I ended up living together with the school's number one beauty who rejected me even though I hadn't confessed to her, but why are her beautiful sisters aiming to steal my virginity?

Hiiragi Akane kissed me.

“…..”

Her soft and very cold lips touched mine. My chest ached in pain as I tried my best to understand the situation I was in. My heartbeat pounded so loudly that it drowned out the fierce sound of the rain. I clutched my hands tightly, feeling a strange sensation as if the ground was sinking.

‘I don’t understand…’

Judging by Hiiragi Akane’s attitude so far, I couldn’t believe she had any feelings for me. Yet she kissed me…. Why?

“Why did you kiss me?”

I swallowed my saliva and asked straightforwardly.

“Because I didn’t like it. Your eyes seemed like you had given up on everything.”

“What the h-ll is that? That’s not an answer… I don’t get it. What are you thinking?”

Blood rushed to my head, and I unconsciously grabbed Hiiragi Akane’s arm. But then I noticed something…

“Hey… your hands are shaking. Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, that’s not it.”

“Then why are your hands shaking like that?”

“…It was my first time.”

“Huh?”

“It was my first kiss, so isn’t it okay to tremble a little!”

Blushing slightly, Hiiragi Akane shouted with her cheeks turned bright red.

“Your first time… Seriously, are you an idiot? Did you throw away your first kiss in such a… nonsensical situation?”

“Is it bad?”

“Bad? This is not about that…”

How valuable is a girl’s first kiss? I have no idea… But at the very least, it shouldn’t be something you can throw away in such an incomprehensible situation.

“Such things don’t matter. More importantly, are you going to continue accepting the irrational and unjust, and live on? Will you give up, blaming yourself for whatever is done to you, and accept all misfortunes?”

“…That’s right. In this world, there are no miracles or magic. So, all I can do is just that…. Anyway, answer me properly. Why did you, of all things, kiss me?”

I looked straight into Hiiragi Akane’s eyes, ignoring any potential transparency of her underwear being shown due to the rain. Hiiragi Akane also stared directly at me.

“…..”

Only the intense sound of rain echoed and the silence dominated the scene. But that silence was easily shattered by Hiiragi Akane’s words.

“You won’t understand my feelings. All I can say is that much.”

“…I see.”

I understood one thing from Hiiragi Akane’s words. Hiiragi Akane had no intention of conveying anything to me.

She kissed me on her own accord, but she had no intention of saying the meaning behind her actions. Truly, a cunning woman.

“…That’s enough. Certainly, I don’t understand your feelings. But I… It was my first kiss as well.”

“Is that so? Sorry, did I do something wrong?”

Hiiragi Akane asked as if confirming something, running her fingers over her own lips. And in an instant, a very small smile appeared.

“…..”

I felt a sense of déjà vu from that smile. Somewhere in the distant past, someone had smiled the same way. But before I could remember who it was, a voice echoed suddenly.

“Oh, it’s Akane-chan. What are you doing here?”

Touka-san, holding a beautiful orange umbrella, appeared from the intense rain.

“…Nazuna-kun is with you too.”

“Yes. We just happened to run into each other.”

“…I see.”

Touka-san seemed somewhat awkward, avoiding eye contact from me.

“Touka-nee-san. Why are you out at this hour? Classes have already started, haven’t they?”

“Yeah, that’s right. But I was a little lost in thought. Before I knew it, it was already too late.”

“Is it okay to be lost in thought? That’s…”

“Yeah, it’s okay. It’s not like I’m feeling unwell. More importantly, I’ll shelter you under my umbrella. Let’s go home once. You’ll catch a cold if you stay soaked like this.”

Touka-san approached us and said,

“…Is Nazuna-kun coming with us too?”

“No… I’m fine.”

“But didn’t the weather forecast say that it would rain all day today? So if it is okay, Akane-chan…”

Touka-san looked into Hiiragi Akane’s direction as if asking the question with her gaze.

“…..”

Hiiragi Akane hesitated, looking up at the sky. But her words were already decided. So, before she could speak, I said.

