When I Became a Girl, an Unexpected Love Quarrel Occurred!

Trouble Dealing with an Older Sister

In the end, I couldn’t make it to the train that Alice and the others got on, and had to catch up with them one train behind.

I wondered if Alice would be okay.

When I rode the bullet train during the Bon Festival, I was approached several times by college-aged men.

If you’re a high school student, they might be too self-conscious to talk to Alice, but if they’re a college student, they might talk to you.

And even more so when it’s summer vacation and they’re in the mood for a good time.

I still feel safe when Takanashi-san and Kiniwa-san are with me, but it’s Iris-san who’s with me now.

(TN: The RAW is Yurizono, but I think the correct one should be Iris rather than Yurizono.)

“Are you worried?”

I was startled by the voice I heard.

I looked at Iris-san, who was standing across from me, looking up at me.

“I’ve never seen you so restless before.”

For the first time since she told me, I wondered if I was getting restless.

I’ve never been away from Alice so much as when I think about it.

I’ve been with Alice most of my life, both when I was a man and after I became a woman.

“I like Amane-san, who puts Alice-san first.”

She said this with an upward glance and gently took my hand in hers.

I felt the cool, thin, and soft touch of Iris-san’s fingers.

“Hey, look, look! There’s Amane-san!”

“What? No way! It’s true! It’s Amane-san!”

“Is that Yurizono-san with her? What? I don’t remember Yurizono-san being so mature.”

When I turned my gaze to the voice I heard, I saw several girls looking at me. When their eyes met mine, their cheeks turned red, they cackled and waved their hands at me.

I wondered if they were from the same school. Maybe they are.

I smiled and waved back modestly, and the girls seemed happy and excited.

It’s a train, so I don’t want to make too much noise, but the girls seem to be paying attention.

“eh?”

One of the girls shouted, looking at her phone.

“When I told Kyoko that Amane and Yurizono-san were on the same train, she replied that there were Alice and Yurizono-san on this train. There’s Yurizono-san on this train, but there’s also Yurizono-san on that one? Ehhh? What do you mean?”

The girl muttered, her eyes black and white.

The girl’s acquaintance was on the train one train ahead of us, and if we told her that we were there, it would mean that there were Alice and Yurizono-san near her acquaintance.

Well, this is my hometown, and there are students from our school scattered all over the place. And Alice and Yurizono-san-san are the two most beautiful girls at our school. Most of the students at our school would know them.

In other words, if something were to happen to them, there’s a chance that students from our school would be watching.

That makes me feel a little safer.

“Amane-san, Amane-san.”

Iris-san called me.

“They seem to think I’m Arisu-chan, don’t they?”

Iris-san, who leaned in close to me while holding my hand, put her lips to my ear and whispered, and then giggled.

The sweet, mature smell that sniffed my nose and the feeling of Iris-san’s touch since she was huddled close to me.

“Kyaa!”

The train jolted and Iris-san let out a small scream as she lost her balance.

I was standing by the wall, so I pressed my back against the wall to keep my balance and hugged Iris-san.

Her breasts pressed against my chest.

“Are you okay?”

I asked her, feeling nervous.

“T-Thank you.”

She hugged me with one hand and squeezed my hand tightly, and thanked me apologetically.

The old Iris-san would have apologized.

She would have apologized, “I’m sorry.”

What came out in the spur-of-the-moment situation was not an apology, but a thank you.

I felt that Iris-san had changed.

And I thought that people can change even in a short time.

If that’s the case, maybe I can change too.

“Only the area around those two people seems to sparkle and shine…”

“I don’t remember Yurizono-san being that beautiful. I feel like she was more silly…?”

“Kyoko also said that Yurizono-san is by her side, maybe Yurizono-san-san is going to split…?”

Splitting up…

Well, well, I guess Yurizono-san would split.

I mean, no matter what paranormal phenomenon happens, it’s Yurizono-san, so I feel like it’s all right.

Leaving that aside for the moment, Iris-san and I are embracing each other completely.

“Can you stand up?”

I felt embarrassed and asked Iris-san, who was hugging me.

“I usually wear pumps with low heels, but today I wanted to try something taller, so I wore something with a higher heel. But it takes some getting used to…”

As she hugged me, Iris-san smiled shyly as she spoke.

When I heard her say that, I lowered my gaze and saw that Iris-san was wearing white shoes with high heels.

