From the atmosphere at the dining table, it could be seen that the relationship between the three siblings wasn't very good.
No.
To be more precise, it should be said that the younger sister, Naoba, and the two older brothers weren't very close.
In fact, when Rozen was first adopted and brought to this family, the relationship between Rozen, Kazato, and Naoba was still very good.
Even if Rozen hid in his room every day, Kazato and Naoba would often drag him out of the room and play with him for the whole day.
At that time, the three of them were like real siblings, and they loved each other very much.
At least, compared to when they were in the Akabane family, Rozen, Kazato, and Naoba were more like siblings. There was no topic of magic, no clan members pointing fingers at them, they just got along as ordinary siblings.
When the three of them were in elementary school, their grandfather, who was passionate about kendo, began to educate the three of them. He brought the three of them to a nearby dojo and prepared to let them learn kendo.
This was the turning point of the relationship between the three of them.
Due to the continued practice of magic, Rozen's physical fitness was as low as ever, plus he had no interest in kendo, so he didn't follow his grandfather's arrangements and obediently learned kendo.
Kazato didn't know if he was influenced by Rozen, but after coming into contact with games, he also became addicted to the Internet and began to fiddle with the computer. He was not willing to learn kendo at all.
Because of this, his grandfather was furious and even prepared to teach Rozen and Kazato a lesson, which scared Naoba to tears.
As a result, Rozen and Kazato indulged in the world of the Internet, and Naoba began to devote herself to kendo under his grandfather's arrangements, even after his grandfather passed away, she didn't give up.
Just like that, Rozen and Naoto had a lot more in common, and their relationship was getting better and better. On the contrary, Naoto devoted herself to Kendo, and she was resentful of her two brothers who were addicted to the internet. She no longer played with them as much as she used to, and the distance between her and Naoto was getting farther and farther. In the end, even their daily conversation was reduced, and it became what it was now.
Of course, in addition to this, there were other reasons.
However, that was a story for another time.
Kiritani Cui had worried a lot about this, but in the end, she felt that it was impossible for her to get involved, so she could only helplessly give up.
Kirigakure could only ask this question.
"Today is Sunday. None of you have classes. Do you have any plans?"
It was enough to ask Kazuto and Naoyeh.
After all, Rozen was in a state of suspension and did not need to attend classes.
However, Kirigakure still asked everyone the same question, which made the three of them raise their heads slightly.
"That …" The man dodged his eyes and said, "I have some procedures that need to be done. I will stay in the room and won't come out."
What he meant was that he was going to stay in his room and play games.
"… I'll go to school later." Naoha didn't raise her head and said indifferently, "There's an activity in the club."
The implication was that he didn't want to stay at home and spend time with his two brothers.
On the other hand, Rozen was much more direct.
"Today is the opening day of the game. How can we not be the first to go online?"
Rozen didn't have any intention of avoiding the question. Seeing this, Kazuto nodded in agreement. After Kirigakure glared at him, he quickly lowered his head and continued eating.
"Really, you child …"
Kirigakure complained and was ready to preach to Rozen.
But …
"Is the game really that fun?"
Naoha's sudden question caused a slight change in the atmosphere.
Of course, it wasn't a good change.
"My brothers are obviously so smart. Brother Kirigakure can skip a grade and get a PhD. Kazuto can also write his own programs. Why do you always stay at home and play games?"
Naoha didn't look at Rozen. She just lowered her head and said this.
Seeing this, Kazuto didn't know what to say.
Rozen was the only one who answered after a long silence.
"It's nothing. I just like it."
This was the only reason Rozen could give.
As for the other reason, Rozen couldn't say it here.
After all, even if he told Naoha that there was something he wanted in the next game and he needed to become stronger, she wouldn't understand.
So …
"… Is that so?"
Naoha didn't say anything else. She just put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"I'm full."
After saying this, Naoha picked up the bamboo sword bag and walked out of the door.
"Wait, Naoha."
Kirigakure hurriedly chased after her. She turned around and glared at Rozen before leaving.
Only Rozen and Kazuto were left at the dining table.
"This is troublesome …" Kazuto sighed and said to Rozen, "You know that Naoha hates games. Can't you be more tactful?"
"What's the use of being tactful?" Rozen glanced at Kazuto and said, "Can you say something like 'No, I hate games. I just want to play' in front of others?"
"This …" Kazuto was suddenly speechless.
This was met with Rozen's disdain.
"Obviously, you like games very much. If you ask, you can't say anything against your heart. You still want me to be tactful."
Hearing this, Kazuto could only turn his head away awkwardly.
But …
"Is" That "going to be launched today?"
Kazuto's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, it's finally officially launched. I've been waiting for a long time."
Rozen shrugged, but his words revealed a considerable amount of anticipation.
November 6th, 2022.
On this day, the world will usher in a different change.
Rozen and Kazuto looked at each other and immediately sped up their eating speed. After finishing the breakfast in front of them, they put down their bowls at the same time.
"I'm full!"
After that, the two left their seats at the same time and rushed upstairs.
Before returning to the room, Rozen and Kazuto said something to each other.
"See you at one in the afternoon."
"Okay, see you at one in the afternoon."
After that, the two entered the room at the same time and closed the door.
…
After returning to the room, the first thing Rozen did was to turn off the computer that had been AFK. Then, he picked up an item placed on the mainframe that was placed on the side.
It was a streamlined helmet that could completely cover the head and face.
The helmet was mechanical, with various interfaces and indicators on it, which told others that this was not a helmet used to protect the head.
There were countless signal components buried inside, and the complex electric field generated by these components could be directly connected to the user's brain, so that the user did not need to use his own eyes and ears to directly send information to the brain's visual cortex and auditory cortex, allowing the user to "see" and "hear" the feeling of "seeing" and "hearing".
Of course, in addition to hearing and seeing, it could read and reproduce the so-called five senses, such as touch, taste, and smell.
Its body was a game console.
