In the empty classroom after class…who do you want to do it with?
Recently, it feels like she’s been avoiding me again…Why? Did I do something bad?
Inside the classroom after classes had ended, Yuuya was busy decorating a mannequin’s head for their haunted house. He was thinking about Mitsuki again. Ever since the incident on the rooftop, it felt to him like Mitsuki had been avoiding him constantly. Besides training a bit for her takoyaki, she mostly holes herself up in her own room, even eating dinner at a different time from Yuuya.
Just when I thought we finally got a bit closer…
Just a while ago, they were eating breakfast together like normal siblings, and when they were doing homework together, Mitsuki even let down her guard so much that she slept in front of him. After all his hard work to get her to open up, it felt like a complete reset. For Yuuya, who was an only child, the existence called little sister was incomprehensible to him.
“But, she didn’t completely go back to zero yet. She’s making lunch after all. Just what’s going on with her?”
No matter how much he thought about it, no answer would come up. It happened when Yuuya tilted his head in confusion.
“Ah, Yuu-kun? You’re still here? Preparing for the school festival?”
Passing by the classroom, Yukina spotted Yuuya by chance, and called out to him.
“Yuki-nee? Oh, is it already this late? Wait, everyone’s already gone home?! When?!”
Having returned back to reality, Yuuya checked the time, and saw that it would only be another 30 minutes until the school would close down for the day.
“You always had the habit of losing sight of your surroundings when you’re thinking about stuff, right? What would you call that, going your own pace.” Yukina gave a slight giggle, watching Yuuya panic by quite a bit.
“Yeah, I was just thinking about something…”
“Thinking about something?”
“About Mitsuki. Did you hear something, Yuki-nee?”
“Not really, no. Did something happen?”
“Well, if you didn’t then it’s fine.”
“Is that so?” Yukina narrowed her eyes, walked towards Yuuya, who was sitting on the ground, and joined him.
She gazed straight at Yuuya’s eyes, like she was implying something.
“Y-Yuki-nee?”
“Sounds fishy. Just tell me if you need someone to talk to. It’ll stay just between the two of us, right?”
Her strong gaze remained unchanged from the old times, and Yuuya was weak against that.
“Well…The thing is, recently, it feels like Mitsuki has been avoiding me. Did she come complain to you about me by any chance?”
“No, I didn’t hear anything.”
“Really? Huh…It feels like back when we just started living together. So I wondered if I did something to make her hate me, see.”
Silently listening to Yuuya’s talk, Yukina eventually let out a deep sigh, and stared at him.
“Really…You sure are dense, Yuu-kun…”
“Eh?”
“There’s no way she’d be avoiding you because she hates you. Rather, it feels like it’s the opposite…You understand?”
Of course, Yuuya did not grasp what Yukina was trying to say, and just tilted his head in confusion. This reaction clearly irritated the girl, as she pulled on his cheek.
“Ooushh…”
“You really don’t get anything…I can’t believe it…I’m actually getting mad here, you know…”
While continuously pulling on Yuuya’s cheek, Yukina let out another aggravated sigh.
“From how I see it, Mitsuki clearly does not hate you, Yuu-kun.”
“Really…”
“Yeah, so no need to worry that much, okay?”
“If you say so, then that must be the case. Guess I’ll don’t mind it too much~”
When Yuuya showed a more cleared up expression, Yukina puffed out her lips, as she looked down.
“Yuki-nee? What’s wrong?”
“…It’s nothing. Just…Ahhh, now I’m really angry!”
Yukina pulled Yuuya by the hand, towards her.
“?!”
Unable to hold his ground by the sudden force, Yuuya flew into Yukina’s chest.
“Y-Yuki-nee?!”
His face sunk deep into her well-endowed chest, and he frantically tried to lift his body up out of this deadlock. However, Yukina followed up by grabbing his head, pulling him even closer. A soft voluptuous sensation pressed against his head, as he heard Yukina’s muttering.
“…Maybe a type like Yuu-kun needs a bit more of a direct approach like this?”
“Eh? W-What are you…”
“I really think that I’m trying hard here, you know…”
Another sigh escaped her rosy lips, as she formed a fist with her hand, forcing a more stern expression.
