"What's the condition?"269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD13ErcZyho
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09lEgLuOtJ
I wonder what kind of conditions she has for me. I'm already her brother so what else can she ask for? Perhaps…
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmopirJGB7T
"Whatever is going on in your head is wrong."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgCrpOUeIw
"Is that so? Then what is the condition you have set forth?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwkAXElHDp
"You and Hiyori-san won that secret raffle prize earlier today right?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSEosHzy1H
"Yeah from Ari- I mean yeah from that fashion and beauty company. What about it? Do you want to switch spots?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bl1WKu1Rd
Yoko shakes her head and continues, "No, nothing like that. They said something about a photoshoot, so if there is one, I would like a photo of you from that photoshoot."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39BIcqxk0u
"Is that all?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyCFTczhpQ
"Yep! I would like a small photo of you from that photoshoot. A photo small enough that I can keep in my purse if possible and if possible the largest photo of you as well."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAsGmT6iuD
"Alright then… I'll hand them to you once I receive it."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ5CXqhaz9
"Awesome!" Yoko jumps up in excitement and then checks her phone. To her surprise, the time shown was close to her curfew. "Oh, it's that late already? Haru-kun, can you please walk me back home?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6b4OI3RdE
"Sure thing." I paid for our drinks and left the cafe. Once outside, Yoko wrapped one of her arms with mine and guided me to her home. "Oi oi, why are we linking arms?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIRdIaI0gW
"It's so that other men can't get me. If they see that I have such a handsome boyfriend, they would back off. See? See?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiPk9TLbyZ
I glance around us and can see that men ranging from high school students to businessmen are eyeing Yoko. The jealousy in their eyes is quite scary; as if they're cursing me deep down.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPybhxJIHDg
"See Haru-kun? I wish you could walk me home starting tomorrow, but I know you have to go to your part-time job after school."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJ3AHFh2V
"I'm sorry Yoko-chan."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbvllJhlwz
"There's no need to be sorry, but I'm glad this is a secret between us. Knowing the gloomy Haru-kun is actually an ikeman is quite something to keep a secret." She giggles.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6R6rLdOHK
A few minutes later, we finally reached her home. It's a simple home that didn't stand out from the others. If I was wandering in this neighborhood, I wouldn't have guessed that this normal looking house would be Yoko-senpai's despite her noble-like personality.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUNRnp6Uwk
"Thank you Haru-kun for bringing me back home. As thanks, come to the Student Council room tomorrow during lunch. I'll have a surprise for you."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74WaBvQ1hn
"Understood. I'll come by tomorrow."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSaPmNtg1I
"Good! Now one last thing!" Yoko steps forward and slightly bows her head towards me. "Hm?" I was confused as to why she was bowing her head to me. A few seconds have passed of doing nothing and then Yoko exploded, "Geez Haru-niichan! Take a hint!! I'm asking for a head pat! Head! Pats! Pat my head now!!!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41GUjyGAQx
Surprised by her ferocious tone, I immediately complied because I was worrying what her neighbors or family would be thinking about.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JGS5AkcjM
"I get it! I get it! Please lower your voice. It's already night time."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kkujVgd0W
"Then give me my head pats please Haru-niichan."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmjbFV6YSy
"Understood." I took her hand, pull her towards me, and embraces her. From there, I begin to pat the back of her head slowly.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRugcvdau0N
This… this is quite nice from the normal pats. I can feel the gentleness and kindness that comes from Haru. The way he does it so slowly is making me sleepy…
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyUudc4LVE
I can feel Yoko push up and nuzzle against my chest. Her arms wrap around me and then nuzzle with her forehead while letting out a sigh of contentment.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakg1MWb9Os
"Haru-niichan, why is your heart beating so fast?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx8vIc9UV7
"Uh well… It's because Yoko-chan is being cute whenever I pat her head."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwuRj46TVB
"I see, hihi." She pulls away from my embrace and thanks me, "Thank you for tonight Haru-kun. I'll see you tomorrow at lunch okay?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HrSyQgvSY
"Yeah. Take care Yoko-San. Good night."
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiD3rFh96r
"Good night." I waved goodbye to Yoko as she entered her home. I left her neighborhood and headed back into the bustling city.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NI5ucOjgB
Now that this is over, I should go home and go to sleep or maybe get something to eat since I haven't had dinner yet. Hiyori gave me some of her homemade curry. I wonder if it will taste good considering her lunch today wasn't that well either.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkgy6mcrDB
As I was wandering aimlessly through the city, I was thinking about what to do next. Thinking about it now, maybe I should restock on groceries since I'm out here anyways. There's no better time to go grocery shopping!
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrwHcfPK7i
With that decided, I went to the grocery store that I go to for my groceries. It was close to the apartment and there are always good deals to score if I look properly.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRuxIPV09m
The best time to go grocery shopping, in my opinion, is at night. The store is in the process of being restocked and there aren't many customers so being able to grab some decent and cheap priced groceries will be such a steal!
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CZ8W0cyIO

After some time had passed, I completed my grocery shopping and headed back home. With a couple of plastic bags in each hand, I begin the journey back.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7p4akUeiN
I wonder when Hiyori and I will go to Arisu's company for that secret raffle prize. If anything, I hope it's just a tour and no photoshoot is involved. I should go as my nerdy and gloomy self so Arisu won't recognize me.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGxKwG2sqL
"Hey, you're cute. Why not hang out with me tonight, pretty lady?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCjYkOjAj8
Why does this sound familiar to me?
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXvnhKPsGA
The person who was being hit on was a purple-haired high school student. Her uniform was different from Yoko's and I's uniform. The top is dark blue whereas the female uniform of our school is close to a cream color.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mOYgLczAz
"Get away from me you lecher!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoo5Rv5eAro
"Now, don't be like that. You are messing up the mood here. Why don't we talk about this over dinner?" The man extended his hand out to her as if he was going to take her hand by force. Instead, the girl swatted his hand away, stepped into the man's chest and punched him in the gut.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohdfrO3oAq
"Guah!!" The man was stunned by the body blow and his body buckles fr. Following up on her attack, the girl took a step back and finished him off with a flying uppercut.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGU1h2tcqb
Oh! Down, down forward, punch!
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3KI0MrX8c
This was the famous button input for a character in a fighting video game. It was the input for a flying uppercut by the man wearing a white sleeveless karate gi.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtha3J5mqBb
The man was sent flying after the girl uppercuts him and just from the looks of it, the man was knocked out.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7goLFVvHBp
"Phew! How many does that make this week? Five? Hm?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdxLhNHI0W
After taking a moment to recollect herself, she noticed me standing with my mouth open. In a punk-like tone, she calls out to me, "Hey? You know that it's rude to stare?"
