Chapter 87: Chapter 86: Excuse Me, What?!

I’m bamboozled by the turn of events. Out of nowhere, Yokota, the nerdy girl who seats right beside me in class, and one of our close friends whom we befriended this week said something unbelievable, that I started thinking if I’m having some hearing issues. Did she really, said ‘Kiss me.’?

“Excuse me, what? What did you just say, Yokota? I think I have some problem with my hearing.”

In response, Yokota just realized the thing she blurted out, and she hid her blushing red face. Upon seeing Yokota acting like that, the thing that I just heard from earlier was accurate. And, I didn’t mishear anything. Watching her adorable red face as she tries to hide it, I crouched down in front of her and looked up at her.

“Yokota, um, are you interested in me?”

“Aah... Wooo... Okita... P-Please, don’t talk to me. I want to die! Waaah!”

Whoa, this is the first time I saw Yokota acting like this. I turned around to check Naoki and Yuki and I saw they were wide awake now, but they stayed silent as the two watches me and Yokota; it bewildered them. When they saw me looking at them, the two only nodded, implying they’re okay now. I nodded back in response. Now, my attention went back to Yokota.

“Hey, I’m not going anywhere here until you answer me.”

“...” Yokota didn’t respond.

Then my inner mischievousness was telling me to remove her hands out of her face forcefully, so I did it. What bloomed in front of me was Yokota’s cute red face. Her eyes were teary as her gaze met mine. I smiled at her.

“What’s your answer?”

“O-Okita... Are you this forceful...?”

Yokota tried giving me a sharp glare, but it didn’t work against me since I can see her wavering eyes while glaring at me. That’s why it didn’t affect me. My face got closer to her so in response, she tried moving her back away from but it only made me approach her more. Knowing that she can’t do anything about it, she looked me in the eye sharply once again. But it’s still the same wavering eyes.

“So? Care to tell me?”

“...” Yokota’s mouth started opening and closing by itself, as she tries to find an excuse.

What happened to the dignified Yokota? Do I need to push her? I become more curious about Yokota after she said that to me. After all, why did she blurt that out? Perhaps because of Naoki and Yuki? I did kiss them earlier to calm them down. However, that’s not a normal reply from a person who’s embarrassed by the kiss. She looked like she wanted to try kissing. That’s why my curiosity piqued even more.

With my face close to hers, I said something in a low audible voice to which she’s the one who can hear it. “Yokota, I’m not here to make fun of you. I’m genuinely interested in why you said that to me. To be frank, is there any particular reason why you said that to me? I’m serious, Yokota.”

Staring at her eyes deeply. She did the same, but with a doubtful look. As I was waiting for her response, I suddenly felt a hard force bumped at the back of my head. *Bam*

I exclaimed in pain. “Kuh! Ouch!” then I turned my head around and saw Yuki with a menacing smile. I gulped and released Yokota’s hands. After that, I stood up while rubbing the back of my head, and went to Naoki’s side. It made Yokota sigh in relief as Yuki caresses her back while glaring at me.

What? Am I the bad guy now? I literally just got curious.

Then I turned my attention to Naoki, who’s still a bit off. I put my hands around her head and leaned it against my shoulder. Though she seems okay on the outside, deep inside... That’s why I’m caressing Naoki’s head as I watch Yuki comforts Yokota.

────── ✯ ──────

Yuki, Naoki, and I were now walking together alongside many students from different schools. As usual, they were looking at us like some piece of attraction in an art exhibit. After earlier, Yokota parted ways with us without even saying goodbye. She went ahead of us, leaving us three in the room, but before she left, she glanced at me for a little then went ahead.

At that time, I started thinking that Yokota may like me but at the same time; she had this curiosity look whenever her gaze would end up on my lips. Oh well, I’d rather think of Shiori right now. Her words still linger inside my head.

‘I’ll be waiting for your recovery, darling~♥ I hope for some reward since I’m trying my hardest to hold back.’

Recovery...

She really knew about my mental illness. Is that one of the reasons she’s holding back? Shiori’s mysterious self was something I can’t look down. Reminiscing something about the past, that’s the same feeling I got when I met Yuki for the first time last week. Her mysterious aura frightened me. However, unlike Yuki, Shiori’s unknown and mysterious background was more worrying than Yuki’s because... I don’t know... I only got the feeling of it...

While walking, my thoughts got cut off when I saw a little green-haired girl walking alongside her older sister, who looks like an elementary student. Upon noticing them, I called Yuki and Naoki, then pointed in a certain direction.

Naoki is now back to normal after earlier, though she kept apologizing over and over again, which took me some time to stop her. Next, Yuki, basically after coaxing Yokota, Yuki started blabbering how I need to be considerate towards a maiden’s heart and doing what I did earlier will have some complications with her heart or something. Utterly nonsense, I do not know where she got the idea of complications with her heart, but she’s right about how I acted earlier.

I looked like a douchebag earlier... Perhaps I should apologize tomorrow... I shouldn’t be forcing her into a tight spot that makes her uncomfortable. What if, because of what I did, she’ll now avoid us? Giving a thought about it, I felt more guilt.

Afterward, we went towards Rie-chan and Hara-senpai. Upon noticing our arrival, it surprised the two when they saw our faces.

