Chapter 17: I don’t know what it’s like to be young these days…(almost the same age)

“I refuse.”

“Why?”

　She was surprised when I immediately dismissed her proposal.

“That is my line. Why did you think I would agree to it?”

　I was surprised at the look in my sister’s ( temporary ) eyes, but how could she come up with a suggestion like that from there?

“Just agree to it! Let’s just be bonded by our own kind and nod our heads and say, ‘It can’t be helped!'”

“I don’t get it.”

“Gununu…! That’s right! How much money do you have now, Onii-chan?”

“Money? About fifty thousand yen?”

　I brought a lot of money because I was planning to stock up, but I couldn’t buy much, so I have that much.

“All right! Onii-chan! If you come to my house and cook for me, give me the fifty thousand yen and I will do something nice for you”

“Goodbye.”

　What is this girl saying out of the blue? I don’t know what it is about young people these days… I don’t think it’s much different.

“Wait⁉︎ Why are you leaving⁉︎?”

“Of course I am! If you wanted to get laid, you could’ve done it with that old guy.”

“No, he’s not my type. No, I don’t like that guy, and I don’t want my first time to be with an old guy.”

　I thought you were supposed to choose a partner based on your preferences in dating. And this is your first time? I don’t understand it anymore.

“I don’t understand what you’re saying. What are you doing?”

“Uhm, to tell you the truth, I’m broke, so I thought I’d give it a try. I thought that if I was alone in the park at night, someone would call out to me, and I caught the old man from earlier. But I didn’t like him, so I tried to refuse him, but he kept pestering me, and I was in trouble.”

“Fumu. So?”

“You seem to be my kind of guy and I like your face, so I thought I’d take you home.”

“Goodbye.”

“Like I said, wait!”

　I was about to walk away when she grabbed me from behind. Oi, stop it.

“You don’t mind if your cute little sister falls prey to an old man.”

“You’re trying to get me eaten. And You’re not my sister.”

　I only have one sister, Sakuya.

“You get my first time with such a pretty girl for only 50,000 yen and a home-cooked meal⁉︎ What’s wrong with that⁉︎”

“You’re so confident. And don’t say “first time” out loud.”

　She’s certainly good looking. She wears clothes that make her look like she’s having fun, but her semi-long chestnut hair is silky smooth and she has a nice face.

“That doesn’t mean I can’get caught if I mess with you. If you don’t have the money, go cry to your parents.”

　When I told her that, she took her hand away from mine and said in a whisper.

“…My parents died in an accident.”

“Heh. Maybe you have relatives, and an inheritance?”

“That’s too easy! Normally you’d feel sorry for them.”

“You want me to pity you?”

　When I said that, her previous vigor disappeared and she looked at me again with a thin smile on her face.

“No, you don’t know anything about me, and if you tried to pity me, I would have seriously lost my temper.”

“That’s fine.”

“Fufufu, That’s a good one, Onii-chan. I like it.”

　What kind of life is this girl leading when she says that in a different tone and with a thin smile? I’m not interested.

“You should atleast be interested in…”

　Even if you let out a sigh like that.

“Well whatever. Onii-chan, it’s true that I don’t have any money, so can you at least make me dinner?”

　The girl with the flimsy smile and cloudy eyes said that in a light tone.
