The time when I forcibly slept with my friend's sister!

[Riku’s POV:]

I, along with the two girls traveled to the mall on foot since it wasn’t that far from the school. Since the sun hid behind the clouds when we exited the school, Akechi-san also had no problems walking with us.

Akechi-san was rather enthusiastic about the prospectus of taking Yui-chan along for two prominent reasons. The first was the same as mine that Yui knows Ichinose more closely than any other so she could help buy the best present for that guy.

The second reason was that Akechi-san wanted to get to know those people who were close to Ichi so they could support the ojou when the time comes.

“Lucky bastard…”

“Isn’t he too ordinary for being a gigolo?”

“I bet he must be packing down there…”

Those kinds of murmurs were something I got long accustomed to since most of the time its Yui-chan who accompanies me to big places like this one and people nowadays or even in the past could never assume anything good at a couple consisting of a beautiful girl and a plain guy like me.

Even though the male population has exponentially decreased over the years, it wasn’t like women here were hungry for any other male they gaze upon. And their standards are still high if they are earning well and look decent.

“Don’t let them get you, senpai! For me, you truly are the most handsome.”

Yui-chan cheered me up with her fists clenched near her chest.

With a small smile, I brought my hand over her head while walking as I spoke, “It’s okay, Yui. You don’t need to console me.”

I bet Akechi-san must be seeing us as a pair of weirdos but it’s how we always have been.

Yui-chan didn’t say anything, probably agreeing with the fact that she was consoling me as we made our way toward the second floor where the men’s section was located.

“How is this shirt? Ichi-kun does like blue right?”

While holding a Hawaiian shirt in her hand Akechi-san asked.

Yui has gone out of the shop since she received a call from her mother. Since she could not tell her mother that she was with me, due to the obvious reason of Ichinose whom I lied, Yui-chan must be making some excuses right now.

The shop was mostly empty since it was a weekday.

I looked up to down at the shirt before shaking my head slightly, “It’s good but Ichi has similar three shirts. One of the three is still in my wardrobe.”

“So your size are same? That would help a lot.”

I was about to say that I was slightly taller when Akechi-san turned around and continued hunting for the perfect shirt she could give to Ichi.

Initially, she thought of gifting him everything from head to toe, which consisted, of hair products, goggles, face creams, a shirt, trousers, shoes, belts, a watch, and who knows how many things she has noted in that long list.

However, all her initial plans were crumbled with Yui’s simple statement that ‘Nii-san would think of you as a spoiled girl who wastes her parent’s money…and he would probably end up thinking that you want to keep him as a sugar baby…’

It was no longer a hidden act of supporting a male in return for that kind of thing these days and getting a sugar baby was now not only limited to older women.

That was why Akechi-san immediately threw her list in the bin and decided to buy only a shirt for him.

“Here, stand straight.”

I didn’t know when but Akechi-san was suddenly behind my back before she made me stand upright as she brought her thin arms from under my armpits and held a red and black shirt to see in the mirror how it seems on a live dummy a.k me.

Her fragrance once again overwhelmingly assaulted my senses and those cushions pressing into my back were also something I wasn’t able to ignore.

‘Once again…sorry, Ichi for feeling your potential lover… ‘ I cursed myself as I stiffly stood without daring to move even a bit.

“This looks fine…ah!” Suddenly Akechi-san was pulled apart from me and the shirt dropped to the floor.

We simultaneously turned to look at the person only to find Yui-chan standing there with her smile a little more stretched than usual.

For some reason, it didn’t seem she was smiling at all.

“People would take you both as a couple and what if such a picture reaches Nii-san?”

Hearing the word Akechi-san’s face paled as the complaint she had because of how she was treated, was replaced with a low bow of thanks toward Yui.

“I seriously should have been more cautious about things like this. You have my gratitude Tsukasa Yui-san.”

“Don’t mention it. And by the way, there are some decent collections that Nii-san might like at the other end of the shop. Would you like to see it?”

Yui’s temperament suddenly shifted as she offered generously. Undoubtedly Akechi-san nodded since finding the perfect shirt was all she could care for and it seems she wants to lighten Yui’s mood as well.

I was about to follow the two since I had nothing to buy for myself when suddenly Yui-chan placed a hand on my chest and shook her head rhythmically.

“Not there, Nii-san. Why don’t you browse for a bit while I have some alone time with Akechi-san? After all, it would be better if I get to know the girl who could possibly become my sister-in-law in the future right?”

Akechi-san blushed hearing the words while I nodded in realization.

True to her words, it’s important that Yui and Akechi-san get to know each other without any third wheel so that in the future Yui could support Akechi-san.

“Take your time.”

Saying so I waved at them as the two girls walked away.

Gazing at the shop I thought that it would be better if I do something productive and find a swimsuit for the upcoming swimming class.

‘After all…I have to hide that scar as well… ‘
