Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 4 volume 7

I wonder if Enami-san has become a friend to me. I talk to him more often than my closest friends, Saito and Shindo. His face when he smiled was better than his cold face. I had the impression that she spoke more seductively than silently.

This strange relationship continued until Friday.

"Good morning."

"Ah, good morning."

Morning greetings.

"I didn't understand the previous lesson, so teach me."

"Well, it's okay."

After class. Enami-san came to my seat and said,

"–Lay's home together."

Then, after school. He stood in front of the main gate.

In the end, I felt like I had been with Enami-san all week. Gradually, I came to take it as a matter of course. Until last week, he was shrouded in a veil of darkness. But little by little, we became ordinary friends.

I went home, changed my clothes, and went to the living room.

After cleaning the house, cooking dinner, and cleaning, I noticed a notification on my phone.

Could it be Enami-san?

But when I look at the screen, I see someone else's name on the screen.

Shiori Fujisaki: Is now a good time to talk?

That's unusual, I thought. I have exchanged channel IDs with Fujisaki as well, but we rarely communicate via Line.

I wash the kitchen cloth with water and dry it on a small hanger. I wiped my hands with a towel.

Naoya Ookusu: I'm fine now. But what's wrong?

I wondered if it was about the midterms. Then, I received a message from Fujisaki.

Shiori Fujisaki: I have a question for you.

Naoya Ookusu: What's wrong?

He had asked me before about something he didn't understand before the exam. So when I looked at those words, I selfishly thought that it was the same thing.

But today, it's different.

Shiori Fujisaki: There are big rumors circulating about Enami-san, did something happen?

Naoya Ookusu: Rumors?

Shiori Fujisaki: Yes. ...... Maybe you're dating, like that.

I can't believe my eyes. Me and Enami-san are dating? That can't be true, can it?

Naoya Ookusu: No, no, that's wrong.

–We have been seen by many people when we came home together. That's why I think there must be some rumours. But I can't believe they really thought we were dating.

Naoya Ookusu: You know Enami-san's personality, right? Do you think it's possible for him to suddenly fall in love with someone?

Immediately reply.

Shiori Fujisaki: I think not. But looking at you two lately, it seems like you guys are getting along very well.

The fingers stopped suddenly.

Shiori Fujisaki: When Enami-san was with Ookusu-kun, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

More messages are arriving.

Shiori Fujisaki: Ookusu-kun seems to be having fun too.

I'm appalled.

I look happy ......? Is that what people around me think? For me, I just feel like I have one more friend.

Naoya Ookusu: We just talk normally. What's up with that, all of a sudden?

Shiori Fujisaki: Sorry if I bother you. But I'm really curious.

Naoya Ookusu: No.

Shiori Fujisaki: Maybe you are studying?

Naoya Ookusu: Not yet.

Even Fujisaki, who knows what happened, is suspicious. If that's the case, I wonder what the other classmates who don't know the situation are thinking at all.

Naoya Ookusu: Surprisingly, we fit in while talking. That'sthat's all.

Naoya Ookusu: I think she's pretty, but why?

Shiori Fujisaki: It's nothing.

Maybe Fujisaki is the one who is the most suspicious that Enami-san and I are dating. No matter what I say, it seems that suspicion will never go away.

Naoya Ookusu: How was your study?

I switched topics. The reply came a moment later.

Shiori Fujisaki: It's going well. Because we decided to compete, right?

Naoya Ookusu: Yes, I think so. We listen to the guy who wins, right?

Shiori Fujisaki: Yes.

I won't lose, whether we compete or not. So I won't take a shortcut.

Shiori Fujisaki: I will never lose.

These are very powerful words from Fujisaki.

I don't know why he's asking me to compete now, but he might have a reason. But what does he want me to do for him?

Naoya Ookusu: Let's do our best for each other.

Fujisaki's back.

Shiori Fujisaki: Yes.

There, the conversation stopped. None of us said anything, perhaps because of our sense of duty to learn.

I turned off my phone screen. I checked the timer on the rice cooker before leaving the kitchen.

I had to take a shower and then study.

The moment I stepped out of the living room, I almost bumped into Sayaka, who had just come out of the bathroom.

"Oh sorry."

"Hm."

Sayaka walked past me and started up the stairs. But when he was halfway, he stopped.

"What's wrong?"

".....my annoying brother, congratulations on the arrival of your spring."

"...... Are you talking about Enami-san, by any chance?"

Sayaka nodded. I guess it's a rumor that goes beyond the school year. Enami-san is famous, right?

"It's wrong. I'll tell you before. "

"'Aren't you guys dating? My annoying sister should have confessed to him. "

"Confess? Never is."

Apparently, there have been a lot of rumors circulating.

"If you're not dating, why are you going home with that beautiful girl?"

"I don't know either."

I explained what had happened so far, without mentioning the sermon. But he couldn't believe it right away. He listened to me with an indescribable expression.

"......Whatever it was, if this continued, they would think that big brother and pretty girl were lovers. I don't know why they asked me how the two of you started dating"

"I'm sorry about that. We're not together."

"Is that so."

I tried to leave, saying that I would shower for now.

However, my sister followed up with more words.

"There's one more thing I want to talk to you about."

"What?"

I turned around and saw a serious expression on Sayaka's face.

"I met someone who was my sister's annoying friend, named Yamazaki, today."

My feet stopped moving.

It was at this moment that I completely froze
