Shimotsuki-san Likes the Mob (WN)

The Silent Girl Becomes Talkative Only in Front of Me　

I suddenly realized that school was already over.

As I walked home alone, my mind was filled with thoughts of those girls.

(Azusa and her friends are probably on a date with Ryuzaki right now.
……)

It’s not just my stepsister Azusa.
My childhood friend, Yuzuki, and my best friend, Kirari, all went shopping with Ryuzaki.
In addition, they were going to try on swimsuits.
…… The thought of Ryuzaki seeing the three of them in their swimsuits was enough to damage my brain.

Well, I’m not in a position to be jealous anymore.　

This is probably the resentment of an ugly mob character.
I really can’t get over the fact that Ryuzaki is able to do things that I couldn’t do.
I guess that’s what they call a ‘harem protagonist’.

“I’m home!”

When I came home, I was alone, of course.

My parents are away on vacation, so I’m living with my stepsister, Azusa.
Until a while ago, I was always with Azusa.
I’m sure we loved each other as a single family, but after meeting …… Ryuzaki, Azusa became obsessed with him and began to despise me.

You can’t blame her for that.

It’s not unreasonable for high school students in their adolescence to become obsessed with someone they love.

It’s my fault.

If I couldn’t keep Azusa’s heart intact, I shouldn’t be so rude as to wish for something else.

Now that I’m free, what should I do?

I had a math assignment to complete, so I headed to my room to get it done.

　…… I used to study together with my best friend Kirari.

The night before the exam, we were both on the verge of passing, so we stayed up all night studying hard.
I’ll never forget the feeling of our hands high-fiving after passing the exam.

Well, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to interact with her again.

“…… Oh, I forgot my textbook.”

I wondered if it was because I was thinking about something negative.

The bad things come in waves, and to my surprise, my math textbook was not in my bag.
I was in trouble.
…… The printouts for the assignment were quite difficult, so I couldn’t do it without the textbook.

In a situation like this, it would usually be easier to borrow it from my neighbor Yuzuki or my stepsister Azusa, but we haven’t been talking much lately, so it was awkward.

It couldn’t be helped.
It’s a bit far, but I’ll go to the school to pick it up.

That’s what I thought and went outside.
I walked to the nearest bus stop and was about to take the bus, when I realized that I had left my wallet at home.

(Forget it.
Let’s just walk.
……)

I was already tired.
I know it would be faster to go home to get my wallet, but I was in the mood to walk, so I decided to walk.

My school, Hakuun Daini High School, is about an hour’s walk away.
I could have walked there, but by the time I got there, it would be already past 5pm.

(It’ll be past 6:00 p.m.
when I get home.
……)

What should I eat this evening?　

In the past, my childhood friend Yuzuki would come over to my house to make dinner, but that hasn’t been the case lately.
My stepsister, Azusa, seems to be staying at Ryuzaki’s house and treating him to dinner, and I’m eating alone more often than not.

I’ve been eating alone more and more.
Well, I guess I should just eat something.
At worst, I wouldn’t die even if I didn’t eat.

With that in mind, I headed for the classroom.
Most of the students were already gone.
The only ones who were left were those who were doing club activities.

(I wonder if Azusa and the others are having fun right now.
……)

While thinking about this, I opened the door to the classroom.

I thought there would be no one there, but there was a girl inside …….

(Eh? Shimotsuki …?)

The seat right behind Ryoma Ryuzaki.

There, a white-haired girl was lying face down, breathing in her sleep.

“Nnya…… fumuu.”

Shiho Shimotsuki is asleep, brea
