Chapter 212 Summer School (2)
After separating the quarreling siblings and calming Nitta-san down, we hopped on the train.
There was a good reason why Yuna-san came with us. Apparently, if you introduced the cram school to other people, theyd give you something depending on how many referrals you brought in. Youd have to accompany them to the school as a part of the procedure.
Ive always wondered how pretty you were since my sister wouldnt shut up about it, but now I understand what all the fuss was about You really are one hell of a pretty girl. Ive seen plenty of people with half foreign blood, but none of them have the same blond hair and blue eyes like you do I wanna take a selfie with you later, do you mind?~
Yuna, youre troubling her, stop it! Stop embarrassing me, please.
Hahaha Ninacchi, your sister is an interesting person
Id been observing the two siblings silently. It was funny to see Nitta-san, who normally talked without any filter, being cornered by her sister like this.
Well, there was also the possibility that Nitta-san was trying to maintain the balance of the conversation, since we would definitely be overwhelmed if she were to act like her normal self.
Nitta-san was really good at this. Shed always adjust her behavior depending on who she was talking to.
Sorry, Im older than everyone here, but I guess Ive been a bit too childish. Ive been stressed because Ive been doing nothing but studying since last month. This is the first time in a while I could talk freely with other people like this. I have friends I could talk to, but they are all moody because of their mock exams results, so yeah, I dont want to bother them.
Oh yeah, I heard that youre going to the municipal school outside the district, is that true, Yuna-senpai? Its the best school around, isnt it? Studying there sounds really tough
It isnt the best one, well that detail isnt important Anyway, yeah, its pretty tough. The school prioritizes academics, so its just study, study and study. The school events are bland and boring. Ive been thinking that I shouldve gone to Joutou High instead. I mean, with a kouhai as cute as you, I could die happily as a senpai~ The only downside of going there is that others would find out that this rascal is my little sister.
Thats my line, you disgrace of an older sister.
How exactly? You should be proud to have an outstanding older sister like me. Dont you think so too, Maehara-kun?
Dont bring me to this, please
Im not a good enough talker to know which side I should pick at times like these.
The easy answer would be taking Nitta-sans side since I was more familiar with her, but if I did it thoughtlessly, there was a possibility that it would ruin Umis mood.
In fact, she had been pinching my side for a while now. She didnt put much force into it, so it didnt hurt, but that could change at a moments notice if I let my guard down. Depending on her mood, she could tear my side apart.
What should I do? Someone, help me
Hehe, you dont need to be so defensive, Asanagi-chan. I wont take your precious boyfriend from you.
I-I know that Wait, you know that we are dating? Did Nina tell you about us?
Nope, it was an educated guess. You two are like an open book after all. Besides, Nina wouldnt tell me anything about her friends unless I asked her.
Of course I wouldnt! Im not a grade school kid!
Huh? Isnt talking about your friends a normal thing to do, Ninacchi? Ive always talked about everyone with my parents. The other day, I told them a lot about Nagisa-chan. You also did the same, right Umi? You talked about Maki-kun to your parents too, right?
Um, yeah, but unlike you, I wouldnt tell them every single thing I did with Maki. Also, why did you mention only Makis name in that question?
She wasnt lying about this.
Also, I was the same as Umi. I told my mom about the things I did with Umi, but I didnt tell her everything. We had our own secrets to keep as well.
Hm Three girls including my little sister. Maehara-kuns a bold one, isnt he? Monopolizing three cute girls by himself. Wouldnt the other boys be jealous of you?
Monopolizing is the wrong way to put it, but I guess from an outsiders perspective, thats how it looks, huh?
We had another boy in our group, but he was busy with his club activities, so most of the time, there were only four of us when we hung out. An outsider could easily come to that conclusion after seeing us.
The people at our school were used to seeing us like that, but the same thing couldnt be said for the people at the summer school. I guess I had to brace myself for the upcoming trouble.
Of course I wouldnt distance myself from Amami-san or Nitta-san just to avoid some trouble. They were my precious friends and compared to what other people thought, their feelings were way more important to me.
Besides, Im just trying to have fun with my girlfriend and my other friends. There was nothing wrong with what Im doing and no one had the right to say otherwise.
Could you not lump me inside Reps harem? Hes a good friend of mine, but he isnt my type. I like handsome, tall and rich guys, okay? Dont forget about that.
Huh, really? Youve become quieter lately, I thought you forgot about that nonsensical dream of yours. I thought for sure that the kind and quiet Maehara-kun influenced you in one way or another. I mean, youre always influenced by the boys you like. Even your hobbies and appearance were based on your exes tastes, right?
Ugh, why are you spilling everything?! I understand what youre trying to say, but our relationship isnt like that! Besides, we will never be a thing, you know? He isnt even tall, his face is just decent and he isnt athletic at all. Well, he can study and is kind enough to lend me his notes though I appreciate him for that
I knew that she was trying to hide her embarrassment, but I wish she would hold back a little.
Well, her words were true, but who cares. I mean, despite those bad points, there was someone who loved me with all her heart.
In any case, from now on, I should stop lending her my notes for a while as punishment. I was planning to let her off the hook, but after seeing Umi pouting because Nitta-san was s**t-talking me changed my mind.
