265 Can I Have Big Brother’s Phone Number? (2/2)

”I don’t know the specific reason either, but he should wake up again after resting a while… do you live close to here?”

”…Big brother, who are you?” The blue-haired little girl didn’t answer his question; instead she blinked and peered up at Seiji’s face.

”I’m Seigo Harano from Genhana High School, Year 1, Class 5.” Seiji took out his student ID and showed her. ”I’ve met your brother once before. I coincidentally ran into him on the street just now and noticed that he was in a terrible condition, so I decided to interfere and take him home.”

”Oh…”

”If you believe me, I can help carry him to your home. If you don’t, feel free to make a phone call and have your family come pick him up.” Seiji put away his student ID.

The blue-haired little girl examined Seiji. ”I believe you, big brother!” she said eventually. The girl smiled and introduced herself: ”My name is Airi Fuuma. I’m… Hiroshi Fuuma’s younger sister.”

Airi? Seiji suddenly thought of a certain h—

'Cough cough, gentlemanly thoughts, begone!'

”My home is nearby; please help carry my brother there.” The little girl led the way.

”Alright.” Seiji agreed and carried the fainted Hiroshi on his back.

Just like Airi said, their home was only a short distance away. After a few minutes they reached a house with a sign that read Fuuma nailed to it.

Airi opened the door with a key, and Seiji followed her inside. Upon entering the living room, he placed Hiroshi on the sofa.

”This will probably do… he should wake up after a little while. If he doesn’t wake up for a long time or if you’re really worried, you can call for an ambulance,” Seiji told Airi. ”I’m going to get going now.”

”…You’re not going to stay for a while?” The little girl looked at him with confusion.

”No need. I’m not his friend or anything. I only met him once and then coincidentally ran into him again on the street.” Seiji smiled at her. ”Goodbye, little sister.”

Airi’s face reddened slightly upon seeing his smile.

‘This big brother is so handsome! Brother is a handsome boy as well, but he can’t compare to this person at all, and he’s an idiot to boot! As for Brother’s friends, they’re all pretty much on the same level as Brother.'

‘But this person right here is different. His handsomeness is on another level entirely... He’s so tall, so gentle, so reliable, and his smile is so alluring... He’s just like a prince!’

”…Goodbye, big brother.” Airi reflexively said goodbye to him, and he turned around to go. Inwardly she felt a little unwilling to watch him leave.

Just as this handsome boy was about to walk out the front door, she was seized by a sudden impulse.

”W-wait!” she stuttered.

”Hmm?” The handsome boy turned around.

”Um… could I have big brother’s phone number?” the little blue-haired girl asked him bashfully, her face flushing crimson.

Seiji was rendered speechless.

Airi was an elementary schooler, judging by her age, wasn’t she? Were all elementary schoolers like her these days? He blinked his eyes in surprise.

No, he decided to not think in that direction and to receive clarification first.

”Why do you want my phone number?”

Airi didn’t know how to respond to this.

‘Because you’re so handsome, so I want to get to know you… but how could I possibly say this out loud!?’

”I just… want to… is this no good?” Her face was beet-red, and her eyes were glistening as she looked up at his face.

‘Cute!’ Seiji definitely received an impact from the beautiful little girl’s embarrassed manner.

He suddenly felt as if he understood why there were so many lolicons in the world now…

'No, stop!' He decided to cut off this line of thought.

”Well… I suppose it’s alright.” After he thinking about it rationally, it was just a phone number, and it wasn't a big deal, so he decided to give it to her.

He assumed that this little girl just had an impulse in the heat of the moment and that she would end up forgetting about him.

Seiji told her his phone number.

Airi took out her cell phone and recorded it.

This was the first time in her life that she'd asked for a boy’s number of her own volition, and it was also the first time that she had a male contact in her cell phone other than her father and her older brother!

Seigo Harano… a handsome, prince-like boy.

After he left, Airi stared at the new number in her contact list for quite a while and smiled dazedly while adding the description of ”Prince” to Seigo’s name.

He actually wasn’t even one of her brother’s friends… her brother was so useless!
