To ease Fuyu’s mind, I turned to the little girl and shook my head, “No, I’m not. But I’m her friend.”
The little girl first furrowed her brows, unconvinced by my answer. But then, her mouth turned to ‘O’ shape as though she got hit by a realization. “Friend? Ah! I know, onee-chan still hasn’t said yes to you. Don’t worry, nii-chan, my onee-chan is just very shy. Ehe.”
“Fubuki?! Stop with that. I’m not shy.”
Fuyu reacted once again by covering the little girl’s mouth. However, the girl skillfully dodged it by ducking before turning to her older sister.
“Yes, you are. Mama said it! She said you have this boy you always talk about but you’re too shy to tell him you like him.”
Fuyu’s mother… I haven’t met you yet but what kind of things are you teaching your kindergarten daughter?
But that’s an interesting bit. So, Fuyu has someone she likes, huh? That doesn’t happen to be me, right? There’s just no way… She’s probably lying.
