I Can Distinguish the Twin Sister - Chapter 39

There is nothing better than studying for fun

Everyone has moments when they let their guard down… times when they want to do something a little bold.

Of course, even if they don’t think of actually doing it, when driven by curiosity, anyone would be tempted to try it——and Yomi was precisely that in this situation.

“…The nervousness is gone, but it still gives me butterflies.”

Akito went to the restroom, leaving Yomi alone in the room.

But being alone in a boy’s room still made her heart race.

In all honesty, the only boy from her age whose house she had visited was Akito… and the only bedroom she had entered was Akito’s too… All of Yomi’s first experiences were thanks to Akito.

(…Ah, Akito-kun’s bed.)

No-no, I won’t rudely point out that it was set up there from the beginning.

Yomi, locking onto what must be Akito’s frequently-used bed, quietly approaches and first peers at the wrinkles on the bed.

“……….”

This is where Akito always sleeps… It makes her heart race.

Seeing the signs of wear and use… It makes her heart race.

A faint masculine scent lingers… It makes her heart race.

“…Wait, I sound like a pervert!”

Staring intently at someone’s bed and breathing heavily makes her seem like nothing but a pervert, so Yomi takes a deep breath to calm herself.

Once the heat in her body has completely subsided, she turns her gaze to the pillow.

She looks around to confirm that no one is watching, and then she embraces Akito’s pillow.

“…I don’t really understand… I don’t really understand, but I don’t feel bad at all doing this.”

Daringly burying her face in the pillow, the scent of Akito tickles her nostrils.

The current Yomi is definitely not her usual self; her guard is completely down…

That’s why she didn’t even notice someone approaching from the slightly opened door.

“Yomi, my mom’s back and wants to…huh?”

“Ah…”

” ? ? ? ”

Which means in her unguarded moment, Yomi was caught in a compromising and embarrassing situation… by none other than Akito’s mother.

When I returned to the room with my mother, there was Yomi embracing a pillow… No, let’s not think any further.

Let’s forget how she turned beet red, looked like she was about to jump out of the window, and even pleaded tearfully to be put out of her misery.

“Yomi-chan… Yomi-chan, huh? Such a cute and beautiful girl!”

“Oh, thank you!”

“I see. So Akito is friends with such a girl… Ah! This is the girl you met a long time ago!”

Well, there were various things that happened, but my mom clearly liked Yomi.

Just a while ago, Yomi had teary eyes, but now she’s happily chatting with my mom.

It seems we don’t need to worry about her like we did earlier.

(I always thought this would come, but it’s a strange feeling.)

The girls I had known in the past… Today, there’s only Yomi, but seeing her getting along with my mom makes me feel somewhat emotional.

Naturally, my mom, like me, doesn’t remember the past, and she didn’t recognize Yomi even when looking at her… Still, it’s clear that my mom really took a liking to Yomi.

(If Rin’ne were here… I wonder how things would be…)

It’s my mom, who’s making a big fuss about Yomi being cute and lovely.

If Rin’ne, who looks exactly the same, were here, she would probably go even more wild and adore the two of them.

“At this rate, I’m looking forward to when my mom sees Rin’ne standing next to Yomi for real.”

“They’re identical sisters, right? Having such beautiful girls standing side by side…and the fact that Akito is getting along with girls like them… I’m jealous!”

“Why are you jealous…”

“…fufu ♪”

Yomi covered her mouth and laughed as she listened to my mom and me.

“…You really do smile beautifully… And you’re in high school, right?”

“Hey, Mom. Your wording is a bit weird.”

Don’t talk about Yomi’s chest like that.

I lightly nudged my mom’s shoulder to stop her, but Yomi didn’t seem bothered by it at all.

In fact, she just kept on smiling with a sense of enjoyment.

“…Yomi, it’s getting kind of late.”

“Huh?!”

Since my mom came back a little past five originally, and considering how much we lost track of time in our enjoyment, it’s natural that it’s getting a bit late.

Yomi looked at the clock and stood up suddenly.

I also stood up to see her off.

“It’s a pity… I wish you could come next time when I’m around.”

“Is that okay!?”

“Of course! And… I’d love to see your older Onē-chan too!”

“Fufu, if Akito-kun is okay with it, I’ll definitely bring her next time!”

At that moment, my mother shot me a sharp glance.

It’s my mother’s message and order telling me to definitely bring her… I get it, you don’t have to tell me, I’ll bring her!!

“Shall we get going, Yomi?”

“Yes, thank you for having me!”

From the time we left my house until we arrived at her place, Yomi seemed to be in a good mood.

Whether talking about studying with me or about my mother, just listening to her speak with a constant smile made me feel overwhelmingly happy.

“…Hey, Akito-kun.”

“Hmm?”

“Today was fun. Even though it was just studying, being with you was… truly enjoyable.”

“I’m glad to hear that. I had fun too.”

I was deeply engrossed in studying, and though it was just a short time, it was really productive.

“I’ll ask Aneki about the parts I’m curious about tonight… Since we’re taking the time to study like this, let’s both work hard to achieve good results.”

“Sure. I really don’t want to fail and have to retake anything.”

“Agreed. Just thinking about it seems bothersome and annoying.”

Both of us chuckled at that shared sentiment, waved, and parted ways.

After seeing Yomi enter her house, I turned to walk away – but my steps were immediately halted.

“… Rin’ne?”

“…….”

Rin’ne, in her school uniform, was standing there, staring at me.
