Chapter 302 (2/2)

They should have been expecting e themselves in the power of their skills

Just how much irresponsible are they?

「Kamijou-kun, you also be careful」

「Why?」

「Since the Onsen is hot topic in the town, they also ht sniff it out」

「Aah……」

Certainly, it would be troublesoet interested

I have to make some precautions

「Ah, she’s drooling」

Nanase-san takes out a handkerchief and wipes Tina’s mouth

「You see children」

「I have an imouto Her name is Airi……」

I listen to Nanase-san’s story

Her i, Nanase-san gave her a handmade muffler as a present

Her iot a portrait made the next day, Nanase-san talked joyfully

While hearing her story, I thought

This is Nanase-san’s true character after all

I really like this Nanase-san way better than the cool Nanase-san who always distances herself from the others

Nanase-san quitely pushes Tina’s bangs aside in nostalgia

「You really somehow look like sisters」

「Tina-chan isn’t my imouto She’s my beloved imouto」

「The fact didn’t change, though」

When I say so, Nanase-san tightly holds Tina in her arms and says,

「…… They are, really si eyes……」

「Nanase-san……?」

…… Pota, pota

So fell on Nanase-san’s pillow

Nanase-san suddenly opens her eyes wide

「A, are you okay?」

「I, I’m sorry…… today’s me is really hopeless……」

Goshgoshi+, she wipes her eyes numerous times

But, that doesn’t stop war down on the bed

──Tina has reminded her of her imouto

When I sympathize, Nanase-san covers her head with the futon

I can’t be showing such appearance in front of people

She speaks with ato suppress her tears

──Just how s did Nanase-san suppressed in her heart?

A feel pain deep inside my heart

How should I comfort her?

What should I tell her?

While thinking so in my mind, my hand unconsciously landed on Nanase-san’s small head

The sobbing Nanase-san jolts her shoulders in startle

「See, in here No matter how much you cry, it won’t be spread to our classmates……」

On that day

The smile Nanase-san showed me that day crosses my mind

I thought that I don’t want to see Nanase-san like that anymore

「Therefore, uht with me, that I will listen to as many complaints as you have Don’t hold it back and cry just as much as you want」

I push Nanase-san’s hair slowly aside while talking

The delicate touch tickles my stomach

There’s only one thing I want to say

「At the very least, you don’t have to work so hard, in front of me」

Most likely, to Nanase-san, I’ular

I don’t want Nanase-san to wear that e

I don’t knohy, but that’s what I thought

That was the s collapsed

Nanase-san cried while letting sobbing voice

Not as the cool, flawless class president who can handle anything

But as a single frail girl

While stroking the head of such Nanase-san,

No matter how much I think about it, my heart didn’t slon

While trying to calm down my heart in confusion,

「……I’m so, rry……」

「D, don’t apologize I don’t think that you are an annoyance or anything」

「Uun…… you are wrong…… what I want to apologize for is……」

That time, Tina slowly opened her eyes

「Nu……?」

It seems she has woken up

「Are you crying nodesu, Iori Oneechan?」

The drowsy Tina rubs her eyes after seeing Nanase-san’s disheveled face

「Ah…… sorry…… I have woken you up……」

「Don’t, mind~……」

The cat slips inside the futon again and buries herself in Nanase-san’s bosoain

And then, Suu, Suu, she fell asleep again

「Kamijou, kun」

「What is it, Nanase-san」

「C, can I hold your hand……?」

「…… Alright」

With a slight rustling sound of clothes, Nanase-san extends her white hand

I grasp that hand

With the chilly touch, I felt a certain warmth

「Thank…… you……」

「N You are welcome」

After that, Nanase-san began silently shedding tears

I kept holding her hand until she fell asleep
