CH 27

And now I’m on my way to a Western-style restaurant that has recently opened for lunch, at Kanna’s insistence.

It’s the first time in a while that karate is off today, and I can’t say no to her.

She seems to be having a good time. Well, Kanna likes to eat, doesn’t she?

And to be honest, I’ve wanted to go there too.

I don’t have a problem with it.

“Hey, Kanna?”

“Hmm? What? Sō-chan.”

She is still as close as ever.

But that’s just the way it’s always been. I guess it’s her personality, so I don’t think about it anymore.

“Hey, did you teach Airi something strange?”

“Hmm? Something strange?

“Like low kicks, for example…”

A sharp one with great destructive power.

I knew it.

Well, she clearly said she got it directly from the teacher.

She teaches something unnecessary, though…

My leg still hurts badly. Why did you teach her?

“But you’re such a good girl, Airi! She’s obedient, well-behaved, and cute. It’s the ideal little sister. I envy you so much! “

Well, which Airi is Kanna talking about?

Is she obedient? Well-behaved?　

I’m sure the Airi you just heard from your mouth is not my sister Airi, who makes it her life’s purpose to annoy me.

“There’s no one that solid in elementary school. And she’s in the lower grades, right? She’s too intelligent! “

S-smart?

She was kicking my feet while giggling and shouting ‘small fry’ and other foul-mouthed words befitting an elementary schooler… was that smart?

What is she talking about?

? What’s that? Really?

“And by the way, So-chan… Don’t you want a lover or something?　Even Airi-chan has one?”

“What? Me?”

“Uh, yeah. Sō-chan style…”

Girlfriend, huh…

It’s a difficult question.

And don’t talk like that. You make it sound like I’m losing to Airi.

Well, the thing is…

In case you don’t know, Just as a matter of fact, I had a girlfriend… once.

Well, as ‘that guy’… yes.

It’s fine to include it in the count. It should be barely able to.

But it was a tough time.

Maybe there were also many fun things to make up for it…

“I don’t know.”

“I see. You don’t know. Hey, is your type the same as before?”

My type?

“Well, I don’t think it’s changed. Why?”

“Uh, you know…”

Hmm?　What is it? Suddenly she’s flustered…

I mean, what’s with that question?

This is an unusual type of question for Kanna.

“Speaking of which, are you feeling sick? As I recall, you’ve been in a slump since yesterday when we decided on the field trip group.”

I don’t think there was anyone strange in Kanna’s group, but she seemed under the weather back then for some reason.

Maybe Kanna ate something strange or something?

No, she wouldn’t have invited me to lunch then. Hmm?

“Hmm, it’s Sō-chan’s fault…”

” ? What did you say?”

What?　I didn’t hear you.

Anyway, for some reason, Kanna is standing beside me, with her eyes in a bad mood.

?

But, yeah. I see.

Next week is already a field trip.

I’m sure she’ll do something to me.

I don’t know what she will do.

Also, Hirose-san’s birthday is coming soon, so I have to prepare for that as well.

So many things to do…

“Hey, Sō-chan. Let’s order different things and share! Share! “

“Yeah, sure. As always.”

“Yeah!”

Well, let’s just concentrate on this for now.

I think I’ll have a standard omu-rice.
