Vol 1 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Now then
Even though it ht be a bit late, but letto attend the sah school as my sister
St Liliana Academy
I wasn’t too fa time, but here – in Tokyo – it apparently was a somewhat famous school
A christian school, just as its nahters froathered at this place, that in itself wasn’t very unusual though The interesting thing was that unlike ious schools, there weren’t any spoiled, rich kids you’d usually see
First off, there was no so-called ‘Escalator System[1]’ in this academy
Even though it was an institution that incorporated students froraduate school, there was no serade once they had entered the acadeid test The test for those who already were enrolled was even worse compared to the one for the students who transferred in, or so I had heard
Speaking of those ere forced to drop out for ‘lacking ability’, they were in great numbers every year Since the academy had the tradition to not care about what kind of connections or how h using that kind of underhanded trick
But for exactly that reason all the students were thoroughly trained
Those who caious school would be weeded out quickly and only those with true talent would survive Furtherh children from families with lots of political power or money
In short, St Liliana Academy was a super elite school with a syste ability to then thoroughly polish the surviving talented ones
And soon I’d be attending that super elite school
“Please don’t make such a stiff face, Onii-chan”
My sister stopped in front of St Liliana Acadeate and smiled
“It’s neither a prison nor a juvenile detention center It’s sio to”
“Even if you say that…”
I gru you’d see in front of a castle
“Well, when I was in Kyoto, the school I went to was notable too, but it can’t compare to this school’s level”
“Please get a hold of yourself School’s going to begin in a week and you’re already say those things, ill you do by then?”
“I’m not as capable as Akiko”
“But Onii-chan, you were able to pass this academy’s adht?”
Certainly, that was the case
Just like I said earlier, in this academy it didn’t matter if you had connections or money One’s pure ability was the only key that could open its doors
Well, even though ed to pass the entrance test – Well, it had been a test for those who excelled in a certain skill though For now, I’ll just leave it at that
The i this academy would be quite a burden on me
If I may speak my mind, it was due to my laziness
I had put in a great aether with my sister
If it had been possible, I’d have liked to live the rest of my life without all that trouble
“Ugh I don’t like this I guess there’s no choice but to study lots, huh?”
“If it’s Onii-chan, there shouldn’t be any problems that could trouble you If you can’t do it for so your teacher”
“So I’ll be an older brother who’s relying on his younger sister to teach hier sister, but we’re twins We’re the sa”
“Oh, co a tantrum Certainly, I was the one who asked Onii-chan to attend the saree to it? It’s not very manly to be so hesitant at times like these, is it?”
That certainly was the truth
I couldn’t argue with that
In the first place, the reason I had purposely coet familiar with the place I had asked my sister, who had been busy ork, to co to bail’s too much, huh?
“It’ll be alright, Onii-chan Don’t be scared”
My sister passed through the gate with one step while she beckoned me over
…damn
She’s treating me like a child
I had handled our ht that I had at least been able to hold up my honor as an older brother
Like that it seeht
Oh my, it’s a bit of a problem to have such a capable little sister
My sister had accepted irl’, and cherished them as if they were the words of God since the tirown up to be a splendid young lady and an honor student
Even though neither rades are that impressive, I’d still like to not be that much behind my sister
At least not to a degree where I’d drag her down
“It’ll be fine, Onii-chan Everyone had to enroll into this acadeh the ru this place could cause sos”
“Ah No, I’s like that”
“But there are some rare cases Their existence itself could be described as dangerous, one wouldn’t want to get close to thes”
“…I wasn’t really worried in the beginning, but after hearing that kind of thing nohich I haven’t even thought about, I do get kind of anxious”
What’s that all about?
In this academy are people who even someone like my sister tries to avoid as much as possible? And they’re supposed to be human?
“It’s okay You won’t be snatched away and eaten Well, it happens occasionally, though”
“…So you’re trying to say that every now and then so it sound as if that has actually happened before”
“It’s alright I’ve already decided in my heart that I’m the only one to snatch Onii-chan away and eat hi happens, I’ll ive anyone who tries to steal my Onii-chan from me”
“That’s really co to hear – that’s what I’d like to say, but unfortunately I’ a very different kind of anxiety now”
“You keep saying this and that Onii-chan, the point is that you just don’t want to go into this acadeht?”
“Yup”
“Jeez You’re really a troubling person, aren’t you?”
