My Childhood Friend Is Dangerously Sexy and Cute - 10

Chapter 10: My Childhood Friend’s Little Sister Is an Angel

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Hiro-san, Hiro-san.”

“Hm?”

“Could you stop for a moment?”

While we were walking home, Yuki said that. I followed and stopped.

“—Mm.”

At that moment, Yuki beside me suddenly closed the distance, and in one smooth motion, she kissed my cheek. She was standing on her tiptoes, and I could tell she was trembling a little.

“W-what was that all of a sudden?”

That seriously startled me. I wanted her to stop doing that since it was bad for my heart. Stopping and suddenly having lips pressed against my cheek like that… I could’ve fainted. We were so close her chest brushed against me a bit too. Soft.

“It’s a reward for you, Hiro-san.”

“A reward? I didn’t do anything to deserve one… wait, huh, you heard that after all?”

And is this even a reward?

“I heard it loud and clear.”

Apparently, my shout during lunch had reached Yuki even in the cafeteria.

“Ugh… you’re supposed to pretend you didn’t hear that stuff.”

“I couldn’t help it, it made me happy. You’re my number one fan, right?”

“Stop! Don’t say it anymore, seriously!”

I already realized what the hell I did back there! 

When I get home, I’m just going to roll around in bed in embarrassment!

“Were you jealous? Because I was talking to the little piggies?”

“I-it’s not like that.”

I just happened to be in a slightly bad mood, just a little, and went overboard.

“Fufu. If you get jealous for me, then those little piggies are quite useful.”

“I said I’m not jealous!”

“I see. Then from now on, I’ll walk to and from school with the little piggies. Goodbye, Hiro-san.”

“Wait, no!? Don’t do that!?”

If she did that, she’d turn into one of those arrogant rich girls surrounded by guys you see in manga!

Well… it might not be entirely inaccurate, but I still don’t like it!

“Good grief, Hiro-san… anyway, please wait a moment.”

Yuki took out her phone. It seemed she got a call.

“Yes… yes. Understood. That’s fine. Okay, then.”

After a short conversation, she put her phone away.

“Something up?”

“Yes. I need to go pick up Sayuki.”

“That’s rare.”

“Mother seems to be busy at the moment. Hiro-san, would you like to come too?”

“Yeah. I’ll go.”

“You seem unusually eager.”

“N-no? Not at all? It’s not like I’ve been thinking I want to see Sayu again right now or anything!”

“You just gave yourself away. Well, our Sayuki is the second cutest after me, so it can’t be helped.”

And so, while glancing at Yuki who seemed slightly displeased, we left our usual route home and headed somewhere else.

✳︎ ✳︎ ✳︎

“Whoa… this really brings back memories.”

“It does. We hardly ever come here after graduating from kindergarten.”

“Yeah.”

“If you’re feeling nostalgic, should I wear a kindergarten uniform for you next time? Or would you prefer to wear one, Hiro-san? I could play the teacher.”

“I’m not wearing that! How did it come to that!?”

“It’s what you call ‘babumi.’ I’ll gently pat adorable Hiro-san dressed in a kindergarten uniform.”

“What kind of horrifying scene is that…”

“I think you mean a heartwarming scene.”

“Are you kidding me…”

I’ll keep quiet about the fact that I’ve already felt that “babumi” from Yuki before. I’ll take that to the grave.

As you might have guessed, we had arrived at a nearby kindergarten. We were now standing in front of the gate. This kindergarten was where Yuki’s much younger sister, Sayuki Fujisaki, attended.

“Well then, shall we go pick up Sayuki?”

“Yeah.”

We couldn’t just stand around chatting nonsense at a kindergarten.

“Ah! Papa! Mama!”

Just as we were about to walk forward, a little girl came running toward us from the school building. It seemed other parents had come to pick up their children as well. A couple picking up their child… it felt warm, something to admire. A scene so bright you’d want to watch it forever. So I thought, but—

“—Guh!?”

