I paid off the debt for the most beautiful sisters in the school, and then they barged into my house where I live alone. “Please go back home; you don’t need to repay the favor.” “No way.” “We don’t want to~☆”

The shopping was over, and some time had passed on a certain holiday.

“Good morning, Seiichiro-kun.”

As usual, Karen wakes me up promptly in the morning. She does, but…

“……………Can’t I just sleep in today?”

“If your daily routine gets messed up, it’ll be hard when school starts, you know?”

Ugh, she’s so serious.

I understand that it would be problematic if I started to skip school before graduating.

“Sigh. Alright, I get it. I’ll get up. —Yaaawn.”

I’m sleepy.

“Oh, and also. There’s something I’d like to talk to you about.”

“Hm~?”

What’s the matter this early in the morning?

“It’s about Erika.”

Erika? What happened to her?

Actually, since the day we went shopping for clothes, Erika has been in a good mood. Not just that, she’s been clinging to me more and more, to the point of being annoying.

When I’m playing games in my room, she bursts in saying, “I want to play too!”

We also went to a big home center to look at furniture, and she was extremely bothersome there too. She kept clinging to me.

“Anyway, what about Erika?”

To my question, Karen takes a deep breath.

“What do you think of Erika as a girl?”

“—What?”

I’m taken aback by the unexpected question.

“No, sorry. Maybe it was a bit too sudden. I think Erika probably has feelings for you. I’m not sure what kind yet, but—”

“Woah, hold on. Calm down. My brain’s not processing this right after waking up. Also, back off a bit.”

“Oh, sorry. It’s just that when it comes to my sister, I can’t help myself.”

Karen takes a moment to reset the atmosphere.

“Please think about it later, at your own pace. I think it would be a positive addition to your life. Because Erika is really a wonderful girl.”

Think, huh?

“Alright, breakfast is probably ready, so please come down soon.”

Karen quietly leaves the room.

Think, huh? About Erika?

“I love you, sister.”

Erika told me that Karen has feelings for me.

Karen told me that Erika has feelings for me.

—So that means…

“They’re both wrong!!”

What do they mean, they know each other the best?

I seem to be the only one who knows the truth!

Both are mistaken and are recommending each other to me!?

“Sigh…”

It’s not like I was seriously expecting anything, but still.

Well, it’s good to know that even if they don’t see me as a man, they at least like me as a person.

“—Wait, no. That’s not it. Am I stupid?”

I accidentally blurt out my thoughts.

Why should I be happy or sad about being liked by someone? That’s not necessary in my life.

I decide to blame it on being half-asleep and forget about it.
