Chapter 216: Shima is Not Honest
As I look around the stadium, there is no sign of Claudia-san or the devil doll.
（What in the world was happening…）
I mutter to myself.
The two of them suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared. I don’t know what’s going on.
（I doubt they could have just hit it off and gone off to play sowhere, though…）
Looking down at the field, I see that the won’s 200m race is in progress on the track.
After the n’s 400m, the won’s 400m, in which Saori-chan is competing, is supposed to start.
I unwillingly drew a lot of attention earlier, but no one was looking at anymore.
（Oh man, I’m tired all of a sudden…）
Almost at the sa ti I sit down on the back of the plastic and sighed, I saw Saori-chan running towards from the stairs.
「Onii-chan!」
「What’s wrong? Isn’t the 400 ters about to start?」
I asked, to which Saori-chan replied in a fidgety tone.
「W-well… O-onii-chan… you seed to be surrounded earlier」
「Oh, you saw it, huh? Actually, when I tried to take a picture of Saori-chan running, I was mistaken for a voyeur…」
「I see…」
「Yeah, that’s why I couldn’t cheer for you, I’m sorry」
「Eh, no, don’t worry about it! Speaking of which… where’s Fujiwara-senpai?」
「Hmm, Saori-chan, did you saw Fujiwara-san was here before?」
「Eh? Ah, umm… well, you know, she kind of eye-catching, and she looked like she was with Onii-chan earlier」
「Yeah, she stands out, doesn’t she? That blond hair of hers. Fujiwara-san said she was there to support her friend, but she seed to have gone away while I was surrounded. Maybe she’s at her friend’s place,」
「Oh, I see…」
Saori-chan suddenly looked relieved.
「But, is Onii-chan okay? Did they hurt you?」
「No, I’m fine. Thanks to an acquaintance who happened to be passing by and proved to that there was no such thing as voyeurism, I was fine」
Then she looked at with a subtle expression on her face, like she was trying to figure out my expression.
「They were… won, right? The two of them」
（I guess she saw them, too…）
「Yeah, one of them was a classmate of mine, but they had left」
As soon as she heard “they’re left”, her expression brightened up for so reason.
「I’m so glad… Onii-chan is popular… But I wonder if Onii-chan could have a lunch with 」
She smiled softly and seed to be full of cuteness like a small animal.
（So cute, So cute…）
I can’t help but think that anyone who could betray this girl would be a real devil.
「Don’t worry, I’ll keep my promise. I’m really looking forward to your lunch, too」
As soon as I said that and she lowered her eyes with a happy expression, I heard a familiar voice behind .
「Hey! You are Kijima, right? It’s been a while! It’s , it’s , Shima Natsumi, rember ?」
That’s Natsumi Shima, a.k.a. “Why(Nande) not(yanen)?”.
（Hey hey, Shima-san! I told you to pretend to be soone else, but why are you talking to like that?）
「Eh, ah? Uh, yeah」
Saori-chan also looked a little surprised and asked Shima-san.
「Shima-senpai, are you acquainted with Onii-chan?」
「Yes, we know each other. We were in the sa class in the first year. We sat next to each other, and we were pretty close! Right, Kijima?」
「Eh, well, y-yeah…」
（W-what the hell is she thinking?）
Even though I stared at her, she didn’t seem to be intimidated, on the contrary, she distorted her mouth as if it was a good thing.
「I see(Hoka), I see(Hoka), he is the beloved “Onii-chan” Moribe was talking about… So you were talking about Kijima, huh…」
「S-Shima-senpai!」
Saori-chan shouted loudly, and Shima-san shrugged her shoulders and waved her hand.
「No, no, just kidding, just kidding, don’t look so scary」
Then she shouted toward the stairs.
「Hey, Ui-chan, Kijima is here. You rember him, right? We were in the sa class with Kijima!」
And then…
「Hmm!? Ohhh!」
Tashiro-san ca walking toward us from the stairs, acting like a frightened little animal.
「Ah, oh, i-i-it has been a w-while, Confine-… Ki-kijima-dono」
「…Dono?」
Saori-chan tilted her head suspiciously, and Shima-san turned her face away, trying hard not to laugh.
Yes, Tashiro-san is the type of person who cannot perform as an actor.
She looks like a goblin who suddenly starts speaking human language, as often seen in fantasy.
I think because she thought this was a bad idea. Shima-san said sothing like a follow-up with a wry smile.
「Well, it seems that this area have been getting noisy, so we ca to check」
「Oh, I see. It seems that Onii-chan was mistaken for a voyeur when he tried to take a picture of 」
「Oh, I get it. Well, that’s what people think when they saw a guy like him holding a smartphone」
Shima-san points at with her finger and shrugs her shoulders.
（Okay, Natsumi will be punished later!）
Almost at the sa ti I decided so in my heart–
「H-hey, Shima, you’re talking too much!」
「That’s right, Onii-chan is popular guy!」
Tashiro-san and Saori-chan confronted Shima-san, and she hurriedly changed the subject.
「Ahaha, well, well. Anyway, shouldn’t the participants of the 400m race must gather soon? Moribe」
「Ah, yes, t-that’s right」
「Well, I know you’re worried about Kijima, but you need to concentrate on the ga. Co on! We’ll stay with Kijima for a while. Then nobody will bother him!」
When I opened my eyes in surprise, Shima-san gave a wink.
「Are you sure?」
「I don’t(Kamahen) mind(Kamahen). Anyway, our turn is the last one in the morning, so we’ve got a lot of ti on our hands」
Then Saori-chan turned to and smiled.
「That’s good, Onii-chan, I feel a little relieved now」
「Ah…yes」
「I’ll do my best. Please support 」
「Oh, Leave that to 」
「Okay, I’ll be going」
Saori-chan ran off, looked back at before the stairs, and waved happily.
I watched her go down the stairs and gave Shima-san a blank stare.
「…Hey」
「What’s with the scary face?」
「I told you to pretend to be soone else」
「I did. But I can’t help it. Look at her. Ui-chan’s on the verge of exploding because you’re flirting with one girl after another」
When she said so, Tashiro-san was sitting on the seat next to , looking up at with moist eyes.
「Oh, I’ve missed you Confinent King… I couldn’t stand the thought of you in the sa stadium…」
Tashiro-san’s cheeks flushed, and Shima-san shrugged.
「Right? Ui-chan’s mood is getting worse and worse since you’ve been neglecting her since the sumr vacation started, and it really annoys . Ui-chan misses you every day」
「Oh… I see. Is Tashiro the only one who misses ?」
「O-ohh, of course!」
「I see, heh~…」
「What are you trying to say?」
「No, nothing…」
Then, Shima-san turns away.
「You anie… If you say I want to be with you… of course I do」
I could see that her neck was turning red.
（She’s not honest… but that’s what makes her cute）
「But I promise to support Saori-chan」
I said with a wry smile, and Tashiro-san nodded broadly.
「Of course. But after the 400m run, Moribe will move to the second stadium to accompany Takasago」
「Hmm? What do you an?」
When I tilted my head, Shima-san stuck pointing her finger at my nose and spoke.
「From the ti Moribe finishes her run until the 3,000 ters we’re competing in, the ti is reserved! That’s what I’m talking about」
