205 – Little Sister Returns

There is only about a week left before the long-awaited sports meet.

The hidden ambush of the midterm exams awaits right after the fun sports meet, but that is in the distant future.

For high school students in their prime, sports competitions are one of the last chances to enjoy the fiery youth.

… In fact, there have been several opportunities so far.

Forest school, summer vacation, field trip.

Both are very important events in school life.

However, in the end, only those who will become the world will become.

There are people who can get a girlfriend even if they don’t put much effort into it, and there are people who can’t get a girlfriend even if they put in a lot of effort.

I didn’t have to go far, if I were to look for examples near me, there were Ryuji and Satoru.

Anyway, there wasn’t much reason for the male students to risk their lives in this sports meet.

To gain popularity among female students by emphasizing one’s masculinity.

I don’t know how useful that would actually be, but it’s probably better than doing nothing.

“Then this meeting is over.”

The meeting where the class presidents of each class were convened in preparation for the sports meet ended in about an hour.

I, who led the meeting as the student council secretary and mood maker, sighed with relief as soon as I put down the chalk.

The president, who was sitting at the top of the table and making a solemn pose, looked at me and said.

“You did a good job today too. Yuseong-kun.”

“Nothing.”

“It was originally Shinji’s job, but I’m sorry I left everything to you.”

“It’s okay. It’s not too difficult.”

After saying that, I looked at Minami next to me with a sense of humility.

“I’m sorry that Minami did my job as a clerk instead.”

“…I recorded all the minutes of the meeting. I cut the agenda that was needlessly rushed in the middle.”

Great.

As expected, Minami, it was an elite Kunoichi-style job.

Upon receiving the manuscript that Minami handed over, the president arranged it by tapping it on her desk, then told the class presidents who were exhausted from the meeting.

“Then let’s break up for today. Thank you all for your hard work.”

With the chairman’s order to disperse, the class presidents, who were drooping, left the conference room, chattering loudly as if they were always like that.

When the conference room became empty, naturally only the student council members remained, so I asked the president.

“What will the chairman do now?”

“Me? I’m thinking of going back to class and finishing my studies. Now, the college entrance exam is just around the corner.”

Well, the date is already October.

There are only a few months left until the center exam.

Even the president, who treats the head of the school year like a meal, must have been in a nervous mood.

“Then I’ll go back to twenty and a half.”

“Okay. Then I’ll see you at home in the evening.”

Originally, he is the president who tried to keep me in the student council room somehow, but after we started living together, that temperament disappeared.

It’s probably because I’m sure that even if we part here, we’ll meet again at home.

As I was about to open the door to the meeting room and leave, the chairman asked, as if he had just remembered.

“Come to think of it, Yooseong-kun.”

“Yes?”

“What do you think about Japan’s low birth rate?”

“Suddenly?”

“It’s because it’s a topic that came up while solving essay questions this time.

Is it a low birth rate?

Honestly, I think that making children is a story in the distant future, so I can only give textbook answers.

“To be honest, I think it’s better to not have children than not to have children when it comes to young people in Japan. For a young couple to have a child and raise it until they reach adulthood, on average, more than 20 million yen is required for child support. If you start going to private tutoring, the cost of raising children will skyrocket. With the lost 30 years, you need to be at least middle class or above to give birth and raise a child in a situation where the salary continues to go sideways. And most of the young people these days It is because they are not included in the middle class. If the state does not provide full support, honestly, there is nothing we can do about it.”

“In other words, if the government pays much more child support than now, people will naturally have children?”

“Yes. To sum it up, yes.”

After hearing my answer, the chairman nodded his head as if it made sense.

Then he immediately brought up a counterargument.

“I think differently.”

“How?”

“I think it will be solved naturally by reviving polygamy, which disappeared in the past. The problem of the low birth rate in modern times.”

“Polygamy?”

I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide when words I had never thought of came out of the president’s mouth.

“Since the current marriage system allows only monogamy, even a man with the ability to do so can only have one wife as his wife. But what if the constitution itself was amended to allow polygamy? How many people do you have and how many wives do you have to work on patriotism?”