“Papa~! You came to pick up Sayu~? I love you, love you~!”

The next moment, that little girl jumped at me. No, not just hugged, it was a straight headbutt. She kept grinding her head against me. And because of our height difference, that headbutt landed squarely on my crotch.

That hurts… Sorry, Dad, Mom… I might not be able to get married anymore…

“Mama is here too, you know~ Sayu-chan.”

“Mama~! I love Mama too~!”

“Yes, Mama loves Sayu-chan too~.”

While I was about to collapse, the girl was picked up by Yuki. The sight of them rubbing cheeks together was very heartwarming.

So I’m the papa… and Yuki is the mama…? Dad, Mom… I don’t remember getting married, but somehow I have a family now…

“W-what’s going on… Yuki… Sayu…”

“Hmm~? What’s wrong, Papa? Does your tummy hurt? You look like you’re in pain.”

That would be because of your headbutt…

Please don’t look at me with those innocent eyes.

“What’s wrong, Hiro-san? You finally met your beloved daughter, you should look happier.”

“I don’t have a daughter and I’m not married!”

“Papa…? Do you hate Sayu…?”

“Hiro-san… Won’t you acknowledge her…?”

The two of them looked like they were about to cry. But I didn’t give in. I must not go soft here. That would be exactly what this pair wanted.

“Enough already! The act is over! Cut it out!”

I said it firmly.

“Phew… Sayuki? Let’s stop now.”

“Okay! It was all a joke~!”

“Sayu-chan hasn’t seen Hiro-san lately and felt lonely, right?”

“Yeah! And I haven’t gotten to play with big sis much either! So today we’re gonna play a lot!”

“Haah… seriously, stop doing that… Yuki, did you teach her this?”

“No, no. Sayuki started it, and I just improvised along.”

“What kind of sister combo is that…”

Also, Sayuki? I don’t think a kindergartener should be making jokes like that. It’s honestly scary. Cute, but scary. Look at those moms over there chatting… Some look suspicious, others are casually saying things like “such a young couple.”

No way a high schooler has a kindergarten kid! We’re in uniforms! Look properly!?

Anyway, the girl who headbutted me at the start was Yuki’s little sister, Sayuki Fujisaki. There was quite an age gap between us and she was still in kindergarten. And of course, she was everyone’s angel.

“By the way, Sayu-chan, where is Pyonkichi-san?”

“Here~”

Sayuki pointed to the bag on her back.

“So he’s in your bag. Good job putting him away properly.”

“Yeah! I put him away before hugging Hiro-kun!”

Pyonkichi-san was the rabbit plush Sayuki always carried. It was passed down from Yuki. She often dragged it around so it got dirty often, but today she had properly put it in her bag.

She’s growing up. Amazing. Truly amazing. I want to pat her head endlessly.

“Hiro-san, it seems Sayuki wants to go play. Could you come along for a bit?”

“Hiro-kun, come play with us too!”

“Yeah, of course.”

I said that as I ruffled Sayuki’s hair. She narrowed her eyes happily and went “Nihi~.” Her hair was flatter than Yuki’s silver hair, almost white. Cute.

“You know, Sayu wants soft serve ice cream!”

“Soft serve? You won’t be able to eat dinner.”

“It’s okay~! Sayu will try hard!”

“Well, I suppose it’s fine once in a while.”

“Alright, then we’re heading to the shopping street.”

“Yes.”

“Let’s gooo~!”

“Yeah!”

And so we headed toward the shopping street.

Today I’ll play plenty with this little angel. Not that I want to though. It’s just that Sayuki wants to, so it can’t be helped.

“Hiro-kun, Hiro-kun.”

“What is it, Sayu~?”

“I just wanted to call you~.”

“I see~.”

Ahhh, Sayuki is so cute!

“Hiro-san, your cheeks. You’re smiling way too much.”

T-that’s not true!
