Chapter 7

Brought to you by Noir

V/S the little brat, rescue mission in progress.

(POV: PAST)

“Come on Yuu-nii, let’s play together. Even with this single player software, we can somehow form an online communication and play.”

Mahiru pulls me by her hand. She sits on the edge of the bed, sticking out her bow-like thin legs stretched out sloppily like a boy.

“Oh, o-ok…”

This is an opportunity.

I can now casually sit beside her, besides the pillow.

Now, the problem is from here on.

Let\’s get the positioning straight. First, the rescue target, an ecchi book, is under the pillow right behind me.

However, at this moment, Miya is occupying the whole bed and her tiny head is on top of the pillow. Mahiru is sitting right next to me and Asaka is reading a manga by the window a little further away.

The ecchi book is right within my hand’s reach. Asaka is engrossed in reading the manga and the pillow is at the blind spot of Mahiru, who on the other hand is concentrating on playing the video game.

As soon as Miyuki gets off the bed, I will wrap my arms around the ecchi book and hide it in the back of my clothes. Then for a moment I will leave the room for some time and hide the ecchi book in another place.

It’s a perfect strategy.

The time is 2:00 PM. Let’s start the rescue mission!

“Uwaaa, Mahiru you’re just too strong—”

“Miya, you are full of gaps.”

“So, then I will be substituting myself with Yuu-nii, now.”

“Eh?”

I was handed the game console from Miya. It seems like a competitive action game. I\’m actually quite good at this kind of game. When I was a junior high school student, I often played action and shooting games at arcades.

It’s a chance to defeat these guys who always try to look down on me.

However, now is not the time for this. Both of my hands are blocked, and my line of sight is fixed on the gaming screen.

I want to lose quickly and be replaced with Miya, but if I lose too easily, there is a risk that they will look down on me yet again.

I am an adult and with that if I lose to a high-school student too easily, I can imagine Mahiru saying with a half-laugh ‘You’re an adult and you lost to a child, you’re such a weakling.’

Let\’s make it look like I lost at the last minute while playing a close battle.

“Orya~, then now take this.”

…………………………………….

“Mu, Yuu-nii, aren’t you pretty good at this~ I think I should also become serious.”

Mahiru’s attack became fiercer all of a sudden…

\”I\’m going to the bathroom\”

Miya got off the bed. Great timing. I was able to play close battle and now even the bed is free. Alright, now it’s time to lose the game.

“Yay, I won”

“Damn. Damn it. It means I’ll change turns with Asaka, now h-u-h.”

And as I tried to.

“Ugh, I’ll pass, it’s so hot.”

Asaka, who was sitting by the window, puts away her manga, drinks some juice that was on the table, and moves toward the bed. Her bangs were wet due to sweat and her cheeks dyed in vermilion like an apple. She lays down on the bed.

“Hmm, I think I need a break.”

Wha–t th–e hee—ckkk?

You were only reading the manga the entire time!

What element made you so tired exactly!?

“Asaka is very weak after all. Let her take a nap. Alright, Yuu-nii let’s go for round two~.”

Are you for real?

“Who won?”

Miya returned.

“There’s no way Yuu-nii can beat me in this game.”

“Yeahhh, so we are switching now~”

Miya starts jumping on the bed.

Springs creak and the bed shakes irregularly”

“I–I get it! I get it ― ok!”

The vibrations made by Miya while jumping up and down on the bed transmitted to the pillow, and the ecchi books began to slide past the pillow onto the sheets.

This is bad, it\’s really bad, the cor–ners. The corners are beginning to show…

“When you’re over, take your turn.”

\”I understand, don\’t jump. The vibrations will get to the store.\”

Saying this, I fall on my back and attempt to hide the ecchi books protruding from under the pillow with my own body.

ugh, that was a close call.

But, it’s not over yet.

If I continue to lean over like that, my head will go on to touch the chest of the asleep Asaka.

What should I do?

Hiding those ecchi books is a top priority, but even if it is so, touching a high-school girl’s chest with your head would definitely be…

“Arre? What\’s that? There\’s something under the pillow.”

“!?”

Miya will find out.
