After the suspension, Uehara-san began to approach me aggressively.

More specifically, the skinship has increased. She crosses her arms more and more often, and every time she does so, she presses her chest against me. Moreover, since we were not in the right place, we were starting to get a lot of rumors in the class.

「Tōyama, would you like to go out on our upcoming vacation?」

After school, Uehara-san spoke to me while I was doing business on library committee.

「I am doing my job now. And talking is strictly prohibited in the library.」

I tried to act like a member of the library committee.

「Ehh— A little bit is fine. Right now, there’s only Takai-san.」

Well, I’m not a very serious person myself, so I don’t mind at least talking about it.

Now Takai is just reading in her usual seat.

「…Okay, I get it. So where do you want to go?」

Recently, Uehara-san has frequently invited me out for fun, but I have always given her a reason and turned her down.

I felt bad about constantly turning her down, so I decided to accept her invitations.

「Eh–?! Will you go with me?」

Uehara-san reacted as if she thought she would be rejected again. I am sure that she always invited me to join her because I was sure she was up to no good.

「Somehow I feel bad for always saying no.」

「Yes! So where would you like to go?」

「Didn’t you have someplace to go?」

「Oh no, I didn’t think about it, thinking I’d get turned down again anyway.」

It seems that Uehara-san was only inviting me to join her because she thought it was a bad idea after all.

「Well then, do you want to go see a movie? There’s a movie I want to see. It’s an anime, will that be okay?」

「I don’t mind if it’s an anime. The one that’s showing now is…… maybe it’s that one?」

It’s based on a comic book that was a huge hit, and the movie is making a lot of noise about being the highest-grossing movie of all time.

「Could it be Demon Avenging Sword?」

I mentioned the title of my current topic.

「Yeah, I’ve read the comic and watched the anime, so I was hoping to go to the movie.」

Come to think of it, Uehara-san was originally more of a comic book fellow than a novelist.

「I’m surprised Uehara-san watches anime.」

Uehara-san is also good at reading novels, so she may not reject anime, but I felt that she would not watch it because of her image.

「I usually don’t watch much, but I did like to watch Demon Avenger. Tōyama, did you watch Demon Avenger?」

「I read all the comics at an internet cafe the other day. I haven’t seen the anime, but I’ve always wanted to see the movie, so this might be just the thing.」

「Yes! Then it’s decided. The movie is very popular, and if we don’t reserve seats soon, we’ll run out.」

「I don’t have anything scheduled, so I’m fine.」

「Then we’ll set up a meeting time according to when we get the movie reservation.」

「Right, send me a message when you have a time set.」

「Yeah! I understand!」

Uehara replied with a big smile on her face. I was so glad I didn’t turn her down today when I saw how happy she was.

While we were having this exchange, I suddenly felt her eyes on me, and when I looked at Takai over Uehara-san from the counter, I saw her staring at us. My gaze seemed to be hidden in Uehara-san’s shadow and not visible to Takai, who seemed unusually concerned about others for her.

Yes—! Uehara-san turned around and ran toward Takai.

「Hey, hey, Takai-san. Have you heard of the Demon Avenger? It’s all the rage right now.」

「I at least know the title. I’ve never seen it, but was it?」

「I’m going to see a movie next time. I’m really looking forward to it!」

「I see, have fun.」

Their conversation was more established than before.

Uehara-san said she has not made progress, but the conversations that were one word have increased to two or three words. This would be a great step forward.

I wonder what Uehara-san, who seems to enjoy talking with Takai, would think if she knew that Takai and I were sex friends? Would she be sad……?

I put it away in the back of my mind that it was meaningless to think about such a thing.

◇ ◇ ◇

On Sunday, the day of my appointment with Uehara-san, I was hurriedly getting ready in my room.

—Oh no! I don’t have any clothes to wear.

I am not a fashion-conscious person, and I don’t have any clothes that go elsewhere.

Thinking about it, it was the first time I had been on a private date alone with a girl. I had never been involved in such things before, so I was completely unprepared.

Takai and I just go to her house to have sex. We have never gone out alone together.

—Well, I don’t have anything I don’t have, so I’ll just dress the same as I usually do.

I wore my usual jeans, a long Tee, and a hoodie on top.

Ye〜ah, it’s plain, if I do say so myself. I looked in the mirror and realized once again that I am still a negative person.

—Oops, I’m late for the meeting.

I decided to give up and left the room and headed for the front door.

「Onii-chan! Where are you going?」

I was putting on my sneakers at the entrance when Natsuki approached me.

「I’m going to go see a movie.」

「Eh? But I didn’t ask you that?」

「Did I need to bother telling Natsuki I was going out?」

「Because it’s the first time my Onii-cham has gone on vacation, and I’m curious.」

No… She don’t think this is indeed the first time. Does Natsuki think I am a recluse?

「I’m just going to go see a movie.」

「So who are you going to see the show with?」

If I tell you, you’re going to say you’re following me……

「Maybe I’ll go see it alone, you know?」

「The fact that you doesn’t say it clearly is suspicious……. Maybe you’re with that …… boob star!?」

In Natsuki’s mind, Uehara-san seems to be recognized as a boob star.

「Don’t say boob star. It’s Uehara-san.」

Ah, oh no… I gave the other person away myself.

「Oh, I knew it! Natsuki’s going with you!」

As expected, Natsuki says she will go with me.

「I only have two seats reserved, so Natsuki won’t be able to see the show even if she comes.」

「Ah— Unfair…」

If I leave Natsuki to her own devices, I will be late at this rate.

「Okay, okay, I’ll take you somewhere next time, just be patient.」

「Muu… I’ll be patient.」

She was a child, not unlike a junior high school student.

「I’m gonna be late, and so I’ll be going now.」

With that, I left my sister behind and hurried to the station.
