Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 6Volume 1 .1 - What Was Revealed...?

What Was Revealed…?  1

The day to go out with Usami was approaching; it was Friday, June 3rd.

After school that day, Sakuto finished his day duty in school and headed home later than usual.

He hadn’t met Usami in person since then, but their LIME conversations continued.

He opened the chat screen while waiting at the stoplight.

After scrolling three or four times upward with his thumb, he quickly reached the 『Nice to meet you』 cat stamp on 【6/1 (Thu)】 – he thought it was an easy date to remember.

The conversations up to 【Today】 mostly revolved around each other’s hobbies and favorite things, interspersed with greetings like ‘good night’ and ‘good morning’.

It seems Usami likes cooking; she packs her lunch on weekdays and even prepares dinner for her family.

It is a painful reminder for Sakuto, who feels he should also actively help out his busy aunt.

Also, she occasionally goes to the movie theater.

While not a hardcore movie fan, Sakuto wants to watch the movies she recommends.

It would be fun to have something in common to talk about.

Apart from that, the messages were rather plain, and replies were often delayed.

Optimistically, it meant she carefully pondered each word and phrase.

Her serious and meticulous nature seemed to show through in these messages.

Sakuto also tried not to burden Usami, avoiding sending long, drawn-out messages.

He thought something like this was just the right balance for both of them.

After all, they were meeting in person tomorrow, and it would be a shame to diminish the anticipation.

(Ah, that’s right…)

Sakuto realized he was enjoying this.

These LIME conversations, learning about Usami, imagining her, and looking forward to going out with her tomorrow——he was lost in such thoughts when the signal turned green.

He closed the chat screen, stuffed his smartphone into his pocket, and hurriedly crossed the pedestrian crossing as the signal began to flash.

As he resumed walking towards the station, what vaguely came to mind was Usami’s bright smile at the arcade.

Speaking of which, he had completely forgotten about it.

From what he saw at the arcade, Usami seemed like quite a gamer, but strangely, they only talked about smartphone games on LIME.

And she doesn’t play them that often, not even mentioning Ensam.

Sakuto had completely forgotten to bring that up.

(But still, saying she doesn’t play much… Usami-san is humble.)

Sakuto thought, considering she had once fiercely competed with hardcore Ensam fans.

She must be really concerned about the loss last time. He wanted to play against her again someday.

While thinking about this, Sakuto reached the area in front of the station and suddenly stopped.

(Is that… Usami-san?)

He saw Usami with two men in front of the arcade.

One wore a knit cap, and the other had long hair. They were the guys he had seen before inside the arcade.

Although he was too far to hear their voices, the man in the knit cap seemed concerned about the arcade.

The long-haired man, looking bored and fiddling with his phone, had his feet pointed towards the arcade, seemingly eager to go there.

It looked more like Usami was being challenged to a match rather than being hit on, and she seemed troubled and annoyed by their persistence.

(Just when she’s changed her mind, they shouldn’t be inviting her…)

Due to the rumors, Usami had reasons not to go to the arcade for the time being.

With so many people around, it might start another strange rumor if someone from school saw this.

While thinking this, Sakuto headed towards the trio——

***

” ──Like I said… it’s not me! Who is Koto-kyun? You’ve got the wrong person!”

“Just cut it out and come inside. Let’s have a match with us, Koto-kyun?”

“Look, if you keep insisting, I’ll really call that guy!”

Usami——Chikage became frustrated and retorted, to which the man in the knit cap snorted through his nose.

“That guy? You mean that boyfriend from the other day?”

“Boyfriend? Whose boyfriend…?”

Chikage furrowed her brows.

“I mean, weren’t you all friendly at the arcade before? —Right?”

“Oh… well, I guess?”

“But seriously, that guy was too much. Even I’d fall for someone that strong…”

“Who are you talking about? I’m not dating anyone yet!”

Chikage firmly denied and then thought of Sakuto.

They weren’t dating, but she was going out with him tomorrow.

Her saying ‘not yet’ was due to her expectation for the future, something like pride.

Then, the comparatively calm long-haired man tilted his head and spoke up.

“Hey, I think we’ve got the wrong person.”

The knit-capped man took a moment to calmly look at Chikage.

“What? Is that so?… No, I thought it was her though.”

“She says she’s not the person, and, like, the vibe, the way she dresses and talks, doesn’t she seem too serious like this?”

“Well, true… His girlfriend was more cheerful. I guess we’ve got the wrong person…”

Chikage realized that they had mistaken her for the girlfriend of this ‘guy’ they were talking about.
