While I Was Giving Love Advice to My Best Friend, the School's Most Beautiful Girl Somehow Became the Closest Person to Me-Chapter 3Volume 1 .6 - Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

“Hey, Onee-san. Did the other Onee-san get a fever?”

“Yes, that’s right. Her name is Shizuku. She’s as cute as you, Hiyori-chan.”

I think it’s a bit disrespectful to Otsuki-san to treat her the same as a five-year-old.

Well, I doubt there are many kids as adorable as my angel Hiyori.

“What kind of person is she?”

“Well, let’s see. You might not understand if I say she’s considerate. Shizuku is a kind person who comes to help immediately when you’re in trouble. She’s someone who rushes over right away and makes you feel safe. She’s my best friend.”

“Wow, just like Nii-Nii!”

“Like Kogure-kun?”

“Yeah! He’s always by Hii’s side! Nii-Nii is kind too.”

“I see. Hiyori-chan really loves her Onii-chan, huh?”

“Yeah!”

Oh no, I’m so touched I might cry.

I’m happy that Hiyori is growing up to be such a good kid.

“And did you know? Your Onii-chan likes Shizuku, Hiyori-chan.”

“Really?”

“Hey! Asahina-san!?”

“What? It’s the truth.”

I wish she hadn’t filled my little sister’s head with that.

There’s no problem if it’s just us, but I’m worried about the misunderstandings spreading.

“Will Hii get an Onee-chan?”

“Yes! If Hiyori-chan’s Onii-chan can shows his manliness.”

“Don’t set such impossible tasks…”

I’ll have to give Hiyori a good talking to when we get back. Our conversation was lively, almost noisy.

Since it was Saturday, the place was crowded.

“Today, we’re going to have a lot of fun~!”

“Let’s play~!”

“Asahina-san, you’re in high spirits too, huh?”

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to an amusement park. I used to go often with Shizuku and Kokoro… but I haven’t been recently.”

“Isn’t that just because you’re in high school now? Didn’t you go together in junior high school?”

“Well, Kokoro started prioritizing club activities, but also, when the three of us went out, we often found ourselves in dangerous situations. We’d get approached every step we took.”

I see… Not only Asahina-san but Otsuki-san and Mizuhara-san are also quite attractive. If they were junior high schoolers, they’d probably get approached even more often. Maybe that’s why they didn’t go, to avoid putting Otsuki-san in danger.

“Maybe the reason we haven’t been approached even once today is because Kogure-kun is with us.”

“If being seen as a man is what it takes, then it’s worth coming.”

“We’ll need you to protect Hiyori-chan and me today.”

“Nii-Nii, do your best!”

Good grief… I’m not particularly strong, but being in a sports club means I have at least the minimum height and muscle.

I wonder if Reo were here, would he look more like a proper bodyguard?

“Nii-Nii, I want to take a picture, give me your smartphone.”

“Sure. But before that, the Cure Cure Show starts at 1:30 PM, so shall we go on something?”

“Hiyori-chan, where do you want to go? Your Onee-san will take you anywhere!”

“Over there.”

Hiyori quickly pointed. It was Amazing Land’s most famous attraction.

I knew Hiyori’s preferences well, so I wasn’t surprised… but Asahina-san turned pale at the sight.

“Um… is that a cafe?”

“No, look, it’s Horror World. It’s a haunted house.”

A building that a hundred people would look at and a hundred people would identify as a haunted house.

The exterior was adorned with skeletons and mummies.

“Hii was looking forward to it as much as the Cure Cure Show!”

“Hiyori really likes ghosts and stuff. Asahina-san, are you okay?”

“Y-yes, I’m fine. Totally fine.”

She didn’t look fine at all. Her complexion was poor, and her legs were shaking. I guess she was not good with scary things.

“It’s okay to wait for us if you’re not good with scary stuff.”

“No, I…”

“You’re not going, Onee-san? Hii is sad.”

Hiyori looked sadly downcast. But I couldn’t force someone who was uncomfortable to go.

It was my duty as her brother to stop Hiyori, when suddenly…

“Let’s go! I can do it for Hiyori-chan’s sake!”

Her love for Hiyori overcame her fear!

Asahina-san quickly cheered up, took Hiyori’s hand, and they both energetically walked towards Horror World.

“Is she really going to be okay?”

Well, if she’s feeling that way, it should be fine. Asahina-san had been chatting happily with Hiyori while we were lining up and even during the reception.

Even though she said she was scared, it might not be such a big deal.

That’s what I thought just as we stepped into the Horror World.

“No… I can’t do this.”

She crouched down immediately. We had barely entered… Was it really that bad for her?

“Is it really that bad?”

“I can’t handle scary things or the dark. And this sound is also a no-go.”

That high-pitched sound characteristic of horror was indeed playing.

“Hiyori, make sure you don’t go ahead, okay?”

“Yes! But Nii-Nii, I want to go quickly!”

It can’t be helped, but here we have a five-year-old child excited, while a fifteen-year-old girl is crouching and trembling.

This contrast is indescribable.

“Onee-san, are you scared?”

“Yeah, I’m scared…”

Her speech has reverted to that of a five-year-old… Hiyori pats Asahina-san’s back in a comforting manner.

“There’s a way to not be scared.”

“Really?”

“Just hug Nii-Nii. When Hii is scared, she often hugs Nii-Nii. It’s warm.”

“No, that’s a little…”

“No good? Sniffle… Kogure-kun.”

“Please don’t look at me with those about-to-cry eyes!”

It would be fine if we were something more, but Asahina-san and I are just classmates… But we can’t move forward like this.

“Alright. Then please hold my hand.”

“Okay, don’t let go, promise?”

“I won’t.”

I take Asahina-san’s hand and help her stand up. The feeling a girl’s palm almost distracts me.

“Let’s go slowly.”

“O-okay.”

The moment we take another step, a loud bang sounds, and a ghostly figure pops out from the wall.

“Noooooo!”

“Ugh!”

Instead of just holding hands, she’s hugging me with her whole body.

It’s been a while since I’ve been this close to a girl, so my heart is racing for a different reason.

Asahina-san really must be out of her element right now.

“Uh… you should let go a little bit—”

“No way, no way, no way! Please, don’t let go! Don’t abandon me! If Kogure-kun abandons me… I’ll die!”

“Could you stop saying things that might cause misunderstandings!?”

Perhaps the first shock was too much for her. Asahina-san clung to my arm the entire time.

“Hiyori will protect Onee-san!”

Hiyori is so reliable.

It’s not just that she’s an angel. As a brother, I’m happy to see how much she’s grown.

In contrast, this person here…

“Sniffle… sniffle…”

As I dragged the sobbing Asahina-san through the haunted house, I couldn’t help but think I’d be able to hold her more firmly if I were her boyfriend. But I definitely didn’t have the courage for that.

Her presence was far more thrilling than any ghost could be.

The school’s most beautiful girl was right next to me, clinging to me. No good, just thinking about it makes my face heat up.

I need to walk without thinking.

◇◇◇

“That was fun~”

It took quite some time, but we finally made it out of the Horror World.

Hiyori seemed satisfied, but my mind had been elsewhere the whole time, so I hardly knew what had happened.

Even now Asahina-san still clung to me. I guided her to sit on a bench.
