Can I Still Be Your Heroine Even Though I'm Your Teacher?-Chapter 1Volume 2 .2 - My First Love Turned Out to Be My Brother

My First Love Turned Out to Be My Brother 2

“So, what is this Onee-san to you, Yuu-kun?”

Kaguya looks at Tenjō-san with curiosity.

“She’s my neighbor. The resident of Room 103.”

I convey the objective facts.

“A beautiful girl like her lives next door!? Yuu-kun, you’re so lucky.”

“I guess so.”

“And why does the neighbor come up to Yuu-kun’s room?”

“Because we have a friendly relationship as neighbors.”

“Is it normal to naturally come up to your room?”

I find it slightly difficult to respond when directly questioned about our daily lives.

After all, the fact that we visit each other’s rooms is something we’ve kept from others.

“We share things and we interact with each other regularly.”

I try to answer as truthfully as possible without lying.

“Isn’t it kind of dangerous for Onee-san to come up to a high school student’s room?”

She genuinely wonders why such a beautiful girl has any association with her brother.

It feels like the tables have turned, with Kaguya now firing painful questions at her.

“Kaguya, it’s the opposite. She’s been looking after me, wondering if I’m having any trouble living alone as a high school student.”

For the sake of Tenjō-san’s honor, I made sure to clarify.

I don’t mind being misunderstood myself, but I won’t allow it to affect Tenjō-san.

“Bringing over a pizza delivery and getting angry because I was here? Is that what a ‘just neighbor’ does?”

Kaguya is not convinced.

“Anyone would be surprised to come across a scene where a man and a woman are in close contact.”

“Exactly. It’s an adult’s responsibility to intervene if minors are engaging in unhealthy activities.”

Tenjō-san replies with a calm voice.

Her sharp expression reinforces an intelligent impression.

“Wow, that’s so stiff. You sound like the Sensei from the life guidance department. I think that’s too much interference for just a neighbor. Isn’t that an invasion of privacy?”

Kaguya sticks out her tongue.

“Kaguya, don’t say such things. It’s not a problem since I’ve agreed to it.”

Ah, I knew it, this relationship should not be known to others.

“I was in trouble once, and Yuunagi-kun helped me out. I’ve been relying on him for various things too since then.”

Sensing the tide turning against her, Tenjō-san throws out a lifeline.

“Now he also helps others besides me…”

Kaguya puffs her cheeks like a hamster.

“Hey, Onee-san, what exactly did Yuu-kun do for you?”

“Uh, well, you see…”

“Is it something you can’t say?”

I can think of too many instances where I’ve helped her, and depending on how it’s told, there are many things that could easily be misunderstood.

“Go… When a black bug appeared, he got rid of it for me. You see, I’m really bad with bugs.”

She almost said “cockroach (Gokiburi)” just now and give up.

At that time, she was so flustered that she didn’t care about maintaining her dignity as someone older and jumped into my arms.

Indeed, the greatest crisis for Tenjō-san so far was when a cockroach appeared.

“Ah~ I get it. Those are seriously the worst. Can’t help but rely on Yuu-kun for that.”

The two girls nod in agreement as they look at each other.

“Well, that’s the situation, so Kaguya, please get along with my neighbor.”

“If you’d like, why not join us for some pizza? Think of it as a small welcome party for the stepsister.”

Kaguya nods at our suggestion.

The pizza seemed to have fallen vertically just right, as the toppings were mostly intact and still looked neat.

Then Kaguya proceeds to devour slice after slice of pizza on the table.

“Be a little more reserved.”

“Maybe we should have ordered one more.”

“Oh, I’ll pay for Kaguya’s and my share of the pizza later.”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s on me. Leave it to this Onee-san who’s a working adult. Besides, it’s also a way to thank you for helping me.”

An undeniable move of a reliable adult.

According to the Neighbor Agreement, we split the food expenses to some extent, but perhaps it’s tactless to mention it in front of Kaguya.

“Then I’ll accept your kindness.”

“No, it’s fine.”

“Kaguya, you can’t just eat the whole time. You must have something to say, right?”

After casually licking the grease from her fingers, she says ‘thanks’ in an indifferent tone.

“Hey, show some proper gratitude. And eat some salad too.”

“I don’t like vegetables.”

“It’s for your health.”

“I eat the onions and the bell peppers.”

As if the thinly sliced vegetables on top of the pizza could be enough.

“Stop being picky.”

“Yuu-kun, you sound like an old man～”

“Who’s an old man? I’ll knock you out.”

“Both of you get along so well…”

Tenjō-san says with a lukewarm gaze.

Ah, please stop.

She’s definitely misunderstanding something. There’s absolutely no such development as you’re imagining!

“Mhmm, I’m brocon!” (Brother Complex)

The junior high school girl in front of me admits it casually.

It’s impressive how she can come out as a brocon without any hesitation to someone she’s just met.

“As expected of siblings, you’re both quick to express your affection with words.”

“We’re not blood-related, so it’s all in your imagination.”

I don’t like being lumped together with Kaguya.

“Well, they say people who live in the same environment start to resemble each other.”

“Don’t talk like you know everything.”

Kaguya snaps back grumpily.

Just as I’m about to intervene, Tenjō-san gestures with her hand to stop me.

“It’s okay, I don’t mind it. I’m the one who intruded while the sister came to see her Onii-san to enjoy a time exclusively for siblings.”

I’m the one intruding on a brother and sister’s time together, having come to see Onii-san.”

True to her words, Tenjō-san doesn’t seem bothered by Kaguya’s remarks.

Being a teacher, maybe she’s used to ignoring the cheeky comments of teenagers.

In fact, she seems to be enjoying the mealtime scene somewhat.

“Onee-san understands it better. Yuu-kun, you treat me like a child.”

Kaguya looks at me as if she has something more to say.

“The fact that you’re the youngest doesn’t change.”

“If you’re going to act like that, I’ll tell Onee-san all sorts of things about you, whether it’s true or not.”

Bold for her to threaten her brother whom she’s just reunited with.
