Reincarnated as the Promiscuous Protagonist in a Netori Game, Only to Find the Heroine, My Step-Sister, Already Threatened to Be a Submissive Slave~ Liberating the Slave and Planning to Leave Home, Yet Unexpectedly Becoming Loved by My Step-Sister~ - Chapter 34 - Everyone Gathers!

Chapter 34 – Everyone Gathers!

“Hmph!”

I reached out my hand to my sulking younger sister, but she blatantly avoided it. She completely rejects any attempts at patting or caressing.

“Sorry, Takuma. And Rion-chan…? I’m sorry too for interrupting.”

Iroha sat on the opposite side and clasped her hands together apologetically. Next to her is Minase, who had returned to her original position.

In front of them were me, Kokoa, and Tsumugi.

Table for 4 people, 5 in total.

My side was too small because of the overcrowding.

And the atmosphere wasn’t good, mainly because of the awkwardness between me and Tsumugi.

“I was going to wait until senpai and his friend finished their studies, you know? I was hoping we could have another little date afterwards♡”

Only Kokoa clung to my arm at her own pace and cuddled up affectionately.

“—Baka Nii-san.”

Then Tsumugi muttered that.

It seems to have put her in a worse mood.

What do I do in this situation…!?!?!?

In the first place, it’s so tightly packed on both my sides that I can’t move.

The study session had come to a complete halt.

When I was puzzled, Iroha secretly winked at me and spoke to Tsumugi.

“Little sister, little sister.”

“…What is it?”

“Shall we go and get some drinks from the drink bar? You can have unlimited refills of cola, melon soda, fruit juice, coffee, tea, or anything you want to drink~”

“……!”

Tsumugi, who had been sitting with her back straight, tilted slightly toward Iroha. She looks calm, but I can tell she’s curious about the drink bar.

“You can even mix it, you know~?”

With a smirk on her face, Iroha launched a further attack.

“I’m coming.”

Tsumugi, who easily fell, stood up from her seat with Iroha.

“I’ll get some for Takuma and Kokoa-chan too~ I won’t guarantee the taste, though.”

Saying that, Iroha picked up my glass. She didn’t pick up Minase’s because it still had some in it.

“C-Can I put anything in it!? Any combination!?”

“Yep, yep. If it tastes bad, we can have those two drink it~”

“Wow…♪”

Tsumugi’s cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled.

Tsumugi, whose emotions have completely turned into those of a young girl, was taken by Iroha to the drink bar.

Iroha might be better than me when it comes to treating Tsumugi…

As a brother, I feel a little frustrated.

However, I was honestly grateful for Iroha’s tact.

Surprisingly, Kokoa didn’t interfere and waved them off.

“Senpai♡ Uhuhu♡”

She buried her face in my lap in the now wide seat and got into a sleeping position.

Kokoa is the youngest member of the group, yet she is so bold that you wouldn’t feel that she is the youngest.

—Bang!!!

“WHAA!?”

Kokoa jumped up, startled by a sudden shocking sound.

“W-What!? What is it!?”

My gaze was fixed on an object.

“T-Takuma-san, p-please let me join youuuuUuuuUuu~~~”

Yes, it was Mayoi Yura, pressing her face against the windowpane while crying and pleading.

☆

“Waaaaa, Teacher…!!!”

“Y-Yura-chan!? How long have you been here!?”

When Iroha came back with the drinks, Mayoi immediately hugged her when she joined us at the table. Mayoi covered Iroha with her arms so that Iroha was held by her head, and Iroha was swallowed by Mayoi’s big breasts.

“Teacher, teacher, teacher~!”

“W-What’s this!? Heaven!?”

Iroha was squirming in Mayoi’s tearful embrace.

Surrounded by Minase and Kokoa, two people who are incompatible to a shady character, her heart was probably on the verge of bursting.

With such a situation at the other side, I shifted my gaze to Tsumugi who had taken a seat next to me.

“…Un, it’s sweet and tasty♪”

Tsumugi nodded in satisfaction and smiled as if she had completely forgotten she was angry earlier.

“This one is for Nii-san♪”

“Huh?”

I was given a glass filled with a bright blue-coloured liquid.

