Unexpected wholesome moment between them. What the fuck why

 

[n3na3]

hang on werent they opponents killing eachother in a ring of fire with wooden planks as weapon just a few chapters ago?

 

[Mangamoz]

Reaches for the "special glasses".

Oh wait they're brothers...

Puts glasses away quietly.

The brother's been exclusively a dickbag to our MC for spending time with his crush when he's been doing the same thing with no hatred sent back his way, so I kinda thought his character was just being an asshole. Strange way to add depth to his character though.

 

[HawkGoggles]

Oh no, they are only have conflict by circumstance.

 

[UdenEmpati]

Oh no, they are only have conflict by circumstance.

Nah - the older brother could absolutely just choose not to be pissed off at MC, just because the FMC likes MC and not the older brother.

That's not "conflict by circumstance", that's a petty jerk who's already seen as superior to his younger sibling in every way by everyone else, choosing to be vindictive and aggressive toward a family member over some unrequited crush.

Not to mention, I'd be surprised if the Ayato didn't know about Yuito having a thing for Suzuno

They’re brothers… it’s not like they’re mortal enemies or something

 

[UdenEmpati]

They’re brothers… it’s not like they’re mortal enemies or something

I was just mirroring the comment directly above that one with the inverse sentiment - which is why I fully copied the first sentence.

If he does actually know about MC's crush on the younger sister and is doing this anyway, then he really is just being super petty lol

It's a really silly setup for the main conflict of the manga, I admit, but the FMC is the reason I kept coming back to each chapter as she's the competent one of the cast and is a fun character to read (though I do wish she wasn't using the old trope of "not telling the MC the whole story and waiting to see him figure it out" - I know it's so the plot can be stretched into additional chapters, but, still a tad annoying to sit through).

That's asking a lot from a teenager and the worst that we've seen is slight glares and a bit of curtness. Even if he wasn't being petty, that's still conflict just like the MC wanting to date the younger sister. Conflict is clashing desire, its not inherently mean. I really like that they can get along even if there's a big problem between them.

Ok now im confused

I would say the contextual differences in their situations are what set the two brothers apart and shown that the "conflict" is more substantial.

His older brother is lauded by everyone around them as the superior sibling and the MC has a substantial inferiority complex about it.
Additionally, the FMC is the one pursuing the MC, and he's more-or-less being dragged along at her pace. While from what little we've seen thus far, his brother is actively reciprocating the younger sister's advances, even as he's professed to have repeatedly confessed to the FMC.

And yet, in spite of the MC's reticence to go along with everything the FMC is pushing on him, his brother is still upset at him. And on multiple occasions, the MC is worried about being found out doing this or that with the FMC (the hotel getaway comes to mind) when MC found out his mom OK'd an overnight trip with FMC, he said in his own words, "don't tell my brother okay? He might kill me if he finds out".

Which, he said aloud to their mother.

That at least indicates that the MC is actually afraid of his brother's temper when it comes to interacting with the FMC, and that even if we haven't seen it depicted, there's a level of perceived animosity on the brother's part that has the MC trying to hide what he's doing at every turn.

Additionally, the MC is more despairing over his crush liking his brother than he is mad about it, at least in comparison to the way his brother behaves. At the very least, all of the MC's frustrations around that are turned inward; his brother's are turned outward, and specifically pointed at him.

All of that reads as actual aggression toward the MC, to me, in a manner that makes this Extra story feel almost out of place in comparison to how they're interacting each time in the main narrative.

That's not to say they can't get along ever, but I also don't think one nice moment shown between them disproves that his brother is being a jerk to him in that actual in-progress plot.

What the character is feeling inside can be completely different than what we see outside. That's the difference between internal and external conflict. I already told you everything we've seen his brother actually do. As for how he handles the younger sister the most that we've seen is him grabbing her so she doesn't bumped into. We still don't know how he views his relationship with her, but we can assume that their roles are reversed and both boys are being imposed upon by both sisters. These sisters are the point of their external conflict. If they weren't there, at least the older brother wouldn't have anything to be jealous about.

The MC's inferiority complex is his own problem. That's his own internal conflict. Its not his brother's fault that he's just better than him in some aspects. Sure his brother can be mad sometimes but that complex can exaggerate how mad his brother actually gets. MC also knows his brother likes FMC so there's no point in making him jealous for no reason. But even if we take the sisters out of the equation, we haven't seen anything that shows his brother going out of his way to make sure the MC has this complex in any malicious way. These two handle their jealousy in different ways but that's all it is. So when those girls aren't in the equation, they can just be brothers who goad each other on to to do dumb kid stuff like normal siblings do.

This short chapter tells me that while his brother can be really jealous, that whole "I'm gonna kill him" persona is all in his head, or at the very least reserved for the girl he likes. Also all of his mental delusions of his brother seemed to be played as a joke more than anything. The most we've seen of MC being disparaged about his brother are when his classmates wished they had him on their team in gym or something, and when he saw his crush with him. That's not his brother's fault, he cant control how other people think and feel just like the MC can't.
