A passionate daily life starting from the Tachibana family

The two of them look so intimate that even an outsider can tell that they have a good relationship.

Walking on the left side of Otome was Chifuyu Tsukimi, who had a faint smile on her face and asked and answered questions from time to time.

Although her attitude towards Otome was not as intimate as Rinka's, but seeing her smile naturally and not appearing to be shy, it was obvious that she was quite happy getting along with Otome and the others.

"Guest, your grilled rice cake balls and takoyaki."

"Well, okay, thank you."

He turned his head and took the hot snack.

After Sasaki paid the money, he ate rice cake balls and followed them not far away, eavesdropping on their conversation.

But most of them are topics between little girls, which are a bit boring for boys.

At least for Sasaki, topics such as cell phone stickers and schoolbag pendants did not arouse his interest.

But that's fine too.

At least it could distract Rinka from doing something that would frighten her.

Just when Sasaki was thinking this.

Okino Rinka, who had been honest for a long time, began to be unable to restrain herself.

After saying, "The daifuku of the shop next to me is also pretty good," Okino Rinka rolled his eyes and shook Sakuragi Otome's arm in his arms:

"Otome-sama, should we bring some food to Fuyumi-nii?"

"Fuyumi...he doesn't like eating anything too sweet."

After responding softly, Sakuragi Otome glanced at the food stall on the roadside:

"But it would be nice to bring some takoyaki for Fuyumi, he likes to eat that."

Hearing the familiar names between the two of them, Chifuyu Tsukimi, whose curiosity was constantly surging in her heart, rarely intervened.

"Well, the winter you are talking about is..."

"Hmm... she's our childhood sweetheart ~ her name is Sasaki Fuyumi, what do you think? Do you know Chifuyu-san?"

It seemed that the conversation was suddenly interrupted and he was stunned for a moment.

Okino Rinka, who had known that she would ask, twitched the corners of her lips in a subtle way, and used the prepared words to explain before Sister Otome opened her mouth.

Because her purpose was just to give Brother Fuyumi some assistance, not to ruin the relationship between them.

So she didn't mention the fact that Otome is Fuyumi's lover.

And after she has already explained it, Sister Otome will definitely not add anything more.

What's more, Otome-san is far more concerned about this issue than she is, so she is even less likely to care about these details.

As Okino Rinka expected, after she asked in reply, she could clearly see Otome sister's eyes shifting from the roadside food stall to Tsukimi Chifuyu.

That straight gaze seemed to be very interested in the answer to this question.

The first time she learned about Fuyumi's interpersonal relationship, Chifuyu Tsukimi was stunned for a moment just because of surprise. Then she followed what Fuyumi had told her before and talked about her relationship with him in front of outsiders.

"We know each other, me, he and I are classmates, um... we are in the same class, so we have talked a lot."

Although I think it’s okay to admit that I am friends with Fuyumi in front of the two girls, maybe it can deepen the relationship between them.

But Chifuyu Tsukimi, who is timid and obedient, doesn't like to act smart.

She was often shunned by others before, but she always held the philosophy of 'do less and make fewer mistakes'.

Rather than gaining the favor of new friends, it was more in line with her heart to avoid causing trouble to Fuyumi.

"That's right. What a coincidence."

Not surprised by Chifuyu Tsukimi's answer, Rinka Okino responded with a smile.

If she was alone with Chifuyu Tsukimi, Okino Rinka would have to ask a few more questions to find out the relationship between them.

Because she had seen the two of them holding hands.

She would not believe that the relationship between the two was just ordinary classmates, front and back.

What about fooling the ghost?

However, because Sister Otome was by her side, Okino Rinka just stopped and stopped asking any more questions.

Her purpose is just to let Sister Otome know where the relationship between Chifuyu Tsukimi and Brother Fuyumi has progressed.

It's good to be mentally prepared.

To prevent the suspicion and anxiety in her heart from accumulating and forming uncontrollable dissatisfaction.

After all, ordinary girls cannot accept the act of sharing their lover.

Although Otome-san has a gentle temperament, treats others well, and is an 'honest person' among girls, honest people also have tempers.

If you rely on Otome-san to be an honest person and turn a blind eye or listen to her feelings, then there will be big problems.

Otome-san is a girl and is thin-skinned, so it’s not easy for her to ask about Fuyumi-nii’s progress with other girls.

As the tolerated one, Fuyumi-san will be twice as kind to Otome-san.

But because of the face and the guilt in his heart, he would definitely not mention the situation between himself and other girls in front of Sister Otome.

But you know, they are in the same club.

It is simply impossible to turn a blind eye to what you see when you look down every day.

It is impossible to be out of sight and out of mind, and curiosity will naturally arise in your heart.

But if curiosity is not satisfied, it will turn into dissatisfaction.

If dissatisfaction accumulates too much, resentment will arise.

This is not conducive to the relationship between Otome-san and Fuyumi-san.

And Sister Otome invited Tsukimi because she couldn't restrain her curiosity, right?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain that two people who were not familiar with each other would suddenly get together and say they were going to eat waffles.

