I Was Supposed to Be Giving Love Advice on the School Radio, but Before I Knew It, the Beautiful Girls at School Were Hitting on Me
And we were safely on summer vacation…….
The closing ceremony was over quickly, and we were thrown out into the scorching hot outside world with a lot of homework.
Once outside, we were enveloped by the heat, and even if we ate ice cream, our bodies would not cool down. However, making the most of their youthful advantage, the high school students are enjoying their precious consecutive holidays in high spirits…… But,
“Baah…..so cold…….”
Well, that’s just what people with a lot of friends say, but for me, whose only hobby is listening to radio at school, even though it was summer vacation, today, like every other day, there was nothing to do but lounge around in an air-conditioned room.
“Hey Onii chan, don’t say things that will bring down the mood during summer vacation.”
“So what Tomori, I know you’re actually bored.”
The door opened and a girl appeared, drying her hair with a towel. She looked my way and muttered a dissatisfied tone.
This girl, who is completely wet even though it’s still just before noon, is Kageyama Tomori, my younger sister, who is currently in her third year of junior high school.
Her hair, which is usually swept back in a ponytail, is hanging loose after a shower, and a towel is draped around her neck.
“I thought you were glued to your phone until the other day, have you had enough?”
“I’m not bored…”
The official Twitter account that my teacher gave me did indeed have a lot of questions at first, and while I was seriously thinking about it, I was also replying to them in a fun way, with the same feeling I had when preparing for a radio show.
But……
“If you weren’t bored, what was it? You’ve got lots of questions, haven’t you?”
“To put it simply, the demand outstripped the supply……”
However, the excitement was only at the beginning of summer vacation, everyone was actually going on dates, and even though it was only a week into summer vacation, our club’s first social media was already showing signs of stalling.
“I think that usually the supply and demand positions are the opposite…”
“It’s a valuable supply for me.”
For me, letters are a part of life, and I’m the one suffering from a dwindling supply.
“Haa, same as always, Onii chan.”
Tomori sighed that her brother was in his room all day even though it was summer vacation, and she opened the bottom drawer of the refrigerator.
“It’s almost lunch, are you sure you want to eat ice cream?”
“I’m tired after morning practice, I’m gonna collapse if I don’t get my sugar intake.”
Tomori, now in the third year of junior high school, was obsessed with tennis, and today, as usual, she and our parents, who both work, went out early for morning practice.
Me? Well I’m….no comment. By the way, let’s just say that Touyama chan’s talk show was great.
“Oh, there are still red bean bars left, lucky me.”
”You’re the only one who eats them, so there must be some left.”
Tomori rummaged around in the fridge and pulled out her favorite dull red bean ice cream in a single package. She left the fridge open and glanced back at me.
“Do you want some, Onii chan?”
“I told you it’s almost lunch.”
“Onii chan’s gonna make it anyway, so why don’t you just adjust the time? “
“Listen…….”
I understand that he is tired from morning practice, but what kind of a thing to say to the person who is cooking for her. However, the person in question doesn’t seem to mind at all and continues to hunt for ice cream.
“So, what do you want, Onii chan? The one with strawberries and milk?”
“No, I want something refreshing, like a soda bar.”
“What the heck～ So you do want some.”
Tomori brought me two ice cream bars with a strange laugh. After handing the soda bar to me, she sat down on the sofa that I wasn’t sitting on, of the two sofas that were arranged in an L shape.
“Let’s dig in !”
I watched as she vigorously opened the ice cream, and I took a bite of the soda bar in front of me.
“So cold……”
I tried to bite into it without thinking, but the coldness of the soda felt directly against my teeth and I reflexively pulled my mouth away.
“What are you doing, Onii chan? Being sensitive at your age is no laughing matter.”
“You’re laughing really hard aren’t you?”
”If that’s the case, why don’t you borrow some of Dad’s toothpaste?”
“That’s for gum disease prevention.”
“I knew you were concerned about it～”
My little sister was laughing out loud with an ice cream in her hand. The ice cream bar she was holding, which boasts the hardest quality in Japan, had been neatly bitten off about a quarter of it.
“….Are you and I really siblings?”
“What’s the matter, Onii chan, is it so hot that you can’t tell the difference between cartoons and reality?”
Her words were as harsh as ever. We really aren’t alike after all. I thought to myself as I watched my sister lazily lie down and boldly hog the sofa.
“So, what are you gonna do this afternoon?”