“But…I guess I have to work a bit harder…”
Following her own determined words, she gazed down at Yuuya.
“U-Um…Yuki-nee? What do you mean work harder…”
“Well…Um…In a lot of things, I guess…”
Her gaze wandered around the place, her face burning red. Watching this reaction, even Yuuya started to feel embarrassed.
“A lot of things…? For example?”
“I mean, at this rate…nothing will change, and things will stay the same…I’m a third year after all. There’s not much time left…so I feel a bit panicky…But…Ahhh I don’t even know what to do myself…” With a cornered expression, Yukina muttered on and on.
However, Yuuya was equally lost on what she was trying to say.
“Yuki-nee, you’re going to attend the recommended university, right? I don’t think you need to panic about anything…”
“…! Not in that way! Just, I’ll get busy with classes and circles and whatever. We won’t be able to see each other again like this…At the very least, not at school…”
“But, our homes are right next to each other, so we can always see each other if you want to—”
“…Ahhh, for crying out loud! Yuu-kun, you really don’t get anything, do you?!”
Yukina was angered, and pulled Yuuya’s head even closer towards her.
“—?!”
Because it happened so suddenly, Yuuya was perplexed. A feeling unbelievably soft was pushing against his head from both sides. A scent of sweat and milk filled his nose, making his heartbeat accelerate. And that seemed to be the same for Yukina, as he felt her intense heartbeat, even through her clothes.
“I don’t get it…What should I do…to have Yuu-kun understand…No matter how hard I try…it’s not coming across at all…” Yukina spoke up with a shaky voice.
“Yuki…nee…your chest…is hitting me…”
“……”
Yukina just completely ignored Yuuya’s appeal.
Yukina’s breasts felt soft and comforting, while they even had a nostalgic appeal to it. Yuuya even found himself wanting to stay like this forever. However, he quickly returned to reality as he got angry at himself with You can’t do that!, quickly trying to push up his body, and instead gripping down heavily on Yukina’s breasts.
“?!” Yukina’s face puckered, as her shoulders jumped up with a twitch.
“…W-Woah?!”
Out of surprise, Yuuya accidentally formed a fist with his hand, as his fingers sunk deeper into Yukina’s chest. Not good—he thought to himself, as he prepared himself for a gut punch, tightly shutting his eyes. However, to his surprise, Yukina just tightly shut her lips together, her eyes wandering around the place. No matter how much he waited for the counterattack that would send him flying, it never came.
“Y-Yuki…nee…?”
“Ah…Uu…Yuu-kun…It kind of…hurts a bit…?” Yukina’s body just softly twitched, as a soft, groaning voice escaped her lips.
Her face was burning red, as she showed a bitter smile. Yuuya couldn’t hide his surprise, seeing that Yukina was acting greatly different from usual.
“S-Sorry…”
He panicked and lessened the grip on his hand, which made her breasts bounce back into the palm of his hand, transmitting just exactly how soft they were.
“……!” Yuuya let out an audible gulp.
Unwillingly, he let out a soft and silent “Heavy…” in correlation to her breasts, but that apparently angered Yukina even further.
“Heavy…You say that in front of a girl?! As if I was heavy?!”
Out of rage, Yukina grabbed Yuuya’s hand, and forced him to grope her own chest even further. Matching with his hand’s movement, her breasts changed form. Although it was only through her clothes, her breasts were still quilling forth between each and every finger of his.
“Y-Yuki-nee…W-What’s wrong with you?! Why are you doing this?!”
“It’s your fault, Yuu-kun…Acting like you don’t get anything…Back at the hot spring…you already got a good feel of them, right…”
“?!” Yuuya’s blood started to boil out of embarrassment, as he remembered. “N-No! That was just an accident! Um…”
Before, when the whole group went to a hot spring trip, Yuuya happened to grope her breasts before, but she herself should know that that incident was nothing more than an accident.
“It was, but…You did grope them back then…If you feel like it, then just go ahead…?”
“No, that’s…Bad, you know…”
“Why is it bad? Ah…Mm…”
Unlike her normal calm and collected voice, Yukina sounded entranced, almost existed, as she moaned. Watching that, Yuuya started to get even more lost.
