Shippai Kinshi:Volume1 Chapter1

"......Shou? How long are you gonna stand here?"

Asking this was my little sister, Hijiri Shimizu, who was attending her second year of high school.

By the way, I, Shou Shimizu, was also a second year high school student.

The reason we were in the same year was because we happened to be born in the same school year.

We were even in the same class.

And now, my sister was fixing me with her expressionless eyes, like she always did.

"Shou?"

Even though her voice was as flat as always, it carried an accusing tone.

My heart suddenly froze.

Instinctively, I tried to find an excuse.

"Y-Y-You're wrong! I-I-It wasn't me!"

"...? Despite what you're saying, you're the only other person here."

I was at home.

Since I was at home, it was only natural that my sister would be here as well. So there shouldn't be any reason to accuse me, right?

However, this was a situation that didn't work out with that argument.

My sister had gone into the bathroom,

"...Exactly how long do you plan to watch your little sister using the toilet?"

And I had a clear view of her panties.

I-I could even see the stripes clearly.

Wait, this is bad. This is really bad! I-If things continue like this, Hijiri will hate me!

I-I must find a way to get through this.

Damn. Calm, CALM DOWN! My heart is beating too loudly!

"Oh, right. I came here to help."

"...To help?"

"Yeah. The reason I came here was to help my cute, sweet sister."

"...How do you plan on helping me, Shou?"

Her expression unchanging, Hijiri became alert and hugged herself with one arm.

I suddenly got a hold of myself.

How can I help my little sister while she's in the washroom?

Think.

I must think quickly! I must mobilize every single brain cell that I have!

I just need to read her mind...!

What would Hijiri need to do after this? If I say that I was helping her with that, then I'd be automatically safe!

...Right! That!

"I-I'll help you wipe, Hijiri."

LIKE HELL! That line was clearly wrong!

"...Shou.........You're terrible."

Hijiri stood up and kicked me, her face still expressionless. I-I can see–!

"—Argh!"

Hijiri, it hurts... Being beaten by her makes me kinda happy though...

No, NONONO! If this goes on, Hijiri will hate me!

...Damn. I must do something to redeem myself.

As I thought this, the door closed in front of me.

The scene switched to the living room.

By the way, my sister and I were the only ones living here. Our father was working overseas, and our mother was travelling from place to place because of her work, never getting the chance to come home.

"Hey,Hijiri. Here's some pudding. Wanna eat together?"

"I don't want to."

"You like sweet things, don't you?"

"......Hmph, I don't."

"It's from the Lion House, you know? I had to wait in line for two hours yesterday in order to get it."

After hearing this, Hijiri's ears quivered slightly.

Though she wasn't looking this way, her ears were certainly paying me attention.

"It's delicious. It's made from the yolk of eggs that have been rigorously selected in order to make the powerful flavor explode in your mouth."

"*gulp*"

"I-I wouldn't mind letting you eat it, if only you'd go to school with me~."

"Ughh..."

"What happened just now was just wasted effort. Yeah, like water flushed down the toilet."

"...You really think that that's supposed to make me feel better? But still......I decline."

"You're saying that, but you're still staring at the pudding, you know? I'll have some then."

"......I don't care."

"Ahh—it's great. The Lion House's pudding is superb. I can feel it melt on my tongue."

Hijiri pouted. It seemed that she wasn't happy.

"...Fine. We'll go together. However, I have one condition."

"That's great! I got it. It's fine, so eat as much as you want."

As I looked at Hijiri eating the pudding, I was thinking of going to school together with her.

   ●▲

"Hehe, hehehe. It has been long since I've gone to school together with Hijiri............though..."

What bothered me was that I had to walk behind her at least fifty meters away.

It's still fine like that though. As I was thinking about that, I held my binoculars on one hand while following Hijiri from behind.

"Wait, now that I think of it carefully, to be separated by such a distance doesn't even count as going school together!?"

It's a really well-thought strategy, coming from my sister.

"...As expected from Hijiri. She's literally the Kongming of the modern era!"

I gulped in fear.

Hijiri wasn't just the brainy type.

She had a face like that of a doll. Plus, her constant impassive expression emits a mysterious aura.

If you look at a immobile Hijiri, you'd feel the same as looking at this world's cutest doll.

How can I break the promise I made with such a cute little sister?

I could only keep a distance of fifty meters between her and me on the route to school.

...That's right.

Yeah. We're currently going to school together. I'm sure we are. I'M SURE!

"Eh, who is that weirdo...?"

The silhouette of a petite girl, wearing the same uniform as Hijiri and riding on a bike, came closer to her.

She had soft black hair, and she was so short that people could mistake her for a grade school student.

Afterwards, they surprisingly went to school together.

...Is this for real? Hijiri, who had never bought any friend at home to play with, actually...

"Hijiri has finally made a friend...Waah. We have to eat red beans rice today. Aaah, my tears..."

"Hey. That suspicious guy over there!."

"Hmm?"

The one behind who talked to me was my friend Katou.

Katou is someone who gathers many types of information and who takes all of it, without even caring whether they're useless or not.

"...Oh, so it was just you."

"To peek with your binoculars during the morning while walking to school...what the hell are you doing?"

After listening to the explanation of what happened, Katou looked ahead and nodded in understanding.

"—Aaah, just as I thought. It was to peek at Hiji."

"Don't call her Hiji, or I'll kill you."

"......Shimizu, you really look serious about it. ...Well, it's not like I don't get it though. After all, she was ranked in the top five cutest girls at school. If she was my little sister, I'd be maybe like that too."

