Playing with Seo-a was so much fun that by the time I came to my senses, the sun was already beginning to set.
…Is this really okay? Do Stellas usually have this much free time?
“Um, Seo-a…”
“Unni.”
“…Seo-a Unni. Is it really alright to just play games like this?”
“It’s fine. Yu-jin finished all her work for today, right? Other Stellas also decide how to spend their free time after they’re done with their duties.”
Huh… so it really is this laid-back. It’s like being part of a privileged class.
Well, it is a privileged class… I don’t know all the perks yet, but they’re definitely admired by other students.
“Well, even so, it’s not good to stay on the rooftop for too long, so shall we go down now?”
“Okay.”
After neatly clearing up the remaining traces of our fun on the rooftop, Seo-a and I walked out, hand in hand.
Or rather, should I say, my hand was held.
“Um, do we really have to hold hands?”
“…Is it not okay?”
Her voice trembled slightly, laced with anxiety.
Seo-a doesn’t seem to have an affection deficiency… but she’s more of a clingy type than I thought.
“It’s okay. It’s not like they’ll wear out or anything.”
Squeeze.
She told me to call her “Unni,” but her actions are totally like a younger sibling.
Even though she’s much taller and bigger than me.
Still, I like it.
There are so many perverts in this school, it’s been a little tough. She feels like the only source of healing. Even Airi has some perverted tendencies…
I kind of want to dote on her.
“Hey, Seo-a Unni. Want me to pat your head?”
Click.
Seo-a, who was locking the rooftop door, seemed surprised by my words and quickly came to my side, bending her knees.
I know she has to do this because of the height difference, but it’s kind of irritating.
Stroke, stroke.
“Feels good?”
“…It’s kind of awkward.”
That wasn’t the answer I was expecting.
Her face is also subtly frowning. Does she not like being petted…?
“It’s… almost the first time I’ve been treated like this…”
“Huh… Didn’t the grandmother who gives you games dote on you?”
“I rarely see Grandmother… I mostly receive games from her maid.”
Hmm, being super-rich must be tough.
Ahh… I miss my grandma. She would buy me any game I wanted, directly.
Stroke, stroke.
“Um, it’s okay now, so could you stop petting me?”
“No way. It feels nice.”
Seo-a’s face grew redder with each stroke.
She doesn’t seem to be aware of it, but her hands, resting on her knees, are gradually clenching, wrinkling her skirt.
I’m probably the only one who can see her like this in this school.

“Okay, I’m satisfied! Let’s go.”
Just as I was about to remove my hand from her soft hair, my wrist was suddenly grabbed.
“J-Just a little more…”
Shiver.
Seo-a looked down at me with her beautiful eyes, usually sharp, now slightly narrowed.
I don’t particularly enjoy teasing people, but why do I especially want to tease Seo-a?
“No.”
“Ah…”
“Not today.”
It was so fun to see her expression change with every word, I couldn’t help but tease her.
“So, look forward to tomorrow, Unni?”
“…Yes.”
My captured wrist had somehow transformed into tightly interlocked fingers.
I’ve never had siblings before, but playing like this makes it feel like I actually have an older sister.
* * *
“Greetings…Kyaa!”
On our way back to the dormitory with Seo-a, every student we met would greet us and then let out a strange scream before running away at lightning speed.
Is it that weird for Seo-a and me to be together? We worked together this morning.
“Hey, Seo-a Unni. Aren’t all the students here from wealthy families?”
This was the question I was most curious about.
Isn’t this supposed to be a prestigious girls’ school? But why do they all act so strangely… like teenage boys.
“…It’s embarrassing. There are probably a lot of students who advanced through the affiliated schools. Um, it’s… a culture that’s somewhat tolerant of homosexuality.”
“Homosexuality?”
Well, Airi and Catherine both have those tendencies, but do the students who just ran away have anything to do with that?
“They probably thought we were dating. I’ll ask the newspaper club tomorrow to publish an article about me giving you the Rosario. It’ll be resolved quickly, so don’t worry about it.”
Ah, that kind of issue?
Well… I guess we have been holding hands. I’d probably think the same if I saw others like that.
“Okay, okay. Mystery solved! I was wondering what was going on.”
“…Do you not care if rumors spread that you’re dating me, Yu-jin?”
I have a bad reputation among the students.
She trailed off at the end, but I heard her clearly.
Did Seo-a know about those rumors? Well, it would be strange if she didn’t.
“It’s fine. If anything, it’s a benefit for me if rumors spread that I’m dating a beautiful girl like Seo-a Unni. Hehe.”
Squeeze, squeeze.
Our interlocked hands tightened, and our bodies, which had been slightly apart, moved closer together.
Because of the height difference, Seo-a’s chest pressed against my head, and I could feel its softness. My face flushed.
“Let’s go back to the dormitory.”
“U-Uh…”
How did we even make it back to the dorm?
With every step, the soft, swaying sensation of her chest against my head made it impossible to focus on anything else.
Holding hands was enough to cause misunderstandings, but if anyone saw us like this… would any excuse even work?
