Chapter 139 - Fateful Competition — Part 1 (2/2)

Sana squinted at me as if amazed, causing me to shrug my shoulders. We may have one-year age difference on the outside, but that isn’t the case on the inside.

Sana quickly brought up the conversation of the Miss Contest representative.

“Nii-san, are you going to participate in the Miss Contest?”

“I won’t. I’m a normal Japanese boy.”

Sana snorted her nose uninterestedly.

“Wait, it can’t be, you’re the representative, Sana…?”

“I was almost made to do it, but I told them I would suicide before that happened, and so everyone pulled back and picked someone else.”

“That’s what I thought! Of course no one would keep pushing you with that. Still, using that as a shield is unfair, isn’t it?”

“That’s how much I don’t want to do it.”

You don’t even know that? She said and then turned her head away.

“… Nii-san, if Sana were to participate… W-will…auus…?”

I couldn’t really hear very well.

“Eh? What did you say?”

“I was saying…”

At that moment, a text notification came from my cell phone.

It was from Hiiragi-chan.

[I was overwhelmed by various teachers, and Hiiragi-sensei… while reluctant, is now participating in the Miss Contest (> < ;)]

…So even the teachers need a representative. If that’s the case, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that the lethal weapon of Hiiragi-chan calibre would become the person of choice.

“It seems that Hiiragi-chan is going to participate.”

“Heeh. Hmph.”

She pursed her lips, and looked somewhat dissatisfied.

The judgement criteria consists of four categories: karaoke, cosplay, casual clothes, and special skills. Swimsuits are supposed to fit under the cosplay category from what I heard. It basically means it’s okay if you really want to wear a swimsuit.

I want to see Hiiragi-chan in a swimsuit, but I don’t want other guys to see it. Such is the complicated heart of a man.

That’s right, I’ve never been on a karaoke date with her. Can Hiiragi-chan even sing…!?

“Nii-san, are you going to cheer for Hiiragi-sensei?”

“Well, she is our advisor, and so I’ll cheer for the teacher that I’m close to. Even if it wasn’t a teacher, I would probably cheer for a girl I’m close with.”

As I was walking, I finally noticed that Sana had stopped and stood still.

“Is something wrong?”

She was tightly gripping her hand into a fist.

“Even… Sana…”

“Eh, what?”

“If Hiiragi-sensei is participating—”

Sana affirmed her resolve and shouted.

“S-Sana will also participate!

F-for real? But… why? What’s wrong all of a sudden?