My sister said and started giggling
“However, it’s so new that Onii-chan throws a tantrum in that way, isn’t it? It’s very cute and I love it”
“——?! H-How hu…! Not once in my entire life have you insultedtreated here as someone useless…”
I was exaggerating a bit with that
In any case, I finally rounds
But it was nothing out of the ordinary, it was just an institutional academy after all
Neither would one get shot at out of the blue, nor would they be told, ‘Abandon all hope, ye who enter here![2]’, by some majestic voice
However, this was a prestigious school overfloith donations There were ‘Taisho Romance’[3]-like facilities which seemed to cost an absurd an seeaudy or po their wealth, it was a place that lived up to its reputation
“Now then, I’ll show you all the acade, so I’ll liht now”
“Mh on you then”
During spring break when there was little bustle, I inspected the acadeuided by my little sister
A gymnasium with all the latest equipment
Amartial arts stadium
An auditorium that looked like an arena
A cafeteria with a kitchen that looked as if it was from a famous hotel
…Oh boy
This made the school I had attended in Kyoto look like a joke I itnessing the grandioseness of this academy
In addition to their over a hundred years old tradition, there was still a great nunated to be cultural assets They adopted ave off a ‘we can do anything’ kind of atmosphere
How to put it?
To be honest, it was really uncomfortable for someone from the lower middle class
“For now that’s a rough tour of the facilities What do you think of it?”
“Mhm To tell the truth, it makes me nervous”
“It’ll be okay You’ll get used to it soon enough”
“Is that so?”
“One year ago I’ve felt the saht now At the tireatly surprised by what I’ve seen There was a strange and peculiar atht? It’s a bit rude to say it, but… it felt like there was an inti oppressive here”
“Hmm So you felt this way too, huh?”
“Yes But I got used to it soon enough That’s why everything will be fine Onii-chan will surely get used to it soon, too”
…My sister said to me
I had heard that there were plenty of students who ended up dropping out because they hadn’t gotten used to this academy’s uniqueness And on top of that, I had heard a ruot kicked out due to failing the grade proher
Oh dear
Can I really do that? Keeping up with this entire school?
The work I have to do to keep up with this school – it’s a bunch ined Ah, shi+t I really did make a mistake here, huh?
Well
I’m still Himenokouji Akiko’s older brother No ive up without trying After I’ve forcedthatthat’d dae my sister’s reputation
“With that, Onii-chan…”
“Hmm?”
“Regarding an extended tour around here—”
My sister said and apologetically continued with:
“Sorry, but it’s about time that I headed off to the student council”
“Ah, I see It’s already that time, huh?”
Well, I knew fro that this would happen
I unreasonably asked her to showmy sister’s work first, which I knew of beforehand
“It’s fine, go on ahead You don’t have to worry about me I’ll take my time and walk around by myself later”
“Will you be okay? Will you be okay by yourself?”
“Hey, hey I’m still you’re elder brother, aren’t I? I’m not a kid, I’ll be able to handle that much by myself”
“If not, I wouldn’tfor me outside the academy Or wouldn’t it be better if you just returned home for now?”
“I deliberately took the tiht as well take my time to look around now It’ll ht?”
“But, Onii-chan, didn’t you just feel uneasy about entering this academy on your own?”
“Du Just like you’ve said, I’ve already gotten used to it There are no more problems now”
“Ah Well, if that’s the case then it’s fine, but…”
“Okay, hurry up and get going If you’re taking this long, it’d cause things like, ‘You’re slowing your sister down’ and that’d really trouble me, okay?”
My sister still displayed a bit of hesitation But she showed an expression of acceptance before long and said:
“I understand Well then, I’ll be heading off I’ll try to finish as fast as possible and then meet up with you later Will the cafeteria be okay? If it’s fine with you, then you could also have some tea while you wait”
“Mhht, let’s do that then”
“And one ”
My sister said and suddenly put on a serious expression She then continued:
“I’ll give Onii-chan a piece of advice, please follow it at all costs”
“Advice?”
“Yes You et close to the student council roo that I’d like you to do Okay?”
“…Is it because the student council president’d be there?”
“That’s true However, there’s another reason as well In any case, please don’t come near it”
“But why? You’re also a ht?”
“Anyway, things that are no good are no good, okay? If you want to see it no matter what, then I’ll find a chance later So please obey for today at least, understood?”
Hmm
She doesn’t hesitate to declare to the world that she’s a bro-con, plus she thinks that peeping at so that She doesn’t want hold
Well, the student council’s Nikaido Arashi+ – that dangerous predator would be there too It’s not like I don’t understand why my sister wants me to stay as far away from that place as possible…
“…Okay, I’ll follow your advice For today I won’t come close to the student council, I promise”
“Thank you verythat makes me feel relieved”
“What are you saying? So”
“While I’oodbye kiss, it’d make me feel even less anxious”
“This conversating has just made quite the leap”
“Or if you said, ‘You’re the cutest woman in the world I love you’, that’d let me be even less anxious”
“You don’t have any plans on fixing up this conversation, do you?”
“…You’re not going to say it?”
“I’ll have to decline”
“If you don’t hurry and say it, I’ll be late for the student council, you know?!”
