Episode 19.2: My Sister
What kind of story is she going to use to trick me today?
There was… Soji, who was looking forward to it after all.
Stop grinning, you devil.
“Iori, you haven‘t come home at all lately. Our mother was worried about you. Our father is gone, and our mother was also having a hard time on her own… I know you enjoy living alone, but why don’t you make her feel at ease once in a while?”
・I‘m the one who cares for her now that she’s alone.
・My older brother neglects me.
・If anything, he’s enjoying living alone.
It‘s a hat trick. Well, that was beautiful.
(T/N: A hat trick refers to three consecutive wins or achievements done by one person, just like in the sport of baseball and softball [3 consecutive home runs/3 strike outs in one game].
Shiori had made 3 consecutive points on her speech that’s why Iori said she had done the hat trick beautifully.)
“She didn’t ask me to come home, nor will she be happy if I come.”
“Don‘t be cynical! It was her kindness to stay silent. It’s just she doesn’t show it on her face that she was happy.”
What‘s more troublesome was that, unlike Sasaki, she has a wicked mind.
Lies are most effective when they are mixed with some truth.
By mixing in the truth that I hadn’t come home and had left my mother alone, she would make it very difficult for me to fight back.
That‘s how she does it.
“It’s my bad. I don’t get any money, so I have to work on a part-time job to make ends meet.”
That’s why I also try to counter her with a mixture of lies and truth.
It’s a lie that I feel bad, but it’s the truth that I don’t get any allowance.
“Don‘t lie like that! It’s natural for her to spend money on her own children, so how can she not be sending money? If you say anything bad about our mother, I’ll get angry, okay?”
D**n it.
I did lie, and I did say bad things about my mom.
I don‘t think I can beat her when it comes to arguing.
At this point, however, Akimoto unexpectedly interrupted me.
“I‘m sorry to interfere in your family’s affairs, but Kagami-kun is always working hard at his part-time job.”
Like Soji, I told Akimoto about my situation with the U.S. military.
I‘ve recently come to realize that Akimoto was a good girl, despite having muscle fetish.
“You must be Akimoto-san. Thank you for being friends with Iori. But working hard at your part-time job and despising your family were two different things.”
“Oh, what I mean is…”
The next spearhead, Jiho Akimoto, sank.
Yes, you did your best. It was just the wrong guy.
“Um, I don‘t want Yori to get in trouble.”
What a surprise, Cheena also comes in to cover here. You‘re going to be the middle man! Okay, I’m counting on you…….
“You must be the Christina I‘ve heard so much about. Well ……○▼※△☆▲※◎★●”
(T/N: I don’t get its whole meaning. But perhaps [because author-sama was lazy] Shiori had many things to say that the author used those special symbols. If someone knew any meaning behind this [that of course is related to the context and story], feel free to comment. Thank you ?)
“…Huh?”
In response to Cheena, Shiori went out of control and started to say things that didn’t make sense.
She was bluffing so brazenly that she seemed to take it for granted.
“Wow, you speak Russian too, Shiori-chan?”
“That‘s only natural, since Kagami can speak it.”
A bunch of onlookers who misunderstood.
No, no, no, no.
Of course, it wasn’t in Russian, so there was no way Cheena could understand it.
“Well, what did you say?”
“Hey, Shiori, don‘t make up some random language.”
She asked the inevitable question and I followed up.
But, of course, Shiori has already anticipated that much.
“It‘s a good thing that I’m not the only one who knows what I‘m talking about. I’m sorry, Christina-san. I‘m not very good at it, so I’m doing the best I can with my Russian right now. I‘m sure it’s hard to get through in Japanese as well, so let‘s talk again slowly?”
This girl was trying to deceive me!
Maybe she felt that taking it seriously would be too much trouble for Cheena.
“Hey, do you want me to translate for you?”
“Will you translate it as it is? Besides, this is our problem, not someone else‘s.”
Damn it, There’s nothing I can do!
Cheena’s screwed!
Honestly, I can make things worse. If I just wanted to control the situation here and now.
But cutting that trump card here wasn’t the way to go.
You can‘t use that trump card in the wrong way.
However, I don‘t like the idea of being beaten up.
In this situation, the only one who can stand up to her was the one who was also an outsider.
“Please, Soji! As Vice General…, no, General, I want you to take care of this!”
When I appealed to him with my eyes, Soji looked sincerely annoyed and demanded something in return for helping me with his eyes as well.
「Mackerel sushi.」
Mackerel☆sushi?
Okay, but are you sure that’s a good idea?
“Hey, it‘s Shiori-san.”
“Shimizu, what is it?”
They already reached an agreement? Soji opened his mouth sluggishly.
Shiori’s response was a smile mixed with irritation.
Soji was an irregularity for her as well.
“If it‘s ‘our problem,’ talk about it somewhere else. Don‘t do it where others can hear. It’s offensive.”
“Sorry….”
