Chapter 289: Takasago Legendary Scene<span>「Grrrr…. I’m so jealous of Moribe <span>」<span> Ui-chan gritted her teeth as she looked at the two of them taking amemorative photo across the water aquarium.<span> I can’t help but chuckle.<span>「That’s so fresh. Ui-chan can take a picture anytime <span>」<span>「Idiot! The only time I can be alone with the Confinement King is on the bed. That’s not a photo shoot <span>」<span>「Well… <span>」<span>「I-I want a photo of myself with the Confinement King! I mean, I want to go on a date with him! <span>」<span>「… <span>」<span> I averted my eyes.<span> As I’ve already had a date with Kijima, this is very awkward.<span>「Why don’t you just say it? You want to go on a date <span>」<span>「Oh, isn’t it a little embarrassing when a woman asks for a date? <span>」<span>「No, I don’t know what that would feel like <span>」<span>(After demanding to be held and made love to in bed so many times, what are you saying now, you piece of junk? <span>)<span> When I was taken aback, Ui-chan showed a sudden sign of thinking.<span>「By the way, Shima, Confinement King seems to like Moribe a lot, why didn’t he let her join his harem? <span>」<span>「Well, that’s… because he wants to take good care of her. He even treats her like a little sister <span>」<span>「Hmm? What do you mean? You’re making it sound like she isn’t important to him <span>」<span>「No, it’s not like that… I don’t know how to exin it… but I think it means he’s not in love with her <span>」<span>「Umu… I see, that means we’re higher than her, is that it? <span>」<span>「No, I’m not talking about higher or lower… I think it’s more like a separate category <span>」<span> Then, Ui-chan raises her eyebrows and on her face look like there is the word “I don’t know” written in bold gothic letters. <span>「… Well, whatever. When you get into college, Ui-chan will be Kijima’s girlfriend, right? Then you can date all you want, date everyday <span>」<span>「Date Everyday? <span>」<span> Ui-chan looked surprised and pleased for a moment, then looked troubled.<span>「That’s… well, won’t he get bored? <span>」

A dolphin shows. And in front of us, there are Kijima and Moribe-san.
<span> Moribe-san seems reserved but excited.<span> On the other hand, Kijima watches her with fondness.<span> asionally, they talk to each other and smile at each other.<span> Looking at the two, Shiratori-senpai let out a dismayed voice.

<span>↓ ↓<span> There, too, the case of the mysterious disappearance is being treated with great interest, and many people are saying that Fumio Kijima is suspicious.<span> It is no wonder that some people are following the case like Detective JK.<span>「Anyway, it would be silly to lose him, so let’s follow him <span>」<span>「Yes! <span>」<span> And so, at the ticket counter, I bought the tickets for the three of us together.<span> However, I notice Shiratori-senpai peeking into my wallet.<span>「What is it? <span>」<span>「No, it’s nothing. It’s just that you bought the tickets for me and Takasago <span>」<span> Well, it’s not surprising that she’s concerned.<span> But thanks to the fact that I’m in charge of all the living expenses, I have more money in my wallet than a student should have.<span> And when we entered the aquarium…<span>「Dear visitor, please do not eat or drink in the Aquarium <span>」<span> Takasago-senpai was stopped at the entrance.<span> ◇ ◇ ◇<span> At the end of the dimly lit blue corridor, Saori-chan, who saw a water aquarium that resembled the North Pole, rushed out.<span> She turned to me, sticking to the ss.<span>「Onii-chan, penguin!

I thought I was following a devil pawn and a girl suspected of being a <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">devil<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Akuma</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>, but what I saw is a scene that made me feel dismay, like a typical scene from youth…<span>「Do you ever want a boyfriend, Shiratori-senpai?<span>」<span>「Not at all<span>」<span> I don’t want a boyfriend either, but… would my <ruby style="ruby-align: center;">brother<rp>(</rp><rt style="font-size: 7pt;yout-grid-mode: line;">Onii-chan</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><span>e with me if I asked him?<span> Anyway, no luck so far. The sunsses group, which I thought was following Kijima, was sitting far away from us, enjoying the dolphin show.<span> From this point of view, the most excited people were two model-like figures.They are taking pictures of each other with the show pool in the background, and are making a lot of fuss, saying “It’s jumping” and “It’s jumping again” in a calm way.<span> If I look for themter on socialworking sites, I may be able to find out who they are.<span> Finally, the dolphins make a series of jumps, and the hostess announces the end of the show, and the lights are turned on and the surroundings be bright.
<span> After a round of apuse, the audience started to leave their seats, and Kijima and Moribe-san also started to move toward the exit.<span>(They really look like a middle-schooler… they are so new to the world…<span>)<span> Moribe-san’s hand, which had been holding the hem of Kijima’s shirt until a moment ago, was now grasping Kijima’s fingertip.<span> Her face was red, and I could see that she was very nervous just by watching from the side.When I hear her call him “Onii-chan,” I get the impression that she is a girl who is really longing for a neighbourhood’s big brother.<span>(If this is an act, it’s a big deal…<span>)<span> As I looked at their backs, I felt as if I could see my brother and myself in the same image.<span> There, too, the case of the mysterious disappearance is being treated with great interest, and many people are saying that Fumio Kijima is suspicious.<span> It is no wonder that some people are following the case like Detective JK.<span>「Anyway, it would be silly to lose him, so let’s follow him <span>」<span>「Yes! <span>」<span> And so, at the ticket counter, I bought the tickets for the three of us together.<span> However, I notice Shiratori-senpai peeking into my wallet.<span>「What is it? <span>」<span>「No, it’s nothing.

