After Being Betrayed by My Girlfriend, I Kiss Her Little Sister - Chapter 29

Changing Atmosphere (3)

No matter how you look at it…that is definitely papa katsu, right?

(TN: the term papa katsu means sugar daddy)

I want to keep tailing them, but unfortunately, I received a Line message from Hina, so I don’t have the time to do it. But seriously, I never imagined Umi would go on a date with some older man in a place like that…and now, after having him buy her all sorts of things, she’s going to have dinner with him tonight? Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I still can’t believe it.

It’s shocking in so many ways, Umi…

“Kanata! Ahh~”

“W-What is that…?”

“Chicken cheese katsu!”

“Oh, that looks delicious!”

“Ahh~”

When I got to Hina’s house, Hina who is wearing an apron casually feeds me a bite of the chicken cheese katsu.

More imoprtantly…she looks incredibly cute in that apron.

We used to play house a lot when we were kids, so I thought I’d be used to it by now…but reality and play are completely different…

She’s truly beautiful…

Calm down—! We’re just childhood friends. That’s all there is to it, so just calm down!

Don’t think about it, Kanata.

“How is it?”

“It’s delicious! Actually, everything you make is always amazing, Hina.”

“Hehe, it’s because you always eat them so happily, Kanata. Seeing that face makes me want to get better at cooking without even realizing it…”

“Thanks, Hina. Ah, I bought your favourite cake, so let’s have it after dinner.”

“Uwaa! Thank you, Kanata!”

“Ugh—!”

Why does she always hug me so casually…?

And that smile…it’s just too overwhelming for me, please stop.

I mean, I all I did is buy Hina a cake, and yet she got so happy about it…I didn’t know. When I bought a cake for Umi, she didn’t say anything at all. Seeing Hina gets so happy over something so small…it makes me feel really happy too.

What is this feeling…?

“Let’s eat, Kanata!”

“Yeah.”

……

After finishing our meal, Hina goes straight into the bath.

Now that I finally have some alone time, I turn on the TV and start scrolling through my phone. Before I knew it, I open Umi’s social media as if it’s the most natural thing to do. Well, that old guy bought her a ridiculously expensive wallet today.

I’m sure—

“……”

As I thought, she posted it right away.

Umi left a comment saying ‘I got such a wonderful present♡’. Looking back at her previous posts, there are a lot of similar comments. Umi might have been doing this the whole time. So then, is her relationship with Saito just for fun? It’s getting more and more confusing.

What exactly is Umi trying to do…?

“Kanata, what are you doing…?”

“Uwaa! Y-You scared me…”

Hearing Hina’s voice from behind, I quickly hide my phone. She didn’t see it, right?

That really surprised me…I didn’t even hear her footsteps, it was really scary…

“I-I’m going to take a bath…!”

“Okay! I’ll prepare your change of clothes.”

“Thanks, Hina.”

Hina didn’t notice it, right? She didn’t see me looking at Umi’s social media, right…?

Thinking about it makes me even more anxious.

But there’s a chance Umi will start spreading weird rumours again, just like before. That’s why I need to gather evidence in case that happens. It would be really troublesome if I got found out. People might think that I’m weird, or it might look like I still have feelings for her. It would’ve been really bad in so many ways.

“Hah…I just want a normal high school life.”

After drying my hair, I decided to stop thinking about Umi.

I’m at Hina’s place now, and I already got the evidence I need.

“Hmm? This is a different loungewear from before. Oh well, whatever.”

When I walk into the living room, I see Hina sitting on the sofa, sipping her cocoa.

Ah, she made one for me too.

That kind of thing…it makes me really happy…!

“……!”

Just as I’m about to sit down on the sofa, something caught my eye—

Eh, Hina’s loungewear…? Why is she wearing the same loungewear as me…?

“What’s wrong, Kanata?”

“The same loungewear…”

“Ah, this? What do you think? Isn’t it cute!?”

“No, more importantly…why am I wearing the same loungewear as you…?”

“Fufufu! It’s a loungewear from my favourite brand! The fabric is super soft and comfy, so I secretly ordered one for Kanata too…but it would be embarrassing to suddenly bring out a matching loungewear. Hey…! Yesterday, you promised to make me happy, didn’t you!? I’ve always wanted to try this…matching loungewear. So…”

Why is Hina’s voice getting quieter and quieter?

I gently pat Hina’s head.

“I see…but this looks pretty expensive. How much is it?”

“It’s not that expensive, maybe around 10,000 yen?”

“10,000 yen…!? I-Is that so…”

Eh? 10,000 yen is not expensive for Hina…?

That gentle smile…I don’t get it at all! It’s as if her smile is saying ‘Oh, it’s only 10,000 yen, so I just bought it’.

Yeah, Hina is definitely rich.

“We should go into the bedroom soon…”

But at least she’s not wearing my shirts anymore, so that’s a relief.

Hina always wore my shirts, and since they are oversized, her underwear was almost visible all the time. That was seriously dangerous.

“Yeah…”

Then, without hesitation, Hina casually leads me to the bed, holding onto my hand.

“Hina…”

“Hmm? What’s wrong, Kanata?”

“Is it okay for you to sleep alone on the bed? I can just sleep on the floor…”

“S-So, does that mean…you hate me…?”

“Of course not! That’s not it at all! It’s just…it’s kind of embarrassing to be that close to you, you know?”

“So all this time…you have just been playing with me, Kanata? That’s so cruel…Kanata…”

Hina suddenly burst into tears as she says so, leaving me in a total panic.

In a situation like this, the guy should be the one to apologize first…right!?

Actually, why is she even crying!? I don’t get it at all…!

“H-Hina, don’t cry! I-I’ll do anything, just please stop crying…!”

“R-Really…?”

“Yeah, I’m sorry! I’ll do anything, so please don’t cry anymore.”

“Okay! Then, let’s sleep together! Kanata!”

Hina smiles brightly as she says so. I was fooled—!

I never thought Hina would actually deceive me like that…

“Hehe, you said you would do anything, right Kanata?”

“Let’s pretend that never happened…”

“No!”

“Yeah, yeah…seriously. Let’s sleep together!”

And so, tonight too…I end up sleeping next to Hina.

But seriously, with Hina’s warmth and her sweet scent, there’s no way I can actually fall asleep.

On top of that, having a girl this close to me makes me way too nervous. This whole situation is getting a bit dangerous.

Calm down…calm down, Miyauchi Kanata!

Hina is right next to me, so calm down! Don’t think about perverted things—!

“Kanata.”

“Y-Yeah…?”

“Kanata…do you still like Umi?”

“Eh? Why do you ask?”

Hina who is hugging me tightly, speaks in a small voice.

“Umi’s social media…”

“Ah…”

“When I got out of the bath, I suddenly felt like playing a little prank on you. So, I quietly snuck up behind you…and I saw you looking at Umi’s social media. Could it be that…”

“No, no, no! It’s not like that. I don’t like Umi at all anymore…”

“……”

Crap, so Hina did notice after all…

I can feel Hina’s body trembling as she hugs me.

“Am I…not enough for you?”

“……”
