So Sakuramiya Saya was naturally very grateful for this.
Feeling the moistness on the corner of his lips, Hikari turned his head to glance at Sakuramiya Saya.
He asked with a smile, "Are you still going to call me brother-in-law?"
"Uh… I won't call you that anymore," Sakuramiya Saya's little face turned pale.
Thinking about how she got carried away just now, made a cheeky comment, and then experienced all kinds of consequences, Sakuramiya Saya still had lingering fear.
That feeling of completely losing consciousness was truly frightening.
At least today, she didn't dare to be so cheeky again.
Moreover, Sakuramiya Saya actually had another thought in her heart.
That was, now she really didn't want to call Hikari "brother-in-law" anymore.
But wanted Sakuramiya Hinata to call Hikari "brother-in-law" instead.
"Let's go, I'll walk you back to your classroom," Looking at Sakuramiya Saya, whose eyes were flickering as if lost in wild thoughts, Hikari shook his head.
"Okay."
Supporting Sakuramiya Saya, who was slightly unsteady on her feet, the two of them left the Kyudo Club together.
After walking a dozen steps, Sakuramiya Saya no longer needed support and could walk by herself.
After all, except for when Sakuramiya Saya cheekily called him "brother-in-law" and Hikari gave her a serious "lesson", the rest of the time, he had been relatively gentle.
After all, Sakuramiya Saya lacked experience, it was her first time.
But as a girl who had practiced Kyudo for many years, Sakuramiya Saya's physical condition was actually quite good.
Plus, Hikari had held back his strength.
So after resting for a bit, she was basically fine.
After Hikari sent Sakuramiya Saya back to her class,
He also returned to his own classroom.
Sitting back in his seat.
Hikari opened his phone and saw a new message.
It was from Miss Mira.
[Hikari-chan, I bought lots of groceries today, remember to come back for dinner.]
Seeing this message, Hikari immediately remembered his appointment with Serizawa Yukiha at noon.
He had already agreed to go to Serizawa Yukiha's house for dinner tonight.
But since Miss Mira specially messaged him to remind him, he decided to go home for a bit.
Anyway, with his constitution, eating an extra meal wasn't a big deal.
Putting his phone back in his pocket.
Hikari followed his classmates out the door to PE class.
———
In the corridor of the school building.
The Sakuramiya sisters, Saya and Hinata, stood side by side, watching the boy running on the track below.
Sakuramiya Hinata suddenly asked, "Sister Saya, did you see Hikari-kun?"
Sakuramiya Saya nodded, "I saw him, isn't he over there running? What's wrong?"
Sakuramiya Hinata giggled and said, "Hehe, nothing really. I just think my boyfriend is so handsome, I wanted you to take a good look too."
Sakuramiya Saya suddenly smiled, "Are you sure that's your boyfriend?"
Sakuramiya Hinata: "?"
Sakuramiya Saya: "??"
Sakuramiya Hinata: "???"
"Sister Saya, what do you mean by that?", Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't hold it in anymore. She was the first to break the silence and confusion, speaking to Sakuramiya Saya.
Sakuramiya Saya's charming and delicate face suddenly showed a mysterious smile, "Oh, nothing really. I just felt like you were getting a little carried away, so I wanted to remind you. You and Hikari-kun are just pretending to be a couple, remember~"
Hearing Sakuramiya Saya deliberately point this out, Sakuramiya Hinata frowned slightly.
She felt that her sister was acting a little strange today.
Nothing seemed to have changed, yet everything felt different.
Especially that half-smiling expression and a kind of bewitching charm.
Even her slightly swaying steps raised suspicion.
"Sister Saya, did you… do something with Hikari-kun behind my back?"
Looking at her sister, who was smiling with graceful ease, Sakuramiya Hinata suddenly had a bad hunch.
As sisters who spent all their time together, it was impossible to hide anything from each other, and Sakuramiya Saya had already prepared for this.
Hearing Sakuramiya Hinata speak, she simply smiled and said, "It's nothing, really. Hikari-kun has helped us out so many times before. And now, because of today's rumors, we're troubling him again to pretend to be your boyfriend, I just feel like we owe him too much."
"It made me uneasy, so… I just repaid Hikari-kun a bit earlier…"
After Sakuramiya Saya gave a general explanation of how she repaid Hikari, Sakuramiya Hinata's bright eyes gradually widened, looking like goldfish eyes about to pop out.