“…Doing…this…of course it’s bad…!”
The core of his head started to get mushy, unable to think about anything else, unable to realize that Yukina had already pulled her hand away from his, he was just moving his hand along her breasts. Rather, his movement started to get even more bold, as his rational thinking drifted further and further away.
“Ahh…Mmm…!”
The more he moved his hands over her breasts, the stronger was Yukina’s grasp on him. Normally, she would always rain down an iron fist on his head, no matter how much he pleaded. However, she didn’t resist in the slightest.
Why…Yuki-nee…At this rate…
Even as he thought that he had to quickly stop his hand, the soft sensation at his palm, his fingertips sucked him back in, unable to separate it.
“Mmm…Haaa…Hey…You can’t…any stronger…Yuu…kun…”
“W-We can’t…Yuki-nee… this is bad…”
Feeling two stiff lumps in his hands, Yuuya put more strength into it, trying to escape.
“! Ahhhhh! Noooo?!”
Following that, Yukina let out a considerably loud moan, hugging Yuuya with all her force, only to hang her head low. The classroom grew quiet, while Yuuya was still trapped in Yukina’s cleavage, feeling her heartbeat.
T-That just now…Was some sort of joke, right…?
“…Y-Yuki-nee?”
Since the girl didn’t say a word, Yuuya carefully raised up his head to check for a reaction. As he did, he saw her melted expression, as she just gazed down at him.
“Um…Well…I’m sorry…”
“…Why are you apologizing?”
“Well, because…I thought I’d get a slap to the face, so I apologized in advance…”
“…Is that so?”
A slight wave of killing intent emitted from Yukina’s eyes, making Yuuya think I said something bad there, as he waited for some sort of punishment. However, that never came.
“…So this is the kind of image you have of me inside your head? As soon as something happens, I use violence and rage? How could I give you a slap with all that’s happened just now?” Yukina gave a faint laugh, but her eyes weren’t.
Panicking, Yuuya tried to deliver a follow-up.
“But! The last time I touched them, I got a slap after all!”
“The situation from before and just now are completely different!”
The follow-up didn’t turn into one, and he apparently only added oil to the fire.
“…Even though…I tried my best to muster up my courage…”
While cracking her fingers, Yukina glared down at Yuuya, a terrifying smile decorating her expression. In response, Yuuya put both his palms together, and apologized.
“S-Sorry, Yuki-nee…”
“I guess that you’ll stay like this forever, Yuu-kun…No matter how embarrassed I was…I tried to hold back…I feel like an idiot…”
“I’m terribly sorry!”
Yuuya graveled on the ground to apologize yet again, to which Yukina just pouted her lips, only to soften her expression, and gave a long sigh.
“…If you don’t even know what you did wrong, then don’t apologize…”
Being rebuked by Yukina, Yuuya’s shoulders relaxed. Following that, the girl showed a bitter smile, and softly started to pat Yuuya on the head.
“Yuu-kun is Yuu-kun no matter what happens, huh~”
“…Yuki-nee.”
“Well, it’s fine. I’ll forgive you this once. I’m used to it after all. And, I don’t particularly hate your dense and indecisive parts either~”
As Yuuya realized that he avoided receiving the full rage of Yukina, het let out a relieved sigh.
“I wonder when things will change…Because even if my appearance changes, your image of me is still the same as all this time ago, right?”
“Well yeah, Yuki-nee is Yuki-nee. You’re strong, and cool—”
“Those aren’t words of praise anymore, at least not for me.” Yukina cut in between Yuuya’s words with her own.
But, as always, he was left unable to grasp what she was referring to, and tilted his head in confusion.
“…I guess I have to work a bit harder, huh. I can’t lose here.”
“Work harder? Lose? Against who?”
“It’s nothing. Just talking to myself. Anyway, did you give it some thought?”
“Eh? About what?”
“…About the culture festival! I invited you for the Love Quest to walk around, right?!”
“Ahh, that…Sorry, I forgot.”
“For crying out loud…I really mustered up my courage to invite you, you know?” Yukina gave a sweet glare from below, making Yuuya’s heart skip a beat.
