Vol 4 Chapter 1 (2/2)
”But I am Ei-kun's childhood friend! I'm obviously the only one!”
”As if it could be like that Try to think, didn't you too have other friends when you were little?”
”Yeah, for example, Mi-tan who moved to Hokkaido, or Sakaki-chan who left to Fifenel Middle School”
”You see? It's the saht?”
Chiwa gave a 'uuh~~' sound and lowered her head
”Also, e're talking about childhood friends, there is no need to consider the time period”
”Time period?”
”That would be the 'length' of the ti to know as early as possible mattered, then wouldn't the obstetrician at the birth clinic be the one with the deepest relationshi+p? That can't be correct, right?”
Chiwa raised her head, and stared at me ide teary eyes, just like a Chihuahua
”I aest?”
”Yeah, it's you by far”
Chiwa's for flower
”[] Ehe♪”
Chiwa ju me to carry her
”H-Hey, get off, Chiwa! This is really e!”
”Butbutbutbut, but, for me, Ei-kun has also been the absolute first!”
Chiwa's ribbons pattered as they hit ainst ain, 'The feeling froetthe household', 'I think his ill act up with hi off of a ten thousand yen allowance' About that fourth thing, Suzuki-san, please do not play predictions with my future
”Shouldn't you just give it a rest already?!”
Right when I yelled that, Chiwa nimbly jumped off my back
I looked back overand wearing a special smile
”Ei-kun, I love you!”
After sheconfession of love, she ran ahead to the front where Su
”Yeah, yeah…”
I love you, huh?
Since ere small, how many times has she said that?
Each tier steak, and things like that, she'd always confess— If I counted all of theits by now
”Really— Everyone You guys are too excited, we're just going to Ei-kun's house— I' over every day, so I'm tired of it already— Even for today, I'll have dinner there—”
Thus, akin to the airs of a senpai, Chiwa displayed the 'air of a childhood', she addressed everyone with her usual attitude On the other hand, Fuyuu very sour You could call this a trade - off of sorts
As we arrived in front ofover from the other side
She earing a white shi+rt with vintage jeans, dressed casually, and swaying unsteadily as she walked
Lack of sleep combined with eyes open or closed, one could barely tell— It was impossible to mistake who this was
”Saeko-san, welcome home!”
”Heya there, Eita, ht as well say welcome home!”
I ran near her and Saeko-san s her white teeth
This was my aunt Kiryuu Saeko-san
File:Oreshura v04 041jpg
She had taken the role of uardian as I had been abandoned by my parents She usually slept over at her company due to work, so we typically saw each other only once every ten days
”Ah— It's Saeko-san! hello!”
”Hey Chihuahua-chan, how are you?! You're full of energy, as usual”
Chiwa rushed over and greeted Saeko-san, and the other three followed suit
”I heard about you guys You're the 'Society for Bringing Out Your Soht? I am Kiryuu Saeko, Eita's onee-san! Kyun-Kyun[3]!”
”Wuah—”
I didn't want have anything to do with this Even though she wasto do with this
Probably perceiving everyone's subtle expressions, Saeko-san laughed out loud
”I was just trying to start off with a little gag~~ Well, I'm Eita's aunt”
”We don't need that kind of opening joke”
Well, she does look younger than her age If her appearance or her personality were the only things considered, no one would consider her in her thirties
”Well, which one of these girls is Eita's girlfriend?”
My childhood friend, ex-girlfriend, and fiancé's expressions all froze and went 'hic'!
Only irlfriend' revealed a rosy smile and stepped forward
”I alad to meet you, Oba-sa from here on I am currently in a pure relationshi+p with Eita-kun ”
Saeko-san smiled wryly and shook her head as soon as she heard her:
”No, no The one I want to know about isn't this 'fake' kind”
Masuzu and I simultaneously held our breath and looked at each other
How come?
How come Saeko-san's able to realize about this fake deal?
Saeko-san laughed, and used her finger with nail polish on it to poke my chest:
”Come on, just say it The one you really like, which one is it?”
”N-No! I'm”
Because it was too sudden, I couldn't let out a confident voice
The one I really like? What is Saeko-san talking about— Does shelovers? If that's the case, the ansould be, 'none of theirls here, but there was 'no one' in existance anywhere There is no such thing as a girl I like
However, if I said that out loud right here, it would coement with Masuzu as a fake boyfriend, and it would cause all of our hard work to dissolve into thin air
Of course, the other three girls did not remain silent
”Ei-kun?”
Chiwa's wide eyes stared at
”Eita?”
Hirabbed my shi+rt and pulled hard Ah— Hime-chan, you'll pull
”Stamp…?”
Of course the person hispered that was Fuyuumi And I certainly wouldn't stamp it!
The only one left was, most critically, Masuzu— but she only used her eyes to stare at me
The expression was very rare, as if it exposed Masuzu's 'fragility'
damn
What's wrong, Natsukawa Masuzu? Isn't this the right tie abilities and pull through?
Why do you acting like an ordinary person receiving a huge shock?!
Why are you staring at me with those eyes…
I have no choice but to pull this off by myself, huh?
”What are you saying, Saeko-san? I don't get what you mean”
”Un?”
Even thoughlike mad, I still desperately declared the love achievements that Masuzu and I had
”Masuzu and I are really ~ seriously going out, we are totally lovey-dovey We always go hoo to the cafe to drink tea, coffee, and cola… After that ays go hoether”
”You go ho~”
”No— At that time when Masuzu confessed to me, I really couldn't stand it! After all, it was in front of the entire class! The first thing that I thought was that it was a curse from the Gods! Hahahaha!”
Giving praise to one's wife This should do it, right?
Is it just me, or does Masuzu face look very disappointed in me…?
”———Eita, you arethe point”
My heart jumped a little bit
What? W-Was there soe I said?
”Well, I for one, Eita—”
”Y-Yes!”
”I'ry”
”Ha?”
My eyes turned into small dots
”It so happens to be that I ayuu~~”
Saeko-san leaned on me as she collapsed little by little
Her face was ghastly pale, and her hands were shi+vering cold
”Because of the continuous mayhem lately, I haven't slept, haven't eaten, haven't slept, haven't eaten…”
”Please say that kind of thing sooner!”
”I'm sworry~ I wanted to first establish the identity of Eita's cute onee-san Dokyun-Dokyun”
”Enough with the 'kyun-kyun'! Please think about your age!”
Honestly, this person
She's uardian, but actually a weird person She's a weird person, but actually uardian That's Kiryuu Saeko-san