"Sister Saya! How could you do that? How could you go to Hikari-kun behind my back and do that kind of thing? Didn't we agree to team up and win him over together?", Sakuramiya Hinata couldn't help but shout at Sakuramiya Saya.
Sakuramiya Saya smiled slightly, "Oh really? Team up? You mean like secretly feeding him 'imported candy' behind my back after lunch?"
Sakuramiya Hinata froze.
"I… I… I was just trying to show the closeness of a couple," Sakuramiya Hinata whispered in defense.
"I was also repaying Hikari-kun for his kindness to us," Sakuramiya Saya replied with a smile.
"Sister Saya, you… you!", Sakuramiya Hinata pointed at Sakuramiya Saya's nose, her pretty face filled with anger, but for a moment didn't know what to say.
Sakuramiya Saya didn't back down at all, smiling as she looked straight at her sister.
The two sisters stared each other down, the atmosphere slightly tense.
If it weren't for their previously close relationship, they might have already turned against each other and fought.
"Sister Saya, you're too much! You actually secretly made the first move on Hikari-kun, that's going too far!"
"Same to you," Watching Sakuramiya Hinata storm off back to class, Sakuramiya Saya only smiled slightly.
The once inseparable sisters who seemed destined to live in harmony for a hundred years were now somewhat hostile toward each other.
Seeing Sakuramiya Saya's spirited expression, Sakuramiya Hinata gritted her teeth in anger.
"Sister Saya is really too much!"
"She actually made the first move before me, even though I'm the one dating Hikari-kun now!"
"He's her brother-in-law!"
"Too much! Just too much!"
Sakuramiya Hinata made up her mind to find Hikari after school too.
If her sister could do it, so could she.
———
[On the Other Side]
Hikari had no idea the Sakuramiya sisters had nearly fought over "splitting the spoils unevenly."
Because there were quite a few things going on, he went straight home as soon as school was over.
After all, he not only had to go back to the Tsubakihara house to eat with Miss Mira, but also had to fulfill his dinner appointment at Serizawa Yukiha's home.
He was truly very busy.
And Hikari's quick departure
Also meant that Sakuramiya Hinata, who came looking for him with full momentum, missed him completely, coming excitedly but returning disappointed.
On the way home, Sakuramiya Hinata had to listen to Sakuramiya Saya animatedly boasting about how amazing Hikari was, how great it felt to be "taught" by him, and so on.
Sakuramiya Hinata didn't argue back, just kept lightly biting her red lips.
Silently building up her frustration, preparing to strike back when the time came.
———
At the same time, Hikari also arrived at the familiar Tsubakihara house.
But standing at the door, Hikari found that, unlike usual, the door wasn't immediately opened.
Beautiful Miss Mira didn't come out smiling to greet him either.
Although Hikari felt a bit uncomfortable about this,
He wasn't worried.
Because Miss Mira had already given him a key after he moved out.
Always carrying it with him, Hikari took it out, inserted it into the keyhole, and opened the door.
"Hikari-chan!"
As soon as the door opened, Hikari heard a clear voice call out.
"Miss Mira," Hikari, who had just closed the door, quickly waved to greet Tsubakihara Mira.
Hikari turned his head and saw Tsubakihara Mira at the moment, doing a full split on a yoga mat, seemingly working out or something.
Hikari had thought Miss Mira had gone out to buy groceries or something, but she was actually exercising.
Taking off his shoes and hanging up his schoolbag.
Hikari sat down on the sofa.
"Miss Mira is working out, huh," Hikari casually said, looking at Tsubakihara Mira on the yoga mat.
He had said it casually, but Miss Mira quickly responded, "Yeah, after all, I'm not young anymore, I'm just an obasan."
"A woman without any femininity or charm is really pitiful, you know."
"Hikari-kun at school must see young, beautiful girls every day. Compared to me, an obasan, no wonder you don't come home much."
Hearing the hidden meaning in Miss Mira's words, Hikari lightly coughed, "Miss Mira, what are you saying? You're not an obasan at all. You look very young, and seem the same age as my classmates. You've always felt more like an older sister to me."
Miss Mira smiled, "Hikari-chan, you're so sweet. But for you to come home more often, I'll keep working hard on my training."
Seeing how Miss Mira linked his not coming home to her own attractiveness, Hikari gave a wry smile, not knowing how to refute.
Miss Mira continued smiling as she worked out.