“…Yeah. Well, I don’t have any other plans, so I guess we can—”
It happened right there as if to interrupt Yuuya’s words. A sudden sound filled the room. Reflexively gazing over at the direction, he spotted Mitsuki dashing away from the open door.
“?! Mitsuki?! Wah?! H-Hold on!”
Yuuya quickly separated his body from Yukina, running out of the classroom to dash after Mitsuki at full speed.
*
W-What?! Just now that guy and Yukina-san…inside the classroom…?! What were they doing…
Mitsuki just ran down the hallway, as her thoughts were concentrated around the scenery she just spotted. She saw something she should have never seen at all costs. Because of that, her heart was thrown into chaos. It was just the two of them in the empty classroom. Not to mention that they were really close, and their usual atmosphere was different as well. Just thinking about it made Mitsuki feel a sharp pain in her chest. There was no doubting it, the gauge of the TST must have been pitch black again. On top of not being the most sportive girl in general, her head was buzzing heavily from a headache, making her run out of breath fairly quickly. But even so, she couldn’t stop running for some reason. All she focussed on was not tripping over her own feet, as big, round tears started to fall down from her eyes.
“Mitsuki, calm down already! Knowing Onii-chan, this just have been some sort of lucky pervert happening or whatever!”
“Shut up! You pestered me to invite that guy for this Love Quest thing! And then you even possessed me to walk over there yourself! We should have just gone home instead!”
“Mitsuki, you’ve been avoiding Onii-chan again, just like you did in the beginning. Onii-chan will definitely get the wrong idea about it, so I thought it would be for the best…”
“Who cares if he gets the wrong idea?!”
“Why would you lie like that?! Both you and I share the same mind and body! How about you become a bit more honest?!”
“As if I could just become more honest like that?!”
While Mitsuki and Hiyori were having a verbal fight, they suddenly heard a loud scream behind them, coming from a familiar voice.
“Mitsuki, wait! Why are you running away?!”
!? Why is that guy chasing us?!
Mitsuki tried her best to raise her speed, but she couldn’t compete against Yuuya, as he grabbed her shoulder.
“?!”
That second, something like an electrical current ran through her body. A shiver run up her spine, filling her with an indescribable soft feeling, as she just started to fall over.
“Wah?! You can’t just stop like that—”
Naturally, that meant that she just fell on Yuuya, who was right behind her.
“Ouch…”
Though her scratched knees felt hot, even more than that, she grew conscious of Yuyua’s smell.
“…?! L-Let go!”
Having returned to reality, Mitsuki had Yuuya eat her elbow, as she lifted up her body. However, laying upwards, they ended up in a position where it looked like Yuuya had pushed her down. He grabbed her wrist, holding her down, gazing at her with a stern expression.
Ahhh, Onii-chan…to think you would push me down right here…So bold~ Someone will see! Kyaa, kyaa~ What should we do?!
Hiyori was twisting and turning her body right next to Mitsuki, her heartbeat directly transmitted over. Her own heartbeat accelerated, her breathing grew rough, and she narrowed her eyes as she gazed up. Those feelings that made her chest all muzzy and gloomy from before had vanished like the low tide, and now everything was synced with Hiyori’s ecstatic feelings.
“Mitsuki, that just now was a misunderstanding, okay? Don’t get the wrong idea like before.”
“…I won’t. It doesn’t matter what you do…got nothing to do with me. I don’t care at all!”
Though Mitsuki averted her face from him, her whole body only grew more conscious of Yuuya, making her feel more embarrassed than anything. The depths of her body felt hot, as sweat started to build up on her head.
“Then why did you run away like that?”
“I just thought it’d be bad if I bothered you two!”
“So you do have the wrong idea…You didn’t bother anything. I was just…being scolded by Yuki-nee.” Albeit unsure, Yuuya tried his best to clear up the situation.
Although Mitsuki thought to herself that the situation she witnessed didn’t exactly look like a scolding, but she kept that in for now.
“…Why are you being so desperate about this?! Like an idiot.”
“Of course I’d get desperate? I don’t want you to hate me any more than this.”
“?!” Mitsuki’s expression stiffened up.
See, that’s what I told you. He totally thinks you hate him now.
