My sister turned me into a witch! ?

"Well, it's okay. After all, Yuuki-kun seemed to be worried about something just now, so I didn't disturb him. Yuuki-kun, can you tell me what you were worried about just now?"

Not only is the girl beautiful in appearance, she is also very gentle at heart. It is probably because of this that Yuuki decided to agree to her request.

Unlike my sister, I feel very comfortable and at ease when I am with her.

"It's nothing, just something unusual and perverse that my sister did."

"Hmm, what about Yukari? The brother-sister relationship is really enviable."

"That's not the case. I can't guess what my sister is thinking."

Yuuki smiled bitterly and looked directly at the girl with a gentle smile on her face.

"That's great. Isn't there something like this in that book you like, Warmth? Only through communication can we truly understand each other. Only by trying to guess what the other person is thinking can we keep life fresh, right?"

The girl shook her head slightly and said the words Yuki wanted to hear most.

Hearing her words, Yuuki raised his head and opened his eyes wide, and then his face returned to calm.

"—That's true, perhaps that's true. Thank you, Naruse-san."

"No, no, it's better to say that it's my fault for inviting you so suddenly. I'd like to ask you to have something to eat as a thank you."

Hearing Yuuki's praise, Minato seemed a little embarrassed and whispered an invitation to the boy.

"I feel bad asking you to pay, so I'll pay. Okay, let's go to that coffee shop. The desserts there are really good, and I think you'll like them too."

After thinking for a while, Yuki looked towards the coffee shop with a red sign.

"Then let's do it. I'll follow Yuki-kun's instructions."

Minato put on a face that said "let it be" and confirmed Yuuki's idea.

So, the two of them walked into the store together, found a seat near the window, and sat down. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came to the seats of the two boys and girls with the menu and spoke with his signature smile.

"What would you like to order, ladies and gentlemen?"

After looking at the catalogue two or three times, the boy had already decided on the dessert he wanted to order.

"I just want coffee and cake, no sugar in the coffee."

The boy likes the bitter taste of coffee, so when he drinks coffee, he never adds sugar to affect the unique taste of coffee.

"Well, I'll do the same, but add a little sugar to your coffee."

"Okay, would you two like to try today's special? A peach-flavored sundae, specially prepared for couples."

The waitress turned the catalog in the boy's hand to the last page in a voice full of energy. The four big words "Exclusively for Lovers" on it made both of them blush.

"We're not in that relationship yet."

The boy scratched his face and shifted his gaze to the girl's equally red face.

"Yeah, just potential lovers."

"Alas, are we still just potential lovers? That's really rude, but you two are a perfect match. After eating this sundae, you'll become lovers, right?"

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

"Yuuki-kun..."

"Yes, I'll be right there. Please be patient and wait for a moment."

The energetic waiter quickly wrote on a piece of paper and left Yuki and the others' seat.

The awkward atmosphere made the two of them not know what to say. The blush on their faces was a reflection of their immaturity. After all, neither of them had any experience with this kind of thing.

"What I just meant"

Yuuki was the first to break the awkward atmosphere.

"No, there's nothing special about it. Naruse-san wouldn't want to hear such an ambiguous answer, right? I'll give you a clear answer in the end."

After their eyes met, Yuuki began to explain hurriedly.

"Well, I won't accept it if it ends this way. Tell me properly in the end, Yuki's answer."

in fact.

The boy had already prepared his response in his heart.

However, he was afraid. He was afraid that his answer would hurt the girl's heart.

after all--

The boy hesitated for a long time, but decided to end with the worst answer.

He couldn't give the girl the heartbeat she wanted.

so--

The boy stared at the blue sky with gloomy eyes.

The girl sitting nearby took all of this in, and she seemed to understand something, so she lowered her gaze.

but--

In order to prevent the boy from noticing, he could only pat his cheeks and force himself to cheer up.

"We'll talk about that time later. Where are we going next?"

We can talk about things from that time later. This sentence was not only said to Yuki, but also to himself.

"That's right. Coincidentally, there's a movie based on this novel showing at the cinema. Do you want to go see it?"

Yuki pulled a novel from his bag. The title, written in kanji and katakana, was "Green Youth." It focused on the dilemma faced by two lovers as they were about to go their separate ways or choose a long-distance relationship. The article centered around this question.

"I really need to go see the movie based on this book. I love it so much. Thank you, Yuki-kun."

