Chapter 1 : "That Conversation"
"…We, Well, Aki…"
"Yes?"
"If there's a chance next time, how about the three of us, including Hazuki go out together? It… It will be fun from time to time, right?"
"Yeah... I'm fine with that!"
"Really? Hazuki is really happy!"
"Where do you want to go, Hazuki?"
"Anywhere will do, no matter where we go Hazuki will be happy as long as onee‐chan and baka oniichan are together."
"Ahaha. That's quite the sweet mouth you have."
"Fufuu, I'm looking forward to it too. It won't be boring with Aki around."
"Now that you two say so, I'm feeling a strange pressure for some reason…"
"Baka onii‐chan, fight on!"
"Yeah, Aki, do your best!"
"Uu…I, I get it."
…
..
.
Yeah. I remember that conversation… Just now.
It happened when I bumped into Minami at the convenient store after I helped the annoying old granny at school with her new summoning system which let us see our summoned beasts' fusion. It was just that, but that old principal said it was made to see how our kids look like in the future. Yuuji, Hideyoshi, Muttsurini, Himeji–san, Minami, Kirishima–san(suddenly coming), Kudou–san(sudden appearance), and Shimizu–san(suddenly coming) also tried the system. The damn principal even made Ironman and Takahashi–sensei helped her too and made the teacher duo summoned their fused beast in that system. It is very surprising to see their child. I mean, really. It is Ironman, The guardian beast of the gates to the detention room!
That old damn principal is really a troublesome andannoying granny.
… It gives me headachesjust remembering that day...
Because on that day… Yuuji and I... GAHHHHHKK! PLEASE ERASE THAT FACE FROM MY MEMORY!
Dang it! It has always been easy for my brain to forget something academic.
But for crying out loud, I can't forget Yuuji and my son's face!
Whatever... What is more important is that day's after school event. Right. The conversation between Minami and I.
She asked me to go with her together with Hazuki–chan, her little sister.
We never had that before. It might really be interesting – Yes... That was what I thought.
Well, Hazuki –chan is a cute and sweet girl. So I believe she won't be an obstruction. Her older sister, on the other hand, is very rough, masculine, frightening, and manlike. Like now, she just locked me between her thighs and calf... GUAHHHHH!
"Akiiiiiiiiiii! YOU IDIOOOOT!"
"Stoooop! Stop it, Minamiiii! You'll break my spineeeee!" I, with all of my efforts, begged Minami to stop her insidious-murdering intent. She's always been like this everyday at school!
Finally, she let me go.
Good grief. I was at the end of my rope of life back then. Had that been a few seconds later, I'll be dead for sure. She is really fierce! Even though we are in public place now! To be exact, we are standing in front of the Fumitzuki school gate.
"How could you forget something important like your promise, Aki?"
I didn't remember to make it into a promise. Well, maybe I just forgot it…
Minami would never lie to me.
"I'm sorry, Minami... I forgot. I've been busy with studying you know"
"That's definitely a lie."
Ugh.
Is it that hard for her to believe that I can also spend my time on studying?
Himeji–san has been helping me all the time with studying when she stayed at my house because her parents went abroad for a few days. But not only that! I also studied on my own, even only 10 minutes and followed by me saying "good night world!"
"Aki… Hazuki and I are looking forward to this you know…?"
Minami looked sad. Her face is beet red. Well, it's not like I don't wanna go with them, it's just that I've forgotten the conversation and I've just recalled it today.
"Erm… How should I put this… I am also looking forward to it, Minami. It's just that the school is really troublesome and it's hard to find the free time", I said while scratching my head.
"How about tomorrow? We have a day off this Saturday, right?"
Minami halts for a second, then asks me back, "But we havea lot of homework, don't we?"
I don't think I could do that hell of math problems…
Wait… Since this is math…
"Ah! How about doing the homework together?"
Eh? Strangely, I felt a violent ominous killing presence on my back just when I finished my question.
"""HERETIC YOSHII AKIHISA… PREPARE FOR YOUR JUDGEMENT!"""
NO WAY! IT'S THE FFF! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!
And by the way…
WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH DOING HOMEWORK TOGETHER!?
My brain couldn't stand for a sec, guys! I'm not that smart!
"Minami! Let's go!"
"Eh? Wha…?"
Minami must be questioning my behavior because I suddenly stretched my hand to drag her left hand so that we could escape from those forever alone guys. We still have to finish our conversation, right? So we ran, ran, ran, and ran until we stopped right in front of shopping center. There are plenty of them in this city. I remember I once went here with Minami and Himeji-san when they got me to treat them although i was already ran out of money and only ate 1/64 of instant ramen for my breakfast.
Surely, it seemed that the FFF has lost our track. I can't feel their ill aura anymore.
I've been running every day my whole life. From Minami, nee-chan, or the FFF themselves. There's no way they could catch up with me that easy.
"Ah… I'm tired. Let's sit over there…"
I pointed at the park not too far from the mall.
