My little sister is too cute, so I have to protect her!

"Oh! Welcome to the beach!"

"..."

After being thrown out of a moving car while being tied up by a bungee cord, Haruto, who is totally drenched right now, is staring intensely at Mio.

"Oh, my! You don't need to be so tense! How was the gift that Erika arranged for you?"

"Gift?"

"You know, tying you up!"

"So it's Erika again, huh?!?! Why can't my little sister be a normal one?!?!"

"That said, I was the one who ordered them to use a bungee cord, though."

"..."

Although it was not very apparent, if looked closely, you can see that Haruto is sighing inwardly.

"So... Can you release me now?"

"That's not under my authority, you know? Go ask your sister. Well, I'm off!"

"W-Wait!!!"

"Shut up, plebian!"

************

Watching that Haru-something guy getting thrown out of a moving car into the sea was quite amusing. Although that was amusing in itself, watching Mio taunting him was even much more amusing! Furthermore, with the tea and snacks that maid-san prepared, it was as if I was watching a movie!

"Nee, Hanako. What do you think will happen next?"

"Who knows?"

"Ma~ That's true. Oh, and do you think that the girl who used Haru something guy as a decoy will turn up?"

"She might."

After reaching that point in the conversation, I suddenly had a great idea.

"Hey, Hanako! Let's make a bet!"

"Huh?"

"I'll bet that if she comes again, she'll use that Haru something guy as a decoy once more. You in?"

"Hee~ That sounds interesting. Since you're betting on that, I guess I'll bet on the exact opposite situation then! So, what should we bet on?"

"Hm..."

Now... What should I use for the wager of the bet? If it is too light of a wager, it would be no fun...

"How about an order?"

"An order?"

"Whoever loses have to do what the winner says. That kind of thing. Are you in?"

"Of course!"

Thus, an interesting bet was made without being known by anyone else but the two of us.

*cough*

Ah... maybe maid-san too. But hey, it's not as if she's going to spill the beans, right?

************

"Hou~ It seemed that decoy-kun did a good job of shaking them off, huh?"

On the way to the port, a small blonde girl with twintail hair is walking down the streets leisurely with a black plastic bag in her left hand.

Stopping at a certain ice cream shop, she bought a delicious looking ice cream cone and held it in her other hand while licking it carefully, as if she is trying to avoid damaging the ice cream.

"Ma~~~ It's only a matter of time before I get back to the mainland. Now... What should I do to kill the time...?"

After pondering for a moment, she came up with a great idea.

"Meh! I'll just go to the beach!"
