"Onii-chan is the best! : Actually, I personally prefer going to private islands. Public beaches are too crowded, and it's not fun at all."

"Err: In that case, I'll go inform Dad and Mom. Kasugano will be handled by Sora."

"Onii-chan is the best!" (Yeah.)

After sending the last message, Kasugano Sora logged out of her account, turned off her computer, and prepared to reread the novel written by her beloved.

But just then, my phone suddenly chimed with a message notification.

She picked up her phone from the computer desk, opened it, and saw that it was a message from her best friend.

'Err: I almost forgot something!'

Err: During lunchtime, I overheard my mom and dad discussing something.

'err: I've seen this kind of thing often before, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But then I heard Xiaoqiong's name, and Mom even said she was going to talk to Auntie about it.'

"I asked them what happened, but they both cryptically told me it was a surprise and wouldn't say anything more."

"Err: Although I don't know what they're up to, Xiao Qiong should pay more attention lately, and it would be best to inform her aunt and uncle as well."

Kasugano Sora was also somewhat bewildered after reading the message.

She visited her best friend's house not too often, but not too few either; she had met both Sayuri Sawamura and Mr. Spencer.

She was struck by how kind and approachable the two men were.

Especially the former!

Although they are elders, interacting with them feels like interacting with peers, which reduces a lot of pressure for them.

Now that she hears that the two are discussing something related to her, she doesn't feel anxious or uneasy.

Because she didn't think the two men would have any bad thoughts about her, a junior and their daughter's good friend.

To put it bluntly, she didn't deserve to be schemed against by both Sayuri Sawamura and Mr. Spencer!

Besides, if it were really a bad idea, the two of them wouldn't discuss it in front of Eriri, would they?

"Although there's no danger, we should still let Mom and Dad know."

With that thought in mind, she left the bedroom and went downstairs.

Monday.

Monday.

After two days of rest, the students either came to class looking listless with dark circles under their eyes, or full of energy.

After two days apart, the sound of classmates greeting each other was constant.

In stark contrast to the noisy atmosphere was Kasugano Mirai, who was resting with her eyes closed on the table.

When Hachiman Hikigaya arrived at the classroom, he found his friend, as always, dozing off on his desk.

He put his backpack on his seat, then walked over to his friend's table and gently tapped on it.

"Kasugano, why do you always look so listless?"

“If the police hadn’t never contacted you, I would have definitely thought you were doing something bad at night.”

After everyone suggested it last time, the Service Club members started calling each other by their names, but it felt a little strange for two boys of the same age to call each other by their names so affectionately, so Hachiman Hikigaya and Mirai Kasugano still mostly called each other by their surnames.

Hearing the familiar voice, Kasugano Mirai opened her eyes and saw a pair of dead fish eyes.

He rolled his eyes and said irritably, "If you played games or read novels all night, you'd be just as listless as I am."

Hachiman Hikigaya wasn't buying it and went straight to the heart of the matter: "Then why don't you just play less?"

Kasugano Mirai pouted: "I'm usually fine, but I was really happy yesterday, and my emotions got the better of me."

Upon hearing this, the former immediately became interested.

Although her eyes remained unchanged, her voice held a hint of curiosity: "What happy thing happened? Did you win the lottery?"

The person involved didn't want to comment on his friend's speculation, so he rolled his eyes at him and told him to figure it out himself.

Upon seeing this, Hachiman Hikigaya immediately realized that his guess was wrong.

Enraged, he decided to look at the answer directly—

"Kasugano, you might as well just tell me the answer."

Kasugano Mirai didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly stated the reason: "I'm happy because I can live a peaceful and ordinary life for a while."

Upon learning the answer, Hachiman Hikigaya gave the same look as an old man looking at his phone on the subway, and sharply retorted, "Hey, hey, hey! Are you some mercenary who came back from the Middle East or some other war-torn place? Aren't we living ordinary lives every day?"

"It has even become so mundane that it's become boring, to the point that foolish teenage boys and girls, in order to celebrate their youth and seek excitement, start flirting with each other at school."

To be fair, these words carried a degree of personal emotion.

