“Mirisu, I want a lap pillow.”

She hugs Alice who is sitting on the sofa, rubbing her cheeks and making sweet noises.

“I’m getting tired of slapping you…”

Alice mutters with her eyes as she is being treated by Yurizono-san, perhaps because she has given up.

The jittery Alice let out a sigh and popped Yurizono-san’s head.

You’ve come a long way, Alice.

Iris-san, who had been blankly watching the two of them with a bright red face, huffed, covered her mouth with both hands, and glanced at me.

What is it? Are you thinking that you want me to be your lap pillow too?

No, I don’t mind a lap pillow, but unfortunately――.

“Nine hundred and forty-seven times three hundred and thirty-six is about …… three hundred and twenty-two thousand five hundred and fifty-twoー”

Yanomiya-san, who is sitting on my lap, is shaking her body from side to side and making adorable noises.

It’s adorable, but the math is amazing.

The digits are so great that I can’t decide if they’re right or not, but they’re probably right.

(TN: Wrong.)

Anyway, Iris-san, please give up on my lap because it’s Yanomita-san position.

“This is an accident!”

Iris-san, who had been glancing at me, jumped on me with a bang.

“Hyuu!”

Iris-san face jumped on me, Yanomiya-san’s foot, which had been flapping, went into the counter with a swoop.

“Higghhh!”

She moaned and cowered, covering her face with her hands.

“I’m sorry, Iris-san! Are you okay?”

The one who was at fault was Iris-san, who suddenly jumped on me, and Yanomiya-san did nothing wrong, but she apologized to Iris-san.

“It’s okay. It was an accident. Please don’t worry about it…”

Covering her face with both hands, Iris-san replied in a nasal voice.

There was no way to defend herself.

“What are you doing?”

Takanashi-san, who had a dazed look in his eyes, sat down to intervene between me and Iris-san.

“Onee-chan, she looks so perfect, but she’s still onee-chan.”

While smacking Yurizono-san’s head, which was clinging to her thighs, Alice also muttered in disgust.

And Kiniwa-san, who is gushing with laughter.

So now I’ve finished dinner, cleaned up, and am relaxing in the living room.

No, I’m not sure if I’m relaxing.

“Can I have a moment?”

Takanashi-san, sitting next to me, raised her voice as she raised her right hand.

“There’s something I’d like to say to everyone.”

Then Takanashi-san stood up on the spot.

Everyone, including Yurizono-san, who was clinging to Alice’s thighs, focused on Takanashi-san.

“I’m sure you all already know this, but I want to say it clearly for myself.”

Looking around at everyone, Takanashi-san closed her eyes, inhaled, and opened her eyes.

Her black eyes showed a firm will. I couldn’t help but admire her eyes, which shone as deeply as jewels.

“I decided to become the student council president of my own will.”

The voice, not loud, but dignified and without hesitation, echoed in the living room.

“I failed once. Everyone tried to help me. I couldn’t see what was going on around me. Because of that, I wasted and hurt the feelings of many people.”

Takanashi-san clasped her hands as she spoke.

“I was inexperienced, and I’m still inexperienced. I can’t make my dream come true without the help of everyone.”

Then she bowed her head deeply.

“Yes, a dream. I want to be student body president again. And this time, I want to achieve something I can be proud of. I need everyone’s help. Please lend me your strength. Please run toward your dreams with me. I beg you.”

Takanashi-san raised her voice with her head bowed.

“I don’t know how serious you are, but anyone can just say that.”

Yurizono-san, who was lying down and resting her head on Alice’s thigh, raised her voice as if to provoke Takanashi-san.

Normally, I would be tempted to say that I don’t want to hear such a thing from someone with a joking attitude, but Takanashi-san silently looked up and stared at Yurizono-san.

She’s still lying down, but she stares straight into Takanashi-san eyes. And Iris-san is fuming, perhaps impatient to see her sister’s rude attitude.

