Unexpected

 

I looked over to see who was calling out to me. There were two guys coming back from club activities; one of them being Tagami-kun. I guess the other was his friend?

“Hello, Tagami-kun.”

“H-Hello, Yuuyami-san.”

Nervous as always, Tagami-kun tried to avoid my eyes.
We’re friends, so you don’t have to be so nervous, okay?

“Tagami! So you finally became friends with Yuuyami-san!”

Tagami-kun’s friend(?) congratulated him in a whisper.

“Not really; a lot happened…”

Wait, I can still hear your whispers.
Well, it’s not my fault for eavesdropping then.
Also, who are you!

“Who are you?”

“I’m Hashiba Takamitsu!”

Who’s that!
Ah, I can’t say that. It’d be copying my brother.
Well, we are the same person, so I guess it’s forgivable.

Now that Tagami-kun’s friend said his full name, I remembered that I still don’t know Tagami-kun’s first name!
How could I not, friends should know each other’s first names!

“So, are you guys going back from your club?”

“Yeah.”

“Then are you going for food?”

“Nope, Tagami wants some new kicks.”

Kicks?
…Oh, sports shoes.
I thought he wanted to learn martial arts for a second there.

“So it’s like that. We’re here to get new shoes; there’s a huge sports store nearby.”

This place really has everything.
I could live happily here!

“Oh, nice. Good luck on your next game. Can I go watch sometime?”

“R-Really! Please come!”

Tagami-kun’s eyes sparkled. He looked very excited.

“What the…please come?”

The voice came from my brother, coming back from the bathroom. A dark aura could be felt around his body, but a huge smile was on his face.
Somewhere, there was a demon lord smiling with my brother.

“Huh? Huh!?”

Tagami-kin was seriously confused.
Hashiba-kun was also scared of my brother’s face.

“Tagami-kun, this is my brother.”

Tagami-kun! He’s normally not like this!
What happened in the toilet?
Tagami-kun meeting my brother in his kind of mood is just plain bad luck.

“Hi. So, what do you guys have to do with my sister?”

Well. Tagami-kun is my friend, but Hashiba-kun…
I just met him…
I’m not the type to believe that a friend of a friend is also a friend.
Well, who really cares.

“They’re my friends from school, Nii-san.”

“Ohh, is that so…is that so…”

I don’t know what he’s thinking right now, but this feels worse than mornings!

“Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Tagami!”

“I’m Hashiba!”

“…I’m Naru’s brother, Riku. Hi.”

“I-I think we should be going!”

“L-Later.”

The two left in a rush.
Hmm~ I wanted to talk to them a bit more.

“Naru, let’s go home.”

“Eh? We aren’t going to look for clothes?”

But he looked so excited to shop…

“This is enough for today, I think. …They won’t meet again if we leave…”

My brother answered me with a smile.
I couldn’t really hear the second half though.
But if he says so…

“If you’re okay with it, I’m okay with going too.”

“Let’s go.”

We went home without any incidents, and I spent my break doing nothing in particular.
