“……Why are Suzuno and Aniki here?”
“That’s our line, though, isn’t it?”
I didn’t understand the situation at all, but my brother seemed to be the same. Then Kano san, who was sitting next to me and drinking a caramel Frappuccino, opened her mouth.
“Oh, I sent a message to Suzuno chan and called Ayato here.”
“I see, it was Kano san.”
“……Don’t tell me you have something important to tell me and Suzuno?”
After listening to Kano san’s words, my brother exclaimed with a clearly upset face. I don’t know what he’s imagining, but it feels like the end of the world.
“By the way, what do you think, Ayato……?
“Ayato kun looks like he’s about to die, so don’t waste our time and tell him quickly.”
Suzuno protested while giving Kano san a stern look when didn’t want to get into the main topic. Suzuno is as kind as ever.
“Suzuno chan is so impatient with me. Well, it’s just that I wanted the four of us to have a nice chat for the first time in a while.”
“….Eh, that’s all?”
“Yeah, Suzuno chan said the other day that she wanted the four of us to get together like in the past.”
My brother had a disappointed look on his face. I also thought there was some deep reason behind this, so I’m surprised.
And I don’t want to tell you that I was a little amused to see my brother’s expression change so much in such a short period of time.
“Oh, you remembered, Onee chan.”
“Of course, who do you think I am?”
Kano san seemed quite proud of herself as she said this. It seems that her ability to consistently rank first in her class in high school and get into Sahota University, the most difficult private university in existence, is not just for show.
“The four of us haven’t had a chance to get together and talk lately, that’s for sure.”
“That’s why I wanted to get together with me, Onee chan, Ayato kun and Yuito kun after a long time.”
Suzuno had a grin on her face when she heard my words. After that, Suzuno and my brother bought drinks and sat down on the seats facing us.
Suzuno seemed to have wanted to sit opposite Kano san, so he chose that seat. Therefore, Suzuno is sitting opposite me through the process of elimination.
I have no complaints because both my brother and I have the same needs. While I was thinking about this, my brother spoke to Kano san.
“It’s almost halfway through June, have you gotten used to college life yet, Kano san?”
“After about two months, I finally feel like I don’t feel so different anymore.”
“Come to think of it, Onee chan has been saying for a while that she feels weird because it’s different from what it was up until high school.”
I remember hearing similar stories from Kano san many times. I’ve heard many times that college classes are 90 minutes long, which is too long.
“How is high school life going for you, Ayato?”
“I’m doing pretty well, I’ve been getting first place test scores all year, and I was chosen as a regular member of the soccer team.”
My brother seemed to be happy that Kano san asked him about himself, and was a little excited.
“I see, I[‘m pretty sure Yuito is in seventh place, you brothers are both excellent.”
“Ayato kun and Yuito kun are both amazing, and even though I was pretty good this time, I was a little above the middle.”
I felt a tremendous sense of defeat as Suzuno looked at me and my brother with sparkling eyes. The difference between 1st and 7th place seems close, but it’s extremely far away. No matter how hard I try, this gap doesn’t seem to be closing in the slightest.
No, considering that my brother from the soccer club has better grades than me, who has more free time because I’m in the go home club, I might actually be further behind.
As I’m feeling depressed and alone, the phone in my pocket vibrates. I take out my phone and look at the screen, where I saw a photo of Kano san wearing only black underwear.
“!?”
I was so surprised that I dropped my phone on the floor. Apparently, Kano san had sent it to me using the screen-sharing function on her phone. No, no, what was she thinking at a time like this?
“Yuito, what’s wrong all of a sudden?”
“Nothing.”
Kano san asked me this with a blank look on her face, but as I was trying to pick up the smartphone that had fallen under the table, I noticed that Suzuno had already crouched down and was about to pick it up.
I was thinking that Suzuno was kind after all, but I soon realized that it was a bad situation. If Suzuno picks up my phone, the print circle that I took with Kano san on the back side of the phone will be revealed.
I can only see a future of trouble if she sees it. That’s why I raise my voice in a panic.
“Ah, Suzuno, wait a minute !?”
So I stopped Suzuno and tried to collect it directly with my own hands, but unfortunately it was too late. Suzuno had taken a close look at the print circle..
“Eh, when did you two take these print circle?”
“Could you please tell us more details?”
Suzuno looked surprised to see the print circle, and my brother clearly looked displeased. It’s all Kano san’s fault, who sent me weird photos.
