The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat - Chapter 11

Chapter 11: “If I’m Going to Get Married, I Want to do it with Kakeru”

“―I’m so tired…”

　After school was over, Mirei came home and lay down on the living room couch.

　Her skirt is up and her underwear is just barely visible, making it hard to look at her.

“Why don’t you go change and then get some rest?”

“I can’t. I don’t want to move.”

　Why is Mirei so tired?

　The incident that led to this occurred at the time of the group decision for the school camp.

“Those guys complain too much about what’s been decided…!”

“There are a lot of people who wanted to be in the same group with Mirei and Murakumo.”

　As expected, the fact that Mirei and Murakumo were in the same group was brought up during the group assignments, and a fight broke out in the class.

　The girls had been complaining about Murakumo, but now the boys who wanted to be in the same group with Mirei and Murakumo had joined the fray.

　In the end, there was even a proposal to draw lots, but Mirei and Murakumo’s charisma got them through.

　Incidentally, I chose a quiet person like Hanamaki-san for the remaining slot.

“Good job.”

　I pat Mirei’s head and thank her for her hard work.

　Mirei, who was always concerned about what others thought of her, didn’t back down at all, probably because she wanted to form a group with that many members.

　I think she did a good job.

“Nnn, Kakeru, sit here.”

　Mirei patted the sofa with her hand.

“No, I can’t sit there… Mirei’s head is there, okay?”

　Since Mirei is currently lying on her side, there is no place to sit.

　If I try to sit down, I will end up with Mirei’s head on my butt.

“It’s fine, hurry up. I’ll avoid you when you sit down.”

　Mirei was kind of rushing me, so I followed her instructions.

　I did avoid Mirei’s head when I sat down, but―.

“There we go.”

　I sat down and she put her head on my leg without hesitation.

“Mirei?”

“Fufu~n, lap pillow~♪”

　Apparently, Mirei wanted me to put her on my lap.

　She is such a spoiled girl.

“You are faithful to your desires, aren’t you?”

“I’ve worked hard, and I demand to be pampered.”

　Mirei says with a smug look on her face.

　I think this kind of thing is honestly cute.

“Yes, yes, here you go.”

“What’s up with this!? You should pat me more properly…!”

　When I lightly stroked her head, Mirei felt annoyed.

　I didn’t stroke her head in a casual way, but…

“Is this how you want me to do it?”

“Nn… yesyes.”

　When I gently stroked her head, Mirei loosened her cheeks in satisfaction.

　She’s really honest.

　I wonder how many students at school know that Mirei is such a spoiled girl.

　Well, I have never seen Mirei being so open and sweet at school, so I think most of the students probably don’t know about it.

　It was a little gratifying to know that I was the only one who knew this side of her.

“…………”

“―!?”

　I thought I felt some eyes on me, and when I looked at the door, I saw something that made me think I was having déjà vu.

　Yes, Mana was watching us through the door.

“Mana, what are you doing?”

“No, I was wondering if I might intrude you two, so I was looking for the right moment to come in.”

　Mana gives me a slightly grumpy jittery look as she comes into the living room.

　She’s been in a bad mood for the past few days.

“You shouldn’t have worried about it, just come in.”

“I’m a girl who can read the air. More importantly, Mirei-neesan.”

“What is it?”

　Mirei looked up at Mana curiously. Her head was still in my lap.

“I don’t think it’s good manners to lie on the couch in your uniform.”

“Eh~, it’s fine.”

“You’re a girl, so you should be a little more careful. Nii-san can see your underwear, you know?”

“If it’s Kakeru, then it’s fine.”

“Mirei-neesan…!”

　Mana, unusually, raises her voice against Mirei, who is very easy-going.

　For the meticulous Mana, Mirei’s behavior often goes unnoticed.

　Mirei, on the other hand, seems to have a bit of a hard time with Mana’s nagging.

　I think it can’t be helped because of her personality.

　Even I sometimes think Mana is a bit nagging.

　And I also don’t like it when Mirei puts herself in a position where you can almost see her underwear, so it’s a bit of both.

“Mou…”

“Mana is right this time.”

　Mirei puffed out her cheeks and I nudged her before she exploded in frustration.

　As she does so―.

“What are you doing in your uniform, too, Nii-san? You can’t do that kind of thing until after you change your clothes.”

　She fired back at me.

　Well, Mana was right, so I had no choice.

“I’m sorry, Mana.”

“No… I’ll go change my clothes, too.”

　I apologize, and Mana turns on her heel, perhaps having cooled down a bit.

　And so, she went back to her room first.

“Mana-chan is kind of like a mother, isn’t she?”

“She’s very firm. In fact, Mana does all the housework for us.”

　My parents have always worked together and come home late at night.

　Therefore, Mana always takes care of the housework.

　By the way, Mirei can’t do housework as well as I can.

　That is why we were not able to be mad at Mana.

“Mana-chan is going to be a great mother.”

“I hope she finds the right man.”

“I wonder if Kakeru will be angry if Mana-chan brings a boyfriend.”

　Will I get angry?

　Maybe if he’s someone Mana approves of, if he can study and exercise better than I can, and if he’s sincere and solid, I’ll easily approve of him.

“If he met the minimum standards required, I wouldn’t mind.”

“That minimum standard seems high― but oh well.”

　Mirei looked away from me, as if she had lost interest.

“I’m not sure if I’ll be getting married someday, or if Kakeru and I will too.”

“I don’t know about me, but Mirei will, won’t you?”

　If you’re as popular as Mirei, you won’t have any trouble finding someone to marry.

　I have no intention of getting married or even going out with anyone in the first place.

“Hmm~, I still don’t understand what it means to be in love, and if I had to get married, I’d want to do it with Kakeru. I like being with you, and you’re easy to be with.”

　Mirei probably doesn’t think too much about it.

　If it wasn’t me, they would have misunderstood her statement.

“I hope you will understand love soon.”

“Mou~, just because you know what you’re doing doesn’t mean you can afford to be complacent.”

“I didn’t mean it that way…”

　After this, Mana, who for some reason had come back after changing her clothes to quiet Mirei who had sulked, warned her again.
