The next morning, Naoya came down with the flu.

A cheerful voice echoed in the classroom of class 2-3.

"Good morning, Shirogane-san."

"Ah..."

When she looked up, Koyuki saw Yui right in front of her with her usual cheerful smile.

Koyuki responded with a nod.

"Good morning, Natsume-san."

"What's the matter, why do you look so weak?"

"What is it, Shirogane-san?"

Yui looked confused after seeing Koyuki's flat reaction. Meanwhile, Iincho who saw their exchange approached them.

The two looked at each other and bowed their heads.

"You visited Naoya's house yesterday, didn't you, Shirogane-san?"

"Did something happen between you?”

"Ugh, yeah...... just a little......" he said.

Koyuki quickly looked away from the two people in front of him.

I will not be able to say that I have taken the initiative to ask for a kiss, not even until I die.

I've been thinking about this all night and to this day my face is still hot with embarrassment.

Why would I say such an embarrassing thing... And Naoya-kun will also take care of me later if I get sick...!

Today Naoya also recovered from his cold and they went to school together in the morning.

Once he met with Koyuki at his usual place, Naoya said with an unhinged face, "Yes. I'll pretend it never happened."

So she didn't really mention last night's incident and seemed unconcerned about it, but... the conversation was a little more awkward than usual.

Even the insensitive Koyuki could recognize it.

Naoya was also well aware of this.

Argh, what I did last night was really stupid...!

I covered my face and screamed into my chest, but there was nothing I could do.

Seeing Koyuki like this, both Yui and Iincho were dumbfounded.

"I don't know what happened between you.  But what's it like, is your relationship getting closer?”

"Well, sort of..."

Hearing Yui's question, Koyuki gasped and pondered.

A few days ago, to bridge the gap between Naoya and me, I asked the girls for advice.

Thinking about it since then...

"I think we could have gotten to know each other a little better..."

Koyuki expressed her sincere feelings in words.

I can be more honest in front of Naoya than before. Maybe it's not an exaggeration to say that the distance between us is getting shorter.

"How nice!" said Iincho with a radiant face.

After that, he continued with a happy expression on his face as he nudged Koyuki's shoulder.

"Yui told me you went to the pool with him. Too bad."

"I'm sorry... A few days ago, when Natsume and Iincho-san recommended it to me, I said I wanted to go."

"It's all right. Don't worry. On the contrary, I'm glad I was able to help!”

"Iincho-san..."

Koyuki was speechless at the sight of her new friend's cheerful smile.

Until now, my shyness prevented me from speaking properly with my colleagues. That's why his kind words touched my heart so much... and at the same time, I wondered.

"Why are you being so nice to me, Iincho-san?"

"Huh?”

"I thought I would only help you a few times. But..."

Other than that, I'm sure we hardly talked about anything else.

Even so, their kindness is evident.

Because of this, Koyuki wondered why she was so good to her.

"Ah, that's because I..."

The class representative shakes her head and smiles broadly.

"I fell in love with Shirogane-san a little. Do I need another reason?"

"Eh...?”

Koyuki's face turned red at this direct confession.

It was a word Naoya said to her so much that it was always heard. But, of course, Koyuki wasn't used to it and it was the first time someone said it openly.

Koyuki's face instantly flushed and she froze, while Yui hugged her from the side with her mouth open.

"I love you too, Shirogane-san!”

"Also Natsume-san, what's going on all of a sudden?”

"Just so you know, Yui! I won't give you to Shirogane-san!”

The class representative also hugged her from the other side. In that way, Koyuki was flanked by the two beautiful girls on both arms.

The other classmates looked at her with curiosity, but for the most part they looked at her with affection. Compared to the days when she was known as "Poison Snow White," they were much friendlier.

Koyuki has had no friends for a long time.

The last time she had someone she could call her best friend was in elementary school. As such, she did not tolerate this type of attitude.

The girls tried to grab both sides of Koyuki, who looked very confused.

"I've always wanted to know you better than Yui! Ever since I entered this high school."

"Hey, I was in the same class as her in first grade too, you know?"

"Well, I secretly notice pretty girls! ", he added.

"I didn't know!"

"The class rep's love is a bit difficult, isn't it? But, I saw Shirogane-san in a bathing suit the other day."

"Oh, sure, Shirogane-san! Next time, let's go to the pool together!”

"Yes, but..."

"Yes! Promote it!”

The class representative was so excited that she even asked me to join her as she clasped her hands together.