“I’m serious. I’m going to be the student council president. And with everyone’s help, I’ll be the best student council president ever. I promise.”

Takanashi-san, who had been staring at Yurizono-san, said quietly.

“What are you going to do if you don’t become president? What are you going to do if you end up just causing trouble for everyone?”

Yurizono-san persisted.

“I’ll make it.”

Takanashi-san was short and clear in her words. There was not the slightest hint of agitation or hesitation on her face or in her words.

Yurizono-san, who had been staring straight at Takanashi-san, let out a sigh as her eyes narrowed.

“You don’t blink when you’re agitated. It’s boring.”

Murmuring this, Yurizono-san rubbed her cheek against Alice’s thigh like a cat spoiling its master and smiled.

Takanashi-san was unfazed by Yurizono-san agitation.

We all saw that.

Because of Yurizono-san’s agitation, she was able to let everyone know that she was serious.

I didn’t ask her to do it, but she took it upon herself to play the heel.

You’re clumsy, Yurizono-san.

“You’re pretty clumsy too, aren’t you?”

Alice giggled and patted Yurizono-san’s head.

It seems that Alice is aware of Yurizono-san’s true intentions.

As expected, my sister.

Yurizono-san, who dyed her cheeks slightly, turned over and buried her face in Alice’s belly.

“Alice is a good person, Rin.”

Yanomiya-san, who was sitting on my lap, whispered to me.

“Yeah, I know, Sora.”

Takanashi-san answered Yanomiya-san’s whisper.

Yurizono-san, who was burying her face in Alice’s stomach, turned red as if she heard their whispers.

“Fufufu.”

Kiniwa-san smiled happily at Yurizono-san’s embarrassment.

And then there was Iris-san, who was puzzled.

She thought that her sister’s rude attitude and behavior would make the situation more difficult, but it turned out to be all right, and she must be confused.

“Come here, Iris-chan.”

I felt kind of sorry for Iris-san and beckoned her to come over as I called out to her.

“Wau!”

With a purr and a big smile on her face, Iris-san got down on all fours and came up to me, barking like a dog.

“Iris… -chan?”

Takanashi-san reacted and looked at me with a scowl.

Oh my gosh, I just called her “-chan”.

“Iris-san is older than you, even though we are close. I don’t think it’s appropriate to call her by her name.”

Takanashi-san, who had her hands around my arms and her breasts pressed firmly against my chest, smiled and spoke to me.

“Y-Yes. I’m sorry.”

I was scared, but the feeling in my chest… 

“Iris-san, as the oldest, you’ll have to be firm, won’t you? That being said, please sit there.”

Takanashi-san hugged my arm and looked at Iris-san as she spoke.

Iris-san, who was on all fours and shivering, squirmed like a scolded dog as she sat there in a girl’s seat.

Oh, no. I want to spoil her when she squirms.

Iris-san, I’ll give you a lap pillow later, so don’t be too depressed.

“Now that we’ve seen Rin’s cool declaration of intent and Yurizono-san’s tsundere, let’s talk about the panel.”

Kiniwa-san clapped her hands and raised her voice.

“Oh, yes. I was wondering, what is the panel?”

Takanashi-san tilted her head and asked Kiniwa-san.

“I’ll explain it to you step by step.”

Kiniwa-san, holding up the index finger of her right hand, closed one eye and raised her voice.

“You remember that Yurizono-san brought the panel of Amane-chan and the others to school, right?”

“Ah, yeah, yeah. Amane in her nursery school costume was so cute.”

When she heard Kiniwa-san’s words, she nodded and muttered to herself. Then, with a huff, Takanashi-san dyed her cheeks, put her fist to her mouth, and coughed.

She seemed to be embarrassed because she plainly said that my cosplay was cute.

If Takanashi-san wants to see it, I don’t mind dressing up as a nursery school teacher.

“The student council president liked that panel so much that he decided to put it up in the school as a signpost for the cultural festival.”

