I said goodbye to Saki as I couldn’t stop sweating.
“……..See you at home, Saki. Good luck with your practice.”
“Ah, you’re leaving already? Since you came all the way, why don’t you take a look?”
[Even though I was able to meet you, I don’t want Onii chan to disappear !]
Saki’s inner voice is completely pampered, a complete change from when she was confronting Misaka san. ……How much better it would have been if I could have cut out just this part and thought that this was all that was left of Saki.
“But…… It’s too awkward to have one guy in a place where three girls are gathered.”
“Eh? Do you care about that? I mean if it was a complete stranger, but you know the two of them, right?”
“That’s true, but……”
The two girls who were practicing dance with Saki are friends of hers and have visited our house a few times. That doesn’t mean they interacted closely with me, but once they had a game tournament in my room and we talked a bit.
Although I’m not a friend, I guess I’m recognized in the safe position as a friend’s brother.
In fact, the numbers above their heads are also very safe.
Mizuhara Chika [32].
Kusunoki Nanane [35].
I don’t mind if they are low. To them, I’m nothing more than a mob character.
“We don’t mind if you watch us, okay?”
“The dance is meant to be seen, and it’s more exciting when there’s an audience. Well, I don’t want you to see me when I’m just starting to practice, but now that I’m getting into some shape, I don’t mind.”
“As she said, Onii chan. Let’s take a look. I guess you were excited to see a younger high school girl in dance clothes, right?”
“Saki, even if it were true, the act of kindness is never to say it out loud. Don’t just criticize me, you should try to be a little more worried about man’s heart….”
“Well, let’s get started ! If you’re too lazy, you’ll get left behind by the rest of the group, and the seniors will get annoyed with you!!”
“……You could listen to me once in a while, little sister,…….”
[Ahaha. Onii chan who’s being teased is cute. This is why I can’t stop bullying him. But don’t get me wrong, okay? Because I love you, Onii chan. I don’t do this to anyone other than you, okay? The point is, I’m being a little spoiled !]
While Saki’s inner voice was heard, the three giggling girls got into position for the dance.
Then, Saki operates her smartphone, and music begins to flow from the wirelessly connected speakers. It’s a cheerful, groovy song that seems to be popular among the girls these days.
The three girls’ expressions and attitudes change and they begin to dance lightly.
I don’t know much about the merits and demerits of dancing, but watching them dance earnestly, yet smilingly, was a joy in itself.
It is my secret that I was secretly excited by the sweat dripping from their eyes.
The song lasted about four minutes, but I had a very good time. It’s not every day that I find myself in a situation where three girls are willing to dance just for me. I’m really glad I’m Saki’s brother.
“How was it?”
Saki asked me. Mizuhara san and Kusunoki san also seemed to be interested in my impression.
…I’m glad I was able to enjoy the dance, but this situation might be a problem.
“Erm….it was good.”
“Eh? That’s all? What was good about it?”
Grin. Saki knows that I’m not good at expressing my thoughts at times like this, but she dares to ask.
“Where….um, you were sharp and expressive……”
“I don’t know about that. It’s starting to take shape, but honestly I think I still have a long way off. What part of the sharpness and expressiveness did you feel? In the first place, Onii chan, do you know what sharpness and expressiveness mean?”
“Oh, yeah? Let’s see……I guess, sharpness means agility of movement? Expressiveness is the ability to express…..emotions with the body…..I guess.”
“Hmhm. Well, that’s fine. So, which part was impressive?”
“….U-um…….I was impressed with the way you expressed your energy and cheerfulness in the chorus part of the song,…….”
I try to somehow express the emotion that is within my heart through gestures and gestures.
In fact, I’m moved. I just don’t have the skills to put it into words.
“Onii chan, if you don’t learn to praise me better, you won’t be popular, right? Being called cute only makes you happy for the first second.”
“…I will work hard.”
“Do your best. Even Onii chan is a kind of expressionist. Manga and illustrations are not foreign things that have nothing to do with dance, right?”
“……I guess that’s true.”
“Well then, we’ll continue practicing, so please do your best in your club activities, Onii chan.”
“Please do your best.”
“I like your manga and illustrations too, Onii san–“
Following Saki, her two friends also supported me. Although I seem a little perfunctory, there’s no reason I wouldn’t be energized by the support of the girls. …Of course, I don’t mean it in a lewd way. I think it’s sexy to have a t-shirt stuck to your skin with sweat, but that doesn’t matter right now.
As I walk away, I can faintly hear Saki’s inner voice.
[Onii chan, objectively speaking, there are parts of you that I’m not ready yet. I think it’s cute that you’re not used to doing that.
And……in the end, you just have your strengths and weaknesses. You might not be good at complimenting a girl or giving feedback on a dance, but you’re dependable in everything else.
I know that Onii chan has been working hard for me ever since I was little.
He used to give me sweets that I liked, drew many of my favorite characters, protected me from bullies, and defended me when I was followed by a strange uncle. He still teaches me how to study carefully and gives me the highest priority when I have a problem…….
I know it’s not easy to do all the things you do for me, right? I’m old enough to understand that it is not natural for you to put my needs before your own, right?
I just want to tease you and drag you into my pace, but I still want you to spoil me. I’m just too happy to spend time being pampered.
Onii chan…….I love you. I don’t even notice other boys anymore.]
I scratch my head while letting out a sigh.
I’m also really happy about Saki’s kindness. I once thought that she was always just being nice to me and didn’t even know about my hardships. However, I think it’s cute if you know a lot and still choose to be pampered.
If she is happy when she is being spoiled, it is not a bad thing to respond to that.
If it weren’t for the ties of being a sister, I can’t help but think that I would want to stay by Saki’s side for the rest of my life.
I still have some resistance to being seen as a man, but I love and care about Saki too. We have had many fights, but the bond we have developed is stronger than with anyone else.
It’s not like I’m in love with Saki. I don’t know if I will ever develop such feelings in the future.
But I have a feeling that Saki will be more important to me than any other lover.
If that happens… who should I choose, my lover or Saki?
“Hmmm,…..I don’t know.”
I’ve never been in a relationship before, so I can’t really imagine what it would be like to actually have a girlfriend. The outlines are too vague to be of much help.
I groaned and headed to the club room with my head in my hands. In there.
[Oh? Fujisaki kun is looking somewhat troubled and downcast. Is something wrong?]
I looked up and saw Misaki sensei walking toward me from the other side of the hallway.
