Chapter 08Â
My Stepsister Starts Her Attack
âBig brother, do you want to go out with me after school today?â
âGo out, huhâŚ? Come to think of it, we really havenât gone anywhere together recently.â
âYeah, thatâs why I thought, if youâre free, Iâd like to go out with you.â
âThat sounds fine⌠but is there somewhere in particular you want to go?â
âAs long as itâs with you, anywhere is fine! Just walking around the city or something.â
ââŚAlright then, letâs just decide based on how we feel at the time.â
âOkay!â
After that, Yumi and I continued chatting lightly as we finished our meal together. Then, after finishing the dayâs classes at school, it was finally after school.
Just as I was about to leave the classroom, Kaname spoke to me.
âIchihito, I was hoping we could hang out after school today. Do you have time?â
She asked with eyes full of expectation.
But since Iâd end up betraying that look, I answered apologetically.
âSorry, I already promised to go out with Yumi today.â
ââŚWith Yumi-chan? Just the two of you?â
âThatâs right.â
The moment I said that, Kanameâs eyes widened slightly before she looked down, her voice turning somewhat gloomy.
ââŚIf you go out just the two of you, wonât that just make Yumi-chan see you even more as the opposite sex? Maybe you shouldnâtâŚâ
âOn the contrary. I think by going out just the two of us, itâll help her clearly understand that weâre siblings.â
âButââŚugh, why am I even getting so desperate about this? Sorry for trying to hold you back.â
ââŚYeah.â
Kaname seemed a little strange, but since I had already made plans with Yumi, there was nothing I could do.
Iâll just make sure to spend more time playing with Kaname another day.
When I arrived at the school gate, our meeting spot, Yumi was already there in her uniform, waving energetically at me.
âBig brother! Over here, over here!â
Once we met up, we headed straight into the city.
But then Yumi suddenly said something outrageous.
âBig brother, can I link arms with you?â
âNo.â
âBig brother, can I kiss you?â
âNo.â
âBig broââ
âNo matter what it is, the answerâs no. Thatâs not something siblings should be doing.â
ââŚ.â
Although she didnât argue backâunusual for Yumiâshe only showed a small gesture of acknowledgment.
I wasnât sure why, but maybe she was beginning to change little by little.
While I was thinking that, we wandered the city until Yumi suggested we enter a shopping mall. Inside, she dragged me into a clothing store.
âBig brother! I want to try on this outfit!â
The clothes she held up were a top with cut-out shoulders and some simple pants.
âI see. Well then, letâs go to the fitting room.â
Together, we walked to the fitting room area.
There was no one else around, and the single fitting room was empty. Confirming that, I opened my mouth to sayâ
âAlright, Yumi, Iâll wait here in front of theââ
But before I could finish, Yumi smirked and pushed me into the fitting room. Then, she herself stepped in right after me.
Her expression was cheerful as ever, lips curved up playfully, while my own expression must have been the complete opposite.
Unable to process the sudden situation, I spoke in a flustered tone.
âY-YumiâŚ!? What are youââ
âIf you raise your voice, theyâll find out there are two people in here, you know?â
It was true. Luckily, no one had been around when we came in, so no one should have seen us. But if I made noise, there was a real chance weâd get caught. Stillâ
âThen why did you even do this in the first place?â
âInstead of asking that, shouldnât we do something more exciting, since itâs just the two of us in a fitting room?â
Her cheeks flushed red as she guided my hand to the buttons of her uniform.
âBig brother⌠itâs okay if you undress me, you know?â
