[ [Eeeeeeeeee !?] ]
The outlandish statement made me and Yuuka’s voices harmonize in surprise.
“W-why are you talking nonsense, Mizuki chan? If you say something strange, Sota kun will be troubled”
Yuuka looked a little flustered.
I also got flustered for a moment, but then I thought about it and realized that it was an innocent comment by a small child and there was no need for me to be so impatient.
“Sota Onii chan, are you troubled?”
“Well, now that you said it, I am, or not?”
“? I don’t understand. I mean, which is it?”
In response to my ambiguous answer, Mizuki chan tilted her head in a cute elementary-school-like manner.
“You know, Mizuki. When it comes to things like that, mutual feelings are what’s most important. Even if you decide to start dating, it’s best to take your time and get to know each other a lot.”
Yuuka explained in a strangely rapid speech as if she were rambling.
Apparently, Yuuka is still flustered.
I don’t think there’s any need to take it seriously since it’s something a small child would say.
I don’t think Mizuki chan really understands what it means for a man and a woman to be in a relationship in the first place.
I think she is probably thinking of a relationship like good friends in elementary school.
“Then you mean you should get to know each other better and better starting today, right? Onee chan and Sota Onii chan, let’s get to know each other a lot and start dating from today !”
Sparkling (innocent and pure eyes looking up at me).
“Erm…..”
“Umm……”
“If Onee chan and Sota Onii chan become good friends, Mizuki will be very happy because she can be with Sota Onii chan!”
Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle (like the clear sky on a winter morning, eyes without even a speck of dirt).
“Ummm…….”
“That……um…….”
Yuuka and I flinched at Mizuki chan’s pure and honest words.
“…Is that no good? Can’t Onee chan and Souta Onii chan get along?”
“T-that’s not true. Right, Sota kun? We can be good friends, can’t we?”
“T-that’s right. We will be good friends soon, right?”
Yuuka and I glanced at each other and made eye contact side by side and decided to talk to Mizuki chan for now.
“Then good. I can’t wait for Onee chan to become Sota Onii chan’s girlfriend !”
“Y-yeah……I guess so…….”
“Oh, ah….. yeah…….”
I’ve never talked to her before until today.
[Actually, we’re just classmates who aren’t that close, so it’s a little difficult. Today is the first time we talked.]
I honestly couldn’t say that. Yuuka and I both.
That’s how I tried to convince Mizuki chan by telling a little bit of a gentle lie.
“Well then, Sota Onii chan, bye-bye !”
“Bye bye, Mizuki chan. Don’t catch a cold, okay?”
“Sota Onii chan, you too !”
“Haha, thank you.”
“See you at school tomorrow, Sota kun.”
“Yeah, you too Yuuka, bye-bye.”
I said goodbye to them.
Mizuki chan waved me off as I turned a corner and walked home, waving her hands in the air until she couldn’t see me anymore.
And so it went.
Thanks to Mizuki chan’s open and honest nature, my sudden visit to the Himemiya household ended with a lot of happenings.
But it was fun.
As I walk home, I think back on today’s events, and naturally a soliloquy leaks out of my mouth.
I even got to call Himemiya san ‘Yuuka’.
Isn’t that amazing?
I’m definitely the only boy who can do that.
I can’t help but grin at the feeling of not-insignificant superiority.
The “worst day of my life,” which began with my girlfriend coming out of the love hotel with her cheating partner, had surprisingly turned into a restful day.
“All’s well that ends well !”
I’m going to forget about my ex-girlfriend Shiori, or rather Kuzugaya, and go about my daily life as usual again from tomorrow !
I walked down the darkened street with a brand-new feeling as if I had been reborn.