“What? A panel of Amane?”

Hearing Kiniwa-san’s explanation, Takanashi-san leaned forward in astonishment.

“How many panels are you going to make?”

“Hmm? It hasn’t been decided yet, but I’m sure the school gate and the entrance will be fixed, and if I were to put them on the stair landings, there would be two stairways and three floors, so a total of six. Also, the schoolyard and gymnasium where the event will be held will probably have them, so at least ten in total. That’s just the minimum. I’m sure there will be more.”

Kiniwa-san answered Takanashi-san questions fluently and smoothly.

“That’s why they decided to make the panels, and Amane-chan was put in charge of it.”

Kiniwa-san’s explanation made Takanashi-san tilt her head curiously.

It’s really strange to make your panel and be in charge of it, isn’t it?

“The problem there was how to make the panels. Only Yurizono-san knew how to make them. But since she was going to be the chairman of the festival committee, she couldn’t be in charge of making the panels. That’s why they decided to stay here to learn how to make the panels from Yurizono-san.”

“I see.”

Takanashi nodded as she was satisfied with Kiniwa-san’s words.

Kiniwa-san, I appreciate your clear explanation, but who on earth did you hear that story from?

I didn’t tell her, and I don’t think Alice did either.

If that’s the case, it’s either Yurizono-san or the student council president.

If it was the student council president, it means that Kiniwa-san has been connected with the student council president for a long time.

While I was running around like an idiot, Kiniwa-san must have been quietly and steadily laying the groundwork under the water.

It’s dependable but scary.

“That being said, I’d like to learn how to make panels from Yurizono-san.”

She smiled and looked at Yurizono-san, who was lying on the floor with her face buried in Alice’s stomach.

Yurizono-san, who glanced at Kiniwa-san, buried her face again in Alice’s belly.

“I’m not in the mood today. I’ll do it tomorrow.”

With her face buried in Alice’s stomach, Yurizono-san made a giggling sound.

“What are you talking about?”

Perhaps annoyed by Yurizono-san’s unmotivated attitude, an angry Alice is hitting Yurizono-san’s head with a pop.

“That’s right! You said a lot of great things to me, so you should be motivated too!”

Takanashi-san, who had blood vessels rising in her temples, leaned forward, pointed at Yurizono-san, and shouted angrily.

Takanashi-san, you’re right.

After saying a lot of great things about running for student council president against Takanashi-san and what she would do if she didn’t get the job, she said she wasn’t in the mood… 

“I get it! You’re using the way you made the panel as blackmail to get Amane and Alice to stay at your house all the time, aren’t you!”

Yurizono-san shivered at Takanashi-san’s words.

That’s a good point.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this girl.

Alice was sighing in her eyes, perhaps because she was speechless.

“I don’t mind if you do.”

“What?”

“What?”

“What?”

Takanashi-san, Alice, and Yurizono-san were surprised by Kiniwa-san who raised her voice without any hesitation.

“A-Are you serious? You’re going to use Amane-san as your model! And the whole school is looking at the super high-quality panel I made! And if I make a low-quality panel now, I won’t be admired, I’ll be reviled! Are you okay with that?”

After being told that it was fine, Yurizono-san, who looked impatient, raised herself and shouted.

Oh, I see. I could read Kiniwa-san’s plan.

Kiniwa-san knew that Yurizono-san would be unhappy.

That’s what Kanau-kun was for, isn’t it?

“If possible, I’d like to have Yurizono-san teach me, but if she doesn’t want to, I’ll have the Ookwa Monster teach me.”

“W-What’s Ookwa Monster?”

Yurizono-san-san asked back to Kiniwa-san’s words.

I knew it.

“So, you’re saying that this Ookwa Monster is capable of making panels on the same level as mine?”

Kiniwa-san chuckled at Yurizono-san’s shouted question.

“Kuu-chan, the best friend of the Ookwa Monster, please explain.”