“Go ahead♪”

“…T-Thank you. Tsumugi…”

“You’re welcome♪”

No, it was impossible for Tsumugi to forget it that quickly. Behind that smile, she was never smiling.

I willingly poured the liquid down my throat…

It tasted and smelled like a mixture of green juice and coffee, with sticky bubbles and carbonation, which somehow left a fishy aroma in the back of my nose and down my throat…

It tastes really bad!!!

Still, I swallowed it, thinking that if this would make my sister feel better, then I’d do it.

“I-I drank it, Tsumugi…! Thank you…!”

“Is that so…? Would you like to drink mine as a palate cleanser?”

“…A-Are you sure?”

“Yes, here you go.”

“Well then, thank you very much. I’ll take it.”

I received the glass and was allowed to take a sip. There was a rush of carbonation in my nose. It was melon soda. The persistent sweetness filled my mouth and washed away the ghetto drink.

“Indirect kiss with Nii-san…♪”

“What did you say?”

“No, anything. More importantly, if you’ve finished drinking, please return it as soon as possible. I want to drink it right away.”

“Ah, yeah. Sorry. Thanks.”

Tsumugi picked up the glass as if snatching it, and immediately put it to her mouth and began to drink.

If she was so thirsty, she didn’t have to give it to me…

“Fufu♪”

A smile appeared on her slightly red cheeks.

I’m glad my sister’s mood has improved a bit.

“Wow~ It’s a joint performance between Mob-chan and Introvert-chan! Let’s take a picture~”

And just as we were settling down, Iroha and the others were joined by Kokoa.

“Oh, n-nooooo! P-Please, don’t take a photo… P-Please don’t make me a laughingstock on social media. I beg you, please don’t do it, I’ll do anything…!”

“Ahaha, I wouldn’t do such a terrible thing~ Introvert-chan, you’re so funny~”

Kokoa, filled with great interest in Mayoi, kept flashing the camera excitedly. With each flash, Mayoi flinched in fear and jumped around anxiously.

Typical introvert and extrovert exchange… I don’t want to get involved…

“Well, Yura-chan is an introvert~ There’s no helping it~”

Iroha quietly slipped out of the embrace and took a seat. 

“Wow, you drank that, Takuma. As expected~”

She looked at my empty glass and cracked up and clapped.

“Ah, Introvert-chan, I’ll give you this drink.”

“Eh, is it really okay…!? Thank you so much…! Gulp, gulp—!?!? W-What’s this!?”

“Eh, it was Tsumugi-senpai who brewed it~ So I don’t know♡”

Kokoa was firmly forcing the ghetto drink onto Mayoi. 

Seeing Mayoi’s outburst, Kokoa laughed even more.

Apparently she was so amused that she went straight to Mayoi. 

“Hey, Introvert-chan, did you have sex with senpai too? Do you like senpai?”

“U-Uhu… A-Ah…!!! U-U-U-Ummm, um,, I… I… *mumble, mumble*…”

“Eh? What? I can’t hear you.”

Mayoi’s face turned red and she cowered.

Though Kokoa means no harm, there is something about this scene that deeply pains my heart! It stirs up the lingering spirit of my introverted self from a past life…!

“Yura-chan, in situations like this, do that~ Remember the method we talked about before? Let’s give it a try~ Nnn~♡ This parfait is delicious~♡”

While enjoying the strawberry parfait that Tsumugi ordered together with her, Iroha gave Mayoi some advice.

“Y-Yes…! Teacher!”

Mayoi then seemed to get into the spirit and clenched her fists.

“Eh? What, what? What’s happening?”

“T-That’s hilarious!” (T/N: Mayoi started speaking in gal tone.)

“Huh?”

Mayoi’s unbelievable words made not only Kokoa’s, but even my eyes turn into dots.

“What? Say it again, Introvert-chan.”

“A-Ahaha, that’s really funny! Seriously~ Stop it~ That’s too much, Maji-maji, ahaha~☆” (T/N: Source was マジ卍, meaning Maji-maji twice. Damn it gal language…)

Sitting across from me, Iroha’s cheeks were on the verge of bursting as she held back her laughter, making “pfft” sounds.