Creeeak.
“Yu-jin! You’re back…”
It felt like it had been ages since I last returned to the dormitory.
As soon as I opened the door, Airi, who greeted me cheerfully, froze mid-stride with her arms outstretched.
“Hi, Airi.”
“S-S-Seo-a…”
Seo-a, who had been clinging to me, stepped forward and positioned herself between Airi and me.
“…Why are you back with Yu-jin? You usually come back alone late at night.”
ZAP!
“Would you mind not calling her Yu-jin? She’s my little sister now.”
“…Huh?”
Airi, who had been glaring at Seo-a, glanced blankly at me standing behind her, then shifted her gaze to my neck.
The silver Rosario shone brighter than the pristine white uniform.
“W-w-what the…!”
Squeeze.
“I told you, she’s my little sister. I’m going to announce it widely through the newspaper club tomorrow, so please don’t call her Yu-jin from now on.”
Nuzzle, nuzzle.
…Seo-a’s using me to taunt Airi, isn’t she? How did this happen?
Haven’t these two known each other much longer than I’ve known them? I thought they’d be at least a little friendly since Airi has a good personality.
“Seo-a Unni, stop teasing Airi. Airi is also my unni.”
“Yu-jin…!”
Airi and I made a promise.
She’d call me “unni” in exchange for me doing the dishes and cleaning. It’s a rule, and I have a conscience, so I can’t break it.
“…Why?”
“Because we promised.”
Seo-a stared intently at me.
When it was just the two of us, she seemed like a gentle lamb, but now she felt like a ferocious beast.
If she was kind to others like she is with me, she’d have more friends.
“Sigh, fine…”
“Thanks for understanding, Seo-a Unni.”
I pulled both of their hands and hugged their slender waists tightly.
Normally, I wouldn’t have the strength to do this, but they obediently let me, making it possible. This shows that they both had the will to reconcile.
By the way, they both smell nice.
And it feels good to have two soft, large chests resting on my head.
Hehe, heehee… is this what they call “a flower in each hand”? I like it.
“Yu-jin. You seem to be enjoying yourself.”
While I was enjoying the flowers in each hand, I flinched in surprise at a silhouette approaching from afar.
The now-familiar nun’s habit and beautiful appearance.
Catherine…
“…It seems you’ve become close with Seo-a as well.”
Catherine’s sharp gaze was fixed on the silver Rosario on my chest.
Unlike Airi and Seo-a’s glares, this felt like it was piercing my heart.
Was it my imagination, or did her blue eyes seem deeper and darker than usual?
“Everyone, it’s dinner time. Please gather at the table.”

After Catherine finished her business and returned to the kitchen, the rest of us, caught in an awkward silence, moved towards the dining table without a word.
Thinking about it now, it’s childish that we even fought like that.
Well, I wasn’t at fault. I felt like a shrimp caught between two whales.
As I continued to grumble inwardly while walking, I was unconsciously drawn to the delicious aroma wafting from the kitchen.
Catherine busily carried dishes to the table, and—our eyes met.
Smile.
Even though we were some distance apart, I could clearly see her face and the way her soft lips curved into a smile.
‘Don’t lock your door tonight.‘
Thump, thump.
Even though I didn’t hear it aloud, the feeling of her whispering in my ear made my heart race.
My feet, licked and sucked by Catherine last time, tingled.
I unconsciously nodded.
“…Yu-jin?”
Did Seo-a, walking next to me, find that strange? I could only feign ignorance and pretend nothing happened.
Yeah, it’s really nothing. She’ll just come and… lightly bite my neck like last time…
Ahh, I’m being influenced by this school too.
I’m crazy, why am I… slightly looking forward to it?
* * *
Munch, munch.
Dinner time for the four of us, excluding Josephine, who hadn’t returned yet.
The food was delicious and the tea was excellent, but for some reason, there was very little conversation between us.
“Yu-jin. What would you like to eat next time?”
“…Put me down.”
Well, of course. I’m being held by Catherine.
“I can’t do that. Unfortunately, a chair broke, so we only have three tonight.”
“Then I’ll eat later.”
“As a Sister, I can’t watch a little lamb go hungry.”
This is hopeless.
No matter what I say, she’s determined to hold me while I eat.
“…Catherine. Would you give Yu-jin to me? I’ll hold her while she eats.”
“That won’t do either. A little lamb eating uncomfortably? I’d be disqualified as a Sister.”
I’m the one eating uncomfortably right now!
But if I say that, who knows what she’ll do… Ugh, this is an abuse of power.
“…Catherine.”
“Yes, Airi?”
“May I take Yu-jin with me tomorrow? I’d like to show her my work.”
“…Alright.”
Huh? That’s fine? Well, I don’t mind.
I wonder what kind of work Airi does… Judging by her appearance and personality, something literature-related?
“Yu-jin, you should eat your fill tonight. Tomorrow will be a very tiring day.”
“Yes, yes, eat a lot! Yu-jin!”
…What are they really planning?
