You Will Regret This Ichinose! [161]

As Uesugi continued his blissful yet miserable life of slacking off, the day of the quiz arrived before he knew it.

“Heh heh.”

Hoshinomiya-sensei stood at the podium, her spirits unusually high today. She raised her head slightly and addressed the class with a lively tone.

“The results of today’s Paper Shuffle attack selections between the classes are in!”

…Huh? Hoshinomiya-sensei didn’t drink today?

Lying lazily on his desk, Uesugi studied the carefree teacher standing before them.

As far as he knew, ever since the former B-Class had ascended to A-Class, she had been dragging her so-called bestie out for drinks at every opportunity.

Lost an exam? Drink!

Lost class points? Drink!

Students broke school rules? Drink!

…

Every time, she’d get so plastered she could barely make it home. If this weren’t Advanced Nurturing High School, she’d have been taken advantage of countless times by now.

“Our class, B-Class, has been targeted by A-Class. There are no overlaps with the other classes, meaning A and B will be directly opposing each other.”

Here it comes!

Uesugi subtly straightened his posture, his gaze sweeping across the classroom.

No one seemed particularly surprised.

So everyone already knew about this except for him?

This is a blatant betrayal! Utter nonsense!

I, the shadow of Advanced Nurturing High School, the undisputed intelligence king, with informants spread across all twelve classes… And yet, today, I am the only one left in the dark? Where is the justice?!

Uesugi shot a deeply resentful look at a certain figure.

Honami, only I can lead B-Class to glory, unite this school, and dominate Advanced Nurturing High!

I must prove to everyone that I, Uesugi, am the one most suited to be class leader!

Sensing his gaze, Ichinose momentarily froze before nonchalantly turning toward him, sneaking a glance his way.

Tch.

Uesugi clicked his tongue and turned to gaze out the window instead.

Uesugi was in the clubroom, heroically saving the world.

Click…

The doorknob turned gently, and the door opened slightly.

Ichinose peeked in, holding a lunchbox in her hands, her face beaming with a bright smile.

“Gen-kun, time to eat~”

Uesugi paused his game, glanced at Ichinose, and immediately began his performance.

“Oh? So now that your studies are done, you finally remember me? I knew it. If it weren’t lunchtime, you wouldn’t even think of this poor, miserable soul!”

“Uh… I’m sorry…”

Ichinose ducked her head, offering an apologetic smile.

Seeing that his act was working, Uesugi doubled down.

Covering his face with both hands, he lamented dramatically,

“My dear sister must have grown weary of me, to treat me so indifferently.”

Ichinose’s eyes widened in panic. She quickly set the lunchbox down and rushed over to him, her voice flustered.

“No! Don’t say that! Gen-kun is the most important! No one is more important than Gen-kun!”

“Really?”

Uesugi instantly reverted to normal, looking at her expectantly.

Then, realizing he had broken character, he coughed twice.

Ahem, ahem!

Once again slipping into his tragic role, he sighed weakly,

“…Forget it, forget it. My sister has always been carefree. It was my mistake to be so petty.”

Ichinose stared at him for a moment, her dazed expression making it clear she found his act thoroughly entertaining.

Seeing no immediate reaction, Uesugi escalated his performance.

Turning away, he raised a hand to his forehead as if about to break into tears.

“If this is how my sister treats me, I would rather be ignored completely, lest I seem unreasonable…”

“Alright, alright.”

Ichinose suddenly wrapped her arms around his neck from behind, her soft figure pressing against his back.

Leaning close to his ear, she whispered,

“It’s all my fault. Brother, please don’t be mad at me, okay?”

Her warm breath tickled his skin like a gentle spring breeze.

Uesugi shivered.

What the hell?

Has Ichinose ever been like this before?!

He had never seen this side of her!

But he had to keep going!

“My sister’s care… Is it mine alone? Or does she share it with others? If it’s not just for me, then I don’t want it at all.”

“Of course, it’s only for my dear brother. As long as you forgive me, I’ll do whatever you want, okay?”

Uesugi instantly spun around and hugged her, his voice filled with excitement.

“Are you serious?!”

“Would I lie to my dear brother?”

Ichinose giggled, leaning in and planting a quick kiss on his cheek.

“Then I want to be class leader!”

Uesugi declared boldly, dropping all pretense and revealing his true ambition.

“…Eh?”

Ichinose’s smile froze.

Her expression became complicated, her teeth clenching slightly.

“Could you… perhaps choose another wish? Anything else, and I’ll agree.”

“Nope!”

Uesugi immediately dove into her arms, clutching onto her tightly.

“You promised! I want to be class leader!”

“Change it…”

“No! I want this one!”

Uesugi began throwing a full-blown tantrum.

“…Brother.”

Ichinose gently cupped his face, bending forward to whisper into his ear.

“How about… after we get home tonight?”

Her voice was as soft as silk.

“…This…”

For the first time, Uesugi hesitated.

“Brother…”

Ichinose called again, her voice directly attacking his heartstrings.

The weather had turned colder since the midterms. Ichinose, who usually showed off her smooth, bare legs, was now wearing sheer black tights.

Wrapped in her embrace, Uesugi could feel the delicate sensation beneath his fingertips, her enticing scent clouding his thoughts.

No!

My ambition is to be class leader!

Uesugi shook his head furiously, trying to clear away the wicked temptations.

“Brother~”

Ichinose gazed at him with her big, pleading eyes, her voice dripping with honey, making it impossible to refuse.

“Won’t you forgive your sister?”

Her delicate whisper wrapped around him.

“…Or else—”

Ichinose pursed her lips slightly, hesitating, before whispering again,

“I’ll throw in… something extra. How about that?”

“……”

Uesugi’s eyes snapped open.

His breath grew heavy.

He grabbed Ichinose’s soft, delicate hand.

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Breaking free from her arms, Uesugi glared at Ichinose, gritting his teeth.

“You little minx!”

Ichinose immediately broke into a bright, satisfied smile.

This time, she was the one to pounce on him.

“I’m just your little minx, aren’t I?”

Uesugi didn’t respond.

Instead, he silently stroked her long, silky hair, trying to calm the storm raging inside him.

For a long while, the two simply held each other in the empty clubroom, savoring the moment.

Then—

Ichinose suddenly called out in a muffled voice, still nestled in his embrace.

“Brother.”

“…Hm?”

“I love you the most.”
