I couldn’t stand still after witnessing the two-timing of Komori and Tenshi.
I immediately rushed to my sister’s house to execute my plan.
“Ask Shota-kun out on a date!? Wait, what are you talking about, Kengo!? Are you stupid?”
“That’s my line. I even played the role of your lover. You’re not planning to wait for Komori to approach you like this, are you?”
“That’s…”
“Certainly you’ve succeeded in making Komori jealous. But in order to take him away from Takamine, you need to get Komori to break up with her willingly. You don’t think that can be accomplished just by waiting like this, do you?”
“Hahh~”
The strategy is really simple.
The plan is to get my sister together with Komori in order to tear Komori and Tenshi apart.
I admit it. I’m getting surprisingly impatient myself.
This is because Komori has a charm that captivates women.
Tenshi’s clinginess is exactly the same as it was with my sister. And he even has the perfect girlfriend, Mayuka Takamine.
To be honest, I think deep down I had looked down on Komori. I subconsciously stopped thinking of him as an insignificant man.
But now I am afraid of this Shota Komori. Because I can’t grasp his whole character. There is no doubt that he has something that I don’t have. It’s precisely because I cannot identify it that I am afraid of him.
So when I saw Tenshi crying out, I made up my mind. I decided to put this plan into action.
Hah~. Call me pathetic. Laugh if you want.
But I don’t have the luxury of pretending right now.
Objectively speaking, my sister, Shizuku Natsukawa, is definitely one of the best in the country in terms of appearance and talent.
Of course, you can tell by looking at the people around her who are making a fuss that this is not family favoritism.
I think that if such a woman were to seriously approach Komori, even he would fall for it.
It’s a really miserable operation, isn’t it? It’s terrible in many ways.
But I’m grasping at straws, and I’m going to carry out this plan.
Of course I’m going to work on repairing my relationship with Tenshi too.
Even if my sister manages to capture Komori, I can’t just pretend that I don’t know everything.
At some point, I need to face Tenshi and set up a meeting to discuss the matter.
Since I took on the role of my sister’s lover in the first place, the plan to capture Komori is a boat I’ve already embarked on.
I can’t believe that I went from half-heartedly cooperating to giving my full support and assistance as soon as I saw the benefit for myself. I think I’m a real cash grabber, really. (T/N: Opportunity taker.)
But what’s wrong with being cowardly, pathetic, and miserable?
I’ve decided to open myself up to it.
Of course, I’m well aware of how bad this strategy is.
After all, the end point is,
–Komori is to snatch my fake girlfriend, Shizuku Natsukawa, and I’m to recapture Komori’s second girl, Tenshi.
It’s really crazy when I think about it. I don’t even know what this means anymore!
Now that I’ve made my decision, let’s hurry up and do it right. No, in this case, the bad thing is to hurry up.
At any rate, it’s meaningless unless we act.
Luckily, it’s the weekend.
So…
“By the way, do you have Komori’s contact information?”
“Eh? Yeah. I asked him when we were a fake couple, but… We haven’t been in touch at all lately.”
“If so, chat him first. Ask Komori out on a date right away.”
“What?! I-I-I just showed Shota-kun that I have a boyfriend today, remember? How can I ask him–” (T/N: Natsukawa said ‘nyan’ here at the start, don’t know how to put it in english, though.)
“Baka~. Any reason to ask him is fine. For example, you can ask him to pick out a present for me. You declared Komori as your servant, right? If so, it would be just right from a character standpoint.”
“B~But I can’t believe I’d be spending time alone with Shota-kun… If I get pregnant, who will take the responsibility?”
That won’t happen! I mean, how many times have you two been alone when you were a fake couple?
If you get pregnant as soon as you two are alone, you’d have a big family!
“B~Besides, if I’m going to ask Shota-kun out, I should make the best date plan so that he can enjoy himself first.”
“How long does it take you to plan that date?”
“A year at least.”
“Too long!”
If you spend a year asking someone out on a single date, it’s going to take you decades, or even centuries, to conquer Komori!
Idiot! Dismiss the idea! Dismiss it!
“But…”
“No ‘but’-s allowed!”
“What’s with you all of a sudden? Just a few days ago, you were reluctant to play the role of my boyfriend… What kind of change of heart is this?”
My sister is skeptical of my aggressive attitude.
Damn, you’re sharp only when it comes to this kind of thing, huh?
…No, I’m not surprised she has doubts.
That said, I can’t let my true intentions slip out…
In the first place, even she is using me, her brother.
I wouldn’t be wrong to take advantage of my sister either. Give and take. It’s mutual.
I decided to cover it up without explaining the situation to my sister.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not motivated by anything. To be honest, I just want to be done with this as soon as possible. But if I leave it to you, it would take forever to make progress. That’s why I’m lending you my wisdom.”
“…I see.”
My sister is skeptical. Apparently, her eyes are not completely convinced. Well, that’s okay. I have no intention of completely deceiving her.
“What are you going to do? I understand that you are scared to ask him out on a date, but if you weigh the possibility of going on a date with Komori against a few minutes of fear, which would you lean towards? Imagine it. The part where you’re ‘ahhn’-ing Komori with a homemade bento, him lying on your knees, holding hands, or maybe even just getting into a good mood and locking lips together in the sunset–AHH!!!”
While talking, I was hit with a cushion on my face.
Needless to say, I don’t need to tell you who it was that threw it. It was my sister.
“That hurt… What the h**l are you doing!?”
I yelled while throwing the cushion aside.
When I looked at my sister’s face, it was as red as an apple. It was so bright that steam was rising from her face.
Her embarrassed expression… What in the world did she fantasize about?
“I take Komori-kun home and go straight up to being adults, too–“
Whoa. I was imagining a sweet and sour date like a student, but it seems that the woman in front of me is planning to have a more advanced relationship.
I never thought the day would come when I would have to worry about a man’s chastity instead of a woman’s… Although I don’t think it’s a good idea considering that she’s a maiden, it’s convenient.
If Komori and my sister wants to make an agreement and make it an established thing, that’s great. Komori will have to take responsibility if they cross the line. He then should leave Tenshi alone.
When it comes to that kind of relationship, there’s no way my sister would allow Komori to be two-timing her. She is a jealous and possessive woman. There is no one more reassuring than she is to me right now.
“Alright. I’ll ask Shota-kun out like Kengo said. In return, I won’t let you sleep tonight.“
“W-Whatever you want…”
I really didn’t sleep a wink after that.
It was because my sister had me go along with her date planning.
When the clothes fashion show started around 3 a.m, it was at this time that I thought about biting off my tongue off.
I beg you, my sister… If Komori’s favorability goes down because of this and you come back to me, I’m going to kick your a*s. Be prepared.
