CH 24

I entered a large shopping mall and walked toward a clothing store.

And then, I saw Segawa and Ishizaki from the opposite side. Perhaps the two of them had come to shop for something as well.

As I got closer to them, they seemed to notice me.

Ishizaki looked like he was smiling, and Segawa was mumbling something.

What happened?

After thinking for a while, I realized.

Maybe they were on a date.

It would be awkward to meet someone you know on a date. Thinking so, I took my sister’s hand and moved away from them.

Segawa side

After they were gone,

“Do you know who was standing next to Shiori senpai earlier?”

“No, I don’t.”

“I wonder who he is.”

“She didn’t look like she had a boyfriend, but she was attached to him.”

Right. Shiori senpai likes Yuuki.

If so, who is he? They were holding hands, and Yuuki’s  other family members were his younger sister and parents, and no one else.

There’s no way…she’s actually dating someone else, right?

In the end, I’m still not sure, so I continued my date with Shota.

Yes, it’s a date. We have to have fun !

I decided to ask her the next time we met, and started walking with Shota.

Yuuki side

After that we went around the clothing stores.

My sister made me feel like a dress-up doll, but I can’t complain since she’s the one who’s buying for me.

Besides, my sister didn’t seem to be listening to me, so I decided to leave her to it. I’m not a fashion expert, so there’s no point in me telling her what to wear.

After buying some clothes, we left the clothing store.

“I’m so impressed with the way you looked in everything, Yuuki. I’m at loss.”

“Is that so? I don’t often buy clothes, so I don’t know much about that kind of thing.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll pick it out for you from now on.”

“Thank you, that helps.”

When I looked at myself in the mirror, I still didn’t feel very good about myself.

A stylish and handsome man had suddenly appeared. Even if they said it was me, I still couldn’t believe it. It was as if I was looking at it from someone else’s point of view.

I must’ve changed that much.

My sister seemed to still want to buy something, so she took me by the hand and we headed somewhere.

After a while, we arrived at a place that sells swimsuits. …For women.

My sister tried to pull me inside, and I desperately resisted. As you can imagine, it’s awkward.

After a while, I felt warm gazes from people around me.

When I thought about the reason, it had to do with my sister, who’s beautiful and me, who somehow became good-looking, in the swimsuit section…..

I kind of knew what the people around me were thinking, and I suddenly lost my strength.

My sister pulled me along, and I ended up going inside.

“Now, Yuuki. Please choose a swimsuit that suits your sister. Okay?”

Saying that, she picked up some swimsuits and went into the fitting room.

Then she stuck her head out and said,

“No peeking, okay?”

“I know. Don’t worry.”

“Yeah, you mustn’t, okay?”

With that, she went back inside.

I wonder if she should be worried about that now that we’ve been taking baths together, but I decided to sit and wait anyway.

After a while, someone seemed to be approaching. I looked at the person, and…it was my former childhood friend, Kamizaka san.
