The homeroom teacher calmly explained the schedule for the upcoming school events while looking at the handouts which were given out.
After finishing our lesson for the day, the classroom of Class 2C was now filled with the warm spring air and a peaceful atmosphere.
「…………」
No no! This is not the time to be relaxed!
There will be a book signing held in two weeks to celebrate the completion of my novel.
Shizuku will most likely be participating in this autographing session.
We’re talking about Shizuku here, the girl that loves my novel so much to the point where it has made her go insane. I can only imagine how she will react when she finds out that I’m actually the author…!
I’ve got to somehow stop Shizuku from attending this autographing session!
I spent the whole morning brainstorming a strategy for this, but in the end, I wasn’t able to come up with anything, and it was now late into the afternoon.
……Well, let’s just calm down for now.
If you think about it, there’s really no guarantee that Shizuku will be showing up to the autographing session in the first place……
「Yeah, of course…. If you think about it, it’s impossible….」
I muttered to myself as the class, busily packing up, finally came to an end.
I can’t at all imagine that pile-bunker type stepsister attending a book autographing event for some sub-mediocre grade romance author with a sparkle in her eyes.
(TLN: he’s becoming self aware o.O)
No matter how much of a fan she is, would Shizuku, the lone JK king who seems to be the complete opposite of an otaku, really participate in such an event……?
(TLN: JK meaning high school girl)
The answer is no.
Shizuku is the type of fan who would only love the works of the author, and not necessarily the author him/herself… maybe so… no, absolutely so… I’d be troubled if it wasn’t the case.
「……Shitty brother, come over here」
As I was plopped down on my desk, brain filled with wishful thoughts, Shizuku called me.
……These stares of my classmates hurt……
Shizuku, who held the title of the most beautiful girl in our school like in those romcom novels, is, needless to say, popular. She is very popular.
This classroom was filled with guys who have tried confessing their love to Shizuku, but ended up being rejected godspeed.
One of them happened to be this handsome looking guy at the window, staring at me.
And for them, it seems like they don’t really care about Shizuku bothering a guy like me.
Dammit…!!!
Shizuku’s obscene read-aloud acts from yesterday have already turned my stomach into a mess… And now why do I have to be spotted by some handsome looking guy…?
In general, these kinds of flags will definitely come back later to bite me in the ass…!
I can already see it… ! It’s instinctual… !
As I stared closely at Shizuku, she brought her mouth close to my ear, seemingly unconcerned about the uncomfortable atmosphere in the classroom.
「….Come on, hurry up. Do you want me to punch you in the stomach?」
Oi, handsome dude glaring resentfully at me.
Is this really the kind of situation that you’d be jealous about?
Is it really the kind of relationship you’d want, being threatened of getting a hole punched in your stomach?
「…. I’ll be right there, just go on ahead and wait a bit for me… 」
「… You know what I’ll do if you make me wait for a minute longer… don’t you?」
「……O-of course… 」
With a glare, Shizuku then left the classroom, ignoring the chilling atmosphere of the room.
I let out a sigh and then started getting ready to leave as well.
But then I saw Rinko, who sat in front of me, looking at me with a frown.
「What is it.. ?」
「Nothing, I was just thinking how hard it must be on you, Ak-kun」
「… Well… 」
「If you’re stressed or tired, you need to tell me, okay? Do you understand?」
「O-ok」
Rinko smiled softly at me.
It has been around a week since the incident at the coffee shop, and I’m still trying to figure out what Shizuku’s motive was for hypnotizing me. I was afraid Rinko would ask me why, but she acted as if it had never happened in the first place.
Shizuku and her have only glanced at each other once in a while, but it has never developed into a fight.
「Ah, then in about…. Two weeks, I can see you?」
In two weeks…?
Ahh right.. I had promised to help Rinko assemble her new bed for the holidays in two weeks.
They said it was pretty large and the parts are also pretty heavy.
「Yeah, I mean, what’s the point if I can’t talk to you」
It’s going to be Rinko’s room that we’d be assembling in the first place.
「Eh? I thought you were going to die with embarrassment, but… you’re surprisingly calm.」
「Why would I be?」
「……..W-well whatever! I’ll going to be dressed up then!」
I wanted to ask about why she had to dress herself up just to assemble a bed, but I couldn’t keep Shizuku waiting, so I hurriedly left my seat.
「I’ll see you later then!」
「Yeah, see you later」
Rinko waved at me adorably.
I pretended to not see the stares of the other students and quickly left the classroom.
＊ ＊ ＊
「You’re kinda late」
We’re at the top of the stairway to the roof.
This spot, which people rarely visit, has become the place where Shizuku would always call me.
