CH 43

"Ah......truly, to think that I can view Rikudou-san and Chisome-san even after school, spring has come to my world♪"

“......You, you’re Shindou Misora, right? Was she this kind of character, I wonder....... Well, but I'm like this too anyway, so it's fine right, nothing special!"

“................”

For the time being, why did it turn out this way again, huh.

If I remember correctly, I met up with Chisome at the school gate, but there I happened to run into Misora and Yuika as well.......and then the four of us just went with the flow as it was and came to the coffee shop.

It was also a sudden thing anyway, and above all, the fact that these two people, who were going through a lot of intense stuff right in front of me, seemed to be impairing my memory.

"Onii-sama, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Aah, Mashiro is cute really. It's my healing."

"......you can be more pampered you know?"

"I'll pamper"

"Un"

While Chisome, who was sitting next to me, looked at me with a smile, and me to her who sat on my lap, hugged Mashiro as hard as I could.

There were the two people who couldn't perceive Mashiro in front of me, but without worrying about it, I was enjoying just the right amount of coldness given by Mashiro and the elasticity that was no different from Chisome.

"Oh Nii-san......I've already introduced myself to Shindou-senpai, but this the first time I've talked to you like this isn't it?"

"I-, Indeed......"

While flirting with Mashiro, only my ears are listening to their exchanges.

Apparently Yuika was quite in a state of nervousness at the fact she's being talked to by Chisome, but "Well, that's also not unreasonable, I guess," and smiled wryly.

"Wawaa......it's ticklish, Onii-sama"

"Oops my bad"

"Nuh-uh, I was just surprised. So be more intimate with me; fawn on me more?"

“...............”

Today's Mashiro looks awfully mature, or rather, I can feel the sweetness of an older sister (Onee-san) alright.

Even so, Mashiro still had, after all, a lot of absent-minded expressions, so no matter how far she went, I couldn't clear out the perception that she was my little sister.

"Are you being nervous? It's true that this is the first time we've talked, but from Nii-san, the head is much unscrewed........ Kohon *cough*, I heard you have a pleasant personality though?"

"Taiga?"

"I mean it's true right"

"......That's also right but. Somehow I'm not fully satisfied with this."

No, I mean......right?

For some reason, Misora's cheeks puffed out when we were having such exchanges, and we all turned our eyes to her to see what was wrong.

“Why, did Rikudou-san open up to Matou-san so much so quickly? You still haven’t called me by my first name and yet!” [Tl note: Rikudou-san refers to Taiga.]

"......Uhhh"

"......I thought we had gotten along well as it is. But, was it just me who thought so?"

"No, that's not what I......"

This's strange, wonder why the point of the spear is facing me.

In a sense, this Misora's way of saying it, is not the look of someone being jealous of another woman, but her true motive probably isn't something like that should be.......as if to save me who was at a loss, Chisome interjected.

"Why do you want to be close with Nii-san?"

"I, certainly with Rikudou-san, but I'd also like to be close to Chisome-san more and even more!"

"What about that heart of yours?"

"Because if we became close, I could see more of this presh space! Perhaps there will also be an opportunity to play at your house, and the chances of seeing the two of you in complete privacy at that time will overwhelmingly increase as well! That's why I, I want to be closer to you more!"

"......That's what I thought, Sheesh" (Taiga)

Her vigour looks about to become a stalker one of these days, but is she okay, this girl.

Incidentally, Yuika, who saw this Misora's transformation earlier, while also surprised she accepted it, but as expected, it seems she didn't think Misora was going to go this far.

"There is a limit, but if you want to see me and Nii-san's lovey-dovey scene, I can only say, please go ahead and see it."

"Properly, I will discern my limits."

Misora corrected her attitude in an instant at Chisome's few words.

Until a short time ago, her breathing through the nose had also become rough anyway; if anything, even her nostrils had gotten bigger, and yet, the current her was completely showing the figure of a lady.

"Interesting people gather around Nii-san, I see. I don't give mercy regarding people who come do bad things to us, but I don't dislike people like Shindou-senpai and Matou-senpai."

"......Chisome-san!"

"......Chisome-chan!"

Misora and Yuika held Chisome's presented hand as if they were moved.

If it were some long time ago, it would have been most likely impossible to convey this kind of smile and words from the now-Chisome without having a bad feeling come to mind, right.

There is a saying that nothing will be well-received by all people, but the charm that Chisome exudes has the power to captivate and attract all beings.

"Nii-san is also, see, why don't you let yourself call Shindou-senpai by her first name? It's a good opportunity for me too anyway, so will you two let Nii-san call you by your first name as well?"

