I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
At the beauty contest at the school festival, I was pursued about the rumor that I had nearly illed my father.
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes directed at me as I stood on stage….
In the gymnasium, where the lights were dimmed except for the stage, I could clearly recognize only the curious eyes of the audience.
Various emotions were directed at me.
Most of them are terrifying…… I was so overwhelmed that not only my throat but also my whole body shriveled up.
“……”
A man I don’t know is saying something to me. I could understand that it was something not good, but I couldn’t argue with anything.
My lips were trembling and I felt like I was about to collapse from my knees…… I could barely stand, but the pursuit never stopped.
“Y-you got it all wrong yo-!”
I was about to lose my mind when I heard Senpai’s trembling voice.
I had no one on my side. I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear her voice at a time like that…… I’m not very good at expressing myself, so I’m sure I can’t express how happy I am in words.
◇ ◇ ◇
The festival was over, and I went home for the first time in a long time.
The rift between me and Yuika disappeared, and I no longer needed to keep my distance from her. I was going to move out of my apartment soon, and it was all I could do to hold back the tears of happiness.
My mom made me a feast and I talked a lot with Yuika for the first time in a long time.
“Big bro racoon was so cool !”
Yuika was so excited that all she could talk about was Yazawa senpai.
“Yeah. He was really cool…..”
Just remembering that time makes my heart pound…….
If it weren’t for Yazawa senpai, I would have been traumatized again.
I would have been unable to go to school. I was so scared that even looking back on it, I think so.
Yazawa senpai turned that situation upside down.
Without Yazawa senpai’s courage, I don’t think even Yuika would have been able to speak up.
I understand because I’m not good at public speaking either. I know how much courage Yazawa senpai had to muster.
“Hey, hey, Onee chan. What is that big bro raccoon’s name?”
“Eh? It’s Yazawa senpai.”
“Not his last name, but his first name. I wanna know his full name because he is the one who helped you.”
Yuika leans forward, breathing heavily.
I don’t remember Yuika being such a pushover.
Maybe it’s because she’s still small and growing up fast. Thinking about this, I opened my mouth.
“Yazawa Hiro……senpai.”
“Hiro…… Yeah, Hiro san…. What a cool name♪”
Hm……?
Yuika looks like a maiden in love?
“…….”
No, this is not ‘looks like’.
Yuika has fallen in love. To Yazawa senpai, of all people !
“U-um……Yuika?”
“What’s wrong, Onee chan?”
“Um…..”
What should I say to her at a time like this !?
How can I, a person who normally doesn’t talk, convince my sister, with whom I’ve had no contact for a long time?
“D-do you…..like Senpai?”
“Yeah ! I thought all the boys were stupid, but Hiro san was different. I…..I wanna be Hiro san’s wife someday !”
“Oh !?”
W-wife !?
Yuika, whose expression is shining, does not feel anything like a joke or a lie.
Although she had said “I love you” many times to her male teachers and stepfather, this was the first time I’d heard her clearly say “I want to be your wife.”
Yuika’s First Love…… I was surprised that I could not honestly congratulate her on that.
“A-are you sure?”
“Eh?”
Yuika, who had been excited all along, turned a puzzled face to me.
Y-Yazawa senpai is…much older than Yuika.”
“It’s okay. They said on TV that men like younger girls. And I’m cute, too.”
Young girl? I think you are mistaken….
“Well, and, you see, despite his appearance, senpai is popular……perhaps.”
“He’s cool, so it’s only natural. Don’t worry. I’ll make him fall in love with me with my cuteness. I’ll make him forget about other girls.”
Yuika winked confidently. So cute…
No ! If it carries on like this, there’s no telling what Yuika might do to Yazawa senpai. As her older sister, I’m the only one who can stop her…
“A-and also….erm…..”
“Do you happen to like Hiro san, Onee chan?”
“Mugu !?”
The sudden words of Yuika almost made me bite my tongue.
“Then just say so”
“Eh, no, that’s…..”
Yuika laughed out loud, leaving me at a loss for words.
However, Yuika quickly withdrew her smile and stuck out her small fist.
“In that case, you’re my rival.”
“……”
Yuika had no intention of backing down. She had the eyes of a fighting woman, which made it hard to believe she was a younger sister than her.
Yuika is more like…a girl that I have to protect, right?
I can sense the strength of will in Yuika’s eyes. No matter what I say, I get the feeling that her feelings won’t change.
“……”
Yazawa senpai…… He is guilty for making my sister, who was supposed to be innocent and pure, fall in love with him……
“So, Onee chan.”
“W-what?”
“If you wanna close the distance, I don’t think you should call him ‘Yazawa senpai’.”
“Wha !?”
Yuika gives me a meaningful smile.
I understand what my sister wants to say, and my face heats up with uncontrollable emotions.
“Let’s talk a lot today, Onee chan♪”
Even my hot head could tell that she was going to ask me a lot of questions about Yazawa senpai.
“Hiiro senpai……”
I mutter secretly, only in my mouth.
I feel relieved as I watch my sister teasing me. When was the last time I saw Yuika look like this?
For better or worse, the sisterly relationship between Yuika and me was easily repaired thanks to Hiro senpai.
