Shiho-chan Wants to be a Younger Sister?
?
“Umm……, can I go ahead …… now?”?
?
I had a feeling that their fight would never end, so I forcefully broke off the conversation.?
?
“Shiho, you can continue in the living room.”?
?
“Ufufu. I know, my little sister Azusa-nyan is so cute that I teased her… She had a pouty look on her face and her reaction was very weak until a while ago. But I’m glad to see that she seems to be in better spirits since Kotaro-kun’s arrival.”?
?
“No, no …… it’s not like that. Azusa is always like this with Shimotsuki-san.”?
?
“Call me ‘Onee-chan’ instead of ‘Shimotsuki-san’?”?
?
Since the incident with Ryuzaki, Azusa had been very depressed.?
?
Since the incident with Ryuzaki, Azusa had been very depressed. She had no energy and was always in a daze every day, but since Shiho started talking to her, her expression seemed to be getting brighter.?
?
“Ugh …… that’s enough.”?
?
In the end, Azusa couldn’t say anything back and headed for the living room to escape. Phew …… I can finally take off my shoes.?
?
I and Shiho also head to the living room to chase after Azusa.?
?
“Kotaro-kun, thank you for your hard work. I’m so impressed that you could go to school even though it’s the end of the summer vacation?……. Yeah, great job! I even forgot that we had school, but Kotaro-kun is so determined.”?
?
“…… I think if anything, Shiho is the one being lazy.”?
?
I’m not really normal, but please don’t give me credit for this.?
?
The clumsy girl is always and everywhere clumsy. She says and does things that are elegant and exudes an air of intelligence, so why is she so …… stupid, not? A little bit, right??
?
But that’s part of the charm of Shiho.?
?
The clumsy part is also a charm – let’s call it that.?
?
“So? Onii-chan, where’s my snack? Did you get it?”?
?
As soon as we arrived at the living room, Azusa, sitting on the sofa, held out one hand and demanded snacks. She has been craving a lot of sweet things lately. I guess it’s a stress reliever, but I think it’s not so good for her umm…… body, so I wanted her to moderate it.?
?
“I did buy some, in case you’re interested …….”?
?
“Wow… ? thanks ……… wow… Why is it like surume (dried squid) or vinegared kelp? I don’t drink alcohol, so I don’t need these snacks.”?
?
“You’ve eaten too many sweets, as expected ……. If you’re hungry, eat your food properly.”?
?
“Mmm …… can’t argue with that.”?
?
Despite what she was saying, Azusa was chomping down on a small piece of surume. She looked like a small animal nibbling on a nut.?
?
–And, watching the series of exchanges as a brother and sister like that, Shiho suddenly squeezed my hand.?
?
Her cheeks were swollen like a balloon.?
?
“No cheating!”?
?
“…… This is out too?”?
?
We just went shopping and the conversation was normal for siblings, but in Shiho’s perception, it was classified as cheating.?
?
“I mean, I wonder if Azusa-nyan is trying to show me how much of a sister she is by pretending to have the privilege of being a little sister to poke and prod Onii-chan ……. Wow, I could make Kotaro-kun lick my feet if I wanted too!”?
?
“Why are you competing with me? Onii-chan, she’s kind of competing with Azusa!?”?
?
“Look! There, there, there, there! I’ll turn to you again in a minute! That’s not fair……. Well, I can’t lose. Decided, Kotaro-kun? I’m your sister today, too. I’m going to show Azusa-nyan how different we are.”?
?
“Why!? Hey, why is she making an enemy of Azusa!? Onii-chan doesn’t belong to Azusa, nor is he exclusive to her.”?
?
….. Sorry, Azusa. ?
?
Shiho is just a bit, affectionate, so yeah…… probably sees Azusa as a rival.?
?
Well, as you can imagine, even I didn’t expect her to compete with my real sister for sisterhood.?
?
Sorry, but you’re going to have to hang out with me for a bit.?
?
I’m sure Shiho will be satisfied with a little bit of sisterly fun–
