Chapter 24 - A Phone Call from Manami

<b>A Phone Call from Manami</b>

[Onee-chan’s in trouble. You have to do something.]

I received a sudden text from Manami.

[What’s the matter?]

[Take her out on a date.]

[Wait, why…?]

[Take her out on a date.]

For a while, that was the only message that came.

As I was wondering what to do, my phone began to ring.

“Ah, Manami. What’s wrong?”

“It’s all Kouki-nii’s fault.”

She didn’t seem to want to talk about why.

“Um…”

“It’s all Kouki-nii’s fault, so take Onee-chan on a date and go somewhere with me.”

“Why…?”

“Even if I speak my mind… to Kouki-nii, he won’t notice…”

I heard her sigh loudly over the phone. What did I do to deserve this…?

(TL: Everything wrong, bud.)

“You had a lewd look on your face when that beautiful onee-san hugged you.”

“Eh…?”

I wanted to deny it, but as it was partially true, I couldn’t. She’s probably talking about the time I went to hang out with Akito and those girls.

“Um…”

“I know that you probably have your reasons, but I hate it when you get along with girls other than Onee-chan and me!”

“O-Oh…”

I wonder what it is. Possessiveness? Something like, I don’t want my brother and sister to be taken away from me! ?

“So, please go on a date with Onee-chan and please go somewhere with me.”

“Why ……?”

(TL: Bro. Just do it. Don’t ask why.)

“Please.”

“Okay…”

I wasn’t sure why Aisa was angry, but well, if she felt I was ogling other girls, that’s probably what it was. She’s always been angry in those situations. Or maybe it was because I had angered Manami. That’s more likely. She’s always had a soft spot for Manami.

She said to go on a date with Aisa, but I’m sure she just meant to carry Aisa’s bags.

“You promised Onee-chan to go to the pool with her, didn’t you?”

“Ah, I did.”

I made the promise on that day.

“Okay! Then, let’s go to the beach.”

“The beach…?”

“Don’t you want to see Onee-chan’s swimsuit as many times as possible…?”

“That’s…”

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to see it.

“Fufu. The baggage will be bulky if the two of us go, but it should be okay. Yeah, let’s do it!”

“Sounds good.”

“Then, I’ll call you when I’ve set a date!”

“Hey!”

She just said what she wanted to say and then hung up.

What do you want me to do…? Well, I guess I’ll just have to wait for Manami to contact me again.

“Wait, but won’t Aisa be in a bad mood over that…?”

I expected that to happen, but after considering my usual behavior, I put the idea to the back of my mind.

I’m not sure if I’m the only one who thinks it would be fun to go back to the way things were before, or if Aisa thinks so too. However, I was grateful that her attitude had become gentler since the day we went out.

“The beach…”

Due to the schedule, I will probably go to the pool with Aisa first, but then it’s to the beach with Manami…

“If I ever get caught staring, I’ll get stabbed.”

Though, I would probably complain if they actually stabbed me. However, I know firsthand how popular the two of them are. If I wanted to be able to go to the beach and see them in their swimsuits, and even if I had to carry luggage with two of the most beautiful sisters representing the school, don’t even… think about staring.

To turn away from the harsh reality, I began to look up information on nearby beaches.

If we’re going to go, let’s try to make it fun for the three of us.

(TL: I haven’t forgotten about you guys. Yet.)
