I Can Distinguish the Twin Sister - Chapter 30

” …Geez, I just came all the way out here, but this guy Yoshiki… well, I can’t help it.”

　On holiday, Yoshiki wanted me to go bowling with him.

　For me, who basically spends my free time doing nothing on holidays, there is no reason to refuse to spend time with my friends.

　That’s why I went out to play with Yoshiki…

[ Sorry. My mom hurt her back… So, you know, things happened. ]

　I was already near the meeting place, and I was killing time at the bookstore because I thought he was a little late.

　Well, let’s not be too annoyed at him.

　If something happened to his family, it can’t be helped, and I’m a reasonably get along with his mother.

” Well… take good care of her.”

　I replied to Yoshiki and left the bookstore.

　Walking around the noisy holiday town in a daze…I had nothing special to do, and I thought I could just go home.

“Ah, Akito-kun.”

“….hm?.”

　Suddenly, a voice called out to me, and I turned my eyes quickly.

　I recognized her voice, but it was Rin’ne ――the moment I saw her, I felt as if my body temperature had risen instantly.

( …I felt my face heat up when I saw Rin’ne since that day.)

　That day when Rin’ne hugged me tightly, I felt something inside me change that day.

　I still see and talk with Yomi as well as Rin’ne at school, but when I am alone with Rin’ne, the atmosphere becomes awkward.

　The atmosphere is a bit awkward, but I guess I can still have a good time with Rin’ne because I feel a strange sweetness and sourness in the air.

“Good morning, Akito-kun.”

“Ah, Good morning Rin’ne “

” ……. “

” ……. “

　Oh, it’s that atmosphere again…

　Rin’ne is looking around as if she is searching for words, though there is no obvious change in her expression.

　It’s a far cry from anything I’ve seen from her before, and her restlessness is both unusual and cute at the same time.

( I have to take the lead here. As a man, don’t embarrass a girl! )

　I reprimanded myself and opened my mouth as if I was trying to act normal.

“It’s unusual… are you going out again today? “

“Oh, yes…. well, I have a lot of free time on my hands.”

“I see. Is Yomi on the bed? “

“…Ummm… well, she’s probably snoring and sleeping like a baby.”

　Rin’ne laughed, saying that snoring was an exaggeration.

　But it seems that my quick thinking or my suggestion was not a mistake, and since the topic was about Yomi, Rin’ne seemed to be somewhat back to her old mood.

　But ….what should I do from here…?

( …I am stupid. Nothing changed in the end. )

　I’m back to where I was before.

　However, human is a creature of learning… so I say what I had originally planned to do when Yoshiki and I met up.

“Hey, Rin’ne… now that we’re here, let’s do karaoke or something…”

　No, wait a minute.

　How about inviting a girl to karaoke in a closed room….? 　We’ve gotten to know each other well recently, but isn’t it too much to do karaoke just the two of us… it’s not the first time we’ve hung out alone together, though…

　I was going through a lot of conflicts in my mind when Rin’ne suddenly held my hand and said to me,

“Let’s go to karaoke! I’m pretty tone-deaf, but it’s fine! I want to go to karaoke with Akito-kun! “

“Wow, okay. Then let’s go! “

“Yes! “

　….somehow, we decided to go to karaoke.

　Rin’ne and I entered a nearby karaoke bar with a few words and were escorted to our room by a male waiter who glanced at her many times and admired Rin’ne, an event that was, in a sense, quite natural.

“Please take your time.”

“Thank you very much.”

　Rin’ne bowed politely to the waiter, and the waiter was embarrassed to see Rin’ne like that, stretching his nose.

　He was looking at Rin’ne so much that I thought he would have asked for her contact information if I wasn’t there, and I appealed to him with my eyes telling him to get going.

“Akito-kun ? “

“No, it’s nothing.”

　After the waiter leaves, I quickly think about what I’m going to sing.

　…then Rin’ne raised her voice. She seemed surprised.

“What’s wrong? “

“Well… there’s this thing tucked under a cup…”

“…that clerk.”

　It was a piece of paper with contact information on it.

　Basically, drinks are supposed to be brought to customers after they enter a room, but I thought it was strange that drinks were prepared and the waiter took the trouble to hold them, but he is a very clever guy…

“It’s his Phone number and ID for the contact app.”

“You can throw it out if you want to.”

“Of course. I don’t need it.”

　Rin’ne not only rips it in half but crumples it up with both hands before throwing it in the trash.

　Her relentlessness is so refreshing that it makes me feel good to see it.

　Well, let’s decide on a song then, Rin’ne mutters again in a small voice but in a volume that I can hear.

“…I’ve never been in a place like this with a man before. It makes me a little nervous.”

” ……….. “

　Stop it, you’re also making me nervous!

　I try hard not to show it on my face as I try to choose a song, but Rin’ne stares at me, holding a cup with both hands and putting it in her mouth without drinking.

　I think it’s a little cute how she does that… Oh god. What is this indescribably sweet atmosphere!

” …… “

　No, I’m going to go to the bathroom and calm down.

　I put down my Denmoku and tried to stand up, but for some reason, I suddenly lost strength from my feet, and my body posture collapsed here.

　This is not a dizzy spell or anything like that, but something without any particular reason.
(Denmoku, something like remote control to choose songs)

“Oh, careful! “

　Rin’ne, who had been trying to help me, reaches out her hand to me.

　And… I don’t know how it happened, but Rin’ne also let out a cute scream and fell down, and I’m sure if there was someone in the room, he would have made a crack about whether we were making a gag or not.

” ……ugh “

” ……ah “

　My body reacts instantly when I see that she is about to fall, and in an instant, I regain my footing and extend my arm to Rin’ne.

　I hug her with my arms around her waist, and her chest shoots into my face. I was served a t*tty sandwich in the privacy of this karaoke room.

” …sorry.”

“I-it’s fine…”

　We quickly pulled apart, but our faces were so red that we couldn’t …bear to see each other’s faces.
