Vol 2 Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2 - Cooperative tactic!?
Recently I feel like I’nity as a man
Speaking frankly, I’ made fun of
And that’s because
The pretty freeloader ghoul girl that came suddenly ― Zonmi R McKenzie
The devil-like little sister that lurks inside the Kusumi home ― Kusumi Manami
Currently trapped in the pace of these two, oes by without issue
Hey, hey
What a situation I, whose catchphrase is “To hell with sissy main characters” and does not want also to be known as a “bossy husband in the flesh”, have ended in…
It’s an urgent matter that must not be left unresolved
… Nevertheless
A ghoul and my blood-related sister That pair of selfish-to-the-core pretty girls that are constantly letting out sighs of ‘So must be done about this personality…!’ are impossible to be kept in check
In the end, I ― today like always I can’t help but being controlled
“Chiharu Are they going to celebrate a festivity soon in this town?”
Morning While waiting for the bus in front of the station
While standing to houl
Straight long silver hair reminiscent of white snow, slender limbs
Her features without flaw, her dignified gaze gives her a cold aura ― a beautiful girl with the atmosphere of a cool beauty
“Aah Youfestival that encompasses the Tanabata Festival, a summer festival and a fireworks rally”
The preparation being ed the town scenery
Though there’s still time until Tanabata, the hastiest shops have already started to place the stalls
“I see It’s a festival overfloith greed By the way, Chiharu, are you planning on going with someone to it?”
“Nope No one in special at this moment…”
“Is that so? That’s surprising”
“… Izzat so?”
Could it be that inside Zon many friends?
Though that said, it’s not very wrong
Zon for a moment,
“By the way, Chiharu, are you currently seeing someone?”
That’s quite the sudden question she has made
“In the least that’s not possible…”
Simply look at my usual lifestyle and you’d understand!
Even if I’ve been truthful, for some reason Zonmi’s expression harbors suspicion
“Chiharu… It’s not good to lie to me Wouldn’t it be better for you to tell me the truth?”
“I’…”
Isn’t that because I couldn’t get a girlfriend for 16 years?
“I see I’ve got a gist of the situation”
“Hoo, so you’ve finally understood?”
“Yes There’s no ‘person’ you’re going out with, because it’s a ‘ out with Isn’t that what Chiharu means?”
“Wouldn’t it better be that I have neither a huirlfriend!?”
“… Muu”
Even when I explained myself without delay, Zonmi seems like she’s still not convinced
Why does Zonmi distrust me that much
Or rather, that about a ‘hly destructive potential…
“―Ah!”
I’ve just realized so
“Could you be talking about the pendant?”
So it was that I had totally forgotten that I’ the pendant I found yesterday
When I asked, Zonmi nodded with an embarrassed face,
“Yeah No matter what, it doesn’t seem to suit Chiharu…”
“… Perhaps a little”
I’m not someone ears many accessories, for starters
“Could it be so you received from a past lover?”
“Hardly, since as I’ve kept telling you, I’irlfriend”
Don’t
“…”
“…”
“……”
“…… Wha?”
Even though I’ve said the truth, it seems as if the air around us instantly froze
It seein” is a taboo expression to Zonmi
“So it’s like that It seems that I became oversuspicious Of course soet a lover No doubt I must excuse myself”
Zonmi looks like she despises me
“… No problem”
Looks like I’ve cleared her doubts, but… What the heck This is surely very complex…
“Haah…”
I let out a deep sigh
No matter what, I didn’t think this pendant would raise so much suspicion
Do I look like an outsider to fashi+on?
Since it appeared out of nowhere insideit, but… Truth to be told, I didn’t think it would cause such a fuss
Have I to conceal it under etting suspicious and causing a riot?
“Getting back on track So, you are not going to participate this year?”
“Nope I had planned on going, at least…”
Maybe I’ll go together withhim, it seems that he won’t let the chance escape
“I have been asked by Mana to a festival with … I think I better pass”
“I see I think it’s a commendable judiciousness”
“If you’re interested, would you like that us tent together?”
“… Wha?”