“Hm～? I don’t have any plans and it’s hot outside, so I think I’ll just lounge around at home and do my homework.”
“I see.”
After a short pause, Tomori looked back at me with a startled expression.
“Um, what, Onii chan, are you taking me out somewhere?”
“I don’t want to, it’s too hot outside.“
”Well, at least take me to the public pool, it’s just around the corner.”
Tomori was kicking her legs while munching on the red bean bar.
“You never know what kind of people are in places like that, and it would be a problem if my cute little sister got hit on.”
I thought it was just a trivial remark, but there was no reply from my sister. I looked at her while biting into my ice cream, and she was looking at me with a stunned expression.
“What?“
”No……I didn’t expect such words from Onii chan……“
“What do you think I am? Is it wrong to worry about you?”
”Woah, you siscon.”
”Shut it.”
My sister stood up from the sofa, slapped me on the shoulder, and then sat down next to me.
“Hey, don’t stick to me. It’ll just make it even hotter.”
“I ate some ice cream so I’m a little cold, so it’s fine.”
This guy…she looked down on me just because I don’t like cold things… Wanting to cool my body even a little, I took a bite of the popsicle.
Seeing me like that, Tomori sighed, but with some satisfaction.
“You’re such a hopeless brother, you don’t even have any close female friends, so you can only show affection to your little sister.”
“Oi, show some respect to your brother.”
“Eh, do you have plans to meet up with a girl?”
There was no teasing in he expression, only a look of genuine curiosity.
“Don’t make your own assumptions, I have plans to meet up with girls too.”
“Part-time job?”
“That depends on how you look at it. “
“So it is a part-time job.”
My sister sighed in exasperation. Don’t belittle such a respectable social activity.
“What about you, what are you going to do during summer vacation?”
“Hmm? Well, I have plans, you know. I have tennis club practice, and the student council is planning a study camp.”
“The test-taker seems to be busy.”
“Unlike Onii chan I’m a serious person.”
“Hmph,” my sister said proudly. It seemed that the vice-president of the student council’s motto was still “excellence in both academics and sports.”
“Well, there’s nothing going on today, so you can put me and your date on your blank summer vacation schedule.”
“You’re talking about that again……”
She uses her smartphone to show me her calendar. Unlike my surprisingly blank calendar, this one was filled with events. And it didn’t seem like she was playing around.
“……I’ll think about it after we eat lunch.”
”Oh, it feels better than before.”
When I think about how hard my sister works every day, I feel bad for her if I don’t give her a little reward.
That’s what I thought, but if I told her directly,s he would definitely get carried away, so I decided not to say anything.
“Well, let’s have lunch quickly ! I’m getting hungry after eating ice cream.”
”What’s with you……”
Even though you told me to adjust it a lot earlier…
But, despite my complaints, I honestly felt the same way. With a bang, I stood up from the sofa that was holding me close and wouldn’t let go.
“So, what do you want? I can only make something random.“
”Well, then, ajillo !”
“Rejected. “
“Then cheese fondue. “
”Why do I have to eat something so hot in the middle of summer……”
I look into the fridge with the incomprehensible request on my back.
“We have some leftover rice from yesterday, is fried rice okay?”
“Eh, I’d like to eat something cooler since it’s summer. “
“Did I mishear you earlier when you said ‘ajillo’…..?”
Hot and cold dishes are served alternately, and it seems like she’ll be satisfied. I completely ignore it and just take out cold rice, eggs, and sausages.
But just as I was about to crack the eggs and stir them, the door bell rang.
My sister, still sitting on the sofa, stretches her neck.
“Hey, does it look like someone’s here?”
“Maybe Mom ordered a delivery, could you take a look?”
“Okay.”
With light steps, she ran out the front door. Then I went to microwave the rice and cut the sausages…
“O-Onii chan, Onii chan, Onii chan !”
Just as I was thinking that, my sister came barreling into me like a bullet while I was cooking.
I grabbed the chopsticks I was stirring the eggs with so I wouldn’t drop them.
“What? It’s dangerous when you—–“
“That doesn’t matter ! Who’s that beauty?”
“Huh? Beauty?”
“Just come to the door ! She’s waiting for you !”
My sister, who didn’t quite get the point, dragged me to the front door.
I passed through the door and stepped into the hallway. Then, I saw an unfamiliar shadow in the hallway…
“I-it’s been a while, Kageyama kun…”
My seat neighbor, Kitahara Yuzuha, was standing there, hiding her mouth with a wooden box.