Really, why are they so nice to me? ......

Koyuki was half happy and half confused.

Instead, the class representative continued to smile at Koyuki.

"Shirogane-san has changed a lot, hasn't he? You're easier to talk to and your expression has softened a bit. I'm glad we can talk like this."

"Is that so?”

"Mnm, well... it's all thanks to Sasahara-kun!”

"Hwee?”

There, the class representative's smile faded slightly.

Koyuki's heart was confused by the somewhat sad expression on his face.

I didn't know why he was looking at her like that.

Somehow... I think I've seen it before...

An old memory began to appear in Koyuki's mind.

Before I could think about it, Yui changed the subject with a lighter tone.

"By the way, about that change... Class rep, you've changed a bit too, huh? I heard from a girl who went to the same high school as her. She used to be quite..."

"Woah! Don't talk about it!"

"Hm, so?" muttered Koyuki, cocking her head to the side.

Although I was anxious to know how it was...... I wasted no time in finding out when the person in question approached me with a very impatient expression on his face.

"Put that matter aside. Shirogane-san, you've developed your relationship with Sasahara-kun, right? Then, you must attack him harder! Push him and again!”

"Yes. But, I can't attack him any more than I already have..."

Not to mention that I insisted on kissing last night.

I was so embarrassed that I almost died just thinking about it, even after one night had passed. If we did that kind of thing every day, we couldn't cope.

The class representative put her hands on her hips and showed her disappointment at Koyuki's negative response.

"But, if you keep this up. He might get it from another girl, you know."

"Hmmm, I don't think that would happen to Naoya...."

The only girls there were Yui, Koyuki and Sakuya.

After all, Yui already has a boyfriend. Meanwhile, Sakuya fully supported Koyuki and Naoya's relationship. In other words, from the beginning, there were no girls around her who could be her love rival.

Besides, that man doesn't seem to be interested in any other woman besides me....

Koyuki said something that could not be considered love or certainty in his mind.

Come to think of it, Sakuya once sent a fake love letter to Naoya to test him. Naoya had rejected the letter and if something similar happened again, the result would probably be the same.

In addition, there were other factors that convinced her.

Koyuki scratched his cheek and opened his mouth.

"I don't think there are many people who like that spawn in the first place."

"What?"

"Is she...?”

Yui made a funny sound and I was surprised.

The class representative was also curious.

"Huh? What's the matter, Yui? You seem to be thinking of something interesting."

"Ah... no, it's nothing. It's just that I don't think she knows you yet, Shirogane-san."

"Hey, who...?”

Koyuki asked Yui, who had a mysterious expression on her face.

Then he whispered in my ear with an apologetic, albeit laughing, expression on his face.

"There are. Besides Shirogane-san, there are other girls who want Naoya."

"Huh?”

Koyuki unconsciously screamed as loud as she could.

For the time being, he has not foreseen any chaos over the weekend.

* * *

Saturday of that week.

The Sasahara family had a small visitor.

"Naoya Onii-chan! Hello!"

"Oh, Yuna. Long time no see."

When Naoya opened the door, the girl smiled at him.

Yuna Natsume. She is Yui's younger sister.

She was much younger than Yui, about 7 years old and had just entered elementary school this year.

She has brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, like her older sister, and big, bright eyes. She is a cheerful girl with a big smile that makes everyone around her feel comfortable.

She looks good in the lace and colored outfits typical of girls her age.

Yuna took Naoya's hand and smiled at him.

"Nee, Onii-chan... Who is that woman?"

"Nice to meet you..."

Then he realized that there was a stranger in the house.

Koyuki rigidly tilted her head toward Yuna, who was screaming in agitation.

Since it was her day off, she put on her summer clothes. Her slender arms and legs were so graceful that even Naoya would fall in love with her.

In front of the nervous Koyuki, Yuna looked scared at first.

But soon his face lit up.

"Onee-chan is so beautiful! You look like a princess."

"What, heeeeeeee?"

Koyuki cried out in disbelief as she was suddenly embraced by the girl.

But Yuna's attack did not stop. She looked directly at Koyuki with the innocent eyes that characterized a child and then burst with excitement.

"Woah! Your hair shines and your eyes are beautiful! Are you from abroad?"

"Yes, my father is from England."

"England! I know! So you're a princess of England?"

"Awww..."

Koyuki seemed to have grown tired of receiving too much praise.

Instead, Yuna looked at Naoya with a twinkle in her eye.

