What is your dream for the future?
I have been asked this question over and over again since I was a small child. I had answered, “I want to be a pilot”
I have loved airplanes since I was a child, and I can still remember my first flight with Smaragdos Airlines, where I felt the thrill of flying up into the sky, and even if it was raining heavily below the clouds, once I passed through the clouds, I could see a clear sky. I wanted to work for the world’s largest airline.
So when I played with my childhood friends Reo and Tsumugi, we always talked about airplanes, and my room was filled with such goods.
I will become a pilot in the future. I wasn’t good at studying, but it was something I fell in love with, so I made great progress.
I knew it was very difficult, but even Reo was practicing hard to achieve his dream of becoming a basketball player, and I was watching him, so I knew I couldn’t lose. I was working hard every day to achieve my dream.
In the spring of my second year of junior high school. I think it was a fateful encounter.
“Huh …… Konohana-senpai’s sister, isn’t it?”
“Wow,…….she’s a beautiful girl.”
It was simply because I was in the same class as Konohana Hina, the most beautiful girl in my grade. I’ve known rumors about her since the first grade, and since her older sister and one year older than her, Konohana Sakuya senpai, was so famous, inevitably she was rumored to be there as well.
Konohana Sakuya is the student council president. She is good-looking, academically talented, charismatic, and aware of her charisma. She is a perfect and talented woman in every way. She is the daughter of the Konohana Zaibatsu that everyone knows. There is no way she is not beautiful.
“……”
But unlike her older sister, Konohana Hina was quiet.
She looked adorable with the ribbon that accented her shiny, waist-length hair.
She’s a little taller than me at 160cm, and has a beautiful, slender figure.
And her assertive bosom caught my attention.
To be honest, I have never seen a girl with such a good appearance. My childhood friend Tsumugi was also pretty, so she could have been just as pretty if she had been brought up in the right way.
Well, I haven’t seen her for almost 10 years, so I don’t know what she’s doing now.
Rumor has it that she has no boyfriend. It seems that there are some of her classmates who try to hit on her, but they are completely shut out because of her older sister who loves her very much. There is no way he would get involved with such a cute girl. ……
“Kogure and Konohana will be the library board members.”
You didn’t have to use your great luck here. So Konohana Hina and I are going to be doing committee work together as library committee members. I was envied by my classmates, though……
“…..”
“Konohana-san.”
“……”
“I’ll put this book away!”
“……”
Anyway, she doesn’t talk! We started the committee activities in the library, but anyway, Hina Konohana was taciturn. But it’s good that she’s so picturesque without talking.
Konohana originally seemed to keep her distance from boys. She has that good looks.
I heard that a lot of things happened in her first year, so it’s probably best not to get too involved. Her sister, Konohana-senpai, seems really scary.
“Ryoma. So you were in a place like this?”
Reo calls out to me while I’m working in the library. My childhood friend, Hirasawa Reo.
He’s grown a lot taller and is handsome, and honestly, I think he’s become as popular as the Konohana sisters.
He’s the ace of the basketball team, after all. There are even rumors that he has a fan club.
He is not interested in love at all, though.
I wonder if he will find a girl he really likes someday. But he keeps coming to my room every night.
“You’re going to club activities, right?”
“Yeah But I have committee work to do, so I have to get there first.”
Reo looked at the book in my hand.
“That’s good. You said you wanted to read a book from the library, so I think you can make time.”
“It doesn’t seem like a very difficult job, and I’ll probably spend more time waiting and reading.”
“It looks like Ryouma’s love for planes is getting even stronger. He knows more about flying than anyone.”
“I’m interested in it. If I find an interesting book, I will introduce it to you.”
Reo went off to the club activities.
He’s really grown taller since entering middle school. He’ll probably be over 180cm next year, and I honestly think he’s the coolest guy in the world.
I used to like reading books, so I was quite happy to be a member of the library committee.
Lately I’ve been so busy with classes and club activities that I haven’t been able to go to the library very often, but it was nice to be able to do something I liked while being a part of the committee.
But.
“…..jiii.”
Konohana-san staring at me. Ha, I see!
“You may know him as Hirasawa Reo, a childhood friend of mine. Isn’t he really cool? He was at the basketball game the other day. He got past three defenders.”
“….I’m not interested in that.”
“Eh?”
I muttered those words. Of course, if you go to school, it’s not uncommon to hear her voice, but it was probably the first time I’d actually heard her voice. I was so shocked that I spoke again.
“Eh?”
“…..”
I felt Konohana Hina’s white cheeks turn red. After waiting for a moment, a small voice can be heard from Konohana Hina.
“Do you like airplanes?”
“…yeah. I dream of becoming a pilot in the future.”
“…..”
“Do you have any dreams, Konohana-san?”
I didn’t expect a response. However, I wanted to ask her something. I waited for a bit, and when I didn’t get an answer, I ran my eyes over the book of my hobbies in my hand.
“…. I want to be a novelist. I’ve been submitting my novels to the web…… this.”
I closed the book and turned my attention to her. Konohana Hina hurriedly removed her gaze.
“I’m sorry. Please forget about it.”
“I won’t forget it. I think it’s a wonderful hobby.”
Konohana Hina looked surprised and nodded her head in embarrassment.
“If you don’t mind, may I read it?”
“I’m not very good …… and it might not be very interesting.”
“I’m bored because I have to babysit my little sister. No?”
She was blushing with embarrassment, but finally nodded her head, as if she wanted readers. And that night.
While babysitting Hiyori, the reincarnation of an angel, I fiddled with my phone and came across a novel written by Konohana Hina, who is said to be posting on the web. Her pen name is Hina. It’s a common but good name. It seems unlikely that she is impersonating another person.
