The reason why this genius little girl who doesn't get along with anyone, wants to be only spoiled by me

Episode 15: Easygoing Yet Stubborn

In the principal’s office, I was meeting face to face with Hime’s elder sister, Hoshimiya-san, for the first time.

“Ahem… I’m Sei Hoshimiya. I’m employed as Hime-chan’s elder sister~,”

Her courteous greeting prompted me to sit up straighter and give a small bow in return.

“Uh, nice to meet you. I’m—”

“You’re Yohei Ozora, right? Hime-chan told me all about you~.”

As I also tried to introduce myself, but it seems she already knew my name.

It seemed Hime had already talked about me to her.

“So, uhmm, thank you for treating this kindly…!”

“Nope, I should be the one saying that you know? Hime has been very kind to me,”

“Ufufu, it seems like you are spoiling my cute little sister, thank you ~.”

…I only tried exchanging a few words so far, but still, Hoshimiya-san’s demeanor was incredibly gentle.

I had wondered if she’d be wary of me, as someone getting close to her little sister, but it seemed my concerns were unfounded.

“Since yesterday, this girl’s been talking so happily about you, I just had to meet you. I was surprised, you know? I never expected to hear my little Hime-chan talking about a boy!”

“O-O! Onee-chan! I haven’t been talking about him *that* much!”

“Ehh~? Not only at the dining table, you continued to talk about Yohei-kun nonstop even while taking a bath. Can you say~”

“T-That’s not true! Yohei-kun, it was never to that degree. Onee-chan has a habit of blowing things out of proportion!”

“Ufufu, my cutie Hime-chan, you’re so cute when you’re embarrassed~.”

…Well, how do I explain this, this was definitely a typical sibling exchange between the Hoshimiya siblings, I suppose.

Hime also seemed very natural when she is around her elder sister, showing a much more expressive side than usual. Watching them interact, I was reminded of just how young Hime really was.

I’d already heard rumors about it before, but surely enough, they were very close as fellow sisters.

Also, Sei Hoshimiya was even more easygoing than what the rumors suggested —and very much fluffy-airhead overall. [Tl: すごくふわふわしている人だった。]

“Ah, you must be quite hungry, right? Sorry ~. Let’s eat lunch already! Come on, both of you, take a seat~.”

Following her instructions, as we sat on the sofa, Hoshimiya-san handed out the lunchboxes.

….Leaving aside the fact about the elegant multi-tiered lunchbox she brought in her bag and whether technically it can be called a lunchbox.

“Thank you, Hoshimiya-san,”

Receiving it, as I was about to dig in when – she immediately interrupted.

“Hoshimiya-san? Which one of us is that, I wonder~?”

“Uh, well… I’ve been calling Hime by her first name, so…”

“—That’s so not fair!”

…Apparently, she wasn’t happy about how I addressed her.

It was the same in case of Hime as well, I guess the Hoshimiya siblings don’t like being called by their last name that much.

“You have to call me by my first name too, okay? You’re already doing that for Hime-chan, it’s alright, right~.”

“Uh, but… I only call Hime by her first name because she’s younger than me. For people of same age, I feel a bit uncomfortable… Um, Hoshimiya-san? Are you even listening?”

“Nn? What? I can’t hear you. Who’s this ‘Hoshimiya-san’ you’re talking about?”

Even thought she could obviously hear me, yet pretended not to.

At first glance, she seemed pretty easygoing, but surprisingly… well, you know, she’s kind of like, that.

she could be pretty stubborn.

“…Umm, Yohei-kun, even though Onee-chan can seem pretty laid-back, but once she’s decides on something, she doesn’t back down and is quite stubborn about it. You’ll just have to give in and accept.”

Yeap, she definitely seemed quite stubborn.

So, even Hime was having a pretty hard time because of that huh, she was also letting out quite a sigh.

…In terms of personality alone, the elder sister seemed more childish than the younger one.

Given her graceful and mature appearance, this was somehow really unexpected.

But still, well, the contrast made her even more charming. The fact that she had a different kind of charm than her little sister, I could understand see why she was so popular all over again—-.
