Scary big sister

Hayama approached the group of little girls and helped them, finding out that they were frightened by the rat snake. He quickly took the snake away before he reassured the group of little girls with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry. It's just a rat snake."

"Wow, Onii-san! You're so amazing!"

"How can you touch it?"

Even if Hayama's appearance wasn't as good as Shishio's, he was still the number two most popular guy in the school, and the group of elementary school students who didn't have any experience were fooled and excitedly gathered around him.

However, some of them were still staring in Shishio's direction.

Still, one among those groups didn't join the fun and stood to the side as if she didn't exist. She didn't join the group and fiddled quietly with her camera.

"It's fine. They don't bite, and they're not poisonous." Hayama thought this little girl was just awkward and introverted, so he didn't think too much. Instead, he was looking at a group of little girls who gathered around.

Shishio didn't blame Hayama since this was what people would normally do.

They would take the majority instead of the minority.

It was also impossible to talk to when the minority didn't take the initiative.

As for who would be blamed in this situation, Shishio wouldn't say anything, but when he saw Yukinoshita let out a long sigh, he knew he needed to do something. He rubbed her head and said, "Let me do something for that girl?"

"What are you going to do?" Yukinoshita ignored the fact her head was rubbed by Shishio. Instead, she looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to do with the little girl that was isolated by the rest of her group.

"You want to help that girl, right?" Shishio asked.

Yukinoshita stared at Shishio for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"It's okay. I can handle it." Shishio waved his hand and approached Hayama, who was surrounded by elementary school students.

When he moved, the rest also looked at him curiously.

On the other hand, Hayama didn't know anything and talked with the group of little girls.

"Onii-san, where's the next control point?"

"I wonder?"

"Let's look for it together!"

The elementary school students that came to this summer camp were tasked to find a checkpoint for an event. The checkpoint wasn't hard to find, but they had to solve the riddle, which was quite troublesome, so they acted like a spoiled girl in front of Hayama.

Hayama showed a troubled expression for a moment before showing his good nature as usual.

"Well... okay, but just at this point, okay?"

Hayama then put a finger in front of his lips and said, "But don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Yay!"

The girls were happy.

Hikigaya, who saw all this, could only sigh at Hayama since this guy's communication was too suave. He thought keeping mutual secrets was another technique for dealing with people.

'Now, what are you going to do?'

Hikigaya looked at Shishio, who approached Hayama and the little girl's group.

Hikigaya and the little girls were about to find the checkpoint, but they were stopped by this voice.

"Hello, sorry to bother you."

Hearing this voice, the little girls turned their bodies as fast as a cheetah in front of their prey.

"Yes?"

"Do you need something, Onii-san?"

"Ah, by the way, what's your name, Onii-san?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"......." Shishio, Hayama, and everyone.

Shishio's lips twitched, and he thought this group of little girls was really promiscuous. However, he still maintained his gentle smile and squatted down, so he could match their heights, and they didn't need to look up at him.

Even the girl who was isolated looked at him curiously.

"I know you're all busy finding checkpoints, but I need one person to volunteer to help. Is there anyone who wants to help me?"

"Me!" 4x

The four girls raised their hands at the same time.

"......." Hayama.

Shishio smiled and said, "I am happy that you all want to help me, but I only need one person, so..." He looked at the little girl who triggered his system and didn't raise her hand. "What about you? Can you help me?"

The little girl was surprised, but she nodded subconsciously.

"My name is Shishio Oga. You can call me, Shishio-nii. What's your name?"

"Tsurumi Rumi."

"Thank you, Rumi-chan." Shishio gently patted her head and said, "Come on. Follow me." He then looked at Hayama and the four girls. "Sorry to bother you, everyone. Hayama-senpai, please take care of the rest, alright?" He stood and naturally put his hand on her shoulder, leading Rumi away from her group.

Rumi let him lead her while looking at him curiously.

"......." Hayama's lips twitched.

As for the four little girls, Shishio decided to ignore them and walked away.

However, Hikigaya and the rest who watched his operation could only suck a deep breath in awe.

His smile, gesture, and softness made people unable to reject him.

The way he matched the height of the group of little girls was also noticed by a few people, and it made them realize how scary this guy's ability to seduce someone was.

Hikigaya looked at Shishio, who brought Rumi away, but suddenly his shoulder was patted. He was confused and turned before he saw it was his little sister.

Komachi patted her older brother's shoulder, let out a long sigh, and didn't say anything.

"........"