I quickly run my eyes over the novel. It is not a light novel, but more like a literary work. I was surprised that someone my age could write so well.
I would have risked my life just to write a book report. She doesn’t say much, but the characters in her novels are very talkative.
I wondered if many characters were making noise in that quiet girl’s head.
I read on with such thoughts in my mind.
“…..”
“Ryoma, how long are you going to stay up!? Put Hiyori to bed!”
“Oh, wow, it’s already that late!”
Mom, who had come home before I knew it, got angry with me and told me that it was almost time for the day to change.
Then it was time for the next book club meeting.
“Hurry up and continue.”
“What?”
“Let me read the rest of the story as soon as possible! The novel written by Konohana-san is too interesting!”
Konohana Hina’s novel was a story that stuck out to me.
I kept talking about her novels in the library.
You could say that I had already become a fan of Konohana Hina.
Since then, I think my conversations with Konohana-san have increased. I spent a lot more time talking about novels with Konohana, although it was only for a small amount of time in the library during committee activities, because it would be conspicuous if we talked in the classroom.
“What kind of books do you read, Kogure-kun?”
“Maybe magazines that introduce Smaragdos Airlines. I don’t have a lot of pocket money, so I help my sister babysit and earn money somehow. I also read a lot of airport-related stories.”
“I see. I’m thinking of a story with the sky as its motif.”
I hadn’t had any luck with girls since my childhood friend. It’s not like I wouldn’t enjoy talking to her.
Maybe it’s because we have similar personalities. Konohana isn’t very good at talking, but after I praised her novel to the max, it seemed to hit home.
The way she smiled happily at my words was so charming that it seemed to heat up her face on its own.
“I was very hesitant about telling Kogure about the novel, but I’m glad I told him ……. I was so lonely because no one read it.”
“Even though it’s so interesting.”
Just because something is interesting doesn’t necessarily mean it will be popular. If there was an element of buzz, it would be different, but Konohana’s novels are like literature.
“Do you think Konohana-senpai will ever read it?”
“My sister…..”
The famous sisters of the Konohana Zaibatsu. The fact that she is an older sister seems to indicate her family background.
“She is not really interested in literature……. She knows I write novels, but I don’t think she knows I write until she submits them.”
“That’s true. She certainly does have a pushy personality. And her club activities are sports-oriented. But you get along well with Konohana-senpai right?”
“Yes, I am proud of her. But I think she’s a little overprotective.”
Sometimes she comes to class to see how things are going. And they often seem to go home together. The sisters get along well, and depending on the neighborhood, they may or may not get excited about the yuri-like atmosphere. ……
They are beautiful and popular, so it seems to be a win-win situation for their classmates. I haven’t talked to her, though.
“Kogure-kun, I wanted to talk to you about the future of my novel.”
“Yeah. If it’s okay with me, I’ll listen.”
I had become a fan of her work, and to be honest, I was happy to be asked for help. Reo asked me for help every day, but being asked for help by a girl is a different kind of fun. It was at that time.
“Hina, it’s almost time for the committee meeting to end. Let’s go home.”
“Nee sama!”
The sister who we had been talking about came. Konohana Sakuya. She is one year older than me and is the student council president of this junior high school.
She is beautiful, talented, and perfect. It is said that she is the daughter of a famous family,
It is rare to find someone who has so many things. Her sharp eyes are impressive.
The younger sister, Hina, wears her hair long and flowing, while the older sister, Sakuya, wears her hair medium-short.
“Um, …… Nee sama. Can I stay a little longer? I wanted to talk to Kogure-kun.”
“What do you mean?”
Konohana-senpai’s face, which had been gentle, turns stern.
“Nothing good will come of being with a boy”
“That’s not true!”
“If it hadn’t happened, then what happened two years ago wouldn’t have happened.”
Konohana-senpai spoke in a forceful tone. The year before last. She’s in her second year of middle school now, so this must have been when she was in sixth grade.
“Hina, your body is growing too fast. That’s why you’ve been stalked by boys and suffered all sorts of trouble. Have you forgotten that this was why you didn’t go to school for six months in sixth grade?”
“That’s …….”
Did that happen? It is true that Konohana-san is probably about one hundred and sixty five centimeters tall. a little bit taller than me who is in the middle of a growth spurt. She is also taller than most girls and has …… breasts. I’ll stop with this one.
“You’re in middle school and you’re probably safe through the first and second grades because I protected you. If you shut out all the guys that come near you, you won’t get hurt anymore. You are too weak-minded. Rely on your sister.”
“……”
“You are the daughter of the Konohana family. You don’t need to associate with guys who go to this level of school. If you want to interact with men, I will help you find one, you can live on your own. I will take care of the Konohana family, so you can live a healthy life.”
Very strong words that leave no room for argument. Senpai loves her sister, but I think her words are ignoring her wishes.
“Let’s go home. You can talk anytime.”
“……It is true that my heart is weak. It is also true that I cannot do anything alone. But Kogure-kun said my novel was interesting!”
“…… Kogure. I wonder if your name is Kogure Ryoma-kun.”
“Y-yes.”
She glares at me and I feel intimidated. Does she seem wary of me?
“Both he and Hina say they prefer this ordinary guy to me. I can’t forgive that…”
I felt that those words were filled with hatred towards me. It seemed like I couldn’t afford any more trouble.
“I’m fine, Konohana-san. Let’s talk again at a better time.”
“I’m sorry, Kogure-kun.”
Konohana-san bowed her head and left as if being pulled by her senpai. Looking back, this may have been the beginning of the fateful relationship with the Konohana sisters.
