Too Many Losing Heroines! - Volume 2 - Chapter SS1

Animate Special – I Feel Like XX-San Is a Little Bit-

After the strategy meeting in my room, Asagumo-san left after bowing to us. I closed the door after bidding farewell to her. The investigation of whether Yakishio and Ayano are cheating, …brilliant. Now I’m involved in something pretty serious.

“Nukumizu-kun. Even though Asagumo-san is adorable, don’t you think she’s a bit strange?”

“Hmm? Well, I guess so.”

Yanami doesn’t care about the solemn atmosphere at all. She hummed a song as she returned to my room.

“What? Yanami-san, aren’t you supposed to go back?”

“Hmm. Mom said she would drive me back after getting off work. I can chill here for the afternoon.”

I see. Even so, isn’t this a bit awkward? Yes, we’re talking about Yanami here, but this is still a girl hanging out alone in a guy’s room. You normally won’t see such a scene until Volume 4 in a light novel’s perspective, right?

Hmm, …it’s just Yanami, anyway. Whatever.

I was about to go back to my room. Then, Kaju grabbed my wrist with her petite hand.

“…Onii-sama, the friend who just visited our house for the first time is Asagumo-senpai, right? What’s the relationship between onii-sama and this girl, who has a boyfriend?”

Even if you’re asking your brother about our relationship, I can only give you answers like, “It’s a relationship where we have no relationship.”

“How should I put it? I know that girl’s boyfriend. She’s just here to talk about him today.”

Yep, I’m not lying. Kaju looks relieved. She seems to have accepted the answer.

“I see! Sorry, Kaju is worrying too much. Right, right, tonight’s dinner is onii-sama’s favorite. It’s stuffed meat with green peppers!”

Oh, stuffed meat. …I thought about the delicious dinner. Then, a slightly fluffier figure approached Kaju from behind suddenly.

“It’s Imouto-chan!”

“Hiya!?”

Yanami suddenly hugged Kaju and started stroking her face cheerfully.

“Wow, your face looks really tiny upon a closer look! Your skin is so smooth! So cute! Are we having stuffed meat with green peppers tonight? Is there anything else?”

“Eh? Huh? There are also kelp salad and cold green bean soup-“

“Hiya, it’s because I’m the only child in my family. I’ve always wanted an Imouto-chan like this. I guess I can understand why Nukumizu-kun has inappropriate thoughts about Imouto-chan.”

“Huh!? Is that true, onii-sama!”

Kaju raised her head and looked at me with a bright smile. Wait, why is she so excited?

“No, I’m not. Please don’t say such things, Yanami-san.”

“But Imouto-chan is very cute. Right, right, can you call me onee-chan? Let’s try it once!”

“Uh, well, Yanami-senpai…”

“Call me o-nee-chan.”

“Ah, …fine. Yanami…nee-chan.”

“Hiya, so cute!”

Yanami’s face is sticking onto Kaju. My little sister’s eyes went dark. Of course, I understand how she feels.

“Calm down, Yanami-san. Didn’t you see her in the room? Why are you so enthusiastic right now?”

“You don’t get it. We were having a serious discussion, right? That’s why I was trying to stern.”

I see. Yanami was in serious mode until then. Hiya, I didn’t notice it at all…

“Sigh, I can finally catch a break. Right, Imouto-chan, I can help you to prepare dinner! Onee-chan is good at cooking, you know! How much meat and green peppers do we need? How many meals are we having? Can we finish them?”

“Why do you care about my family’s dinner so much…?”

She keeps patting Kaju’s head. Kaju shot me some meaningful gazes.

“Onii-sama, I think Yanami-senpai is a bit…”

“…See?”

“It’s hard to disagree.”

Kaju and I glanced at each other. We nodded at the same time.

“What, what? What are you two whispering about? Is it a secret?”

Kaju and I spoke at the same time.

“Yes, it’s a secret.”
