Chapter 52: "So That's The Case, Huh?" I Ended Up Realizing It
"Tadah! Wonder how about, Nii-san?"
"Cute, the best, I love iiiiiit!"
"Kyaa"
In front of me, Chisome in her uniform rotatedly spun around, and I honestly shouted my thoughts at such her and jumped at her.
It's already July, and both Chisome and I have finished changing our clothes for the summer season.
Well, even if I said I've finished changing clothes for the summer season, it's just a matter of switching to a cutter shirt, so there's not that much of a change, but......Chisome is cute no matter what! I snuggled and rubbed my own cheek against Chisome's cheek.
"Gee, it's ticklish, Nii-san"
"If you don't like it, I'll quit it. But you don't seem to mind it, so I won't."
"There's no way I wouldn't like it right. Nii-san, you know me well don't you!"
"I'm your big brother you know? your lover you know. So of course I would know you."
"UnUn"
Even though we had to go to school after this, we were flirting at home until the last minute.
"You both, you flirt too much. We're going to be late."
Faced with an exasperated look from Mashiro, we both left the house with a wry smile.
Now then now then, in this way, when it comes to July, it means the summer vacation is coming soon, going by that, as for the current event, it is the term-end exam.
"Chisome is......well, there's no need to worry about the exam, I guess."
"I suppose so. But, I do intend to study properly you know?"
"Well yeah of course."
In the case of Chisome, she is the type of person who can do it even without studying, so I really envy her.
It's not that I can't do it at all, but I'm the type that won't get good points unless I study with utmost effort when the test is approaching that's why.
"Extreme story, we can live even without working after graduation right, aren't we."
"......Ah~, well I guess yeah."
We have a huge amount of money that continues to remain, so we really perfectly have no worries about the future.
Of course, I probably wouldn't take the option of not working just because of that, I think......wait, I've been wondering about something lately right.
"Naa, Chisome, it's about the story of the money that we have; it came from Chisome's mother but."
"Un......Ah, could it be about that?"
"I think so alright."
What gets me to wonder was that the huge amount of money that was left had not decreased at all as it is.
Although the money is used for living expenses, things that are necessary for each other, and hobbies, the money is always transferred again up to a certain amount about a month.
"Even though she should've said I wouldnt get involved with Nii-san, that person......"
"Well, things like there should be no complaints is certain. I refuted to what various things she had said regarding Chisome, but......we are really being helped you know."
"..............."
She hurt Chisome, abandoned her, and spoke ill of her as a monster......But, that smile she showed at the end alone is, and also the look she had like a mother caring for her daughter, things I could see.
Although in my case, my shitty old man has already ended up dying, for argument's sake, even if he were still alive, I knew it would be absolutely impossible to restore our relationship.
(Chisome and that person can't completely be said to have no possibility...... Even if they can't completely go back to being parent and child, if only there was an opportunity for them to talk even just once.)
I won't tell Chisome about this.
That's all up to her to decide, and I don't mind even if she doesn't say anything in relation to her mother as it is......However, when that time comes, I intend to do my utmost to support Chisome.
"......Well, if there is an opportunity, I might want to talk to. 'Cause I'll go say it from my mouth that I am now, the happiest alright." (Chisome)
"......I see"
"Chisome, admirable"
"There there," Mashiro stroked Chisome's head.
Mashiro has been watching over Chisome more than I have anyway, so the now-Chisome's changes and growth are really moving right.
"You don't need to do so far as to stroke my head I say Mashiro"
"Are you shy?"
Well of course I'll be shy you!
"......Onii-sama, Chisome is cute."
"Isn't it too late for that. Chisome is all the time......aah no, Even Mashiro is cute, so see"
"g-, gee, even Nii-san......-"
"......Ehehe" (Mashiro)
Or rather, it is that, even though it's summer, this exchange gone makes it even hotter.
After that, we headed to school as usual, but despite going at the last minute, we had all-right time to spare.
A little after, when we both passed through the school gate, Chisome tapped me on the shoulder.
"Un?"
"That, look look"
"e?"
What was ahead Chisome moderately pointed her finger at, there was a boy there.
"That, is a boy in the same class as me."
"Fu~n?"
"The boy who tried to confess to me"
"..............."
