In the morning, having left the suite room, Taiyou and Youran took the elevator to the bottom floor.
Taiyou was not wearing the custom tailor-made suit, but his school uniform, and Youran was not in her kimono with her hair down, but was sporting a casual attire with twintails out.
Neither of them were in the formal attire they had attended the party with. This was their usual getup.
Youran and Taiyou were linking arms, bodies firmly next to each other.
No matter how you slice it, they looked like an ordinary high school couple.
If you were to leave out one of them being a super attractive girl.
「I’m gonna go ahead to school, but what about you?」
「I promised Sakura something, so I’ll be meeting with her」
「With Sakura?」
「Mhm. Cause she’s in a hurry to consolidate Juunishima’s interior. I’ll meet her to establish something. She’s superior in her own way, so it would be a waste to leave her id――Ow-」
He flicked her on the forehead as she was talking.
「Hey, what the heck?」
「Stop saying things like that. She’s your blood-related sister, isn’t she?」
「I could care less about how I speak」
Arms still linked, she spoke while rubbing her forehead.
「And stop making that face. It’s oddly cold――and I get in a bad mood just looking at it」
「But……」
「Okay. Just rephrase it」
Taiyou said, turning to the side and staring straight at Youran.
「That’s definitely not a cute face」
「Cu――」
At a loss for words, Youran then began sulking.
Her face showed that it was quite a shock for Taiyou to tell her that it wasn’t “cute”.
「But……Me, and them……」
「You’re sisters, connected by blood. Couldn’t you be a little nicer?」
「That doesn’t……matter」
「Yes, it does matter」
「If she becomes yours, then maybe I wouldn’t――actually, I would put in the effort to be nice, but if that doesn’t happen, then I don’t see why I should」
「Becomes mine?」
「Yep. If she’ll be the seventh person in your seven, then……I’ll get along with her」
「……So that’s the line you’ve drawn?」
「Mhm」
Youran answered promptly. There was no wavering whatsoever.
「It’s good that you have your criteria, but when I see you acting like that……it makes me a little worried for Pochi」
「Adashino?」
「Yeah, cuz she――」
「Don’t worry」
She cut through the middle of what Taiyou was saying.
「Adashino is Kohaku’s daughter after all」
「……Oh, I get it」
The girl’s real name was Juunishima Adashino. They called her Pochi.
Just like Sakura, she was a sister of a different mother; a girl with whom they had a complicated relationship.
It had become more complicated just now.
「That’s fine in and of itself, but…」
「But?」
「Reeeally sloppy」
「Eh? What is?」
「Pochi is your younger sister, and Kohaku’s daughter-in-law. It’s fine up to here, but from my standpoint, if we go so far as to make her a daughter-in-law, that would make your actual younger sister your husband’s daughter-in-law」
「It sure would」
Youran said nonchalantly.
「See? It’s convoluted」
「But considering everything about Adashino……Wouldn’t it be fitting for it to be convoluted? Kohaku seems like she’d enjoy that」
「Ohhh, she does seem like she would enjoy this」
「See? She’ll enjoy it. Convoluted stuff」
「Yeah, she sure would」
「So it’s fine」
「Well……is it?」
As they were nodding at each other over Kohaku, the elevator reached the first floor.
The door opened, and the two of them got off the elevator together.
There were still nearly no people in the first floor lobby. Most of them were employees.
Amidst all that, he walked outside, arm linked with Youran.