As it seemed that Zonape, soon after she became panicked with her face pure red ―
“Whahat the heck do you plan by saying that!? Maybe, what you mean with those words… Do you have the intention to be on a date with me!?”
“… No Nothing so flashy”
My intentions
“Wasn’t only recently that Zonusa city? You’re still not familiar with this area”
Needless to say, o with, it will be easier to fend off my sister’s approaches
“… Th-thank you very much from the bottom of my heart”
Totally in disarray, Zonmi took a deep breath in
“Sadly, Iunder the su a stroll in the houl…”
“Ah―”
That’s right, didn’t she tell houls were sent to hospital?
If it’s like that, then there’s no way around it
And recently it’s been abnormally hot
To the hu + weak to heat Zonmi, an event like a festival could be like hell
“Then… Though I can’t attend to the suo somewhere indoors―”
“KyeeeeeEEEEEEEEE―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――!!”
“!?”
The , a shriek like that of an uprooted ora was heard
Glancing on the direction of the voice ― a pretty girl came out of a trash bin placed on the street
Big and round eyes like those of a small chick
Nicely developed big breasts
Her black hair, pride of japan, was arranged as a ponytail at the back of her head
Kusumi Manami The one that has suddenly come out of a trash bin is my little sister
“What the heck is that, oniichan!? I deet what you mean at all!?”
“Calive a explanation!? That thing you are doing… Is it a human jack-in-the-box!?”
However
As if it was only natural, Manami turned a deaf ear
Instead, she criticized her brother’s hu out “Uwah Don’t make that comparison” in a small voice
”Why, while you turn downan appointment with the zombie? That’s totally weird!”
“…”
I do it in order to have a good pretext to turn down your approaches… That’s so I won't say even if you rip my mouth open
How coet over it?
It seeht this time
If my invitations were turned down and I saw the other party asking out a total stranger… Even if I’ht with me
There’s no option… I’ll use ‘that’
The last resource when in trouble It tends to work
As it h I don’t like it, I have no other way
Brushi+ng away erated cool pose
“Listen, Manami This is totally for your sake…”
“Eh…”
Manah with a befuddled face
“… Wait a bit, what?”
Yosh Hook, line and sink
My little sister’s expression turned in a flash into that of a lovestruck maiden
“I’ht? Since you areyou to harden your heart? Next year, you’re also gonna be a high school student Won’t it be troubling to you if you cannot let go of your brother by then? I beg you, Manale friend before then”
“…”
It’s really so asex drive, she had no one she could call a friend in elementary and middle school
That’s why s
Though it’ll be good that Mana to her brother for a bit…
“Understood… If that’s what oniichan says… Manaether with to the festival”
“That’s it… Did you understand?”
shi+t I got some tears in eyes
As I expected, if you make Manami listen properly, she’s quite the sensible child…
“In turn, if Manao with to the festival… There’s so I want as a reward Will you promise me?”
“… Promise?”
“Not now ― once it happens, oniichan Let’s go together to the festival”
“Eh”
What the heck does she mean by that
After going to the festival with a friend, double booking by going together to the festival with me?
Iback to the start line!?
“Hey, Manao of your brother, isn’t that putting the cart before the horse?“
“Pretty please! This is the last I will ask of you! I want ether to a festival with my brother…”
“…”
Since it’s unusual that Mana it on impulse
Thinking about it… Isn’t this to so insistently asked to the festival?
I don’t want to say it, but the chances of my sister that has been a solo player all her life to successfully make a friend in the lapse of a few days… Are far slimmer than the chances of survival of an ocean sunfish’s[2] offspring
“Understood I’ll promise you that”
After talking with a bit of a serious tone, Mana,
“I did iiit!! Oniichan, I love youuu!!”
MUGYUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Manaed me with all of her tender body
Also, how er will you stay inside that trash bin?
Since the start, being hugged by my sister doesn’t make me very happy, but the stench like dead crayfish that comes from her hair adds up an extra layer
If you’re going to be hugging, take out the rubbish from your hair
“Chiharu, you adulterer”
Zonlare cold like a North Pole blizzard
“…Ah”
This is bad Could it be that, this time, is Zonmi the one who has lost her temper?
