CH 79

Prologue [Third Act]

“……..Nn……..eh”

……I can hear a faint voice. A nostalgic voice that I haven’t heard for a while.

When I slowly open my eyes, it is already bright out, indicating to me that, like it or not, it’s already morning.

In that state where I wander between dreams and reality, I —

“—-Come on! Even if it’s summer vacation, you are sleeping too much! Wake up, Onii-chan!”

With a strong impact on my abdomen, I immediately woke up from my drowsy trance.

“Ugh…….! Cough cough……Misaki!? Why are you…….Ah, you came yesterday huh.”

“That’s right! Seriously, I went out of my way to make breakfast for you but Onii-chan just won’t wake up at all!”

“Th, that’s my bad but it was so hectic last night so it couldn’t be helped that I slept in right.”

That’s right, I was washing her clothes and underwear, as well as preparing a futon for Misaki when she suddenly showed up yesterday.

I thought that she ran away from home at first but when I called my parents, they said that she came to attend the open house at the high schools here.

I couldn’t understand why she just showed up without contacting me first so I asked my parents and it turned out that Misaki wanted to surprise me so they were told to keep it a secret.

Well, I was quite surprised so I guess her plan was a success.

“Anyway! We have to go buy my clothes today so just wake up okay!”

Speaking of which, I do smell something delicious. Thinking that I have to eat breakfast before it gets cold, I crawl out of my futon and change before I head to the living room.

The breakfast prepared on the table was an omelet, a cup of rice, and miso soup, one could say that it’s the standard breakfast menu.

First, I try taking a bite. They are all the things that I told her I wanted to eat when I went home last time. It’s been a while since I last ate Misaki’s food.

“Oh? Misaki, did you improve?”

“FuFuhn! I practiced a lot after Onii-chan went back you know!”

“Well, at this level, I guess you can pretty much show off your cooking skills huh.”

My chopsticks gradually get quicker and quicker and I empty dishes after dishes. Finally, I drank the miso soup and finished the meal.

“Thanks for the meal. It was delicious. Also…..well, I don’t mind going out to buy clothes with you but how long do you plan to stay here?”

“For the time being, I want to stay until Obon so that we can go together! Also, you pretended to ask such a cruel question like that……but you were actually desperate for more Imoutonium right? Uri Uri～！”

“No, you are the only one who always says Oniichanium right. At the very least, I don’t recall saying anything along that line okay?”

“Exactly! That’s why I will replenish mine right now! TORYAAA!”

With that warcry, Misaki suddenly performed a splendid Lupin dive. It would be dangerous if I dodge so I receive her.

“Oi, Oi, what would you do if I dodge that.”

“It’s okay! Onii-chan would never do that to me after all! We were so busy yesterday so I couldn’t sniff you at all but……..sniff, sniff. It’s been a long time since I last smell you, Onii-chan……..”

Misaki said with an ecstatic expression on her face.

“Come to think of it, Onii-chan, you still haven’t got yourself a girlfriend?”

“There’s no way anyone wo—-….no, I don’t have one yet.”

“Why did you rephrase that just now!? You were about to give your usual reply right!? Did someone confess to you!? Is it at school……no, that’s unlikely, was it Asuka-san!?”

Since Misaki is hugging me, she asked her question while bringing her face close to mine. I mean, how did she get all that just from one sentence.

Anyway, I avert my eyes from hers.

“Hey, answer me Onii-chan! If you don’t answer then I won’t let go you know! Since Asuka-san knows that Onii-chan is working as a model, it can only be her right!”

“UGuh. she did confess to me.”

“Really! So Onii-chan finally has a girlfriend! Asuka-oneesan? No, maybe Asuka-oneechan is better?”

I feel bad for Misaki since she just went full delusional mode but I have correct her here.

“Sorry, but she did confess to me but we are not dating you know? Also, Asuka is just her stage name, just like my Kamishiro Kousei ok.”

“EHH!? WHY!? What on earth could you be dissatisfied with! D, D, Don’t tell me, she actually has a terrible personality…….?”

“No, she’s a confident and cheerful girl with a good personality.”

“The, then why did you turn her down!?”

“Well, I didn’t exactly turn her down.”

“What do you mean!? I don’t get it anymore!”

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw Misaki grabbing her head in confusion.

Suzuka did confess to me but I was stopped from giving my reply by none other than Suzuka herself, so it couldn’t be helped.

“Well, there were some circumstances.”

“MUU…..I’m curious now but…….I will wring the details out from you later……”

“Just forget about it……I guess the mall should be open by the time we arrive, do you want to go buy your clothes now?”

“Eh? Ah, Yes! Let’s go!”

Thus, we decided to go to the mall. It’s been a week since summer vacation started. So many things have happened and I can’t tell what lies in the future at all.
