Vol 4 Chapter 6 (1/2)
Now then, today was a school holiday
On this beautiful day, I had invited a certain someone to our dorm so I could keep my promise with Akiko
“Waa This brings back memories, doesn’t it~”
A wolittering eyes at the two story building Her name was Jinno Kaoruko-san
She had a child-like face that didn’t e, a war eyes This was my editor
“I thought it would be more worn out, but actually, it looks perfectly fine It should hold up as a student dorm for quite a while”
“No no, quite a few parts are showing their age, aren’t they? Well, I’ll have a contractor cos here and there soon, so it’ll be much better”
“Buildings immediately break down after people leave, don’t they~? Ah, by the way, Akito-kun, doesn’t your co well?”
“H of the sort”
“Really~? Then that’s good As a professional author, it’s part of your job to e your health Please be properly aware of that… Ah, who’s that over there?”
“Yes, that’s my little sister… Hey, Akiko, come over here”
My little sister ca in the doorway
“…I’m Himenokouji Akiko Pleased to meet you”
“Jinno Kaoruko Likewise, pleased to meet you”
They introduced themselves to each other
Unlike Jinno-san, who had introduced herself with a warm smile, Akiko was cautious, an obstinate expression bare on her face They clasped each other’s hands; it see to jump at each other’s throats
Now let ot to this point
Jinno-san had called our hoo, and Akiko was the one who answered
At the moment it seemed Jinno-san asked if Akiko and I had some sort of inappropriate relationshi+p
Akiko took offense to this, and demanded an explanation from me
Later, Jinno-san introduced herself She had me promise to prove my innocence
Part of it was to let her come by for a visit today
“Well, I’m really sorry Jinno-san It’s must be your precious day off, after all”
“No no, it’s fine This is perfect tio?’ earlier, and if this opportunity hadn’t shown up I probably wouldn’t have had anything to do”
“Ah, thank you Being able to hear that putsyou said earlier”
“Yes?”
“When you were talking earlier, Jinno-san, it sounded to me as if you had soination?”
“No, it’s not your iination~”
Jinno-san nodded, s calmly as always
“I mean, I’m an alumna of St Liliana Academy”
“Eh? Is that so? This is the first time I’ve ever heard of it”
“Really? Now that I think about it, I suppose I never mentioned it”
“Jeez, please tell me stuff like that After all, if you had ould’ve been able to talk about all kinds of things”
“By the way, I lived in this dorm for three years”
“Seriously?!”
If that was the case, then wouldn’t it have been better to tell me earlier?
Maybe she kept it secret so she could surprise me later, I wonder? No, I don’t feel like it’s that at all Maybe she just forgot to mention it… No, I feel it’s not quite that either
Yep As always, I can’t understand her tempo
“I was your partner for your previous work, and on top of that I’m your senpai fro to enjoy relentlessly training you fro with you”
“Ah, thanks I look forward to working with you as well”
As Jinno-san bowed her head down to me, I also lowered entle right after tellingto train me relentlessly
“Muu…”
That’s how my little sister reacted when she saw Jinno-san
“He’s indebted to her at work, and she’s a senpai from both our school and this dormitory Furtherether, this person is dangerous no matter how you look at it She even see…”
She sees
“Um, Akiko-san”
Jinno-san stepped forward
“I’ve wanted totime now, and I’ve finally been able to fulfill this heartfelt desire of mine today I’m very happy”
“Ah, okay Thanks”
“And you know? Afterthat I wanted to talk to you about no matter what”
“What could that be?”
She asked
Jinno-san took a deep breath and screamed:
“I truly think Akito-kun is a horrible person~!”
She shouted with all her ht (her voice was only about 20 percent louder than norh), and then abused me with all she had
“Akito-kun is truly, truly horrible Even if I ask him, ‘Please finish your work by today,’ he never finishes it at all And even though he says things like, ‘Don’t worry, I’ll have it finished by that day without fail!’ while bri with confidence, when the day comes, he won’t be finished after all And then, when I check how he’s doing, he’ll only have done another page — no, not even that, he won’t have progressed even one bit since the previous time~!”
“O-Oh…”
“First of all, Akito-kun is still a complete newcomer — no, not even that, his career has just barely started — he still has to gain his customer’s trust, so this is a very, very ih I’ve told hiain, he doesn’t listen to what I say If only Akito-kun was brought up to be et scolded by the company president every time What do you think about this?! Akiko-san~!”
“Ah, yes U”
Even though Jinno Kaoruko-san was angry, her words weren’t scary at all True to her reputation, even though Jinno-san was panting with rage, it wasn’tat all But still, you could tell she was troubled from the bottom of her heart Akiko seemed a little perplexed as she watched
By the way, I wanted to keep ht novel author for now) a secret froht carelessly let soh she’s only let about half of it slip so far)
Did she really have to let it all out now? I think unskillfully trying to stop an agitated woh…
“With that said, Akiko-san!”
“Y-Yes?”
“Please make your brother more reliable! If you don’t, my company will take my head~!”
“O-Okay I’ll do my best”
“I beg of you! Turn Akito-kun into a serious, full fledgedis fine!”
“Anything?”
Sparkle
My sister’s eyes lit up dangerously
“Onii-chan has caused Jinno-san trouble, so to rehabilitate hi — is that what you’re saying?”
“Yes!”
“So you don’t care what it takes?”
“Exactly that!”
