If My Little Sister Finds Out, It'll Be Trouble! Even Better!

After Natsume Chikage hung up, Konoe Hitomi looked at him with what seemed to be a faint smile.

"What's wrong? Was it one of the girls from your Collection Club calling to ask about you?"

Natsume Chikage shook his head. "No, it was my little sister."

Let's take a swan boat later. It should take less effort, and it looks a lot more comfortable too."

Seeing that he did not ask further, Konoe Hitomi seemed a little unhappy. She narrowed her eyes
