Classmate wa Isekai de Yuusha ni Natta kedo, Ore dake Gendai Nihon ni Okizari ni Narimashita - Chapter 120

Chapter 120: I Ended Up Introducing Her to My Little Sister (Part 2)

“Attention, bow!”

“Thank you very much!”

As I gave the daily class command, the after-school SHR ended, and while classmates left the classroom, I slumped onto my desk with a big sigh, staring at the sheets for the social studies field trip report that our group leaders had to submit within the week.

“...Shu-kun, are you okay?”

“I’m probably not that okay…”

In the end, whether intentional or not, I couldn’t resist the flow that Kentaro had created, and I found myself reluctantly raising my hand as the next group leader.

…Well, part of it was also that I didn’t want to burden Kyori too much.

Anyway, what I have to think about is leading the middle schoolers and making sure everyone writes their report properly after the trip.

Luckily, our group submits assignments on time, so aside from the wild card that is Kentaro, I’m not too worried about that part.

And I should be able to pressure Kentaro through messages if needed.

The real problem is how to handle the middle schoolers.

They’re only two years younger than me, and my little sister is even in their group.

I have no idea how to deal with them.

And, annoyingly, I am supposed to be the leader of this joint middle school–high school group.

“Sigh…”

I can only sigh.

I thought the Alicia matter was finally settled, but now I’m troubled by normal human problems.

“Um, if you want, I can help you out. I may say this myself, but I’m pretty experienced with being in charge compared to others.”

Kyori offered.

“...Is that okay?”

“Well, if I had insisted on being the leader from the start, you wouldn’t be so troubled now. Besides… I don’t want to spend less time with you.”

Kyori’s cheeks flushed as she said this, and I could tell this “offer” embarrassed her.

But as she said, I also don’t want to spend less time with her because of worries about leading the field trip.

I didn’t want to burden her too much, but I think I’ll accept this invitation honestly.

“Then Kyori-sensei, I’ll be counting on your guidance.”

“I accept. And please stop calling me ‘sensei’—it’s embarrassing. …So, where shall we hold the consultation?”

“Hmm, how about my place?”

“Y-your house!?”

“I also want to spend time alone with you again, and my family won’t be back until 8 p.m., so it’s a good chance. Of course, if you don’t want to, we can find somewhere else—”

“N-no, I don’t mind! Please!”

“O-okay. Then, consultation at my place after this. I’ll submit the journal to the teacher, so you go ahead to the school gate first.”

“Yes!”

I was a bit surprised by how eagerly Kyori accepted, but I was glad I could be alone with her.

Last time she came over, the incident with Ikoma-senpai and test prep took up most of the time, so we didn’t get to really be close.

This time, I want to just enjoy being with her, without thinking about the field trip.

Besides, like I told her, my dad won’t be home, Kana is at the dojo, and I’ve finished shopping, so we’ll have some relaxed time.

“Heh, you seem in a good mood compared to before, Shu.”

“Whoa! Don’t sneak up on me like that, Kentaro…”

Just as I finished writing the journal and was about to take it to the staff room, Kentaro came up grinning.

“Lucky you—being alone with Kuon-san at your house. I’m so jealous.”

“...You can switch with me as leader right now, you know?”

“No way! School’s stressful enough; after school I just want to hang out carefree.”

Kentaro packed his stuff and hurriedly left the classroom.

He just said what he wanted and ran off... Next time something troublesome comes up, I’ll definitely drag him into it too…!

(Wait, wait. I have the best event coming up—spending time alone with Kyori. I won’t waste time on him.)

I switched my thoughts and headed to the staff room to submit the journal.

◇◇◇

“Sorry for disturbing you.”

“Please, make yourself comfortable. I’ll go prepare some tea.”

“Thanks.”

After submitting the journal to Mr. Kosumi, I met up with Kyori, and after a short walk, invited her into my house.

This second time, Kyori seemed much less nervous.

She was already organizing the social studies field trip materials laid out on the living room table.

“Here’s some tea. I only had green tea, hope that’s okay?”

“It’s fine. Thank you.”

“Ah, alright.”

Kyori smiled warmly as she took the cup and snacks from me.

Her cuteness made my heart skip a beat as I sat across from her.

“Well, first we should think about preventing any trouble between our group and the middle schoolers, right?”

“Yes. To do that, it would help to know your sister better... So, what’s your relationship with your siblings like?”

“Relationship… probably normal. She used to be a bit clingy, but not anymore.”

Well, after the teleportation accident that sent me to the hospital, she was really worried and still responds normally when I talk to her, so it’s not bad.

“...I see. So what kind of person is your sister?”

“Kana? Hmm, she’s a bit strong-willed. Other than that, just a normal girl.”

“I see, I see…”

Kyori diligently wrote notes on her notepad.

Seeing this, I wondered if it would have been better for her to be the leader after all.

Just as I was about to think that—

Click.

“Ah!?”

Suddenly, I heard the front door unlocking.

I immediately went on alert, ready to defend.

Between Alicia’s incident yesterday, Mr. Kosumi this morning, and now, I’m caught up in a lot of troublesome stuff.

And I know that the organization Alicia belonged to is powerful and capable of anything.

So I was instantly wary, but my worry was soon unfounded.

“I'm home. I was thirsty, so grabbed some juice—Huh?”

“U-um, sorry to intrude…”

My sister Kana, completely relaxed, entered the living room and froze when she saw Kyori sitting there in her uniform with me.
