"After all, mother is very reluctant to let you go to Tokyo, so she wants to stay with you as long as possible now."

Sayu couldn't help but pause in the movements of his hands, nodded slightly without saying a word, and hummed.

My mother, who had always been cold and callous until her second year of high school, would never have done anything like helping her prepare supper, nor would she have cared about her life or death.

Because that person changed far more than one person.

The toes inside the cotton slippers twisted uneasily.

She suddenly missed that person so much, she wanted to see his face, listen to his voice, feel his body temperature...

"Speaking of which, Sayu."

My brother, who finished the sandwich first, asked nonchalantly: "Can I ask you something?"

"Ah, um, what's the matter...?"

"Do you still remember the bankbook you gave me a while ago? Didn't my mother ask me to deposit my college money in it?"

"Well, of course I remember...I'm sorry, I caused trouble to the family."

"Don't be stupid, our family is not short of money... I just want to ask you something."

"Huh……?"

"That's the passbook. Have you used it before?"

"A passbook... No, I don't remember using it. I always keep it in the cabinet."

"Really? You never used it once?"

"No."

Sayu shook his head, "After all, my brother and mother usually give me pocket money. That money is enough, and I don't need my bankbook at all."

"That's it..."

Ogiwara Kazusa's heart sank slightly, and his eyes scanned his sister's face inch by inch, as if to confirm that she was not lying.

Sayu, on the other hand, just tilted his head slightly in confusion, looking confused.

Brother frowned slightly and asked with some concern: "So...are you doing any part-time job?"

"What……?"

Sayu didn't understand what he meant, so he took a sip of wheat tea and replied:

"I don't have a part-time job. Although Yuko asked me if I wanted to work in a coffee shop together, I didn't agree to her because I was busy studying every day."

"Is it……"

Ogihara touched his chin and whispered to himself: "That's right...how can there be so many part-time jobs..."

"……elder brother?"

Looking at his brother who was worried for some reason, Sayu asked with concern: "Is there any problem?"

"Oh...it's nothing."

Ogihara Kazusa put on a smile and waved his hand.

"Okay, Sayu, keep studying. I'm going back. Remember not to stay up too late."

"Huh...? Oh, then I understand."

Ignoring his sister's confused reaction, the brother stood up and left the room.

After confirming that the door was closed, Ogiwara Kazusa reached into his pocket, took out a passbook and opened it.

[Balance amount: 27,000,000]

On my sister's account, there is a line of numbers clearly written on it.

Ogihara Kazusa's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and then he sighed in distress.

"...Where on earth did you get so much money?"

He looked at the bankbook in his hand, then at Sayu's room, then returned to his room with a heavy heart, and then sent an email to the company's secretary.

Considering that the client was currently concentrating on preparing for the exam, and his mother was not a suitable candidate for discussion, he decided to investigate on his own first...