I moved my leg to take the first step, but something stopped me.
"Aki…"
"What is it, Minami?"
"How… How long do you intend to keep holding my hand?"
"Eh?"
Great.
She will kill me right away.
"Ah! This is... Erm... You know... ahahaa", I panicked and tried to let go of her hand. However…
"You… You don't have to let it go, you know…"
Cou… Could this be…
"Are you telling me that you won't let go of me so that you can kill me easier?"
"Idiot"
We stopped the conversation at that and then continued our walk to the park. At this point, our hands are already separated. We sat on one green bench at the park. I'm amazed, there are many people here even though is almost dark.
! Wait!
Going together to a city park, sitting on the bench side by side… Isn't it... Isn't it just like a date?
I suddenly felt a pair of eyes gazing at my direction.
I looked back at her and instantly our eyes met.
And I meet a pair of green emerald eyes that shines clearly right in front of my wistful brown eyes.
Wow. I could even see my face reflected on Minami's eyes. Were her eyes always this... lovable?
We dozed off for a few second, then, we turned our heads away in unison.
I still have her gaze's picture in my mind and I think it is okay to treasure it.
"Aki, so… W-when will we do the homework?"
Minami broke the ice, without looking at me.
So… Does it mean that she agreed to do the math homework together?
Yay! Since it is Minami, I'm sure it will be easy for us to finish it!
I turned my head back to Minami then smiled.
"Well, since we want to go tomorrow, I think it's best to finish our homework today."
"That might be right. But where will we do it?"
"At my house!"
Hmm… I think there's something off with this conversation… I wonder…
"But… I can't leave Hazuki alone at home at such hour…"
Now that she mention it. It's almost 5 PM -
"Is it alright to bring her with me?"
"Yes. It's alright!"
"Okay then… Shall we go take Hazuki now?"
"Let's go!"
"Yes!"
Minami stood up and smiled brightly.
Just as I thought, she really, really is a charming girl.
Sadly, there are only a few people who are aware of this…
"Aki…"
"What, Minami?"
"I think it will be much better if I stay over tonight."
"Eh? Why?"
"Because… That way, we…"
"Hmm?"
"We… We could spend more time because we can go earlier in the morning at Saturday!"
Hmm… I also think it is a good idea…
What she said makes sense.
We will have more time on our free day if we go earlier in the morning.
So…
"Okay! You should bring your and Hazuki–chan's clothes for tonight and tomorrow!"
"So... is it alright for us to stay over?"
"What do you ask? Of course it's alright!"
What's with her question…?
Does she mean that it will be a lot of trouble if they stay over?
Hazuki–chan is a good girl. Yuuji and the other even said she is much more mature than I am.
She couldn't be a hindrance…
I could not think about the reason why she asked me like that.
We chit-chat on the way to Minami's house and without realizing it, we are already in front of her house.
"We are already here! Come in, Aki!"
Minami said as she opened the door. I could hear Hazuki–chan greeted Minami happily. I also could hear Minami saying that I'm standing in front of the door at the moment.
Hazuki –chan and I met shortly after that. She brought her Noin the blue fox doll with her.
"Baka onii–chaaan! Welcomeee!"
Hahaha… Hazuki–chan looked very delighted. She hugged me tightly.
I guess I'm really a magnet for little children.
If only I could become a magnet of cute girls… Then…
Ugh. I somehow managed to prevent myself from nosebleeding.
"Good evening, Hazuki–chan!"
"What are you doing here, Baka onii-chan?"
"Eh? Minami hasn't told Hazuki–chan anything?"
"No... Onee-chan didn't tell me anything…"
"I guess I will tell you then, Hazuki–chan!"
Upon hearing my explanation, Hazuki–chan smiled as bright as ever. She then dragged me into their living room and let me sit on the grey colored sofa. The living room is about as big as mine. Under the sofa I sat on, laid a blue carpet and across this sofa, there are two other sofas side by side. Each sofa is for one person seat. They have an LCD Television with a pair of sound speakers. The room is connected to a veranda by glass slide doors.
Speaking of which, this is the second time I visitedMinami's house. The first one was when we made a study group and went to Yuuji's house but we had to change place to Minami's because Hazuki-chan was alone at her house. Yuuji was the one who had the idea back then.
Hazuki -chan ended up studying together with us and fell asleep on my lap.
After chatting up with Hazuki–chan for a couple of minutes, Minami finally showed up. She wore a light blue T – shirt and short pants. She covered her upper body with an ivory colored jacket. She also gave Hazuki-chan a jacket. Well it does get a little too windy outside.
Minami brought two backpacks with her. One is smaller which I think is Hazuki's.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Aki."
"That's okay, Minami. Are you ready to go now?"
"Yaaay! Staying over at Baka onii–chan's house agaiiin!"
Ah. That's right. Hazuki–chan once stayed at my house for half a day...
Himeji–san and I had to take care of her back then.
After everything is done, we finally left Minami's house and headed to my house.
