flamingo, and leaned against the wall. Vibration is still a cell phone caller is transferred throughout the body. He was still shaking. I made a little sigh, ostensibly to calm him down and pressed a button on the phone.

"Hello ..." - I answered the call. By the way, I have not thought about what she wants to talk, yes already late. Although there is no see ysla to think about it. If you think the answer in advance and what words to teach him, it would be a lie, and nothing but lies. Pre-prepared speech and answers - this is not what you feel, it's a lie.

"Oh, Hickey! Can you talk? "- I heard a familiar voice from the tube. I thought that it is not necessary to prepare not to utter false words.

According to the authors, part 2

Good afternoon, I'm working. Although no longer the time of day, so to say hello. And why time passes so quickly? Thus, the second part of the word author. The title of this volume - «Oregairu.n», continuation of the story that ran in the special edition of the first DVD \ BD, «Oreraigu.a». From these letters obtained word «an». What will happen next? Toro! Ah, I wanted to show off their new knowledge of French, obtained recently at the university, but in the end came the French joke. By the way, the French language is so complex that it must then pass again to remember. In other words, I do not remember. The only thing I remember - is "The same DOE drops Pierre," which means "my name is Pierre." In addition, the sense of language, these words have something to do ... I forgot! Moreover, even if the example sentences to memorize, they still will not be enough to master the language. At least, if only from books to teach. But, at least, all the exams can be useful. It seems to be something akin to learning any math and arithmetic formulas.

This, of course, my personal opinion, but mostly only in the classroom has to cram by heart. Originality and creativity there is almost not needed, and if I had someone during study said that in this way you can develop skills, I would look at him like a fool. And then when you come to get a job, you ask some nonsense like "come up with a plan that until then no one came up with," and you sit, remember to study and think, why are you even taught it all? By the way, if you still think up a plan that no one before you come up with, then you may well say "we have not seen someone so doing, has been rejected" or "this method is unknown to us, we can not." But then why would I work? And you're standing there and you think, really, what the hell am I doing here? Adults sometimes want to say, as a school warden in glasses with a rope, "Chief, let's not double standards!"

Although for me, as a humanist, the formula "= learning hack" - this is a matter of course, and I often confuse it with this training. Although, maybe it's just me that.

But I - that I, and my preparation for employment - a "Ah, piece of cake, conductive remember all the answers to questions about why I want to work with them, and the trick is done." Well, not passed - and not passed. If a written exam at the labor exchange can still go through the interview - it's a strange thing, it will not pass. And even if you're lucky with the first, the second, third and further is unrealistic, and now - more than fifty companies have sent a message of refusal. By the way, the first sent me a rejection Shogakukan publishing 20. Until now, they get angry.

Just among these attempts thought occurred to me, but what's the point I prepare for an interview? Later, I noticed it. And the next thing I knew - hell, I'll stay unemployed and when I finish university ... but, wait, I'm a writer ranobe. In general, I wandered in different places, lied to, always and everywhere, and in the end, just before the release found a job - writer ranobe! Then, I gain muscle mass and found the girl. And no, not found. The "lie at the interview," there are some negative notes, but now I think maybe asked're not interesting answers to common questions and their own answers that you're trying to get out of himself, or tried to get me into my own answers.

But it is necessary to reject his theory beautifully built - and stay with empty hands. But empty-handed just be something to grab. Interestingly, I grab?

In general, "Oregayru.n" ready.

So, with that now write? I think you may have guessed, so wait with anticipation of the next volume. So long as the story it turns out, it is still ahead five volumes! It seems that there is a slow, but in fact it is gradually accelerating. Ahah, I stray motorcyclist! It seems to me that the time flies so fast ... probably because I myself soon tridtsatnik. I think by the time you read this text, broadcast anime has already ended. Time is running fast. And this season anime flying in no time! Well, did you like? I ochumet how much!

You know how it is nice to remember the good things from the past, if you're all filled with happiness, and then, opening his eyes to the reality of the work, I want to die. But as long as you do not look at it - you're happy.

In short, I've got a problem with space for text, so move on to talk about anime and explanations about the different episodes. This BD \ DVD we have the second and third episodes of the anime, and I will share my impressions as a viewer, listener, well, at the same time as the author of the original. Ready?

Let's start with the second episode, "His and her recognition nobody reached."

