Chapter 1-3

 

   By the time practice was over, it was already night.

   The girls were not satisfied after playing one song so they added some more, and before we knew it, it became nighttime.

   And for some reason, Kana-neechan and the others came to my room after having dinner at my house.

 

“I’ve never been treated to dinner at a boy’s house before.”

“That’s right. Usually, we bring our own dinner to Kana-chan’s house, so we have never experienced this before.”

“Now that you mentioned it, I also brought sandwiches and stuff, thinking that would be my dinner today, but…seems like it was pointless, huh?”

“You can just eat it later, right? Ratherーー”

“Yeah, ratherーー”

“Ratherーー”

 

   Kana-neechan and the others looked at me.

 

“…Seeing that everyone came to my room, does that mean you still have something you need from me?”

 

   I thought they were going to split up right after practice, so I frankly asked what they needed since they all came to my room instead.

   Misa-san then came closer to me.

 

“Yeah, we came here because we have business with you.”

“Yep, we could only ask this to you.”

“What kind of business?”

 

   This is probably not about music.

   It’s about something else.

   That’s what I felt but it was too late to back away since they were already in my room.

   Misa then took my hand in hers,

 

“Hey, you. Won’t you go out with me?”

 

   And asked so.

 

“Eh?”

 

   I was stunned by her sudden confession.

   It wasn’t just me.

   Kana-neechan and the girl with semi-long hair were also dumbfounded when they heard Misa.

   Nao, who was near her, also opened her mouth in surprise.

 

“Isn’t that too direct? I don’t think you can say that when you don’t even know what kind of person he is yet.”

“Eh~…isn’t it fine? We go to a girls’ school so it’s not that often I get to hang out with boys. Not only is he pretty good on the bass guitar, he also has a nice face….is it no good?”

“No! Of course not! Otouto-kun is not Misa’s toy.”

 

   Kana-neechan argued.

 

“Eeeh~ Even though I went through the trouble of finally finding a nice guy~”

 

   “A nice guy”, she said….

   I wonder what the criteria was that makes me seem that way?

   As soon as I showed off my bass skills, this is what happened.

   Even though she was looking at me with a doubtful expression before….

   I don’t really understand girls since they have different tastes, to each their own.

 

“Anyway, don’t try to seduce Otouto-kun!”

 

   “Seduce”….

   Can you even say something like that in front of me, Kana-neechan…?

   I think you are also trying to seduce me, though?

 

“Even if you say that, I think that’s already too much to ask.”

 

   Nao replied.

   What exactly is she trying to say?

   Kana-neechan then tilted her head with a pensive look.

 

“Why?”

“Our band consists of all girls, except Kaede-kun. Even if you told us not to make any suggestive gestures, I think it will probably still lead to that in the future.”

“That’s true, but….”

“And that also includes Kana with what she calls him.”

“What do you mean?”

“It’s impossible for us to call Kaede-kun, “Otouto-kun”.”

“That’s not—…. I just call him that way because it’s easier….”

“If you’re going to ban sex appeal, then Kana needs to call ‘Otouto-kun’, ‘Kaede’, first. Otherwise, it’s not convincing.”

“But…. Otouto-kun is Otouto-kun….”

 

   Well…. That’s because we’ve been together since we were little.

   So, it’s not like I don’t get her.

   But from her friends’ point of view, I’m just her junior.

   That also applies to me.

   They all go to the same girls’ school as Kana-neechan, but to me, they are just my seniors.

   This is the first time I’ve met her friends like this.

 

“Yes, yes…. As for me, I’m not really interested in that sort of thing, so I don’t really care either way.”

 

   Nao said so while sitting on my bed and crossing her legs.

   Umm…. Please don’t sit like that.

   She can cross her legs all she wants, but from this angle I can completely see the inside of her skirt.

   Even now, I could see a glimpse of her underwear. Contrary to her boyish image, it was a cute pink underwear.

 

“Well, I don’t really mind if Nao-chan doesn’t have any interest in love or anything like that.”

 

   Misa looked at Nao.

   It seems that Misa-san, Rie-san and Kana-neechan were not aware of her sitting posture.

 

“Yeah, I’m more into the band than romance.”

 

   Nao proudly replied.

   She’s free to say whatever she wants, but really, please stop sitting like that.

   I think that’s already seductive enough.

   Rather, she doesn’t seem to notice it at all….

   It would be too strange if I suddenly moved from my spot right now.

 

“That’s so Nao-chan. You’ve always been stoic about these things.”

“It doesn’t make me feel happy hearing that from Rie. I’m justーー”

“I know. You’re putting your dreams on our band, right?”

“Yeah. To achieve that, I have to practice no matter whatーー”

 

   Nao then picked up her guitar and gently strummed the strings.

   I can’t believe she’s so focused on the music that she doesn’t realize what she looks like right now…. How stoic can she be?

   As expected, I shouldn’t have let a girl into my room, huh?

   It was also probably my mistake letting Kana-neechan barge in like usual.

 

“If that’s the case, it looks like I have to practice too. We really need to use our precious little time well.”

“As we discussed before, the school festival is coming up soon and with all the preparations required for it, our practice time will be limited.”

“Anyway, today’s practice is over. If anyone still wants to continue, do it at home.”

“I know that. It was just a habit.”

“A habit you say…Nao-chan, you were even practicing in your underwear the other day, right!? I don’t care if it was too troublesome for you, but you’re too vulnerable!”

“It was just a hassle changing from my school uniform to my casual clothes and I was also in the middle of practice.”

“Even that’s impossible for me no matter how much I’m practicing.”

“Besides, it was hot too.”

