CH 49

Chapter 49: I can’t get used to it.

We finished eating breakfast with no more issues, but there is one big problem. We have no plans today.

There are no games at my house. Or rather, there is an overwhelming lack of entertainment. My number one entertainment is the Yuri I hid in my closet, of course I can’t show her that. Therefore we have nothing to enjoy.

“So then, do you want to go out and play?”

“That’s fine, but where would we go?”

Summer vacation means there are crowds everywhere, and there is no particular place I want to go. Of course I have no doubt it will be fun wherever I go with Sara, but then couldn’t we just stay at home?

“If you don’t have a place you want to go, then let’s just relax at home. If Shiori-san is okay with that.”

“Of course it’s fine. Ok, we can always go out and play later, though I’m sad to say I don’t have anything to entertain you with.”

“Ahaha, don’t worry about that. I’m usually alone, so it will just be fun to eat and talk together.”

“If you tell my mother that she will tell you to just live with us.”

My mother is no longer holding back with Sara. At dinner yesterday, she’d constantly praise her saying “You are really lovely aren’t you?” “So cute and smart”. Eventually taking a jab at me with a worried “Is Shiori-san really teaching you how to study? A Tsubakigaoka student?”. Though I do know what she means.

My father, with his abundance of unlimit love for his daughter, was beside me and always followed up by saying “Shiori is cute!” and “Shiori is the top of her grade!”

I’m happy but it’s embarrassing to do it in front of my friend. . .my favorite person, so please stop.

I got the impression my mother wanted to say she should stay here all through summer vacation. However I don’t recommend it because I will hit my limit much before the end of our vacation.

“It was a little amusing when I met Shiori-san’s family. But when I heard you were the youngest, I just thought “Eh!?!”. but I’m convinced now.”

“Really? well that isn’t good. . .”

“Oh? You’re cute though.”

“Cut. . .”

So spontaneous. I’m surprised she’d say that, I can’t let my guard down.

I was lost for words, and she began to happily grin and eyes narrow. C-Crap, Why is such a beautiful girl giving a sly face.

“Shiori-san, are you perhaps embarrassed? Are you shy?”

“I-I’m not shy!”

“Well well, why is your face red? You’re so cute!”

“That’s. . .?!?”

I’m told I’m cute. It’s hard to say yesterday night got to her head, because Sara’s face was getting closer and closer. Please be more conscious for my sake.

If this was a Yuri game sleepover event, this and that happening while mother wasn’t home our relationship would quickly progress, you’d get at least some art scene. However I’m stuck with a tease.

I’m jealous. I wish I could have a love that went smoothly.

“Geez, it’s fine. I’m not used to being called cute.”

“Well that’s true, the first impression is that you’re a beautiful Onee-san. But I think a cute girl is more suitable for you now. It feels like I can talk with your father about how cute you are now.”

“Please, stop. . .”

If that happens, he would be more than happy to start talking about my past, which is frightening. Or rather it will definitely happen. I can see my mother taking advantage of it and it’d become an expose tournament.

I have a mature appearance and a solid personality. It hasn’t changed from the past and up to the president, I’ve always been bad at relying on others or being spoiled. Fortunately or unfortunately I’ve always been independent and able to deal with most things.

So thanks to that, I’ve lived much of my life without having the word “Cute” attached to me, but now it seems my favorite person is saying I am cute.

Impossible. I’m too foreign to this, and I don’t know how to react. I don’t even know how to control my response, my ears are burning up.

“You have a calm face when you’re in control, but when you’re pushed down you are the weak type, aren’t you?”

“Don’t say anymore, even if you notice it.”

“Ahaha, sorry~”

While apologizing she patted my head saying “But that kind of thing is cute” No longer is my Onee-san dignity there. I don’t care anymore.

Speaking of which, In the game, at first “Shiori” was a solid older sister type, but from the middle of the game, she gradually showed a more sloppy unreliable side, and she became an older sweetheart character.

I thought the game and I had a more distant personality, but maybe that isn’t the case. I can’t believe that I would act like this just because I fell in love. In the game “Shiori” unfamiliar with love turned into a sloppy comedic mess, I’d probably end up like that if I didn’t remember my past life.

I don’t mean to say that this state is “The real me” anymore, but it’s bittersweet if Sara thinks I’m cute even in this pitiful state. It may not be so bad either.

“I like Onee-san Shiori-san, but I like the cute Shiori-san even more.”

“I told you already. . . geez, I’m not used to it.”

Because of that, my neck was dyed red with the unconscious merciless kindness from this natural temptress. I’m not used to being in this situation, my eyes became teary. Finally I put my head down looking below the table to hide my face.

It took me a while to raise my face, because she’d tell me “Acting like that is also cute.”