Hiyori audibly pouted her lips, as she spoke up inside Mitsuki’s head.
But…I just tried to keep you in check in case you grew more rampant again, Hiyori…It’s not like I hate him or anything, it’s just that it didn’t feel right going on that Love Quest thing…With any weird rumours being born as a result and all that…
Mitsuki wanted to properly explain the situation to Yuuya, but she was left unable knowing how to, her face was left in the 一 kanji. At the same time, she was surprised at how much she didn’t want Yuuya to have a misunderstanding like that. But, before she could think of a way to properly transmit her feelings, Yuuya let out a sigh, as he spoke up with a serious expression.
“—I won’t know if you don’t tell me, okay? Yuki-nee constantly keeps telling me how dense I am after all…”
“……”
Mitsuki kept her harsh glare, but wordless nodded along to Yuuya’s statement. After watching this reaction, he showed a bitter smile, and continued.
“If I did something bad, I’ll properly apologize for it, so don’t hold back and tell me. We’re family, right? Once there’s a problem, we can always count on each other.”
“…You say family, but I don’t really know what that means. I’ve always been doing everything myself, and I didn’t want to trouble my mother, who had her own share of problems.”
After listening to Mitsuki’s sour words, and pouting expression, he brought his face closer, and threw honest words at her.
“It might have worked out like that until now, but I’ll try my best as well. If you want me to do anything, I want you to tell me. I want to help you in any way I can.”
“……?!”
Yuuya’s face was right in front of Mitsuki, and his words forced her to swallow her breath.
H-His face…is way too close…his breath is hitting me…
If one of them moved forward just a small inch, they would end up kissing each other. Mitsuki’s heartbeat was starting to get more noisy, as she was unable to directly look him into the eye. Averting her gaze, she tried to move her body a bit further away from Yuuya. However, he continued to press her down, leaving her no room for escape. The moment she realized that Yuuya had complete reign over her freedom, confusion and panic filled her chest.
“No…ooo…”
A soft, seductive voice leaked out from Mitsuki’s lips.
“What’s wrong? Are you suffering again?!”
Yuuya pushed his face even closer, to which Mizuki could only heavily shake her head side to side.
Someone will see us…If Yukina-san comes by, she’ll get the wrong idea…Just thinking about it for a second would make you realize that, you idiot!
The more she panicked, the more her entire body grew sensitive. Then, when Mitsuki tried to escape again, Yuuya apparently had planned to finish this, as Yuuya’s one leg got wrapped up between both of Mitsuki. His kneecap ended up at Mitsuki’s crotch, and the second it got pushed a bit further, Mitsuki forcefully shut her eyes, as she let out a subdued scream.
“Kyaa…?!”
?! His knee…is hitting…
She had already been sensitive, but being closed in like this, Mitsuki’s panic heightened even further. She felt something tighten in the depths of her body, struggling to avert her face. The embarrassment continued to plagued her, her urges screaming at her to disappear right now. The place Yuuya’s knee was hitting burned up in a crazy heat.
“S-Stop…Let me…go…”
“You’re going to run away again, right?”
“I won’t…so…please…”
As Mitsuki had trouble forcing out the words, she tried her best to have Yuuya ease up the situation.
“……”
Although he was still a bit suspicious, seeing Mitsuki get teary-eyed, Yuuya lifted up his body.
“Haaaaa…Haaa…Uuu…”
Mitsuki formed a cross with arms as she hugged her shoulders, her entire body shaking. Since her body was still filled with stimulation and excitement, she couldn’t immediately push herself up.
“—Sorry. You okay?” Yuuya reached out towards her with his hand.
“……” While breathing heavily, Mitsuki took his hand, and pushed up her body.
Her hand was drenched with sweat, making her worry what Yuuya would think, but the body himself didn’t show any signs of paying it any mind, which aggravated her in its own right. Giving her a slight chop on the head, Yuuya spoke up again.
“And, why were you ignoring me again? Did I do something bad?”
In response to his words, Mitsuki just frantically shook her head side to side.
“Then, why?”
“…T-That’s…um…”
Mitsuki, this is your chance! Ask him about the Love Quest thing!
“…I keep telling you that it’s impossible…!”