“That… Honestly sounds like an unrealistic story.”

“Whoops, it’s just an essay question. You can make a hypothesis this way.”

Though I was surprised by the unexpected side of the chairman who has an American view of marriage, fearing that someone might not be the heroine in a love comedy, I had no choice but to escape the situation with a bitter smile.

Honestly, what can I say about this topic?

If you clap your hands gently, half of it goes.

After school.

It was clear that Rika was still avoiding me outside of school, so she was on her way home alone.

“What? That way…”

I encountered a familiar face on the subway.

Her petite body, orange-colored pigtails, and her assertive teeth, as if saying, “I’m a little devil character.”

She was the younger sister of Ryuji, who is currently at the height of her popularity.

Huh? Why don’t you call her by name and call her sister?

To be honest.

I forgot.

“Not Ryuji’s younger sister. It’s been a while since she was.”

When I calmly greeted you in order not to show off, Ryuji’s sister nodded her head with her calm face and said,

“It’s been a while. You’re senior Kim Yoo-seong, right?”

“Senior?”

“First of all, we go to the same school. I’m in middle school.”

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, Ryuji’s younger sister also went to the same school.

I heard it before, but I didn’t pay much attention to it, so I forgot it.

“Are you on your way home?”

“Yes. I finished a little late today because I had club activities.”

Saying that, she glanced at me and asked.

“…Are you very close with your older brother?”

“Are you close with Ryuji?”

I pondered over Ryuji’s sister’s question.

To be honest, she was on the friendly side.

Because we were helping each other.

“What, all right?”

“Then do you know about the senior named Hattori Ayame who recently transferred?”

“What, isn’t it?”

At one point, we fought against each other because we had different goals, but after the fight in Osaka last time, we fell in love with Ryuji and became allies.

To be honest, I still thought I’d throw the blade in if I needed to, but at least it didn’t seem like it to Ryuji.

Because it was the face of a girl I really loved.

And after hearing my answer, Ryuji’s sister thought hard about something and said to me.

“Senior, if you have time, can you give me some advice?”

“What? Counseling?”

“Yes. Consultation. It only takes a moment.”

While saying that, I looked up at her with sparkling eyes, but she couldn’t bear to refuse the request.

‘What is it? What about this cute creature?’

I was a man who was very weak in cute things.

***

Sakamoto Yuika, Ryuji’s younger sister.

I came up with her name late, but in the original Scramble Love, she was originally the 3rd most popular heroine.

Rika and Sasha are right next to each other.

How can a real sister be a heroine, not even a half-brother?

Don’t ask me about that. In Japanese love comedies, the younger sister is usually treated as the heroine.

Of course, as long as they are of the same blood, it is the younger sister heroine who is expected to lose, but very occasionally, when the writer leaves, there is an incestuous ending, so I couldn’t be careless.

Anyway, I didn’t expect that Yuika would suddenly consult with me.

It wasn’t that there was a separate point of contact, and at most Ryuji was the only point of connection between me and her.

However, today’s counseling was because of ‘Ryuji’.

“So, you want to know why your brother suddenly became popular?”

“Yes.”

A cafe near my house.

Actually, Ryuji’s house and my house are at most one block apart, so it could be said that it was a cafe near Ryuji’s house.

“That’s right. The reason for its popularity.”

To be honest, there were too many things to pick up.

No, Ryuji is originally the main character of Scramble Love.

Her school grades are average, but she has a righteous heart, an above-average face, and a likable personality.

On top of that, now the ghost of Egypt and the ghost of his childhood friend are giving buffs that boost yang and yin energy, respectively, so his strength was also very good.

It might be scary if you turn it into an enemy, but it’s the most reliable type as an ally.

But this isn’t the answer Ryuji’s younger sister, Yuika, wants from me right now.

I said after rolling my head for a while.

“Don’t you know better than I do? We’re family.”

Then, Yuika nodded her head as if she had waited.

“Well, he’s that ‘older brother.’

“…….”

No, to be treated like this even by her sister, what the hell was Ryuji doing?
