My Little Sister Doesn’t Like Being Teased

“Hahaha, I knew Akiho would think so.”

“You’re really cold in class Sakuraba-kun, it’s quite surprising.”

“I know right? When we were in middle school, this guy used to go and go back home from school with his little sister every day.”

“Hey, Hojo…”

“What is it Matsukaze? Even the Sakuraba siblings don’t mind when I talk about it.”

As Haruta expected, Hojo interrupts them. It’s as if he can no longer bear to hear their bluntness.

Haruta didn’t say anything about it.

Because Haruta knows if he says anything unnecessary, these people will only tease them more.

If it were just Haruta, he could easily argue with them, but Fuyu is with Haruta right now.

Haruta doesn’t want his little sister to see his rough side.

“Well, it’s gross, but—”

Suddenly, Akiho opens her mouth again.

“If your sister is this cute, isn’t it only natural to be a siscon?”

“……”

All of the girls and Hojo quieted down at once.

Perhaps it’s because Akiho’s tone was surprisingly strong.

“Hmm? Did I say something funny?”

“N-No, not at all…”

Since everyone around him is silent, Haruta has no choice but to answer.

“Well, it might be more gross that he’s being a siscon because his sister is this cute.”

“Tsukuyomi, are you following us?”

“What? I’m just saying what’s on my mind.”

Akiho sips her coffee.

Haruta only knew that Akiho is cute and she joins the light music club, but apparently, she also has a pretty straight forward personality.

“But well, you shouldn’t make fun of people’s relationships, right? Nobody wants to talk about important matters in their family, do they? Even I have some things about my family that I can’t tell anyone, but if you want to know about it, I can tell you. I wonder how will you react.”

“……”

The atmosphere becomes heavier and heavier.

But it seems that Akiho can’t read the atmosphere at all.

“W-Well, we’re here to refuel our energy! Let’s go to the food court, food court!”

Matsukaze said so while leading Hojo and the girls to walk away.

For some reason, Akiho remains standing still.

“I’m sorry, Sakuraba-kun, little sister-san, for disturbing you two.”

“…it’s fine, I’m used to it. Hojo is not a bad person, he just has a terrible personality.”

“I’m sure that’s what a bad person means.”

“Well, I guess so. I’m just used to be called a siscon by Hojo. I’m sorry for getting you involved in something strange, Tsukuyomi-san.”

“I’m an only child, so it’s kind of fun to see people that have siblings.”

“Well, talk about admiration.”

Haruta chuckles and Akiho laughs.

“I don’t admire you two, you can trust me because I can’t lie.”

“Tsukuyomi-san should learn to lie a little.”

Haruta is curious about the things Tsukuyomi-san can’t tell anyone about her family, but he feels it’s inappropriate to ask her about it.

“Should I…? Well, I’ll try, but you know what?”

“What?”

Akiho glances meaningfully not at Haruta but at Fuyu.

Fuyu is surprised at Akiho’s glance.

“I have an image of Sakuraba-kun that he’s big and he only talks to big people.”

“Well, I don’t think you’re wrong, but it’s not like I don’t talk to others as well.”

Haruta is almost always with Matsukaze in the classroom.

Haruta has barely spoken to Akiho, so it’s not strange for her to have an image like that for Haruta.

“My image of you has changed, now I’m seeing you as someone who has an incredibly cute sister.”

“That’s your image of me? Well, at least it’s better than you’re think of me as a siscon.”

They both laugh at each other.

“Oh, yes. I’m Tsukuyomi Akiho.”

“Ah, I’m Sakuraba Fuyu. Nice to meet you.”

“Ehh, what a nice name. Hey, I’ll—give you this.”

Akiho takes a small piece of paper out of her bag and hands it to Fuyu.

“What is this? Oh, a business card?”

“That’s right. I’ll give it to Sakuraba-kun.”

“I’ll gladly accept it.”

Chuckling, haruta accepts the business card.

Haruta has never received a business card before, he never thought he would get it from a girl from his class.

The name ‘AKIHO’ is written on the business card, and there’s her name ‘Akiho Tsukuyomi written in pink kanji next to it.”

The business card itself is printed, but the kanji is handwritten.

“You handwrote your twitter and Instagram username… as well as your line ID?”

“I don’t give out my usernames and line ID to anyone. I handwrite those things when I give them to someone I know I can trust.”

“You also wrote your U cube URL here. Tsukuyomi-san, are you a u-cuber?”

(I think U cube is Youtube)

“You can call me Akiho. Please follow my U cube channel if you’d like to Fuyu-san. I only have about 300 followers.”

Akiho shyly smiles.

Haruta also watches U cube, and he knows that 300 followers aren’t a lot.

“I’m sure Tsukuyomi—Akiho-san will gain more followers in the future…what kind of videos do you make?”

“I basically do musical stuffs, like these.”

Akiho taps the guitar case on her shoulder.

“I usually do some song covers. I’m not good at singing in front of people, so I decided to post videos on U cube, but my followers aren’t growing. Should I show my b***s or something?”

Akiho taps her chest with a sigh.

It is a secret topic among the boys, Akiho has quite large b*****s despite of her petite body.

Right now, Haruta’s class are doing athletics for physical education.

The sight of Akiho running with her large b*****s bouncing around attracts the attention of the boys.

As a matter of fact, Haruta also took some glances at Akiho.

“Sakuraba-kun usually looks at my b*****s, too, right?”

“I wasn’t looking at it, I was just glancing…!”

“Onii-chan…”

“Oh, I can see your sister’s faith in you crumbling.”

“……”

Haruta is shocked by his little sister’s jealous eyes.

It seems that Haruta’s relationship with her sister which has been built up over the years, only takes moments to crumble.

“Just kidding. I don’t really care if you look at them or not. If you feel bad about it, follow my channel.”

Akiho grins and waves her hand as she leaves.

She goes in a different direction from Matsukaze and the others, perhaps she’s planning to go back home alone.

“…what a cute girl, right?”

“…I didn’t know she was that quirky.”

“You didn’t know because all you saw is her b***s.”

“What?”

“Well, Onii-chan is a boy too after all. I’m an understanding little sister.”

“…that’s good to know.”

Haruta would never recover if his own sister called him a creep.

Even though Fuyu said that, it’s not like Fuyu doesn’t care about it.

She just probably doesn’t want to know much about her brother’s sexual preferences.

“Let’s go get some food.”

Haruta thinks it would be better if he lets his little sister eat her favourite sushi. Haruta is concerned about his allowance.

But if it makes Fuyu’s mood better, it’s a small price to pay.