Mitsuki quickly rejected Hiyori’s request, who was striking a fighting pose mid-air.
“Hm? What’s impossible?”
“N-Nothing.”
Since Yuuya couldn’t see Hiyori flying in the air next to me, it only made things more complicated. And, as Mitsuki was pondering how to talk her way out of this, Hiyori continued with an Really, grow some backbone!, as she jumped inside Mitsuki’s body. Because her body was now possessed by Hiyori, Mitsuki got pushed out, now being the one floating outside.
No! Hiyori, get out of my body!
Mitsuki tried her hardest to regain control of her own body, but Hiyori’s fighting spirit made it impossible.
“Onii-chan, I actually have something to ask of you~”
Having gotten full control of Mitsuki’s body, Hiyori grabbed both of Yuuya’s hands, looking up at him with a crazy serious expression.
“Y-Yeah?” Yuuya was visibly taken aback by Mitsuki’s sudden change in behaviour.
H-Hold on, Hiyori! Listen to me! I just said you can’t!
Even as Mitsuki protested with tears in her eyes, Hiyori paid that no heed, and just kept going.
“I always wanted to ask this…but I was too embarrassed…I’m sorry if that made it look like I was avoiding you.”
“…What, that’s what it was? You could have just told me.”
“Yeah, you’re right. Sorry for not being a cute little sister like I could be, Onii-chan.”
Not cute?! Well, I’m sorry, okay?! Also, I told you to stop calling him like that, didn’t I?! Don’t just use other people’s bodies!
Mitsuki tried her best to make Hiyori listen to her, with large droplets of tears dropping down, but no matter how much she screamed, her voice wouldn’t reach Yuuya while Hiyori had possession of her body.
“No, I don’t think you’re not cute or anything. But anyway, what’s this you meant to ask?”
Why is he suddenly so happy?! I don’t get it!
Giving a short sideways glance towards Mitsuki, as she complained in mid-air, Hiyori focussed on Yuuya, and spoke out her request.
“Well…I want you to come with me on the Love Quest for this school festival…Is that no good?”
?!
In the end, Mitsuki was unable to stop Hiyori in time. She held her head in her hands, and started complaining at Hiyori yet again.
This request is weird no matter how you think about it! What will you do if he got the wrong idea?!
Too afraid to hear Yuuya’s response, Mitsuki tightly closed off her ears with her hands. However, Yuuya just showed his usual smile, and nodded. In response, both Mitsuki’s eyes and mouth opened wide, as if she couldn’t believe it, and put her hands away in order to listen.
“What, that’s what it was about? I don’t think this is something to be embarrassed about?”
“I…wonder?”
“Yeah. I mean, Yuki-nee also invited me.”
“…Tch.”
Hiyori?! Don’t just click your tongue! I don’t hate Yukina-san or anything!
Mitsuki’s face grew even more red as she complained yet again, but Hiyori just stuck out Mitsuki’s tongue towards her.
“But, it’s pretty rare for you to ask me for something. I feel bad for Yuki-nee, but I guess I’ll walk around with you then, Mitsuki.”
“Eh?! Really?!”
“Yeah.”
“Yay~! Onii-chan, I love you~!”
Still in possession of Mitsuki’s body, Hiyori wrapped her hands around Yuuya’s neck, embracing him. Yet again, her lips formed into a ω form, as she rubbed her cheeks against Yuuya.
! W-What are you doing?!
Mitsuki’s embarrassment meter finally reached its limit. Since she reached her goal, Hiyori started to get a bit carried away, and relaxed herself, allowing Mitsuki to regain control of her own body.
Mitsuki, I just got to a good part! Don’t interrupt me!
Having returned to her normal ghost form, Hiyori tried jumping back into Mitsuki’s body, but this time she kept control of her body. However, Yuuya had no idea of this internal conflict happening, as he just showed a relieved smile.
“…So you finally said what you wanted, huh.”
“…A-As if I did! Idiot idiot idiot!” Mitsuki threw a harsh glare at Yuuya, forming a fist and hammered that on him.
“…W-What are you on about? Why am I an idiot now?”
“I’m calling you an idiot since you are one, what’s wrong with that?! You have to think about the people around you a bit more!”
