The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat - Chapter 17
Chapter 17: “The School’s Idol is Like a Watchdog”
Translator: AJ1703
I was told that we were going to walk in the mountains, and after changing my clothes, I was alone looking at the mountains.
I had been here in elementary school and middle school, which meant that I had many memories.
That person, who is not here anymore, was laughing next to me when I came to the school camp when I was in the first year of middle school…
“What are you staring at?”
“Got a problem, you traitor?”
“Ugh, I’m sorry about earlier…”
I was able to do some damage when I responded with a salty smile to Kazuki, who was smiling at me.
Since he had betrayed his friend, he deserved at least this much retribution.
“Ka~keru!”
“Ughh…!”
As I was doing so, I was energetically embraced from behind.
Or rather, it was a lunge…!
“Mi-Mirei, what the heck, all of a sudden…!”
“Ahaha, sorry, sorry~. I got carried away.”
Mirei made a silly and cute “tee-hee”.
It seems that she is getting excited.
Perhaps it was because we were going to do some athletic activities in the mountains.
“Could you stop hugging me so suddenly?”
“Ehh~, why not?”
When I warned her, she puffed out her cheeks in frustration.
She was still childish as ever.
“Because you’d startle me.”
“Buh, Kakeru’s a cheapskate…!”
“Don’t sulk…”
Mirei looked at me with a pout, and I couldn’t help but feel a headache.
But her arms are hugging me tightly, and she doesn’t seem to want to leave me.
…Hmm, it suddenly feels hot…?
“You guys flirt with each other without regard to what’s going on around you, don’t you?”
“Murakumo… if you see this as flirting, then there’s something wrong with your eyes.”
I gave a blank stare to Murakumo, who approached us happily.
Or rather, the girls are surrounding Murakumo, but please don’t approach us with all those girls trailing along with you.
“No matter how you look at it, you’re flirting, no? Right, guys?”
“Yeah, yeah, Mirei-chan’s cute.”
“She’s all over Kagurazaka-kun, isn’t she? I don’t know what’s so good about him.”
Was the last part necessary?
It wasn’t necessary, right?
“…………”
But it was Mirei who was the first to react to such a mocking remark.
With a sullen expression on her face, she looked at the gal as if she wanted to say something.
“Hic…!”
“Y-You idiot…! You can’t talk bad about Kagurazaka-kun in front of Mirei-chan…!”
“I-I’m sorry, Mirei-chan…! We’re leaving now…!”
“Ah, wait…!”
The girls ran away from Mirei.
She’s like a watchdog, this girl.
“Hmmm?”
“Murakumo is being Murakumo, so what’s that difficult look on your face as you ponder?”
I asked as Murakumo put her hand on her chin and tilted her head.
“I’m not sure what’s going on anymore here~”.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing, I am just thinking to myself. I think it’s time for everyone to finish getting changed, and then meet up with the others.”
Murakumo changed the subject deceptively.
But she was right, and soon the homeroom teacher would call for lineups.
“Come on, it’s our first group activity. Aren’t you looking forward to it?”
“…Don’t do anything weird, okay?”
“That’s strange, have I ever done anything weird before?”
Certainly, I don’t recall Murakumo doing anything unusual…
She’s a surprisingly sensible person, too, except that her behavior is strange or suspicious.
“So, how long are you sticking around for, Mirei?”
I look at Mirei, who is still stuck to me.
“Can we go up the mountain like this?”
“Of course not… It’s too dangerous.”
“Mou~…”
I gently let go of Mirei, who was clinging to me tightly with her cheeks puffed out.

Translator’s Afterword:
Everyone keeps referring to some person, I presume she’s dead with how the MC talked about her early on in this chapter. I haven’t read anything past where my translations are so I have no clue at all but that’s just my speculation. Any spoilers in the comments would be put in the trash or left in pending section.
