The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat - Chapter 2
Chapter 2: “Why is my Little Sister Getting Impatient?”
Translator: AJ1703
“―Don’t try to put weird ideas in Mirei’s head, okay?”
After Mirei and I became fake lovers, I went home and visited my sister’s room.
She is one year younger than me and is in the 3rd year of middle school this year.
“I was only responding to Mirei-neesan’s expectations because she had asked me for advice. I thought that even Nii-san, who is a pain in the ass, would cooperate with me for Mirei-neesan’s sake.”
Mana is a bit odd in that she speaks in honorifics even to her family members, but she is very gentle and kind.
―It was supposed to be that way, but she is a little sister who is sometimes harsh towards her brother.
Her hair was black like mine, and she let it grow long and straight down.
Her face is similar to Mirei’s, partly because they are cousins.
The only difference is that Mirei’s eyes are blue, while Mana’s are brown like mine.
However, she is still a beautiful girl.
I have seen her get confessed at school more times than I can count on both hands and feet.
So I could understand why Mirei had consulted Mana―.
“You should have given her better advice than that…”
“Mirei-neesan seems to be in trouble for a long time, too, and I think a fake boyfriend is a good move, don’t you? Fortunately, the fact that Nii-san and Mirei are cousins is kept a secret at school.”
Mirei has been popular since she first entered the school.
If it was discovered that we were cousins, it was obvious that strange men would try to get close to her.
For this reason, we went to the trouble of leaving the house separately when we went to school― the boyfriend role would be more of a hassle than if it was discovered that we were cousins.
I was sure that the boys would have treated me favorably when we were cousins, but when we became lovers, I felt that they would be jealous of me and treat me coldly.
“That’s right, don’t blame Mana-chan. I’m the one who asked for her help.”
Mirei, who had come home, appeared immediately, as if she knew I had gone to Mana’s room.
“You don’t blame her, do you?”
“That’s right, Nii-san can’t blame his pretty little sister. It’s just a warning and a complaint.”
Mana smiles smugly, but it’s hard to deny it because it’s true.
“As always, you’re a siscon~.”
“That’s not true.”
Just because I don’t blame her, it doesn’t mean that I’m pouring all my heart and soul into Mana.
I am just pampering her.
After all, Mana is a very good girl.
“By the way, Nii-san accepted it, didn’t he?”
“Yes, thanks to Mana-chan!”
Mana tilts her head cutely, while Mirei gives a big smile.
Well, it seems that the boys were following her around, so I had no choice but to cooperate with them at least this much.
“I guess Nii-san should be thankful to Ojii-san and the others, right?”
“Why?”
“Because he has a girlfriend now that Ojii-san has been transferred overseas for work.”
“No, I think you’re breaking the story way too much…”
Mirei came to live with us because her uncle was to be transferred overseas for work.
Unlike Ojii-san and Obaa-san, Mirei does not speak English.
Therefore, Mirei wanted to live in my house instead of going abroad, and this is what seems to have happened.
Nothing to do with Ojii-san and Jii-san having a big fight, but they are not on bad terms with my dad, so the conversation went smoothly.
…Well, only Ojii-san seemed to send his daughter off crying.
He still calls Mirei’s phone every day.
I guess what Mana meant to say is that Mirei ended up living here because of Ojii-san’s overseas assignment, and as a result, she became my girlfriend.
Well, as a fake though.
“Just because she’s my girlfriend doesn’t mean anything, though, because it’s a fake arrangement.”
“I said I was fine with being your real girlfriend, but it was Kakeru who refused.”
“Eh?”
Mana looks up at me in confusion in response to Mirei’s statement.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, it’s just… I’ve never heard about being fake…”
It seems that Mirei was only talking to Mana as a fake boyfriend.
Well, she just responded to my words on that moment…
“Does Mirei-neesan like Nii-san?”
Mana looks at Mirei with a puzzled look, as if concerned.
“Hm? Because we were the best of friends in grade school, right? I mean, if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have asked him to be my boyfriend, would I?”
Mirei then tilts her head slightly with a skeptical expression.
No, that’s not it…
What Mana wants to hear is that you won’t like that one…
“As my cousin, you mean, right?”
Before Mana makes a strange mistake, I immediately follow up.
We live together, and if she misunderstands me, it will be troublesome later.
“Yes, yes, that’s right?”
Mirei had this look of ‘Is there more to it than that?’ while nodding.
As one would expect from Mirei, she is the only one who says she doesn’t know what love is.
“I see, so that’s what you mean… Mirei-neesan, please don’t say confusing things.”
“Did I say anything confusing, though?”
“Thanks to you, I almost made a mistake and got impatient.”
“No, why would Mana be impatient?”
She tilt her head to Mana, who is patting her chest in relief.
And then―.
“N-No, it’s just, umm…! I was worried that Nii-san will turn into a beast or something, or that I won’t be able to go to their room easily, or something like that…!”
Mana was flustered, waving her hands in a waddling motion, her face bright red in some sort of panic.
She’s crazy in the head sometimes, this little sister of mine.
“What in the world do you think of your own brother…?”
“Kakeru must be showing Mana-chan all kinds of weird stuff, huh?”
Mirei chuckles as Mana says something ridiculous.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with me though…
“Now that’s out of the way, it’s been so hot and I’m sweating so much I need a bath, Mana-chan, do you want to join me?”
“Fueh?”
Mana’s face turns red and she is surprised when Mirei suddenly pulls her hand away.
At her age, it might be embarrassing for even the same gender to enter the bath together.
Mana, however, is taken in by a smiling Mirei.
…Or rather, what about their change of clothes?
