The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat - Chapter 27

Chapter 27: “It’s Not Fair”

Translator: AJ1703

“―It’s not fair.”

　The next day, as I was washing my face at the sink, Mirei, her cheeks puffed out, hugged me from behind.

“What are you saying? Or rather, stop hugging me.”

“Last night, you went to see the moon with Murakumo-san, didn’t you? I wanted to go, too.”

　Apparently, one of the girls had leaked this to Mirei.

　Well, if there were that many girls, someone would have said something.

　It was late when Murakumo and I got back to our room.

　Or rather, since we didn’t tell the girls that we were going to see the moon, Murakumo must have told the girls after she returned to her room?

　Well, maybe it’s better than being suspected… but it would have caused unnecessary misunderstandings.

“You were asleep.”

“I would have woken up if you had told me to wake up…!”

“No, you wouldn’t…”

　In the morning, but at night, when Mirei goes to sleep, she doesn’t wake up easily.

　She may be constitutionally incapable of staying awake unless she gets a certain amount of sleep.

　Incidentally, Mirei often expressed this selfishness at New Year’s Eve, but she never stayed awake.

“Today, we’ll watch, so…!”

“Either way, isn’t there a campfire tonight?”

　And later, there was also a test of courage?

　I heard it’s optional for that one.

　It’s a hassle, and Mirei is not good with ghosts, so she won’t bother to participate.

“Ahaha, you seem to be having a hard time.”

　While I was dealing with a grumpy Mirei, Murakumo approached me, laughing happily.

　Behind her, the girls, clad in some kind of grudge-like atmosphere, glared at me.

　They must be jealous because I was alone with Murakumo and gazing at the moon.

　D@mn, it’s a nuisance to be in the company of a popular person.

“Mirei, since she is the source of the problem, you can complain to her.”

　I decided to have Murakumo change the target to Mirei, because if I continued to deal with Mirei, even the boys would find out about what happened last night.

　The rest could be handled in the room.

　That’s what I thought but―.

“I’m mad that Kakeru didn’t wake me up…!”

　Apparently, I was the one Mirei wanted to complain about.

　I guess she feels like, “Why didn’t you invite me?”.

“I was about to go back to my room when suddenly Murakumo said she wanted to see the moon. So I didn’t bother going back to the room.”

“…………”

　Mirei, probably convinced by this explanation, became silent, though she seemed dissatisfied.

　She seemed to understand that there was no way I would go through all that trouble.

“Anyway, we can see the moon at the campfire tonight, okay?”

“…I’ll watch it with you.”

“Okay, okay.”

　I patted Mirei’s head and made her relax.

　In any case, as long as we’re temporarily dating, I’m sure we’ll be watching the campfire next to each other.

　I hear there’s going to be folk dancing, and I’ll be there beside Mirei.

“Flirting in the morning…”

“Cheating man…”

“That’s a misunderstanding, please don’t say that.”

　The girls kind of looked at me with white eyes and said weird things, so I denied them with a smile.

　If they were to start with Mirei and then Murakumo as well, it would be a big deal.

　That would make enemies of every boy and girl in the school year.

“Don’t worry, Kakeru-kun and I will never develop romantic feelings for each other.”

“If Yui-san says so…”

　Murakumo, as expected, does not seem to be in a position to make a bad joke here.

　I’m sure the girls don’t believe me, but they believe their beloved Murakumo’s words.

　I was not convinced, but it was better than making a scene, so I went back to my room without saying anything.

“Kakeru, we have a promise, okay?”

　I was with Mirei, who had somehow followed me.
