I became the boyfriend of the school's madonna, who had turned down numerous confessions, but somehow, without realizing it, I wasn't just playing a role anymore - Chapter 140

Episode 140: The Older Sister Is Still Strong

“……”

Misaki puffed out her cheeks in frustration but ultimately stayed silent, obeying Sasagawa-sensei’s words.

When I tried to move my hand away from her head to give her space to think, she quickly grabbed it, as if to say, “Keep petting me!”

Even though she was sulking, she still wanted affection.

While I continued to gently stroke her hair, she remained quiet, deep in thought.

Then—her eyes widened in realization.

She had finally understood the situation.

“Onee-chan staying over… that means…!”

Misaki looked up at me with hopeful anticipation.

She was so easy to read—always honest about her desires.

“No matter what I say, Kokoa isn’t going to leave Sasagawa-sensei’s side.”

As her older brother, it was a bit disheartening, but whenever Sasagawa-sensei was around, Kokoa clung to her without hesitation.

Of course, that meant Kokoa would choose to sleep and bathe with Sasagawa-sensei.

And if that happened, there was no way Sasagawa-sensei and I would be sleeping together.

Which meant… I would be free—to spend time with Misaki.

She had already known this deep down.

After all, that was exactly why she had tried to bring me and Kokoa over to Sasagawa-sensei’s house in the first place.

…Not that this meant I could take a bath with Misaki or anything.

“Onee-chan, you can stay over!”

Now that she had put all the pieces together, Misaki’s expression completely changed, breaking into a radiant smile as she eagerly welcomed her sister.

Her sudden shift in attitude was so blatant that even Sasagawa-sensei couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.

Meanwhile, Kokoa nodded in satisfaction, as if everything had gone exactly as she had hoped.

In a way, Misaki had narrowly avoided disaster.

At least now, Kokoa’s opinion of her wouldn’t drop.

In fact, she might even have gained points as a “reasonable older sister.”

“There’s an open room, so I’ll show you to it.”

“And I’ll be in Raito-kun’s room, right?”

Just as I was politely offering to guide Sasagawa-sensei, Misaki jumped in without missing a beat.

She was clearly trying to get me to confirm it in front of her sister.

Honestly, I could just put Sasagawa-sensei and Misaki in the same room, but that would probably earn me the wrath of both Misaki and Kokoa, so I decided against it.

“As long as Sasagawa-sensei doesn’t mind.”

“I trust Shirai-san, and I believe he is more than capable of taking care of my sister. I have no objections. My father only insisted that I stay over—he didn’t specify anything about the room arrangements.”

Well, considering she was the mastermind behind all of this, it was only natural she would answer that way.

Misaki’s father had sent Sasagawa-sensei to keep us in check—but it had completely backfired.

…Now that I thought about it, Misaki’s mother had probably ignored her husband’s call on purpose.

She must have known this was exactly how things would turn out.
