Chapter 61: Grand Entrance

“No, no…wait…what?…Natsu? What kind of strange thing are you saying? I think it’s your usual nonsense, but this time it’s a bit much…”

“Weren’t there quite a few pieces of evidence?”

“It’s strange, Onee-chan…in the first place, they’re all girls…”

Starting with Yumeka’s words, Yoshimi added another jab.

But Natsu reacted to that jab as if there was nothing strange, and then Yumeka also continued the story as she was the one who started talking in the first place.

However, the reason why she spoke a little loudly at first was because she was embarrassed by the story that was out of the ordinary, and now that she has calmed down a little, she was maintaining a calm voice again.

“With such a narrow-minded thinking, you can’t be with us…ugh…”

“Shut up!”

Natsu was about to say something that sounded like she had heard it somewhere…yeah, it was similar to what a director who gave me a terrible experience in movie appreciation,

which was one of the few hobbies I had in my previous life, said, but she was stopped by Kazusa hitting her head.

Natsu herself didn’t think deeply about it, as she said it to a child like Yumeka, but it’s not a very desirable thing to say, so it’s understandable…and I think I would have done it if Kazusa hadn’t moved first.

“So…evidence…? It’s absurd…but I’m curious…can you tell me?”

Still, except for Natsu, the other people around didn’t seem to have any particular doubts about our relationship, and they seemed to have a negative opinion about the big bomb that Natsu dropped,

so I ask about the reason with relief.

The reason why I’m questioning this is to figure out whether this is just Natsu’s whim or prank, or whether Natsu, with her unexpectedness,

caught some small characteristics of our group and actually completed the reasoning perfectly.

“Evidence…evidence…well then, listen to the reasoning of me, the great detective Edogawa Natsu!”

“You mean Yutori…”

Natsu, who was hit on the head, stood up proudly as if nothing had happened and reintroduced herself with a strange name, Edogawa Natsu, and began to talk about the evidence she had found.

In the process of introducing herself, Yoshimi, with a tired look, made a short jab and a complicated expression, which seemed like a dessert club.

“That brooch, gifts using wing feathers are simply used as gifts in recent times, but in the past, they were used as gifts for lovers to whisper their love.”

…Come to think of it, now all three Onee-chans were wearing the brooches I gave them…and they were wearing brooches that contained the meaning that Natsu just mentioned.

But a refutation to this came to mind quickly, and it would be a refutation that would easily come to everyone’s mind, not just me.

“Ahaha…yeah…I think that’s a reasoning with too many loopholes, don’t you think? Yeah?”

“Natsu…didn’t I…tell you…not to make things difficult for others…with speculation…? Huh…?”

Well…yeah…the first ones to speak up were Mika-onee-chan, who had a bitter expression, and Kazusa, who was approaching Natsu to punish her as always.

“Hahaha…Natsu-chan, aren’t you being too hasty…?”

“This!”

“No! There’s more evidence!”

Natsu, who avoided Kazusa’s punishment…the effect was insignificant…no, Natsu, who avoided Kazusa’s punishment,

answered Airi that there were several more, and it was content that could be said to be quite decisive if it was decisive.

“The three senpais in the back, all three are definitely from noble families. The two who are sitting quietly are different from drinking tea…

Mika-senpai is active, but even in the midst of that, she didn’t break the basic etiquette much. This is definitely something that has been ingrained in the body for a long time…ugh!”

“What do you know about etiquette! I! Really! Can’t live!”

“Wait! Ugh! Ghost cat Kaspar…ugh!”

“I! Told you! Not! To say! That!!!”

“Slow!”

As if she couldn’t watch any longer, Natsu, who received several blows mixed with Kazusa’s anger, avoided the last blow with a splendid motion, as if she had already seen the blow dozens or hundreds of times.

In the process, I catch Natsu trying to reveal a secret of Kazusa’s, and decide to try to change the subject.

I was the one who brought up this story, but I didn’t expect Natsu to come up with such a detailed and close-to-the-truth reasoning, so I try to subtly divert it.

“Ghost cat…?”

“Ah! Sora! Are you curious about the legend of the ghost cat…!”

Fortunately, Natsu seemed to be more interested in embarrassing Kazusa than in digging into the secrets of me and my Onee-chans.

“Sigh…?”

“Wow! Does the junior-chan have a dark past? Yeah! That would be interesting!”

“Mika-san…you know it’s not a good hobby…?”

“Ahaha☆ Nagi-chan~ It’s usually fun to dig up the dark history of people you’re close to, you know?”

“Weren’t you guys meeting for the first time today…? Mika?”

Kazusa didn’t see this positively…but what can I do, Mika-onee-chan is also interested in this story, or maybe she wants to put Natsu’s bomb behind her.

“But…first, let’s finish the previous story…”

“What…? The main story is later…? The villain who cuts off the manga at the highlight…!”

“There’s a fallacy, Sora! In the first place, that story was the story we were talking about!”

Damn…it seems that Natsu intends to reveal both stories.

