Reincarnated as My Little Sister

For some reason, it was more noisy than usual at school.

Leaving my bag on my chair, I approached Yuna-chan’s seat and asked for the reason.

 

“Hey, it’s more noisy than usual, so what’s up?”

 

“I heard that a transfer student is coming. Well, not today is what it seems.”

 

So that’s why.

But, to transfer halfway through the semester.

I wonder if it’s due to their parent’s circumstances or something.

 

Huh? Come to think of it, Kouyou also said that a transfer student was coming to his high school.

Well, it’s probably a coincidence.

 

“Because of that, it’s a little different than usual, right?”

 

“That’s pretty much it. But, it’s common that transfer students come, but they’re talking about things like ‘it’d be nice if it was a cool guy,’ or ‘a cute girl would be nice.’”

 

Ah~ the usual conversations.

However, it’s kinda annoying when people keep getting their hopes up when a transfer student is coming.

 

“If I were a transfer student, I wouldn’t be able to handle it. Huh? Since they’re talking about those things, is the transfer student thing just a rumor?”

 

“It seems like it. I don’t know which classmate it is, but it seems like they heard a teacher’s conversation on accident.”

 

Ah, eavesdropping is it?

Then, we won’t know which class they’re going to come to…

 

“Then, isn’t there a chance of it being a mistake?”

 

“It’s quite high. Well, even if it’s the truth, I don’t have any particular expectations or interest.”

 

“Yuna-chan, you feel like a cold adult, somewhat.”

 

If I were still a middle school student, I wonder if I’ll be a bit more excited like everyone else.

 

“It’s not like that. Anyways, you’re saying that. You seemed not to care at all, no?”

 

“Ahaha, I’m just normal.”

 

Pandas only have panda friends, is it…No, we’re not pandas.1

However, if the transfer student is real, maybe I’ll be looking forward to it a bit.

 

　◆◇◆◇◆◇

 

I noticed that the lending period for a book that I borrowed from the library a while back was approaching. So, I hurried to the library.

No matter how many times I come here, the library calms me down.

 

“Oh, Yuuyami.”

 

The one that was there was Ran-senpai.[/note]Cloud (the other TL) seems to think that her name is Ai. It’s honestly getting annoying to change every reference of “Ai-senpai” to “Ran-senpai.” To be fair, “Ran” means indigo and is commonly read as “Ai,” but there’s a glossary for a reason. /end rant[/note]

The same thing happened the last time, but I wonder if it’s normal to meet two times by chance!?2

To meet the person that I never meet at the library, Ran-senpai, two times.

Am I lucky, or unlucky…

 

“Ran-senpai!? Why are you here?”

 

“It’s that same reaction again. I’m slightly curious for that, but well, it’s fine. The reason is that I forgot the deadline for the books was almost here.”3

 

Senpai as well…?

Well, it can’t be helped right.

 

“Ah, was it the books for your cousin from last time?”

 

“Yeah. By the way, it was a pain to bring the book today, so I brought my the younger brother of the cousins over to bring the book.”45

 

The eternal sloth, Ran-senpai.

It must be hard for the younger brother…

 

Anyways, her cousins are coming today, I see.

 

“Did your cousins also come and stay at your house today?”

 

“No, not exactly since my cousins are moving in nearby. It was a perfect arrangement, so I made him run some errands.”

 

How pitiful it must be to be forced to run errands immediately after moving.

 

“I-Is that so…”

 

“Well then, I’m going home. See you at club again.”

 

“Yes, see you again.”

 

As she said that, I parted from Ran-senpai.

It seems like the cousins like books, and I’d like to try to meet them if they moved nearby. 6

 

Literal translation: Similar people become close, something like that…No, we’re not similar, I think.Did you forget that she borrowed books the same time as you, Naru-chan? The return date would be the SAME. Naru-chan, you said it yourself that Kawanari Ran is a sloth. A sloth returning books early means that the apocalypse was coming. Think a bit, you braindead main character.I knew it.(Cloud) This is probably important foreshadowing, so I thought I better explain it. The author uses the term 従姉弟 (itoko) for cousins. In Japanese, this pair of characters would mean that there’s a female and male cousin pair (meaning the cousins are siblings), where the female is older than the speaker (Ai-senpai) and the male is younger than the speaker (Ai-senpai).(Lys) It’s not Ai-senpai, it’s Ran-senpai.EVERYONE’S COUNTING ON ME TO BE A SLOTH FOR ETERNITY I HOPE THAT I CAN SLACK OFF BEFORE THE TEST I WON’T WORK HARD AND NEVER TRY MY BEST IT’S SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY IN THE DORMITORY AND BE A SUPER MOE AND GENERIC LOLI I WANNA DO SOMETHING FOR YOU ONII-CHAN SAY I GASPED AND SAID WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ON THE BED OH NO OH NO POMF POMF KIMOCHI WHAT’S THIS STICKY STUFF ON ME THEY PLAY WITH ME UNTIL I SMELL LIKE SALTY COINS AND MILK MORNING EVERYONE TODAY WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF FUN UGYUU AM I CUTE IN MY FAVORITE SWIMSUIT POMF POMF WANNA STAY AND PLAY THIS POP-UP PIRATE GAME STOP STOP TOUCHING ME IT’S MAKING ME FEEL ALL FUNNY NII-CHAN I LOVE YOU BUT PLEASE STOP SMELLING MY PANTSU~
