I Can Distinguish the Twin Sister - Chapter 27

“I am revived! “

　So it’s the next day after not only Yoshiki and Masashi but also Rin’ne and Yomi come to visit me.

　I left home with my mother to see her off, as I was completely healed and could return to school as soon as possible.

　Yoshiki and the other two joined me on the way, and we walked along our usual route to school.

　They told me that they were glad to hear that my cold was better, but the conversation naturally turned to Rin’ne and Yomi.

“I was really surprised, though. Did you do something after that? “

　Masashi asked me, and I shook my head.

“We just talked shortly. I didn’t want the fever to come back as it did with someone else, and more importantly, I didn’t want to risk transferring it to others.”

“…that word hurts my ears.”

　Yoshiki turned away when he heard my words.

　In his case, it was more a case of the fever coming back rather than passing it on to us, but considering that, I was relieved to hear that mine was fairly mild.

　Yomi is so worried about me after just one day’s rest… Of course, I didn’t want to worry not only her but also my friends, so I’m glad that it was light cold.

“And I don’t think we did anything weird. They are my dear friends.”

　Rin’ne and Yomi are mostly a mystery to the boys.

　The boys consider them to be the cream of the crop, and although they have received quite a few confessions of love, I can understand why they are not close to any of the boys.

　That’s why I can understand why others, including the two of them, might have some illusions about my befriending them… Still, I don’t want them to ask me what I’ve done too much.

” …Yes, you’re right. My bad.”

　Masashi apologized honestly.

　However, I don’t need him to take it so seriously, and there is a line that I can let him cross because we are friends, so on the contrary, I’m more upset than he is.

“You seemed to be in a serious mood. No need to be so serious, Masashi, but I felt bad about the way we tangled yesterday. “

“Don’t think too much about it, okay? “

　I’d say the atmosphere was serious… but maybe it was more serious than you think.

　I patted Masashi’s apologetic shoulder and told him that this time he should catch a cold, and he laughed and said why not.

“Oh, I ate the fruit after dinner. It was really good.”

“Right? I was very selective! “

　Right, it was excellent.

　By the way, I just heard that Rin’ne and Yomi also picked out some of the assorted fruits for me, so I’ll have to thank them when I get to school.

　After that, we headed straight to school.

　As soon as we entered the classroom, my eyes met Rin’ne’s, and she immediately came up to me.

“Good morning Akito-kun . I’m glad you’re feeling better.”

“Yeah, I’m fine. I’m sorry for worrying you.”

“No, no, Yomi was more worried than me. She’s going to the bathroom now, so when she come back――”

　Just then, Yomi-san came back.

　Like Rin’ne, she immediately approached me when her eyes met mine and asked me if I was all right, so I did a muscle pose to show that I was fine.

　For a moment, I thought about doing some more bending over, but I managed to hold myself back.

( It’s just stupid to do it in a classroom.)

　I’m really glad I didn’t do that here.

“I thought you were going to bend over. “

” …actually thought about it for a minute.”

“Fufu.”

　I’m not going to do it if you’re expecting me to.

　Then I exchange a few words with Rin’ne, but Yomi’s reticence is probably because she’s still worried about me.

　I don’t blame her for being concerned about me… But when I think about the last time, there was that day when I lost my position and pushed Yomi down.

“What’s wrong? Your face is red…”

“No…”

　Oh no, my face got a little hot remembering that.

　But that was with Yomi, but before that, there was the case that Rin’ne had touched her breast by herself.

　It’s embarrassing to think about it like this because I know they don’t care about it that much and are not conscious of it.

　I let out a sigh and put my hand on Yomi’s shoulder with a thump.

“Yomi, don’t worry too much about it.”

” …I’d like to think so, but I’m reflecting on what happened that day.”

“Reflecting? “

“Yeah. I should have gone right after showering… but it’s because I was having so much fun with Akito-kun that I put myself first.”

” …… “

　No, it’s my fault that I didn’t go there immediately.

　In the first place, I had no intention of leaving Yomi behind, and more than anything else, I was enjoying my time with her.

“Then it’s the same for me. I was so focused on spending time with Yomi that I completely neglected to shower to warm myself up. And… after that.”

“……”

　No, no, I didn’t have to say that!

　Yomi’s face turns red, and she turns her head down, perhaps remembering what happened then, and the atmosphere around her and me become indescribable.

　However, Yomi nodded her head in understanding when I said this.

“That’s right…anyway, it’s also not good for Akito-kun to be too concerned about it ――Yup! It’s okay now.”

“Ha-ha. I see.”

　That’s the end of the story.

　After that, I thanked her for the fruit, and my day at school started with the arrival of the homeroom teacher.

　The teacher says she’s glad to hear that I’m feeling better, and my other classmates, who are also good friends of mine, look at me kindly, and I’m really glad that I have good friends.

( But I still feel… sleepy in class.)

　Nothing has changed in that regard, though.

　I was a little bit sleepy from the first shot in the morning, but I still managed to hold on and made it to the lunch break.

　After eating my lunch box, which my mother made with lots of love, I went to the rooftop.

　I received a message from Yomi on my phone during lunch break, asking me to meet her on the rooftop for lunch.

“Oh, you’re here already.”

“Hey. I came right after lunch.”

　Yomi came running up to me and gave me the customary shoulder tap, and I returned the gesture, this time a little more gently.

　Yomi rolled her eyes for a moment and then smiled.

“I didn’t message you because I wanted to talk to you about something in particular. It’s just that… I was sad that I couldn’t see you on a day I normally would have.”

　Clutching me close, Yomi hugged me from the front.

　It was as if a cold that I had already gotten over had come back and attacked me again, and my body was almost burning up, but I managed to calm myself down.

　Yomi put her arm around my back as if to say she was glad I was over my cold and missed me.

“Can we stay like this for a while? “

” …alright.”

　She is my friend… she is my friend…!

　I wanted to think so, but I couldn’t stop myself from getting even more nervous. This situation made me feel a mixture of nervousness and peaceful emotions.

　Despite the situation, my arms naturally went behind Yomi’s back.

” …ehehe. This is so nice. I love it when you do this to me.”

　The smile that came to her face when she said that. ――made me think that this was the one I must protect, and my heart did not stop beating for a while.

* * *

　Painful……painful……painful……painful……painful…….

” …………… “

　Akito-kun and Yomi are hugging each other.

　They are so close, but I wonder why my heart hurts so much, even though it’s only in a different position than when Akito-kun hugged me last time…

“I don’t understand… What is this? “

　The more I try not to be aware of it, the more I think about it.

　I hate it when I think about it and wonder why it is not me who is in that place…

　It was so painful for me to see Akito-kun and Yomi getting along with each other that I put my hand on my left… chest, right at my heart.