"Katou, you bastard! Hijiri is my little sister. And are you trying to make her look bad? Top five only?"

"Shimizu, your face is way too close...! Though there's no issue with you thinking she's the number one..."

"No! Hijiri is the number one of the world. The most beautiful maiden through history. Plus, her cuteness has already surpassed what a human could have."

"Aren't you obviously exaggerating?"

"What? What did you just say? Hey, bastard..."

"...Don't, don't stare at me like that. Still the same old siscon, huh."

"What's wrong with being a siscon. Anyway, Katou, do you know who's the one beside Hijiri?"

"...The one with the silhouette of a loli is Karin Minato. Our junior, since she's in first year. The kind of beauty that fits in the loli category. She's so cute that even the upperclassmen know her. Her black hair emits a strawberry scent. That's probably because of her shampoo."

"Y-You even know what's her hair's scent? ...You're fucking awesome."

"Don't make it such a big deal. After all, I just happened to smell that when I brushed past her.

"So, what's her connection with Hijiri!?"

"Hey, calm down! Don't shake me! Sigh, really. You're always like that when something concerns your little sister. The answer to your question would be that she met her during her club activities. Karin Minato is a member of the Flower Arrangement club. Hijiri Shimizu also seems to have entered this year in the same club."

"Huh!? Hijiri, she- !? It's the first time I've heard of that!"

"Close! Too close! Your face is too close! Get off! ...huu. It was founded this year by a wealthy family's daughter whose name is Chris Ryusenji. It's called the Second Flower Arrangement Club."

"The Second...? It's not your usual Flower Arrangement Club then?"

"Uh-uh. It seems that it intentionally wanted to distinguish itself from the existing Flower Arrangement Club. Plus, there are very few members."

"...so it was founded this year, huh. How is it different from the previous Flower Arrangement Club?"

"—I dunno."

"Eh?"

"I have no idea. For some unknown reason, no matter what's happening in it, there's nothing that's leaked out. The only thing that's known is that the club members are all incredibly beautiful girls. They are the club leader Chris Ryusenji, Hijiri Shimizu and Karin Minato. There's even a rumor that only beautiful girls can enter this club."

"W-What! Hijiri was actually in place like that...?"

I was shocked. Then, Katou rubbed his hands against each other.

"I also want to get closer to that Flower Arrangement Club, Shimizu. Can I do it by asking your little sister to introduce me to—"

Does he want to get closer to my little sister?

"If you really want to get closer to my little sister...no, if Hijiri enters your field of vision, I'll kill you."

"Ehhh!? Even if I look at her!?"

That said, Hijiri has been quite happy during those past days. It's something that didn't happen until now.

It was surely because of this Second Flower Arrangement Club. I needed to greet the members as a big brother.

Hijiri, who was walking in front, suddenly seemed to feel something, and her shoulders started to shake uneasily.

By the way, the Second Flower Arrangement Club...

Though the members are all beautiful girls, I still wasn't clear on what were the club activities.

What on earth were the club activities Hijiri was taking part in?

...I'll go take a look at them after school.

   ●▲

On that day, after school, I was walking up the stairs that lead to the Second Flower Arrangement Club.

"Hmm, the Second Flower Arrangement Club is there, right...?"

Afterwards, the voice of a girl came from the top.

"W-Waahhhhh...! Please, please get out of my way!"

A black-haired girl fell from the stairs.

Yep—she fell from the stairs.

"Eh..."

Because of the gravitational acceleration, the girl bumped me hard on the chest.

• rumble* *rumble* *bang*! Just like that, she and I both rolled together to the stairs' bottom.

"Wuu, that was a scary overwhelming shock."

That voice came from the front.

I, who was lying on the floor, felt something warm mounted on me.

After opening my eyes, what I saw was an amazingly cute face.

She had supple long black hair. Her delicate eyebrows and her thin lips, and also those big round eyes staring at me...she was like a small Yamato Nadeshiko.

It was a girl like her that was pressed up tightly against my body, as if she was part of me.

She let a shriek soon after.

"W-Wait! You, where are you...! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUCHING!?"

"E-Ehhhh? I'm not touching anywhere weird...ah."

Well, I'm tightly pressed up against her after all.

Though there's nothing I can do unless she decides to get off from my body.

"My c-c-c-chest, you touched my chest!"

"What? Nah, I shouldn't have touched your chest. I felt nothing.

"WH-!? What are you saying!?"

After I said "Look.", I started groping with my hands.

The sensual feeling of her chest was totally absent.

"Ah, but you do have a little flesh. You have a little flubber on your belly, despite the way you look."

"Nnnaaah! T-Those're my breasts! My breasts...Uuu...Uaah!"

Shit. Could it be that I triggered some kind of psychological trauma!?

Err...At a time like this, I should throw a few compliments at her.

Yep. That's the only way. At least I will be able to compensate for my error.

"...I think they're rather stylish...good breasts, though?"

"EH!?"

The girl opened her eyes wide.

"It seems like there wouldn't be any drag. They won't pose any obstacles for archery, swimming or track."

"Whawhahwahwhahwa!? What are you saying!?"

"I mean, you shouldn't need a bra. It's economical; you can save money and stuff. You're super thrifty."

"I thought that you were going to apologize, and yet, you're making fun of me!? You d-demon! That was so mean! Damn!"

The girl immediately stood up.

Then *BANG**BANG*! She kicked me twice on the chest.

"Gwaahh..."

"You shall die for you sin! Take this! And that!"

"You know, in a position like this, I can see your panties, you know? So—"

"So what! You want me to spread my legs over your head!? Damn pervert!"
