Chapter 80: CH 80

At my house, a cosplay photo session was being held right now.

This was the third Yuika’s cosplay.

She was now wearing a gothic lolita maid outfit with fox ears.

Posing with her was my younger sister Aina, a first-year middle school student.

Aina, dressed as a man and in a black cloak, held her hand out to me and said.

“All conditions have been met! Brother, start shooting as fast as you can!”

“Yes, Yes, Your Highness.”

When we finished filming, it was past noon.

It was time to get hungry.

“What do you want for lunch? Would you like to have it delivered?”

When I asked her that, Aina shouted cheerfully,

“Then let’s go to Kaitenzushi!”

(T/N: Kaitenzushi= Conveyor belt sushi)

“Yeah, okay”

There was a popular conveyor-belt sushi restaurant right next to the station closest to here.

Not only were they cheap, but the taste was quite good as well.

“How about you, Yuika?”

“Can I come with you?”

“Of course. My treat.”

“Thanks. Onii-san, you are quite cool today.”

“As usual.”

“I’ll put it that way.”

After getting changed, Yuika and Aina got into the car and we decided to head to a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant in front of the station.

◆◆◆◆◆

Once inside the sushi restaurant, we were shown to our table.

As soon as we were about to sit down, Aina immediately gave us instructions.

“I’ll sit over here, and you sit next to Yuika-san. Here, here.”

“… I understand.”

It seemed that Aina was still trying to get me and Yuika together.

Oh dear. No matter how you look at it, there’s no way a working man and a high school girl can be together. ……

Yuika, who was sitting on the side of the lane, didn’t seem to care, and handed me a teacup filled with hot tea.

“Here, tea.”

“Oh, thank you.”

“I’ll get your sushi, Onii-san. What would you like?”

You’re being awfully nice to me today.

Was it because of Aina? Or Was this the real Yuika?

""

Normally, she only talked standing up on the train, but in a place like this, she might be the type who was very attentive.

My sister Aina was happily watching our exchange.

She was grinning at me. ……

From the outside, do we look like an intimate couple?

Not a successful production of love, but these family-like interactions were not bad.

All right! I’ll take your word for it and have you get the sushi here.

“Then the first one is squid.”

“Yeah, okay. Squid and… broccoli.”

“Hey.”

I knew it was the usual Yuika.

I knew she was definitely aiming for the broccoli, which I hate.

But …, I had the advantage this time.

""

“Too bad, Yuika. You won’t find broccoli on the conveyor belt sushi menu.”

“Is that so?”

As if to show the winner’s composure, I smiled “Fu~…”.

“I was really ready to eat today, but it couldn’t be helped. This is the pinnacle of bitterness.”

“Oh, here come the broccoli rolls.”

“Why are you coming…”

There were a lot of different menu items at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant, but I had no idea there was such a thing as broccoli rolls. …, I was so careless.

Since I had gone to the trouble of getting it, I decided to be patient and eat it.

After eating for a while, Aina abruptly cut the conversation.

“Hey, Yuika-san. Do you have time tomorrow? There’s a fireworks display, do you want to go with me?”

There was a large park a short distance from here where a fireworks display was held every year around the time of the Obon Festival.

The festival was very popular among the residents of the area, as there were many food stalls lined up.

“Hmm. What should I do…”

Yuika makes a gesture of thinking and glanced at me.

“What do you want, Onii-san?”

What? Why are you asking me?

As for me, I wanted to respect Yuika’s opinion, so I could only say “I leave it to you”…

Aina immediately sent me a line here.

–Brother! Say I want you to come, Yuika!

I understand that it was cooler to say so, but saying that made it sound as if I had feelings for Yuika.

Aina may think she was supporting our love, but as a member of society, I was not comfortable saying this to a high school girl.

Then Yuika glanced at my phone and looked at me.

What’s with those eyes …….

Don’t tell me you’re trying to say that we should match Aina in this scene too?

""

There’s no way I could say such a cool line.

But Yuika continued to stare at me.

Ji~~

She kept staring.

I was defeated by the pressure and decided to give in.

“I….I want… Yuika to come…”

“Yes, yes. Honest Onii-san is cute.”

“Shut up.”

“I’m looking forward to the fireworks display.”

Yuika said so and smiled with satisfaction.

In the end, I was made to dance in the palm of Yuika’s hand again today.

Well, …….

Aina looked happy, so that’s good.

Thus, tomorrow we were going to the fireworks display.
