Chapter 936 Unreasonable Girl

Chapter 936 Unreasonable Girl

Why do I have to accommodate an unreasonable girl like Setsuna? Well, on top of being Satsuki’s older simple, there’s a possibility that she could ruin everything for us. At least, it would be accidental as she had no idea about the actual dynamics of our complex relationships.

I can blame her and all that if it happens, but will it change anything?

No… That’s why as much as possible, I have to manage her in a way that she won’t be able to do that. Preventing something from happening was always better than waiting for that something to happen before doing some kind of damage control.

Besides, Setsuna wouldn’t be here all the time. She’d return to college and become too busy to even meddle with her little sister’s love life.

There’s a little question that would be left hanging though… Apart from trying to mess with me, is there another reason why she seemed hell-bent on having me pick them up? What’s the point of sending Sakuma as a sacrificial lamb then?

Well, that wasn’t answered. Or there’s no chance to ask that.

When I showed up at the school gates and went to where they were waiting, Setsuna went ahead and tried to strangle me using her slender arms.

I was late and I ignored her calls and messages. And that heightened her yearning to put me out of commission even though I technically didn’t have any obligation to cater to her whims.

Is she annoying? No doubt she is. She’s not my girlfriend, only my girlfriend’s sister. She doesn’t have any reason to be this annoying to me unless she hates me for her sister. However, that’s clearly not the case.

Oh, right. A possibility exists that this is her way of getting back at me. She possibly became aware that Sakuma’s recent actions always had my shadow behind them…

Uhh… if there’s something I did that warranted this kind of incomprehensible treatment from her, then that’s the only plausible reason.

In any case, I said ‘tried’. That means she failed to even make me kneel, much less be hurt from it.

In fact, because I didn’t feel anything from it, my perverted trait appeared, allowing me to somehow focus and feel the softness of her body as she tried her hardest to put me into a headlock. She’s plenty bountiful on that part but she’s keeping it too compressed just to look small that I started wondering if she could still breathe from it. She also has this sweet scent that couldn’t be masked by her perfume. And since she’s shorter than me, she had locked one of her legs on mine as her support from tiptoeing. Even though she’s wearing jeans, her elastic, plump thigh could be felt clearly.

In a way, if Satsuki got a boost on her height, Setsuna got it on her chest. But in the case of their plump, juicy thighs, they’re on par with each other.

Anyway, comparing her body build to Satsuki, she’s nowhere as strong as her. Moreover, her arms lacked the sufficient strength to press on my neck.

But to make her satisfied, I acted like it was having an effect, I struggled and tapped her arms to release me.

Once she did, the girl crossed her arms and smugly declared, “Good for you, I don’t want to come any later to watch Satsu-chan’s game.”

Following that, she went back to Sakuma, whose eyes were about to lodge off their sockets from what he witnessed, and hugged the guy’s arm before taking off in the direction of the gymnasium.

With this, it’s not wrong to assume that the unreasonable girl only waited here to get back at me. She also glanced at me with an elated expression.

Obviously, I kept up with my act. I dramatically grabbed my neck and coughed a few times as though she really managed to choke me and I was out of breath.

Due to that, the girl’s satisfaction rose to another level. Seeing how she even stuck her tongue out before happily skipping like a little kid who won an argument with someone older than her, I could only shake my head inwardly.

Well, as long as she’s satisfied. That would stop her from messing it up for me.

Looking at their departing backs, I was about to stop my act but then, someone rushed to my side with apparent concern.

“Uhm… I apologized on Setsuna’s behalf, Onoda-kun.”

Right. She’s also here… watching everything that happened. Not knowing that it was all just an act, Koizumi-san supported me. She then offered me the bottle of water she was holding before rubbing my back and helping me stand straight.

“You don’t have to apologize for her, Koizumi-san. And I’m not one to hold a petty grudge. I kept you waiting, after all. It’s also my fault.”

Since it would somehow lose the essence if I just revealed that I only acted, I continued. Taking the bottle and drinking from it, I then gratefully bowed to her.

Well, given that it’s already half-empty, she possibly already drank from it. But as someone who never fussed about indirect kisses, I simply gave the bottle back to her.

Perhaps thinking that I wouldn’t give it back to her, Koizumi-san stared at it for a good while before shyly taking it.

She then put it in her handbag, before continuing to support me as we chased after the two. I’d like to say that I’m already fine but… seeing the eagerness to help me written all over her face, I changed it, “Koizumi-san, you don’t need to trouble yourself like this. I think I can walk straight and not drag you down.”

“What are you saying? I’m aware of how painful her choke is. I had a lot of experience from it.”

I see. So, this is why she was this concerned. She really thought I got really hurt by it.

In any case, I planned to return to normal little by little. If we reached the gymnasium with Koizumi-san holding me like this and someone saw us, it would invite not just one or two misunderstandings. I mean, we’re as close as possible. The only thing left for us to look like a couple having a leisure walk was for me to also stretch my arm and hold her by her waist. Not that I’m planning to do it, but it should be tempting enough for anyone that’s not a wimp when it comes to being proactive.

Besides, Koizumi-san’s appearance today was simply dazzling. When it comes to fashion, she could rival some of those models appearing in a magazine. Wait, there’s a possibility that she’s really doing modeling. Nonetheless, she’d possibly be in a different category than Yua’s modeling gigs if that’s true.

Anyway, since we’re a distance away from the Setsuna and Sakuma, I started conversing with the girl.

“Is Setsuna-nee-san always that violent?”

“Not always. But she’s kind of a little wild when she’s having fun. You and Sakuma-kun are providing that for her… I think Sakuma-kun got it worse. He likes her, right?”

We’re ‘providers of her fun’, huh? How lonely can she be?

“It can’t be more obvious, can it?”

Koizumi-san giggled, “You’re right. But you see, Setsuna only thought of him as a little brother. As far as I know, she never expressed any interest in a guy. It’s not that she swung the other way but she’s avoiding it.”

Little brother, huh? Should I hold a funeral for Sakuma?

“I see. How long have you been friends with her? If it’s not intruding.”

“Ever since our second year in high school.”

“Huh? Wait, Koizumi-san, you’re also from this city?”

“Have I never told you about it? I’m also an alumnus of this school. I’m fairly popular, you know? If you find the older yearbooks in the Student Council Room, you’ll find me there.”

That’s a surprise. I never thought about that possibility. Uh. I guess it’s also because I wasn’t that interested in her back then. Besides, we only had one interaction and it’s too brief to even make a connection.

“I thought you’re from another city or prefecture. I mean, you stayed in their house.”

“Ah, that, huh? I’ll be alone in our house if I stay there. You see, my family has moved outside the country. I’m practically independent already. Are you amazed?” Koizumi-san raised her chin proudly, her lips stretched into a pleasant smile.

“Yep. You’re definitely amazing, Koizumi-san.” That’s honest praise from me.

To live independently, I can imagine how hard it is, especially if she’s still going to college.

Anyway, before we knew it, we were already at the gymnasium. Now, how can I survive this without them blurting out my relationship with Satsuki?

Tell them to keep quiet about it? That’s plausible but I’m worried about how the unreasonable girl will take it.
