“Well, if you get together with those girls, I’ll have three cute little sisters!”
Ah… so there was that kind of ambition after all.
But my sister is really cheering me on from the bottom of her heart… and above all, because she loves Matsuri and the others too, that’s why she’s saying all this.
“That said, you’ll probably have to hide it to some extent, so if anything comes up, come tell me anytime. I’ll help you all.”
“Yeah!”
Seriously, thanks nee-chan!
When I hugged my sister tightly to show my joy and gratitude with my whole body, I got smacked… how vexing.
“…Hmm?”
“Oh, a phone call?”
As I was rubbing the spot where I got hit, my phone received a call.
I wonder who it is, and when I check, Matsuri’s name is on the screen… whoa, a call at the most perfect timing…!
“Hello?”
[Ah, hello Kai-kun! Good afternoon! Or wait, were you maybe sleeping? If so, good morning!]
By the way, for some reason it’s on speaker, and Matsuri’s high-tension voice echoes throughout the entire room, making me exchange glances with my sister, both of us tilting our heads wondering what’s up.
“Your tension’s high, isn’t it?”
[Ahaha! Sorry, sorry. Actually, I’m at karaoke right now. We just entered the place, but I got excited since it’s been a while]
“I see.”
Apparently Matsuri is at karaoke now.
[And so? I was originally planning to go alone, but I ran into Saika and Emu-chan on the way and we joined up]
[Kai-kun, can you hear me?]
[Kai-senpai, can you hear me?]
Oh, all three of them are there.
While thinking that with all three together it’s probably going to get noisy, the thought of busty beauties like Matsuri and the others being in a private karaoke room… just that image alone feels very erotic.
“………………”
That said, I’m getting a bit nervous even from just their voices.
That’s because I just had that thing with Saika, and I was just thinking about them non-stop until a moment ago.
[Kai-kun?]
“A-ah, sorry. Still, it’s pretty amazing that the three of you met by coincidence, huh?”
From the flow of the conversation, it doesn’t seem like it was arranged, so for the three of them to meet is quite a coincidence.
[Right~?]
…Which means the three of them are together now.
I’d like to meet them now that I’m somewhat resolved… but still, asking if I can go to a girls-only space is incredibly embarrassing.
I should… I should hold back.
That’s what I thought, but then an unexpected proposal flew out of Matsuri’s mouth.
[The reason I called you is this. Why don’t you come here now? Want to spend time together?]
“…Huh?”
While it was what I wanted, the sudden proposal made me freeze.
However, what rebooted me from that pathetic frozen state was my sister smacking my back hard.
“Come on, go.”
At the whisper in my ear that Matsuri and the others can’t hear, I nod strongly.
“Got it. I want to spend time with everyone too… and I have something I want to tell you, so I’ll head over there.”
[…! Yeah! I’ll be waiting!]
With that, the call ends for now, and I exhale with a “phew.”
“Fufu♪ You said you have something you want to tell them, didn’t you? Cutting off your own escape route—how manly.”
“Well, momentum is important for these things. If the result is bad, comfort me, nee-chan.”
“That’s impossible. I’m sure the result won’t be bad.”
…Really, I’m no match for you, nee-chan.
When it comes to the power to put me at ease with any words, you’re definitely number one in the whole world.
Of course Mom and Dad are the same, but well, you’re number one, nee-chan.
“All right, I’m heading out!”
Grabbing my phone and wallet, I dash out of my room!
“Wait, Kai.”
“What?!”
“Hurrying is fine, but calm down first—you’re in pajamas right now, you know?”
“…Oops, pardon me.”
I stop my movement like hitting the emergency brake and immediately start getting changed.
Following momentum is sometimes important, but I guess there really are textbook examples of becoming unable to see your surroundings… I’ll be careful.
Soon finishing my preparations, I dash out of my room for real this time.
“See you, nee-chan!”
“Yes, take care.”

I want to see them right now, I want to tell them right now.
That feeling doesn’t change even after leaving the house, and I run toward my destination not caring how much I sweat.
But on the way… when the karaoke place came into view, I encountered a troublesome situation.
“What the heck…?”
Just a short distance from the karaoke shop entrance, there was a brawling fight happening.
“Don’t fuck with me. Putting your hands on my girlfriend!”
“Hah?! It’s your fault for neglecting her!”
From just those two lines, I immediately understood why the fight broke out.
One man had a swollen cheek, and the other had a nosebleed—they’d already traded a punch or two.
The people around were mostly bystanders, and no one was stopping this fight.
Well, no one would want to stick their nose into this kind of commotion… I wouldn’t either.
“…Besides, don’t have a bloody fight in front of kids.”
Just like us, it’s currently summer vacation.
There are naturally many families with children walking around this area, and all of those kids are clinging to their parents in fear.
Those two men absorbed in fighting each other probably can’t see anything around them… sigh, it can’t be helped.
“Partner, lend me your power.”
Taking out my phone, I slowly approach.
Even though many eyes are on the scene, basically if these two go somewhere, the gazes will naturally concentrate there… I just need to order these two to leave from here.
“…It’ll activate properly, right?”
I’m concerned that my partner’s condition has been bad lately, but… I have no choice but to go.
Approaching the two fighting men, when I activate my partner, they immediately became docile, so it seems the hypnosis activated successfully from the start this time.
“Scream something weird and go over that way. If you’re going to fight, do it over there just the two of you.”
“Got it.”
“Yeah.”
And so the two men ran off making strange noises.
People were surprised that it suddenly became quiet, but more than that, their gazes were directed at the men running away, so there were no eyes on me at all.
“…It activated successfully this time.”
“What did?”
“What do you mean, the hypnosis… huh?”
Wait, whose words did I just respond to…?
When I fearfully turn my gaze… and moreover to someone right nearby, it was Matsuri, and she’s looking at me with a somewhat surprised expression.
“M-Matsuri?!”
This is right in front of the karaoke shop.
She probably came out after hearing the commotion, but it was so sudden that I was surprised enough to drop my phone.
“Ah!”
I tried to catch the phone that slipped from my hand, but instead I batted it away and it ended up in Matsuri’s hands… and then.
“Hypnosis… app?”
Since my partner was still activated, if she looked at the screen, of course she’d notice.
Originally, following my partner’s advice, I was planning to talk about the hypnosis app anyway, but I feel flustered that she found out unexpectedly like this.
(Wait, it really has become visible to people other than me…)
That was also just as my partner said.
However, from Matsuri’s perspective, even if it’s a hypnosis app screen, she should think it’s just an app that looks like one… the moment I thought that, she said this:
“Those people earlier… they suddenly left like they became different people. Is this the real thing?”
“…Um.”
Normally, it’s something that shouldn’t exist in this world.
Even though she witnessed the decisive scene, maybe because Matsuri looks at me closely, she thought it might be real.
