Even
though we are on the same track and field club, to be honest, I hadn't really
talked to Sato-san. I have to admit that I was quite bewildered when she
contacted me, "Let me copy your homework!", so straightforwardly.
Still,
I went to a family restaurant in front of the station as promised, and found
that Sato-san had arrived first, and Tachioka-san came a little later.
I knew
Tachioka-san's face, but we had never talked before. So, it's like I'm in the
middle of nowhere.
She is
about the same height as me, and had twin-tails.
She is
not flashy, but she gives off an air of a strong person.
Sato-san
said “Kizuna is a hard-core pervert who is madly in love with her own brother,
so I'm sure she and Moribe would get along”, which was rather rude to me.
When
she talked about her favorite actors, she got excited, and when she talked
about fashion, she was rather enthusiastic.

However,
what got her most excited was when she talked about how Tachioka-san was doing
all the housework.
The
conversation turned to the supermarket's special sales, and Sato-san was made
to promise to accompany each of us to buy a pack of eggs at the next special
sale.
After
we had gotten to know each other quite well, I asked Tachioka-san something
that had been bothering me.
「Um...
What do you mean, you like your Onii-san...?」
「Yes,
I like him. Isn't that what family love is supposed to be about?」
「Oh, I
see, that's what you mean」
It's good.
Sato-san was just exaggerating. Seeing me breathe a sigh of relief, Sato-san
asked Tachioka-san.
「Kizuna,
what's your happiest moment?」
「Huh?
When I'm washing Onii-chan's pants」
Satou-san
turned to me with a frown on her face.
「Wasn't
it when you kissed him?」
「Huh?
Isn't kissing normal? It's not like that's going to make my heart pound now」
「Eh,
aha-ahaha...」
I
couldn't help but let out a dry laugh, and Sato-san looked at me like,
"See?" .
「Tachioka-san,
so you like your Onii-san, don't you?」
「Ah,
that face, you're misunderstanding me, aren't you? It's a family affair.
Onii-chan has a girlfriend, after all. And I'm good friends with
Minami-onee-chan」
「Ah, I
see」
I'm a
little relieved.
（They
just have too much skinship... well, some families do）
As I
was saying this to myself, Tachioka-san said with a slightly enchanted look on
her face.
「In
the future, if Onii-chan and Minami-onee-chan get married, I dream of the three
of us sleeping together in a big bed in the form of a river (川)」
「...Huh?」
Sato-san
looked at me like, "See?".
But
then Tachioka-san's voice suddenly dropped.
「It's
just, thing haven't been going so well between Onii-chan and Minami-onee-chan
lately...」
「Probably
because of Kizuna, right?」
When
Sato-san said that, Tachioka-san's lips puckered up and she let out a
frustrated sound.
「Derau
~ea...」
Apparently,
she was trying to make it popular.
◇ ◇ ◇
Tattakata...
well, since she didn't want me calling her that, so unwillingly, I'll call
Takaka, Onee-chan. Then now, she and I went shopping in the afternoon.
We
visited a commercial building in a neighboring city, and she bought a lot of
clothes and underwear, and let me carry half of the large shopping bags she
brought with her as a matter of course.
（Oh,
so I'm a baggage handler, am I?）
Well,
I think this is the reason why she took me out for shopping.
（But
still, it's rather... unexpected）
The
lineup of the clothes she bought was very gal-like. Did she get inspired by
being with gyaru at the camp?
By
the way, the physical touches are intense, she uses gyaru-speak in some places,
and she seems to say "Yabai!" .
After
spending the whole day with her, I was getting less and less tense, but the
more I talked to her, the more I couldn't believe that she was the same person
as the chairwoman of the Public Morals Committee, even though they looked the
same.
（Maybe
she's possessed by the spirit of a gal...?）
And
now, we've come back to the nearest station and are having dinner at a fast
food restaurant in front of the station.
She
seemed to have spent a lot of money today, but when I asked her about it, she
laughed and said, "My hobby before was saving money".
（...What
kind of change of heart is that?）
As I'm
thinking about that while biting at the teriyaki burger, Onee-chan suddenly
pouts her lips while looking at her phone.
**b
「I've
been sending messages to my boyfriend, but he hasn't read any of them」
「Boyfriend... Ehhhh!?」
「Why
are you acting like that? It's funny...」
She
says it's funny, but she looks at her phone like it's not even funny.
A boyfriend
for that walking, right-angled, steel-headed public moral, that's usually a big
scoop. If I had any friends, I'd send a group message right now to spread the
word. If I had any friends!
Anyway,
while I was in the bathroom, I sent a smug message to Kijima-senpai.
He
read it right away, but didn't reply.
When
we left the fast food restaurant, it was already dark and past seven o'clock in
the evening.
「Well,
it's just the two of us, so curfew doesn't matter, right?」
「Okay...」
I
didn't know what to do with Takaka, who was saying things that were unbecoming
of the chairwoman of the public morals committee, so I just smiled fondly at
her.
「Hey,
there's a place I want to stop at...」
With
that said, Onee-chan took me to a street lined with small buildings behind the
station. It's a night town with twinkling neon signs.
「Oh,
um... it's probably not a good idea to go to a place like this」
「Ahaha,
Fukuda-chi's so serious~」
（No,
you can't say that!）
While
I was making a complaint in my heart, she walked up to a bar.
（A
girl's bar...?）
A
flashy neon signs.
The
inside of the bar is seen through a glass window with colored stickers.
Behind
the counter, I see a line of girls in bikinis.
She is
standing in front of the door, staring at the knob.
（No,
no! We're not supposed to be in there!）
Almost
as soon as I was about to run to her, the door swung open with a shout of “I don't want to come in here again!".
And
then, an old man jumped out and crashed into Onee-chan.
「Kyaa!?」
「Don't
just wander around here! You bitch!」
The
man shouted at Onee-chan, who had fallen on her buttocks, and walked away
indignantly.
「What
the hell is that? Are you all right?」
I ran
over to her and helped her up, and she laughed while rubbing her butt.
「Ahaha,
Gen--... maybe he's always like that. Then, tomorrow, he'll just show up at the
bar again」
「I
knew it, the men who come to this kind of place are bad people!」
When I
said so angrily, she looked sad for some reason and spoke.
「Yes,
they're bad people. Well, yes, it is, but sometimes it's not」