“Oh Here coh you’re at fault”
“Or is it that… Onii-chan, you don’t think I’m cute at all?!”
“Eh? No way You’re cute You’re so cute”
“Hey, there’s no feeling in that at all! Onii-chan, you ht! I’ll appear out of the darkness and steal away your lips!”
Leaving me with that threat, my sister hurriedly ran off
It’s probably that she really does run late for the student council because she asting time with this silly chit-chat
She’s easy to get along despite being my little sister
…However, I’ve so to confess
Looking around the school all by
Well
In this academy there really was a peculiar atmosphere
It gave off so sense
Plus, having a football match in a rival’s stadium can’t even compare to this kind of level here If I had to elaborate, it was likeup at a funeral thinking it was a party, so like that
The academy was by no means an exclusive one But it felt like to enter it, one had to be above a certain level
It pissed soin with
…Ah, whatever
One way or another, it was too late to get rid of the whole et used to this atrades or not was somewhat problematic
“Now then Which place to check out?”
Without having anything particular into breath in this academy’s atmosphere as much as possible
It was in thebreak And there weren’t many people, as expected However, the premises were in no way devoid of people I saw all kinds of studentsefforts in different clubs here and there
It wasn’t an elite school just for show The students were also expected to have excellent results in sports, not just in academics There weren’t led textbooks all day
Accomplished in both, literary and military arts
Saying that is easy, and yet the thought of actually doing it was ly nervous
“Oh?”
While I had been thinking stuff like that, I had walked onto the sports field
Huge You could have baseball and football games at the same time here
To think so just sits inside the Ya about it makes me feel absurdly nervous That added even s which are more helpful with my mentality
For now, let’s do that The girl’s track and field club was practicing nearby
I think I’ll check that out for now—
“So you’re staring at girls in broad daylight, how very gentlemanly”
“Eh?”
“But that’s unfortunate for you The track and field clubcompetitions Or are you the kind of man who thinks that unfashi+onable tracksuits have more sex appeal anyway?”
I turned around to see fro from
“Ah! It’s you!”
It was the girl I had experienced those various things at the large shopping o
The beauty with blond hair and blue eyes whose personality I didn’t really get
And today she earing this academy’s uniform
“By the way, the board of directors has issued a strict order that everything besides navy blue blooirls of this academy Good for you, your perverted hobby fits perfectly”
“Neither did I want to hear about this acadeirl’s athletic uniforh it’s a bit late, I’irls, nor do I think tracksuits have sex appeal”
“Ah, I see That’s unfortunate If you desired it, I planned to exclusively show myself off to you in a tracksuit”
“…”
It so hard to talk to her
“You really helped me out the other day”
“Eh? Ah It’s alright, don’t worry about it”
“Yes, exactly that I was just saying that out of courtesy, there’s no need to reply so seriously”
“…”
Ah, if I had to pinpoint it, it’d probably be like this:
Could this girl be at the peak of her rebellious age…?
“I’ you do makes me want to flare up”
“Well, that’s troubling…”
“And to be honest, I think my personality makes it very difficult for you to communicate with me”
“If you know it then why don’t you do so about it?”
“However, there’s so that I want you to understand I was very nervous that day”
“Nervous?”
The everlasting pokerface just said that?
“it’s difficult to understand if you’re not I, you see I was so nervous that day that I couldn’t re I had told you”
“Oh? I don’t knohat I should rather be, surprised or shocked”
Well
If I think about it a bit, that shopping mall was probably a place she wasn’t too familiar with Truth is, she only wandered around recklessly, like someone who didn’t even knohat to do One can’t really tell from her appearance, but she probably wasn’t her usual self So around this acade in an away match
But I e nonetheless, huh? She was saying stuff to someone she had just met that no one normal would, she didn’t even bother to hold back I see, if she just said those things out of nervousness, then I can understand
“I understand Don’t take it to heart, but I was really thrown off by you that day If you were nervous like you said, then it can’t be helped, I guess And today I’ll try to get a new impression of you”
“Saying that really helps Since that day I’ve felt like I had left a bad impression on you and been anxious because of that I don’t knohat you think, but – the true me is someone bashful and shy There have been incidents in the past where I’ve said things without thinking because of my nervousness”
“Ah, I see Well, I can kind of understand it That’s just human”
“So thehas been cleared then?”
“Yup Everything’s clear, no problem”
“I see That’s good Well then, once again, please take care of me from now on”
“Mhm Same here”
“By the way, there’s so I’d like to know”
“Eh? What is it?”
“Are you a virgin?”
I had made a fool out of myself
“—Didn’t we already get this topic over with?! Just how forgetful can you be to forget so that ridiculous?!”
Iup a topic like that!
