Volume 10 Chapter 7 (1/2)
June arrived
They switched to summer uniforms
The design didn't change but the hter overall Which somehow made her want to twirl around
”… Why are you spinning?”
Her younger brother Yuuki asked, as he poked his head through the open door with a stunned expression on his face Without the winter button-up jacket, the white shi+rt of the Hanadera Acade
”Hehehe”
Because, she was in a good htly Her skirt flared
The weather currently was so-so According to the weather report, there was no chance of rain this weekend It would be cheerful weather
”You're really that happy to be going on a date with Sachiko-san?”
Yuuki asked, taking a couple of steps into her room His objective wasn't his beautiful older sister, but the mirror on the door of his sister's closet
”You bet I'm happy”
Yumi answered as she tied her hair ribbons Because it was such a good ht blue ribbons with a lace fringe
”Even though you see her every day?”
”Of course”
It was a trip with just the two of them Sachiko-sama's time was reserved solely for Yumi, with no-one to interrupt them Completely different to school
”That's a relief”
”What is?”
”Well, recently you haven't been all that happy, right? That sort of thing”
Yuuki stood beside Yuo, they'd been about the saht, but he'd shot up Guys But not only that, the way he'dtoo
”Thanks for your concern But I' with s related to our amusement park date”
Like saying that she felt reassured Yu she'd treat Yu that they should both wear jeans
Under those circumstances, it looked like they'd have a wonderful date this Sunday
”Not only that, but Sachiko-saentle recently It was stupid of s”
”Hmm”
Yuuki had a conflicted expression on his face as he re-buttoned his cuffs
”You know, your school life seems to revolve around Sachiko-san”
”Yep Because we're soeurs … Why?”
”It sounds like dependence, or so, you know”
”Worrying?”
Perhaps seeing the change in his older sister's expression, Yuuki quickly backpedaled
”Ah, no, it's probably justneedlessly… How to put it, ah, I'm a worry-wart, you know Pay no attention to me”
” - Alright”
Yumi nodded She'd intended to s weird
” … Sorry, I'll be leaving ahead of you”
Seeer, Yuuki fled downstairs Perhaps because he was in such a hurry, he slipped on the last step and landed on his butt
”Don't worry about it”
Yu
There was nothing to worry about
Indeed, compared to her, Yuuki was quite sensitive
But, see, look how kind Sachiko-saazed raptly at her onee-sama
”You didn't have to run”
Yumi's fourth period class had been outdoors and when she showed up late to their lunchti, Sachiko-sama discretely offered her her handkerchief To wipe away her sweat
”Ah, it's okay”
Yu herself to contaminate that pretty handkerchief with her sweat, so she took out her own handkerchief and used it to wipe her forehead
It wasn't dependence And even if that had just been an exaether
Recently, the cause of Yu to the Rose Mansion, so Yumi could spend her time there at ease
But, as that? So felt different to usual
Sachiko-sa was strange
It wasn't because she'd beco scolded by Sachiko-sama She'd been touched by her onee-sama's kindness plenty of tihtly different, although she couldn't really explain what
”Wait”
Sachiko-saently retied Yumi's hair ribbon
”That's a lovely ribbon”
”Ah, thank-you”
Yu to Sachiko-sa at her at all
She'd retaken her seat and was already talking to shi+mako-san
”Yumi-san, Yumi-san”
As Yu on Saturday, someone called out to her in the hallway
When she turned around, there was no-one there She started to walk again, looking puzzled, and the voice caain
”Over here, over here”
It was in her blind-spot, so Yumi couldn't see where the caller was, but the voice see the corridor, near the staircase
”… What are you up to, Minako-sama?”
The way she was lurking down the stairs with only her voice coh to the corridor was more like a female ninja than the head of the newspaper club Fros like this
”Shh!”
”But that's even more conspicuous”
There were still a lot of other studentstheir way home, in both the corridor and the stairwell
”Even if we do stand out a little bit, it's fine as long as we're not seen by the people we don't want to be seen by”
”I see”
