Chapter 45: Don’t Look Ange! How Vulgar!

Reading Settings

“Guhehehehe…”

“Eek!”

“Hey, hey, do you wanna take a peek into the abyss of the world with me, sweetie?”

“N-no way! I feel like I'm gonna peek into something I shouldn’t!”

Twenty minutes after the call ended, my tiny apartment had gained a new guest: a super weirdo perv, and Ange was cowering behind me like a frog staring down a snake.

“So, where exactly did you kidnap Ange from?”

“Could you not say something so dangerous, Delmonte-san? She’s my legitimate half-sister.”

“What? Did you do a DNA test or something?”

“Had no choice.”

When Ange was born, there was a big fuss, and I had no option but to show the DNA test results to my relatives. After my old man died, I lost touch with most of them; Jones-san is pretty much my only contact now.

“This could easily be counted among the world’s seven wonders… I mean, look at her! Curly golden hair, heterochromatic eyes, a tiny face, and yet she still has that Japanese touch. Hey, Ange-chan, how about debuting as a model at our agency? You’d be super popular!”

“N-no, thank you…”

Well, it seems Ange immediately sensed how dangerous Kenzaki-san was. She’s terrified and won’t talk. Where did all that fiery determination to confront me go?

“O-Onii-chan, her eyes aren’t normal… She looks like a predator who’s looking for a chance to pounce on her prey!”

“Impressive, Ange. You noticed that right away. Does this clear up your suspicion that I was cheating?”

Ange nodded vigorously, almost like she was headbanging. There’s no way Crazy Psycho Lesbo and I would ever have a strange relationship.

Now that the suspicion is cleared up…

“Anyway, Kenzaki-san, could you stop scaring Ange unnecessarily? You do remember why you’re here today, right?”

I said this firmly. I couldn’t bear to see Ange trembling in fear like she used to when she was bullied. Ange’s enemies are my enemies. I wish she’d stop with those predator eyes already.

“…Oh, right. You are quite brother, aren’t you? So, about what I wanted to discuss.”

She quickly switched gears, as expected of a top-tier celebrity model.

“I’m officially debuting as a singer.”

“…Oh, you mentioned that before. And?”

“Well, as part of the promotion before my debut, I’ll be performing at your university’s Spring Festival.”

“…What?”

I had completely forgotten about the Spring Festival. Our university has a Spring Festival just before Golden Week, kind of like a miniature version of the campus festival. It started because interactions between students had decreased due to various issues.

“…You didn’t push for this yourself, did you?”

“Hehe, I’ll leave that to your imagination.”

I get it. From the university’s perspective, it’s a dream come true. A hot celebrity voluntarily promoting themselves.

“So, I want you to bring Mii to me during that time. Create an opportunity for us to talk directly.”

“…Ha~. You're going out of your way for this?”

“It’s a top priority for me.”

“…”

I thought for a moment.

Given Kurebayashi-san’s current mental state, it might be manageable. If it were her from yesterday, it would have been nearly impossible.

“If you set that up, I’ll handle the mixer for you.”

“…Seriously? You won’t go back on your word?”

“Of course! I won’t dishonor the path of Yuri!”

In my mind, the victory anthem began to play. This was my win!

Just then, Ange tugged on my shirt.

“Mixer? What’s that, Onii-chan?”

“Don’t worry about it, Ange. It’s an adult thing.”

“And the Spring Festival? Why didn’t you tell me about such a fun event, Onii-chan?”

“I kinda forgot too…”
