"Since tests are over, it's time to play!"
Kouyou continued to act as if he never confessed to me. I was a little relieved, and at the same time amazed on how Kouyou still seemed the same.
"Well, I think Naru doesn't want to play with you. Right, Naru?"
"…Maybe."
Well. Nevertheless, nothing has happened since my secret got out…
"Did something happen, Naru?"
"Aah, Moritsan confessed to me…… eh?"
"Ah."
I said it!?
I accidentally said it while thinking of something else…
Is it because I didn't think that it wasn't much of a secret?
I already told Yunchan after all.
Crap! This is extremely awkward!
I put my hands together, gesturing that I was sorry.
"Kouyou?"
"W-Wait, Riku!? There are various things going on…"
"Why didn't you tell me!"
Ahh, he's angry at that.
Well, an older brother is someone like that.
"T-That's… my bad."
So, what happened as a result?"
"I was rejected."
When he said it once again, I felt like I did something wrong.
Then, Nii-san approached Kouyou and got really close.
P-Perhaps violence!?
You can't do that, Nii-san!
As he went in front of Kouyou, he left his hand on Kouyou's shoulder.
As expected, they're best friends.
Nii-san went to cheer up Kouyou, right.
Then, Nii-san said something nice…
"Kouyou… serves you right!!"
…or not.
Isn't that pretty harsh, Nii-san!?
"Huhhh? Aren't you supposed to give words of consolement there?"
"I did not plan on acting kind to the imouto thief. I'm not such an easygoing person. Now, Kouyou, decide."
"O-On what, Riku-san?"
"To commit sudoku, or to be killed!"1
Wao, this time Nii-san's face looks scarier than usual.
Nii-san's expressionless expression somehow looks scarier than usual for some reason.
"Save me, Naru-chan! This time is bad; it's a bad face! I'm going to dieeeeee!! Save meeeeeeee!!"
Kouyou was dragged outside before long.
Nii-san, this time it's my fault, so I will prevent it with all my might!
"T-Thanks Naru-chan."
"No, this time is my fault, so I'll apologize again."
When I found him, he had already become a worn-out corpse… Kouyou, I was not able to stop him soon enough!
It's been a long time since I had bolted outside with such speed.
"Aah, it's fine it's fine, part of it was my faultas well. I'm going to go soon."
Ah, even though he's about to die, he still can't go home yet.
"Kouyou.:
Nii-san called Kouyou.
I wonder if he's fine.
"W-What is it, Riku?"
"Talk to me first next time."
Nii-san truly isn't honest with Kouyou.
I wonder if I was like this in my previous life…
"…Sorry."
"Alright, let's go back."
Thus, on the way home, the same conversation from before started to unfold.2
Translation may be a bit inaccurate hereIf you forgot what happened in the beginning of the chapter and too lazy to scroll up, they were talking about what to do since midterms were over.