That’s what Kiniwa-san said to Yanomiya-san.

“The Ookwa Monster is amazing! He’s big and fast, strong and kind! He can make anything, and he’s a great dancer! He’s a great monster!”

Yanomiya-san’s eyes sparkled as she explained with gestures.

I don’t think you’ll understand that explanation, but it’s okay because she’s cute!

“Then, Amane-chan, who knows the Ookwa monster well, please comment.”

After Yanomiya-san, Kiniwa-san asked me to speak.

“I think the quality of Arisu-chan panel is high. But the Ookwa Monster is different. That guy is different. He has a different dimension.”

I replied with a frown.

“What?”

Yurizono-san shouted in astonishment when she heard my words.

“Alice, if you know the monster well, please leave a comment on him.”

The next time, Kiniwa-san asked Alice to talk.

“That’s Ookwa Monster, right? That idiot, right? He’s really stupid, isn’t he? If I let that idiot make a panel for onee-chan, I’m sure he’ll make something amazing. Because he’s an idiot.”

Alice muttered with a gaze.

Onii-chan has always been taken care of me in every way possible. Can’t you be a little more subtle about it?

“What? I can’t believe Mirisu would approve!”

Yurizono-san couldn’t hide her surprise at Alice’s insistence on making something amazing while calling her an idiot.

No wonder Yurizono-san was surprised.

Alice, the extreme siscon, admitted it in one way or another.

“As onee-chan said, it’s a different level. If he wanted to, he could make a life-size figure of onee-chan instead of a panel. And it would be just like the real thing.”

“Life-size? And looks just like the real thing!”

It was Takanashi-san who was the first to react to Alice’s words.

“J-Just like the real thing, I wonder if it has soft lips and skin! I wonder if she can move her hands and feet!”

Takanashi-san, who shouted with a bright red face, huffed, put her fist to her mouth, and coughed.

Do you want it by any chance? Even though the real one is right next to you?

If you want it, I want you to want the real thing.

Regardless, Yurizono-san was stunned speechless.

“I’m sure the Ookwa Monster will come up with an amazing panel for the festival. So, Yurizono-san. Why don’t we make something that surpasses the Ookwa Monster’s panel? I’m sure you can do it.”

With a gentle smile on her face, Kiniwa-san spoke as if she was talking to a child.

The stunned Yurizono-san heard Kiniwa-san’s words and clenched her fists tightly.

Her red eyes flickered, and a light began to shine in them.

“I don’t know if you’re a monster or a minister, but let’s do it!”

Yurizono-san shouted, raising her fist in the air.

Seeing her, Kiniwa-san smiled and made a peace.

She used Kanau-kun as a pawn to get Yurizono-san into the mood, and in addition to improving the quality of the panel, she would also get the panel that Kanau-kun had made, truly killing two birds with one stone.

“That sounds like fun!”

Yanomiya-san shouted happily.

“I don’t know what it is after all, but making the panels looks like fun!”

Following Yanomiya-san, Takanashi-san raised her voice.

“I think you should not compete with the Ookwa monster. It is likely to create something outrageous that is far beyond imagination…”

Unlike Yanomiya-san and Takanashi-san, Alice is not keen on playing the game.

Alice knew Kanau-kun well, I could understand why she wouldn’t want to compete.

“Mirisu! I’m going to win for sure! If I win, we’ll get married! That’s a promise!”

Alice’s mood of resignation seemed to have motivated Yurizono-san even more.

But how could she let not only Yurizono-san but even Kanau-kun roll in the palm of her hand?

Kiniwa-san, you really are a scary person.

“Can college students take high school exams?”

Iris-san, who had been silent until then, spoke up with a chuckle.

“I’m going to be everyone’s junior, and we’re going to enjoy next year’s school festival together.”

Iris-san speaks, staring into the distance.

The smile on her face was too painful to bear.

I’ll spoil you a lot later, Iris-san, so please attend the university properly.
