I remember spending my summer vacations in elementary and middle school idling around from morning to night, but in high-school, I have a few days where I went to school and studied.
It’s on summer cram school.
The destiny of entering an elite high-school is something you must accept.
However, in our school, there’s no summer homework.
It’s just a tie.
Even though it’s a summer cram school, the fundamentals in the morning and I’m not really struggling
「Phew.
I worked hard today」
Mikiri’s stretching out after finishing the subjects today.
I’m also stretching, massaging my shoulders and rotating my neck.
If you neglect self-care, you’d end up feeling drained.
We went to a vending machine in the remote cram school area, bought juice, and took a breather.
Studied for so long for this moment.
As usual, Mikiri bings up a topic while drinking apple juice.
「Hey Mamoru, got any incidents in your middle school?」
「Incidents?」
「Yeah.
Something that brought color to your everyday life」
「Right」
But that depends on the severity of the event.
If a criminal incident happened, that would be bleak.
Fortunately, middle-school was peaceful so there weren’t any incidents like that I recall.
「I read an incident over the internet about a stray dog wandering into the school grounds and causing commotion at a festival, but I don’t see any stray dogs here」
「I don’t think they were even back then.
Is that common in the countryside?」
Mikiri pondered, pressing fingers to her chin.
Seems like there weren’t any incidents at Mikiri’s school too.
I then remembered.
Speaking of which, there was that one incident.
「There was this cute girl in the second-year English textbook and the boys were totally hyped up」
「Oh.
That happens.
They use cute characters to pique your interest on a subject」
「It’s better to read manga instead of a textbook for that」
When cute anime girls pop out in textbooks, they suddenly look adorable.
Why is that?
Mikiri looked this way, looking puzzled.
「But, what’s the big deal? That sounds peaceful」
I laughed wryly.
「Well, the girl found a boyfriend at the end, and that was such a huge event where the guys got destroyed over it」
「That sounds funny」
「I wonder how many of them got awakened into NTR fetish.
What a dreadful book」
I was puzzled by the popularity of NTR stories in Japan, but perhaps a surprising amount of people wake up after having such brain-shattering surprise.
There’s also a theory that they might be just enjoying it out of hedonistic indulges.
We tossed the empty cans into the trash bins and walked off.
「Where are you off to next? Should we go out?」
「Right,
How about we go there?」
「There?」
I led Mikiri to the courtyard.
That’s because I’m visiting Tochika-chan.
This was our secret spot, but Mikiri’s fine.
Just as expected, Tochika-chan was lying quietly on the bench on the shade of the tree in the courtyard, letting out cute snoring sounds.
This is the best place to sleep on.
I knew she’d be here.
「So this is where you go.
This is Tochika’s secret spot」
「Don’t tell others」
「I won’t」
While we were talking, Tochika-chan started mumbling in her sleep.
「….The dog’s forefoot smells like edamame」
「Really?」
「I think it smells like popcorn」
「It smells sweet」
As usual, what a cute girl.
Even her sleeptalk is cute!!!
「What now? We probably shouldn’t wake her up」
「Agree.
Let’s let her sleep in peace」
As we were preparing to leave, Tochika-chan opened her eyes.
Her eyelids flicker.
「Hmm.
Onee-chan, and Senpai」
『Good morning』
We’re smiling at her, Tochika-chan wiped her eyes and stretched her arm.
「I was playing with a dog in my dream.
The happiness still lingers」
「That happens.
The afterglow of a good ream lingers for a while after waking up」
「I like those scary dreams too.
I love the relief I feel when I wake up and think “That was just a dream”」
Well, I get how you feel.
It’s exciting to dream.
It’s like watching a movie.
「Still, Tochika loves taking naps even back then」
「I mean, it feels nice」
「I also think that Tochika-chan’s cute when sleeping.
It is soothing」
「It’s embarrassing to have senpai see my sleeping face」
Tochika-chan smiled bashfully.
That’s what’s great about it.
「Tochika-chan loves taking naps and eats a lot」
「That’s right!」
Tochika-chan puffed her chest with pride.
「I’m driven by the three basic desires!」
「…………」
I was dazed, and Tochika-chan’s face turned bright red.
Tochika-chan’s blushing furiously.
「U-Uhm, I didn’t mean to say that my sex drive is also strong…」
「No, your sex drive is strong」
Mikiri’s grinning
Geez, what a big sis you are.
You immediately went and teased your little sister.
We settled on the bench and chatted about trivial stuff.
No incidents happened it was peaceful.
「Don’t you think that YOASOBI has more good songs on the gentle side compared to the intense and sharp ones like “Idol”?」
「I like “Mou Sukoshi Dake”
It feels really faint」
「I like “love letter”
The performance I gave last competition in middle school left an impression on me」
The mood and the balance among us three felt superb as we talk.
It’s warm.
「While we’re at it, Tochika-chan.
Could you play us a song as usual?」
「Yes.
Then, this is what I’ll play today」
Tochika-chan took out her clarinet and set it up.
The mood has changed,.
Mikiri watched her with such gentle look.
It warms my heart to see that she really loves her sister.
Tochika-chan began playing.
A concert just for us, with nobody else but family.
It was such a luxurious time.
Tochika-chan exhaled after her performance.
Mikiri and I clapped our hands.
「That was Spitz’s “Robinson”」
「That was a simple, good song」
「Tochika’s choice are all hits」
「I’m embarrassed」
Tochika-chan’s feeling bashful.
So cute.
I’ll pat her head.
I stroked Tochika-chan’s head, she narrowed her eyes, looking tickled.
Mikiri also pats Tochika-chan’s head.
What a happy space.
Today’s a hot day, but the sunlight in this courtyard is softening.
The wind blowing through is cool and pleasant, so I closed my eyes.
Sometimes, days like this are nice.
Hooray for a day where nothing happens!
