- It was still a little bit of time left before the graduation ceremony. I left the lively classroom and strolled in the hallways.
- In the hallway the ruckus from each classroom could be faintly heard.
- The sound of shoes stepping on the lineleum floor truly can only be heard today.
- A special odor drifted through the school yard, when I've become an adult one day, I would still be able to remember it.
- .... when I was thinking about this being my last time here, sentimental feelings like that surfaced uncontrollably.
- At the time of the middle school graduation, I probably wasn't feeling that sentimental.
- At the time of elementary school graduation .... what was it like? I already couldn't remember it.
- From the windows the sun was shining in, with the look of springtime, and even though yesterday it was the same, it left a sence of reluctance to part.
- I slowly walked around this school yard I spent three years in.
- "....... oya, oya."
- Unwittingly I was standing before the door of the Game Research Club. Even though I visited it noticeably less often as of late, and only joined it in the third year, thus there shouldn't be anything worth remembering ---- why would that be, anyway.
- This place also contains many, many memories.
- [---- right, I like homos! I am completely rotten!]
- .... the first thing that I remembered was actually that! It indeed was a too shocking.
- Next
- [------- senpai]
- ".... hah"
- I couldn't help a self-ridiculing sound, honestly, what a guy I am.
- I reached out for the door.
- Even though I knew that at these times the door is locked, I still pulled at it with strength.
- Just like always...
- Kara
- "..... eh?"
- Why is this door open? ----- I didn't even have time to be surprised like that,
- "Ah, good morning ~ Kousaka-senpai."
- "Ya, Kousaka-kun."
- "Ou, brother! Didn't you arrive a little bit late!"
- One after the other greeted me.
- Makabe-kun, President, the other members... all were gathered there.
- "Ah, ah, ah... morning, Sena, Makabe-kun. Good morning ---- president"
- I still kept my opening-the-door stance and replied the greetings of the club members, then asked,
- "Why, why is everyone here?"
- "Could you please not ignore me!?"
- The one protesting with a tear in his eyes was Mikagami, who somehow wore our school uniform.
- "It isn't like I did not notice you~. Then let me ask tentatively, why is a non-member here? Don't you have school?"
- "The graduation ceremony of my school has already concluded yesterday. This is why I came over to congratulate the ones at the Game Research Club who have looked after me."
- "Huh ~ um~"
- The though process was right, the actions though a little bit odd. Mah, but for Mikagami, to get his hands on a school uniform is an easy thing.
- Ignoring Mikagami, Sena then also replied to my question.
- "As for me ---- I don't know why, but I just went towards the activities room. .... Then everybody was here...... hehe."
- "What.... so everybody was just like me."
- "Right. It seems like the people gathered here are all kind of similar."
- Sena and Makabe-kun looked at each other, smiling.
- He~ he~ their relationship is quite harmonious.
- "But ---- that you guys really ended up together."
- "Ahm... ahaha."
- Makabe-kun looked embarrassed, while Sena turned to one side and pouted.
- "What does that mean ~ this statement of yours."
- "No, nothing, but you see. I already thought that Makabe-kun, due to being the victim of Sena's wild imaginations, will never be able to develop romantic feelings."
- "Ahahahahaha....."
- Makabe-kun gave off a hallow laugh. Sena meanwhile poked his face with her finger and said
- "This is mutual! This guy looks nice on the surface, but in reality he is full of surprises and a gross otaku."
- He has no right to complain about me, that's what Sena meant.
- Mhm~ mhm~ the other guys in the Game Research Club nodded their heads in agreement.
- "Wait! Why is Mikagami also nodding!? Isn't it your fault, that looked like utterly shameless in front of the others!?"
- "Ah, ah.... right.... the Kaede-kun back then looked really fearsome~"
- In the past, Mikagami was entrusted by Makabe-kun to help with altering some figurines.
- Because Mikagami changed the big-breasted-Kiara figurine into flat-chested one without authorization, Makabe was very furious.
- [Hah? Hah! You cut it off? You actually cut off the biggest asset of that big-breasted Kiara figurine.....!? I will kill you fool who understands nothing! This aesthetic eye of yours has already rotted into a lolicon! I actually like boobs the most!]
- I remember that he even shouted out these kind of lines.
- Due to the moment of him being shocked by the destruction of his figurine, you think that you are on the same level? I'm stunned. (?)
- If one thinks of them as similar, then perhaps they are truly quite compatible.
- "Mah, no matter what, congratulations. ----- Good luck in your attempt to convice your aniki."
- "Yes! I will give it my best!"
- "Ho, good answer."
- "Can Kousaka-senpai also help convince my onii-chan"
- "Absolutely ~ not. I surely don't want to deal with an aniki whose imouto has found a boyfriend."
- ".... really, spoken in a real sense." (?)
- What do you care.
- "By the way, I heard something from Kirino-chan~"
- "Eh?"
- Sena whispered to me
- "Seems like siblings have become lovers."
- "Puh!"
- That girl really has told even Sena about it!
- No matter how to put it-----, it definitely can't be allowed to reach our parents.
- "Don't worry. I won't tell anybody."
- ".... that I can believe you. Speaking about it.... after hearing it, what's your opinion?"
- What Sena, who is an imouto with an aniki, thinks about me and Kirino's relationship ---- I'm quite interested in that.
- Sena answered very calmly,
- "Mhm.... if it's me and onii-chan ----- even if we drifted into that direction, it would be impossible."
- ".... I see."
- That's true.
- "But"
- Sena seems to have remembered something and shows a tough smile
- "If somebody told me something like a torrent, with a face full of happiness... neh --- it's up to you ---- it isn't something that is bad or so, then I would think about how to put him off.
- Sena and Makabe-kun looked at each other again, then she turned to me with a smile and said.
- "That's why you don't need to worry about us, Kousaka-senpai, good luck. What actions are truly the best, I don't know either .... I can't even say out a [congratulations].... but, I will cheer you on."
- "Ah, ah, thanks."
- Honestly. These words just now, how strongly did they really push me forward.
