Fast Travel System: Male God Raiders 101 times

Chapter 519

Ami finished speaking in a completely different voice than usual, and walked down the stairs as if fleeing.

At this time, I heard a snort, and I became puzzled.

Couldn't have been crying just now, I thought.

To put it bluntly, she, who is so cheerful and annoying, is crying. I have never seen this kind of situation—except when she was moved to tears.Originally, she was a person with very violent emotional fluctuations. I have seen her look sad, but the look just now seems to be a little different from this one.

Half of it was anger, but it also contained sadness, that expression.

I had a vague feeling that I shouldn't just walk down the stairs like this.Before the breakfast is ready, I have to watch Ami's face, which is a bit troublesome.I can't just ask her "what's the matter?" without thinking, but I can't just turn a blind eye like "forget it, let him alone".

I stood in the corridor and glanced at my brother's room.Like a scene from a science fiction movie, a few thin wisps of smoke drifted out from the gap in the door that was opened a few centimeters.It looks like he's up and smoking.

I approached the door and peeked through the crack of the door. Sure enough, my brother was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigarette and reading a book.

"It's so early. It's really rare."

Then I walked into the room.My brother glanced at me, then slammed the book shut.

"……what's up."

he asked in a bored tone.In the past, as long as I was like this, I would completely lose the interest in talking and leave, but recently I have become used to this kind of "people who don't know what they are thinking".

"It's nothing... did something happen just now?"

"What's up?"

"Well, with Amy."

"...was woken up just now."

Well, since my brother is already up, that should be the case.If no one called him, I'm afraid it wouldn't matter if this man slept until the evening.

"I know that too...you were called out for something, right?"

"Nothing"

Without a moment's hesitation, I couldn't pursue it any further after being answered bluntly.Although it is undoubtedly "what happened", but it may just be from Ami's point of view, but to the brother, it feels "nothing happened".

"Oh, so..."

Anyway, I just took a look at the room to pass the time of waiting for breakfast. I didn't mean to make my brother unhappy, and I didn't have to find out the matter.

The elder brother put the closed book on the table, raised his head and blew out a puff of smoke toward the ceiling, and then pressed the cigarette in his mouth into an ashtray piled with a mountain of cigarette butts.

"Recently, how is Marilyn doing?"

When I was suddenly asked, I was stunned.

Then, he muttered "Oh..." and sighed.

Marilyn, that's An Yun's pen name.Before I knew that An Yun was a writer, my brother had been reading An Yun's works in literary magazines.Although I brought her to my house and introduced her as "An Yun", to my brother, An Yun is still "Marilyn".

"It seems that I have fallen into a creative slump."

"...Is that why I haven't seen the works recently?"

It was the first time I was asked about An Yun by my brother.Since ancient times, he has never shown any interest in others, so he rarely asks me about anything like this, and——

"Tell her I'm looking forward to the next work."

It was also the first time I heard him say such a thing.

"Ah, um..."

What the hell is going on here, I was thinking, when my brother lazily stood up and grabbed the cigarette and lighter boxes.
