“Sorry I’m late. Were you waiting for me?”
“Not really. Don’t sweat the small stuff!”
“Good morning big brother. I’m glad you’re coming on the field trip with us!”
“Good morning Yuugo. Thank you for coming along with us today.”
“Ou, good morning! That’s a proper greeting! That’s great!”
Yuugo had a cheerful smile on his face as he talked to Ryuuga and the others who just got there.
After that, he introduced his partner to the ones meeting him for the first time.
“Let me introduce you, Ryuuga. This grumpy guy here is Marcos, and the red-headed girl in the work clothes is Angel. They’re both my friends and as reliable as Melt.”
“I see. It’s nice to meet you. I’m Ryuuga Renjou, and this is my sister Yui. I hope we can get along.”
“Hmph…! Well, I’m a generous guy. As Yuugo’s greatest friend and rival, I welcome you. I hope we can get along as well, Ryuuga!”
“I’m Angel Amber. Call me An. Unlike the rest of you, I’m in the technical department, so we’re not gonna see each other much… But it’s nice to meet you.”
Both shook Ryuuga’s hand after the introductions.
Yuugo was relieved to see the mood in the air was nice, and Ryuuga spoke to him.
“That’s right, Yuugo. I have something to report. Phi was saying he wants to look after Yui. And that like us who teamed up, they want to do what they can together.”
“Phi and Yui. Are you sure? Wouldn’t it be simpler if it was another girl…?”
“No, things can get more muddy than you think. We don’t have to worry about that with Phi, and Yui approves too. It will be easy to share information between brothers too, so I think it’s all good.”
Ryuuga said, looking for approval, and Yuugo showed no particular opposition.
If Ryuuga and the two people in question agreed, there was nothing for him to say. He was proud of his little brother Phi, and knew he would not do anything to make Yui sad, so it did not sound bad.
“Yuugo, Phi, I will be under your care. In particular, I think my big brother will cause a lot of bother to Yuugo, but… Please look after him.”
“Hey hey, how can you say something like that, when I’m worried about a tomboy like you causing Phi problems?”
“Oh! Does my big brother not trust his cute little sister? I’m deeply hurt!”
Said Yui while giggling, and everyone laughed.
As Ryuuga said, despite seeming quiet, Yui was more of a tomboy than she looked, so it might be hard to look after her, but Yuugo and the others had encouraging words for Phi.
“It might be a direct task from Ryuuga, but you don’t have to be so worked up. What’s really important is that you treat Yui normally, and have fun as friends.”
“Y-yes. I’ll do my best!”
“Ah~, the spring of youth has finally come for Phi~! It’s too bad your big sister can’t make fun of you as casually as before.”
“…Are you okay, An? I know you’re not Marcos, but you’re not going after Yui out of jealousy, are you?”
“Hey, what do you think I am? Like I’d ever do that!!”
“Well… Considering how you’ve acted with Phi, all I think is that you’re a dangerous girl who wants to put her hands on a small boy…”
“Hou? Is that what you think of me, Yuugo? Fine. Then I’ll introduce you to my alluring cleavage, and make it so you’re only interested in girls in sweaty overalls.”
“Hey stop it!! Don’t implant that kind of kink on me. And don’t be a bad influence to the kids here!!”
“Yes! Stop trying to make Yuugo weird!!”
“Heey! Who are you to tell me not to show bad things to children!? You do more problematic things than me!”
“Fufufu…! Your friends are interesting. The sparkle of their souls is wonderful!”
It may have seemed like what Yui was hearing was not something to laugh about, but Yui found this back and forth funny and interesting.
She faced all of them in turn, and told them the impressions she had of them.
“Angel is mischievous. From Marcos… I feel nobility and pride. The last person… I didn’t catch your name, but are you Melt? I feel a shine in your soul that shows you’re a charming person, so I understand why Yuugo would make you his girlfriend!”
“Hohou? That’s quite the discerning eye! You will be quite the lady in the future, if you can sense my nobility!”
“Kyah! Geez, Yui, you’re such a flatterer! Charming enough for Yuugo to make me his girlfriend… Kya! Kya!”
Yuugo saw his friends making a big deal out of Yui’s praise, and thought they were truly simple.
He thought it would be the end if he told them that, but two shadows approached them as they got worked up like this.