Ah, so that’s why I’m feeling strangely mopey today.

Convinced, I looked at Iris-san, who was wearing a white dress and white shoes, and thought that she looked like a white lily.

“It looks good on you.”

When I said this to Iris-san, her face turned red.

“T-Thank you…”

Iris-san said shyly and rested her head on my shoulder.

“I wanted to get a compliment from Amane-onee-chan, so I dressed up…”

Then she whispered in a sweet voice and kissed me on the cheek.

Wait, wait, wait. We’re on a train here.

“Did you see……?”

“I saw it……”

“Yes, just now, a kiss, a kiss…”

The girls looking at me are muttering as their faces turn red like they’re on fire.

The other passengers were blushing and glancing at me.

Iris-san, hey Iris-san. You’re totally being watched.

◆

I got off the train and let out a sigh of relief.

My face was hot.

After all, I was hugging Iris-san until I got off the train.

And the passengers were watching us the whole time.

“I think Arisu-chan is headed to the park.”

Iris-san, who was still holding hands with me, raised her voice with a crisp expression as she checked her notebook with one hand.

At first, we were holding hands normally, but before I knew it, we were firmly linked together, fingers crossed.

This is called “lover’s touch”, I believe.

(TN: Yes I know, there’s a name for it. But I forgot…)

To be honest, I’m really embarrassed.

I think I’d hurt Iris-san if I asked her to stop.

Well, it’s just embarrassing, but I don’t mind.

“Then let’s go!”

After tucking her notebook into her pochette with one hand, Iris-san raised her voice and started walking away from me.

“Ah!”

But she fell.

I hold Iris-san like that with one hand.

It was easy to hold on to her because we were holding hands. And it was even easier because I knew she was going to fall.

Anyway――.

“Is your leg okay? Does it hurt?”

I’m afraid she’s getting a sore shoe.

“I’m fine!”

Iris-san’s expression tightened and she raised her voice.

I wonder if it’s true?

Are you sure?

◆

After passing through the station’s ticket gate, I came out onto the main street where many people were passing by.

I walked along the sidewalk, still holding hands with Iris-san.

The people we pass are all glancing at us.

It’s embarrassing, but we’re not doing anything wrong.

That’s what I had to tell myself.

We arrived at the park, holding Iris-san in our arms as she fell periodically.

The park, facing the main street and the downtown area, was spacious and beautiful.

As we entered the park, the hustle and bustle that we had been hearing became distant, and it seemed as if the world had changed.

There was a fountain in the center of the park, surrounded by a grassy area and a cobblestone pathway that divided the grassy area into fan-shaped sections.

It was summer vacation, but perhaps because it was a weekday, mothers with their children and young people were prominent.

“Waaaaa!”

A silver-haired idiot was running along the parkway.

She looks like a beautiful girl, but the way she runs with her hands raised and mouth open looks really stupid.

“Wait, wait! I told you it’s dangerous to run!”

A cute blonde girl chases after the idiot, raising her voice.

Yes, this one is sane.

“Fufu, Arisu-chan, looks like she’s having fun.”

Iris-san, who was watching the two runnings, narrowed her eyes happily and muttered.

Let’s leave the silly stuff aside for the moment, they certainly look like they’re having fun.

“What should we do? I think it would be better to keep an eye on them from a distance, in case we are discovered.”

I asked Iris-san.

The idiot seems to be preoccupied with playing, and Alice seems to be busy taking care of the idiot, so even if I approach her, she probably won’t notice.

“I’ve been wanting to tell you something for a while now, Amane-san.”

When Iris-san looked at me, she seemed to be annoyed for some reason.

What? Did I say something to make you angry?

“You promised to treat me as your sister when we are alone, right? And yet you call me Iris-san in a stranger’s manner and use polite language, which is not what you promised.”

When she was finished, she glared at me with anger in her eyes.

That’s what I promised.

But treating an older woman as your sister is…

But I made a promise.

“I-I understand, Iris-chan.”

I replied to Iris-san, feeling my face cramping up.

“Yes! Amane-onee-chan!”

Iris-san, who was laughing and shouting with real joy, squeezed my hand tightly and rested her head on my shoulder.

Uuuu, I wonder what time Alice and the others will have their date.

I hope they’ll be home before it gets too late. Otherwise, I might not be able to take care of myself.