Yes, indeed, my mood has suddenly dropped.
However...... Chisome's behavior wasn't intended to make me feel uneasy or uncomfortable, that alone I understand.
(......She's taking it as funny?)
As I tilted my head, she brought her face close to my ear and continued with these words.
"When we went to the movies, see, Nii-san did remember when I took you to the back alley, right?"
"Yeah"
"At that time, that guy......was looking at us."
"......Eh, no way"
In other words, he was watching our intense exchanges at that time...... Moreover, it's about him who had feelings for Chisome.
"I you see, at first, thought don't go use those ogling eyes on my girlfriend."
"Un"
"But you know...... I felt a little refreshed anyway and had a sense of superiority. I'm a nasty guy aren't I, me."
"That's not true. I noticed and led and put on a show; I am the many times more nasty guy, a nasty woman, you know"
"You're not a nasty woman I say. Because I don't know a girl more attractive than Chisome see."
"Then Nii-san is also not a nasty person. I don't know anyone more attractive than Nii-san after all."
If we were at our home, I wouldn't be able to leave alright, seriously.
"Don't leave me out," Mashiro hugged my back, and even after I parted with Chisome, Mashiro was clinging to my back the whole time as is.
"Yareyare (Good grief), this is troubling yeah."
"Onii-sama and Chisome are the bad ones. I will also flirt."
What she means is about what's above.
Shinji and Kouki hadn't arrived yet....... "Those guys are not going to be late, right?" When I was thinking things like that, Misora approached me.
Good morning, Taiga-san......? aah so that's how it is I see."
Maybe Misora has noticed something and approached me.
"Good morning to you too, Mashiro-san"
"......e?"
"Morning Misora"
Misora-san......?
Mashiro returned the greeting normally, but after looking at the other classmates, it should not mean that Mashiro had materialized by mistake...... so even Misora shouldn't be able to see her.
"You can't see her, right?"
"I can't see her. But, I know Mashiro-san is there."
"..............."
Come to think of it again, Chisome did say that, huh.
Misora doesn't particularly have a strong ability to sense the supernatural or something; she doesn't have anything like that, but it seems somehow she's cultivated the sensitiveness to perceive Mashiro's unusual power.
"Well probably, I think it's because she's not just any person, you know? Misora-senpai, who is a friend of Nii-san's and also a friend of mine, I know saying this about her is that, but......that person is strange after all."
In conclusion, Misora was strange, and of everything, I was convinced.
"Well, just like Misora said, Mashiro is by my side now."
"Just as I thought! Fufuu, I wonder if she's clinging to Taiga-san...... that will surely be a cute and soothing sight isn't it"
"......after all, an amusing woman" (Mashiro)
That's right, isn't it; By now, it seems easier to take this as entertaining instead.
"Mo-rning Taiga and Misora! And..... Mashiro-chan is here too this is"
"Oh~"
"......You girls are getting closer and closer to becoming nonhuman life, aren't you?"
It seems that Yuika, who came to play from the next class, also noticed Mashiro's existence.
After that, Mashiro's words were told in the form that I conveyed, and the four of us enjoyed ourselves until the morning assembly began.
Even though Mashiro's appearance couldn't be seen halfway through, she sat on Misora's lap and relaxed, and Misora hugged the transparent Mashiro's state like that while grinning.
I cant see Mashiro-chan either, but this is an amazing sight isn't it, this is.
"Right......Well but, she's being lovestruck at an angle that other people can't see is as expected of her alright."
Then, Yuika brought her face close to my ear.
"Nee, Taiga, I have a little thought regarding the third year Akane."
"......Lets listen"
Akane, it's unmistakably that person who will become an older yandere heroine right.
"In the original work, Souma and Akane don't date right away. But they met quite quickly, and properly speaking, from the current stage, they should have deepened their relationship, isn't it."
"You're right"
"Un. And then you know? It didn't really show up in the main story, but if I remember rightly, this stage Akane should be suffering damage from an encounter with a stalker. But her blasted big feelings for Souma are too strong, so on the contrary she repels the stalker though......"
......No way, is that what you mean by her recent dark face?
"Probably"
Apparently, Souma's absence of involvement has ended up creating an Akane who is unable to overcome the wall that should be overcome.
