Volume 6 - CH 39

Hosokawa Seiko

“You’re the person Hideyori-kun always talking about right?”

.

.

Emi has taken interest in Tatsuyuki-san.

She’s always been curious about people who are close to me like Takeru and Risa.

.

.

“Nice to meet you, Emi-chan.”

“You’re so overly familiar! Suddenly using my first name like that! I don’t really like it when someone casually calls me by my name.”

“I’m awkward when I use people’s last names, you see. It just felt like I’m denying their individuality. Since we won’t have that many chances to meet each other, it’s fine isn’t it.”

.

.

Tatsuyuki-san casually played it off.

I get the feeling that he’s used to dealing with women.

.

.

“She should be here any minute now but…..honestly, I’m anxious. That girl has no sense of direction after all…….”

.

.

When Tatsuyuki-san muttered so in a small voice, the sounds of bells clanking came from the door, indicating that a customer had just come in.

All eyes naturally turned toward that direction.

.

.

“Ah……”

.

.

Nodoka’s voice rang out.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“…….Sei-chan, why are you here?”

“Uwah? No-chan? I almost jumped……”

.

.

Nodoka was surprised by the arrival of a girl who seems to be her friend.

.

.

“If Nodoka didn’t call her then who did? Was it you, Akechi-kun?”

“No, I don’t know anything about this……..”

.

.

Madoka whispered me a question but I’m not brave enough to call someone I’m not friends with here today, you know.

.

.

“Ah…….”

“Nii-san……?”

“The girl who was with Nodoka-chan at that time huh……….”

.

.

Hearing Takeru, I vaguely recalled meeting her before.

I remember Takeru talking about how he would definitely go for Risa if he was a game or a manga’s protagonist.

And the fact Takeru said that he [Likes her face].

.

.

“Good Afternoon, Tatsuyuki-san.”

“Afternoon. Hideyori is already here you know.”

“Yes! Good afternoon, Hideyori-senpai!”

“G, good afternoon……”

.

.

The girl stands right in front of me.

For some reason, it feels like all the girls here suddenly looked kinda flustered.

I can even see the changes in the facial expressions of the ones who are standing nearby like Sakuya, Eien-chan, and Madoka.

.

.

.

.

.

.

“I’m……my name is Hosokawa Seiko……….I’m Akechi Hideyori-san’s…….younger sister.”

“Eh?…………EHHHHH!?”

“ “ EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!?” “

.

.

Everyone let out their voices in surprise.

.

.

“Hi, Hi, Hi, Hi, Hideyori-kun’s sister……?”

“Hideyori-san, you have a younger sister!?”

“Akechi-kun’s sister…….”

“Sei-chan is Hideyori-senpai’s…………?”

.

.

The existence of my little sister sent a shock to everyone in the coffee shop.

C, Certainly, Oba-san told me that my sister’s name is [Seiko] but………., seriously……..?

.

.

It’s true that she has the same brown hair as Hideyori(Me). And those slightly slanted eyes give us a similar atmosphere too.

I’m about a head taller than her so she looks a little petite to me.

Her long hair also gives a strong feminine impression.

The pale freckles on her face also characterized her a lot.

.

.

“S, Seiko-chan……..?”

“The -chan is unnecessary……..please call me by my name,……..Onii-chan.”

“….!?”

.

.

Both the previous and this one.

In both my lives I was an only child.

I’ve always been a little jealous looking at Takeru and Madoka.

There were not a few times that I wished I have a sister of my own.

Since she never appeared in the game and I thought that I would never get the chance to meet her, I have long given up on seeing my younger sister.

So, That’s why………

.

.

“SO CUTE!!”

“!?”

“Oh my GAWD!? LOOK! HER EYES LOOK JUST LIKE MINE RIGHT!? SO CUTE!”

.

.

When a man has slanted eyes like that he would just give off the mean and grim vibe but a woman with slanted eyes, that’s just charming right!?

.

.

“Your freckles are cute too. Ahh, this is amazing, to think that a hooligan-looking guy like me can have such a cute little sister……..”

.

.

She’s just a lump of Moe-ness at this point!

I almost fell for her!

Is it okay for Akechi Hideyori to have such a nice younger sister, Sakura Matsuri-san!?

Her addition must have been rejected by the other devs but don’t you think you miss an opportunity not making her a heroine!?

Rather than Yoru Hiru, she would be much better as the main heroine right!?

.

.

“Can you call me Onii-chan one more time?”

“……Onii-chan!”

“Nice! You’re the best! Nice to meet you, I’m Akechi Hideyori.”

“Yes! Please take good care of me!”

.

.

Her smile was dazzling.

.

.

“This is bad….., she’s as cute as StarCha…… no, Seiko is even cuter than StarCha!”

“….Eh Eh!? I, I’m……..cuter than StarCha…..?”

“Obviously!”

“Ehe…..Ehehehe.”

.

.

Seiko’s laugh was unforgettable.

Man, I don’t want to die.

.

.

“Haha, you’re responding to this even better than I expected, Hideyori.”

.

.

I can see Tatsuyuki-san smiling as though he’s happy about something.

This man, to think that he would prepare such a surprise for me!

Now I have no choice but to pay you back right!?

.

.

.

“H, Her eyes are so similar to Hideyori-kun’s! So cute!”

“It’s true! That little slant is really nice isn’t it!”

“KYAA! She has the same eyes as Hideyori-san!”

“Her eyes look somewhat impudent but I like them.”

“That Akechi Hideyori has a younger sister huh…….., she does share the look though.”

“Sei-chan is Hideyori-senpai’s sister huh! I didn’t notice that at all.”

.

Suddenly, Seiko became popular with the girls.

She looks like Hideyori so I was prepared to jump in if they start hating on her but I’m glad that they accepted Seiko.

I left the girls to themselves and joined the boys who were gathering at the counter.

.

.

“Is this okay, Takeru? Sitting here like this? You’re not going to try making a pass on her?”

“I told you, it’s not like that. It’s just, since her eyes look like yours I said that I like her face. It’s not anything romantic.”

“I see,……Nn?”

.

.

Why does the fact that her eyes look like mine make him say that he likes her face though?

It’s like he likes my face too and that’s just embarrassing, isn’t it.

.

.

“I see, that girl is Hideyori-kun’s little sister huh. To think that I would be able to witness this happening, this world is full of mysteries, isn’t it.”

“Master knows about our family circumstances after all……..”

“Even if we are not related by blood, we are still family right.”

.

.

Master also looks at Seiko from afar.

.

.

“Hideyori, you sure turned into a siscon in an instant huh?”

.

.

Tatsuyuki-san started teasing me.

.

.

“N, N, No, No, I’m not a siscon though!”

“Oh, you are. As your best friend, I can guarantee that.”

“I can’t handle these two siscons anymore!? Is Master a siscon too?”

“No way, why would I think of my married older sister that way………Tatsuyuki-kun and Takeru-kun are special cases, you know.”

“My 5 sisters are more important to me than my life after all.”

“I love Risa so at least I should have the right to judge the person who’s going to marry her right?”

“I don’t think I can bear seeing my 5 little sisters getting married though?”

“…………”

.

.

While listening to these siscons talk, I was looking at Seiko who’s being doted on by the girls with a warm smile.
