Sara and I walked side by side to the school.

 

It was about a twenty minute walk from our house to campus.

 

“It’s been a long time since I last accompanied another person to school.”

 

“Hmmm, me too.”

 

Sara said and smiled.

 

How cute. If Sara gets a boyfriend, what will happen to me?

 

Is this how a father feels when he marries off his daughter?

 

While thinking about such trivial things and chatting with Sara, we reached school.

 

Naturally, gaze lay on us.  

 

“Are we being watched?”

 

“Yes, we are.”

 

I know the reason.

 

No matter what, Sara was an extremely beautiful girl.

 

I was also quite popular at school.

 

I was the head of the calligraphy club, and had won many top prizes in competitions.

 

— “What’s up with that girl, isn’t she really cute?”

 

— “Oh, was there ever a girl like her at our school?”

 

— “Maybe she’s a transfer. That’s Tojo next to her.”

 

— “If she’s Tojo’s girlfriend, we can’t touch her.”

 

I could hear the voices of the boys around me.

 

“Ohayou!”

 

I was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind.

 

“What is it, Rio? Don’t scare me like that.”

 

Rio Nemoto was in my class, and the vice president of the calligraphy club.

 

She was energetic as well as being very popular in her class.

 

“Nani, Nani. Who is this beautiful girl that I’m talking to in the morning? She is very beautiful.”

 

“Whether she is beautiful or not, this is Sara, my sister.”

 

“Nii-San …?”

 

Sara gave me a questioning look.

 

“Oh, sorry. This is Rio Nemoto. She’s in my class, also the vice president of the calligraphy club.”

 

“Nice to meet you.”

 

“I’m Tojo Sara. I just transferred here today.”

 

Sara bowed her head.

 

After that, the three of us walked to school together.

 

The way others looked at me as I walked to school, sandwiched between two beautiful girls, was extremely uncomfortable.

 

“Well then, Nii-San, I’ve been told to go to the teachers’ lounge first.”

 

“Oh, okay. I’ll see you later.”

 

I left Sara in front of the shoe locker and walked to the classroom with Rio.

 

“When did you get a sister, Haruki?”

 

“Oh, my father remarried, and she’s my new mother’s daughter.”

 

“I see. You’re lucky to have such a beautiful girl as a sister.”

 

“Yeah, well…”

 

After this conversation, I went to my seat.

 

Then — morning homeroom began.

 

“Well, there’s a new student here today, so let me introduce her to you.”

 

I didn’t think it was possible.

 

But apparently I was wrong.

 

“Come on in.”

 

The door to the classroom opened at the teacher’s instruction and there was Sara.

 

She was my younger sister because of her birthday, but I had forgotten that we were in the same grade.

 

The teacher wrote “Tojo Sara” on the blackboard.

 

“It’s nice to meet you, I’m Sara Tojo.”

 

At these words, the classroom was in uproar.

 

Some classmates stared at me.

 

“Some of you may have noticed, but Sara-san is Tojo’s sister. Everyone, try to get along with her.”

 

After those were spoken, the classroom became even more chaotic.

 

Well, that was okay, because it would have eventually been revealed sooner or later.

 

“Sara-san, you can take the seat behind Rio.”

 

“Okay. Yes, I understand.”

 

Sara sat on the seat she was instructed to take.

 

She smiled at me.

 

“Ha~ I wonder what my high school life will be like from now on.”

 

I pondered as I looked out the window.
