【★☆★Notice to All Readers★☆★】 There is an important announcement in the afterword.
It’s a very crucial message.
Please read until the very end.
Nanako, my twin sister who’s in high school, is thinking about taking the entrance exams for Hokkaido University.
Using it as an excuse to scout out the place, we had come up to Hokkaido.
“I’ve finished the ramen, what are we doing next?” “…Umm”
Nanako rubbing her belly.
Speaking of which, she really did eat a pretty large amount. “Let’s take a walk for a bit.” “Yes sir!”
Thinking it was better to have a destination in mind if we were going to wander anyway, I headed toward the Sapporo Clock Tower. Pling~♪ “…Huh?” “What’s wrong?”
“…It’s from Akari-chan. Where are you right now?” “Headed to see the Clock Tower.”
Nanako taps out a LINE message on her smartphone.
She just sent me a picture of the ramen a moment ago, so what was that last question about?
As if she were listening in on us… “You actually think I’d come to Hokkaido?”
“…I doubt it. Akari never said anything like that.” “Yeah.” “Understood.” “‘…………’”
Both Nana and I know just how impulsive and decisive Akari can be.
Maybe she really did decide to come here.
“Just send me the hotel location, for now. It’s a precaution, anyway.” “…Y-Yes sir.”
But she said she’d stay home and keep watch. What change of heart could this possibly be?
Perhaps being left out was something she truly disliked after all.
If that’s the case, I feel a bit guilty. I didn’t understand her feelings well enough.
“…I think she probably just felt envious.” “Do you think so too, Nana?”
“Yes. Besides the Teacher, Akari tends to be quite impulsive in her decisions,” Nana said with a faint smile.
“The Teacher already asked her if she wanted to come, and Akari herself once refused. So there’s no need for you to worry about it.”
It seemed my facial expression had clearly betrayed my inner conflict.
Damn, having a kid worry about me. I still have a long way to go. “Thanks, Nako.” “Hehe ♡”
Both you and Akari are thoughtful, smart kids. You’re a gentle child, Nako. I really like that side of you. 【★Very Important Announcement】 I’ve posted my new work! The title is:
“I’m a Genius Alchemist Who Travels Wherever I Please—The World’s Best Court Alchemist Reincarnates into a Future World Where Potion Technology Has Declined, and Unconsciously Helps People Until They Start Treating Me Like a Saint”
