Chapter 152 - Christmas — Part 2 (2/2)

“Then, I’ll take it.”

“Why is Senpai going to take it?”

Giving an appalled laugh, Rei-chan came over and stuck her hand out.

“Give the digital camera. Senpai, you go in the center. Come on, hurry up.”

“Eeeh?”

It seems that everyone else thought the same thing as no one gave any objection to Rei-chan taking the photo. I reluctantly moved into the open spot in the very center.

“Alright, cheese!”

Once, twice, Rei-chan continuously took a few pictures.

“U-ummm… Sana wants one on her phone.”

Sana handed her cellphone to Rei-chan.

“Pupu. Phones like these are like… fossils…”

“I just bought this three months ago, you know? You’re calling it a fossil…?”

According to the twenty year old Rei-chan of the present, this type of mobile phone would definitely be considered antique.

“Uwah… that image quality sucks. I can really feel the times～”

Once you get used to the image quality of high quality cameras in smartphones, this type of image would definitely suck.

“What is that kid talking about?”

Everyone other than me was tilting their head in confusion.

“If it’s then, I can take one and just share it with everyone. Really, these times are so inconvenient.”

Rei-chan was completely talking from above.

Even while saying all of that, Rei-chan took a picture with each of the phones that she was given.

The digital camera also had a timer setting so we were able to take one with everyone together.

“Then… how about we take one of just the siblings next?”

“That’s—”

As I was about to refuse, I ended up seeing Sana looking downwards while grabbing her clothes.

“… Okay. Bring it on.”

“Nii-san… you’re such a siscon…”

It seems like both Kanata and Hiiragi-chan heard what she had whispered, as the two of them were looking on with big smiles.

“Sensei and Kanata-san, please leave the frame.”

The two of them separated from Sana and I in responses.

The picture was then taken with the digital camera. The picture was also taken on Sana’s phone.

I thought that it didn’t really matter which one it was taken on, but Hiiragi-chan was going to print out all the pictures at the end, and Sana wanted both the digital and hardcopy formats.

“Show me.”

“Here you go.”

Sana confirmed the picture on the digital camera.

“… Hmmm…”

She took a glance at me. Hmm? What is it? Did I make a weird face?

“Umm, what’s wrong? Do you want it retaken?”

“Nope. You’re pretty good at taking pictures.”

“It’s the same no matter who takes it though.”

With a dissatisfied expression, Sana pointed in the other direction.

“Nii-san, go over there. I’ll take a picture of you and the kid.”

“Eh? What happened to that demon of jealousy?”

Demon of jealousy.

“Nothing, nothing happened at all.”

She probably won’t admit it, but Sana most likely feels like she owes something. When I walked next to Rei-chan, she immediately wrapped herself around my arm.

“Then, I’ll take you up on the offer ♡”

“…”

Sana’s eyebrows twitched. However, since she was the one that gave permission, she was hesitant on what to do.

“Senpaaai, won’t you give me a kiss?”

“Nope.”

Rei-chan puckered her lips as she brought her face towards mine, however I gripped her with an iron claw and kept my distance.

“Aaahn, Senpai, so meeaan. Then, how about a princess carry ♡”

“Well, if it’s just that…”

“…”

Sana was shaking in fury. The digital camera was creaking.

“Ah, Sana-chan, is this your first time using a digital camera? You don’t need to put that much strength into taking a picture, you know?”

Hiiragi-chan, that’s not why she’s gripping it so hard.

“… Buu. No, that’s not it… Fu, fufu… fufu, fufufu…”

Kanata was sitting on her chair and burying her face in her knees. She definitely seemed like she wanted to laugh out loud but was holding back.

“Sana-chan, just place your left hand on the side, okay?”

“Sensei, that type of advice is only for basketball.”

A retort finally came out for the slightly incorrect advice.

I gave Rei-chan a princess carry. She was pretty light, so I easily held her up.

After quickly taking a few photos, Sana handed Hiiragi-chan the camera in an annoyed manner.

“I’m really looking forward to the printed pictures.”

As Hiiragi-chan smiled and said that, Rei-chan made a satisfied expression.

“I… could live off of that picture for 10 years…”

A mistress candidate really has a strong mentality.

“Y-yeah. I… might be looking forward to it…”

Sana nodded with a slightly blushing face.
