CH 16

When it was after school and I left the school, Yumika, who had been following me at a short distance, stood next to me.

“Do you want to go straight home?”

“I would like to be alone with Sakiya a little longer.”

“I thought so too. Let’s go somewhere.”

Hearing my words, Yumika showed a happy expression and lightly patted me on the back. I’d be happy too if I thought our feelings were in sync.

“Yumika likes sweets, right?”

“What’s with that prejudice”

“Because I like sweets.”

“……Such a shame, but I’m a sucker for sweets too!”

It was still the same. I didn’t think I needed to confirm it, but I went out of my way to ask because I wanted to realize that we like the same things.

“There’s a crepe shop in front of the station that I recommend.”

“I want to go.”

Yumika answered instantly, without giving it a moment’s thought.

“I knew it.”

Yumika’s eyes light up when she hears the word crepe. She seemed to have more of a sweet tooth than I had.

“You’re more of a fish person than a meat person, right?”

“That’s right.”

“See See”

Yumika expressed a proud smile, trying to claim that she knew me too.

“Your favorite color is black, right? I also like blue-ish colors.”

“Correct”

“Okay, everything’s identical.”

The more I answered correctly, the happier Yumika got. I honestly thought that was cute, and I’m happy when she got it right too.

“You’re more of a dog person than a cat person, right?”

“No, I’m a cat person.”

“Ehh!”

Yumika was shocked to find a different answer than mine. Even though we are twins, we were raised in different environments, so there will inevitably be some margin of error.

“Don’t give me an answer that differs from mine.”

“That’s a stretch.”

“I want to be the same as Sakiya as much as possible. I am also a cat person from today onwards. Meow~”

For some reason, Yumika forced herself to match.

She couldn’t accept what she couldn’t understand, it seemed like she was trying to match me with different answers.

We reached a crepe shop in the metro of the station, and I decided to order one of the menu items, which was strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce.

Then, Yumika ordered the same crepe as me.

“Why order the same thing? If you order two different things, you can taste two kinds of flavors.”

“Wh-Wha-What’s with that premise of indirect kiss!”

Yumika’s face turned red when she heard my words.

“Oh, I see. …… that’s what it would be. Kana and I always enjoyed ordering two different flavors, so that’s why I said it. Sorry.”

Although Yumika is a twin, we had only known each other for a short time.

I shouldn’t have spoken to her on the premise of an indirect kiss…

The finished crepes were handed to me and Yumika to eat at a nearby table.

“It’s delicious.”

“Right.”

“how you know a good crepe place when you’re a guy”

“Sugiyama-senpai told me.”

Hearing my words, Yumika stopped eating her crepe.

“Could this senior be a girl?”

“…….that’s right but”

Hearing my answer, Yumika lightly kicked my shin with her toe.

“What’s with that”

“Don’t bring me to a place where you have memories of another woman.”

“I don’t remember anything else. Sugiyama-senpai was the glasses-wearing, sober and loner-senpai who showed me the hidden place to eat during lunch break.”

Yumika’s mood quickly deteriorated when she talked about other people.

I had my doubts, but decided to think calmly. I certainly wouldn’t be pleasantly surprised if Yumika talked about some guy I don’t know……

Huh? Isn’t that jealousy or something?……

“About that girl. Were you dating her?”

“I don’t have that kind of relationship, I don’t even have …… contact information. And like I said before, I’m not proud of it, but I’ve never dated anyone.”

“That’s something to be proud of.”

Yumika was upset earlier, but suddenly smiled when she heard that I had never had a girlfriend before for some reason.

I think I had told her before that I never had a girlfriend, but it seems that talking about my lack of popularity are Yumika’s favorite.

“I wonder if you’ll let me taste your crepe.”

“Why? It tastes the same.”

“You don’t like it?”

“I don’t mind, but…”

Yumika exchanged her crepe for mine.

I ate Yumika’s crepe, but I felt Yumika’s crepe was a little sweeter, even though the taste should have been the same.

“Does this make sense?”

“…..There is. And I feel like we’re getting a little closer.”

“Because you’re a germaphobe, isn’t it uncomfortable for a man like me to eat?”

“If I think you’re filthy, then because you look just like me, then I’m filthy too. I wouldn’t be offended if it was filth from Sukiya. If it were another man’s crepe, I’d throw it away.”

it seemed that all my filth was accepted.

That’s a little naughty.

Well, I think I can accept anything about Yumika, too.

A little embarrassed, we quickly finished our crepes so they wouldn’t