「S-sorry」
「…Well, it’s whatever. Look at this five-yen coin」
「Ugh!」
With a skillful hand, Shizuku iron claw gripped my face, and tried hypnotizing me again by shaking the five-yen coin.
Is it my imagination, or is the frequency of these hypnotises increasing day by day?
「Phew, hypnosis successful」
As always, Shizuku smugly declares the success of the hypnosis.
And as usual, my consciousness is as clear as the snow melting on Mt. Fuji. Sorry.
Before Shizuku ordered me to do something, I immediately tried to ask about my original topic.
「H-hey, Shizuku…. Did you know there’s a book signing event for your favorite novel?」
「Ha? Of course I would know」
Lightning fast reply….!
No… there’s still hope…!
「You’re… not going to come…. are you?」
「What? Why wouldn’t I?」
Shizuku replied both times faster than the speed of light.
A reply without any hesitation. At this rate, she’s definitely attending the autographing session.
The only way to stop it now is by trash talking the author (me)…!
「U-um… b-but… you know.. an author’s image doesn’t always match the image of their works, right? Onii-chan thinks that people who write these lascivious/dirty stepsister romcom novels are usually bad people!!」
The moment I said this, I felt my tie tightened.
「Are you seriously trying to mock God in front of me?」
H-her eyes… !!
She’s a lunatic!! She’s crazy!!!
「Or rather, you’re supposed to be hypnotized, but you’re talking so much today…. I wonder if I didn’t do it right」
Shizuku loosened up slightly. I took advantage of the opportunity and slipped out of my restraints.
「Cough..! Cough..! A-anyways! Onii-chan is against it! I can’t let my cute little sister meet some pervert who writes dirty stepsister romantic comedies…!」
I continued to ramble.
If I rebel now against Shizuku, she’ll probably wonder if I’m hypnotized correctly…!
But if I don’t attack now, defeat is just waiting for me!
So I’m going to attack!
「Even though Onii-chan is worrying so much about you…! I-I love you! Don’t you understand?!」
A few moments after hearing the line “I love you,” a puff of steam came out of Shizuku’s head.
「H-humph!! How much do you love me..!! But that’s not what this is about! I want to get my hands on God’s autographed book, and the after story novel at all costs!」
Y-yes! The mood is now slightly negative, and Shizuku is on the verge of breaking! If I keep pushing, I might have a chance!
「Do you really like the author of that work that much…?! Is he that much more important than onii-chan?!」
「Ha!? ….N-no..that’s not right..」
「Uwaaaaaa!!! Onii-chan is heartbroken!!!! You’re going to cheat on me!!!!!」
I let go of my pride and cried out, throwing myself on the floor and acting like a spoiled child.
「Hey!! Don’t scream so loud!」
「Shizuku hates me!!!!!!!」
Even Shizuku started getting flustered by my flailing.
I’m sorry I’m such a pathetic brother, but I don’t want you to kill me either.
After all, Shizuku is gentle. If I hate her going this much, there’s no way she’ll attend the event!
I’ve won!
It wasn’t long before I was convinced of this.
As I continued to flail my head around on the floor, Shizuku half-heartedly put my head on her thighs.
This is….. the legendary…!
「…T-there there…. good boy, don’t cry…」
A LAP PILLOW?!
「Shizuku?!」
「…H-how could I ever possibly dislike you」
Shizuku patted my head, face slowly turning red.
Shizuku’s thighs felt so soft and firm at the same time that they seemed out of this world.
She was a little sweaty, probably from her nervousness.
The combination of the fragrant used in her skirt and Shizuku’s own smell made her smell very erotic.
The superb firmness, softness, and scent of Shizuku’s thighs. It was a heavenly healing space with a quality that surpasses that of a high-end massage parlor.
「Honestly…. really… onii-chan loves me too much..!! ehehe..」
My stepsister, who is a tsundere and cold, is currently my lap pillow.
This is the best, to say the least.
As I was wondering if I should just completely turn around and lie face first whilst taking a deep breath, Shizuku’s cheeks reddened, suggesting something outrageous was probably going to happen.
「W-well, if you insist, why don’t you go to the autographing session with me?」
「what..?」
「Next Sunday… We can go together… U-um.. a date!! You siscon!!」
At my book signing..? A date with Shizuku?
You can’t just declare this suicidal act!
「No… But.. I have some plans next week…」
「Are you trying to go against me?」
「Eh…..」
My stepsister, whose eyes were now completely black.
Ahhhh… these are the eyes of someone who’ll kill any living thing without hesitation. She’s completely resolved herself.
「No!! I’m looking forward to it!! A date with Shizuku!!」
「Hmph! It’s not like I really care about it!」
I shed bitter tears as I watched Shizuku act tsundere.
And thus, a double-booked autographing date between me and Shizuku was now planned.
