Yuzu Senpai’s POV

“Is onee-san only able to get aroused by niche fetishes or something?”

“Isn’t your treatment of me a bit too harsh lately?”

Night.

I had only come to Lemon’s room to talk about what happened today, but her opening line was brutal.

“Because what onee-san did was basically a passive-rejection-confession ASMR, right?”

“Sorry, please speak to me in a language I actually understand.”

“You’re doing super lewd things.”

“You just think I’ll give up if you call it lewd!?”

Even I have learned a thing or two.

I’m not going to let my little sister hog the spotlight forever.

“Sitting on your junior’s lap after school, making him read your favorite book right by your ear while overlapping your hands from above so he can’t escape, reenacting a confession scene while secretly tweaking the lines, and taking the chance to say ‘I love you’—that’s seriously lewd.”

“You don’t have to explain the whole thing!”

Don’t say it all in one breath!

How did you not bite your tongue anyway!?

“Still, it’s a miracle you didn’t get pinned down, onee-san. If I were Kakeru-kun, I would’ve pounced on you already.”

“P-P-Pounced on me!? F-First of all, Kakeru-kun isn’t that kind of person… and I don’t have that kind of ch-charm…”

“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah…”

“Is there really a sigh that blatant!?”

Stop making that dumbfounded face you can’t show in public!

I even dyed my hair and everything to look cute!

“Boy, he’s got his work cut out for him…”

“W-Well, that’s true, but…”

“No, I don’t mean onee-san, I mean Kakeru-kun.”

“Why!?”

Why are you taking Kakeru-kun’s side here…?

“Then let me ask you, what kind of charm are you talking about, onee-san?”

“W-Well, that’s… in this book…”

“Nagi-chan senpai, right?”

“Wh-Why do you know that!?”

“How many times do you think you made me read it after recommending it? You went back to normal recently, but for a while, even your way of speaking was leaning toward Nagi-chan senpai’s.”

Stop it!

Don’t calmly dig up stuff like that later on!!

“It’s fine, though. Onee-san just as you are is super charming.”

“L-Lemon… D-Do you have specifics?”

“First off, you’re cute.”

“Even Lemon is on that side!?”

“Stop casually flirting, will you?”

“I am not!”

What part of that was flirting!

“Eeeh? Oh, by the way, onee-san, what happened to that thing?”

“…That thing?”

“The thing about having zero dignity as a senpai.”

“Eh?”

“Eh?”

Ah, ah, aaah…

“Onee-san… don’t tell me you forgot—”

“Tomorrow! Tomorrow for sure! I’ll actually do it!!”

“Hm-mph.”

“That face completely says you don’t believe me!”

“So what’s the concrete plan?”

“U-Um, well… how about not sitting on Kakeru-kun?”

“Just coming up with that option means you’re already deeply infected with lewdness, onee-san.”

“What does infected with lewdness mean!?”

D-Damn it… I feel like not only my dignity as a senpai, but my dignity as an older sister is slipping away too.

Tomorrow for sure, tomorrow for sure… What kind of face am I supposed to make when I see Kakeru-kun tomorrow…?

He hasn’t looked up the details of Tomorrow, Fall in Love on the Rooftop!!, has he…?


Tomorrow, Fall in Love on the Rooftop!!

Bathed in the twilight, the figures of Koichi Shindo and Nagi Hiiragi stood upon the rooftop.

The two of them rested their hands on the wire mesh, silently looking down at the school grounds.

This was a secret place for just the two of them, a world belonging only to them. A special, quiet solitude shared by just the two of them.

The rooftop.

Today, right here, Koichi would confess his feelings to Nagi.

‘…Senpai, you smell really nice.’

‘…Right?’

A quietly blowing breeze gently swayed Nagi’s long hair.

To Koichi, that everyday sight looked profoundly mystical and beautiful.

She had always been like that.

No matter what anyone said or did, she let everything roll off her like the wind.

Koichi had fallen for that side of her before he even realized it.

Or perhaps, right from the very beginning.

Unchanging, yet continuing to swell up inside him, these feelings—now.

Koichi was going to fling them at the person he loved in this special place called the rooftop.

‘…I’m in love with you, senpai. Please go out with me.’

‘Fufu, so you’ve fallen for me… Is that so, is that so?’

That confession met with no more resistance than if it had been tossed into the wind.

Yet even that small smile was more than enough to tighten Koichi’s chest.

‘…Tomorrow.’

‘Eh?’

‘Tomorrow, let’s meet on this rooftop again. Is it alright if I give you my answer then?’

‘Y-Yes! I look forward to it!’

A deferred conclusion.

Even so, it was something immensely joyous for Koichi.

The senpai he admired had properly received his words and would give him her answer tomorrow.

Floating on cloud nine from just that, Koichi bowed deeply and left the rooftop.

‘…Is this the seven hundred and eighty-fourth time?’

Nagi muttered, left behind on the rooftop.

A strong wind blew, swaying her long hair even further.

‘…I’ll be waiting, forever.’

By the time the wind subsided, Nagi’s figure was no longer there.

And without a tomorrow ever visiting the two of them,

An endless story would begin anew once again.