Oi oi, are you okay, Jinno-san? You’re kind of forcefully handing oes’if you speak rashly and she takes you up on your offer Although… it seems she’s at her wit’s end; she can’t see the consequences of her actions
“I understand, leave it to me”
See, I told you so Just like I said, no? Akiko is dangerously excited now
“Since Onii-chan’s superior begged me, there’s no other choice I, Himenokouji Akiko, humbly accept this mission”
“Wow, thank you! If Akiko-san lends th will be tremendous~!”
“Please rest easy and leave it all toOnii-chan already”
“Really?! What would that be?!”
“Yes Namely, ‘Operation Kind-Onii-chan-who-is-all-over-his-little-sister-and-does-everything-she-says’ ”
“…E-Excuse me?”
“The objective is simple: if Onii-chan falls in love with me even more, then he’ll do whatever I tell him — that’s all As they say, ‘shi+s are, the better the results”
“…? ……?”
“Fros to oode all sorts of affectionate expressions; I will thoroughly, without fail, enforce face-to-face skinshi+p: hugging, sleeping together, holding hands, caressing heads — by giving him all of these rewards, Onii-chan will surely cherish me even more Onii-chan and I will spend ether day and night, I can easily see if Onii-chan is inconveniencing Jinno-san, right? This is, beyond any conceivable doubt, the enius scares me…”
“Ah… Ehm…”
Akiko’s sudden outburst coh, after that kind of first impression, it was probably only natural to react like that
“So, will you leave the ‘Onii-chan Re Plan’ to me, Jinno-san?”
“…Ehm, could I ask an aard question?”
“Yes What is it?”
“Could it be that Akiko-san is a hopeless bro-con?”
“Yes, absolutely!”
My little sister puffed up with pride and immediately replied
“A brother coift from the Gods! Fro Onii-chan, and I’ll continue loving only Onii-chan forever more!”
“Ehm, in other words, you see Akito-kun as a man, or…?”
“Of course!”
“……Auu~”
Jinno-san seemed embarrassed at Akiko, who didn’t look ashamed at all
Yep About now should be the right time
“Co Jinno-san? This is already enough”
“Ah Yes, I’ot too passionate and was rude to our guest, ent to great lengths to visit us”
“Yep, please be more careful from now on So, do you understand now?”
“Excuse me? Understand what?”
“That Jinno-san and I don’t have a weird relationshi+p Wasn’t that why I asked Jinno-san to come over in the first place?”
“Ah, that’s certainly true! You showed ood person!”
“I see Then I’lad ”
See, but… well, it’s fine
But rather than uest
“Eeeh out here for a while Please come on in for now Akiko has prepared tea and sweets”
“…The brother’s a sis-con, and the sister’s a bro-con… That’s not good… That’s not good at all… If I don’t do so…”
“Jinno-san?”
“AH, YES—?! What is it?!”
“It’s a little strange to be chatting out here Please come in We’d be happy to hear about your s”
“Ah, yes That’s right, isn’t it? Then please excuseon your kindness”
Jinno-san said She flashed a smile, but her expression seemed stiff overall
Her impression of me has suddenly hit rock bottom… Well, I’ll make sure to fix that shortly
And, as I expected, Jinno-san gradually lightened up
“Wooow! It didn’t change at all~!”
Jinno-san got ecstatic the moment she set foot into the dorm
“Wow, this one’s still here~”
“Ah, but that one seems to be broken! How sad~”
“Ah, here, here! This crack! I crashed into that one, you know~ I got scolded harshly back then…”
In that kind of affectionate mood, she told us about her days as a student The spontaneity of her es and that she didn’t let herself be affected for too long were Jinno-san’s strong points
Well, even if it wasn’t her, this was a situation where tensions were rising Legally speaking, this building was on the brink of being demolished From Jinno-san’s point of view, it iven up on looking for it, only for it to suddenly turn up out of nowhere
With that feeling in /conference room after a quick look around the dorm Everyone was present since they had been informed beforehand
“Mah, well met As da student council president ‘n a resident of this dorm I welcome da visit of mah senpai from da bottom of mah heart”
“You’re quite the cute beauty, and I must say that you’re wasted on Akkii”
“The strange and pretty ones always seemed to be draards Akito… Well, be that as it may, I don’t intend to be cold to a senpai ent of of her way to visit us Let’s give her the best hospitality we can offer”
Prez, Nasuhara-san, and Ginbei said
It seeood impression of each of them Well, Jinno-san looked like the typical airhead/softhearted character at first glance, so she didn’t leave a bad i major happened
In any case, the tea party was progressing with a harmonious atmosphere With the cheesecake Akiko baked and the spare assam[1] Ginbei took out, it was a tea party held onderful taste There were even flowers Also, Jinno-san’s talk about this dor conversation To suood time
Then, as ere about to break up for the day, Jinno-san, who had been s until then, suddenly looked nervous and started conversation again:
“U~?”
After that preface she looked at her kouhai’s faces and continued:
“Eeeh I’d like to ask about Akito-kun…”
“Hoho~ What about Himenokouji Akito?”
At ti by that, prez took the initiative and dealt with the request
“For soloomy or… how tah say… like ya can’t help worryin’? Maybe this fellow here’s guilty of somethin’? If so, then don’t worry ‘n tell me, it’s mah duty as the student council president, after all”
“No, well, it’s not that Akito-kun didn’t exactly do anything harmful, no…”
“No, no, Jinno-san, no need to keep talkin’, I gotcha already Jinno-san’s a real beauty, so it ain’t farfetched for Hiht?”
“Sure… Lose control, you say?”
“Anyone can i et one answer Ain’t that it, Himenokouji Akito?”
“What’s ‘it’?”
I returned the president’s gaze with scornful eyes
“Please don’t force your own values on everything To begin with, Prez is the one bursting with desires here, not ht?”
