"I-I'm sorry, I was too happy,"
"It's okay, "I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then Sensei, I will come here tomorrow every recess. But I can't keep going to your office, because if other people see me going to your office often, they might start thinking weird things."
"W-weird things, then if you have time, you can come to my house," Masami's face turned red when she said this.
'Wait at your house? Are you sure? You just invited a boy who's still in his puberty period to your house, 'I looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing the gazes directed at her, Masami's face turned bright red. She then said she wanted to exchange contact with me. I nodded, and we both exchanged contact.
"Do-don't worry, since you taught me to be a good teacher, I will also teach you to be a smart student," Masami said.
After that, she pushed me out of her office. She seemed too embarrassed to see my face now. Since I've been kicked out, I thought I'd go to the cafeteria to fill my stomach.
...
Arriving at the canteen, I ordered a meal ticket at the food vending machine. After that, I went to the counter and exchanged it for a curry. I have to say, the cafeteria here is huge. I think it's even as big as a gymnasium or even more. After all, there are a lot of students who are students here, so it's normal.
"Oii!! Ryou, here,"
Someone called me when I finished ordering food. I turned towards the voice. I saw Masao waving his hand at me. I then walked over to him and sat there.
"So Ryou, what kind of punishment did you get from Masami-sensei? "Masao looked at me with a strange smile.
"What are you thinking? She said she would properly educate me, that's all,"
"Hahaha, I'm kidding, I wanted to introduce you to them," Ryou said, shifting his gaze to the two people beside him.
It was a boy with round glasses and yellow hair with bangs covering his eyes. If you look closely, I can tell he has a handsome face, coupled with the color of his blue eyes. It's a shame because he's wearing round glasses and has such a hairstyle. People will see him as a difficult boy to approach.
The other was a man with a muscular build and black hair. From his appearance, he was a man who loved to exercise. He wore a headband on his head. This made him look conspicuous.
"I'm sure you must have forgotten their names. They are also in the same class as us. Let me introduce you, his name is Akira Takehiko and this one is Yuma Ryuji," Masao pointed at the bespectacled man as Akira Takehiko while the one wearing the headband was Yuma Ryuji.
"Nice to meet you," They said in unison, with a smile.
"By the way, Ryou, do you want to come with us after school? We will go karaoke to celebrate our first year at school, "Masao said.
"Sorry, I can't come with you. I have other things to do."
"Is that so? That's a shame. Though we might be able to invite some girls with us, "Masao smirked.
'Some girls? Come on, first, you guys have to polish your appearance before inviting a girl, 'I let out a small sigh.
Even though I don't have any experience with that, I certainly understand that their current appearance looks eccentric. People will think twice about going with them.
"Hey, did you hear that this year there are a lot of beautiful girls who are students in our academy? I also heard that one of the famous idols, Fuyuko Akari, is in our class. Isn't this wonderful? "Masao said, with a gleam on his face.
'Eh...'
"I also heard about it, but in class earlier, she wasn't there. I guess it's probably because of her job, but well, that's natural. She's an idol after all," Takehiko said while pushing his glasses.
'Eh, eeeeh?? Wait a minute, this composition is unmistakable,' I looked at the three of them in disbelief.
"Ahh, I can't wait to meet her. I want to get an autograph and see if I can shake her hand," Ryuji looks fascinated.
"Wait, wait a minute!!"
Hearing me say it in an elevated tone, they looked at me with puzzled looks.
'There's no mistaking!! The three of them are very similar to the companion characters in the story, who will be the third wheel,'
I've read a lot of novels, watched anime, and played various visual novels and eroge games, so of course, I'm no stranger to this kind of thing. There will be a companion character who becomes the third wheel, and they will say something like, "Have you heard of the girl in the class next door?" or "Look at that girl, she is one of the prettiest girls in the academy," and eventually the girl will fall in love with the protagonist, while they can only bite their fingers in envy.
'Wait, if I'm with them, won't I be a companion character now? No, that's impossible. After all, this is the real world, not a novel or anything like that. Haha...hahaha...'
Even though I thought so, a cold sweat ran down my back.
"Ryou, why are you shouting? People around here see you, you know, "Masao whispered.
I looked around me, I drew a lot of attention towards me. My face flushed with embarrassment, I sat down and continued eating. Masao and others covered their mouths, holding back laughter, blue lines showing on my temples, seeing their behavior.
"Nii-san, you're here. I was looking for you everywhere,"
Suddenly, something soft touched my arm. Looking to the side, Rin is currently hugging my arm with her cheeks puffed out.
"We're in different classes, so we won't be able to see each other when class starts," I said, smiling a little at her.
"I hate it. I can't be with Nii-san in the same class," Rin said sullenly.
"Stop complaining, you've grown. There will come a time when we will separate later,"
"Ni-san, y-you said we were going to separate? I don't want that to happen," Rin hugged my arm tighter with wet eyes.
I just sighed and turned to Masao. But what I saw were dark expressions on their faces.
"W-what?"
"Ryou, I didn't know you turned out to be that kind of person. Now I understand why you refused our invitation, "Masao nodded.
"Hah? What do you mean? "
"You have a beautiful little sister with you, and that reasons enough for you not to want to come with us," Takehito pushed his glasses.
"Oii, stop pushing your glasses,'
"Kuhh, I really envy you." Ryuji bit his shirt.
"Hihihi, Nii-san, are they your new friends? They're so cute, "Rin giggled.
When they saw Rin's sweet smile and cute laugh, their faces were mesmerized. They then gathered around me and greeted Rin.
"My name is Rokuro Masao. I'm his best friend." Masao smiled charmingly and stretched out his hand.
"I-I'm Akira Takehito. Nice to meet you," Akira said nervously.
"My name is Yuma Ryuji, and I'm Ryou's classmate," Ryuji smirked.
"What are you guys doing? She's my sister. If you dare to do something bad to her, you will know the consequences," I said with a sharp expression, like a mother lion protecting her cub.
Rin saw her brother protecting her, had an embarrassed smile. She felt a warm feeling in her heart, her eyes looking at her brother with a look of love. I felt Rin hugging my arm tighter, looking at her, Rin seemed to be breathing roughly, for some reason this made my hair stand up a little.
"Come on, Ryou, we just wanted to get acquainted. You don't have to worry, since she's your little sister, we'll also treat her like our own little sister, "Masao said, with a face that looked trustworthy.
"I don't care, sit down right now. You are blocking me from eating,"
I said, annoyed at them. They shrugged and returned to their seats.
"Ryou-Kun, may I sit here?"
I heard Sella's voice behind me and turned to her. She brought the food she had ordered, I must say, the portion of the meal was huge. Looking at her big chest, I guess it's natural.
"Nii-san, what are you looking at?" Rin tugged at my ear with a frown on her face.
"Ouch, ouch, Rin, release my ear,"
"Hmph, Nii-san, if you want to see, you can see mine to your heart's content when us home," Rin whispered in my ear with puffy cheeks before letting go.
My blood rushed to my head hearing what she said, calming myself down, I turned to Sella.
"You can sit here Sella, oh if you're wondering who she is, she's my sister," I smiled at her.
"Your sister? Nice to meet you, my name is Sella Graze, I'm a classmate of Ryou-Kun," Sella smiled kindly at her.
"Nice to meet you too. My name is Hachiro Rin," Rin smiled kindly, but beneath that smile, she looked at Sella with hostility.
'This girl is dangerous. She is very beautiful, and her demeanor also looks like a good woman. I have to be careful with this woman, she might snatch Nii-san from me,' Rin began to think of a plan to fight the charm of this woman in front of her.
