Oh, it's Kuroone-chan. What a surprise.
Huh?

　I was waiting for Aniki and the others who went to the waterslide to return, fiddling with my phone, when I was unexpectedly called out to them and turned my head in the direction I heard their voices.
　Then, there was Sakai-san, a colleague of Aniki's at work, who rescued Amana-chan who had gotten lost at the mall.

　I thought about the fact that he's as racy as ever, or that his timing might be a little bad, but I decided to say hello first.

Hello, Sakai-san. It's really a coincidence!
Yes, really. The bathing suit looks great on you........
Thank you. Sakai-san's looks good too!

　I can feel the envy in my eyes as they turn to my chest.
　It's not a good thing to have this kind of thing, because your shoulders are stiff and people look at you all the time, but it's obvious that you'll get some backlash if you say it, so I won't say anything.

　But it's not flattering or anything, Sakai-san looks good in her swimsuit.
　She is not too revealing because she is worried about her lack of breasts, but I envy her slender body because she looks good in many different outfits.
　Well, I guess it's a matter of one or the other.

　But I'm glad Aniki and the others are going to the waterslide now........
　I took on the role of baggage guard in the hope that he and Amari would make some progress, but this isn't very good.
　Sakai-san clearly likes Aniki, so even though Amana-chan and the others are with her, she can't let it be known that she's coming with Tenashi-san, can she?

'Kurone-chan, where is Kazu-kun now?'
Ew!

　Eh, wait, Sakai-san.
　Why are you asking me on the premise of having such an animator!

　I made a funny sound, but Sakai-san continued with a cheerful smile

Oh, I'm sorry to surprise you. Actually, I heard from Kazu-kun that he was going to be here today, so I had some time on my hands, and I felt bad about it, but I thought I'd be happy to entertain you.
'Oh, I see...'

　You're the big brother!
　Just because you don't realize how much Sakai-san is feeling, don't do anything to call a shura on yourself!

　That means there's a good chance he knows that Amana-chan and the others and Tenashi-san are together.
　Oh wait, isn't this unavoidable... No, there's no proof that Amari-san likes you, but there's no way Sakai-san won't feel anything about it.

　The moment my thoughts caught up to that point........

''Onee-chan!　I loved the waterslide!
It went down with a whimper, then a pop, and then a crash.
That was scary, but I had fun...
Oh, I'm going to swim, so you can all go next time.
''Thank you for looking at my luggage, Kuroone-san.
Wow....

　As if the timing was well-aimed, Amari-san and the others came back.
　Glancing sideways at Sakai-san's reaction, I could see that she was surprised by Amari-san's beauty, as expected.
　Even though she's so beautiful, she's married with a child, which may seem unfair to high school students like me, but to Sakai-san, who is the same age as me, it seems unfair.

''Ah!　Hey, lady!　It's been a long time!
'What?　Ah, long time no see, Amana-chan....

　Amana-chan, with whom she was acquainted, noticed Sakai-san and greeted her prettily.
　With that, the other kids and Amari-san turned their heads towards her.

''You are...?''
Amanashi-san. The man is Marao Sakai, a colleague of mine at work. You see, she's the one who found Amana-chan who got lost at the shopping mall.
''I see........I'm Tianna's mother, Nantenashi. Thank you for saving my daughter.
'No, no. Kazu-kun thanked me as well, but I just happened to be passing by, so...

　When I introduced Ms. Sakai to Ms. Amanashi, she responded in a polite manner that made me feel like Amana's mother.
　I want to be this kind of adult.
　However, even though it looks like Shura is about to happen, the sight of beautiful women talking to each other face to face stands out~....

　The guys who seem to be going to pick up on you are so bashful that they don't come up to you, which is pretty impressive.

"Onii-san's Dorryo-san, that's so racy!
It's so cool.

　Hassumi and Kana-chan give a glittering look at Sakai-san.
　It's just like a woman who can do her job, isn't it?
　It's no wonder that I admire it.

The best thing about this is that it's not just a matter of time.
Hmm?

　As I was feeling such a smile, Chiyuri blushed and called out to Sakai-san.
　I'm sure she'll ask a question like, "How can I become like that?
　You know, she's going to open her mouth any minute now and say...






Is onee-san, could it be that she is Yamato-oni-san's cousin?
What?
Boo?

　At Chiyuri's unreserved question, Sakai-san's face turned red and disconcerted.
　Wait a minute........that's a Shuraba mine!

How did I know that...?
Because just now the lady called you "Kazu-kun"!　So I wonder if it's a good person...

　Ah, Sakai-san looks a little happy.
　Is it because you think of me as a lover with someone you like?
　But I'm sorry, Chiuri-chan........my brother is too insensitive and we've only recently made progress, so our relationship doesn't live up to your expectations yet.......

'Oh, that's a nickname, isn't it?　Look, I don't think of Kazu-kun as a...
'What?　When you come back, I'll ask you what you think of her.
'Stay, wait!　That's a bit of a stretch...

　Then he uttered a tremendous amount of gratitude.
　He's a good kid, but he's clearly not acting like a good kid!

　I'm taken aback and can't stop thinking about what's going on.

　Sakai-san, on the other hand, looks like she's about to cry from embarrassment.
　She came all the way to see Aniki and I'm sorry if I made her look like that.
　Thinking that, I tried to stop Chiyuri-chan, but....

''Chiyuri-chan. Hayakawa-san won't feel good if you embarrass Sakai-san.
'Oh, I'm sorry...'
Uh, no, I'm fine...

　Amanashi-san stopped her quickly.
　But what is it........I'm in a bad mood.......?
　His expression should have been blissfully calm, but there was something in the air.

''Well, thank you.''
No. I've had to deal with rumors from my own experience.
That's right....

　Oh...?
　Didn't Amanashi-san's words just now have a very sharp thorn in her side?
　I didn't mean for it to be said to me, but I felt a cold sweat running down my back that had nothing to do with the heat of the sun?

　As for Sakai-san, her brows are wrinkled as if she is annoyed.
　Oh.........I heard that you were rumored to be dating your brother.
　From what I've heard, it seems like you missed out on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and even I thought what the hell is he doing?

　You've been bothering about it, Mr. Sakai.....　　

".........And yet, it's tough for Minami-san too, isn't it?
What's that?
'Cuz you're so close to your kids, I'm sure you're having a hard time keeping up with them at the pool.
It seems that my daughter wants me to be good friends with Ms. Hayakawa. It's only natural for a parent to respond to their child's wishes.

　Hee........Sakai-san fought back!
　Amanashi-san's smile wavered for a moment as she received that counter, but she returned it to say that she was only acting as a matter of course.

　Eh, yada wait.........
　If I was jokingly comparing it to a shura, is this really not happening?

　More importantly, Tenri-san........

　The two continued to argue without hesitation until Aniki came back, leaving the children, who were unable to say anything due to Atashi's unsettled and swashbuckling atmosphere, alone........