"Nee, nee. Naoya Onii-chan, who is this Onee-chan?"

"Um, this is Koyuki Onee-chan.”

Naoya pointed to Koyuki with a kind gesture.

"Er, how shall I put it? For now, she's my friend, but closer than a mutual friend."

"...Uhn, closer than a normal friend? " [TN: It seems that Yuna grasped the word friend as girlfriend judging from the raw. ]

As soon as she heard the word, the smile quickly disappeared from Yuna's face.

In no time at all, his face wore an expression of reluctance that made it hard to believe he was seven years old.

Yuna quickly pulled away from Koyuki and held tightly to Naoya's leg. She then stated in a very loud voice.

"No! Naoya Onii-chan is going to marry Yuna!”

"Ya-ya-ya-ya-veo-ahh?"

Hearing that word, Koyuki screamed like a broken radio.

Her skin turned so pale she looked like she was going to faint at any moment.

Hmmm, I know it's a bad idea....

Naoya could only watch the two's dispute with a faraway look in his eyes.

Naoya and Yui are neighbors, their houses are no more than a few hundred meters apart.

And both parents worked, often away on weekends.

Yui had her own activity club to practice on her days off. So Naoya had to take care of his younger sister on some occasions when he was alone on his day off.

This week was her first day of babysitting after a long hiatus.

This is a task I always do with reluctance, but today was different.

Earlier, Koyuki said, "I'll take care of Natsume-san's sister with you!”

And Naoya readily agreed. He replied, "Ah, you must have heard things from Yui and worried."

As you can see, Yuna really likes Naoya.

She would always say, "When I grow up, I will become Naoya Onii-chan's wife!"

Hence, Yui's father often looked at me with a mixture of envy and complexity.

Well, let's stop there...

Since there was no point in standing around talking in front of the entrance, I accompanied Yuna to the living room.

In the meantime, I took Koyuki to the kitchen under the pretext of making a cup of tea.

The real intention was to hold a strategy meeting or, rather, to follow up on the chaos of a moment ago.

"It's just something a kid said... It's not to be taken seriously."

"I may be a girl now. But no one knows the future, right? ", Koyuki said with a puffy face.

"Ten years from now, Yuna is 17 and Naoya is 27... something like that could happen! ", he added.

"At that time, Yuna will forget me..."

"You don't know, do you? I borrowed a light novel one night about a high school girl and a blue-collar guy who fall in love."

"What kind of coincidence is that, what kind of stuff are you reading?"

The reading selections were so clear that they made her dizzy.

Naoya sighed heavily as he held his aching head.

"Take it easy...my feelings are really just for you, you know?"

"I know, but..."

Koyuki blushed and said, "I'm sorry."

She seemed to be used to it, as she did not deny it hastily to hide her embarrassment.

Then, with an 'Ahem'... Koyuki pointed at Naoya with his index finger.

"I'll be watching you thoroughly to make sure you don't touch that little girl! I'll be watching you thoroughly to make sure you don't touch her!"

"Oh, so 'I wasn't sure if Naoya-kun would really cheat or not. So I have to confirm it with my own eyes...', right? Fine, do whatever you want."

"Muu, don't read my mind! You're an adult... can't you just ignore it?”

The strategy meeting ended despite Koyuki's anger.

When we returned to the lounge with a tray of light snacks and tea for the three of us, the atmosphere became uncomfortable.

The three of us faced each other across the chabudai and Naoya tried to sound cheerful to break the ice. [TN: 'Chabudai' is like a low table in a Japanese-style room. ]

"Yosh, let's play together today, okay?”

"Huh?”

"Why do you seem so dissatisfied..."

Koyuki shrugged.

She should be burning with the fire of love competition, but her response was so warm before that the current situation is hard to accept. As she has been called "Princess" before, she seems to be suffering from this difference in attitude as well.

Yuna looked at Koyuki and asked Naoya with an unhinged face.

"Nee, Naoya Onii-chan.”

"What's up Yuna?”

"Is Koyuki Onee-chan Naoya Onii-chan's girlfriend?"

"Fueeee?"

Koyuki's face flushed instantly and she was glad of the question.

However, Naoya only answered matter-of-factly. After all, it was a question she had already anticipated.

"No, she's not my girlfriend. We're not dating yet."

"So, Naoya Onii-chan has never kissed her?

"O-Oh, not yet."

Naoya quickly turned his face away from Yuna's serious face.

