Chapter 9: “Apparently, I’m Protecting My Stepsister…”

　By the by. [TLN: yes, this is intentional.]

　It was Sunday afternoon.

“Ryouta-kun, can you come downstairs for a minute?”

　As I was reading a light novel in my room, I was called by Miyuki-san.

　When I went downstairs, I found Miyuki-san and a beautiful girl who looked like an idol…

“How is it? I got it yesterday from my friend’s clothes shop…”

“Eh? A-Akira…?”

“Nnn…”

　The idol was Akira.

　She was wearing a white blouse with a wide neckline that showed off her collarbone and a black skirt with suspenders that was shorter than knee-length.

　She was even wearing makeup, though it was only faintly visible.

　What in the world is this…?

“Ufufu, how is it? Isn’t she cute? I did a little makeup on top of that.”

“Eh, oh, yeah…”

　I was so taken by her beauty that I couldn’t stop staring at her. It was hard to come up with the next words.

　Akira is waiting for me to say something, looking very shy, as if it was Akira’s first time to dress up like this.

“Um, it’s really, err…”

“Nnn… It doesn’t suit me, does it…?”

“No, I think it looks great…”

　That was the best I could manage to muster up.

　It’s not possible to describe it in words such as cute, beautiful, dainty, and neat… I think it’s best described as a feeling of being shot in the chest.

　I know it myself.

　I’m blushing up to my ears right now.

“I-Is that so…?”

“Y-Yeah…”

“Ara ara~, you two are like a couple going on their first date.”

“”Wha──!?””

　Miyuki-san said something so outrageous that Akira and I almost fainted in agony.
