Chapter 48: Listen to my sophistry, no, listen to my explanation(1/2)
Autumn is here in a blink of an eye...
I leaned back on the chair, holding pure black coffee with condensed milk and sugar cubes in my hand, and looked at Senior Xingge who was working hard with a leisurely expression.
"...Why do you go to the "Stars" every two days?"
Senior Xingge held his eyes open and held his chin with his left hand, while his right hand was still flipping up and down on the touch screen of his laptop.
"I was purely dragged here by Kikuri-san... Anyway, it's the same whether I stay in Shinjuku or here."
I took a sip of the overly sweet coffee, pointed at Sister Juli who was drinking heavily on the ground, and threw the pot to her.
"Senior~ Do you still have photos of yourself in uniform?"
"What did you say all of a sudden?"
Senior Xinge turned his attention to Sister Juli who was drinking with a silly smile:
"Forget it Yusaku, why are you showing up at my house as you should?"
"Thank you for the bathroom—!"
"Tsk, pay me."
"Senior~ Talking about money hurts feelings, so go ask for it from Ikusaku-chan!"
???
I choked and coughed a few times, almost spitting out the coffee I just drank:
"Ahem! Why do you have to pay for your bath?! And is this a public bathhouse??"
"Oh... I owe Yusaku-chan so much anyway... we'll pay it off together then."
Sister Juli got up from the ground, put her arms around my shoulders, and said with a sultry burp of wine.
"...Pay me back all the 156,730 yen you owe after the next live!"
"Eh...? How come... at least, at least leave me some money to buy drinks!"
"Sister Kiuri, you should drink less wine... If you continue like this, you won't be able to save any money in your life."
"Yes, what's the matter..."
Sister Juli lay directly on my back, burping drunkenly:
"Anyway, there's Yusaku-chan, right?"
"...So you came here just to show off your affection?"
I calmly continued drinking coffee and said to Senior Xingge with dull eyes:
"No matter what, I would never be interested in an alcoholic."
"That's too much, Yusaku-chan..."
Seeing that I didn't resist, Sister Kiuri just pulled on me and drank the boxed Japanese sake through a straw:
"Actually...after I saw Xiao Hongxia before, I was wondering if you, senior, had gone through that period too! I really wanted to see senior's photos...after all, we only met in college~"
Patting my head, Sister Juli drank the remaining wine in the box in one gulp:
"Huha - and after all, he has the heritage of the Ichichi family, so he must be super cute~"
"...Do you want to use a method called death to help you sober up?"
Senior Xinge held two electric wires that were sizzling with electric light and stared at Sister Juli with dead fish eyes and responded expressionlessly... Has y become electroshock therapy?
"Oh, I'm too lazy to argue with you."
Senior Xingge put away the wires, put his hands on his hips and said helplessly:
"No, we don't have uniforms in high school. I don't know where the photos from middle school have been thrown."
"Hey~~~~"
Sister Juli turned her head to where Sister Pa was sitting:
"Where's Miss Pa?"
"Oh~ It's the same as Xinge."
"boring----!"
"Well, there's really nothing we can do about it."
Sister Pa squinted her eyes and recalled with a smile:
"Because I dropped out of high school after only one year, so I didn't leave any memories."
"I'm sorry, but why did Sister Pa drop out of school?"
"Ah~ Yusaku-chan is very interested in my affairs?"
Sister Pa tilted her head and sighed with a smile:
"Actually, it's not a big deal. Because I couldn't get up in the morning, I lost a lot of credits. When I came to my senses, I had to face the penalty of repeating a grade, so I just dropped out of school~"
It's even more outrageous than I imagined...
"So what about you? Since you can bring up this kind of topic, you must have something to spare."
Senior Xingge pulled the chair from the next table over and sat across from me. He held his cheek and said to Sister Juli:
"..."
Sister Juli suddenly stood up, walked to a box with "Ripe Mango" written on it not far away, and rummaged around... Why is that box still here?! It has been there for almost half a year, okay?
"——Okay! Let's take advantage of this rare opportunity to take some commemorative photos in Kawakami uniform~!"
Sister Juli took out a cyan JK school uniform with a butterfly collar from the box and tried to get away with it.
"Ah——! You guy, that's it!"
Senior Xing Ge, who was sitting calmly across from him, suddenly stood up, pointed at the navy blue uniform with blushing cheeks and said loudly.
"These are the clothes that senior has hidden deep in the closet~"
"You guys finally started burglarizing houses!"
"Hey... I'm just curious as to why the store manager has such clothes?"
"Ah...that's it."
Senior Xing Ge stumbled and explained in an extremely unnatural tone:
"I'm actually keeping it safe for them. The guests left it in the livehouse."
...Which jk would leave a shirt, jacket or even a skirt in a live house? The nature of it is not right.
"Anyway - senior and Ms. Pa, please go change and take a look!"
I don’t know when Sister Juli, who had a second jk suit in her hand, pushed the two of them to the second floor.
"Hey - wait, don't push!"
"Ah...? When did you add me?"
I drank my cold coffee and glanced at the school uniform I was wearing.
Yes, today is obviously the weekend, why do I still wear school uniform?
…
"I'm so used to it..."
He opened the collar of his white shirt slightly, put on a pink sweater, and wore a big loose black bow. Senior Xinge, who was wearing a miniskirt and bubble socks with a reluctant look on his face, lowered his head and muttered.
"Oh ho ho~ Although she appears to be the top of Junlin School, she is actually a hot girl who loves animation and is very gentle to otakus!"
Sister Juli enthusiastically added JK settings to Senior Xingge.
"What is that unpleasant setting of yours..."
"Ah, it feels pretty good~"
"Oh, Miss Pa, this navy blue long skirt JK school uniform paired with black stockings is unexpectedly suitable! Yes, yes - on the surface, she is a pretty high school girl, but in fact, she wears an ear bridge with full ear cuffs.
Evil girl!"
Why does Sister Juli know so much... Could it be that she is also an otaku who likes to watch anime?
"By the way! It just so happens that Ikusaku-chan is wearing a school uniform today, right~"
Sister Juli smiled like a little devil and twisted her fingers in the air:
"Hehe... why don't we just let Yusaku-chan act like a high school boy who has two attributes in one fell swoop?"
Hmm? Sister Kiuri is not a devil, she is clearly an archangel who understands the wishes of male high school students!
"...Isn't this a little bit?"
Senior Xing Ge didn’t object immediately?!
"Ah~ It always feels interesting~"
