V3 Chapter 4: School before summer vacation kicks in ②

“…Gohon, so what brings you here on the rooftop?”

Kosuke and Hina had come to the rooftop together. As a matter of fact, the rooftop is off-limits.

“Well, I thought that’s because there are no people here, and moreover, I have permission from the teacher as well.”

As per Hina-nee, during the summer vacation, the astronomy club is planning to hold a night observation event.

So with the context that she needed to check the rooftop fence in advance to make sure it wasn’t damaged, she asked the teacher for permission to enter the rooftop.

“Later on, the teachers will check, but just in case, the student council will check it too.”

“I see, but still, why are we eating on the rooftop? Don’t we usually eat in the student council office, so why didn’t we just go there, ate, and then come to the rooftop afterwards?”

The rooftop was breezy, but as the summer sun was in full bloom, it was very hot.

“Well, I don’t know if I’m abusing my authority here, but don’t you wanna try eating on the rooftop once?”

“Haaaah… Hina-nee…”

“Besides, I don’t want people to hear what I’m about to tell you from now on.”

“Tell me, what?”

“Well, let’s first eat!”

Hina-nee took a sheet out of her bag and sat down on it, then took out two lunch boxes.

“Here, sit down, Ko-chan.

“Un.”

Sitting down on the seat, I took the lunch box from Hina-nee.

When I opened the lid, I saw that it contained a well-balanced arrangement of side dishes with colorful vegetables, clearly indicating that it was extremely carefully cooked.

“…Wow, that must have been a lot of work to make, right?”

“Nihihi~ It was really~, now, why don’t you try some?”

“Un, Ittadakimasu… mogumogu… unn, it tastes so good!”

“Is it? I’m glad~ Since Ko-chan had been sick, I tried to make the taste a little lighter. But still, I’m really glad.”

Hina-nee smiled happily.

“Kou-chan…are you okay now?”

After finishing our lunch, this elder sister of mine looked at me with a worried face.

“Un? Aaah, about my health, yeah, everything’s fine.”

“That’s not what I meant, about Ren, is everything …all right?”

From her way of talking itself, I could understand that, she measured her words carefully so that she wouldn’t hurt me in the process.

“Un… Everything’s fine. Although there are times when I feel this all so unreal, but still, right now I am somehow able to accept the things how it is coming.”

“You don’t have to force yourself, okay? If things go out of hand anytime, I’ll make sure to get some distance between you and Ren, okay.”

“I’m fine, thank you.”

Until recently, whenever memories or events related to Elder sister occurred, I would immediately go into a state of panic.

Because of that, Hina-nee was being excessively worried about me.

“I think I can slowly come to terms with it myself, but still thanks a lot for being worried about me.”

“…Un, if Ko-chan has decided to do so, I will believe in you.”

Saying that, Hina-nee stood up, walked a little further, and turned around to look at me. Her face somehow had a bright glow to it.

“Well then, since we’re done talking about this, let’s go to a place cooler since it’s so hot in here, shall we.”

We both cleaned up our place and headed down the stairs.

I decided to tell Hina-nee exactly what was going on in my head constantly right now.

“Hina-nee, are you okay with not checking on the rooftop?”

“…… AHHHH I FORGOOOOT !!”