"Yeah......if Shindou is good, then not at all."

"Of course I don’t mind, Onii-sama......No that, Rikudou-san!"

"I-, I'm totally okay with it too, Chisome-chan! Or rather, we've already done that though!"

"......Customer, is it okay to ask to be a little quieter?"

The waitress warned us because we were getting excited.

I had thought that, as expected, their voices would be loud, but it seems they were loud enough to end up getting a warning after all.

Misora and Yuika have calmed down, but their excitement doesn't seem to cool down.

After that, it was decided to call each other's first names, and Misora was crying with a handkerchief in her hand.

"Aah♪ Today is what you call the best day ever. Taiga-san and Chisome-san, I feel like I've become even closer to you two."

"You're right......Nee Misora, you're a very funny girl aren't you. Besides......"

"I know, Yuika-san. We, we have an affinity with each other thingy aren't we. Isn't that exactly what a friend of the heart is all about?"

"Friend of the heart.......That's fine isn't it, very! From now on, let's continue to get along with each other!"

"Indeed!!"

We witnessed the birth of a new friendship before our very eyes.

After that, in relation to Misora, she seemed to actually have a lesson to go to, so she left the shop while also having a feeling of reluctance to part.

"Because time with us is more important, so it's okay to be late, she's saying that, really?" (Taiga)

"Despite appearances, her house is very rich, isn't it? If you're a young lady, it looks like your family will be very noisy about that kind of thing though." (Chisome)

"That girl is fine you know. It's true that she's taking lessons for the sake of her future, but Misora's family puts her thoughts first that's why see." (Yuika)

So it was like that......I don't seem to remember anything like that.

Probably, but at the present time, Yuika remembers more things regarding the story than I do anyway, and I think she's well-informed about it.

“But, no way, Yuika-san really was a special-ish existence.” (Chisome)

"Indeed. I didn't think you'd notice me at that point."

“......Are you a person from the same world as Nii-san?”

"Looks like it."

“...............”

At Yuika's words, Chisome puffed out her cheeks and looked at me.

Although Chisome seldom shows jealousy, the feelings she was holding right now were undoubtedly imbued with a hint of jealousy.

And that wasn't just Chisome; it was also the same with Mashiro, with whom the senses were shared.

"......even if I know it can't be helped. I don't know what kind of world Nii-san was in anyway, and because I can't go there."

"That is, well, I suppose so."

"That's why I'm feeling a little jealous might be."

"......Me as well, Onii-sama"

Yareyare (Oh man), my two little sisters are so cute that I can't help but love them though.

As long as Yuika is in front of me, it's impossible for me to forget about my surroundings too much and be affectionate to them, so let's put up with it a little until we get home.

Now then, although she couldn't see her, maybe because Yuika knew about Mashiro's existence, to the extent that it didn't look unnatural, Chisome released her power.

"......e?"

Yuika's surprised voice and struck dumb with astonishment expression were impressive.

Reflected in her eyes was a beautiful girl who looked exactly like Chisome, and what she perceived as Black Chisome showed her figure.

"Mashiro, once again give your greetings." (Taiga)

"Un. First time meeting you, it's Mashiro."

"Ah......Un. First time meeting you."

Yuika, it seems this has caused an overcapacity in the brain due to repeated strong impressions.

Nonetheless, perhaps because of her experience of reincarnation, she seems to have cultivated the ability to accept things in her own way, and by the time we left the shop, she held Mashiro's hand and the two had gotten along well.

"This world is a god, I see! The fact that I could meet two people I am so in love with like that, it's marvelous!"

"......the tension is too high."

"Ah, I'm sorry Mashiro-chan! So please don't hate me!"

"I won't go as far as to hate you."

"An angel......an angel exists!!"

There is a character collapse happening that makes one wonder what Matou Yuika is anymore.

In this way, the number of people who know our secrets has increased, but I can't imagine at all that Yuika will attract something bad, so I think that maybe for Chisome and Mashiro, the existence of Yuika, who accepts and treats everything well, will become a big thing.

"Me think it's okay to also tell Misora-senpai about Mashiro you know."

"Was that so?"

"Un. I told you, right? Because I know that she will never betray. Rather, won't she not be able to stop crying because she is even more moved than what she was shown today?"

"......That does seem like what's gonna happen yeah."

At Misora, who we could easily imagine, Chisome and I laughed.

The change in these heroines, unbeknownst to and without the participation of the protagonist, Souma, brings about irreversible changes.

He, who thinks it's natural for him to be liked, Souma, when things have come this far, I do feel pity for him. But well, I guess he has no choice but to have himself understand that this is the reality.
