After school, I was riding my bicycle.
I have an appointment to meet up with Sachiko at a cafe near the school she and Miyu attends.
I never thought the day would come when I would contact a real girl and arrange a date with her.
The way we met couldn't be described as pretty, but that's a matter of personal preference.
From now on, let's get to know each other and become friends.
I didn't even know how to stand on the starting line, but I finally found the path I was supposed to take.
"Onii-san, thank you for your hard work."
Her hair tie with a cherry on it and her side tail tied to one side were perfect trademarks for finding her.
I park my bike and wave back to Sachiko who is waving in front of the store.
"Thank you for your hard work. My bad, even though it's already exam period."
"Don't worry about it. I have to go to cram school, but the school tests aren't difficult."
To Sachiko's piercing smile, I opened the door of the store, but this time I couldn't smile back.
"Huh? But didn't you say you wanted me to help you study the other day?"
"I'm confident in my regular exams, so it's okay. What I want you to teach me is about studying for entrance exams."
I was guided to a sofa seat by a staff member, and I forced an expression on my face so as not to be distracted by Sachiko behind me.
It's already decided that it would be impossible for me to teach her how to study for the entrance exams.
I was lucky enough to get into the school I'm currently attending.
"Just in case I have to ask. Where are you planning to take the exam?"
"I'm thinking about going to the school in the west because the uniform is cute. It's a little high standard though."
Yeah, impossible.
There is a 10 point difference in standard deviation between my school and the school in the west.
As far as I am concerned, it's alien territory.
I'm sure Sachiko will be smart enough to deal with it with just a little bit of effort.
Her health and physical education is at a failing level, though.
"I see. I wonder where Miyu will take the exam."
"Just a theory, but I think she's taking it at Onii-san's place. She doesn't seem to want to travel far."
“Is it okay to choose a high school for that reason...”
"I think it's fine. Miyu can probably study on her own anyways. She can choose any university no matter where it is."
Sachiko opens the menu with me.
We sat down deeply on the sofa, and like before, were lined up next to each other, with a fist-sized gap between us.
The cafe latte with chocolate and cream is really expensive, huh.
It probably includes the cost of the place.
If we went to a cafe every time we went on a date, I'd go bankrupt right away.
I have to think of some way to spend time with her that doesn't involve spending money.
"How do junior high school students make money? Some of them spend so much that it's hard to believe they're just receiving pocket money from their parents."
I'm mainly talking about Miyu.
"It's pocket money for everyone, you know. It seems like some kids receive several tens of thousands (in yen), so I'm a little jealous..."
Sachiko puffs out her cheeks.
Judging from her reaction, it doesn't seem like Sachiko has a lot of pocket money.
Tens of thousands in pocket money has to be a lie.
I can't believe that.
Even though at that time, I worked so hard to save money to the point I was stingy with even my lunch expenses.
"I guess it can't be helped because junior high school students can't have part-time jobs. I wonder if they give too much... Haruka, she probably receives six figures."
She does go on vacation to a literal remote island.
A few tens of thousands would of course not be enough.
"Haruka-chan? I heard that she doesn't actually get any pocket money."
Sachiko looks into my face as she points out her order to the waiter and explains it to her.
I ordered the same thing.
"Doesn't get any? I heard that she and Miyu travels a lot though."
"She has money, you know. She's a model. It seems like she's making a lot of money."
Ahh, a model.
So there was that method too.
I wonder if Miyu is doing the same thing.
Even though there was no sign of that at all.
If she's a fashion model, it's no wonder that she has so many clothes, with all those connections and stuff.
"Model as in magazine model, right? Do they make that much money?"
"Haruka-chan seems to be working in a rather niche field. It seems like she can make a good profit because she can sell at a high price."
A niche field.
When I hear that, the exchange with Miyu that day replays in my head.
--If you peek in my closet, I’ll cut ties with you.
Miyu forbade me with a tone that was almost threatening.
When I heard about clothes that she don't want people to see, I immediately thought of cosplay.
Perhaps, if she makes money in that genre, it's no wonder that she has such considerable purchasing power.
"...Do you have any photos?"
Miyu may be seen in a two-shot with Haruka.