On the other hand, Shishio didn't bring Rumi to his group. Instead, he went to a nearby bench where no one was there. He then sat there and said, "Rumi-chan, I am going to rest, so please help me to see if someone is around. It'll be terrible if they see me skip work."

"........" Rumi.

"I will buy you a drink later."

"...Is this what a high school student was supposed to do?" Rumi let out a long sigh before she sat next to him.

The bench was cool right under the shade, and they could see good scenery from their position.

When Shishio didn't take the initiative, Rumi asked, "Why?"

"Why? what do you mean?" Shishio asked.

"Why did you bring me here?" Rumi asked while looking at Shishio.

Shishio was in a relaxed position and didn't look at Rumi. "As I have said before, I need someone to help me to guard and remind me in case they see me skip the work." He then looked at her with a smile and said, "With you beside me, I can easily make an excuse, right?"

"........"

However, Rumi didn't seem to let him go and kept staring at him.

Shishio looked at Rumi speechlessly and said, "I feel sorry for your future boyfriend somehow."

Rumi blinked her eyes and felt slightly embarrassed before she looked away. After all, she was still an elementary school student, and even though today's elementary school students are promiscuous, many were pure.

"Well, it is a summer camp. You should smile instead of showing such an unhappy expression, right?" Shishio patted Rumi's head and said, "So rest here for a while."

"...Aren't you the one who is making an excuse to skip the work?" Rumi pouted while looking away, trying to avoid him, so he wouldn't see her face.

"Maybe." Shishio laughed and continued to rest.

Rumi rubbed her eyes and looked at him for a moment before saying, "Thanks." She showed a slightly embarrassed expression and

"I am the one who should thank you. Also, you should quickly tell me if you see a scary big sister."

"Scary big sister?"

"Yeah, she's so scary. If you're not careful, you might be eaten."

"......." Rumi stared at Shishio, wondering whether this guy thought of her as a naive little girl. Still, she nodded with a smile since it had been a while since someone had treated her like this.

However, their happy time quickly ended when they heard this voice.

"Who is this scary big sister?"

"........"

Shishio and Rumi turned and saw Yukinoshita was there.

Yukinoshita smiled sweetly, and the summer mountain became a perfect background for this beautiful girl, but strangely enough, when she smiled, the temperature in their surroundings lowered to several degrees.

Shishio blinked his eyes, then asked, "Scary big sister? Did I say that?" He looked at Rumi and asked for her cooperation. "Rumi-chan, I have never said that, right?"

"You did," Rumi answered plainly.

"......"

Shishio thought that Rumi's future boyfriend would be miserable in the future, but he quickly looked at Yukinoshita and said cheekily, "Don't listen to this kid."

"Who is a little kid?!" Rumi fumed and felt unhappy.

"She might have misheard me since I believed I told her to wake me up when she saw a beautiful big sister like the one in front of me," Shishio said cheekily.

"....." Rumi.

Yukinoshita sighed while rubbing her glabella. However, she looked away since she didn't dare to meet his eyes. She looked at Rumi and said, "The event is almost over. Do you want to stay or stay with us?"

Rumi stood up and said, "I will go back." She looked at Shishio and said, "Bye, Shishio-nii."

"Bye, Rumi-chan."

Rumi bowed her head to Yukinoshita before she walked away alone. She might walk normally, yet the two somehow could see how lonely her back was at this moment.

Shishio looked at Rumi's back for a moment, and he knew that it was impossible for him to fix the relationship between her and her "supposed to be friends" with just a mere few days. He also didn't think it was worth it for her to make up with her friends.

After all, even if Rumi returned to her friends, their relationship couldn't return to how it used to be. Their relationship also was never equal to each other, which made it even more troublesome.

Shishio let out a sigh, wondering how an elementary school student would be troubled with such a situation.

Couldn't they just happily play around like a stupid kid instead of bullying someone?

"What are you thinking?" Yukinoshita asked.

Shishio looked at Yukinoshita, who sat next to him naturally, and said, "I am thinking about you."

"Me?" Yukinoshita was dumbfounded and forgot the fact he called her a scary big sister.

"You want to do something for that girl, right?" Shishio asked.

Yukinoshita stared at him for a moment before she nodded.

Shishio patted Yukinoshita's head gently and said, "While we talk, I haven't heard much from her. I'll talk to her again later. By the way, I am quite hungry. We're going to make lunch after this, right?"

"Yes." Yukinoshita nodded. "Everyone will prepare curry later."

"Curry, huh? That seems nice."

"Yeah, it is nice, but do you think I'll forget you called me a scary big sister before?" Yukinoshita asked with a gentle smile.

"......."