“I’m fine. I’m used to it.”

And then, I ran. Even though the rain was falling intensely, making my body ache, I didn’t stop my feet.

“…What are you doing?”

I sighed heavily at my thoughtless actions. But if I had stayed there, I might have been tempted by Touka-san’s kindness. But that couldn’t be allowed. Because I had promised Hiiragi Akane that I wouldn’t interfere with her life anymore..

I won’t enter the Hiiragi residence anymore.

That was the promise Hiiragi Akane and I made. In exchange for keeping that promise, I received a large amount of money. So, I could no longer enter that house.

“…Damn. If I’m going to get soaking wet anyway, I should have run away quickly when the rain just started.”

I kicked the wet ground and headed towards the station, not the school. Even if I went to school soaking wet, I couldn’t attend classes. So, I decided to skip classes for today.

“Ah, good timing.”

I increased my running speed when I saw a train stopped at the station. But on the way, I tripped on the stairs and quickly grabbed the handrail.

“That was dangerous!”

Barely avoiding a fall, the train left me behind as it started moving.

“…That’s just my bad luck.”

Muttering these words, I attempted to sit on the bench. However, realizing I was too wet to sit without causing inconvenience, I decided against it.

Abandoned by luck in every possible way, I spent nearly two hours making my way home. I then took a shower in my run-down bathroom and collapsed onto the stiff mattress.

“Why did she have to smile…”

Muttering those words, I closed my eyes. Though it was still early, my head throbbed in pain, making it hard to stay conscious. So, I fell asleep in that state, collapsing like a toppled statue.

I only realized that I had caught a cold the next morning.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

Hiiragi Akane lightly brushed her lips and started walking slowly.

“Are you okay?”

Walking alongside Akane with an orange umbrella, Touka asked as if to confirm.

“Yes. After all, he said it himself. The only one at fault is me for forgetting my umbrella.”

“That’s not what I meant. Was it really okay to drive Nazuna-kun away from the house like that?”

“…It’s fine. I don’t want him to know our secrets, and besides, we don’t have much time left. We can’t afford to spend time with him. Don’t you agree?”

“…..”

Hearing Akane’s words, Touka looked into the distant past, gazing at the orange bracelet on her arm.

“Akane-chan, you’re always right. But if you’re always right, won’t you end up alone someday?”

“It’s okay. I’m fine alone.”

“Then why did you kiss him?”

“…..”

Hearing her words Akane felt like her heart had stopped. Those words were unexpected even for Akane.

“Look, I wanted to…?”

“Yeah.”

“Then why didn’t you speak up sooner?”

“…Because Nazuna-kun was there.”

Touka endured something as she tightly gripped the handle of her umbrella.

“…Well, never mind. That was just an excuse.”

“An excuse, huh? That’s a bit cunning of you.”

“You were the one who said that if you’re only right, you’ll end up alone, right?”

“Hehe~, that’s right. So? How does it feel to kiss? Did your heart race? Was it pleasant? How do Nazuna-kun’s lips feel like?”

Touka looked at Akane with sparkling eyes, seeing her sister’s antics Akan let out a big sigh.

“…It was just a brief touch, so there’s nothing special. It’s just that… our lips touched.”

“Liar. Akane-chan, you were smiling when you kissed him.”

“I wasn’t smiling!… I just suddenly kissed him without any consent. I’m… the worst.”

“…..”

Watching Akane’s gloomy expression, Touka forcibly suppressed her overflowing curiosity.

“But it’s been a while since we talked like this.”

Saying that, she looked up at the heavily clouded sky.

“Yeah.”

“It’s all thanks to Nazuna-kun.”

“…That’s right.”

Following Touka’s example, Akane slowly looked up at the sky.

No matter where they looked, the sky was covered with thick clouds. And from the sky, piercing rain poured down. Nazuna, who had run without an umbrella in this weather, would surely catch a cold.

If that happened, there would be no one at his house, and he would have to endure the cold and loneliness alone.

“…It doesn’t concern me.”

Staring at the rain that seemed to cry out, Akane muttered those words in the end.
