It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when Chiba Higashino came back.

As a student who is about to enter the third year of high school, her work and rest time can be said to be extremely regular.

After returning home, I had a meal first. After dinner, I entered the house to solve the homework left by the teacher during the course. After the homework was completed, I started to review at home independently, until I came out at six o'clock in the evening to take a rest for half an hour and chat with my brother.

Then I went into the room and reviewed the knowledge points until I turned off the lights and went to bed at 11:30 pm and got up at 5:30 the next day...

This process can be said to be repeated without any changes.

But... it made Chiba Higashino feel sorry for his younger brother Higashinoji.

He was obviously his sister, but he asked him to help cook, eat and drink his... This was not much different from his sister who was parasitic to his younger brother!

You should know that my dream is that when I grow up, I make a lot of money, and then I don’t get married, so I can be a brother-supporting demon - helping Ashi survive in this society.

As a result, my dream was not realized, but my younger brother kept helping me...

What's this?

Chiba Higashino doesn’t think there is anything wrong with helping each other in the family... it’s just that my younger brother has helped me too much.

The most important thing is that my family is not as cute as before, as I blushed when I say a few words to a girl.

Sometimes I would take the initiative to tease myself as my sister... I would say that my face turned red and I felt that there was no majesty at all.

Therefore, Chihaki Higashino decided to talk to Higashino today about this issue!

And she couldn't help but keep asking Higashinoji to do this and that just because she needed an exam... This is not good.

There is a saying that only by thanking each other can family go further.

Therefore, Chihaki Higashino also wants to share some housework!

Not all my sister has to rely on Asi!

With this idea in mind, Chisaki Higashino walked into the house, looked around and shouted softly, "As? Is Asa at home?"

Not at home?

Chiba Higashino felt a little strange.

You should know that at this time, Higashinoji should have been going home considering her as a candidate...

But why didn't there be any movement today...?

Chiba Higashino put down his shoulder bag, put his little feet in black stockings into his Kumamoto Slippers, and then called Higashinoji twice, but still received no response.

"Asia really didn't come back?"

Chiba Higashino looked at the empty living room and was just as confident that he wanted to tell Higashinoji that "sister doesn't have to rely on Asi" completely disappeared.

She glanced around, reached out and grabbed her hair, sat on the sofa, then reached out and grabbed her hair, looking fidgeting.

Could it be that you are still working overtime in the studio?

When will Asi come back?

Chihaya Higashino pouted, and his little feet in Kumamoto's slippers flew into the air, boredly swaying one after another.

The Kumamoto bear pattern on the Kumamoto slippers covered her mouth and smiled secretly.

She is a standard girlish mentality.

I was full of confidence before seeing Higashinoji, but I felt a little lonely even if I couldn't see Higashinoji...

I have to say that girls’ moods are sometimes so difficult to understand.

But soon, Chihiro Higashino had already discovered something was wrong.

“How did the storage room door open?”

Chihaya Higashino, who was sitting in the living room, could see that the storage room door was wide open.

She looked at the storage room door with a little strange.

It doesn't seem like it was blown away by the wind, but it seems like it was opened by someone.

This discovery made Chiba Higashino suddenly feel excited.

She swallowed her saliva, then stood up and called, "As?"

Still no one echoed.

This made Chiba Higashino suddenly nervous.

Cases like home stealing are very common in any country.

Chihaya Higashino has also seen many news reports that "the thief was blocked by the head of the household and was so angry that he killed people in anger."

This kind of association is basically the more you think about it, the more you become, the more you become scared, and Chihae Higashino is no exception.

Soon her mind went completely apart, and her mind was filled with a murderer who might be hiding a murderer with a weapon in her house.

But then Chihiro Higashino had long thought of Komari Ryoka and others who were having a study meeting next door, so he hurried out.

Then the three Konowa Lianghua trio who had been baking the feet in the stove was called over.

"What? There is a thief?"

In a speech of standard Japanese English, Yumi Takahashi, who was bored and caring words, heard Chihashi Higashino's words, and then turned over and stood up.

She hurriedly asked Chihaki Higashino: "Where is the thief?"

Her excited appearance made Chihaki Higashino a little confused.

No...that's a thief.

Maybe there is still a weapon hidden.

We are all soft and weak high school girls... How come you are so excited when facing such a fierce opponent?

Chihae Higashino could not understand Takahashi Yumi's novel ideas and subconsciously replied:

“In my storage room…”

Then she opened her mouth wide and watched Takahashi Yumiyo rushing out of the door without hesitation.

Yumi Takahashi had been memorizing the book for a long time and was a little confused. Now that I heard such an interesting thing, I certainly didn’t hesitate at all.

She ran out very quickly, and even the Guard Lianghua, who had been prepared for a long time, couldn't hold on to this guy.

"Yumi!" Konomi, who was just about to call Higashinoji, exclaimed.

"It's over! That stupid guy! Could it be that I want to go and trouble the thief alone?"

Fujiwara Aoi, who was a little weak in her hands and feet while roasting the stove, struggled to get up from the monster of the stove: "Let's go and see the situation... Lianghua, call Teacher Higashino first."

This stupid guy!

Do you dare to fight against the criminals who enter the house with a bamboo knife?

What if there is still a murder weapon hidden?

That is not the type of chest device on Konowa Lianghua's chest, but can it really see blood?

The three little girls formed a group and rushed to the living room of Higashino's house again, which felt like they were grouped together to play the boss in online games.

Then the three of them saw Yumi Takahashi standing in the storage room with bamboo knives, with a strange expression.

Um?

What's the situation?

Originally, the three little girls thought that as soon as they entered the door, Takahashi Yumi had already fought with each other, and they might even see blood.

Why is this guy standing at the door?

Higashino Chihaya and the others were lying at the door.

Yumi Takahashi, who was standing in the storage room, obviously discovered them.

She stretched out a finger to her lips to signal them to be quiet, then pointed to the storage room, which was more like a look that signaled them to keep quiet and come to see.

This made Konoha Ryoka, who was walking in the front, unable to help but blink, and didn't quite understand what Takahashi Yumi meant.

However, seeing Takahashi Yumi looked relaxed and thought it was not a dangerous thing, so the three of them walked forward two steps.

then--

Fujiwara Aoi accidentally stepped on the sword bag thrown by Takahashi Yumi, staggered forward and almost slipped, and a low cry of "Oh" sounded in her mouth.

Fujiwara Aoi's voice was very fast and not loud.

But it made Takahashi Yumi, who had just kept them quiet, anxious.

She couldn't help but look over and shouted unhappily: "Who!"

Her voice became loud and full of energy, which broke the tranquil atmosphere in an instant.

"..." Fujiwara Aoi was speechless.

OK... You guy keep me quiet, but your voice is too loud, right?

The three of them didn't care whether it was quiet or not, so they just jogged into the storage room.
To be continued...
