The sound of fireworks one after another echoed in the lively streets.

My brother and I looked up to watch the fireworks side by side. I held the apple candy, clasped my hands and said, "I like my brother the most!"

"Are you stupid? I can't get a response..." My brother gave me a blank expression and rolled his eyes. He seemed to have thought of something and stopped what he was going to say next.

"Eh? What's the response?" I asked.

"Anyway, have you had enough fun?"

"Yeah!" I smiled contentedly.

"Then let's go back." My brother stretched out his hand to me, which made me feel a little unpredictable, as if it was troubling him. He led me away from the streets of the Summer Festival.

Walking on the quiet road, I looked at him again and held his hand tightly: "Hey, brother, let's come to the Summer Festival together next year? In that case, brother will also be happy, right?"

The answer to me was silence, but I still turned my head to look at him. The fox mask was still on his head, but my brother's face under the moonlight still had no expression. Maybe he couldn't stand my gaze, so he had to turn his head too.

Come.

"I won't be happy."

"……real?"

"But you can just be lazy."

"so……"

"Then work hard and do your job well."

The hope that had been extinguished lit up again.

"Well! I will definitely work hard! Then my brother will come with me, right?"

A suspicious red cloud flew onto my brother's face: "Really, don't misinterpret my meaning!"

"Then...brother..."

"Don't ask! If you ask again, I'll go back now!"

"……that……"

"Don't show that expression!"

On the way, I was thinking about how to tell my father such a happy thing. My father would drink wine and touch my head with his big hand, but he would not listen to my brother's words.

It will definitely be like this.
