With Ichika Away, I'm the Big Sister

"I didn't have any ulterior motive. I just wanted to come and visit you. I happened to see a lot of girls lining up on the street, and I thought the cakes from that shop must taste good, so I bought you a box."

"You're getting more and more adept at mixing lies with the truth."

"That's at least half the truth."

"Oh."

Fushimi Makoto was answered by Yukino's light, airy laughter.

Actually, she looks very beautiful when she smiles like that, but her sharp eyes give her quite a presence, and most people wouldn't dare to look her in the eye.

After the two entered the living room, Yukino bent down to Fushimi Makoto, her imposing aura still undiminished. "Strawberry cake is high in calories, I don't want to eat it so late at night."

"With your current physical capabilities, you can actually ignore those heat bombs," Fushimi Makoto said earnestly.

Yukino paused, a glint of light appearing in her eyes. "Really?"

"Of course it's true, you should be able to feel it yourself, right? It's not just about superficial things like speed and explosiveness; even if you consume way too many calories every day, you won't have to worry about gaining weight."

Hearing his words, Yukino subconsciously recalled.

Her daily routine and diet are very healthy, but occasionally she will consume some calories that are not part of her plan, such as when meeting friends or going out to eat with her sister.

A beautiful girl like her would naturally check her figure carefully in the mirror before each shower to see if there were any signs of weight gain.

However, now, there is not a trace of excess fat on her face, waist, and thighs, areas that are prone to gaining weight.

Although Yukino was pleasantly surprised, she hadn't yet guessed Fushimi Makoto's purpose in coming, so she said, "No wonder you were in such a hurry to give us the schedule; it turns out you wanted us to stay in shape. You're something else."

Fushimi Makoto seemed surprised. "This gives you an opportunity to condemn me?"

"You dare say you don't like girls with good figures?" Yukino set a trap.

"Since you've put it that way, should I hold you in my arms now and give your beautiful legs a good pounding?" Fushimi Makoto retorted.

A faint smile appeared on Yukino's face, and her aggressiveness gradually unfolded. "You can try."

"No, no, you should eat your cake first," Fushimi Makoto said timidly.

Yukino looked suspicious; this wasn't like him at all.

Is there another plan?

Fushimi Makoto: That's right, I do have a backup plan.

While remaining wary, Yukino unwrapped the cake's beautiful packaging. "How many photos did you take of Kasumigaoka -senpai Teacher Hiratsuka?"

"Five sheets. I'll send them to you now if you want them." Fushimi Makoto picked up his phone.

"What are the conditions?" Yukino hadn't forgotten that he had mentioned the word "cost" before.

"I kind of miss the adorable Yukinoshita- neko."

"... You're really quite blunt."

Yukino picked up a spoon and tasted the cake, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.

The taste is indeed very good.

"You didn't deny it, so that means you agreed?" Fushimi Makoto understood the implication in her words.

Yukino remained silent.

I've worn catgirl outfits for him before, so once he's done it, he'll be able to accept it the second and third time.

"I don't want to answer such a perverted question," she finally replied.

Fushimi Makoto understood immediately.

I can play with catgirls tonight.

But that alone doesn't seem exciting enough, does it?

He watched Yukino savor the cake with delicate, small bites, admiring her exquisite, flawless face and her soft, luscious lips...

Um?

Lip?

I almost forgot about the important matter!

"My eyes tell me you're thinking strange things again." Yukino's tone gradually turned unfriendly.

Fushimi Makoto looked down at the cake. "Give me a bite."

"Go to the kitchen and get a new spoon yourself."

"There's no need for that complicated process; I have a more convenient way."

"What method?"

Yukino immediately became alert.

Fushimi Makoto stood up and sat down next to her. "Don't be nervous, I have something to tell you."

Yukino then abandoned her plan to get up and leave, looking at him with a puzzled expression.

Fushimi Makoto leaned close to her delicate little ear and whispered something.

In an instant, Yukino's face darkened. "You really are a pervert!"

"Please, my lovely second young lady."

"I refuse."

Not even once?

"No!"

"How about I shrink myself down with the Shrinking Flashlight and put on a show for you?"

"You..."

Yukino choked for a moment, then finally sighed, clutching her forehead. "You actually went to this extent to achieve such a perverted goal."

"Anyway, there are no outsiders here. Even if I'm going to embarrass myself, it'll be for you to see." Fushimi Makoto declared.

Yukino remained silent for a while, her cheeks began to burn, and the tears in her eyes trembled.

But five seconds later, as if she had thought of something, her expression gradually returned to calm. "These past few days, I've been seeing Eriri Spencer Sawamura and Kasumigaoka- senpai quite often. Once, Aunt Sayuri even gave me a lot of snacks."

Although Fushimi Makoto didn't understand why she said that, he still cooperated and asked, "So you won't be short of snacks lately, that's great."

Yukino's lips curled into a smile, a clear hint of aggression in it. "Among the snacks Aunt Sayuri gave me, there were two bags of popping candy that I don't actually like."