But she was halfway through the journey and had found many topics to talk about, but she still didn't see that Otome-san had any intention of opening her mouth to ask.

Since Sister Otome is embarrassed, her younger sister can only share her worries.

But it can only help so far, and asking any more questions would be crossing the line.

So after Okino Rinka responded, she quickly changed the topic to prevent Otome-san from being unable to control herself and asking more questions about what would embarrass Tsukimi.

But her worries didn't come true.

After hearing Chifuyu Tsukimi's answer, Sister Otome didn't show any expression of relief or doubt.

He just naturally looked away and joined his conversation with Tsukimi with a smile.

Okino Rinka secretly sighed at Sister Otome's impeccable performance, with no problems at all.

'Otome-san is pretending...'

Although he was extremely curious, he still pretended not to care.

In the end, I need to help myself...really.

Holding the arms in her arms a little tighter, Okino Rinka jumped up and picked up the conversation.

And Sasaki, who was not far behind them, swallowed the rice cake dumplings in his mouth without laughing or crying.

Although he couldn't understand Linhua's operations, he could feel that she was helping him.

It was just the way of helping that made Sasaki a little frightened.

If he hadn't explained it to the idiot Chifuyu, the two of them would have been just friends in front of outsiders.

Or maybe Otome didn't push Rinka to her, and was still wary of the sneaky cat outside.

Then Sasaki will be finished today.

With Otome paying close attention, the idiot Chifuyu couldn't bear to ask further questions.

After two or three sentences at most, she would show her flaws due to her nervousness.

But okay.

Otome's goal has changed from guarding against outsiders to improving friendly forces.

In addition, Sasaki had already confessed that he and Chifuyu Tsukimi were classmates, so he had overcome this hurdle.

The next step is to find ways to improve their friendship.

As long as they treat each other as friends from the bottom of their hearts.

Otome might also draw Tsukimi into her camp.

After all, Rinka's... plain-level combat power doesn't give Otome much sense of security.

Pick up a bamboo skewer and pierce the takoyaki in a disposable lunch box.

Sasaki stood on the roadside, eating takoyaki, watching Otome and the others enter the cake shop, thinking about ways to improve the friendship between the three of them.

If he were asked to find a way to improve the relationship between men and women, it would be too simple for him.

But to help improve friendship between girls...

He shook his head to get rid of the jenga that suddenly appeared in his mind.

Sasaki swallowed the takoyaki and smacked his lips in distress:

"If girls can be heroes and save...wait...who says they can't!"

Sasaki's eyes lit up when he found the method.

He threw the finished takoyaki into the trash can nearby. While wiping his mouth with paper, he looked up and looked for his helper.

Because now is the time when most clubs are ending their activities.

It can be regarded as the second time after school, so there are many students on this path.

And when there are more students, there are also a lot of unscrupulous students from other schools.

He's the kind of guy who either has colorfully dyed hair or weird hairstyles and a smug look on his face.

As for this kind of guy, if he finds a place at random, ordinary students would have to take a detour with their heads down.

So where they are, they are very conspicuous.

At this time, not too far away from Sasaki, there were four delinquents standing on the roadside, laughing and playing.

Because they are still students after all, so apart from making louder noises when playing, behaving in a sly manner, and speaking treacherously, they don't have any behavior that involves talking nonsense.

But these alone are enough for ordinary students to stay away from them.

And the helpers Sasaki mentioned were these guys.

Throwing the oil-stained tissue in his hand into the trash can, Sasaki walked slowly to one of them with his schoolbag in hand.

"Ok?"

Noticing that his vision suddenly darkened, Shoda Tsukasa, who was squatting on the side of the road playing with his mobile phone, frowned in dissatisfaction and cursed with a flick of his tongue:

"Ida, please get out of your way. You are blocking the light. Are you itchy?"

"Ah?" Not far from him, a fat man who was eating oden raised his head in confusion.

Hearing the voice of his companion beside him, Shodaji knew that someone was looking for trouble. He frowned and turned his head in displeasure:

"Hey, you kid, get out of here before I get angry, otherwise..."

Not paying attention to the other people approaching him, Sasaki squatted down, took out a few Fukuzawa Yukichi cards from his arms, and handed them to the bad guy with a kind expression:

"Are you interested in letting you teach someone a lesson?"

Shodaji, who was combing his hair, did not change his posture while sitting on the ground, but his eyes dropped a little involuntarily.

Looking at Fukuzawa Yukichi who was handed it to him, and smelling the refreshing smell of ink on it, Masada Tsukasa's unhappy expression mostly disappeared and turned into a chuckle.

"Huh~"

"It turns out to be the boss. Who does the boss want to teach him a lesson? How heavy a blow is needed? If he needs to be beaten and hospitalized..."

"You don't need to be hospitalized. You're just an ordinary high school girl. Just slap her a few times."

Sasaki, who shook his head and just hoped that they would not be hospitalized, looked at the disdain and contempt on his face, hesitated for a moment, and then reminded him aloud:
