Betraying My Perfect and Beautiful Childhood Fiancée, I Fell in Love With My Devilish and Naughty Older Sister - Chapter 4 - A Fiance Who Is Not a Good Girl

Chapter 4 – A Fiance Who Is Not a Good Girl

“What the hell is going on…”

The idea of Chiharu-senpai becoming my stepsister is too sudden for me. However, I’m used to it, as there are girls who have been adopted by the Hashiro family as instruments of political marriages.

But even though they are my stepsisters, they’re younger than me.

Still, she was a beautiful person… Meibunkan is a prestigious school, and there are plenty of young ladies who are pretty, but Chiharu-senpai has a different kind of beauty.

Even though it was bright, it was somehow dangerous and fragile…

With that thought in my mind, I forgot about Aika’s existence.

Aika let go of my arm and came around in front of me.

Then she put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks.

“Do you like older people, Hayato-kun?” ,,

“Huh!? N-No, that’s not true…”

“Really?”

“Yes, really.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

After saying that, Aika looked up at me, wanting to be spoiled.

Seeing Aika’s expectant expression, I knew what she wanted.

I’m sure she wants a hug. Aika often wants to be spoiled like that.

But I can’t live up to that expectation. Because I’m not sure if I really like Aika.

Aika looked a little dissatisfied, after a while, she suddenly hugged me tightly.

She smelled soft and sweet. Even sweeter than Chiharu-senpai.

Aika clung to me so close that I could feel her body temperature.

“I only have Hayato-kun, so please don’t make me worry too much, okay?”

I didn’t understand why Aika was so obsessed with me.

It feels strange to say this about myself, but I have decent looks, reasonable academic abilities, and some social skills. I believe I’m in the higher ranks of the class hierarchy. I’ve even taken piano lessons and participated in a prestigious competition.

However, that’s all a matter of relative perspective.

Aika is different. Aika is the real thing. No matter what she does, she’s the best.

If Aika is first in the grade, I’m second.

Aika is the most beautiful and popular girl in school. Me, on the other hand,  I don’t stand out so much.

Since I was no match for Aika, who won the competition, I stopped playing the piano when I was in middle school.

In short, I am a degraded version of Aika in every way. What Aika deserves is someone who surpasses her in some way—Someone who has something that Aika does not have.

That’s what I think. And I’m not the right man for it.

If I were to talk about this kind of thing to my younger sister, she would just laugh and say, “Nii-san, you’re overthinking.”

Aika let go of me after a while, as if satisfied.

And she looked straight at me.

“That person is a bad person. Hayato-kun.”

“That Chiharu-senpai?”

“Yes. She’s a very, very bad person. That’s why—stay away from her.”

“Well… It’s rare for Aika to speak ill of others.”

“Does Hayato-kun think I’m a nasty woman?”

Aika looked up at me with a gaze that seemed to be gauging my expression. I quickly shook my head in a panic.

“I’m not blaming you or anything. If Aika says there’s a reason, then there must be a reason. I just—thought it was unusual.”

Aika is a kind-hearted young lady, almost to the point of being a bit too naive. She never speaks ill of her family or classmates.

And such Aika is expressing a blatant dislike.

I became more and more interested in Chiharu-senpai.

Aika looked down.

“I’m…not the good girl that Hayato-kun thinks I am. I can’t be well-behaved when Hayato is involved.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want to give Hayato-kun to anyone.”

Aika said so clearly.

If only Aika had told me everything she knew at that time… If only Aika had told me what she meant when she said “I only have Hayato-kun.”

—I might never have fallen in love with my sister.