“Hello, Hara-senpai, Rie-chan.” I smiled, waving, then I crouched down and patted Rie-chan’s head.

Naoki and Yuki greeted them too.

“Oh, ah. I didn’t expect to come across you three, good afternoon.” Hara-senpai responded in surprise.

“Good afternoon, Nee-san’s and Nii.” Rie-chan greeted us.

Analyzing them, I could say that they didn’t come from kindergarten since the classes ended earlier. Plus Rie-chan is wearing casual clothes while Hara-senpai is still in her school uniform.

“Did you pick Rie-chan from our house?”

“Yeah, she was there a while ago, so I picked her up. Well, it’s always been like that since I’m part of the club. Ayaka-san was the one who picks up Rie from her school then after school, I’ll head straight to your home for Rie.”

“Oh, I see. You’re the only person who picks her up?”

“Yeah... Our parents have their own works, then my other sister... We don’t really have good relation with her... That’s why...” Hara-senpai said in a sad, painful expression.

“Sorry... that must be hard for you...”

“No, no. It’s okay, I’m used to it. I’m grateful to your Aunt since she had helped me a lot over the past year.”

“I see, I’m glad. If you have any problems, you can talk to us, we’ll help you out.”

“Eh?! N-No, it’s no—”

“Senpai, just accept it. I’m sure that Aunt Ayaka views you two as part of the family, plus I remember I made an oath about being Rie-chan’s brother. Right, Rie-chan?”

Rie-chan’s eyes glistened upon hearing what I said and nodded cutely with her bobbly head. I continued patting her, and she seemed to enjoy it. After I said that, Hara-senpai looked at me with widened eyes. She responded by saying.

“O-Oh... Okay... Thank you... Um, we’ll need to go, take care.”

Afterward, Hara-senpai and her little sister left the scene, leaving the three of us again. The look on Rie-chan after bidding goodbye to us was painful to look at because I could see her eyes getting teary, which reminded me of Yokota earlier. As for us, we continued walking.

“Tatsu’s going left and right, picking up girls whenever he saw one,” Yuki said in displeasure.

“What? Excuse me? When did I do that?”

“Yokota? Remember? We just talked about it earlier, you fiend.”

“Um, okay? She may blurt something out of the ordinary, but that’s mostly because of her curiosity.”

“T-That’s... Yeah, you’re right... Perhaps what we confessed the other day got her.”

The confused Naoki interjected, “What are we talking about now?”

“Nope, nothing.”

“Yeah, nothing.”

Because of that, Naoki looked at us with suspicions. Truth to be told, Naoki wasn’t herself earlier even though she looked bewildered earlier; however, she’s like half-asleep that time as to why she doesn’t remember anything about what happened to Yokota and me. Only Yuki knew what happened.

From now on, I need to be more vigilant in my surroundings as I don’t know what kind of danger lingers in the dark. Such as the thing with Shiori. But for now, I need to worry about my condition first.

As we’re getting closer to the house, I remembered something about making a promise to Asuka, the ice cream promised from yesterday. Do we need to go out? Or just buy some ice cream on the way home? Well, we’re near the house and the convenience store is a kind of far away from here, plus we need to turn around.

“Oh, by the way, Yuki. Can I request some ice cream for Asuka?”

“Yeah, no problem. What kind?”

“Kind? Anything, as long it's ice cream. But, I prefer vanilla.”

“How about you Naoki?”

“Anything, I’m not a picky eater when it comes to desserts.”

“Okay then, we’ll have an ice cream party then!”

“Yeah, good luck with that. Asuka would love the party, but you’ll face the wrath of Auntie because of it.”

“Hehehe~♥ Just kidding~♥”

────── ✯ ──────

Sitting alongside Naoki, Yuki, and then Asuka who was sitting in my lap eating her ice cream that came from a luxurious restaurant, that Yuki said was one of the best restaurants in Tokyo in serving desserts. In honesty, I do not care if they came from that kind of place since ice cream is ice cream for me. Nonetheless, it’s still one of the best ice creams I ate.

As per Aunt’s warning, Asuka was only allowed to eat 1 serving because her teeth are more sensitive and more prone to cavities.

While watching the television, Yuki said something which took my attention.

“I’ll be sleeping here later.”

“Hm?!”

“Forgot to tell you, Tatsu. Yuki will be sleeping with us later because she felt left behind yesterday.”

“Hm?! Seriously?”

What...? Are these two serious? Or are they fucking with me right now?

“Sleeping with Nii? Asuka wants that too! Nii! Nii! Asuka wants to sleep beside Nii!”

Now, look what you two started.

“Asuka... You can’t, your mama will get lonely if Asuka is not beside her when sleeping.”

Adding one more will be hell for me. I even had a hard time sleeping yesterday because of Nee-san and Naoki hogging my body.

“Hm... Asuka doesn’t want Mama to be sad. But... I want to sleep with Nii... Mouu...” Asuka’s eyes were getting watery as she’s having a hard time choosing.

Then out of nowhere Aunt Ayaka said something horrendous. “How about letting Nii sleep with us in our bedroom, Asuka?”

“Hm?!”
