Although She's a Beautiful Student Council President Who Maintains Her Coolness Towards Everyone, She Wants to Act Spoiled and Lovesick Around Him, Who is Misunderstood by Everyone as a Delinquent - Chapter 66: Extra (3)
“Welcome home, Shizuku-neesan.”
“Thank you, Rin. …Ara, it’s impressive to see you working so hard on your studies.”
As evening approached and Shizuku returned home from Riku’s house, she approached her sister, Rinka, who was studying in the living room.
“I can’t afford to lose to you, Shizuku-neesan. I’m determined to get strong enough to enter Kanrin National Public University like you.”
“Fufu, you’re such a reliable little sister. But don’t push yourself too hard, okay? You still have plenty of time.”
Overworking in studies could often lead to a disrupted life balance, causing colds or poor physical condition. Rinka is still in middle school. While it’s important to plan for the future, there’s no need to push herself too hard just yet.
“I know. But… I bet you’re telling Riku-san the exact opposite, aren’t you?”
“Well, I can’t help it… Riku-kun absolutely needs to pass, after all…”
“Based on what I’ve seen, you’re head over heels for him. It’s really endearing.”
“Oh, stop teasing your sister.”
Shizuku playfully poked Rinka, who spoke with a stiff tone due to her upbringing. Despite that, their close relationship was clear to see.
“Anyway… you look very lively today, Shizuku-neesan. Did you do something adult-like with Riku-san?”
“What are you talking about…? There’s no way we’d do something like that… Wait, we haven’t even changed the subject…”
“This is something I absolutely must tell you.”
With that preface, Rinka recounted an incident that happened a few days prior.
“…A few days ago, when you were making such loud noises with Riku-san in your room, it became obvious to me and the servants that you were engaged in ‘that’ kind of activity.”
“W-What? N-N-No way… Y-Y-You’re just teasing me, right?”
Riku and Shizuku’s relationship had been approved by their parents.
Their close relationship allowed them to freely enter each other’s homes without any objections, and they were even warmly welcomed.
“It’s true. I don’t tease without evidence.”
“Ugh… I don’t want to hear it…”
“Well, you see… based on that, here’s the main issue: one of the servants tried to barge into your room without permission. They thought Riku was bullying you.”
“What… Why…”
Servants, as they were called, were employees of the household. It was unacceptable for them to enter Shizuku’s room without permission, especially given her noble lineage.
“As I mentioned earlier, they heard your voice during the act and misunderstood that Riku-san was bullying you. You were saying things like ‘No,’ ‘Stop,’ and ‘Don’t do it anymore,’ as if you were pleading for help.”
“…”
“I managed to stop the servant because of your sultry voice, Shizuku-neesan, but… well…”
Though Rinka tried to maintain a neutral expression while recounting the story, her face flushed more and more as she continued. Considering the content of her tale, it was only natural for her to feel nervous and embarrassed while telling her sister.
“I’m starting to feel embarrassed myself…”
“I’m sorry… I’ll be more careful next time… I promise…”
“Um, I have to ask… is it really that pleasurable? …You know, doing ‘that’…”
“Well, it… it is…”
“I see…”
An awkward atmosphere enveloped the sisters.
Shizuku cleared her throat to break the silence and maintain her dignity as the elder sister.
“….Rin, I understand your curiosity about this, but make sure to do it only with someone you truly love…. Promise me that. Now that our family’s traditions have changed…, you have the right to choose your own partner, don’t you?”
The fact that Shizuku and Riku’s relationship was acknowledged meant that the family tradition of arranged marriages was also abolished.
Rinka, being the younger sister, now has the opportunity to choose her future partner as well.
“I understand that… That’s why I envy you, Shizuku-neesan.”
“Envy? Why?”
“You’ve managed to catch such a wonderful man like Riku-san. It’s not often you come across someone like him.”
“Having my boyfriend praised by my sister is kind of ticklish, isn’t it?”
As Shizuku twirled her sparkling silver hair with her hand, trying to hide her embarrassment, Rinka struck with a sudden jab.
“I wish I could date someone like Riku-san too.”
“Wha-! Even if you are my sister, I won’t give up Riku-kun, okay!? He is mine and I won’t hand him over to anyone….!”
Shizuku, who usually appeared cool, was now flustered as she tried to protect her relationship with Riku. To her, Riku, was her precious partner and boyfriend, and she had no intention of giving him away.
“Ufufu… Just kidding. Seeing you acting cute like this is enough to satisfy me”
“Geez… You’re terrible…”
“I’m sorry, Shizuku-neesan. Now, I’m going to get a drink. Do you want anything?”
As the conversation came to a close, Rinka offered to get a drink, but Shizuku stopped her.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re studying, so let me get it. What would you like?”
“Thank you. In that case, I’d like some tea, please.”
“Alright.”
Shizuku nodded and headed to the refrigerator. Rinka watched her sister’s retreating figure, which seemed to radiate an aura of happiness like never before.
“I wish I could find someone like Riku-san too…”
Watching Shizuku, Rinka murmured her true feelings.
“Did you say something, Rin?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
With that, Rinka smiled gently and shook her head.
“Be happy, Shizuku-neesan…”
And in her heart, she sent her sincere support.
