Chapter 60: The Promised Punishment Game

It was Saturday, the week of the match.

It’s a Saturday and Sunday, are days where I can take it easy and sleep in since there’s usually nothing special going on during the weekend, but today I woke up a little bit earlier than usual.

It was because I had an important errand to run.

It’s an errand I’m both looking forward to and also slightly dreading at the same time.

It’s about 80% fun and 20% scary.

“Fua~, Good morning Rinke.”

When I went down to the living room, I saw that Rinke was already up and ready and was in the middle of making breakfast.

She had a side tail that was tied up with a scrunchie.

“Morning, Onii-chan. You’re up unexpectedly early today.”

“I’ve got things to do today. So, you don’t need to make lunch for me.”

I already told her that last night, but I’ll just say it again to be safe.

“Yeah, I remember. Then maybe I’ll go out to eat too. It’s been a while.”

“Did you have any plans today, Rinke?”

“Well, no. I don’t have any plans to hang out with my friends, and I’ve already finished my homework.”

“Eh… Well, why don’t you come out with me today then?”

“Eh? Ah? Aren’t you going on a date with Sei-chan, Onii-chan?”

“No, Sei-chan is part of the group but it’s not a date.”

“You mean it’s just a hangout between good friends? If that’s the case, I’d feel even more awkward if I went with you.”

“It’s not exactly a hangout either.”

“What the hell are you doing then…?”

“Cooking training?”

“Eh? Sei-chan can’t cook? That’s surprising. I thought she could.”

“No, Sei-chan can do it very well. The problem is a friend of hers. I’m talking about teaching her how to cook. How about it, will you come too?”

When I told her, Rinke’s face looked a little lost.

“Are you sure you want me to go? Won’t I be in your way?”

“You won’t be a hindrance, besides, you’re a good cook so I’m sure you’ll be welcomed there.”

“I-I’m not that good…”

“No, no. You always make me such delicious meals everyday.”

“A-Anyone can do that…”

“If anyone could do it, a person named Fujise wouldn’t exist in this world.”

She’s the kind of person, where even Sei-chan, who loves her so much, can’t help but need to spoon feed her everything about cooking.

“So, what do you think? I’m not forcing you to come, of course.”

“If Sei-chan and her friend’s fine with it, sure.”

“Ah, okay. I’ll contact them then. Also, in addition to Sei-chan and her friend there’s also one other person joining us.”

“Who? Is it Shigemoto-san, the one who came to our house before?”

“No, It’s an ojou-sama.”

“Ojou-sama?”

The only word that comes to mind, that fits her perfectly is ‘Ojou-sama’

Afterwards, I used RINE to ask if my sister, Rinke, could come to today’s training.

I also told them that she could help out too since she was a pretty good cook.

Sei-chan immediately gave an OK since she met Rinke before. Whilst Fujise immediately agreed saying “I’d be glad to be taught by her.”

And the Ojou-sama also seems to be fine with it.

When I told Rinke everyone agreed. She was half glad and half anxious.

“I’m glad but will it be okay? Won’t I get in the way?”

“Don’t worry, Rinke is a good girl and a really good cook.”

I pat her head to reassure her even further.

“O-Oi, Onii-chan, Why are you patting my head?”

“No, I just think it’s cute seeing how anxious Rinke looks right now.”

“T-That’s not a proper reason.”

Rinke scurries away from my hand as if she were escaping something.

“S-So, what time do we leave?”

“I think they will come pick us up around 11.”

“Pick us up? What do you mean?”

“Well, I guess you should just look forward to it.”

Rinke didn’t seem to understand what was going to happen, but she still got ready for 11.

Of course she didn’t wear any sort of uniform or formal clothes, she just wore some casual clothes.

She wore a tight red shirt with a beautiful white cardigan, and underneath that was a black skirt that fit just above her knees.

It’s a very simple but pretty outfit, and it suits Rinke very well.

She also wore some red shoes with slightly higher heels to match her current outfit.