To-to-to-to-com-um-Achi !!!! Komachi was a real cutie before opening theme. Finally, the second episode in the anime there was a universal sister, Hikigaya Komachi! This week seemed so long! It is not necessary to relax, seeing Komachi. And Totsuka cutie? Stop. But most of all I liked the Kava-as-it-there in the house with monsters.

I wish that they would be a great trip from start to finish, but ... why did it happen? It's Hachiman blame. And Hayama. Their comparison was before, but as a direct and noticeable, it was only in these episodes. But acknowledge that "mapping" is not in the sense that they - contrary. Their differences thrown in sight, but there are also similar features. That is why they can not accept any of their similarities or differences. However, compared with the events up to the sixth volume ranobe, Hachiman already partially understand the thinking of Hayama.

In the second episode of Hachiman and Hayama already know the initial conditions of the situation, so they had no reason to stand still. Initially, they were on different sides, to balance their actions, but after a conversation at the bridge Togetsukё balance is disturbed and got what we got. If Hachiman not understand the situation in which they found themselves, then, no matter how the conversation took place, to such a decision, he would not come. He's not friendly with Hayama, Tobe, and possibly with Ebina, so I would not due to a simple call to do yourself harm. Therefore, it was not a manifestation of kindness Hachiman and reparation. With this in mind, his actions could be called arrogant for his own satisfaction. Looking at his action, I want to say, they say, well, what the heck? Or, we can say that if Hachiman, faced with so many problems, has chosen this plan as the best, it is - the limit of Hachiman. You can compare this with a sense of the player to whom dropped all the cards the other player, and he himself remained in the hands of just one card. Like, so what am I going to do?

As a result, we see the reaction of all the characters in front of our eyes. Denial. Denial Yukino, Yui denial, denial Hachiman. Of course, each of them has its denial. But they can no longer align with each other and hold one common line. What kind of boring!

He did not question his actions. He, she, they, all boys and girls, nothing mentioned in his thoughts. Hmm ... Read original.

The situation became more confusing because of the emergence of a new player, Ebina Hina. It is - yet another mirror in which can look Hachiman. Although, if you say so, then everyone is a mirror for someone ... This atmosphere continued the third episode. Komachi at the beginning - a cutie! Cutie? But I thought that, well, that's the beauty, friendly brother and sister, and not - quarreled. It is Hachiman blame. That's all it is.

He lost his last oasis Komachi. Usually at this point it would appear cute Totsuka, but no. In this case, while traveling Hachiman himself received the impact of what I was staring, and even regular coffee tastes seemed somehow different. What is it boring! And even in the room for some discomfort.

And then there is, well, is not that a savior - a new character, a first year Isshiki Iroha. Just like Irohasu 21. What's Irohasu? .. Yes, type Irohasu. But her request, from which she came, has its own circumstances. The story is carried out on behalf Hikigai Hachiman, so details of her case are still unknown. But you probably already knew that, even appearing in the background, it is already a mirror Hachiman.

In the second part of the third episode of the screen out of the last symbol of Hachiman, Orimoto Kaori. Events, which are associated with her name, mentioned earlier. I hope readers will have seen her name? No? I do not know either.Standing at the foundations of the history of this girl does not seem an unusual. Open to limit fan of any subculture, but to be honest, it just seems to talk to her - and immediately fell in love. By myself I know. That's a new character came on the scene, what will happen now? See the next series. In these two episodes, there are many places to which I would draw attention, but the main key place, it seems, was not included in the anime. In the grove and on the roof is especially felt oppressive atmosphere, and weakness in the relationship Iroha and Orimoto guys show better than could be described in words. I even went goosebumps. Review a few times these episodes, there are many places that just can not be described in the books.

And in general, where the anime romantic comedy? It is not here! The name has a romantic comedy, and here - a single gram! What kind of irresponsibility! Of course, it is - part of the structure of the work, what can be no doubt. But even romantic comedy in this work will be an important part, showing its true value. Which side will go the same story from the starting point of these two episodes? I will be very glad if you look further.

I have written here also their personal impressions of the second and third episodes of the anime. Thank you watched them with me. In the same manner and in the following volumes I will write something like his explanation, so, if you wish, do not pass by, I do not just Mara paper. Read the next volume! The main work and the A-series are still not long to go, do not miss!

Now, thanks.
