When I Brought The Lost Little Girl To Her House, The One Who Came Out Of The Front Door Was The Most Beautiful Girl In The Grade. - Chapter 70

Christmas had ended, and I was spending a lazy day.

New Year’s Eve was approaching, and I couldn’t let the new year arrive in such a sluggish atmosphere, so I decided to come to the bookstore.

One reason for coming to the bookstore was that a new volume of a manga had been released, and it was the perfect opportunity

However, it’s better than just staying at home.

I was wandering around the new release section. At times like this, if I can’t find it quickly, I start to worry that it might be sold out.

“Oh, there it is.”

Perhaps relieved, I let out a voice, but that doesn’t matter now. As I reach for the new release, my hand accidentally collides with someone else’s hand reaching for the same new release, just like me.

What’s with this situation that seems like something out of a shoujo manga, I wonder, as I glance at the person. It’s a small, cute girl.

Her black hair was just long enough that it didn’t touch her shoulders.

“Um… Is there something on my face?”

“Oh, no, sorry.”

“Not ‘sorry,’ did you ask if something was on my face?”

“There’s nothing on it.”

As I say that, the girl looks at me with an even more suspicious gaze.

“Then what? Were you looking at me inappropriately?”

“I wasn’t looking like that! Anyway, how old are you?”

“I’m 15.”

“You’re a junior!”

After I say that, she looks at me as if to say, “Wait, what’s with this person? Despite being my senior, he was staring.”

“Well, lying isn’t a good thing, you know?”

“There’s a high school nearby, right? You’re a sophomore there!”

“I’m also taking the entrance exams this year for that high school.”

“Then go home and study!”

“I was studying! I-I’m just taking a break right now.”

She says this while fidgeting and looking embarrassed.

“I’m Miyasaka Sayaka, that’s my name. I would like to be in your care from this april, senpai?”

What is it? Despite that mischievous smile, why does it make me so angry?

“Well, do your best.”

I only came to buy the new release I was looking for, and yet I’ve been caught up with such a weird encounter. If she enrolls here, everyone around will probably be influenced by her.

Why are you assuming she’ll get accepted? Nobody knows if she’ll get accepted.

“Sigh… I’m feeling so tired.”

“Huh, you look like it’s the end of the world.”

“Hey sis… What are you doing?”

“Hmm? I had the day off today, so I was just wandering around.”

“Oh, I see.”

I casually reply, and she playfully complains, “You’re so cold!” I might not have seen my sister since the cultural festival.

“So, what happened with Ayano-chan? How far did you two go?”

“W-Well, it’s not like…”

“Did you kiss?”

“Give me a break.”

“Aha, you did.”

These kind of situations are really irritating. It annoys me the most when I see them enjoying themselves, even though it’s not my own romantic situation.

Of course, the fact that she’s my sister also contributes to that.

“Yuusei-kun?”

I felt like my name was called from behind, so I turned around. The moment Ayano recognized me, she smiled and her face lit up.

“It’s definitely Yuusei-kun. Good day, onee-san.”

“Long time no see! You’re always cute, huh?”

“Oh no, it’s not like that at all!”

“Right? Yuuse–kun?”

“Yeah. Really cute.”

Upon hearing that, Ayano chuckled and smiled shyly.

“Oh! I’m here on New Year’s Eve.”

“Y-Yeah. Nice to meet you, too.”

“Huh? What’s going on?”

“I was thinking of spending New Year’s Eve at Yuusei-kun’s house.”

“Huh?! Staying over??”

“No, not until staying over…”

Hm? What’s this flow… Why does onee-chan looks like she just had an “Aha!” moment?

“Then let’s stay over!”

“Huh?! B-But…”

“That’s right, Onee-chan. Ayano might have something to do, or she might want to spend time with family.”

“Yeah~ Big sister wants to have a sleepover with Ayano.”

“A-As long as it’s not a bother.”

“Not at all! Well then, it’s decided!”

And just like that, within a matter of minutes, Ayano had decided to stay over on New Year’s Eve.

She’s my sister, but all I could think was, ‘Who is this woman?’

My sister throws a peace sign at me.

“How about a ‘thank you’ for your big sister?”

“Why?”

“Aww, getting all shy again~”

“Oh, uh, thanks.”

“Hehe! Good. So, should we stop by the convenience store?”

Saying that, she walked into the nearest convenience store. Wait, why do I feel like we’re suddenly not just going home together?

As soon as I got home, I collapsed at the entrance as if falling apart.

“Hey, it’s messy, so go sleep in your own room. And you’re in the way.”

I thought it couldn’t be helped, so I reluctantly got up with a sigh.

“Oh! Mom! Ayano’s coming over on New Year’s Eve as Yuusei’s girlfriend, so be nice!”

“Huh?! Girlfriend?!”

Upon hearing from Yumi that Ayano was coming over on New Year’s Eve, my mother, making quite a commotion, rushed over to where we were at the entrance.

And then, she stared at me intently.

“Well, I did notice you’ve been paying more attention to your appearance lately, but I never imagined it was a girlfriend.”

“That’s right, Mom. She even made me cut his hair.”

Yumi and my mother both looked at my face with grinning expressions.

What on earth is this? Not just Yumi, even my mother is teasing me… I’m starting to feel like I don’t want Ayano to be involved in this anymore.

“Mom, there’s a strange smell.”

“A strange smell? What are you talking about… Oh! The food! It might be burning!”

“Huh?! Seriously, don’t you need to watch it?”

Saying that, in a hurry, Yumi and my mother rushed back to the kitchen, making quite a commotion.

“Sigh, I’m so tired.”

I decided to rest in my room. I went up the stairs, entered my room, and laid down on the bed.

I never thought Ayano would be spending New Year’s Eve at my house.

It’s all because of that sister of mine. Well, maybe I should say it’s all thanks to her.

For better or worse, I do want to see Ayano’s appearance when she’s off duty, and maybe even her after-bath look…

Uh oh, I’m getting excited. I think this is a normal reaction.

But imagining someone you like coming out of the bath… Wait, if I’m already imagining things like this, does that make me a pervert?

As I was letting my imagination run wild, there was a knock on the door.

“What is it?”

“I had something to give you. Here, take this.”

Saying that, Yumi opened the door and threw something at me.

“What’s this?”

“Of course, you need this when things get intimate between you two, right?”

“Huh?!”

“Hehehe, show some gratitude.”

“No, why do you know the size?”

“…Heh.”

No, no, that’s not the issue. That’s a problem too, but that’s not it.

Yumi really just came to deliver that. After handing it over, she left my room immediately.

“Damn it! Right after I was having weird thoughts…”

No, no, that’s not possible. I’ve already decided I won’t make any moves unless Ayano gives the OK.

But still, if she does give the OK, what should I do? These confusing feelings continued.

“Well, um, just in case, okay? I don’t think you’ll use it, though. It’s just something my big sister randomly bought.”

I didn’t want to waste it, so I carefully stored what Yumi had given me in a drawer of my desk.