Now that I say it, that’s right I may have been insensible from my part to promptly make this kind of pro asked her out
Being these two the women most near to me, unless you are very careful, the troubles won’t stop
“Sorry About this…”
“Jealous wench!”
By pro a follow-up, Manami didn’t let me continue
“shi+tty zombie! Read the et out♪”
“… Ku”
Zonmi made a face as if she had bit a lemon,
“How many times do I have to say it to you so that you understand!? My name isn’t zombie It’s Zonhoul clan, Zonmi R McKenzie!”
She rebuked with her usual catchphrase
It see treated as a zombie
“Haa… Still with that? I’m fed up with that sentence!”
“Hey It’s a problem that you are fed up…”
“Straight to the point, zombie-san Aren’t you excessively close to oniichan despite being a newco, you surely feel i out you feel like you’re his girlfriend?”
“Wha-hat are you saying!? If you say that, then you too!”
“With me, it’s fine! Since I’m oniichan’s little sister♪”
“… Is that reason enough? If it’s like that, than I’m Chiharu’s partner ―So it’s only my natural duty to serve at his side”
Saying that, Zon
Soo, I for
For that reason, Zons
Contrastively with Zonot shrouded in darkness
“Ring… Oniichan and the zos…”
“…Ah!”
This is very bad
A switch has totally been flipped
“I won’t forgive you… Never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never, never!”
My sister’s brother coone out of track
That’s bad
So bad that it’s on the level ofeven monsters run away
Even Zonone pale
“Let’s go, Chiharu! It’s dangerous to stay here!”
“… Yup”
Zonmi took my hand
It seems we can’t afford to wait for the bus
The instant we left the station as if ere in agree intent was felt at our backs
“Aaa, You’ve taken…”
“Eh…”
“You’ve taken―, You’ve taken the hand―――――!! You’ve taken oniichan’s hand――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――!!”
I carefully looked back
There, Manami, with the face of a dee knifes with 40 c distances with us with ferocious speed!?
Man… I don’t knohat’s what…
With this you can’t tell who’s the monster
“Chiharu, raise your speed”
“Y-Yeah!”
Zon my hand
―Zon it like that makes me too quite the monster tamer
Could it be due to producing ic power? As of recent,a level that can’t be compared with a normal person
That’s why ― I don’t have to worry about the chance in a million that my sister catches us―
That’s what I was thinking at the moment
“Hya!”
As I thought I’d heard a little shriek, suddenly, Zon on ushed out
“Fufufu At last, I caught you♪”
Fro It was from the front
Before we could have noticed ― there was my sister covered in the red of shed blood
What an a feat, my sister not only defeated a ed to sever the right ar to pull my hand too
Emm, where did she acquire such pointless combat ability?
Good grief, that’s bad for the heart
Had Zonhoul clan… Wouldn’t that have been no laughing matter?
“Fufufu Lass How dare you cut ive you”
“Bring it on♪ Everyone who gets close to onii-chan is an enemy♪ I’ll chop up your heart and body!”
“…”
Taking an weaponumbrella from nowhere, Zonmi faced my sister
My sister being e kitchen knives while s ominously[3]
Man… I don’t knohat’s what anymore…
Ever since Zonmi became a freeloader in the Kusumi residence, every day has been like this
Even if I’h!?
My spirits are almost as lohen I threw a tantruht shi+rt with curry sauce
Paying no attention to those two, I carefully got out of that place and went to school alone
× × ×
“Then, have you heard, Chiharu?”
Lunch break
My classmate from the seat next to mine, Sakurazaka Youhei, asked me with his cheeks stuffed with flavored bread
This good friend of mine is a man of the currently styled ‘low fuel consuirls
“It seems A-class has decided to do caramel apples”
“Eeh Is that so Tanaka from C-class does frankfurts And didn’t Yamazaki from D-class chose chocolate bananas?”
“Yep Both of them have made low-lifeness reach a whole new level It seeirls eat rod-shaped foods, and like that fulfill their hidden intentions of seeing them make sexy poses”
“…”
Regarding our talk till now, it’s about the stands that will be set up during Saegusa festival
A stand even though we are in high school?
Youspecially regarded as part of our school’s extra-curricular activities
