I Want You to Listen to Your Brother’s Opinion

A temporary table is set up on the grounds of the shrine.

It must have been set up by the people involved in the festival so that people could relax and eat the food they bought from the stalls.

I was able to get a table because I came early.

There were many families around, and several uniformed security guards, so we could relax in peace.

I asked the security guard just in case.

I gave him a cold juice and said, “Good job.”

My group is unusually high level except for me. I decided to bribe the security guard so that he would help me if something happened.

It was partly a bribe but also thought that it was hard work staying up so late for everyone.

When the security guard took my juice, he looked at me for a moment, but then he tightened his face and saluted me. Then he said

“Leave it to me!” He shouted at the top of his voice.

So I bought some candy apples and grilled squid, as requested by Alice and Yanomiya-san, and decided to eat them right away.

(TN: Ika-Poppo/Poppoyaki(?) (いかぽっぽ) is grilled squid right?)

Sitting on my lap, Yanomiya-san was holding a pair of disposable chopsticks while flapping her legs happily. On the table in front of her, there was a bowl of freshly grilled squid, and the appetizing smell of squid wafted around.

“Bon appétit!!”

After greeting politely with her hands together, Yanomiya-san picked up the bowl and started to eat the grilled squid.

“It’s good!”

Yanomiya-san, who had been munching, gulped and flapped her hands in a happy voice.

Haahh, cute.

I smiled at her adorableness and stroked her head.

While I stroked her head, Yanomiya-san ate her grilled squid with gusto.

“Onee-chan.”

Alice, who is sitting next to me and huddled close to me, offer me a bite of her candy apple.

I think she’s asking me to eat it.

I put my face to the candy apple and tried to take a bite, but the candy apple moved quickly and the part that Alice had taken a bite out of was pointed at me.

“Onee-chan don’t want to eat where Alice ate?”

Alice raises her voice with a miffed look on her face.

“It’s not like that.”

I smiled and took a small bite of the candy apple, biting the part that Alice had taken.

The crispy texture and sweetness of the candy and the crunchy texture and sourness of the apple spread in my mouth at the same time.

“It’s delicious.”

I said, and Alice, her cheeks dyed, smiled happily. Then she licked the part I bit off with her tongue.

I don’t think it’s a good idea to lick the part I bit off, but it’s Alice, so whatever.

“I bought a candy apple too, didn’t I? Me too!”

Takanashi-san sat across the table from me, raising her voice deliberately.

“I don’t know if I can finish it by myself! I’d really appreciate it if Amane could help me.”

Takanashi-san, who shouts in a deliberate voice, glances at me.

Next to Takanashi-san sat Kiniwa-san, who was holding a chocolate banana.

“If you can’t finish it by yourself, why don’t you ask Ena-chan to help you?”

Alice raises her voice with a dour attitude. When Takanashi-san heard those words, her eyes moistened with tears and she squirmed like a scolded puppy.

If Takanashi-san had dog ears on her head, they would be hanging down.

That’s how depressed she was.

“All right, but it’s special, okay? I’ll forgive you especially because you’re Rin-chan.”

At Alice’s words, a big smile popped up on Takanashi-san’s face.

Hey you two, are you not going to listen to my opinion?

“Now, ahhh.”

Suddenly a voice rang out, and I turned my gaze to see a black object in front of me.

It was a chocolate-covered banana, the so-called choco banana.

Since it was presented in front of me, I took a bite.

“Yayyy!”

Kiniwa-san, who shouted happily, took a bite of my chocolate banana and smiled as she squirmed.

Alice and Takanashi-san are staring at Kiniwa-san with fixed eyes.

“The chocolate banana that Amane-chan ate tastes like Amane-chan.”

Kiniwa-san, who had been mugging, cleared her throat with a cock and whispered in a sweet voice, letting out a huffy sigh.

“I-It taste like onee-chan?”

“I-It taste like Amane?”

They both slurped at the same time and whispered in a serious voice.

“It tasted so sweet, and yet so gentle.”

Kiniwa-san said this with a big smile on her face.

Kiniwa-san, I don’t think that’s my taste, I think that’s the taste of chocolate banana.

No way just taking a bite would transfer my taste.

Despite my thoughts, the two of them were nodding their heads with serious expressions.

Why are you guys so convinced?

“Now, ahhh…”

While the two of them are still convinced, Kiniwa-san offers me a chocolate banana.

I’m not going to play that hand anymore.

“Hey, hey, hey!”

“What, Ena! You’re the only one cheating!”

I’m not going to eat anymore, but two impatient people shoved Kiniwa-san.

Kiniwa-san smiles indignantly as the two of them poke fun at her.

And then――.

“… huh?”

I shouted out.

A suspicious figure wearing a Sentai mask and holding grilled corn appeared in a flash. Next to her stood another suspicious figure wearing a Sentai mask and holding a bowl of candy.

Both of their faces were hidden by the masks, but their long silver hair was visible.

“Arisu-chan, what happens if I soak the candy in water?”

“If it bothers you so much, I think you should try soaking it in water.”

The two of them were talking to each other through their masks, and Alice and Takanashi-san were staring at them. And then there’s Kiniwa-san, who bursts out laughing.

Both of you, thanks for making Kiniwa-san laugh.

They went to buy grilled corn and cotton candy, but when they didn’t come back, they were buying masks.

I was so distracted by the masks that I didn’t notice that they were holding hands.

I wondered if they had bought the masks to hide their embarrassment.

“That’s so cool!”

Yanomiya-san, who had been flailing her feet and gobbling up the grilled squid, shouted out, her eyes shining.

“Ahaha!”

“Ufufu…”

The two of them squealed happily as they were praised by Yanomiya-san.

