Going to School with Otome and Yume
Otome: Do you have everything?
Oto-nee asked me as she locked the front door.
Oto-nee locked the Yoshino house's door pretty often.
It seemed rather strange, but it happened all the time.
Yoshiyuki: Ah!
Otome: What is it? Did you forget something?
Yoshiyuki: My lunch.
Otome: Hurry up and go get it... Wait, do you usually bring your lunch?
Yoshiyuki: No, not usually, but I want to take my lunch today.
Otome: There isn't enough time to make it now, though.
She said with a sigh.
Yoshiyuki: Yes, there is. Anything is possible, as long as you don't give up.
Otome: The impossible is impossible. Look at the time.
She showed me her watch.
Yoshiyuki: You can do it, Oto-nee.
Otome: What? I'm the one making it?
Yoshiyuki: Sure, because you're a good cook.
Otome: .........
Yoshiyuki: Your homemade lunch will give me something to look forward to, and I'll be able to concentrate on my studying.
Otome: .........
Yoshiyuki: Listen, I'll concentrate at least three times more than usual.
Rattle, rattle.
Yoshiyuki: Why are you unlocking the door?
Otome: I'm going to make lunch for you!
Her sleeves were already up, and she was ready to do it.
Yoshiyuki: But there isn't enough time, though.
Otome: In this world, anything is possible, as long as you don't give up.
Yoshiyuki: No way, that's impossible. Look at the time.
I showed her my phone.
Wait, our positions were switched.
Otome: Oooh.
Oto-nee looked at my phone wistfully.
Yume: Excuse me, I don't mind you enjoying this newlywed routine first thing in the morning, but I'm going to leave without you.
Yume reservedly spoke to us from just up ahead.
Yoshiyuki: We're coming.
I walked quickly and caught up with her.
Otome: Ah, wait for me.
Oto-nee caught up, too.
The three of us were side by side.
Yoshiyuki: Shall we go?
The three of us were walking down the street to school as usual.
Otome: If you want to bring your lunch, you need to let me know the day before. That way, I can prepare it ahead of time.
Yoshiyuki: No, I can't. I'm a man who lives by following his inspirations. My mood at the time determines those things.
Yume: That's what's called living haphazardly.
Otome: That's not good. You have to live purposefully.
Yume: It's no use telling Nii-san that. He always studies like mad the night before his tests.
Yoshiyuki: So do you.
Yume: Well, I get good grades.
I couldn't say anything because she was telling the truth.
By the way, how can she get good grades when she's always wasting her time lazily at home?
Yume: I'm different from you.
She smiled provokingly.
Yoshiyuki: Fool, don't underestimate me, okay? I just didn't study, that's all. I usually pretend to be studying during the exam period, but I actually play RPGs that I beat ages ago... Also, I read a complete set of my favorite manga. If I studied earnestly, I would be getting the best grades in the academy.
Otome: Hmm, is that so.
Yoshiyuki: Shit.
I forgot Oto-nee was here.
Otome: You just pretended to be studying but you werre really playing games and reading manga, huh?
Yoshiyuki: Ah, well, I mean...
Otome: I was actually relieved that even you studied during test period.
She came closer to me.
Otome: You've been deceiving Onee-chan, haven't you?
Yoshiyuki: N-No, I didn't mean to deceive you, really.
Otome: For now on, let's study together. I'll help teach you.
Her face was smiling, but her eyes weren't.
Oto-nee's right hand on my shoulder terrified me greatly.
Yoshiyuki: Yes, I'll be glad to.
That was all I could say.
Yume: Mooo-ron!
Yume muttered wearily next to me.
