Side Fifty-Four – Izumi Kana
As everyone entered big bro’s house, Mio-chan spoke up. “Well, now I’m sure of it, Kana-chan. That guy is totally into you. No question about it. I’m torn…”
“I know just what you an.” Asami-chan agreed as everyone was removing their shoes and pulling on guest slippers that Kana had purchased with so of the money big bro had given her.
I ended up with a decent amount of change too. He hasn’t asked for it back. I don’t intend to be sly, but… it isn’t like he needs the money, and I could sure use it…
“Yeah, I an, he’s hot, and he seems nice, the way he talked to Takagi-san, noticing she wasn’t comfortable with the group. Rich too, I guess. but… there’s the big problem, isn’t there?” she finished.
“Yeah, or rather two big problems.” Mio-chan agreed.
Ugh, I knew this would happen. I hate being teased. I only agreed to this whole day so I could show off and cent my position in class. “Seriously, Bi… Akio-kun isn’t interested in . He’s doing business with my family shrine, that’s it. Nothing else is going on.”
“You can call him big bro if you want.” One girl piped up, laughing. “You did earlier, after all.”
“I want to call him big bro too!” Keomi-chan jumped in, with her usual boisterousness. “He’s really nice, he buys and my friends cake every ti we see him!”
As Marika-chan also added her praise for Akio-kun, Kana tried desperately to change the subject. “Sure, he’s decent enough, I guess, but like I said, he has no interest in . Now, why don’t we go and have sone fun… oh, Shaeula, there you are!” she finished, as she stepped out of the bedroom, wearing a very pretty yukata. It wasn’t the normal orange one with the strange weasel-pattern she almost always wore, but a white one with orange and golden blossom patterning, which set off her pale skin and amber hair and eyes perfectly. She must have changed while big bro was showing the girls around the grounds… I bet he brought that for her. It looks really expensive…
“Oh my god, she’s so gorgeous!” Noguchi-san exclaid and Kana-chan sympathised. I get that. She’s a hard girl to compare yourself to. Since the girls that weren’t her friends had gone to the main shrine rather than this outbuilding, they hadn’t seen Shaeula yet, as big bro had picked them up himself. As the other girls echoed Noguchi-san’s sentints, Shaeula spoke up, amused.
“I see-see. You feel that Akio has designs upon Kana, do you?” she snorted. “I fear that Akio is not-not one to seek out females. Instead, those that feel themselves worthy should strive to make him accept them.”
“Look, I told you, I’m not…” Kana began again, but the other girls had raced over to Shaeula, leaving her with Marika-chan and Keomi-chan. Oh, and Kikuchi-san, strangely enough.
“So we didn’t ask before… oh, nice yukata by the way.” Mio-chan said. “But… seriously. You are dating that guy, right? No ssing around?”
“Dating? No-no.” Shaeula shook her head, flourishing her hand, upon which sparkled her engagent ring. “We are to be married soon enough.”
Several girls were excited, but Takagi-san looked unconvinced. “So, what about his childhood friend. Eri-san, he said.”
“Of course, they shall be married as well-well.” Shaeula declared confidently. “I have great respect for Eri and her love for Akio. In my lands, a strong male or alluring female may have as many partners as they wish. I see no issue with this.”
“Wait, are you a Muslim, or a Mormon then? You do look foreign.” Noguchi-san asked, and Shaeula shook her head.
“No-no, I am not such a being.” Shaeula denied.
“Even so, there are laws in this country.” Takagi-san continued, seeming to be very worked up about it. “There’s no law against having multiple girlfriends, even if it’s really scummy, but you can’t get married! Besides, don’t you feel sorry for his childhood friend? Does she even know about this?”
I didn’t know Takagi-san could get so heated up. She was always a mousy, shy girl that kept to herself. Maybe I should have paid more attention to my other classmates…
“Of course she knows. Eri saw my love for Akio and together we-we asked him to accept us both. It was quite romantic. As for laws… just what is a law? Are all-all your laws the sa as they have always been?”
“No, but…”
“If it is required, Akio shall find a way-way, even if he must change these laws of yours.” Shaeula declared grandly. “Anyway, enough of this. You are here for fun, are you not-not?”
“That’s right!” Kana interrupted gratefully, turning down the heated atmosphere. “Enough quizzing Shaeula. If you want to ask her about Akio-kun you can do it when we are playing around. Co on Kikuchi-san, this way.” She reached out her hand and grabbed Kikuchi-san, pulling the surprised girl behind her, followed by Keomi-chan and Marika-chan.
********
Kana sighed as her friends were rummaging around in Shaeula’s room, being rather rude. Seriously, I know Shaeula is surprisingly easy-going, but I wouldn’t let people look in drawers and cupboards in my room!
“Wow… there’s a lot of clothes in here, but half of them are yukata. You must really like Japanese clothing, Shaeula!” Mio-chan called out, Shaeula snorting in response.
“I’m more interested in these.” Asami-chan had one draw open and was admiring the lingerie within. “So of these are pretty sexy. Did you buy them to wear for Akio-kun?”
Ugh, why are you calling him Akio-kun? You barely know him. Is it just to make fun of ? As Kana pouted, surprisingly enough it was Kikuchi-san who tried to console her. Keomi-chan was stuffing her face with cake in the living room, and Marika-chan was watching her, being a good girl as always.
“No-no, Akio bought them for , though I have not had the opportunity to display them for him.” Shaeula spoke to Asami-chan without embarrassnt.. “Perhaps at the weekend. It is Eri’s birthday, so we are visiting his hotown. No doubt-doubt there will be ample ti for love.”
Damn, she’s so bold as always. My face feels hot. But at least Asami-chan got more than she bargained for!
Indeed, Asami-chan shut the drawer with an audible slam and backed away, flushed. “Wow, you don’t look any older than us, but you are so adult.”
“Well, I am-am a mature female.” Shaeula puffed out her modest chest proudly. “In any case, I need-need to have a talk with Kana for a mont. Keomi and this Maiko too.”
“?” Kikuchi-san asked, looking very nervous.
