We made our way through the long line and finally it was our turn.
　On the road, I felt tired before we even got on the train because I kept getting jealous looks from Amanashi and the kids, as if I was too foreign to them.

　However, I pretended to be calm because I couldn't afford to offend Amana and the others, and fortunately, they didn't notice me.

''How many people are there?''
Six, please.
Yes, I guess that's six people...
"...what?

　When I answered the attendant's question, he treated me like family, as it should be, and so he and Amanashi raised their voices together.
　No, no, no, the three of us except for Amana-chan are friends, it would be rude to call me Amanashi's husband or something.......
　But if I try to make a joke here, it might look suspicious, so I keep my mouth shut for now──.　

"Onie-san, we don't have any family members.
What?

　Hasumi!

This Kylee is Amana's mother!
Hmm?

　Chiuri-chan too!
　Why are you so proud of yourself for talking like that....　

You're a friend of Amana's.
Yes?

　Even Amana-chan!
　It's good that we're all honest, but I wish I could have kept my mouth shut now if I could!

But it'll be so much fun when we're all under the age of...
..........
Hi!

　Kana-chan's words completely set the attendant's eyes on the criminal.
　I understand that you don't mean any harm, but........how could you be cornered at such a speed that makes me suspect a conspiracy?
　What did I do?

　The joyful mood has been thrown down to the bottom in the blink of an eye, and frankly, I just want to cry....
　If you still have time to cry, you should do something about it, and the moment you were about to do so, Amari suddenly hugged your left arm and said...

''And I'm planning to do that in the future!　Anyway, he's not the kind of person to think about such an empty hole in the ground!　Right?　Wa-san!
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "
Ta-tenashi!

　She came with a shocking statement that blew away the soft feeling on her left arm.
　Perhaps because of the boldness of her words even though her face is red, not only Amana-chan and the attendants, but also the other people lined up behind her seem to have been shocked.

　But I'm the one who's most surprised.
　That's right, he practically proposed to a beautiful woman like Amanashi!

　But I know what I'm getting at.
　This is her own way of trying to protect me, and she's lying on the spur of the moment.
　I know that, but I still can't help but be upset.

　After all, you just casually called me by my name, right?
　It made me understand why Mao was so happy to see him, it made me understand why he was so happy.

　This is inevitably going to make me giggle........

''That's right, that's what it was~.......in front of your child, I'm sorry.......''
No, no...

　The attendant blushes and apologizes, but the person in question, Amanashi, seems to have belatedly realized how outrageous he said it, and his face is even redder than before.
　It's already so red that I could have mistaken it for an apple.
　I'm probably just as red as I am.
　Because my face is getting hot for reasons other than the sunshine.

　Then I managed to get on a special rubber boat while dodging the reminder to "explode the rear" from the people around me and the pursuit from Amana and the others.
　The boat was circular in shape, and we were seated facing each other in the center of the boat.
　It's a bit small, but there are four elementary school students in it, so the space is free.

　Amanashi is sitting on the left, but it's very awkward, partly because of the exchange we had earlier.
　She's not making eye contact with me at all.

'Onii-san, is Shorai going to be a father to you?
Sh!　That's up to you two adults to decide, and all we can do is look after you!
Kana, your head is still pounding from that story you just told me...
I'm so glad you and Mom are such good friends.

　And I can hear the really silly conversations of Amana-chan and the others, regardless of how I feel.
　No, only Amana-chan, who sits on my right hand side, is a pure thought.
　Even if we don't meet face to face, Amana's ears are red, so it seems she can hear them as well.

''Then please hold on tight!
" " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

　In the meantime, the rubber boat was finally sliding down the slider.
　Because we were following the flow of the water, the speed of the boat quickly increased.
　The strong G's we felt as we rounded the curve to the right and left made us feel like we were being thrown out of the boat without the handles.



　The five of them are screaming too loudly.
　I'm too busy listening to their voices, so I don't know what kind of expressions Amari and the others have on their faces.

　However, I can only tell that their hands are being held on either side.
　I've decided that the only thing I can do now is to grip it back in the same way without letting go of it, so I continued to grab it.

　─ ─ Zappaaaaaaaaaaan!

Wah, pfft!

　As we slid down the slider, a splash of water suddenly splashed in our faces.
　The momentum of the rubber boat had stopped, and it seemed that we had reached the finish line.
　It may have been long or short... either way, I let out a breath of relief at the fact that I made it to the finish line safely.

'Peh, peh!　The water is in my mouth!
Haha, my head is spinning... but it was fun...
Oh, my God, it's scary!

　Hasumichi-chan and Nana-chan seemed to be fine, but Chiuri-chan was completely whimpering.
　I'll buy her something to drink later.

　For now, I tried to wipe the water on my face, but I couldn't lift my arm.
　Come to think of it, I remember that he was holding my hand.

　But I'm pretty sure the one next to me is.....

Kehot, Tenna. Are you okay?
Yeah, you're not a problem. What about you?
I'll be fine too.

　That's right, it was Amari and Amana.
　When I managed to open my eyes, I just met my eyes with Amari.

''Ah........''

　It's hard to tell because it's blurry, but I hear a thin breath.
　It looks like she tried to pull her hand away as soon as she could, but she couldn't move because I was holding her hand firmly.

"Bad...
I mean...　I apologize for my misleading remarks earlier, even if it was to defend Hayakawa-san!
What?

　Before I let go of my hand, Tenashi apologized to me for doing so.
　I was dumbfounded for a moment, but I instantly realized that it was now or never.......

''Um, I'm the one who's sorry.''
Oh no...
But it was nice to hear you say that, even if you were lying.
I...

　I told her that.

　.........Hey, why are you thanking me, you shouldn't add something unnecessary when you were just apologizing, right?
　While I'm dumbfounded by my own words that came out so quickly, I admire Amari's slightly soft smile.

　And so, although I've become aware of the other party in a different way than I was a moment ago, I tried to pull the rubber boat to the side of the pool so that the children wouldn't fall in for a moment.......







'Ick yaaaaahhhhhh!　It's not a lovey-dovey story!
"....

　I turned my head in surprise at the somewhat mousy voice.

　And it didn't take me more than a few moments to regret looking at her.

　She's tall enough for me to look up at her 177cm height, she wears a swimsuit with boomerang pants as if to show off her muscularity, and she wears a lot of IKO-like makeup and hair.

　People call her "Oneee" as if she doesn't give a d*mn about the eyes around her.

　We've come across such a monster.
