Bluffing Weakness Depressed
Before thehomeroom, Mariko came up to my seat
She was in a strangely goodI tried asking her if soood happned and heard that she had resolved one of her worries
It was a problem with her little sister's, Chitose-chan's boyfriend
Speaking of which, by chance Mariko had the same problem I did
No, saying it's a proble I was troubled over how should I behave towards my little sister who found a boyfriend
Mariko didn't resolve anything, but rather she was able to properly talk about it with her little sister, Chitose-chan
To speak of it from the conclusion her boyfriend was a celebrity And of course, it was Chitose-chan's unrequited love
When Mariko resolved herself and asked her to show a photo, it was revealed to be a roup
As for yesterday's shopping invitation, Mariko must have wanted to consult Chitose-chan's case with me
But, she easily resolved herself alone and told me not to worry about it
Right now, it felt like I could consult Tomomi's case with Mariko
Still, as I thought, siblings' probles, I should overcome it and proceed forward Also, I still haven't spoken with Mariko about my little sisters
About my friend's little sister's boyfriend that kind of roundabout lie wasn't too good
The boyfriend's photo huh
If I said I'd like to see the photo, Tomo I had, somehow
After school, resolvingroom 601's intercom
She ether with me just the two of us and put on the chain lock these kinds of concerns were unfounded
”Welcome back Nii-chan!”
”Y-yeah I'm back Tomomi”
”Come in come in”
Invited over by Tomomi, I intruded on her room
I passed by the living rooht over two PET bottles of cola froerator in the kitchen
”What would you like today Nii-chan?”
I received the bottle with cold cola, opened it and drank some
”Ohh! You must've been quite thirsty”
”Puhaa! This is tasty”
The words did not continue there Tomomi seemed somewhat restless
”Hey, Tomomi!”
”Nii-chan!”
Unable to bear the silence, the two of us with perfectly sa have cut in
”W-what is it? Go on, Tomomi”
”No no, go on Nii-chan”
”You don't have to refrain”
”No such thing”
Since ere pressing the initiative on each other, I lightly cleared my throat
”U ith your boyfriend?”
Momentarily, Tomomi's expression froze, her smile still on
”O-Oo-of course There ain't no need for Nii-chan to worry”
”I see So, when are you going to introduce him?”
”I-introduce?”
”Well, it htly aard for hihtly complex”
Torandly
”That's right, explaining that is a bit hard, I feel bad for Nii-chan but introducing him would be hard”
”Then how about you show me his picture?”
Her face grew pale
”P-pictures and such are NG”
”So you didn't take any pictures together?”
”Yup He's kinda shy”
”Is that so What kind of person is he?”
”Umm his stature is somewhat like Nii-chan's, his personality is rather serious but there are things off about it You could call hi He doesn't tell jokes by hihtly air-headed and quite radiant when I uess Also, he has kind parts about him”
Tomomi's expression have turned co about that person Tomomi's face turned like this But, frouy
”His naood even if we're siblings”