It’s nice to get a compliment.

Then, I noticed that Yanomiya-san’s mouth was dirty.

It seemed that she had been so engrossed in eating the grilled squid that she had gotten the sauce all over her mouth.

“Don’t move a bit, Kuu-chan.”

I said as I took out a pocket tissue and wiped the area around Yanomiya-san’s mouth with it.

As I told her, Yanomiya-san closed her eyes and kept still.

It’s so cute.

“Thank you, Amane――”

When I finished wiping, she turned around and looked up at me, and tried to thank me. But her words were cut off in mid-sentence.

When I tilted my head to see what was wrong, I suddenly saw Yanomiya-san’s face approaching me.

And then――.

“Wha!?”

I couldn’t help but shudder as Yanomiya-san licked my lips.

(TN: Alabama~  ⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄ )

“You had a piece of candy apple on your lip.”

Then Yanomiya-san smiled and laughed.

“I-I see. Thank you, Kuu-chan…”

I managed to thank her with a smile, but I was nervous inside.

Because Yanomiya-san licked my lips with her tongue. That’s just like kissing each other lip to lip.

But, since it’s Yanomiya-san, I’m sure she’s not thinking anything of it.

With that thought, I looked up and couldn’t help but cringe.

I looked up and was surprised to see everyone, all of whom were completely red, staring at me.

The Yurizono sisters, who were wearing masks, shifted their masks and stared at me.

I-I’m scared…

“Amane, you want some grilled squid?”

I hurriedly lowered my gaze at the voice I heard and saw Yanomiya-san holding a bowl, looking up at me.

“Uh, yeah! I think I’ll take it!”

I couldn’t bear to have everyone staring at me, so I jumped at Yanomiya-san’s generosity.

“Amane has always been a great help to me, so I’m going to feed you!”

After saying that, Yanomiya-san, who had put the squid poppet between her disposable chopsticks, lifted it and brought it to my face.

“T-Thank you.”

I thanked her, opened my mouth, and tried to bite the grilled squid.

“Ah!”

But Yanomiya-san’s hand was shaking, and the squid poop hit the edge of my lips.

“S-Sorry!”

After apologizing, Yanomiya-san put the squid pop back into the bowl, and then――

“Wha!?”

She twisted around in my lap, stretched out with her hands on my shoulders, and licked my lips with her tongue.

“I’m sorry, I made a mess. But it’s okay if I lick them.”

Then, Yanomiya-san licked my lips even more.

I could feel her tongue on my lips.

I want to stop her, but I’m sure Yanomiya-san has no ill intentions at all, and I can’t stop her.

“It’s clean.”

Yanomiya-san, who had been licking her lips for a while, smiled and laughed at me.

“T-Thank you…”

My heart was pounding like it was about to burst, but I managed to thank her.

“Squid…”

I heard a faint voice.

“It was the Grilled Squid! If I had a grilled squid, I could fake an accident and lick Amane’s lips!”

After raising her voice, Takanashi-san stood up vigorously and ran like the wind.

“Oh dear, Rin-chan.”

Kiniwa-san said this with a hand over her mouth and a giggle, then her eyes widened and she stood up vigorously and ran after Takanashi.

“What? No, you can’t do that! I’m not going to let you get away with it!”

Alice shouted and ran after them, almost in tears.

When I was looking at the three of them, I felt a tap on my shoulder.

I turned around.

“Wha!?”

I saw Yurizono-san face right in front of me, almost touching me, and I immediately tried to back away. But she kissed me on the lips faster than that.

“If you want to kiss me, you can do it like this, in a dignified manner.”

Yurizono-san, her cheeks dyed, said and licked her lips flirtatiously.

Y-You…

It’s okay. No, it’s not! It’s not good! What kind of idiot is this kid!?

Oh, I was just being a dummy.

“I-Is that so? Do you mean I can do it if I want to?”

“Yes.”

Yurizono-san nodded without hesitation to Iris-san who muttered with a bright red face and shaking red eyes.

I mean, yes, you’re not! You can’t just ignore my will!

“If you do it by surprise, your chances of success increase, but I think Amane-san will be a little angry. But Amane-san usually forgives me, so it’s a small price to pay to get a kiss in exchange for getting a little angry.”

“Kuuuuuu”

I couldn’t help but grumble as Yurizono-san spoke so matter-of-factly.

This person is a convicted criminal.

“I-I can kiss in exchange for a little bit of anger from Amane-san. On the flip side, she’ll only be a little angry if you kiss her. What a wonderful story. As someone who would rather be scolded, it’s great to be able to kiss and be scolded a bit!”

Excited, Iris-san is muttering under her breath, huffing, and puffing. Yurizono-san nodded her head in agreement with Iris-san’s words.

It looks like Iris-san is on the verge of breaking down because of her stupidity.

The next time you kiss me unexpectedly, I’ll get angry, you know?

However, I’m glad that everyone was away. Yanomiya-san doesn’t seem to be particularly bothered by it.

Afterward, Alice, Takanashi-san, and Kiniwa-san bought some squid poppers and suggested that I eat some, but I never did.

I thought, “How could I fall for such a transparent trap?”

But Takanashi-san cried when I refused, so I had no choice but to eat a little bit of squid.

“Well, your mouth, your mouth area was dirty, so I, you know, I licked it clean…”

Takanashi-san, who had turned a fiery red, fidgeted and made a trembling noise.

In the end, Takanashi-san was unable to lick my lips, and covered her face with both hands, and sobbed alone.

“That’s why I feel safe with Rin-chan.”

“Right?”

Alice and Kiniwa-san look at the sobbing Takanashi-san with kind eyes and mutter.

It’s kind of like it’s my fault, but it’s not my fault, right?
