Chapter 11 - My Younger Sister is Too Good at Singing

"Ah, Kyota! Over here!"

Mizuki waved his hand at the group gathered in front of the station near the high school.

However, the other classmates gave no reaction.

Today was Mizuki's planned class get-together. Since I had to pick up Soyoka, I stopped by the kindergarten first and then came back. Of course, Soyoka came with me.

It's been a month and a half since the class change, and the purpose of this party itself is to get no know each other better and to strengthen the bonds among classmates. Since there was no compulsion, only 15 people attended. That's about half of the class.

On top of that, Mizuki was surrounded by girls. In a way, this was an opportunity for them to take advantage of being in the same class as Mizuki. I can even see how serious a girl is when she puts on a lot of makeup even though she just got out of school. I guess that's why I'm not popular because I can't help but think that girls are prettier without makeup.

"Sorry for keeping you all waiting."

"No, no. We just finished chatting. You came just in time. Soyoka-chan, here's a present for you."

He was smart enough to familiarize himself with Soyoka, and at the same time, he also gave her a present?!

This guy, he's not just handsome........

"Mijuki! Aitou!"

Soyoka received the small wrapped paper bag and hugged Mizuki.

"Well, Soyoka.... It's dangerous here. So go back to your brother."

"Soka wants to be with Mijuki!"

For some reason Soyoka has a face like a woman...!

Mizuki had played with her a few times last year, so I think she really likes him. She was looking forward to seeing him again today as he always gave her candy. Does this mean that girls like handsome men even when they're so young?

"Is she Kuremoto-kun's younger sister? Gosh, so cute~. I'm glad she doesn't look like her brother!"

"She said 'Aitou'! Does she mean arigatou?"

"How cute!"

Yes, they were right. I'm glad that Soyoka's cuteness seems to have been conveyed to everyone.

*

I knew that there was a limit to what you could do with just a picture! I'm glad I brought her here. Soyoka also seems to be enjoying being pampered by the other siblings, but doesn't she look a little nervous?

"Hey, everyone, Soyoka looks scared, so please stay away from her."

Mizuki casually protects Soyoka. Damn, I feel like I'm losing even though I have the Power Of Onii-chan!

"Ah, that's right. I'm sorry, Soyoka-chan."

"Yes."

The girls released Soyoka while apologizing.

"I'm glad you joined us, let's go."

Mizuki took Soyoka's hand and said so.

The karaoke bar was booked by Mizuki, and they took us to a large room that could accommodateall of us.

With 15 people in it, it was almost impossible for everyone to get a turn to sing. But since the purpose of this party was to deepen friendships, no one minded.

The place was newly opened, so it allowed us to bring our own food, and everyone spread the snacks they brought on the table. A drink bar is also available here.

Although the members were just like at school, the unique karaoke atmosphere and sense of closeness made us even more excited. The number of sofas inside is limited, so people tend to be close together, which makes it perfect for a get-together.

Soyoka, who is a princess, sits on Mizuki's lap at the end of the sofa. She was surrounded by girls who wanted to get close to Mizuki. Is this place a cabaret club?

[TL: A cabaret is a performance or staging art originating from the Western World where there is usually entertainment in the form of music, comedy and often skits or dance].

"Soyoka......? Come here?"

I tried to snatch her back from the clutches of the demon Mizuki. But I was ignored by her.

......I almost cried because my sister left me too soon.

Mizuki who saw me like that gave me a thumbs up. As expected of my best friend! You do understand me!

"Soyoka-chan, what would you like to drink? Orange juice? Pudding? Or tea? It looks like there's soda in there too."

"Olange!"

"I'll take oolong tea, Kyota."

You bastard! He even told me to get him a drink!

"I want vegetable juice."

"Uh, can I have some? I'll have a soda then."

"Sorry to bother you. But, I'd like some hot coffee."

Following Mizuki, the girls also raised their hands.

I should probably sing the national anthem non-stop. I feel like showing my patriotic spirit.

The Yokohama City Anthem can be sung by all the citizens of the city ..... oh no, it's not on the list! This karaoke broke the rules by not keeping it even though they opened a shop in this city!

Since I was appointed as an errand boy, I went to the drink bar. Having a sister who's too cute will make you very popular! But alas, I didn't get it when I was with Mizuki.

I grabbed a cup from the server's side and immediately pressed the button for oolong tea.

"Kuremo-chan, you're the errand boy! Cool!"

Hikaru Hiragi lined up next to me with her wiggling fingers.

"Hmm, which one should I choose, huh?"

Unlike the other girls, she looked exactly like the one we met at school. I could feel her confidence that she didn't need to wear makeup. Her wavy bob and silky hair looked pure and natural.

I gave her a quick glance while pressing the button. Then, she opened her mouth as she put down her cup.

"Kuremo-chan's sister is really cute. I didn't know she really existed."

"Do you think she's a figment of my imagination?"

"I thought you were just a lolicon."

She stuck out the tip of her tongue and laughed jokingly. Honestly, he who did that gesture  naturally looked cute.

The fact that she could make conversation while pouring drinks without making others feel awkward showed how good her interpersonal skills were.

"Do you need help?"

"Well, can you get the tray for me?"

"Yes, okay."

Soyoka wanted orange juice while Mizuki is oolong tea ..... what else, huh? Ah, I'm sure it won't matter if I make a few mistakes, right?

"You and Mizuki are very close, aren't you, Kuremo-chan?"

"That's because we were in the same class last year."

"Oh, if I recall, I might have seen you a few times."

It wasn't uncommon for girls from other classes to come to school looking for Mizuki, so I stayed behind as long as they did. I myself had recognized Hikaru from last year because she was conspicuous, but her impression of me was obviously very weak.