Although he knew he would be asked this kind of question, it made Naoya feel a little nervous.

After all, it's bad timing... that kissing incident just ended a few days ago....

Although the problem from the other day had been solved, both Naoya and Koyuki noticed.

It was a typical innocent question from children.

It was natural for them to feel the shock and Koyuki, for example, clutched his chest and trembled.

On the other hand, Yuna's reaction was the opposite of the two.

He gave a triumphant smile, as if he had won a battle.

"You guys haven't even kissed yet - then Yuna wins!”

"Yes?"

"Onii-chan, duck a little!”

"Err... Yuna, can we not do it now?"

"No! Come on, hurry up or I'll tell Yui Onee-chan!"

"Understood..."

The first thing Naoya did was to reluctantly crouch down because he knew what was coming his way.

At that moment, Koyuki screamed as if it was the end of the world.

"What?"

"He, he... how, Yuna has kissed Naoya Onii-chan hundreds of times, right!"

"No, no! As you can see, it's just on the cheek!”

Naoya interrupted Yuna's proud expression and rushed to defend herself.

Yuna has been with me since she was born. When I play, I often get kissed like this.

I explained, but Koyuki remained sullen.

"Even if it's on the cheek, a kiss is still a kiss - you're a playboy, Naoya-kun!”

"Wait, you've got it wrong! I'm only interested in Koyuki! Trust me!"

"Eeee! Naoya Onii-chan told me himself that when he grows up, we'll get married! So it's a lie?"

"What?"

Hearing those words, Koyuki looked at me sharply.

It was a look so cold it could freeze my heart.

"Phew, about that... it's more temporary or... because I hadn't met Koyuki yet, something like that..."

The last time I took care of Yuna was in early spring of this year.

I had not met Koyuki at that time.

After all, they were words that children used to say, words like "I'll marry Onii-chan when I grow up! " ...

Therefore, there is no deep meaning.

Still, Koyuki's eyes were very cold.

Anyway, I have to change the subject or he will look at me coldly...!

This is really a very bad situation....

Meanwhile, Yuna also reprimanded Naoya and said:

"So it's true, Naoya Onii-chan! You lied to me when you said we were getting married! Why did you lie to me, Naoya Onii-chan? Just so you know, you're going to hell for playing with a girl's heart!"

"Y-Yuna, where did you learn those words?"

"I often talk about the manga that Yui Onee-chan and my friends have at school! We often talk about those topics of conversation!”

"The mentality of elementary school children today is truly frightening...."

I took a deep breath, I could see a bright spot in this mess.

Naoya refrained from being overwhelmed and said with a smile.

"By the way, what kind of games do they play at that school? Tell me, we can play the three of us together."

"If Naoya Onii-chan really wants to play, I'll play with you..."

"In that case, me too! I'll play with you if you really want to play with me. That 'marriage' thing I'll ask you about later."

"Uh-huh."

Both nodded reluctantly.

It looks like my life is safe for now....

Naoya was relieved, but then Yuna cheerfully raised her hand.

"Then, Naoya Onii-chan! Let's play 'pretend marriage'! It's a fashionable game at school!"

"Hey, why do we have to do that? Instead of that game, we should play something else..."

The girl's innocent suggestion made Naoya reluctant.

That's because there are clear signs of chaos.

Koyuki, however, didn't care.

"Y-Yah, isn't it good? I think it's interesting, Yuna-chan.”

"Really!!! Thank you, Koyuki Onee-chan!"

"Is that so? Well, if Koyuki doesn't mind, then fine..."

"Yey~!!!!”

Yuna gasped.

He approached Naoya, wrapped his arms around his neck and hugged him.

"Naoya Onii-chan, you will play the husband and Yuna will play the wife, okay?”

"No way!"

"Oh my! Just what I thought."

Instantly, Koyuki raised her hips and screamed. Naoya had no choice but to sigh.

On the other hand, Yuna looked calm and laughed as she hugged Naoya.

"It's just a game - what's wrong with it?"

"No, you can't do that! Th-That's because I'm going to play his e-wife!”

"No way! Yuna will be his wife!”

They stared at each other without taking a single step and sparks flew.

Naoya could only watch and wait.

He could see that if he interfered, he would be caught between the two sides.

"In a situation like that, you have to give in. That Koyuki Onee-chan is so childish!”

"Phew... there are still things that can't be compromised!”

"But, it was Yuna who suggested the game - doesn't Yuna have the right to decide?"

