Betraying My Perfect and Beautiful Childhood Fiancée, I Fell in Love With My Devilish and Naughty Older Sister - Chapter 1 - True Love and Childhood Friend

Chapter 1 – True Love and Childhood Friend

True love is like a ghost.

Everyone on earth talks about it, but few have ever seen it…

It is said to be a quote from the French philosopher La Rochefoucauld.

I think it’s true. No one believes in such false words as “true love”, not now and not in the past.

But then I think… If someone has really found their “true love”…

Could they sacrifice everything for its ghost?

At least I sacrificed everything.

Because I fell in love with a girl called Chiharu Maria.

She was a little older, she liked to tease me, was very cute, and told me she loved me, and also—She was my half-sister.

The “true love” that I found was something no one in the world would recognize.

My story—Hashiro Hayato’s story—began when I fell in love with Maria.

“Ha. Ya. To. Kun♪”

The voice calling out to me was so beautifully clear and lively.

I turned around and there she was, a perfect, beautiful girl.

At a schoolyard after school. Amidst the cherry blossom trees in April.

She has long, glossy, beautiful black hair and is dressed in a black blazer uniform. Her body is rather petite, but she is as stylish as a model.

Her face is as pretty as an idol’s, and her striking blue eyes are sparkling as she gazes straight at me.

“Aika…”

I called her name and her face lit up. She looked up at me shyly and crossed her arms behind her back.

“Hayato-kun. Let’s go home together♪”

Aika whispered, her face turning red as if she was a little embarrassed.

Aika is really cute. She has a good personality, and on top of that, her grades are in the single digits in her grade, and she’s good at sports. She’s only in her first year of high school, but she’s sure to be the next student council president.

She was born into a very prestigious family, the Amahashi family, and is the daughter of an executive at a large conglomerate. On top of that, she has been practicing the piano since she was a child and is a prodigy.

Aika has no flaws. And such a beautiful girl is giving me such a lovely expression.

A normal boy would probably be pleased.

I’ve known her since I was born. So when I was in junior high school and even in primary school, the boys around me were often envious and jealous of me.

However—I was suffocating. She’s so perfect that it’s hard for me to be with her.

There’s no way Aika would know what I’m feeling in my heart.

Aika giggled.

“Since I entered high school, I didn’t get to spend much time with Hayato-kun. I felt lonely~”

“It hasn’t even been a week since we started high school.”

I shrugged.

The school Aika and I attend is Meibunkan School, a prestigious preparatory school in Nagoya.

Since it’s a combined junior and senior high school, there’s not much of a change even when becoming a high school student.

Aika tilted her head. Her translucent black hair swayed softly.

“But we are engaged. I think it’s only natural that we should always be together.”

Aika declared in a clear voice.

That’s right.

I—Hashiro Hayato, the eldest son of the Hashiro’s Group head, and Amahashi Aika, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Amahashi conglomerate, were predestined fiances chosen by our parents.

In the middle of the 21st century, in the year 2048, it may seem strange to still have an engagement.

But that is normal in Hashiro and Amahashi’s household.

And what’s more problematic is that—Aika accepted the engagement as a matter of course and planned to marry me.
