「Well then, Oniichan, shall we go?」
When I decide to try and guide Oniichan, he suddenly grips my hand.
「Wh- what, Oniichan!?」
「Well, with you being so cute, it makes me nervous for you to go off on your own」
「Eeh!?&h.e.l.lip;No it’s alright. And, this is embarra.s.sing&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
It was a justifiable complaint. For brothers to hold hands, is definitely embarra.s.sing—

「What are you saying? You know you’re happy about it」

Eh? What did he just say?
「Wh- what are you saying!? There’s no way&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;」
