Chapter 30: Yuuki-nii-chan (1)
Saturday afternoon, a practice session for the girls’ band VenusVenus was held at a rental studio in Yokohama.
The band consists of the following four members:
◎ Shiori Fujimiya, 20 years old, a third-year at Seisho Gakuen Women’s University, from Tokyo.
The leader of VenusVenus, handling keyboard, chorus, composition, and arrangement.
With straight long black hair, sharp eyes, and a mysterious aura, she’s a cool beauty living alone in an apartment near the university.
◎ Natsuki Aikawa, 20 years old, a third-year at Seisho Gakuen Women’s University, from Yokohama.
Handles bass, composition, and MC.
With ash-toned, tousled medium hair, sleepy half-open eyes, and a slender, androgynous vibe, she’s a quirky character commuting from her family home in Yokohama.
◎ Kotoha Kishitani, 19 years old, a second-year at Seisho Gakuen Women’s University, from Fukuoka.
Handles vocals, guitar, songwriting, and main MC.
A slender beauty with straight brown short bob hair and captivating sharp eyes.
A resident of Room 7 at the share house Venus Lounge, working part-time at the convenience store JUSTOP.
◎ Miku Yuuki, 19 years old, a second-year at Seisho Gakuen Women’s University, from Tokyo.
Handles drums, chorus, and lyrics.
A slim beauty with waist-length snow-white ash straight twin-tails as her trademark.
A resident of Room 8 at the share house Venus Lounge, working part-time at a maid café.
The girls’ band VenusVenus is preparing for a joint live event next Saturday.
The event features four up-and-coming bands, including them.
As the last notes faded in the studio, the four let out a fuu sigh.
Miku tossed her drumsticks aside, and Kotoha wiped sweat while gripping her guitar neck.
“Okay, that’s it for today. It’s coming together nicely.
The live show is next week, so everyone, don’t slack off.”
“Good work~”
Natsuki said languidly.
“Thanks for the hard work…”
Kotoha responded quietly.
“…But, Shiori-senpai, wasn’t today’s run-through a bit too intense?”
Miku pouted slightly, twirling her drumsticks.
“Y-Yeah, the end was a bit tough for me too…”
Kotoha added, echoing Miku.
“The real show’s even tougher, so this is normal.
No complaining. …Alright, we’re done. Good work, everyone.”
Shiori maintained her cool expression and started cleaning up.
“Thanks for the hard work~!”
Miku and Kotoha began tidying up too.

After band practice, Miku and Kotoha returned to Hakurindai Station.
“Miku, wanna grab some food around here?”
Kotoha suggested.
“Yeah, I’m tired today, and cooking dinner at home sounds like a hassle.”
The two entered a café restaurant near the station.
“Welcome~ To Café Arcadia.”
A female staff member greeted them warmly.
“We have a booth in the back available. Would that work?”
“Yes, please.”
Kotoha replied, and a stunningly stylish female staff member led them to the back.
“Here are the menus.
Please press the call button when you’re ready to order.”
The staff member bowed and left, and the two opened the menus to choose dinner.
“Hey, Kotoha, isn’t the service here amazing?”
Miku said.
“Totally, the food’s great too. This place is my favorite.”
Kotoha replied, deliberating over dinner options.
“Hmm, so hard to choose.”
“Yeah, they’ve got way too many menu items.”
Café Arcadia specializes in Western cuisine, with over 200 menu items.
The sheer variety always left Miku and Kotoha indecisive.
“I’m going with the omelette rice plate.”
“Oh, omelette rice sounds good…
But I think I’ll go with the loco moco plate.”
After much debate, they ordered the fluffy omelette rice plate and the loco moco plate.
Café Arcadia’s one-plate dishes are a highlight and their signature offering.
While talking about the band, their food arrived.
Kotoha’s omelette rice plate featured fluffy omelette over ketchup rice, paired with a mini salad, mashed potatoes, boiled sausage, and onion soup.
Cutting into the omelette, creamy half-cooked egg spilled out.
Miku’s loco moco plate had a large hamburger patty topped with a fried egg, drizzled with special gravy sauce, served with rice, a mini salad, pickles, boiled sausage, and onion soup.

“Ahh, that was delicious.”
The two finished their hearty dinners, rubbing their stomachs in satisfaction.
“Kotoha, it’s crazy how you eat that much and don’t gain weight.”
“Right back at you, Miku.”
“Guess we’re burning all those calories.”
“Pretty much.”
“Hey, I’ve got something serious to talk about…”
Miku’s face suddenly turned solemn as she spoke to Kotoha.
“Huh, what’s up…
Is it a love story?”
Kotoha’s intuition was sharp in moments like this.
“Yeah, will you listen?”
“Sure, what’s the deal?”
“It’s about Yuuki-nii-chan…”
“Oh, that guy, huh.”
Kotoha pictured their share house roommate Yuuki.
“Yeah, will you hear me out?”
“Go for it, spill.”
Miku told Kotoha about how kind Yuuki was during their movie date.
How he casually and smoothly paid for lunch.
How he gave her a sports cap as a memento.
How he kindly escorted her both ways, she shared happily.
“Yuuki-nii-chan’s so kind…
I felt like he really cares about me, but…”
“Nice, what’s the problem then?”
“Well, I’m worried he sees me as a little sister, not as a woman…”
“Oh, that’s the issue, got it.
You want Yuuki-san to see you as a woman, right…”
“Exactly… I can’t confess if he doesn’t.”
“Hmm, but you might be part of the problem too.”
“Huh? What?
What’s the problem? Tell me, Kotoha.”
“Okay, but don’t get mad?”
“I won’t, I won’t, just say it.”
“Alright, here goes.
It’s because you call Yuuki-san ‘Yuuki-nii-chan.’
That’s like saying you’re his little sister…”
Miku was stunned by Kotoha’s words.
Indeed, she always called Yuuki “Yuuki-nii-chan.”
She hadn’t thought about it until Kotoha pointed it out, but it made sense.
“So, what should I call him?”
“How should I know?
Figure that out yourself.”
Miku’s mind was flooded with Kotoha’s words.