I admit that the remark contained such evil thoughts.
I know it's a terrible idea to pry into people's secrets.
But ever since then, I've been wondering somewhere in my heart.
It's hard to believe that the serious and unfriendly Miyu would wear heavy equipment and revealing costumes, pose and wink at the camera.
I can't imagine, but maybe Miyu makes a fool of herself and exudes some sort of sex appeal for a very small portion of people.
"I don't have any. They don't seem to be on the internet either. Do you know Yuka? Haruka and Miyu are always on good terms with her. Maybe she knows more."
Sachiko puts her mouth on the cafe mocha that the staff brought her, winces at the heat, then blows on it.
Yuka, huh.
She's the one who liked mischief and got punished by Miyu.
Actually, I still have that naked photo of Yuka on my smartphone.
Now that I have a girlfriend, maybe I should delete it.
Now that I think about it, I was doing something criminally dangerous.
As my little sister invited me, I took pleasure in seeing a junior high school student naked and used her as fap material.
Sachiko doesn't know that she's dating such a man.
I'm starting to feel sorry for her.
I want to punish myself somehow, and I pour the hot cafe mocha into my mouth all at once.
"Ho--oOT!!"
"What are you doing? I'm even blowing on it too."
"M-my bad."
There was no way I could forget Yuka to such an extent.
I take out my smartphone to secretly delete the photo.
Speaking of which, Yuka said it at the time.
She unlocked Miyu's smartphone and looked inside without permission.
And that triggered Miyu's wrath.
I wonder if Yuka holds the extraordinary secrets of Miyu.
"Ah, I see. Onii-san knows Yuka-chan, right?"
Sachiko clapped her hands and was convinced.
Wait, how do you know that?
Even though we were acquaintances, we had only ever met face-to-face.
"Today, Yuka-chan told me at school. She has something to talk about with Onii-san, so she wanted you to meet her sometime."
"To me? Why?"
"I asked her why, but she didn't tell me. She also told me to keep it a secret from Miyu, so it's probably not something good..."
It's common knowledge that Yuka is not a good person.
Considering how many terrible things she's done, it's only natural.
"Is she trying to talk to me after all, because of yesterday’s recruitment for a girlfriend?"
We did a huge recruitment drive.
There's no way it's not being talked about.
"Ehehe. That's right. After Miyu-chan informed everyone that the matter had been resolved, I was the only one who didn't deny it, so I was found out due to process of elimination. I became a bit of a hot topic at school."
So it was that after all.
Even so, if it's just a matter of having a boyfriend, it's not a problem if it gets found.
"The recruitment conditions were 'that', right? Didn't they say something strange?"
Recruitment is conditional on being able to date on the premise of sex.
That group, which was full of sexual desire for Miyu, gave the impression that they were quite sexually unrestrained, but they were all latent lesbians, so there were probably very few people with experience.
If you hear that these girls have started a relationship that involves sex, you can't help but be turned into a paparazzi.
"I was asked about that, but I was embarrassed, so I said, 'Soon.' I thought that if I did that way, people wouldn't be surprised if I confessed that I did it."
A wise decision.
My first impression was that she was an airhead, but after talking to her like this, she seems very responsible.
"Sorry for making you trouble."
"It's not something to apologize for. I'm excited and having fun, too."
I was nervous about whether everyone at school would find out or not.
Sure, it's a thrill of youth... but it wasn't pure in interior.
"By the way, um..."
Sachiko took out her smartphone and froze it there.
It seems like she's looking at my account on the messaging app.
"What's wrong?"
"Ah, no! It's nothing. Ehehe."
Sachiko quickly picks up the cup and hides her face.
I guess this is what they mean when they say someone looks like a small animal.
"By the way, about your by the way..."
Sachiko quickly turned her eyes towards me with the cup still in her mouth.
"What's the matter?"
"How should I put it, about our sexual matters... How should we continue that from now on..."
"A-ahh! It's about that! Yeah, uh...!"
What should I be doing if I make a girl say things like this?
It's still not too late now.
I have to take the lead.
First of all, rubber.
Apparently it's sold at convenience stores, so I'm going to buy it.
The problem is the location.