"I think Kuremo-chan is a strange person for only talking about her sister all the time."

"Let me ask you, is there any other choice than talking about that overly cute Soyoka?"

"You see, you're really weird......"

That was a bit of a surprise.

Hikaru was laughing happily even in the midst of his silly chatter. No wonder he was so popular.

He was the opposite of Akiyama, who always had a sullen face and only smiled in front of Iku.

"Well, I'm glad you came today. Please get along with me too, okay!"

"So you can get close to Mizuki?"

"Yes, you're right."

Then, she gave me a high five. She's so honest.

"Don't you want to go to Mizuki's place? It's like a cabaret club there."

"Uh, Mizuki, he doesn't like that kind of thing, does he?"

"You've got it figured out."

"Anyway, I'm already one step ahead of them for being friends with you. So, I'll back off for today."

Mizuki didn't like being pushed too much. When I told the girls about this earlier, they instead said, "Ehh.... Kuremoto-kun, you shouldn't say that just out of jealousy, okay? Could it be that you're targeting me or something?"

From then on, I would never tell them again. After all, I didn't want to be with any woman other than Soyoka.

"Do you like Mizuki too?"

"Yes, I like him."

It was just a lighthearted comment, meant to make fun of me.

As I was carried away when I saw her face, her usual beautiful expression had faded and she was looking straight at me.

My finger, which I forgot to remove from the button, made her oolong tea overflow from the cup.

"Didn't you hear? I love, Mizuki."

"O-Oh, I see."

She's too popular, isn't she?

I'm sure the number of male corpses will definitely increase dramatically because of it.

As for Mizuki, he doesn't want a girlfriend. He just wanted an equal friendship without any love involved. But even knowing that, Hikaru still didn't give up. Her expression was so serious that I felt sure of it.

"So forgive me, okay? I can't return your feelings."

He poked my shoulder lightly in a playful way. The atmosphere of our conversation became relaxed.

"My feelings? Do you think you're cuter than Soyoka?"

"I can't beat her in that regard."

Of course. Soyoka was the cutest girl in the universe, so there was no way she could win over her.

Soyoka might miss me, so I have to come back soon!

I placed the filled cup on the tray and carefully lifted it up. I followed behind her, and capitalized with, "Please open the door."

"By the way, Akiyama-san didn't come at all, did she?"

".....I guess she's busy."

"Hmmm? Well, I don't care. At least Mizuki invited her."

Since a few days ago, it seemed like Hikaru had viewed Akiyama as her enemy. It was unusual for her to treat others with such contempt.

"You too, it would be better if you didn't come, right?"

"Why? I just don't want to bother Mizuki. I won't lose to the others whether I come or not."

Followed by Hikaru's manly statement, we arrived at the large room. As soon as she opened the door, she immediately went to talk to everyone with her usual cheerful expression. She always engaged with someone at least once, regardless of gender or group.

If possible, I hope she doesn't have any problems with Akiyama.

"I don't understand women...."

I mean, if it's related to Mizuki, please don't drag me into it!

I brought the drinks to the table where Soyoka and my friends were sitting with an uneasy feeling. However, even though I had brought her a glass of orange juice, she wouldn't look at me.

It doesn’t matter. ......I'm happy as long as Soyoka is happy........

"Soyoka-chan, do you want to sing something?"

"I do! Soka wants to sing a song about Minisuka-chan."

"Okay. Kyota, you know what I mean, right?"

Karaoke Soyoka! Great idea, Mizuki! Of course, I know what songs Soyoka likes.

As soon as the song started playing, Soyoka stood up with two microphones in her hands.

"Onii-chan! Let's sing too!"

"Soyoka, you ..... hiks."

You still remember me! I almost changed my job from your brother to your servant if you still didn't see me too. Hiks, I couldn't even look forward because of my tears.

Of course, I took the microphone because Soyoka had asked me to do so. But the main star was still Soyoka's beautiful voice. I had even learned how to sing the chorus, just in case something like this happened.

After the song started, Soyoka stood on a simple stage in front of the monitors and started singing along. Everyone clapped and listened to the song, so Soyoka's excitement continued to skyrocket. Soyoka who sang while swinging her body left and right looked like an angel. So cute!

I hardly sang at all, but when there were lyrics she forgot, I gently supported her. Since she can't read yet, even the karaoke screen feels pointless.

"Soyoka! You're so cute!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs as we entered the interlude. I'm glad I brought her here!

Applause broke out as the song ended. Everyone was crazy about Soyoka's cuteness.

At first, I was a little worried about bringing a kindergartner to a get-together because it might disturb them, but it seemed like everyone accepted it.

Soyoka came down from the stage and jumped onto my chest happily. I lifted her up with my left  hand and patted her head.

"Way to go, Soyoka!"

"Yes! Is Soka's singing good?"

"Of course! You're good at it! You're a genius!"

She smiled, showing her white teeth.

After that, time passed as the others sang including Mizuki, who had been coaxed by the girls, easily scoring the highest score.

By the way, about three people fainted when they heard Mizuki's sweet voice.

Soyoka chatted and sang for a while, but then she started to show signs of fatigue.

When she leaned back on the sofa and started talking a little, I evacuated her from there.

"Sorry, Soyoka looks tired, so I'll go home first."

"Oh, that's right. Sorry for making her come with us."

"No, I'm also glad that you took care of Soyoka earlier."

Soyoka also seemed to be satisfied while playing with the other siblings. She rubbed her eyes and waved her hand as she said, "Bye-bye!"

Afraid that she might fall asleep here, I left the money to Mizuki and went home with Soyoka.
