Chapter 158 - Confession (1/2)

Confession

TL: Daemon

ED: PuffyPyjamas

The New Year’s is approaching, with only a few more days until New Year’s Eve.

I arrived at the café that I worked part time at previously over summer break. I didn’t know what better place to choose.

“…”

Across from me, Sana, who had been silent since this morning, was there.

With a bit of nervousness, I took a sip from a café latte that I ordered.

“I have something I want to talk about.”

With just that, Sana seems to have some sort of premonition as to what is going to happen. I was nervous because she might once again return to speaking rudely to me.

I remembered the time when we revealed everything to Natsumi-chan. I was nervous back then, but not as nervous as I am today.

The sound of the door opening could be heard, announcing the arrival of a new guest.

“Welcome”, came the voice of a host. “My party is already waiting for me,” said a voice that I was very used to.

When I turned around, I found Hiiragi-chan, holding her coat in hand.

After meeting me in the eye, she gave a small smile and came over to where we were.

“Sorry about this, it’s winter break too.”

She sat down next to me, causing Sana’s eyebrows to furrow for an instant.

“…Sana wants to go home and play games.”

“I’m really sorry about this.”

Hiiragi-chan’s smile was mixed with bitterness.

Hiiragi-chan ordered some tea, and after a while, it was placed on the table. Then, as if making her preparations, she drank one mouthful of it.

“…Sana-chan, I’m guessing you already know somewhat…”

Yeah, Sana responded in a quiet voice. There wasn’t anyone in our surroundings that I recognized. I continued the statement.

“Hiiragi-sensei and I are dating. When I say dating, I mean that we are lovers in a relationship.”

Once I said that, I felt Hiiragi-chan stiffen next to me.

“…I-I knew already… Somewhat. Sana always thought it was a possibility.”

Forcefully looking down Sana took a deep breath.

“Gosh, I can’t believe it. Sana can’t accept it!”

Sana started to throw a childish tantrum by flailing her legs.

“W-why!? You told me to believe in you!?”

Hey, this is different from what she said!!

“What are you talking about? Sana doesn’t remember saying that at all.”

No well, it’s certainly true that the one who said it was the Sana of the future, but—

“If I hid it, you would have been super unsatisfied, and our relationship as siblings would have broken down!”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

Of course, you don’t!

“Sana-chan, please listen. We are seriously dating.”

Sana looked at us both in turn.

“Seriously, right? Then, have you guys kissed?”

““…W-we haven’t.””

“That’s a lie! Definitely a lie! There was an awkward pause! Nii-san, you lecher!”

“Are you a child! Any adult would do adult things after they begin to date!”

“That’s why! You always try to hide it… that’s why… Do you not trust Sana?”

It doesn’t seem like I should! Especially with how childish you’re acting.

“Hiiragi-sensei is an adult, and you can have a relationship with an adult. So why are you with Nii-san?”
