After school is surprisingly lively.
Besides those like us who stay behind for the regular (*indecent talk session), there are students who enjoy chatting with friends and students who are busy with club activities. Recently, the first-year students have entered the school, and the club activities have become more active, so the ground is filled with busy voices.
The path to the school gate overlooking the grounds.
There, Yuzuha and I were walking.
“H-hey,……, isn’t that Minase-san?”
“cute,……, but it’s unusual. She’s going home with a boy.”
“And the boy pulled her by the arm,…….”
Her appearance, which is known as one of the three most beautiful girls, is what makes her stand out, and even though she is just walking around, people around her are staring at her.
I’m used to it to some extent because we sometimes go home together, but for some reason I was more concerned about the way they looked at me than usual.
As I was wondering why, a voice suddenly called out to me from behind.
“Um, Tsukkun…… hand.”
“Ah, my bad.”
I let go of her arm as soon as I was told.
I had thought that I was worried about the way they looked at me, but then I forgot to pull my arm back.
I guess it was because she had been embarrased. I finally realized it.
But—
“If you want, I can do this way.”
Yuzuha held out her hand to me gently.
Firmly, with her palms facing towards me
“……I don’t have a candy bar, if that’s what you’re after?”
“You treat me like a child!?”
“But, the exchange of money between childhood friends is …..as expected”
“I’m not asking for an allowance!?”
Well, that’s a joke.
Perhaps, just like in the morning, she wants to hold hands once again.
I’m glad to hear it. How many times have I told you that a man would be delighted to be able to hold hands with such a beautiful girl
“The …… gaze, though.”
Even if it’s just that, I’m getting more attention than usual right now.
If we go again in the morning, there will be even more rumors when we go to school tomorrow
“…Will you hold hands with me if I do a one shot gag?”
It is extraordinarily noticeable.
“Why the one-shot gag?”
“B-Because you said you want someone fun to hang out with. ……”
I think that’s more “interesting” than “fun”, though.
I like interesting people, too.
“Ah, perhaps plastic gloves…”
“I’m not concerned about hygiene!”
In this situation, it would be extremely rude for me to say, “I don’t mind if it’s through a plastic glove.”
And what’s even more frightening is that Yuzuha can tolerate it herself without complaint.
“Haa. …….”
I know she’s acting weird, but I didn’t expect her to be this aggressive.
Seeing Yuzuha looking depressed, I let out a little sigh.
However, I can’t continue to stand still in a place where many students pass by,
“Just let’s go home.”
I took Yuzuha’s hand and started to walk away.
“Y-yeah”
Yuzuha was also walking along with me.
When I glanced back, I saw that her beautiful face was dyed in vermillion, and I was embarrassed to be holding her hand.
“Ah, by the way, Tsukkun.”
Yuzuha came up beside me with a reddened face.
“I was wondering if Misato-san would be home today.”
Misato is my older sister.
She just graduated from high school and started college this year.
Perhaps it is because they are the same gender, Yuzuha gets along well with my sister. She even mentions my sister’s name many times as one of the reasons why she comes over to our house sometimes.
“Ah, I’m sure she’ll be back, but you’ll have to wait, okay? She just told me to cook dinner tonight, so I don’t think it’ll be long.”
“Then, can I go to Tsukkun’s house again today?”
Saying that, you—
“It’s not the kind of place where you should ask to come. If you want to come, you can come any time…Yuzuha and I are friends after all.”
“?!”
Well, to be more precise, it’s not so much the relationship between me and Yuzuha, but rather the relationship between my house and Yuzuha’s house.
Or rather, she had entered the house without permission yesterday. If she has to make an appointment, I’ll be careful about what happened yesterday.
“(N-now that I think about it, this is quite an advantage. ……? Even if a rival who aims at Tsukkun appears, I might be one step ahead of her ……?)”
However, it might be best to be careful about looking down and muttering to yourself.
I don’t know what you’re saying, but it’s dangerous if you don’t keep your head straight when walking.
“Hmm?”
Just when I was about to call out to her, if not to warn her, my phone suddenly rang.
I was curious and opened the screen of my phone first, and there was a notification from the person who must have played with the display without my permission: “Tsukasa-kun’s favorite sister ♡”
[Hey, Yuzuha-chan, do you think she’ll come over today?]
[I am going to finish my errands early, so if I can see her, I’d love to meet her!]
[Ah, I want stew for dinner tonight!]
……Today’s fridge only has ingredients for a chunky gingerbread dish.
[If you don’t meet your sister’s request, I’ll go beyond the boundaries between siblings and give you a kiss ♪]
…………………….
“Yuzuha.”
“Hyah! IIIIIIIIIIIIIII didn’t say anything, Tsukkun—“
“To save my lips, go shopping with me.”
“Wait, what’s going on?”
Apparently, my sister who is in distress is craving some stew.
In the meantime, to protect the family’s appetite and my lips, I pulled away from the bewildered Yuzuha’s hand and changed course to the shopping mall from the way back home.
