Chapter 65 Greetings from the Sister

Greetings from the Sister

“Welcome back, Nii-san.”

“I’m home, Yoka.”

When I opened the front door, Yoka was there again today.

“Did you come home with the student council president and Shinomiya-san today?”

“Yes.”

“I see. Is it fun? With the student council president and Shinomiya-san.”

“I think it’s fun.”

“I see. That’s good.”

Saying that, Yoka smiles. However, her smile looks a little different from the smiles of Aoi-senpai and Shinomiya-san.

Maybe my eyes are mistaken, but I’m not sure.

Suddenly, I remembered the question Shinomiya-san asked me at lunch.

(Has anything happened to your sister Yoka-san recently?)

What was the meaning of that question?

There’s nothing strange about my sister Yoka. Yoka just says (welcome back) like this, although I don’t know why.

Nothing special…

I take off my shoes, enter the house, and go to the bathroom to wash my hands.

“Nii-san, can I ask you something?”

“…? Yes?”

Did she just say she wanted to ask me something, that Yoka?

I wonder if there is something that even the genius Yoka doesn’t understand.

I wipe my hands after washing and look at Yoka.

“What kind of people are the student council president and Shinomiya Saya?”

“Aoi-senpai and Shinomiya-san?”

Yoka asked me such a question.

What kind of people are Aoi-senpai and Shinomiya-san?

I had never thought about that before.

“I think they are both strong and kind people.”

Aoi-senpai was the one who told me she was my friend and helped me when there were strange rumors about me. I’m sure that she is a kind person. She must’ve gone through many incidents, but she always looked forward to the future.

Shinomiya-san is the same kind of person who calls me her friend, and she looks forward without turning away from her past where she was bullied.

I thought about it again, and even though they both say that they are my friends, I feel that it would be better if I were not with them.

I feel it’s just a waste of time if they were with me. Because I’m an unworthy person.

“Well, thank you for answering my question. They are both wonderful people.”

“I agree.”

After I finished answering the questions, I left the bathroom, went upstairs, and arrived in front of my room.

“May I finish?”

“Yes?”

“What kind of people are those two to Nii-san?”

Are they both to me?

“Friends, I think.”

They say that about me, to such a failure. So I thought I should return the favor.

Even though I don’t know what a friend is, and I don’t think I ever will.

“I see, thank you.”

Yoka left after hearing my words and went back to her room.

I watched her for some reason and then opened the door to my room…

Shinomiya’s POV

[So, what did you want to talk about?]

“No, it’s something I don’t even know if it’s that important, but just in case.”

I decided to use Aoi-senpai’s time to tell her about something that has been bothering me lately.

I may be thinking too much, but…

“It’s about Shuu-senpai’s sister, Yoka-san.”

[Yes?]

“Lately, I feel like I’m being talked to more and more by that girl.”

[I see.]

It’s not like anything else has happened.

We just exchanged casual greetings like good morning and goodbye, but this has never happened before.

[It’s not like she did anything to you or anything, right?]

“Yes. She didn’t do anything to me and we just talked a little.”

[…Let’s wait and see. She didn’t do anything to us, and she helped us with that incident. But be a little careful.]

“Understood.”

I hope nothing happens…
