Sekigae Bishoujo ni h.o.r.erareta – Chapter 6
CREEPER… AWW MAAAN…
1Miina
Ten minutes or so later, before it would rain again, Yuki went home in a hurry.
Yuki's house is on the second floor of a five-story condominium lined up in a residential area, just after the train station.
Going through the entrance, then going up using the stairs.
The apartment is a 3LDK type with veranda. Currently living with his father and his little sister.
His father's work is in the other city, so he leaves early in the morning and also comes back late at night.
Not to mention he's currently on a business trip, so he's in a monthly mansion in Kansai area. Once every weekend, he may or may not come back to see our situation.
Usually, Yuki's little sister, Miina, who is 3 years younger than him, opens the door for him. But that did not seem to be the case today.
Is Miina eating somewhere again today?
The door was locked.
However, as soon as I opened the door, Pan pan! I heard such sounds, like those you usually hear from party crackers going off.
In the room I thought was empty suddenly the lights turned on, and my little sister 2, Miina, jumped towards me. 3
T-s.h.i.+rt + short-pants wearing Miina, pointed at the table, and then,
「Jajaaa~n! Look look! Miina made a surprise birthday cake for Yuki-kun! Surprise! Were you surprised?」
「Yup, I was surprised.」
「Yatta!4 I was able to surprise Yuki-kun!~ Yatta~ YATTAAAA~!!5」
After hopping a few times, Miina took Yuki's arm to lead him to the table.
And while holding hands as is, he was made to sit on the chair and faced to the birthday cake.
The thing on the top of the plate was a plain roll cake that had fresh cream all over, and with some sticky canned fruits on top of it.
It would be surprising if Miina made a whole cake by herself, but this one was really surprising in some sense.
「Please eat~」
「Miina, today is not my birthday.」
「I know I know, this is something like a before birthday party.」
「Though this feels more of a after birthday party.」
「I think you can eat a birthday cake even if it's not your birthday yet.」
「That's quite a novel idea.」
Seriously, today is not Yuki's birthday or anything at all.
After getting realistic, Miina put her hand on her chin making a thinking gesture 6, and then,
「If birthday is no good… Uhmmm… Yes! If there's Father's day and Mother's day, there should be Onii-chan's day as well! 7」
「Are you trying to copy father's tone?」
「Considering there's a cake today, let's make today an Onii-chan's day as well! Onii-chan Banzai! Long live Onii-chan!」8
What a cheerful cheering9. Looks like she is trying to bribe me with cheering.
Well, it looks fun so it doesn't matter, Yuki doesn't care about small things.
Rather, every day is like this, so you will just stress yourself if you want to talk some sense every day.
It is no exaggeration to say that it was Miina who made Yuki so expressionless.
「But I feel bad to eat everything by myself..」
「Don't worry about it Yuki-kun. Miina already taken so much!」
「So this is indeed an after party…. Also, don't say 'taken' you should say Itadakimas.h.i.+ta.」
「ITADAKIMAs.h.i.+TA!」10
Halt and salute.
The reason why Miina's tone is sometimes polite or sometimes bad is because she is in the middle of a correction.
Even if it's not about the tone, it's about the choice of words, or it's about the way she uses her words being somewhat weird. It can be generally said that she just uses words in a wrong way.
On the other hand, Yuki's name is p.r.o.nounced Yuuki, but Miina's p.r.o.nunciation comes hard at the start to it can be heard as Yuki-kun. 11
「By the way, since Miina is already full, she doesn't need any dinner~」
「I know, you've eaten a huge piece by yourself, didn't you.」
While whistling but ending up with no whistle sounds at all, Miina tried to feign ignorance and sat on the chair across him.
She may have came to a conclusion that it would be bad if she just made a cake without reason, not to mention she almost ate it all herself. So she had to make such reasoning to pa.s.s it by.