“Sorry That ti about it”
“Really, please gimme a break… I’ve suffered quite the trauma from what has happened then If at all possible, I’d like to not let it happen again—”
“So are you a virgin after all? Or are you not?”
“How can you say soht after what I’ve said?!”
“By the way I’m a maiden”
“We already been there last time!”
“But now you know so personal about me, don’t you? Since that’s the case, shouldn’t you return the favor?”
“And your forceful way’s still fresh in my mind too!”
“…”
With that, she started to conte for a short while
She had her usual flat expression and was staring off to soaze to me
“Sorry What was I just talking about?”
“…Do you possibly have youth alzheimers?”
“By the way, virgin-kun What are you doing here?”
“Stop derailing the conversation with such nonsense!”
Could it be that this girl’s really funny in the head?
She’s treating in I didn’t answer her question and she shouldn’t be able to remember it from last time
Oh well
It’s a pain in the ass to correct her And it’s the truth anyway
“…U in spring So I cah, well, it’s really justa look around, you know?”
“I see And so you decided to watch the girl’s track and field club then, huh? You were concentrating intensely on the, lustrous bodies into your mind”
“I’et familiar with this school, so did I hope to achieve that by pinpointing the girl’s track and field club in order to check theht I could breathe in a lot of this acade more I wondered what the acaderaduation? Just so that I could prepare myself for the atmosphere, okay?”
“I see So you want to suck in the breath of the track and field club girls I admire your tenacity”
“…Could it be that you just want to look down on me, no matter what?”
“Sorry Whenever I see you, I can’t help but picking a fight”
Which re like that before
Strange
I wonder if I emit some kind of aura that makes people want to bully me
Well, e, so are h to ht with me
“Please don’t worry I’le one of your perverted tendencies I think I’ll just pretend I didn’t see your behavior”
“…Soative light already”
“If you insist on being innocent, then I would like you to proof it with some evidence”
“I’d rather like you to present souilty, then I want you to proof me so”
“Oh well, if you want ement then——”
She carried on while ignoring me
“If you can desireayour sexual tendencies as normal”
“…So that totally obscene logic again, huh?”
“Si about whether you can use me to masturbate or not”
“STOOOOOOOOP!”
As expected, I had to put an end to it
“I’ that kind of word!”
“Si about whether you can use me to do yourself or not”
“Changing it into a softer expression doesn’t change anything!”
“I think that violates the freedo yourself’ are both splendid phrases for describing the act of pleasuring oneself And they aren’t words that need to be censored on television either I think you don’t need to judge me so much with that terrible expression of yours”
“Anyway, it’s no good! I forbid it! I won’t forgive it either! Absolutely not!”
“You’re unexpectedly stubborn”
She said without a change in expression and continued:
“Well, it’s fine I don’t really want to see you pleasure yourself in front of e that your taste is normal”
“Well, thanks… Actually, I noticed so now You don’t really deserve thanks, do you?”
And on top of that, she was only acknowledging it for now
“That’s not true I’ve said obscene words like ‘masturbation’ and ‘do yourself’ in front of you If anyone else had heard that, they’d probably wet themselves fro It’s alright to thanklike that”
“Sorry, they didn’t get h”
Wait, doesn’t it look like I’ve approved of those indecent words like that?
“By the way, that was the first time I’ve ever said either of those”
“Ehhh?!”
“My face was burning up froh, you probably couldn’t see it”
“That so… I thought you’d surely use those words daily”
“How rude I ht look like this, but I’m still someone of a certain status Don’t take htless”
“…Going by that, is it okay for you to do soer like me?”
“It can’t be helped”
She said and sighed
“No matter what you do or how, I just can’t stop ht with you”
“Well that’s… how to say… problematic”
Very problematic for me as well as for her
“If that’s the case, then it’s probably that you and me have bad compatibility Don’t you think it’d be better to avoid each other? For both of us”
“I mustn’t do that You’re soirl’s track and field club while you actually scheenius— If I leave you alone and so happens, I’d also be to blame partly”
“Like I said, you misunderstood that”
“So, if you want to continue looking around, then I’ll accompany you”
“Eh? You will?”
I was confused by the sudden proposal
“You mean you’ll show me around?”
“Generally speaking, yes”
“But is that really okay? You came here on a holiday, don’t you have work to do?”
“I wouldn’t say that I’ve got nothing to do However, given the circumstances, I believe this has to be my priority”
“Hm”
I feel bad if I cut into her ti work outme around, it’d probably help to ease the severity of this ‘away ga I feel like I’d rather have to bowher of that
“Well, that’d really help me out Sorry, but can I take you up on that?”
“You don’t need to thanka duty every student of this academy has With that——”
She said and her pokerface showed a bit of !)
“I’s”
“Reflecting?”