After they left the coffee shop, they went straight to the cinema. When their two hearts, which had been separated since high school and had drifted apart, were pulled together again, the girl was so moved that she cried.

Even in the dark theater, the boy saw the crystal tears flowing down the girl's face.

"It's already this time before I knew it—"

The girl hunched her body, her chestnut-colored hair hanging down slightly.

"Next, it's time to say goodbye."

Chapter 5: The unexpected result of the date is...!?

The setting sun was casting its shadow on the street. Actually, watching a movie only took two hours. After lunch, the girl watched all the movies related to the book, so it was delayed until this time.

"Well, can I have some hope at the end?"

The girl blinked playfully and stared at Yuuki.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't think this answer is what you want-"

The young man clenched his fists as if taking an oath.

"Ah, I know. As expected, I'm not suitable. I'm not suitable to be by your side."

As if she already knew it, the girl lowered her eyes, and the hat covered her eyes so that Yuuki could not see the girl's expression. The only thing he could tell was that the girl was very sad.

"No, that's not the case. I'm not worthy of you. You're different from me. You have your own shining points. Also, both academically and athletically, you're many times better than me. So—"

"Is it not okay if it's not ordinary?"

The girl interrupted Yuuki and ran past him quickly. However, Yuuki did not stop her. He had no right to stop her. He had already rejected the girl and did not have any rights.

Yuuki pressed his body against the wall and punched it.

Then, the body gradually sat down on the ground.

The boy discovered something that the girl had left behind and reached out to pick up the silver hair accessory.

It’s me—

Too cowardly.

It’s me—

afraid of losing.

He rejected the girl.

After all, the boy is just a coward.

"go home……"

The boy walked slowly towards his home on the slope in the sunset.

However, the boy did not forget that there was another trouble at home, and he just wanted to lie on the bed and relax his tired body and mind.

"I'm back--"

When Yuki walked into the house, Yukari had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him at the dining table. She was sending him an email on her cell phone, but Yuki, who didn't use his cell phone often, didn't see the email.

"So slow!! Are you so happy on a date?"

"That's about the same."

"That's almost what I mean! It's rare that I help you cook."

The black-haired girl stood in the corridor, puffing her cheeks and looking very angry.

"That's true, thank you, Yukari—"

"Hmph, I didn't make this for you! Go and eat it with gratitude."

Hearing Yuuki's praise, the girl blushed shyly. In order to hide this, she walked into the living room with the lights on.

Yuki also walked in, but what he didn't expect was——

The food was so well-made that it was hard to imagine it was made by a young girl.

"Did you make all of this?"

"That's right, isn't it amazing?"

"You're indeed amazing, but I didn't realize you had this kind of talent. I haven't noticed it before."

"That's just because I don't want to do it, but if Onii-chan wants, I'll make it for you every day after tonight."

For some reason, the girl emphasized tonight, her smile full of allure. Yuuki actually found his unusual sister quite cute.

"Never mind that. Come on and try it. Eat it all."

"Oh, I know."

Yuuki put the meatball into his mouth with a spoon. Although the taste was just average, Yuuki still said it was delicious and finished the food on the table under the gaze of the girl (who was monitoring him?).

"Aha--"

When you soak your body in the steaming hot water, both physical and mental fatigue are relieved.

Yukari——

Yuuki stared at his palms.

A few years ago, a young boy witnessed the moment his sister was about to be hit by a car. At that moment, the boy reached out his hand to the girl and then lost consciousness.

When he woke up, the sister he was worried about was safe and sound. She seemed to be talking to her parents, but the conversation stopped after the boy woke up.

Ever since that time, his sister seemed to be at a certain distance from the boy.

Until this change in attitude, Yuuki didn't understand what Yukari, his younger sister, had talked about with his parents.

After the boy soaked for a while, he felt sleepiness taking over his brain.

——I hope he got soaked to death.

How could his body be so weak? Yuuki stood up, wrapped himself in a bath towel, walked up the stairs, and shouted to the girl who was watching TV in the living room.

"Yukari, I've already made some. Also, I'm tired, so I'll go to bed early tonight. Good night."

Unable to get a response from the girl, Yuki returned to his room, dried himself, and changed into his sportswear. He even locked the door just in case.

After drying my hair with a hair dryer, I lay down on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and slowly fell asleep.

Even Yuki himself was surprised at how fast he slept today, but he still didn't care.

——Maybe too many things happened today.

Thinking of this, the young man fell into a deep sleep.
