Episode 41 – Are you seriously saying that Tsurugi-senpais are kind?

“Hey, it’s Ryoya-kun, isn’t it? I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“……What are you two doing here?”
“Onee chan suddenly started saying she wanted to go to the aquarium, so here we are.”

Inside the Aqualand Aquarium, Riona and I pretended to meet Ryoya by chance and talked to them.
Ryoya-kun looked surprised, while his sister, who was standing next to him, looked grumpy.
I had expected some sort of action when I interrupted the summer festival for just the two of them, but neither I nor Riona had expected that they would act so soon.
When we saw Ryoya-kun getting ready to go out on the surveillance camera, we were so caught off guard that we assumed he was probably going to a convenience store anyway.
So I never imagined that he was going to Aqualand Aquarium until I saw the location information on the remote monitoring app installed on Ryoya-kun’s smartphone.
We realized that Ryoya’s sister had completely outsmarted us, so we hurriedly prepared to go out, and here we are.

“Since we’re here, why don’t the four of you go around the Aqualand Aquarium with us?”
“I’m sorry to Tsurugi-senpai, but this evening is a time for me and onii chan to be alone, so please don’t disturb us.”

Ryoya’s younger sister has turned down Riona’s proposal with a resounding no. Well, I knew from the beginning that she would refuse, so there was no problem.
Because as long as Ryoya-kun is on our side, there is no problem. With this in mind, I opened my mouth.

“It’s definitely more fun if we go around together, don’t you think so too, Ryoya kun?”
“I’m really sorry for both of you, but I can’t go around with you this time because Mio is my priority. Besides, we’ve already been to almost all of the museums and even the dolphin show, so I don’t think there’s any point in going around together in the first place.”
“Onii chan and I are going to wander around the souvenir shop at random and then go home, so Tsurugi-senpai can enjoy themselves on their own.”

We were at a loss for words when we heard Ryoya and her sister’s reply. Since Ryoya and his siter have already seen most of the museum, it is unlikely that we can use the strategy of going around together with them.
On the other hand, it would obviously be unnatural for us to return with Ryoya and his sister without having seen most of the museum since we had just arrived. The fact that we were so careless and late is apparently a big blow to us.

“Well, we’re leaving now, goodbye.”
“Ouch, don’t pull too hard on my arm, ….. see you guys later.”

We could only watch in silence as Ryoya-kun was forcefully pulled by the right hand and taken away.

◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇　◇

After saying goodbye to Reona and Riona, we came to the souvenir stand. Various kinds of souvenirs such as sweets, stuffed animals, key chains, etc. were sold.
While we were wandering around the souvenir shop, I asked Mio a question that had been bothering me for a while.

“…… Hey, why are you so jealous of Reona and Riona?”
“Of course it’s because tsurugi-senpais are trying to seize something important to me.”
“Are they trying to steal something precious from you? I don’t have an image of two kind people doing such a thing.”

I did not know what Mio’s precious things were even after thinking about it, but it was very hard to believe that the girls would do such a thing. Then Mio opened her mouth with a face that seemed surprised and at the same time somewhat dumbfounded.

“Are you seriously saying that Tsurugi-senpai are kind?”
“Yeah, I’m rather serious, but …… is something wrong?”

Reona and Riona can be quite pushy and scary at times, but they are basically kind. In the first place, it’s hard to believe that they aren kind to a loner like me.

“I think onii chan is definitely being cheated by tsurugi-senpai, she looks like a very black-hearted vixen to me. To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if she was involved in some kind of criminal activity behind the scenes.”
“Hmmm, do you think so ……?”

Looking back, there were certainly a few moments when I felt like I was being black-hearted, but it was only a fraction of the overall picture.

“Anyway, you should be careful with those two people, because there might be something that you can’t take back.”
“If …… Mio says that much, I’ll keep it in the back of my mind.”

I would not have listened to the words of a complete stranger, but they were the words of my only sister, Mio. I probably don’t need to pay attention to it, but I’ll keep it in mind.

“Well then, let’s end this conversation, I want to concentrate on looking at the souvenirs. I know you know that, but you have to take care of my luggage.”
“Okay, I’ll take care of it. I will stay with you until you are satisfied.”

Then we went around the souvenir shop until Mio was satisfied and did a lot of shopping before going home.