"Huh?" Fushimi Makoto's expression froze.

Seeing his reaction, Yukino smiled with amusement, "Although I don't like popping candy, if you insist that I do something so perverted for you, then I'm still willing to eat a whole bag of popping candy."

"No need, sometimes these snacks can be considered deadly weapons."

"You were the one who wanted to give this up, and now I agree. Are you sure you don't want to reconsider?"

"Could we get something else? Like juice or something?"

"You've reminded me, how about popping candy and chilled juice together?"

After a brief silence, Fushimi Makoto pointed to the strawberry cake that was still more than half full. "Let's eat the cake first."

Yukino smiled happily.

Because she was happy, her vigilance completely dropped.

The moment she scooped another spoonful of cake into her mouth, Fushimi Makoto wrapped his arms around her slender waist.

"What are you doing... um."

Before she could react, Fushimi Makoto kissed her.

I don't care about this or that!

First there was Yogurt Senior, then Creamy Yukino, so even if I'm attacked with popping candy today, I'll accept it!

Fushimi Makoto.

Yukino realized what was happening too.

This is what this bastard meant by "a more convenient way to eat cake."

In that case, I'm going to eat two packets of popping candy tonight!

Although she had never done that kind of thing before, she also thought it was perverted.

But now she's changed her mind.

She was going to teach Fushimi Makoto Sei a lesson he wouldn't forget.

Just use your own... uh, use your own mouth.

As Yukino thought about it, she began to feel ashamed of herself.

Chapter 404 Ichika isn't home, I'm the older sister.

"Alright, that's enough for today. If we keep shooting, the lighting will get worse and worse, and the pictures won't turn out well."

Two evenings later, Hayato Hayama announced to his friends that filming for the day was over, then turned to the sidelines and asked Fushimi Makoto and Nakano Nino, who were in the audience, "Want to grab something to eat? It's on me."

"I ate before I came here to serve as your technical advisor," Fushimi Makoto shook his head.

Nakano Nino smiled and waved her hand, "I've already eaten."

She ran into Fushimi Makoto and his group while shopping with her friends, so she "abandoned" her friends and decided to accompany Fushimi Makoto as a spectator.

The scenes that Hayato Hayama were filming just now left Nakano Nino feeling very confused.

She didn't know how to describe it, but this style of video was definitely not her thing.

However, seeing how seriously and diligently the group was taking photos, she respected their efforts and didn't disturb them at all.

"Then I won't bother you two any longer." Hayato Hayama gave a knowing smile.

"What do you mean by that?" Fushimi Makoto deliberately picked a fight.

Hayato Hayama didn't answer, but instead picked up his phone to check the time. "It's only 6:40 now. Students' free time usually lasts until 8:00 PM. If you want to go on a date, you'll have about an hour and a half."

Nakano Nino's face flushed slightly; she had left her friends behind because she wanted to go shopping with Fushimi Makoto.

Fushimi Makoto, however, remained calm. "Hayama, when did you learn to play the role of a wingman?"

"I've always done it, I just wasn't interested in doing it before," Hayato Hayama said with a candid smile. He pointed ahead and said, "There's a restaurant up ahead that's having a winter couples' set menu event. It's not expensive, and the reviews are great."

Nakano Nino's eyes lit up.

She wasn't familiar with Hayato Hayama, but since he had gone to such lengths to help her, she couldn't resist her curiosity and asked, "Hayama- kun, have you been there before?"

"I was dragged there by my friends." Hayato Hayama smiled helplessly, his gaze falling on the three girls in their makeshift film crew.

Fushimi Makoto immediately understood. "Are all three of them pursuing you, or is there only one?"

"One of them, that short-haired Sakurai- kun."

Hayato Hayama, Fushimi Makoto, and Nakano Nino all seemed interested in hearing the gossip, so he didn't hide anything. "I actually already politely declined her offer, and she said it was okay, we could be friends. But since then, she's started focusing on learning photography, and even her grades have dropped."

"That's amazing," Nakano Nino said admiringly.

Hayato Hayama hesitated for a moment, but ultimately remained silent.

This scene was captured by Fushimi Makoto, who casually asked, "Want me to help you find out what's going on?"

How do you plan to find out?

"Just chatting with her casually, to see what she really thinks."

"Actually, there's no need to make things so complicated. It's impossible for us to be together. It's just that her perseverance and persistence are bothering me."

Hayato Hayama sighed again as he spoke.

He would absolutely never use a word like "trouble" if there were other people around.

In his classmates' eyes, he was always the perfect image of a sunny and gentle man, but he was only willing to tell the truth in front of Fushimi Makoto.

Nakano Nino also somewhat surprised that Hayato Hayama would say such a thing, but she was clever in interpersonal relationships and pretended not to hear it.

Fushimi Makoto took Nakano Nino to find a short-haired girl named Sakurai. He didn't say anything else, just casually praised her cameo performance.

"Really? Fushimi-kun, you really think I have talent?" the girl asked excitedly.

Fushimi Makoto raised an eyebrow slightly.
