Believing She Has Been Reincarnated into a Baseball Game, My Little Sister Is Aiming for the Koshien, While I Give It My All to Keep Her from Finding out That It’s Actually an Ntr Game - Chapter 14

“Seriously, you should’ve consulted with me about that kind of thing beforehand… It was so embarrassing…”

“Sorry…”

I mean, it’s embarrassing, right? Having that kind of meeting just between the two of us.

At night, after finishing grueling training, returning home, having dinner, and bathing, all that’s left is to sleep.

Technically, I should be the one doing the household chores, but Riko insists on doing them herself, letting me take advantage of her kindness. It feels like I’m competing with Maika over the household tasks.

As usual, my sisters are too accommodating. I’ll definitely bring them to Koshien. After that, I’ll work hard as an older brother…

However, setting aside time for a secret meeting with Maika in my room is incredibly convenient.

Right now, Riko is busy washing my uniform in the bathroom. She’ll probably take a bath afterward.

“Well, I understand what you’re trying to do, Kyugo. I do think it was necessary.”

Maika, sitting next to me on the bed, mutters, mostly to herself, but it’s essentially directed at me, so I naturally respond.

“Inadequate?”

“Oh, did you hear that?”

“I made sure you could.”

“It’s just… I don’t know why, but it seems like the rumor has spread, not just within the team, but throughout the entire school…”

“…Wait, you mean, the rumor that I’m treating you like a casual fling?”

“Yeah. It’s the worst.”

“Seriously…”

Well, yeah, but that sounds about right. It wouldn’t be unusual for me to walk around school with my arm around Maika’s waist, laughing crudely.

Still, did she gather that much information just during her first morning back at school? As my former sister, she’s really sharp.

“Can’t be helped. Let’s deal with it starting tomorrow. Before this rumor reaches Riko, a first-year, we need to shut it down.”

“Ugh… I really hate this. It’s so annoying.”

Maika covers her face with her hands and looks down, though she doesn’t seem truly upset. Even with her face hidden, I can tell she’s grinning.

“I hate it, but I guess I have no choice but to reintroduce you to everyone at school. ‘Kyugo and Maika are officially dating. We’re very serious about our incredibly pure and wholesome relationship. It won’t negatively impact baseball—in fact, it’ll make me a better player through the power of pure love. Maika is incredibly important to me, the only one in the world for me.'”

“Wow. Quite the memory. So, you’ll collapse every time?”

“Yeah. I’ll collapse every time.”

“I see…”

If that’s the case, I’ll just have to carry her. Like a princess.

“Sorry for troubling you with this.”

“Well, I’m used to it. It was the same in our previous world.”

Maika looks up, her expression surprisingly calm, though her ears and cheeks are flushed.

“The same? Like a real-life NTR game?”

“No, actually, in middle school and high school in our original world, we were always rumored to be a couple, like siblings. All the time.”

“What?”

Seriously, What is That?

“What? What is that? That’s news to me. How can you just casually drop such a bombshell, my (former) sister and now fake girlfriend?”

“Ugh… I really don’t get why people see us that way. I mean, I have no intentions like that at all. It’s really troubling. It’s not like we’re all lovey-dovey, but I guess that’s how it seems to everyone around us.”

“Hold up. I’m still processing the shock… So, the reason I wasn’t popular was because of that rumor?”

“The reason you weren’t popular was because you were obsessed with baseball. Honestly, isn’t that better than the rumors? In this world, being seen as a couple isn’t really a big deal, I guess. It’s annoying, but not a problem. After all, we’re not siblings anymore. No blood relation. It’s not immoral.”

Even if you emphasize that so much… And even if you’re leaning against my shoulder like that… And even if you have the same floral scent as before…

We’re on the bed, you know? Let’s stop, okay? I can only go as far as stroking your hair. Seriously, let me at least do that.

“Mmm…”

“Don’t make that face or sound so suggestive. I’m telling you, my testosterone levels are off the charts right now. If I can’t stop—hey, by the way, what did you do with my bag yesterday?”

“Kyugo, we shouldn’t be doing this right now. We have to get to Koshien in just four months.”

“You can’t just switch to serious mode like that. What did you do with my bag yesterday?”

“After watching the first day’s practice, how did you analyze it?”

“What did you do with my bag yesterday?”

“There must have been a lot of problems you noticed, but we can’t fix everything at once. Time is limited. We need to prioritize.”

Maika, with her incredibly focused gaze, hammers me with perfectly logical points. The cozy atmosphere quickly shifts to a work mode.

As much as I appreciate it, it would’ve been dangerous to continue like that. No brakes. So seriously, what did you do with my bag?

“You’re right. There are tons of issues. They’re all pretty bad. But the biggest, or rather, the root problem is the facilities. They’re just inadequate.”

That’s just how it is. A weak school like ours can’t have the same facilities as a powerhouse. It might even make the NTR scenes more sinister, setting them in a dark, dilapidated setting.

“Well, I think we can compromise on baseball equipment and field facilities, but we need to address the training equipment first.”

Netora Academy’s baseball team is going to Koshien on muscle—no question. We can’t compromise on strength training.

“Exactly… Nineteen players and only two power racks is just too inefficient.”

“Yeah. We can’t waste precious practice time waiting around. Plus, the lack of 1.25 kg plates is a real problem. We don’t need machines, but we urgently need more power racks, barbells, plates, and benches.”

Given that the academy is in the countryside, at least there’s no shortage of space in the training room.

“No, no, no, you say that like it’s obvious, Kyugo. But we can’t do anything without money. I get that strength training is a priority, but there are things we just can’t achieve through effort alone. Sometimes, you have to accept what’s impossible.”

“We can make it happen.”

“You’re so confident… Are you planning to use the fact that this is an NTR game to your advantage? …Right, that figures.”

Maika sighed, and this time, it seemed truly heartfelt.

I can’t help it. I’ll use whatever I can.

All for the promise I made to Riko!
