When the chairman called Maple and Furano to himself, he said one favor.

"I forgot the basket with the equipment in the student club room, and I'd like you and Maple to fetch it, if you like"

"Roger that!

"Yes, I understand!

When the two were comfortable, the chairman handed the jacket he was wearing to Maple.

There will be no problem walking on campus in a swimsuit, albeit a holiday on a boulder.

Taking that into account, action could have been observed without words.

When Maple received it, he thanked you small and followed you behind Furano.

But from me, I worry too much.

A short relationship, but I understand that you're not a bad junior.

However, the anxiety element has not completely disappeared.

As I set my gaze on the chairman, the chairman looks back and his gaze crosses.

I know, but with a smile on his face, the chairman gave instructions to the other.

"Miura, you stay with us, I'll change the job"

When I got off the observation deck, I took turns with Miura, who was sprinkling water, and now the chairman started sprinkling water into the pool.

Miura also walked out to the student council where the two headed without saying no because it was an instruction from the chairman.

Well, now at least you won't be taking weird action, Furano.

With the loss of material of concern, he was called from next door when he resumed the work in front of him.

As far as I know, only a limited number of people talk to me, but this time it was a voice I wasn't used to hearing.

"You're a good sister."

"... sort of"

It was Koizumi who talked to me.

Koizumi muttered as he looked in the direction the three of them had left.

Sure, maple is a good kid, no matter who sees it.

It's not about grades, it's about dating people.

I know exactly where I stand and don't imitate past.

Now, take the initiative and do the work yourself.

I think he's a very good sister from my brother's point of view, the way he responds with a smile and no offense to anyone.

I can't deny the possibility that my brother is too bad with people...

"I heard she's beautiful and her grades are top of her class... plus she understands how to deal with people"

……

Koizumi's words sounded like they were compared to someone else.

No, is it something like overlapping rather than comparing?

"Don't you ever find it hard as a brother with a sister like that?

Koizumi said as he was asked a simple question.

The answer came out in me so much that I didn't have to think about the wonder and the question.

"I've never felt like a big deal before because my sister is good"

Brothers and sisters have a lot to do.

Because it's just different gender and many things are different.

But if my sister asks me if it's hard because of her excellence, no.

It is true that the advantages and disadvantages of brothers and sisters are familiar people, but thus they become clear.

My father often tells me that.

My sister is so good, but I wondered if I, my brother, could work a little harder.

I'm sure it's not just my family, it's probably a natural conversation if you're in a family with siblings.

It's only natural to be nearby and be seen as comparable.

Instead, they may feel they are more overlooked for not even making comparisons.

But that's not why it's so hard.

There's a personal difference from here, but when it comes to me, I'm ”used to" situations like that.

The girl I met before my sister was just as good, even better than that.

My first same-sex friend ever made anything.

These days, a girl sitting next to her had comparable abilities to the two of them.

In addition, I have a sister in the house who is not as good as I think she is and her siblings.

Someone similar was close to me wherever I went.

Maybe that's why I got used to it.

At the same time, I understood that I was not highly capable.

I don't like being compared because I still have expectations for myself somewhere.

I get sensitive to being compared because I can't give up that I'm better.

I threw away such pale expectations a long time ago.

I've decided from the outset that I should do something commensurate with my abilities rather than be desperate and disappointed.

Well, if you're about me, it's until you're too compared to feel nothing.

Besides, my sister has long missed me, my brother.

I follow him around behind me, and now he follows me side by side.

Now that my parents are traveling abroad, I am also just one family member in the house.

I can't tell you how hard it is to have a sister like that with a ripped mouth.

No matter where you go, you're no different than your little sister.

The only thing is that I'm sorry I can't make you brag as my brother in the opposite pattern, but it's not hard.

So my answer was out the moment I was asked.

Koizumi had a sight for me that resembled envy.

"Makoto, you're amazing... I don't have the same answer."

"You have a sister, too?

For the first time, I talked to Koizumi about something other than school related.

Sometimes I would have spoken more normally about the presence or absence of my sister.

Even if they belonged to the same organization, it became clear that they were not communicating.

Koizumi shook his head to the side of my question.

"I'm an only child... but maybe I'm in a similar position to you"

The gaze of Koizumi, who replied so, was directed at one woman, not me.