“Eh?” A flabbergasted voice leaked from Yuuya’s mouth.
“…Do you even…understand the meaning of the Love Quest…?”
“Ahh, I do, yeah? I did look it up after Yuki-nee invited me.”
The second Mitsuki heard those words from Yuuya, her eyes opened as wide as they could.
N-No way?! So then…he knows about that jinx, and he still wants to walk around with me?!
Knowing Yuuya, she anticipated him to have no idea what the Love Quest was about, and just agreed to out on a whim. However, since that didn’t turn out to be the case, Mitsuki was left in chaos.
“That’s a joke, right?! What nerves do you have…” Her thought process came to a halt, and all she did was throw poisonous words at him.
Mitsuki didn’t even pay it any mind that her skirt grew wrinkly, as she formed fists with her hands, and glared at her own feet.
“Why do we need to hold back as family? It’s not something to be embarrassed about, right?”
“…Idiot! O-Of course it’s embarrassing!”
“Are you that embarrassed about it?”
“………”
Yuuya put both of his hands on Mitsuki’s shoulders, taking a deep glance at her expression.
“!”
Not wanting him to see how much she was blushing, she averted her face away from him.
“—You don’t want people to think that you’re a glutton?”
“…Huh?”
Clearly not having expected such words from Yuuya, Mitsuki frantically raised her head.
“You want the ‘One year free school cafeteria dessert’ pass that’s the first prize of the Love Quest, right?”
“………”
Mitsuki was completely overwhelmed with the situation, while Yuuya just smiled down at her, no evil intentions whatsoever. Once she had time to blink a few times, her thoughts finally caught up. It seemed as if Yuuya still had no idea what the jiny of the Love Quest was about. Rather, the second she realized that the misunderstanding even had great disrespect for Mitsuki, her anger was heightened ten-fold.
“Girls like sweet stuff after all~ I’m guessing that Yuki-nee was also aiming for this. Oh I know, if we manage to win, I’ll give her my free pass. Then there should be no problem even if I declined her invitation.”
“…ot.”
“Eh?”
“Idiot! Just how off of the truth can you be?! And don’t just call other people gluttons!”
Unable to quell her rage, Mitsuki reached out for Yuuya’s cheeks with both her hands, and gave them a good stretch.
“I don’t care anymore! I’m going home! Don’t follow me! Also, was it fine to leave Yukina-san alone in the classroom like that?”
“Ah…”
Yuuya was left alone on that spot, and Mitsuki dashed home, her shoulders bouncing up and down because of her heavy breathing.
As Mitsuki was walking down the hallway, heading for the shoe locker, Hiyori tried to soothe her.
“Really, Mitsuki. You didn’t have to get that angry, you know? This isn’t the first time that Onii-chan is off like that, right?”
“You’re not wrong about that, but it still is aggravating! Like he doesn’t understand a single thing, and even thinking I’m a glutton! He’s the worst!”
“Is that really that much of a misunderstanding?”
“Don’t call me a glutton as well!”
“Onii-chan always thinks that you’re lacking sweets whenever you’re in a bad mood, you know?”
“Eh?! N-No way?! What’s up with that…”
“You never realized that, when you’ve been avoiding him, the level of desserts went up?”
“Ah, now that you say it…”
Yesterday’s dessert had been Häagen-Dazs, an American ice cream. Remembering the few minutes when she was thoroughly enjoying that during her bath, Mitsuki’s facial expression relaxed ever so slightly.
“I really think that Onii-chan is always keep a close look at you, you know? Can you really talk badly about Onii-chan, when you don’t realize such stuff yourself?”
“W-What?! Don’t lump me in with him! I’m not that dense!”
Mitsuki crossed both her arms as she protested, but Hiyori just shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, either way, we got Onii-chan to walk around for the Love Quest with us~ I’m more than satisfied~”
“I’m not! What’s up with that?! You’re the worst, forcing me to say all that!”

Hiyori proceeded to rub Mitsuki on the head, being very happy with the results, but Mitsuki wasn’t quite satisfied yet, and puffed out her cheeks.
“Not really! We weren’t even fighting, so we didn’t make up either!”
