Chapter 17 - Hiiragi-chan the Stalker (2/2)

Sana threw a diss at me with a smug face.

It was a nice smile that I hadn’t seen recently.

◆ Hiiragi Haruka ◆

“Seiji-kun, how are you going to spend your Saturday?”

“Ah, I’m going to go with Sana to the game shop and go and buy some manga as well.”

“I see, have fun ♪”

Or so I said, but as expected, I’m still curious…

No matter how I think of it, Sana-chan definitely doesn’t think of herself as Seiji-kun’s sister when she’s interacting with him. I had ended up seeing that definitive scene after all. But even before that, I had thought that the way she acted towards Seiji-kun didn’t seem very sister like.

“Brother and sister is definitely more out of the question than student and teacher, Sana-chan.”

The clock in the staff room was just about to hit 11 o’clock.

There were a surprising number of teachers who came to work on Saturday. There were some teachers that came in the morning to help with club activities as the club advisor, and after finishing up in the afternoon, they begin their work as teachers. There were also teachers that came to finish up work that they simply couldn’t finish during the weekday.

I was one of the latter.

If I had done my work earlier, I would’ve been able to have fun with Seiji-kun… still, I couldn’t help but be curious about what he was doing right now. I came in at 8 in the morning but I haven’t made any progress at all. Even though I had thought to give it my all today in order to finish it so that I can have fun with Seiji-kun tomorrow.

“Muun… I can’t make any progress…”

Ever since I started going out with Seiji-kun, I did still go to the drinking parties on Friday, but I haven’t drunk as much due to my position. Of course, I stopped going to the after parties as well.

After all, if I were to get drunk, I would definitely start talking about how I have a boyfriend. If I do say that, there would definitely be people who would be curious about who it is, what age they are, and what work they do. Seiji-kun had said things to me, and made sure that I understood it properly.

He said that if you lie repeatedly, there will definitely be contradictions that come out at some point. However, there’s no need for us to make such a big lie in saying that I had no boyfriend, instead it was only necessary to not tell the full truth. Really, Seiji-kun is such a genius.

As I think more about him, the more I want to see him…

…

I just need to take my work home and work on it there.

Patan, I close my laptop, gather up my stuff and get into my car. Even if I want to see him though, he’s supposed to be with Sana-chan today, right…? If it’s games and manga, then the place is…

“It would have to be in the middle of the city. That’s the only place.”

Stores that specialize in games, manga, and anime were all located in that area. Driving my car there, I park it in a parking lot in the area, and step outside. There, I just happened to catch sight of my beloved Seiji-kun.

“Lucky. I found him.”

…I want to call out to him. However, since I told him I would be working, I probably shouldn’t be here, right? He would probably end up making a somewhat scary face. Since Seiji-kun is quite serious, and I’m a little airheaded, he would probably say something like “Do your work properly,” and get mad at me.

Seiji-kun tended to feel like a tough senior at work, who was strict in making sure others do their work. Even though he’s a high school student. It’s only because of Seiji-kun that I can work hard on my work. As I was trying to make excuses to the Seiji-kun within my mind, Sana-chan came over with a crepe in hand.

“Why did you buy such a fancy thing?”

“Nii-san, you were staring at it earlier right? You want to eat it too, don’t you?”

“Well, I guess.”

Sana-chan ended up smoothly grabbing Seiji-kun’s arm and began to walk with him.

Aaaauuuuuuuu.

Me too, I want to do something like that with Seiji-kun. Since we don’t know who would end up seeing us if we ended up going on a date in public, Seiji-kun has completely forbidden it so I can’t do anything like that…

More importantly, why is she holding his arm like that!? You’re brother and sister, right!? Holding his arm like that and eating crepe together as you walk. That’s not what a brother and sister would do! No matter how you look at it, it’s a couple!!

Aaauuuuuu.

I’m so jeaaaalloouuusssss. If I were a maid, I would be biting the hem of my apron. Mou, I’m angry. Seiji-kun, just because I’m not supposed to be watching, you shouldn’t be so close to Sana-chan.

“I am watching… I am always watching…”

Pashari, I send the message with the picture I took of them. I decided to watch over the siblings from the shadows.

“—!?!?”

Ah, it seems like Seiji-kun has seen the message. He quickly shook his head and looked left and right. It seems like he’s looking for his beloved Haruka-san ♡

“Nii-san? Is something wrong?”

“I-i-it’s nothing. Today… didn’t she say she was busy…? I guess she ended up skipping out and is now tailing us.”

Ugi. He found out. Well, I guess, it can’t be helped. Since I sent him the photo, there’s no way he wouldn’t find out.

“You look quite handsome in your casual clothes ♪. Sensei really thinks it suits you ♡”

I sent another text. If I compliment him, I’ll probably be able to divert the conversation. Seiji-kun manipulated his phone for a bit, and a reply came quickly after that.

“Please do your work.”

So distaaaaant!

“We won’t be able to have next week this way, right?”

That wouldn’t be gooooood!

As he continued to look around, Seiji-kun quickly finished the crepe and went inside a store. Still, I’m curious… I’ll just go ahead and take a peek ♪