Kasugano Mirai listened patiently as her friend finished speaking, yawned, and didn't pick up on the conversation. Instead, she casually changed the subject: "Hachigaya, I'm planning to go to a friend's private island during summer vacation. If you're free at home, you can bring Komachi along."

Thank goodness, he had no ill intentions when he said that. He simply felt that his friend was even more withdrawn than him and needed to communicate and interact with more people. Moreover, with Komachi, that social butterfly who livens up the atmosphere, the trip would only be more enjoyable and smoother.

To everyone's surprise, Hachiman Hikigaya, upon receiving the invitation, was not happy at all. Instead, he immediately became wary and took a few steps back.

Judging from his posture, if it weren't for the fear of bumping into the students behind him and the inconvenience of communication, he would have even planned to retreat to his own seat.

"Kasugano, you told me before that you wouldn't have any designs on Komachi!"

"..."

Upon hearing her friend's words, Kasugano Mirai's expression finally changed at that moment.

He looked at his friend with disgust: "Hachiman, you look really disgusting right now."

"With this, you still have the nerve to say you're not a die-hard siscon?!"

"What right does someone who says they can marry my sister have to judge me like that?"

"Then let me put it another way."

"Xiaoqiong and I have already started dating. Can you and Xiaochi date?"

In short, the Hachiman is no longer capable of being launched.

As a rational monster, Hachiman Hikigaya certainly couldn't be like the male protagonist of Oreimo, recklessly getting together with his sister.

Even if they are siblings in name only and secretly married, there are still hidden dangers.

After all, parents aren't stupid. When the siblings reach a certain age and still refuse to get married, they can easily see the problem, and even the neighbors will gossip about it.

As a brother-complex man, even though Hachiman Hikigaya is very reluctant to part with his sister, he has to admit that one day, a man of the opposite sex will appear by his sister's side to protect her.

And that person of the opposite sex could not, and absolutely could not be, him!

He didn't want his sister to be unable to tell their parents about her relationship in the future, and to have to secretly hold her marriage without the blessings of relatives and friends.

As time goes by, they even have to endure the gossip and criticism of others.

He absolutely does not want this kind of terrible ending!

Even so, he still did not want his sister to have contact with his friends.

It's not that good friends are bad.

In fact, as a close friend of Kasugano Mirai, Hachiman Hikigaya was more aware of her excellence than anyone else in the school.

—Handsome appearance, privileged family background, excellent academic performance, well-developed athletic ability, and so on.

From any perspective, he can be considered a good match.

Why was he so resistant to his sister having contact with the other person?

Because my friend is attracting too many suitors!

Which loving brother would want to see his precious sister share her lover with someone else?

There may be such a person, but that person is definitely not Hachiman Hikigaya!

Perhaps seeing her friend's unusually serious and earnest expression, Kasugano Mirai's tone also became serious: "Hachigaya, believe me, I have never had any designs on Komachi."

"When I used to occasionally say that I would visit your house to play with Komachi, it was just a joke. Seeing how big your reaction was, I never said it again."

"Besides, you're not completely unaware of my situation. Do you think I have the energy to flirt with other girls?"

"The invitation I just gave you really meant exactly what it said: I invited you and Komachi to come and have fun together."

"You, as the older brother, know best about Komachi's ability to liven up the atmosphere and communicate with people. Inviting you is like a safety net for myself."

Upon catching a certain word, the wariness in Hachiman Hikigaya's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a faint, uncontrollable surprise.

"Kasugano, you wouldn't happen to be planning to...?"

Yui Yuigahama often feels that she is out of place in the Service Club because she is too active.

Because, apart from her, the other members of the club were all incredibly taciturn.

In such a community atmosphere, most people would probably feel targeted.

The final result is either leaving the club or becoming a ghost member, merely having a name attached to the club and never coming back.

But she was neither of those two; she chose to act as the cheerful person and lubricant of the service department.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Mirai Kasugano were initially at odds.

It's okay, she's just here to crack a joke!

They're all taciturn types, is the club going silent?

It's okay, she'll liven things up!

What stands out is optimism and open-mindedness.