“Rinke, you look very cute. That looks really good on you.”

“Ah, uh, t-thanks.”

Rinke’s cheeks reddened slightly, as if to hide her embarrassment, she pulled her hair over her ears.

She had a side tail just like her usual look, but her clothes gave off a different impression than usual.

I was also wearing some casual clothes of course. I wore some dark jeans, and a white shirt with a jacket over it.

I feel like I was fretting over my outfit a bit, but this will be what I was going to be wearing.

As soon as the clock struck 11, we left the house.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. Hisamura-kun and his sister.”

“Nah, we didn’t wait that long.”

“Is that so? Glad to hear it. Get in.”

In front of our house was the ‘Ojou-sama’, Tojoin-san, and right behind her was a limousine.

While the limousine was completely black in color, Tojoin-san had a pure white-looking dress.

She was wearing a large black belt around her waist, which showcased the slenderness of her hips and made her body look even more slender-like than usual.

Her golden hair flowed gracefully, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the word “Ojou-sama” could not be more appropriate for her outfit.

“E-Eh? I-Is this a limousine?”

Yeah, that’s the kind of reaction you get when you see something like this for the first time.

I was also pretty surprised when I saw it parked just right outside the front of the house for the first time.

Well, I did read the original with the knowledge that Tojoin-san was extremely wealthy. So I was probably less surprised than Rinke.

“Hisamura-kun’s sister, your name is Rinke, I believe? How do you do, I’m Kaori Tojoin.”

“To-Tojoin…san”

Rinke glanced at me with a sense of trepidation.

Even if you were in a lower grade, as long as you went to the same school, you would have definitely heard about Kaori Tojoin.

With a nervous look on her face. Rinke returned the greeting.

“N-Nice to meet you. I’m Rinke Hisamura. My brother has been indebted to you.”

“No, I owe him so much. I owe him much more than I can repay him.”

“Eh…!?”

Rinke widened her eyes in surprise.

It must have never occurred that Tojoin-san would have a debt towards her brother. 

I mean, I’m surprised too.

What does she owe me? What did I do?

“You’re showing a face that says that you don’t remember anything, Hisamura-kun.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. But did Tojoin-san really owe me anything?”

“It was at the amusement park. You blew the ice between us.”

“Ahh! You’re talking about that.”

It was about the amusement park date that day. When Tojoin-san didn’t interfere with Fujise and Yuuichi on their date.

Surely if I hadn’t been there, Yuuichi would have been taken away from her.

But it was just me stepping out of line. So it was pretty presumptuous of me to have her owe me anything.

“You don’t have to keep that in mind. It’s just something I did selfishly for myself.”

“Thanks to your selfishness I still have a chance in the race as well as a better relationship with my father.”

Oh right, I interfered in the relationship with Tojoin-san and her father too.

Now that I think about it, I did something pretty risky that day.

“Fufu, I still have a lot more to list but I’ll refrain for now. You should get in the car. Both of you.”

“A-Ahh, yeah, thanks.”

“S-Sorry for intruding.”

Rinke and I entered a very expensive and luxurious limousine, it’s making us feel very uncomfortable and out of place.

The chairs in the limousine are much softer and so much more comfortable than any couch, but it somehow also felt uncomfortable at the same time. 

I wondered if Rinke felt the same. She also had a backrest but rather than leaning on it she straightened her posture instead.

Tojoin-san, who chuckled at the scene, spoke to Rinke.

“You can make yourself comfortable here. After this, we’re going to stop by Fujise and Shimada-san’s place for quite a while, so you’ll get tired if you stay so stiff for so long.”

“A-Ahh… Thank you… Tojoin-senpai.”

“Fufu, I’m happy that you called me senpai. I never had anyone I could actually call kouhai, so I’m glad you called me senpai. You can call me by my first name, Kaori.” [TLN: On the off chance you don’t know. Senpai means senior while Kouhai means junior.]

“A-Are you sure?”