“Well…it’s true that day was quite hot, but….”

“I just forgot to change because I was practicing by myself.”

“I guess it doesn’t matter what you wear if you’re alone.”

 

   Misa then looked at Nao.

   I don’t think Nao will be that outrageous as to be like that in my room, though.

   There was also the case with Kana-neechan, so I mustn’t let my guard down.

   For now, let’s examine the four seniors here.

   It seems like Nao thinks she still has not practiced enough.

   There should be no problem, since big bro is not practicing today.

 

“If you still want to practice, you can do it in that room instead.”

“Is it still okay to use that room, Kaede-kun?”

 

   Nao asked with a pondering look.

 

“Big bro isn’t home yet and I don’t think it will be a problem using it for a little while longer. However, you can’t stay the night.”

“Can’t stay the night…. Is there someone else staying in that room?”

“Yeah, one of big bro’s band members sometimes stays overnight to practice.”

“I see.”

“I think I know that person, was it Tetsu-san?”

“That’s rightーーHe’s big bro’s best friend and he often comes over.”

 

   As expected, Kana-neechan knows him, huh?

   She had been asked to join big bro’s band, so it’s not surprising that she knows about “Tetsu-san”.

 

“It’s because I declined Ryuuichi-san’s invitation before, I guess.”

“So that’s it.”

 

   Well, I didn’t dare to ask her why she declined to join his band.

   Kana-neechan herself even formed her own band, so my guess is they had clashing policies and ideas.

 

“ーーBy the way, there seems to be something underneath this bed, I wonder what it is?”

“Huh?”

 

   At Nao’s words, I instinctively turned my head in her direction.

   She was putting her hand underneath my bed, searching for something.

   ーーWait, please don’t do that.

   There’s nothing under the bed, so please, stop it.

 

“Aaah~ I was wondering about that, too.”

“Boys usually keep naughty books under their beds, right? So what about Kaede-kun?”

“Otouto-kun’s secret. I kinda want to know more.”

 

   However, not only Nao, but also Misa, Rie, and even Kana-neechan seemed to be intrigued.

   Sadly, they’re not naughty books.

   They are just music magazines.

   Yet, what came out from there was something more than I expected.

   And Nao-san was also dumbfounded when she pulled out the thing.

 

“What’s this?”

“Eh?”

 

   I was shocked when I saw what came out.

   It was, instead, an adult magazine.

 

“The worst….”

 

   Misa-san uttered.

   As for Nao-san and Rie-san, they smiled with a profound meaning.

 

“Kaede-kun is a boy after all, isn’t he?”

“I guess I feel a little relieved. I thought you weren’t interested in girls.”

 

   They added.

 

“You’re wrong! This is not minーー”

 

   I tried to defend myself, but the sudden pressure from Kana-neechan, who was near, stopped me from speaking.

   I was not allowed to read naughty books, manga, nor do naughty things in front of Kana-neechan.

   If those things were found out….

   Just thinking about it was terrifying.

 

“Otouto-kun? I wonder what this is all about?”

 

   Kana-neechan approached me with tremendous pressure.

   She was smiling as usual, yet her eyes were not.

   And I opened my mouth in a panic.

 

“You’re mistaken! It’s not mine! I don’t even remember putting that thing under my bed in the first place!”

“Hmmm~ I see.”

 

   Ah….

   She doesn’t believe me at all.

   Rather, she doubts it.

 

“Then, what’s this?”

 

   And Nao once again took out a certain thing from underneath the bed.

 

“Wha-…!?”

 

   Seeing it, I was absolutely stunned.

   It’s the thing used when a man and a woman are engaged in an indecent act.

   And it’s still brand new and unused.

   Of course, this made even Kana-neechan blush.

 

“Why does Otouto-kun have this kind of thing in your room!?”

“I don’t know. I just found that out today too.”

“I see. If it’s not Kaede-kun’s, then it’s Onii-san’s?”

“Might be…. Rather, this is my first time seeing it.”

“It’s still too early for Otouto-kun! …Nao, too! How long are you going to hold on to that!?”

“It’s not like that…. I’m just curiousーー”

 

   Kana-neechan forcefully took “that thing” from Nao-san.

 

“Anyway! I’ll confiscate this! And Nao! Don’t ransack Otouto-kun’s room anymore!”

“Well, I’ve never been in a boy’s room before, so I couldn’t resist….”

 

   Whether it was your first time or not, sitting on the bed and exploring underneath it was not the right thing to do, though.

 

“Don’t lie to me. I know Nao has a younger brother.”

“I mean, he’s still in elementary school, so he doesn’t have any of these naughty books. I also don’t think he understands it yet.”

“Still, you shouldn’t be probing under Otouto-kun’s bed!”

“I know that, but I was just sorely tempted and got this itch to do something like this when I finally entered a boy’s room.”

 

   Nao said with a smile, as if she had not learned her lesson at all.

   On the contrary, if a music magazine came out normally, she would probably make a dissatisfied look.

 

“Otouto-kun, can I talk to you later, after everyone else went home?”

“Err, well…. I need to do today’s homework after this, so I don’t think I can.”

“I don’t mind if it’s just for a bit…. You have time right?”

 

   Kana-neechan asked in a quiet tone, while holding an adult magazine and “that thing” in her hands.

   Ah…. This is when Kana-neechan wants to say something.

   She is smiling, but her current smile rather scares me.

   It’s incredibly hard to look at for some reason.

 

“O-Okay, if it’s only for a bit….”

 

   That was all I could say.

   If I refuse, I’m afraid of what will come.

 

   After practicing in that room for a little while, Nao-san and the others finally went home.
