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 55

Episode 55: Angel

“Kokoa, you’re awake.”

With a smile, I greeted my cute little sister peeking into the room.

She must have come to play on her own after hearing about Misaki from mom.

Misaki seemed a bit lonely as she moved away from me, but since she’s a young child, it couldn’t be helped.

And speaking of the important thing, Kokoa—

“Niini, you left Kokoa behind…!”

She puffed her cheeks and scolded me.

It seemed she didn’t like being left on the sofa.

“I thought it would be bad to wake you up since you were sleeping.”

“Kokoa wanted to play with you too…!”

Despite my explanation, Kokoa, being still young, couldn’t be satisfied. She entered the room and rushed towards me, starting to pound my chest.

Though she was angry, what she was doing was so cute that my cheeks naturally softened.

“Misaki is still here, so you can play with her.”

Even though mom was here, Misaki probably had no intention of leaving. She always stays at our house until it gets dark, so there’s plenty of time to play.

“Neene, wanna play?”

Kokoa, who wanted to play with Misaki, seemed to have calmed down, as she turned her gaze towards Misaki just like when she peeked into the room.

Although she asked with a tilt of her head, it wasn’t a question but an invitation. Anything other than nodding was not allowed.

“Yeah, let’s play. What do you want to do?”

Of course, Misaki didn’t refuse either and asked Kokoa with a smile.
Kokoa moved away from me and collapsed onto Misaki’s lap.

“Nh…!”

Kokoa rubbed her cheek against Misaki’s thigh.

It seemed she wanted to be spoiled rather than play.

“She’ll be happy if you hold her.”

“That’s right. Kokoa, come here.”

When I urged her, Misaki spread her arms towards Kokoa.

And with that, Kokoa jumped into Misaki’s embrace.

“Hehe…”

Kokoa rubbed her cheek against Misaki’s chest.

She’s still such a spoiled child.

As her older brother, there’s a sense of loneliness, but it feels good to see my sister so happy.

“Kokoa-chan, you’re really an angel, aren’t you?”

While petting Kokoa’s head, Misaki wore a melting expression.

If you’re spoiled by such a cute child, anyone would feel like this.

“Kokoa is also an angel, right?”

Since Misaki and I were talking about angels, Kokoa seemed to have started thinking of herself as an angel too.

—No, that’s not really true.

She’s probably just saying it in jest.

Even though she’s young, she understands what angels are.

“You’re too cute, I want to take you home…”

“That would make her angry, you know?”

To Misaki, who hugged Kokoa tightly, I said with a wry smile while giving her a warning.
