Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 4Volume 1 . - Twin Talk ② The person each other likes...?

Twin Talk──! ②

The person each other likes…?

“──I’m home.”

When Hikari returned home, Chikage came rushing to the entrance dressed in an apron.

“Hey, Hii-chan! You went to the arcade again, didn’t you!?”

Chikage glared at Hikari and standing imposingly with a ladle in hand.

“Just needed a change of scenery.”

“A change of scenery…huh? Hii-chan?”

“…What is it?”

“You seem down, are you okay?”

Chikage spoke with concern, but Hikari didn’t have the energy to smile and pretend everything was fine.

It wasn’t so much feeling down as it was a dazed sensation. She had been thinking about her encounter with Sakuto at the station all the way home.

It was a new sensation for Hikari, and she hadn’t realized she appeared so downcast that Chikage would worry.

“I don’t really understand, but yeah… well, I guess I’m okay…”

“Really?”

“Yeah… Anyway, Chii-chan, I’m sorry about everything until now.”

Suddenly apologized to, Chikage became even more worried.

It didn’t seem like a joke. Hikari genuinely seemed remorseful.

Sensing the mood getting heavier, Chikage hurriedly put on a smile.

“Eh? What for? I can think of too many things, so I’m not sure which one…”

“Hahaha… Various things. Especially about going to the arcade.”

“I see, you’re feeling sorry about that.”

“Yeah… today I heard that a strange rumor was spreading around school, and I really felt sorry.”

“A strange rumor?”

The two moved to the living room and sat on the sofa to talk in depth.

After hearing everything from Hikari, Chikage gently smiled.

“——I see…… So the fact that Hii-chan was going to the arcade had become a rumor about me?”

“Yeah, sorry…”

“No-no, it turns out it wasn’t my rumor after all, so I’m not worried about it. I don’t really care about rumors anyway.”

Seeing Hikari this downcast was rare, so Chikage spoke carefully.

“Really? So, can I go to the arcade again from tomorrow?”

“…what did you say?”

“Sorry, I really regret it…”

Hikari shrank under Chikage’s glare, knowing that she’s truly frightening when angry.

“So, where did you hear that rumor?”

“About that, I’ve recently become close with a boy.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Yeah. We’ve only met like twice, but he’s the one who told me.”

As she said this, Hikari’s cheeks reddened. Probably, this close boy is someone important to Hikari.

Chikage, who is not usually proactive in her own love life, does not dislike these kinds of love stories.

Especially since Hikari, who never used to pay attention to boys, probably likes this person.

As her sister, Chikage is quite curious.

Who could have captivated her sister like this?

“Hey, what’s he like?”

“Umm… maybe someone who understands heartache?”

“What?”

“Someone who makes me feel safe when I’m with him.”

Because he understands heartache, they can empathize and feel secure with each other.

That’s why Hikari wants to be with him more, to connect more.

It’s not about understanding each other intellectually but about wanting to connect heart to heart.

“How about you, Chii-chan?”

“Huh…? Me!?”

Caught off guard, Chikage’s face turned bright red.

“He was someone you met at cram school, right? Since you changed your course of study to follow him, it seems like there might be some progress soon, doesn’t it?”

“Ye-yeah, there was some progress… maybe…”

“Really!? Like what-like what!?”

“Err… hugged?”

──Although it was an accident.

“What else-what else!?”

“Uhh… he protected me and said he couldn’t leave me alone?”

──But this was after she nearly strangled him with his necktie.

“Why are you speaking using questions?”

“Uh… because sometimes facts and truth are different… please understand…”

“Ah, yeah… I kind of get it. Ahahaha…”

It seems things aren’t going quite as planned.

Plus, Hikari realized that Chikage must have made some major mistake.

“I need to try harder too…”

“Hii-chan is cute, so you’ll be fine…”

“Chii-chan is cuter, so you’re the one that will be fine! Come on-come on~!”

With that, Hikari playfully nudged Chikage.

“Stostop it!”

Chikage tried to escape from the tickling, but she soon found herself smiling.

Her sister is overly affectionate even after becoming a high school student, but Chikage doesn’t dislike it.

Then, Hikari suddenly stopped her hand.

“Ah, right!”

“…? What’s wrong?”

“The person I currently like, he’s probably popular…”

“And that means?”

“That means he’s a wonderful person! There must be other girls who would fall for him like I did! So I need to get even closer to him!”

Chikage laughs in disbelief as she watches Hikari’s flustered face.

“That’s important, I think, but how will you get closer?”

“Five times the usual skinship!”

“Stop it… You’ll totally scare him away…”

“Is that so? Hmm…”

Chikage feels it’s silly to be seriously worried about this, but she sees some logic in Hikari’s point.

Previously, she had set a rule for Sakuto that they could only touch if they became a couple.

That strategy might have been a mistake. Being too reserved might make her less appealing.

“Chii-chan, you need to get your crush quickly, or someone else will take him away!”

“O-okay! I’ll try going for double the usual effort…!”

──And so, the twins, still unaware they both have feelings for the same person, ended their conversation.
