Chapter 26 – My Girlfriend’s Story
I walked with Kotone-chan pulling me along.
It’s difficult to approach her, as she seems to have a strong personality and if you resist, you might end up falling down. Needless to say, it doesn’t mean that I’m weak.
We continued past the station to a less frequented area…
There was a park. There was a fair amount of playing equipment and covered benches. But not a single person. It looks lonely when there are no children playing outside.
“Pfft…pfft… Ahaha, I can’t take it anymore…”
As soon as I thought we were in the park, Kotone-chan started shaking. What’s wrong, what’s wrong?
She took her hands off me and burst out laughing, clutching her stomach. She can’t stop laughing, like something funny happened.
“Did anything interesting happen?”
I think there have been times when it’s been rather less funny. Am I just off in my sensibilities?
“Ahaha, because… Yuji-sepai, you…”
Me? I don’t remember doing anything that would make her laugh.
“It’s because Yuji-senpai said that he wore my maid uniform himself…and that he gave it to me as a present… Pfft! “
So that’s it!
I went to the trouble of sacrificing myself to lie for Kotone-chan, and she’s laughing at that? She’s really laughing at me!
“Damn it! Don’t laugh! I mean, how long have you been in that coffee shop?”
“Kyah! It hurts!”
I gave a chop to her head. She said it hurt, but she wouldn’t stop laughing. Looks like she wants another one, huh?
“I told you… I saw Yuji-senpai and onee-chan enter that shop together. Soon after that, I sneaked into the shop. I explained to the shopkeeper with my body language and he understood what was going on.”
“The thing that surprised me the most just now is around the fact that you explained it with your body language.”
I guess the body language got through to the owner. It’s not so much that it’s amazing, it’s that both of them are strange.
Kotone-chan catched her breath and wiped away her tears.
“Thank you. Yuji-senpai lied for me, right? I was really happy.”
She bowed her head. I can feel her genuine gratitude.
It makes me feel uncomfortable. I should just let this sort of thing slide.
“…I thought you had a part-time job today?”
“Yes, but… I think I’m going to skip today.”
Kotone-chan smiled prettily when she said that.
But the smile soon clouded over.
“…But I don’t want to take too much time off. It would be a nuisance to the shop, I like working and it’s very rewarding.”
She’s a hardworking girl. I’ve never worked, but I think I’m going to be the type of person who can never say I love my job.
“But, well…”
Kotone-chan is staring at me. Her eyes are as if she’s trying to tell me something. I’m definitely not mistaken.
“Right now… I want to talk to Yuji-senpai. Can you give me some time?”
My girlfriend asked me out. As her boyfriend, I just nodded in silence.

After Kotone-chan called in to say she was taking a day off work, we went on the swings.
I hadn’t been on a swing in ages and I was so excited! I was sitting and paddling, making a rusty squeaking sound.
“My first love started in the fourth grade.”
She’s talking about a love story out of the blue.
“But that person liked onee-chan.”
And suddenly she’s telling a heartbreaking story. I don’t know what to say at a time like this.
“I think that’s when I first became aware of being attracted to the opposite sex. And then, when I started to look at the boys around me with those eyes, I realized it.”
“Realized what?”
“It’s about the fact that they all like onee-chan.”
As expected of Fujisaki-san. Ever since she was in primary school, she’s been fascinating people around her. I wonder how many boys were intrigued by her.
“At that time, I was like, ‘Onee-chan’s so cool!’ I was so excited. Because my favorite sister was popular. I was happy too.”
“I see.”
I kept swinging on the swing. Kotone-chan was also pushing at a steady pace. We kept talking while pushing the swing.
“Since I started junior high school. I started getting confessions from boys.”
“Were you popular?”
“Yes, I’ve had a lot of boys come on to me.”
Kotone-chan’s expression remains the same. She neither looks proud nor embarrassed. She just speaks plainly.
“All the boys who confessed to me were after onee-chan. They had nothing to do with me, but they just wanted to get close to onee-chan.”
Kotone-chan laughed. It was a clumsy way of laughing.
“It seems that I give the impression of being an easy target. Well, I’m not perfect like onee-chan. I’m not particularly good at studying, sports, or getting along with people.”
An easy target, huh? I expect she probably overheard a conversation between a bunch of dumb boys by accident.
“I wanted to change myself because of that. I decided to do my best, to be good at something. So I joined a club. I did my best in the rhythmic gymnastics club.”
Rhythmic gymnastics club. Well, that’s what Ide told me.
Kotone Fujisaki was in the rhythmic gymnastics club until middle school. But she didn’t continue in high school.
“I was trying to do my best. I wanted to do my best and get recognition from someone. I wanted people to see what I had achieved, regardless of onee-chan.”
“Yes.”
“That’s why I worked hard and got good results. I thought this would make me a person I could be proud of.”
“Yes.”
“But it wasn’t. The first thing I heard was. ‘As expected of Fujisaki Ayane’s sister.'”
I didn’t even bother responding.
“I thought that if I tried so hard and it didn’t work, there was no point in continuing with rhythmic gymnastics. I’m just no good…”
“Why?”
“Why, you ask…?”
Kotone-chan stopped pushing. The swing gradually slowed down.
“If you give up here, it would be a waste. All the effort you put in would be in vain… That’s what they said. They’re such selfish people.”
I swayed on the swing. Kotone-chan also swayed on the swing like me. There was no happening where her skirt flipped up and her underwear could be seen.
The story about Kotone-chan isn’t finished yet. I thought I would wait to hear everything before talking about it, but if I don’t talk, then it wouldn’t be a conversation, would it?
