　And after school on the day I became a fake lover with Ike Touka.

　I have no plans from now on, so I thought I'd go home quickly,

"Yuuji, are you free after this?"

　Suddenly, I was called by Ike.

"Oh, of course, I'm free. Do you need me to help the Student Council again?"

"No, it's the other way around. The student council's work was done yesterday, so today I'm thinking to treat you somewhere, as promised."

"Seriously? Then, let me spoil your words."

"It's decided then"

　Ike grinned.
　Then Ike and I got ready to go home and tried to get up from our seats.

"Ah, Ike-kun! Your sister-chan is coming!"

　Ike was called out to a girl student who was near the doorway in front of the classroom.
　There was certainly Ike’s younger sister, Touka.

"Mu, Touka... I'm sorry, Yuuji. Please wait a moment."

"Oh, don't worry"

　Ike quickly heads near Touka.
　After school, all the people who remained in the classroom, their eyes were caught by brother and sister.

　Ike Haruma, the perfect protagonist that everyone knows.
　And Ike Touka, who has a gorgeous appearance, has a presence that is comparable to her brother.
　If they are together, it can't be helped to stand out.

　I unconsciously put them in sight.
　And I also listen to the conversation.

"What happened Touka. Did you have something to do?"

"No, I have something to do with ... Ah, there is Yuuji-senpai! Let's go home together ♡"

　...... My name suddenly came out.
　Touka was waving at me with a slightly mean smile.

　All the classmates around me turned to me all at once.
　I was gazed to a lot of eyes and look suspicious.
　Then, all the classmates around me turned away from me all at once.

　...... What happens with these guys, did they have a meeting?

　Though I was thinking about that, I couldn't help because I was called.
　I went to the two of them.

　As expected, Ike was surprised that his sister and I suddenly became intimate with each other.

"Good work, Yuuji-senpai! Let's go home together?"

　Touka said to me again without giving any explanation to the surprised Ike.

"Ah, my bad. Today I was talking to Ike about where to go on my way home."

　I answered, and Touka had an overtly moody look.

"Does senpai prioritize my brother, who is just a friend, over me, your girlfriend?"

　The classmates who responded to her words looked at me all at once.
　And I was surprised at the line of sight, and I had a scary expression on my face.
　Then, all the classmates who saw my expression turned away from me.

　It's called "Tendon" in comedy terms. (TN: repeating the same gag or silly line)
　Maybe my classmates are planning to make me laugh.

"Eh ... are you dating?"

　Ike asks us, without being able to hide the astonishment in the stone.
　Touka smiles with a satisfying smile when she sees the upset Ike.

"Yes, I and Yuuji-senpai are dating, so don't bother us?"

　Touka announced to Ike as if she had won.

　I see, "To the beloved Onii-chan, she appeals that she has a boyfriend to make him jealous. The real one that I like is Onii-chan, so don't get me wrong!” she has executed the operation.

　To be honest, I was willing to take a detour with Ike, and I didn't feel like being swayed by Touka, so I thought I would decline her.
　Seeing the upset Ike, I think again.

　Perhaps, as a shock therapy, Ike may notice Touka's feelings as it is.
　If that happens, I thought it might be a chance to make them close.

"... My bad, Ike. I'll explain a lot next time, so can I cancel today?"

　When I asked that, Ike had a surprised expression,

"A, ah. I'm sorry, my sister's selfishness."

"Don`t worry"

"Yes yes, Yuuji-senpai and I are lovers, so it's none of your business!"

　Perhaps she was in good shape, Touka said happily to Ike.

"See you tomorrow"

"We will go first ~"

　When I and Touka said to Ike,

"Oh, oh"

　Was confused and replied.

☆

"Ah, it was fun!"

　On the way home.
　Touka said that with a big smile on her face.

"What was interesting?"

"That damn brother’s stupid look!"

　Touka laughs happily with a grin.

"Is that so, I'm a little tired."

"We got a lot of attention, the reaction of the people in Yuuji-senpai class is so interesting, when I think back, I feel like laughing."

　I think she's talking about that ‘tendon’.
　If I were in Touka's position, I would definitely laugh.

"By the way, senpai? For my sake, you have to appeal as my lover to avoid the men, so can you make an after-school schedule without permission?"

　Touka, who arbitrarily had planned after school without my permission, said without feeling guilty.
　I'm going to be a little mean and mutter.

"Is that so……"

"? What is that? Do you understand it properly?"

"I understand. Touka is the type that binds her lover."

　In my words, Touka raised her eyebrows as if to appeal her dissatisfaction.

"You don't understand~! It is not like that, so don't get me wrong!"

　I sarcasmly laugh at Touka who gets angry.

"……Just kidding"

"To make fun of me, you are a cheeky senior..."

　Touka, who seems to be dissatisfied, quickly recovers.

"Yes. We will have lunch together tomorrow, so please keep that in mind."

"I don't mind, but is Touka fine? You can't have to eat with the classmates as soon as you enter school."

"I am fine. We have to appeal that we are dating for a while, and it's easier to be with Yuuji-senpai, who can be with me than to be with the people in my class."

　I couldn't react to that word.

"...? What happened, suddenly became silent?"

　A glimpse of Touka looking at me.

"No, nothing .... We will have lunch together tomorrow, I understand."

"? ... If you understand it then it’s okay."

　Touka said with a mysterious expression, whether she was still wondering.


　However, even if I explain my feelings at this time, I'm sure Touka will not understand.

　She said that it's easier to stay with me than with someone else.
　I was happy because it was my first time.

　As expected, I was too embarrassed to say it.