"Ughh... So, let's decide cleanly with rock-scissors-paper... shall we?”

"Koyuki..."

Naoya couldn't help but feel sorry for her as she was pushed and beaten by a 7-year-old boy.

* * *

Five minutes later.

Naoya stepped out into the hallway, took a deep breath and opened the fusuma (sliding door).

"I'm home.”

"Welcome back!”

Yuna, with a big smile on her face, was there to greet him.

Receiving Naoya's newlywed greeting, the girl continued with a smile.

"Good evening, dear. Would you like to have dinner? Or... a shower? Or... Yuna?”

"I think I'll have dinner."

"Mn, it's okay!"

Yuna responded cheerfully.

Fortunately, he didn't seem to understand the meaning of the phrase, which was a relief....

Naoya sat down in front of the table while Yuna arranged light appetizers on a small plate taken from the tray while looking to the sides. She smiled at Koyuki, who was next to her.

"How was Koyuki today, did he behave well?"

"...Of course, she's a good girl.”

Koyuki puffed out her cheeks and turned her face away.

Around his neck was the necklace Yuna had made for him, written "Girl."

The game of rock-paper-scissors for the role of wife ended with Koyuki's defeat and it was refreshing to see.

He lost outright in the first round and after asking Yuna to change the rules to a three round bout, he continued to lose as before.

Naoya, who had anticipated this event, still did not know what to say.

At first, Koyuki really intended to join the game. But, now she was completely upside down after her defeat. She seemed very unhappy that Yuna took on her role as his wife.

Still...I want to see her jealous like this......

He also cared about me.

No matter how well he could read Koyuki's mind, it was still much more fun when he could actually see her jealous attitude.

Because of that, I couldn't help but smile at Koyuki who was leaning in annoyance and jealousy.

"Yes, here you go dear. Dinner is ready."

"A-Ah. Thank you, Yuna."

Naoya looked up when a plate of sweets was presented next to him.

Then Yuna, who was sitting across from him, looked at him expectantly.

Naoya immediately knew what was expected of him. So he popped a piece of chocolate candy into his mouth and smiled.

"Mn, it's delicious. Yuna is very good at cooking."

"Really? Yay! I love you honey!”

"Uuuuuuuuu..."

Yuna's face lit up.

Koyuki, for his part, bit his lip and trembled.

I'm glad to see her jealous, but I'm a little worried.

Yeah... I guess I'd better finish this game sooner or she'll explode with jealousy....

Koyuki would not be able to accept more than this.

Let's play this until Yuna is satisfied and then I will suggest the next thing to play.

"Ahem, Yuna... huh?"

Deciding that, I looked at Yuna's face, but suddenly there was something very surprising coming from the side.

When I turned my face, Koyuki seemed to have made up his mind.

"...Dad.”

"Eee..."

Suddenly, Koyuki said something like that which made Naoya stay in place.

Koyuki's eyes misted over with embarrassment and she uttered the request stammering.

"Dad... Umm, you're going to play with me too, right...?”

"Of course, daddy will play with you...!”

Naoya immediately responded by squeezing her hand.

Koyuki plays the son and Naoya the father.

So, there is nothing strange in the sentence... but the situation of being called dad by a classmate is extremely perverted and immoral... It's really terrible.

.... Sorry, father-in-law...!

The face of Koyuki's father, Howard, crossed my mind. So I mentally apologized.

"Oh, no, Koyuki-chan.”

Then Yuna interrupted.

He gently untied his hands, stroked Koyuki's head and smiled.

"Dad is tired because of his work. So I just play with mom."

"Eeee? But, I also want to play with daddy..."

"Don't be selfish, Koyuki-chan.”

"Uuuuuuuuuh, mommy is bad...!”

Koyuki fluttered, overwhelmed by Yuna.

More than a child's role-playing game, it looks very real.

There Naoya was quick to offer his help.

"Umu, Yuna. I don't mind. I just want to play with Koyuki once in a while."

"Dad...!”

"I told you daddy is tired of his work... Honey, so are you. You always spoil Koyuki-chan like this!"

"That must be the phrase your father said to your mother, right? ..."

The fluidity of the dialogue gives an insight into the situation of the Natsume family.

Yuna sighed and shook her head.

"God, you really spoil Koyuki-chan too much. Well, whatever. Before that, how about taking a bath together?"

"Yes, I got it...wait, bathroom?"

"Eeeeeeeee?"

Naoya and Koyuki froze.