Thinking so, I felt very jealous.<span>(After Onii-chan started dating Minami-onee-chan, I refrained from going out with him even if it was an invitation<span>)<span> Minami-onee-chan is a childhood friend of my brother and I, who live next door to each other.<span> To be honest, it wasplicated for me when they started going out, but I thought it was okay if it was Minami-onee-chan.<span> There were times when their rtionship seemed to be tense, but they had been together for a long time, so I thought it was just a case of boredom.<span> However, their rtionship definitely deteriorated after my brother shut himself away.<span> Minami-onee-chan, who came to see him because she was worried about my brother, ran out of the room crying.When I asked my brother about it, he said that he had broken up with her, and when I ambushed Minami-onee-chan and asked her about it, she just said “I’m sorry” in a sad tone.
<span>↓ ↓
<span>↓ ↓<span> But then one night…<span> On my way home from the convenience store, I saw her sneaking out of the house.<span> I had been feeling bothered for a long time, so I decided to follow her, though I knew it was wrong.<span> But it was rare for serious sister to sneak out of the house at this hour. And after a few moments, she went to the back of the station, where she met a man with a hat on his head.<span> It was dimly lit, so I could not tell his age, but he did not seem to be the same age.
<span> Inside the show pool, dolphins jump one after another in a rain of lights formed by glitteringsers. <span> “Wow…” cries of admiration could be heard from all over the audience, and the wetsuit-d woman hosting the show puffed out her chest proudly. <span> This is the aquarium’s main attraction. A dolphin shows. And in front of us, there are Kijima and Moribe-san.<span> Moribe-san seems reserved but excited.<span> On the other hand, Kijima watches her with fondness.<span> asionally, they talk to each other and smile at each other.<span> Looking at the two, Shiratori-senpai let out a dismayed voice.<span> As I hid behind a vending machine and listened to the conversation, I could hear fragments of his words.<span>「Don’t… do… this… thing… again<span>」<span>「Spread…<span>」<span>「No…<span>」<span> And then I watched as she was taken to a hotel with a sobbing face.<span>(P-Police… no, if I do that, Onii-chan will know. If that happens, there’ll be no chance for them to get back together<span>)<span> I don’t know what to do anymore.<span> So, that morning, I consulted udia-san, who had just started working with my brother, for help.But she kicked me out of the room, saying, “It’s none of my business”.<span> However, on Sato-chan’s rmendation, I consulted Shiratori-senpai, and the next day she was able to find out the identity of the person I was dealing with.<span>「It’s the advisor of the Public Morals Committee, Zenkichi Kobayashi-sensei<span>」<span>「How did you…?<span>」<span> It was like magic. I thought she might be making fun of me by saying something random.<span> But Shiratori-senpai’s face was still sullen as ever, and she said in an indifferent tone.<span>「If I understood the premise that she was being ckmailed, and followed Shibata-Senpai’s line of sight, anyone could understand that<span>」<span>(…No, I don’t understand<span>)<span> But it’s the only clue.<span> From that point on, I continued to observe Kobayashi-sensei’s movements.<span> Gradually, I came to understand that this man was an unbelievable devil.<span> Despite the fact that he had a young wife and a child who had just turned one year old, I found out that he had poisoned not only big sister but also the chairwoman of the public moralsmittee.<span> During the two weeks I was observing him, he went to a hotel with the chairwoman of the public moralsmittee once, and with big sister five times.<span> Three of those times were early in the summer vacation.<span> And thest time I saw her, she must have lost her mind. She acted as if she was leaning on the teacher.<span> At this rate, it’ll be toote.<span> I’ve got to do something… I thought.
<span> Inside the show pool, dolphins jump one after another in a rain of lights formed by glitteringsers. <span> “Wow…” cries of admiration could be heard from all over the audience, and the wetsuit-d woman hosting the show puffed out her chest proudly. <span> This is the aquarium’s main attraction.

It made me lost in thought. When I came to my senses, there were few people in the audience and there was no sign of Kijima or Moribe-san.
<span>↓ ↓
<span>↓ ↓<span>「We should go too<span>」<span>「Yes. Speaking of which, is Takasago-senpai okay?<span>」<span>「Well, she’s probably around the entrance. It’s impossible for Takasago to go anywhere on her own, she’s probably sleeping on a bench.<span>」<span> When we were stopped at the entrance, we decided to wait for Takasago-senpai to finish eating her crepe.<span> However, as soon as she finished her crepe, Takasago-senpai took out a pack of warabi-mochi from her bag without pausing.<span> Therefore, Shiratori-senpai and I gave up and decided to leave Takasago-senpai behind.<span>(Takasago-senpai is too free…<span>)<span> But, I am interested in the kind of family environment she grew up in, and how she can live without worrying about others.<span> However, when I asked this to Shiratori-senpai, she said with a wry smile.<span>「As for Takasago, I don’t think it’s a matter of family environment<span>」<span>「What do you mean?<span>」<span>「Well… Takasago’s grandmother told me that as soon as Takasago was born, she tried to go back to her mother’s tummy<span>」<span>「What?<span>」<span>「“It must have been a hassle to be born”, Takasago’s grandmother said that like it was a funny story, but when I thought about it again, it was nothing but a horror story, right?<span>」<span>「…It’s a horror story<span>」<span> Indeed, it is horror enough when a 0-year-old child moves by herself.<span> But Shiratori-senpai’s point of view was different.<span>「But, don’t you think it’s too dangerous for a 0-year-old to try to give her own mother an incestuous lesbian skull?<span>」<span>「The idea never urred to me!?<span>」<span> But, lesbian skull. It’s a word that I’ve never heard before, but I can almost guess what it’s about.<span> Oh, man.<span> It’s going to change the way I look at Takasago-senpai.<span>「Well, I guess Takasago’s slothfulness is a result of her birth, not her environment<span>」<span> Shiratori-senpai, the content is so shocking that I really don’t care about its conclusion.
