"Wonder what I'm gonna do about summer vacation"

"Let's go play around why not"

With summer vacation just around the corner, it's easy to see that even among us students, there are more and more people who are having fun.

Well, as a student, a long vacation is something that makes them happy.

There is no need to get up early in the morning, and there are no classes, so a month and a little period of freedom in the true sense begins.

"...Naa, why am I being interrogated like this?"

While my classmates were thinking about summer vacation like that, I was stared at by Shinji and Kouki.

Though I say being stared at, it's not in a hot-kinda way and just like the way I said it, I was being interrogated by these guys for some reason――regarding Chisome.

"Naa Taiga....You, ain't the sense of distance with Chisome-chan kinda strange? Are you trying to show off to us or something?"

"Chisome-chan didn't move from next to you either, and I already knew you were on good terms, but it's like you two looks like a lover, isn't it?! Even though I know that's not the case, it's still heartbreaking!"

"..... Like as if I know that"

No, seriously, I know nothing about that......。

Well, the distance between me and Chisome is certainly close... I'm aware of that to the extent that I'm convinced when I'm being told that.

But... it's been going on for a long time, and more than anything else, it's also because I love Chisome lots.

"'Cause me, I love Chisome lots alright."

"...... I get that thing already! I also know the fact Chisome-chan loves you too!"

"I know it's unreasonable, but! that sweet-like atmosphere how should I put it...... on second thought, it felt like my heart is breakiiiinngg!!"

I said again that I don't know, but if I were in their position, I would be annoyed and might say something like that.

Even more so if the other party is a beautiful girl like Chisome, what's more, at that time, Chisome never left my arm, and yeah in fact, by holding my arm, I could directly feel the sensation of Chisome's large breasts.

"Un, it was my bad"

".....Well that's fine though but"

"Getting along is a good thing after all."

Sure enough, these friends of mine would often make a fuss about trivial things from time to time, but I'm happy because in the end, they also think about me and Chisome.

And yet they don't know much about our family.....There's nothing I can do about this, and I don't think I will tell anything in order not to make them unnecessarily worry.

"I'm going to the toilet"

"a, I'm going too."

"I just went, so I'm fine."

I got up from my seat and left the classroom with Kouki.

"Well, I did say various things, but when I see you getting along with Chisome-chan, it makes this side happy too."

"I see. Well, worrying about fights... I don't know, but at least I don't think we'll get on bad terms."

"Right. Rather, I can't imagine you and Chisome-chan not getting along I think."

Surely yeah, and then I laughed.

But I also know that there is a world in which this did not actually happen, so I said something like this with a slightly mischievous look.

"But it could have happened, you know? My relationship with Chisome is the worst, and it's like the world where Chisome hates me so much that she wants to kill me or something."

"Naahh, I still can't imagine it. Those such people are not Taiga or Chisome-chan, it's just a different person with a similar appearance."

"... haha, that's right"

I said it myself, but once again I nodded.

I no longer exist in the original future, but I do exist now――at this point, the world is already moving in a different direction, so I'll just keep watching over Chisome while living a life that only I can do now.

“Taiga is also worthy but, Chisome-chan too really likes you isn't she. When you went to the toilet during bowling, Chisome-chan happily talked about things at home. Even though she is like going on about one's love and living together like a couple, over this side which is me naturally end up smiling even here, you know?" [Tl note: worthy, as in, deserving of her]

"... Fu~n"

Did Chisome talk about that while I wasn't there?

I don't think she would do this with other boys, but it's proof that she's open to my two friends.

"Fuu"

"Ohhh so clear so clear" [Tl note: that feeling when you hold your urges and let it out.]

I didn't say anything in particular to the crude expressions next to me, and when I was about to return to the classroom, Kouki and I saw a certain sight.

"Un?"

"Isn't that...."

A couple of men and women talking in a corner of the corridor, it was Souma and Misora.

"Isumi and Shindou? That's a rare combination."

"... isn't it"

From my point of view, it's not at all uncommon, but... even so, If I wasn't wrong about it, Souma and Misora got to know each other when they were in the same class after advancing to second year.

There's no way they've known each other since this time, but well, as long as I exist, things won't necessarily go according to the game,  and above all else, I have suspicions that Souma is also a reincarnation, so to me there's nothing strange.