Yuna, on the other hand, thought nothing of it and pointed to a corner of the room.

"Come on, get in there. That's the bathroom."

"O-Oh, so that's the bathroom..."

"Whew, thank goodness."

For a moment, the two completely forgot that this was a game of pretend.

As she made her way to the "Bath" as instructed, Koyuki's shoulders slumped with anxiety.

"I can't stand it... How much longer are we going to play this?"

"I think it will last until Yuna is satisfied. So, probably in a little bit longer.”

"Well, it's our duty as adults to accompany the child."

"Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm."

When Koyuki pulled her hair back, Naoya had no choice but to respond.

I'd give her a heartfelt comment about how well she played the part of a child for an adult size...but I know she'd get mad. So I kept it to myself.

For the time being, I have decided to "take a bath".

Naoya sighed noisily as he sat in the so-called "Bathroom" in the corner of the room.

"Haa, the hot water is so cozy!”

"Yes, I'm in."

Next to him, Koyuki also sat down and rubbed his arms.

This is a typical bathroom view. But...

"Nee, Koyuki-chan!"

"Mn?"

It was then that the angry voice suddenly appeared.

Yuna scolded Koyuki, who shrugged, raising her eyes.

"Give yourself a proper bath!”

"Wait... Heee... I'm not sure how..."

"If you don't listen to me, I'll cut off your pocket money!”

"Ugh, no, I will..."

Koyuki was confused, but seriously pretended to bathe properly.

First, take a hairpin, take a shower and wet your hair... Put shampoo in the palm of your hand and... Then wash your hair... Yuna pretended to do it in front of Koyuki to show the correct way to wash.

Naoya stared blankly at what was happening next to him.

Did you start the bath by rinsing your head first?

After that, Koyuki started washing her body as well. Arms, armpits, neck, behind the ears.

Even though I was dressed and we were in the living room. But I felt a strange embarrassment, as if I was peeping into the bathtub.

While I was still a little nervous, Koyuki finished washing his body.

Yuna nodded in satisfaction as she watched him.

"Good. In that case, take a good bath!"

"Yeah... Um, Nao- Dad, move over a little.”

"Huh?”

Naturally, Koyuki came and sat between Naoya's legs.

In this game, it is a stratagem in which father and son get into the bathtub together.

But in reality, it's like hugging the girl you love from behind.

What is this situation?

Naoya swallowed saliva and put his hands in his lap.

I could clearly see that his ears were bright red.

Although they used to see each other often, like at the swimming pool and during visits when Naoya was sick, it seems that they are still not used to each other. Naoya felt the same way.

"Let's count... one... two..."

"Three...four...five......"

The two awkwardly counted aloud.

Around thirty, Yuna got bored and let them leave early, which was both a relief and a disappointment.

Then, after getting out of the "Bathtub", Koyuki began to nod sadly.

* * *

"Ugh, how embarrassing! ...I'll never play with little houses again!”

"Well, Koyuki-chan did a good job.”

Naoya could only comfort her by stroking her shoulder.

Then Yuna reached over and stroked Koyuki's head with a big smile on her face.

"Yes, Naoya Onii-chan! Good girl, Koyuki-chan.”

"Eeee... Good girl? Me?"

"Of course. Mom and Dad are very proud of you."

"I'm proud of you...!”

Koyuki's face looked shocked, but soon her cheeks reddened with embarrassment.

"Ehehe, mom and dad are praising me!”

"Koyuki, wake up. Hey, Koyuki."

Naoya lightly shook Koyuki's shoulder with the intention of waking her up.

The role of a child is too much for her and it is not a good idea to go beyond it.

"Enough with the house games, what do you want to play now, Yuna?”

"Hmm. Well, maybe Yuna wants to go out."

"Going out? You mean to the park?"

"Eee... But, it's hot today, you know! It's better to play indoors."

Koyuki looked at the sunlight streaming through the window and said aloud.

But Yuna shook her head, "I don't mean the park."

"I want to go to the mall."

"What, a mall?”

Yuna rummaged through a pile of brochures in a nearby shopping mall.

This is where Koyuki and I had our first date (accompanied by his younger sister) the other day.

After turning around, Yuna said with a glowing face.

"Nyanjiro came here today! Yui Onee-chan told me to ask Naoya Onii-chan to take me there!”

"Come on, Naoya-kun!”

"Okay, I'll take care of two people."

Naoya couldn't help but laugh when they asked with their faces lit up.
