Chapter 18

After school, when the afternoon classes were over, the boys in my classroom were trying to study along with their best friends, with their desks facing each other.

The girls too have made their own group and are studying with their respected girl-groups.

It's not the case that I don't have any friends, rather more like that I don't want to study with them. Because I think that if I study together with my friends it becomes harder for me to concentrate.

Everyone in the classroom began to buzz with noise as they looked towards the hallway. As I got ready and was about to leave, I glanced at that direction from where the commotion was coming. There I found two individuals standing, Neiro-san with… Neiro-san?

So… were there two Neiro-san standing there. No, no that cannot be. So, she must be the little-sister whom Neiro-san was talking about during the lunch break?

Yeap, that would definitely be the case.

The boys around me were whispering things like, "They're both so cute." and "I wish I could go out on a date with one of them."

The girls in my classroom on the other hand are quietly looking at Neiro-san and her twin sister with a look on their faces suggesting that they had already given up competing against these sisters.

Am I going to go and hang out with these two, today… I am not going to get stabbed in the middle of the road will I? Am I really going to be fine, Me?

I curled up and hid in one of the corners of the classroom so that Neiro-san and her sister wouldn't find me.

However, there was no point in doing so.

Neiro-san and her sister must have entered the classroom. Suddenly the entire classroom went silent. With only the sound from their footsteps that could be heard.

Their footsteps gradually came in my direction and finally stopped in front of me.

When I looked up at them with fearful eyes, I saw Neiro-san looking at me with a smile on her face.

Her sister standing right next to her was looking at me with an interested gaze.

"What are you doing Sorata-kun? Come on, let's go."

"Sorata-kun, my name is Otona. I am Neiro onee-san's twin younger sister. Nice to meet you~."

It seems Neiro-san's sister's name is Otona-san. So, they were twins huh, I guess therefore they look so similar to each other.

I slowly stood up while leaning against the classroom wall for some support. As I stood up gradually, I realised that everyone in the class was staring straight at me.

Getting embarrassed, I hurriedly gathered my belongings into the backpack and left the classroom.

Neiro-san and Otona-san had already made preparations and immediately caught up with me.

Then Neiro-san, Otona-san and I, with all three of us together, decided to go hangout after-school.

.....

(POV change to Hoshino-san?)

What was he? Sorata-kun, from moments ago. He was so cute. What even was that existence? I can't wait to make him my, and mine alone.

Even though I was the one to forcefully kiss him, but, his expression, Sorata kun's attitude right after that; it was so mesmerising that it kept me captivated, and made me kiss him even deeper.

… I will never let go of you from me ever again, Sorata-kun. I'll kiss you later again, ok~.

Wait for me, Sorata-kun.

...

(Return of POV to Sorata-kun)

"Neiro-san, where are you taking us to?"

After leaving the school premise, we started walking around the town with Neiro-san leading the way.

She said that she wanted to hang out with me but the place we are walking towards is a neighbourhood residential area.

What have you planned on doing together?

Come to think of it, this place looks very similar to the place in the picture Neiro-san sent to me previously. It was a scene I loved to see.

"We're almost there, just a bit longer."

Otona-san hasn't spoken even a word for a long time. She just keeps glancing at me and when our eyes are about to meet, she looks away immediately.

Otona-san probably thinks that I have not realised it yet, however it was hard not to realise it in fact.

"Um.. Otona-san, is there something stuck on my face?" I tried asking Otona-san honestly.

"N-no there's nothing stuck though!"

"Oh, is that so? Understood."

It seems there was nothing stuck on my face, apparently.

If that is true then what was even the reason behind that behaviour?

I kept thinking about it for a long time without minding the background around me change, and then suddenly Neiro-san stopped walking.

"Come on, we're here."

When I knew that we had arrived, as I looked up to see where we had arrived… in front of me was…

"Neiro-san's house?"
