“Good morning, everyone.”
The two of us were passing through the door of the classroom just after the homeroom was over.
Alice, who first showed her face and greeted, is immediately greeted by her classmates.
“Alice, good morning !”
“You’re late ! It’s rare.”
“Tojo san is late today, what happened?”
Everyone is watching Alice.
There were girls who beckoned, girls who stood up and tried to come closer, and boys who looked at Alice and looked dazed. My sister is as popular as ever.
“Good morning…..”
On the other hand, I sneaked into the classroom from behind Alice.
I try not to disturb my sister so as not to stand out as much as possible.
However, it may not have been necessary to consider anything else. There were almost no students who were paying attention to me.
Everyone only sees Alice, and they only want Alice. It’s a sight I’ve seen all along. For me, this is a part of everyday life, and it’s just a very ordinary thing.
Between me and my sister, there is an unavoidable high wall and an invisible gap.
(……Well, of course. Although we’re a brother and sister, we’re too different from various things)
Accept what is natural. I’ve known since I was little that that’s the easiest thing to do.
So there is no problem. I thought it was normal, but I was just a little hurt.
Even if the environment changes, there are things that do not change. I’ll get used to it sooner or later, but I have to be patient until then. That’s all.
“Good morning, Tojo kun.”
When I sat in my seat thinking about such a thing, there was one person who greeted me.
There is a girl named Shiramine Noa in the next seat. She is a kind person who speaks to me normally. She was also one of the few friends who I could talk to normally because she was from the same junior high school
“G-good morning. Shiramine san.”
“I guess you were late today. You came with Alice, are you perhaps overslept?”
“Ahaha, well, I’d like to say that, but it’s a bit wrong. I overslept, and Alice waited until I woke up, so she got involved.”
I answered Shiramine san’s question, raising my voice a little.
I could see Alice’s figure in my field of vision, and I realized that my sister was probably being asked the same question as me.
It was worth it, and as expected, their eyes focused on me at once.
“What, so it’s your brother’s fault.”
“Alice-chan, you’re just getting sidetracked. What are you doing?”
“get a grip, Tojo. Don’t bother your sister even though you’re an older brother.”
Of course, it was not as if it was a favorable gaze. Rather, it seems to contain hostility.
The only thing I can do is laugh .I have learned from my experience that if I take a bad attitude, their response will be worse.
“Ahaha. I’m sorry, I’ll be careful from now on.”
I apologize and wonder why I have to bow to them.
But this is something that can not be helped. Everyone wants to look good in front of the talented and popular Alice.
Alice is kind, so she shouldn’t be able to lecture her brother. So they’ll do it for you. On the other hand, they don’t like the fact that I act like an older brother and live with her, so this will calm them down and kill two birds with one stone…I guess that’s what they’re thinking.
It may be their intention of kindness, but I do not know whether it will be transmitted to the person herself. It’s fine. I also don’t want anyone to understand how I feel.
“Well, it can’t be helped, Alice chan and Tojo have no blood connection.”
So, even if you say something like that, my heart doesn’t really move.
Whether it’s connected or not, Alice is still my sister.
