Chapter 27

Yuzu Senpai’s POV

“Hey Mi-kun, something super amazing happened today……”

“EH! IS THAT SO! I WANNA HEAR, I WANNA HEAR!”

“Ehehe, I had committee duty so club was off, but Kakeru-kun came to hang out with me!”

“THAT KAKERU-KUN!?”

“Yeah, and you know what. We stuck close together and talked, and he… he petted my head.”¹

“P-PET!?”

“Y-Yeah… with big, gentle hands, he went pat-pat on my head the whole time…”

“WHOA, THAT’S SUPER LEWD!”

“And then, and then! He told me I was cute over and over again….”

“HEY HEY, DO YOU MIND HOLDING ON A SEC!”

“Wh-What is it…? Mi-kun?”

“How long am I supposed to hold Mi-kun while talking, onee-san?!”

“W-Well, because it’s super embarrassing to say it straight to Lemon…”

“I’m embarrassed too!”

Lemon placed the green sea turtle plushie, Mi-kun, right beside her bed.

I was currently reporting everything that happened today to my younger sister, Lemon.

Honestly, I just wanted to quietly reminisce and enjoy the feeling all by myself, but…

“I’m hoooome…”

“Onee-chaaaan! Onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chan, onee-chaaaaaaaan!!”

“Wuaaaaaaaaaaaah!?”

The moment I got home, Lemon ambushed me, which led to where we were now.

Since it was too embarrassing to speak normally, I had Lemon pretend to be Mi-kun.

“I totally get that onee-san was doing lewd things alone with Kakeru-kun in the library…”

“Wait.”

“And because you couldn’t be satisfied since a teacher suddenly showed up, you went to the usual literature club room…”

“Hold on.”

“And you had a round two and pillow talk over there, right…?”

“I said wait!”

My little sister wasn’t listening to me at all.

With her arms crossed over her chest, she looked like she was deep in thought, going “hmm.”

Just that alone made Lemon’s chest stand out even more… so unfair.

“…Hasn’t your lewdness level gone up?”

“What is that lewdness level!?”

I wish she wouldn’t assign weird levels to things.

“I-It’s mostly because Lemon said those crazy things yesterday…”

“But you’re the one who actually did it, right onee-san?”

Stop using cold, hard logic on me.

“Whatever’s fine. The person you like told you you’re cute, right?”

“Y-Yeah… ehehehe.”

That felt so nice, though.

It was fluffy, warm, and felt like it was going to become a habit.

“I’d like you to save your delusions for after I leave the room.”

“I-I’m not having delusions!?”

The idea of Kakeru-kun petting my head every single day when we meet—no way…!

“Anyway, there’s something I want to tell you, onee-san.”

“Eh, what?”

“…You’re relying on him too much!!”

“L-Lemon!?”

Lemon got mad.

“Onee-san, you’re relying way too much on Kakeru-kun’s kindness and your current position! There’s no one else out there who cares about you as much as he does! You need to push, push, push, and push him down yourself!!”

“I-Isn’t pushing him down going way too far!?”

“Sitting on his lap and getting your head petted when you’re not even dating skips way too many steps!”

“W-Well, that’s…”

Is that… right?

“So, using this weekend, I’ve come up with a strategy!”

“Eh, a d-date!?”

“You haven’t even asked for his contact info yet, onee-san.”

I-I forgot…!

“What we’re going to do is called the Makeover Matching-Outfit Present Grand Operation!!”

“O-Oooh…!”

Th-That sounds intense…!

“All right, let’s surprise Kakeru-kun next week!”

“O-Oh!”

Wh-What are we going to do?

Still, if this makes Kakeru-kun happy… wait?

…Kakeru-kun, was?

“…Hey Lemon.”

“What is it, onee-san?”

“…Earlier, you talked about Kakeru-kun being such a great guy. Didn’t you sound like you already knew him?”

“…Ah.”

What do you mean, “ah”?

“…See ya tomorrow, onee-san!”

She ran away!

“Did you meet him!? Hey! Hold on!”

“That was just an accident—”

“Lemooooooon!!”

Our all-out sisterly game of tag continued until Mom came home and yelled at us.
