18 The Beginning Of A Tale (1/2)

After school had ended, I proceeded to walk to the front gate where Mio is waiting for me.

”Nii-sama~”, she waved her hand towards me.

I noticed that she had her friends surrounding her, she came running towards me.

”Hey, Mio. Is it good to leave your friends like that?”

”Un~! They are worthless in front of Nii-sama!”

I somehow feel bad for her friends...

”Y-Yuuji what a coincidence!”

As we walked out of the school gates, we met up with Hanako who seems to be lying in wait around the corner.

Mio tightened her grip around my arm and scowled at Hanako as usual,

”*Grr* So we meet again, miss stalker.”

”S-Stalker?!?!”

”You... You were intentionally waiting for my brother, were you not?”

”N-Nonsense! W-Why should I even do that?!?!”

I soften my look towards Hanako.

”Hanako...”

”Yuuji?”

”It's okay to be honest sometimes, you know...”

”Hah?!?! Hmph! I'm not talking to you anymore!”

”Good! And don't you dare come near my brother again!”, Mio interrupted.

”W-Wha?!?!”

Realizing that she made a mistake, she started to fluster.

”Let's go, Nii-sama!”, said Mio as she started to drag me away from Hanako.

”W-Wait!”

”What is it? I thought you said you weren't going to talk with my brother anymore. If you no longer have business with us, we shall take our leave...”

”W-Wait! Mou~ Fine! I'm sorry, okay?”

”I-can't-hear-you~~~”

”Mou~~~~”

When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but smile.

”Ma~Ma~ Mio, stop bullying Hanako. It's not nice, okay”, I said that as I chopped her head lightly.

”Owie~ Okay, Nii-sama.”

”And Hanako, you need to be more honest with yourself, okay? Or else you might regret it in the future.”

”H-Hmph! I-I don't need you to tell me that!”

I sighed at Hanako's stubbornness. Sometimes she can be quite charming, but why does she act like this for most of the time...?
