I Can Distinguish the Twin Sister - Chapter 2

“….yawns ”

It was the next day.

I thought that maybe the Yomi-san I saw was not a dream, but my vivid memory proved it to be a lie.

So here I am, staring at the sisters absentmindedly.

“…They really look like each other. But I still can somehow recognize them.”

I came to school earlier than usual today, but the sisters were even earlier than me.

When I entered the classroom, Yomi-san glanced at me, but that was all, and of course, her sister Rin’ne-san did not look at me.

I sit still and look at the sisters surrounded by many friends, but the way they smile and talk to each other doesn’t look like it was an act.

[ I know we look alike! But you should at least check which one it is first! I know I’m not interested in going out with him at all, so I told him no instead… But, ahh, how annoying! I can’t believe you’re confusing me with that kind of older sister !!! ]

I can’t get those words out of my head.

Rin’ne-san is the type of person who basically uses honorifics in conversation, and I know Yomi-san has a softer tone even if she doesn’t use honorifics…. so I couldn’t believe the way she spoke.

“Hey, what are you looking at?”

“Whoa, Akito? You sure blatantly stare at those two, don’t you?”

“Shut up….”

I guess I shouldn’t have been looking at them too long, because I felt a hand on my shoulder from behind right now.

I turn around and see two of my friends grinning at me… I mean, I know why. I know you guys are always saying how beautiful they are and so on.

I borrow a chair from nearby, and they sit down beside me.

“There are some differences, like their hairstyles and the ribbons they wear, but they still look so much alike that even we could mistake them… but many men’s desires are so sinful that they want to be approached by two beautiful sisters with such similar faces. I guess that’s why.”

Yoshiki Tachibana fixed his glasses position and said, a guy who loves anime and manga.

“But if that actually happens, we’ll live happily ever after, you know?　It’s hard to tell which is which, but… it’s okay to dream about it.”

Masashi Murakami, a regular soccer team member, laughed at what he imagined.

However, when I hear such stories, I feel that they don’t understand either.

Of course, not everyone mistake them, but friends of the same sex who have been with them for a certain length of time seem to be able to identify them to some extent, but even so, it seems they are not perfect.

“So? Are you thinking of confessing your feelings too?”

“No, I’m not. I haven’t even talked to them that much.”

Let’s put yesterday aside for the moment… but even if I could talk to her, it’s not like I’d confess to her.

“….but I think it’s not bad as a guy to date someone like them.”

“I know, right?”

“Of course.”

As a man, I can’t help but imagine it, even if it’s only a fantasy.

I have the same desire to spend my once-in-a-lifetime high school life with my girlfriend, and I would be very happy if I could have a relationship with beautiful women like them.

Besides, if I could have such a relationship with those two girls which is absolutely impossible situation, I would be very happy, as Masashi said.

“Well, there’s no connection between us, so there’s no point in getting our hopes up.”

I said and they nodded in agreement.

There were only two minutes before the morning homeroom was to start, and Yoshiki and Masashi were having this exchange”

“By the way, which one do you think is the older sister? I think the one on the left is the elder sister! ”

“I think it’s the one on the right! ”

I giggled, naturally, he looked at me as if he was asking me what I thought, so I answered without thinking.

“I guess the one on the right is the older sister and the one on the left is her younger sister.”

I said confidently.

There was no way for either of us to confirm this answer, but I was confident that I would never make a mistake.

Now, the answer to this question came in a surprising way.

“Hey Rin’ne~! Tell me the solution of this problem!”

One of her friends jumped on Rin’ne-san.

It seems that I was not mistaken, since they were treating each other as they were, the friend jumped to the right side… the side I told them was the older sister.

“Hey, come on, you’re right,”

“How did you know? ”

“…I just, kind of knew somehow.”

Well, no matter how much I tell them I know the difference, they won’t believe me.

I don’t know how I can recognize the difference between them… no, I can’t tell the difference, but I don’t know why I can recognize them.

( Well, I’m just an ordinary guy, so I’m sure they’ll think I’m weird when they find out..)

I smiled at the thought that it would probably happen, but I felt a little sad and depressed.

Then, my homeroom teacher Kiritani-sensei came in for the morning assembly, and we spent our class time one by one from there.

Ah, yes, the quiz result was quite satisfactory, thanks to the fact that I went back to pick up the question booklet yesterday.

And before I knew it, it was lunchtime.

After lunch with Yoshiki and Masashi, I head to the rooftop―I do this sometimes when I want to relax and look at the distant view from the rooftop.

“…Uh? ”

Well, that’s how I approached the rooftop.

I thought I heard voices outside at the entrance, and looked out the door to see a scene reminiscent of yesterday.

“Yomi Aragaki, I like you, will you go out with me? Please go out with me!”

“I’m sorry. I’m not going out with anyone right now.”

With that, Rin’ne-san, no, it’s Yomi-san… bowed her head.

The boy who was rejected did not try to persist, and ran toward me after saying he understood immediately, and I instantly hid behind the door to save myself.

“…why are you confessing without checking which one it is?”

Well, there is a possibility that I was wrong.

I thought so, but it seems I was not wrong.

“She said she wanted to see Aragaki-san, and she actually mentioned our last name here, so you don’t know, do you? Well, I knew what my sister’s answer anyway, so I said no, I guess there’s no problem.”

I knew she was not Yomi-san.

But I see… surely the boys who call them up say “I’m looking for Aragaki-san”, but they don’t call her by their first name.

I wonder about their confession since they didn’t confirm it, but maybe they think it doesn’t matter if they get a nod from one of the girls.

“I’m mistaken for Yomi… hehe, it’s only natural because we look alike. I wouldn’t say that I don’t like to be mistaken for my little sister, but it does make me a little cautious about even the slightest contact with men.”

” ………. ”

…I’d better stop eavesdropping, I thought, and left the place.

Rin’ne-san’s words definitely showed some kind of affection toward Yomi-san, and I think she really loves Yomi-san.

But that is why Yomi-san’s words left a strong impression on me.

“….doesn’t look like they don’t get along. I saw her in the classroom and she treated her sister normally…. I don’t understand women. ”

“What don’t you understand? ”

” ! ? ”

I was so surprised.

I was still on my way down the stairs when I stepped off the staircase, and I slipped down to the landing, losing my position.

I fell off, but luckily I landed well and didn’t get hurt.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Y-yes…”

It was Rin’ne-san who came down in a hurry as if she cared about me.

It is true that I could have met her if she was coming down, but I didn’t feel any sign of her at all until she called out to me from behind…

“I saw you on the way down. I guess you were thinking about something, but… more importantly, are you sure you’re not hurt or something? ”

Normally she would have asked me why I was here.

But seeing her concern with the corners of her eyes lowered, I feel very sorry for eavesdropping, even if it was by accident.

But… it made me feel a little subtle that I had a chance to talk to her in this way.