“Un, can I call you Rinke-san too?”

“Of course, Kaori-senpai. I’m honored.”

“Nice to meet you, Rinke-san”

Oh, I didn’t expect Tojoin-san to have such a good impression of Rinke.

I was a little worried about letting these two meet at first.

It was because in the original story, they had a cat and dog type of relationship.

In the original story, Rinke met Tojoin-san while she was in love with Yuuichi. So they started off on the wrong foot.

The way they called each other by their first name was unheard of in the original story.

This feels a little strange knowing how their relationship was like in the original story.

Well, the current Rinke doesn’t love Yuuichi now.

I don’t know what will happen anymore…

“Ahh, you cook everyday? That’s amazing.”

“I-It’s not a big deal. I’m used to it.”

“I’m sure it took a lot of effort to get there. Even if you’re used to it. That’s amazing.”

“T-Thank you.”

They are having a nice conversation right now.

This was a scene that never appeared in the original story.

I’m not sure what the future holds for us all, but them getting along shouldn’t be a bad thing for anyone.

As Rinke’s older brother. I’m happy to see Rinke get along with so many people.

Ah, but getting along with men is bad though. Especially Yuuichi.

If she falls for Yuuichi, she would be another losing heroine. So she definitely shouldn’t do that.

“You’re so cute. It’s such a shame you’re Hisamura-kun’s sister. Why don’t you become mine.”

“Hold up, why are you hitting on my sister?”

That came out of nowhere.

Did you like Rinke that much?

I’m surprised. Didn’t you just meet each other ten minutes ago?

“I’m a single child. So I’ve always wished I had a sister desperately.”

“I see.”

Yeah, I know this because it was mentioned in the original story.

“So if you become my sister, wouldn’t that just solve everything?”

“That doesn’t make any sense.”

It’s true that Rinke is a very pretty girl and has a really nice personality. But Rinke is my sister.

“So what do you think, Rinke-san?”

“Eh, you were serious?”

When I asked her that, she gave me a smile in return.

No, which is it? I have no idea at all.

If she was serious, no matter what Tojoin-san does, I’ll never let her take her away from me.

That’s what I thought, as I was about to interject in the conversation.

“I’m sorry, Kaori-senpai. But I’m a part of the Hisamura family and the sole sister of Onii-chan.”

“Rinke…”

Rinke said as she looked down, not making eye contact with either me or Tojoin-san.

But I could see her cheeks slowly being dyed a red hue.

Rinke, that was so incredibly nice to hear! I’m so glad-

“It’s because Onii-chan can’t live by himself. I’m certain he would die off if I wasn’t there to take care of him.”

“No no, that can’t be the main reason right?”

“O-Of course.”

I suddenly felt very depressed. But maybe it’s just Rinke’s personality, maybe that’s why she said that.

Hah, that’s so cute.

I’m lucky to have a sister like her.

“O-Onii-chan. Why do you have such a smug look on your face?”

“No, it’s nothing. I just thought that Rinke was very cute.”

“Ba-Baka. You’re making fun of me.”

“No, no. Of course not. Why would Onii-chan make fun of you.”

“You have a smug look on your face right now. Onii-chan no baka!”

It can’t be helped, my mouth loosened up looking at her. Rinke was just that cute.

“Ara ara, Rinke-san is also pretty good at flirting right in front of me.”

“I-I’m not flirting with baka Onii-chan.”

“Fufu, I wish I had a sister like Rinke-san. I envy you Hisamura-kun.”

“Fu~, Rinke won’t do this to anyone else, not even Tojoin-san.”

When I said that, Tojoin-san grinned at me.

Hmm? What is it? She looks like she’s up to something…?

“It seems like we’re about to arrive at Shimada-san’s house. Fujise seems to be with her too. So we’re all here.”

“Y-Yeah, I guess so.”

I feel something scary… Is she going to do something to us?

I don’t know what she’s going to do and I have no way of actually stopping her.