We can't do it in such a public place, and since we both live at home, we can't do it in our rooms.
Where do other people even do it?
I can't use a hotel, no, if I use a business hotel... Either way, it's too expensive.
"Why don't I look it up on the internet?"
When I searched on my smartphone, I found that surprisingly many couples were doing it at their parents' homes.
People who don't mind bringing their boyfriend or girlfriend into their house seem to do it at home.
Karaoke and internet cafes are the next best thing.
My parents don't come home until evening, but Miyu is usually there.
If I ask her for the days she's going out, maybe I can get it done in my free time.
But if I do something so obvious, I'll definitely get suspicious.
No matter how much we had sex in front of her, Miyu wouldn't feel good if it became a regular occurrence in the next room.
First of all, I don't want to have sex in the room next to where my little sister is.
"Speaking of the internet, I think I saw an internet cafe near my cram school."
"If that's the case, wouldn't there be a risk that Sachiko will run into someone she knows...?"
"it's on a quiet street behind the cram school, so I think it's okay. It costs money, and it's prohibited during school hours, so... Only naughty kids like us who do naughty things will use it, you know?"
Sachiko laughs provocatively.
Was she always this devilish of a girl?
I'm sure that, because of her inherent lack of shame, once she had experienced it, she lost all restraint.
It's also because of Miyu's indoctrination.
I want to scold her.
"Well then, shall we do that?"
I left the cafe with Sachiko.
Once we get home and change our clothes, we meet up at the bus stop and head for the internet cafe.
The next place we're going to is also nominally a cafe, I guess.
I just wish we have a private room where no one would disturb us.
From the world's point of view, all people who do erotic things are evil.
Even love hotels aren't welcomed.
"I'm home."
I whispered home and opened the front door.
The house was unlocked, so Miyu was home.
I'm about to go out and have sex with her friend, so I can't have Miyu bumping into me.
Just as I was thinking that, the door to the bathroom suddenly swung open.
"Ah, Onii-chan. Welcome back."
Miyu, who had just washed her face and was taking care of her skin, had her bangs tied up with a headband.
Her forehead is completely visible and her face is slightly slanted, which is also adorable.
"That was early. Didn't you have a date?"
"I did, but I decided to change my clothes first and then go out again."
"Huh."
Miyu stopped in her place and stared at me.
I wonder what this pressure is.
It's like I'm being stared at by a snake. I can't move.
"Why can't you just do it at home?"
"What are you-!?"
As I was taking off my shoes, I overreacted and felt like I was losing my cool.
"What, you ask. Sex?"
"Don't just shamelessly say it..."
Even now, she's a teenage girl who's as beautiful and delicate as a flower.
If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would want to seal away the useless knowledge of sex on the same level of Sachiko she has.
“How did you know?”
"If it's a place you can't go to in a uniform, it's probably an internet cafe. Couples don't use places like that for anything other than sex, right?"
"Prejudice is too harsh."
I'm through.
This girl is a psychic.
That's the only answer.
"Onii-chan, why don't we decide on the days we'll each be at home and not?"
It was Miyu's proactive suggestion that I use my room.
Even for Miyu, she would want me to get closer to Sachiko as soon as possible and distance myself from my little sister.
"I don't have any club activities, so it's fine if I stay until 6 p.m. We can make arrangements in advance to decide on days when we absolutely won't be going home. If we don't have any plans, we'll spend the day as usual. If Onii-chan wants to use the house, you can vacate it for me on another day. That's all."
In other words, let me use the house for my convenience, and let Miyu use the house for the same amount.
I'm sure Miyu would like to invite her friends over and do this and that like before.
Not a bad suggestion.
"But, didn't you hate the thought of what your older brother was doing in the next room yesterday?"
"I'm about to go back to my room and think that Onii-chan is probably having sex with Sachiko at the internet cafe by now though.''
"Okay, okay. Let's make that arrangement. I will accept it with gratitude."
Miyu has already come home today, and I told Sachiko that I'm going to the internet cafe.
I can't imagine what the place will be like more than I can imagine a love hotel, so I can't shake my worries, but since things have turned out like this, I have no choice but to do it.
It said it was a private room, so I guess it's okay.
