Chapter 21: - June 16 (Tuesday): Morning Train

The next morning.

When I was on the train, Yuika spoke to me as usual.

“Good morning, Onii-San.”

“Yo, Yuika.”

I was on the lookout for Kaedezaka, the big-breasted psychopath I met yesterday, but she didn’t seem to be around.

It was not like she was going to be following me all year round.

“Huh? What’s worrying you again?”

“Oh, …, Ah, … How did you know?”

“Yes. I recognized you right away because your pungent face turned into a scowl.”

“Yuika-san. Do you know the word “kindness”?”

But this is a good opportunity, isn’t it?

If I talk to Yuika about Kaedezaka, I might be able to solve the problem easily.

Because apparently Kaedezaka was doing it for Yuika’s sake.

… No. No, no, no, no.

I should not do that.

In my experience, girls like Kaedezaka were very good at manipulating the people around them.

If I mess with them half-heartedly, I would end up looking like the bad guy.

For now, I think it was best to wait and see what she would do.

For now, let’s talk about something bland.

“The training period for junior staff ends in June. I was wondering how much more I could do in the next half month.”

“What? I’m going to bring her home in half a month. Isn’t that a little early for you?”

“Wait a minute.”

“Where are we gonna wait?”

“No, that’s not it. Why are you naturally talking about me taking my junior into my home?”

“Because you’re always saying you want to have sex with your junior.”

“I don’t remember saying a word.”

Yes, you did. You did say that.

Not only Kaedezaka, but also Yuika had this kind of personality.

I had forgiven her because she helped me a lot, but Yuika was also a high school girl and I couldn’t let my guard down.

And because she spoke so casually, it seemed to others that she was telling the truth.

I tried to argue with her, but Yuika switched the subject before I could.

‘So …, You want your junior to play an active role in the next half a month?”

“You knew … and you were just messing with me.”

“I’m a girl who knows what she’s talking about.”

“If you know what you’re doing, you might want to stop teasing me a little … more.”

“That’s boring, so I reject it.”

For a while after that, I was chatting with Yuika.

She didn’t like it, but one of the great things about her communicative power was that she could get the other person to talk.

Even if I didn’t intend to talk about something in particular, just being with Yuika made me talkative.

I didn’t like the fact that she always looked down on me. …

That was when something happened.

My phone vibrated with  an incoming call.

“What is it?”

I was sure I had already sent a message on LINE to Otozui earlier.

It was unlikely that my family would contact me at this hour.

Could it be an urgent business call?

But the message that had arrived was from Kaedezaka, the big-breasted psychopathic woman.

…. Ugh. Seriously?

I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

But if I ignore it, I’m afraid of the consequences.

Let’s just open it.

When I reluctantly opened the message, I found a ridiculous image attached to it.

It was a picture of a Kaedezaka with her shirt unbuttoned, showing a close-up of her cleavage.

“Hee!”

I couldn’t help but scream, and Yuika tilted her head.

“What’s going on?”

“No…, no …, n-nothing serious …”

“Something happened.”

I received a message on my phone.

–‘This is Kaedezaka. I sent you a picture of me for Sasamiya-san. I hope you’ll use it as your wallpaper.’

You’re an idiot, woman!

What would you do if someone else saw this picture?

There was more to the message.

–‘By the way, Sasamiya-san’s life might be over if other people find out about the picture I just showed you. I’m really, really looking forward to it and worried about it. ♡♡♡♡’

That Kaedezaka person sent me a picture just as I was talking to Yuika.

I was angry at Kaedezaka for harassing me yesterday, but I couldn’t do anything about it now.

I didn’t know it was happening, but I saw Yuika stretching up to take a peek at my phone.

Of course, I hurriedly hid it from her because I didn’t want her to see it.

“Hey, what’s the deal?”

“L-Let’s see. Yes, this is it.”

“Which one?”

“I think my friend … also wanted to show me her … peaches.”

I couldn’t find the words right away, so I compared her cleavage to a peach.

I have the worst sense of humor.

However, Yuika pointed out.

“It’s not in season yet in June, is it?”

“Yeah, …, It’s an early ripening variety.”

“I see. So it’s time to eat.”

After saying that much, I held my head in my hands, wondering what I was allowing a high school girl to say.

“… I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Next time, Otonzui is in trouble! That’s when Sasamiya arrives!