Maybe because of the story of the ghost cat, Kazusa didn’t stop Natsu anymore…and if I use physical force here, it will be like admitting that the story is true, so I have no choice but to refute each one logically.

Thus…Natsu’s second bombing began.

“Ahaha…”

“Ahem…”

“…Is it real…”

“Didn’t you think this would happen? Sora?”

“Haha…”

Well…yeah…it was brilliantly exposed.

The evidence that Natsu put forward was the brooch, various basic things that naturally emanated from the bodies of the Onee-chans, and even some more advanced etiquette, and there were many others.

First of all, one more thing was discovered in the brooch…the feathers used in the brooch are my feathers, of course, the pattern and appearance can be made as similar as possible,

but they couldn’t be the same, and that proves that it’s not something made in a factory, but just a plated real feather.

It’s mostly not used for real feathers to be called a symbol of friendship that friends simply match…and I don’t have it.

I could pass it off as a reasoning that I’m not in a deep relationship with the Onee-chans yet…but we’ve already shown each other a couple of times that we’re not holding back, so we’ve been spectacularly exposed.

As a decisive blow…Mika-onee-chan was a little embarrassed that I called her senpai, and Nagisa-onee-chan and Seia-onee-chan’s words flowed smoothly as if they had planned it in advance for Airi’s question,

which also seems to have acted as evidence…

Fortunately, or should I say thankfully…the children of the dessert club didn’t have any prejudice about our relationship or see it badly.

“…Well…I’m denying it myself…but even the Sensei is in that state…?”

“Certainly…the Sensei has such an aspect…”

Kazusa says that even the Sensei is filming a harem with many students, and if you look back at history, it wasn’t that there weren’t any, so it seems that she doesn’t think it’s particularly strange.

Homosexuality is certainly rare…but it’s not like it’s legally impossible, and there was also talk about how we can stop them if they like each other…

In fact, on the day I first met Yumeka, when I came out of Yumeka’s house…that…they saw me and my Onee-chan cuddling.

“Ahaha…”

“You…saw that…ahem…”

“Wow…it’s real…”

At that point, it was a natural progression for both of our faces to turn red…and it became colorless that we had tried to hide it until now…so we decided to smooth it over by turning that awkwardness into our usual appearance.

“Since it seems to be meaningless already…I decided to preemptively occupy it, do you have any complaints? Mika?”

“Ah! Seia-chan, you’re sly!”

“Didn’t you say before that…the person who is quick is the owner of this kind of thing? Mika-san?”

Seia-onee-chan quickly digs into one corner of me, the inside of my wing, and occupies the seat, and Nagisa-onee-chan also occupies the seat on the opposite side.

“Ah…even Nagi-chan…sob…I might be a little sad…”

“Haha…but this way we can see each other face to face, right?”

“Ah…yeah…that’s right!”

A light word of comfort is given to Mika-onee-chan, whose voice is full of regret.

Well…this is the method I used on Onee-chan when I was younger, and Onee-chan at that time showed a different reaction than now, but this time it’s positive, so I can see that she likes it.

“Ahaha☆ But Kazusa-chan…you used to be a famous Sukeban?”

“Ugh…why is it that whenever that guy opens his mouth, that past is always revealed…ugh…please forget it if possible…”

“I see…the administrative rampage that happened around last year was her rampage…”

We change the target to Kazusa, whose secret has been revealed along with us.

When I first met her, I thought I had seen her somewhere…if she’s a famous Sukeban, I think someone might have shown me or something.

“Hmm…now even the high-ranking members of the Tea Party know the reputation of the ghost cat Kasparug…”

-Crack-

Ah, she fainted.

-Munch munch…-

“Yumeka…are you used to this situation…?”

-Gulp-

“…Yes, it’s now an everyday occurrence for Natsu-onee-chan to faint to Kazusa-onee-chan.”

Wow…even a child in elementary school is used to this everyday occurrence…I think I can roughly guess how much Natsu has troubled Kazusa in a not-so-long time.

By the way, before, I didn’t have any particular feelings…and even in my previous life, I didn’t have any special feelings for elementary school students, just that they were a little noisy…

no, the existence of children is a little special to me now.

Before the Eden Treaty, I was desperately…blindly trying to cling to something, and when I first met this child, I was captivated by a question that might be important to me, so I wouldn’t have felt this feeling…

Now I have thought it out, and even that question was resolved to some extent, although it ended with a disappointing result, so I could fully feel this feeling.

“Hmm…you could make this kind of expression too…?”

“Hot?!”

I realize that my expression has relaxed a little while staring at Yumeka, only after hearing Nagisa-onee-chan’s words.

It seems…I’m weak to children now…

“What, Nagisa, isn’t this side quite humane and also a new charm?”

“Yeah! I agree with Seia-chan this time!”

“That’s right…yes, it’s a little embarrassing, but to put it bluntly…it’s cute.”

“Ugh…”

As always…these three were eager to tease me…and if there was one thing that was a little different, it was a little new that the children of the dessert club were looking at me with a tired expression.

So…well…another eventful and…dizzying day passed.
