My Beautiful Step-Sister, Who Is Too Much My Type, Keeps Pressuring Me to 'Get Married' Every Day and I'm Really Troubled ~She Takes Advantage of Being My Step-Sister to Tempt Me However She Wants!?~ - 05 - Mishizuku Is Really Confused
Mishizuku Is Really Confused
“Mishizuku, I made some progress about our discussion yesterday.”
“Hmm, tell me about it.”
The next day, I promptly decided to share what happened with Mishizuki at our usual seats in the classroom.
I talked a lot to Yumi yesterday, but I thought it was best to start with something related to Mishizuku. So, I began talking about that.
“Something troublesome has come up. In short, Mishizuku and I can’t afford for Yumi to find out about you.”
“Huh…? What’s that about?”
I proceeded to explain the situation to Mishizuku.
Yumi hasn’t been making any direct advances towards me because she thinks there are no other girls around me.
But if she finds out there are, she might step up her approach, especially if she thinks one of those girls likes me. So, it’s crucial that our involvement remains a secret.
After conveying this, I added one final remark.
“I’m sorry, I know Mishizuku doesn’t like me in that way, but it’s still not good for Yumi to find out about our relationship.”
“………..”
Afterward, Mishizuku remained completely still, not even shifting her gaze or posture. I decided to address her.
“Mishizuku?”
“…Sorry, um, basically, it’s best if our relationship doesn’t get exposed, right?”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Mishizuku seemed a bit off for a moment, but she quickly summarized the situation.
…Regardless of the reasons, keeping our relationship hidden might become mentally taxing, so I made sure to address that aspect.
“But, until now, even if I hung out with you, Yumi never found out. Yeah, it’s unlikely she’d find out.”
“Yeah… so, does that mean I can’t go to Ichiiri’s house?”
“My house…? Ah, I think you can’t come unless Yumi is out for some reason. But we’ve never really hung out at my place before, and it’s hard to imagine you coming to my house in the future.”
“Yeah, I guess… What’s up with this…”
Mishizuku placed her hand on her chest, looking puzzled.
It didn’t seem like she was feeling physically unwell, but…
“Are you okay? If you’re feeling unwell, I can take you to the infirmary.”
“I’m fine… Thanks for worrying about me.”
Mishizuku said with a gentle smile… She doesn’t usually make such expressions, but when we’re out playing together, she often has a bright smile.
Hanging out with Mishizuku is really fun for me… But when I felt something was off── she, who had placed her hand on the desk, suddenly urged me.
“Instead, can we talk about something else? I start to think weird things when we talk about this topic.”
“I see… I didn’t think it was necessary to mention it earlier if that’s how you feel, but there was a difficult conversation I had with Yumi yesterday.”
“What kind of conversation?”
I recalled the conversation I had with Yumi yesterday as I spoke.
“If, hypothetically, I were to have inappropriate thoughts or feelings about Yumi’s looks or figure, do you think that would be impure?”
Mishizuku responded immediately.
“I think it’s impure to have such thoughts about your sister.”
Naturally, I agreed with her, so I nodded and finally brought up the main topic I wanted to address with her yesterday.
“Then if Yumi───────”
“Wait a moment.”
As I was about to continue with the main topic, Mishizuku interrupted me, a serious expression on her face.
“See, if Ichiiri were to have impure thoughts or feelings towards his sister Yumi, then… If a friend occasionally feels like they want to hold hands or hug each other, or even think about wanting to do more than that, is that impure?” (Tl/n: Hehehehe)