(No way...I wonder if he can't wait and is about to sprinkle powder now)  [Tl note no 1]

If that's the case, on the contrary, I'm impressed that he's behaving indescribably active.

Misora is still my second favorite character in this world, but of course I don't have any special feelings, so I don't care who Misora sticks with.

......I do think that big breasts of hers are very attractive though.

"Ain't the air kinda strange?"

"e?"

Kouki said so, so I turned my attention back over there.

Just then, Misora turned her back on Souma with an angry expression and went back to the classroom, ignoring his voice to stop her.

Souma was stunned and looked at his back, and just as he turned his eyes on me and Kouki, he immediately averted his gaze and walked back to his classroom.

"...is it a fight?"

"Maybe"

..... Well, even if I do worry about it, it can't be helped.

Even so, I was able to quickly find out why Misora was making that kind of expression.

"Ah, Shindou?"

"Ara Rokudou-san"

I met her by chance at the shoe rack.

It's the same with me, but she said she's going home alone today, so I decided to walk with her to the school gate.

And in the flow of the story, I heard about Souma.

"... did it look like I was angry?"

"Wasn't it?"

"... No, that's certainly true. Rather than just being angry, should I say that I feel a little creeped out."

"What do you mean?"

"um... Isumi-san called me out of the blue and said, 'I don't mind if you become my big sister.'"

“..............”

Sad news, it has been confirmed that the original protagonist is also a reincarnated person.

And one more thing, the words he chose because he was trying to get along with the heroine are fatally too bad.

(... No, Misora is certainly that kind of character, but there is an event for her to properly awaken her yandere attribute... Without that, if you use such a revolting line that doesn't exist in the original, obviously things will turn out like that you know.)

I don't know, this looks worse in many ways than that junior who was involved with Chisome before.

Misora didn't lose sight of her ladylike demeanor, but it seemed that Souma, who had spoken directly to her, was more creepy than I thought, and she probably got goosebumps to the extent that he might as well rubbed her skin the wrong way.

“um… how should I respond in that case?”

"errr... to someone who suddenly asks you to become my big sister?"

“Yes. and moreover if you could tell me an answer that can be used for the persistent type...."  

Sorry, the answer might be harder than the final exam question.

But I wanted to ask her a bit of something.

"Was it just unpleasant when being asked to be my big sister?"

"Yes... um, I'm an only child, so there were times when I admired having like a younger brother. But now, if anything, I'd say...."

"....Un?"

Misora stared at me and said something like this.

“When I bumped into Rokudou-san before, I felt a very gentle atmosphere. And when you talk about your little sister, you seem very kind.... Fufu, I also want someone like a big brother, is what I ended up thinking.♪"

"... Hee"

Huh, could it be that the interaction with me changed her brother-loving attribute...?

"As though It was like fate isn't it."

Her dark voice echoes in my mind.

However, her appearance doesn't have the terrifying atmosphere seen in the game, so she can only be seen as a young lady with a smile that is far from being a yandere.

"Well, putting aside the thing with brother, basically, I think it's okay as long as you don't meet him with just the two of you alone, you know? If you have a friend by your side, he won't call out to you, and if he say the same thing even in that situation, the people around you should be of help."

"Right..... That's right isn't it. Yes, I will do just that then."

If he really did go that far though, then he is just a dangerous guy yeah.

After that, I parted with Misora and went home.

"... what are you doing?"

"Ah, Nii-san!"

The ones who welcomed me when I get back home were Chisome with a smile and Kuro Chisome who was staggering *fura*fura* on a balance ball.

"... a, come to think of it, I ordered a balance ball online. Did that child want it?"

"Un. I was watching it from TV and ended up wanting it, is what she said."

"Hehhh..."

After that, for a while, Chisome and I were warmly watching Kuro Chisome playing with a balance ball while eating sweets.

Time passed, the calendar changed to August, and finally my birthday came... but on that day, I ended up talking to an unexpected person.

"……you are?"

"Nice to meet you, my... no, I'm not even worthy of a name. If I dare to say my name, is it okay if I say that I was the mother of that monster I wonder?"

"...!"
