Part 5

    The physical education class was volleyball that day. Under the winter sky, everyone was shaking and hitting the white ball against each other, but of course, no one took it seriously, and the main focus was on chatting off the court.

    "Sayuri-nee lives next door to my parents and we've been together since preschool."

    As we took a break, I and Hikawa listened to Tsurayuki's personal story.

    "She's the one who was there for me when I was a kid, when my parents and my brothers didn't deal with me."

    Tsurayuki’s tone of voice was very gentle as he talked about Sayuri-san. It was enough for me to understand how he felt about her.

    "I've been around her since before I can remember, so I thought she was my real sister. Then, when I was in elementary school, I was told that I wasn't related to her. That was a surprise."

    "Whoa, that kind of Bishoujo Game-like story is in reality, I'll never forgive you!"

    I shouted with passion.

    "Nothing happened, and nothing is happening now."

    Tsurayuki replied in a bored tone.

    It doesn't look like they are trying to make up for anything, and I guess they really don't have a relationship. At least, not physically.

    "But... she is your fiancée, right?"

    "My parents made the decision on their own, but yeah. That sounds stupid."

    Two famous families in Kawagoe, Tsurayuki's hometown, the Rokuonji family and the Jishouji family.

    In a common story, a family feud like Romeo and Juliet occurs here, and two people who love each other are separated by family reasons… that's the way it's going, but.

    The two families have been on good terms for a long time, so the story went on to get engaged.

    "I don't hate her, but I don't like her either in particular, and if I acted like that, it would be bad for Sayuri-nee, right? That's why I'm running away."

    Tsurayuki sighed and scratched his head.

    "But I like Sayuri-nee as a human being, and I don't want to hurt her by blatantly avoiding her. So I'm really wondering what to do."

    From the outside, I can't help but think how lucky you are to have such a cute and sweet sister as a fiancée.

    Well, I guess he has a lot to worry about in his own way. Especially when it comes to his parents' house.

    "No, but if I had such an older sister, I would go spoiled without thinking about anything for the time being!"

    Hikawa patted Tsurayuki on the back, looking truly envious.

    "You, thinking like a stranger ―― "

    The game is starting and heading towards Tsurayuki,

    "Oi, dangerous..."

    The ball flew from the court in the middle of the game with a voice and a lot of momentum.

    "Guha!"

    The ball hit him in the face. The ball hit Tsurayuki in the face with a crushing sound.

    "O-Oi, Tsurayuki, are you okay!"

    Next to the ball rolling, Tsurayuki flipped over in a big heap.

    He let out a big sigh as his eyes swam in the air,

    "I'm really messed up..."

    He mumbled to himself.
