Volume 2 Chapter 1 Part1 (2/2)

「Pfffft!」

She was so direct with her choice of words that I could not help it but to react the way I did

「Y-you know you're the only one that I love, right?」

「No need to change the subject If she really is just like you described her, then I can see why you'd fall in love with her And besides, I think it's perfectly reasonable for a high school boy to have a crush on their senor, even irl」

I think so too, but shouldn't you be a tad bitabout your brother's potential love interest after all

「On the other hand, this 「shi+ki-san」… how about her? To be honest, she sounds like a troublesoirl Like she's the type who acts all casual and disinterested, but in reality she's a ?」

Oh ht on the ards to her!

「Yes, but I assure you…」

「Then again, you called her your friend and told me that she's the type that can actually be relied on when it counts thefrooing on between you two」

She's right, the number of people I could call 「friends」 was certainly liirls, then I guess it really wouldn't be strange if I happened to harbor ros towards at least one of them

Beside shi+namachi-senpai, shi+ki, and me, there were two more people with us on this trip One of them was Fujisato Yuika, my classmate as well as the class representative of my class who helpedof the school year, and Kuhoh Nagi, an underclassman as a member of both the kendo club as well as my Librarian Committee kouhai Ever since I met them, they've both treated me armth and kindness, and helpedI've felt that if they were ever in trouble, I would not hesitate for even ahand to them, as that would be the least I could do for them to repay them for all they've done for et roo with understanding people's hearts and intentions, as well as grasping all the nuances that make them…」

「But I bet some of them make your heart pound like crazy andin public, right?」

「Maybe they do, but not about anything extre s towards any of your female friends particularly, or just towards shi+namachi-san?」

「…………… only senpai, probably」

「H brother, I'll be more than happy to help you with thatifts to appease me, okay?」

「I'll see what I can do about it」

I have to make sure that I'll never let jealousy take control over me But since emotions like that were also a part of what it , I decided not to dwell on that too ing her wrath down upon myself

「At the very least, pleasecute」

「You knoell as I do that I'll be limited to what the stores will have to offer, don't you?」

Hearing my sister's unreasonable deh a little

「Of course I do Now, enjoy your trip to the fullest, big brother!」

「Thank you I'll do ive it your best」 to have a good tiht」

And with that, our aard sibling's conversation ended It was probably still too early to go to bed, but just hearing those ords from my sister made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside If I wasover soe of for whose able to enjoy sis like that with his whole heart

I swear to God, she really is so else entirely, that dependable little sister of entle confirmed」
