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 .9 - Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

Me, the Angel, and the Clumsy Beauty

“Heh… After all the times I clung to you, now it’s your turn to cling to me, huh?”

“I’m so sorry.”

“Hyahn, no don’t, don’t breathe on me. Stop it!”

“Ouch!”

A crisp slap and a sharp pain in my cheek snapped me back to reality.

“Really… enough! You have Shizuku!”

Asahina-san was still a bit angry, but thankfully, it wasn’t a fatal level of anger.

It seemed she took it as an accidentm, and the photo went unnoticed and was deleted.

It’s a relief I noticed it before it wasdiscovered because getting caught would have been a disaster.

“Nii-Nii, does your cheek hurt?”

“It’s okay, I guess.”

“Onee-san was so soft. Don’t you think so, Nii-Nii?”

“Of course.”

“Glare”

“I’m kidding.”

Despite the slap, it was a great experience.

Perhaps the reason we didn’t end up on bad terms after all that happened is because of the incident this morning.

Since it was a good time, we moved to the venue for the Cure Cure Show. We sat in seats close to the stage.

“Hiyori, let’s change clothes?”

“Mmm.”

“Eh, here? Oh!”

I took out clothes from my luggage and draped them over Hiyori’s body. It was a homemade Cure Cure costume.

Naturally, the quality wasn’t that great since it was made with cheap fabric.

“Wow, how cute! It’s like Cure Cure is really here!”

“Nii-Nii made it for me.”

“That’s right, I remember Shizuku saying she saw it too. It’s amazing that you can sew.”

“It’s just an amateur hobby. I was thinking about how to make our angelic Hiyori look even more angelic, and this is what I came up with.”

“Kogure-kun’s sister complex is quite something.”

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

The audience began to fill the seats, and the venue steadily became crowded.

Asahina-san and I sat with Hiyori between us, waiting for the show to start.

“The costume of the child in front is well made.”

“The couple in front… could it be their daughter?”

Thanks to Hiyori standing out, I could hear comments directed at us, and it felt awkward.

I wonder if going out with a girl automatically leads to being treated as a couple. But having a five-year-old daughter is stretching it too far.

I hope Asahina-san isn’t bothered by it. I glance over at Asahina-san.

“…”

My eyes met with a slightly embarrassed Asahina-san!

Feeling the awkwardness, I looked away. It seemed Asahina-san was also becoming self-conscious.

I had forgotten because she’s so beautiful, but she said she wasn’t used to men. If the story was I’m interested in Asahina-san instead of Otsuki-san, maybe things would have been different. But then again… we probably wouldn’t have this kind of relationship.

It’s comfortable because there’s no mutual affection.

I should stop being overly conscious because she must be thinking the same.

『The Cure Cure Show is about to start!』

“Woww—!”

The magical girl Cure Cure. Recently, it’s become quite a major physical-type magical girl series.

She uses magic to buff herself and then fights with physical attacks. When I first watched it with Hiyori, I thought it was odd, but it’s surprisingly deep.

In this stage show, the costumed Cure Cures battle against an evil organization.

“Whoa!!!”

Hiyori watches the TV anime “Cure Cure” live once a week and again later after she records it.

I often join her, so I like to think I know a bit about Cure Cure. Even from my perspective, this show is pretty well done.

The script of the show is solid. It must have been written by someone who knows Cure Cure well.

“Cure Cure, I used to watch it a lot when I was little, but now it has a good setting and is interesting. I thought it was more for kids.”

“Yes, it’s kind of interesting. You can’t underestimate it just because it’s for kids.”

“It’s on Sunday mornings, right? I want to watch it, but I can’t wake up.”

“Should I lend you the commercial Blu-rays? We have a collection.”

“You have a collection?”

“Haha, I’d do anything for Hiyori’s smile. I wouldn’t hesitate to go buy them at the store on release day.”

“You’re a model brother. But being too proud of it is a bit creepy.”

“Could you please not say it out loud!?”

The show was reaching its climax. In front of the original monster, the Cure Cure team was struggling mightily.

『Let’s all cheer for Cure Cure!』

This part was predictable. The host Onee-san was hyping up the audience. Hiyori, along with the other children, was cheering loudly for Cure Cure.

“Excuse me~”

I was startled when a voice suddenly came from behind my seat. It was a male staff.

“Would your young lady be willing to participate in the show as a hostage of the monster?”

“Me?”

Asahina-san noticed and turned around.

It was part of the show’s direction to take a member of the audience hostage to build excitement.

They had gone out of their way to approach Asahina-san… Well, they must have had their eye on her from the start.

“What is your relationship with each other?”

“Uh, we’re siblings.”

“Is that so? Then… we can go with that pattern.”

I thought they were asking about my relationship with Hiyori, but maybe I was mistaken?

Well, it’s fine.

Asahina-san stood up.

“If there’s something I can do for the children.”

Asahina-san seemed quite into it. The Onii-san signaled to another staff member that it was okay for her to just stand there.

“This is unexpected.”

“It might be a last-minute change due to some trouble.”

“Maybe it’s thanks to Hiyori-chan’s outfit.”

That might be part of it, but I think the main reason is her appearance.

Soon, the monster in a pinch descended into the audience and made its way to Asahina-san.

“Guhahaha, you’re coming with me!”

“Kyaa~ oh no~”

Her delivery was so stiff!

“Nii-Nii, Onee-san has been taken away!”

“It’s okay. Cure Cure will take care of it.”

“Please, Ototo-san (younger brother), you should join in as well!”

“Me? Wait, Ototo-san?”

Could they have mistaken my relationship with Asahina-san as siblings?

That must be what they were asking earlier. I was going to decline, but…

“Nii-Nii, save Onee-san!”

“Leave it to me!”

I couldn’t refuse when my beloved Hiyori pleaded with me.

I was led by the staff onto the stage. But this was still the Cure Cure Show.

Extras weren’t supposed to stand out.

Caught by the monster, Asahina-san turned her face towards the audience.

She cried out as if praying.

“Help me, Cure Cure!”

“Uooohhhhhh!”

Men’s deep voice could be heard. Of course, they’d get excited when a cute girl like an idol asks for help. Asahina-san was doing well.

Now, what should I do?

The staff whispered to me from behind.

“Please help the hostage when Cure Cure defeats the monster.”

“Got it.”

“And make sure to carry that Onee-san in your arms.”

“Alright… Wait, what? Carry her in my arms!?”

Hold on a second.

What does ‘carry her in my arms’ mean?

Sure, it wouldn’t be a problem to carry her if we were siblings. But Asahina-san and I aren’t actually related, and we’re not a couple either.

There’s no way I could do that.
