Why Not Make Both Twins 'Girlfriends'?-Chapter 10Volume 2 .2 - Reflecting the Truth...?
Reflecting the Truth…? 2
“I was content as long as Chii-chan was by my side before I met you, Sakuto. I caused a lot of worries, but Chii-chan never hated or abandoned me. So, I guess what satisfies Chii-chan is what satisfies me.”
It seems that feeling grateful to those close to her and sympathizing with them are intertwined.
In Hikari’s case, that person is Chikage, and it seems she sees Chikage’s matters as her own.
“So why did you accept me?”
He had heard it was love at first sight, but it still didn’t quite click with Sakuto.
‘Where did she feel that sort of feeling towards me?’
“When I first saw you, Sakuto, my heart suddenly started beating faster, and I felt a warmth inside my chest.”
“That’s quite maidenly all of a sudden…”
“Right? I felt that there are things that can’t be understood through knowledge or logical reasoning. I thought, maybe this person is the same type as me, perhaps my fated one.”
Hikari chuckled while saying this.
“And that was spot on!”
“Why?”

“Ever since I met you, every day has been filled with irregular events, and it’s fun being together. Like, I wonder what will happen next? How will he react if I set something up?”
“An experiment to see my reaction?”
“Hmm… something like that. Oh, but… if I may be greedy, I’d like you to be a bit more predictable based on my guesses? It’s fun as it is, but I’m expecting Sakuto to overreact just like Chii-chan does.”
“Ah, um… I’ll try my best…”
Sakuto reflected that he still hadn’t fully met Hikari’s expectations.
But humans aren’t that simple.
Life is complex, intertwined, and humans do unpredictable things.
That in itself can be interesting or it can be disappointing depending on how you look at it.
In terms of not making Hikari bored, it seems that he hasn’t been a disappointment so far.
“So, hey, Sakuto──”
Suddenly, she took his hand.
“…What?”
“How about we skip club activities and go somewhere together? I’d like a place with no people around…”
Her mischievous whisper made Sakuto’s heart skip a beat.
This must be a test.
‘If it’s an experiment to see my reaction──’
“Sure, shall we go?”
“…What? Really!?”
“Why are you surprised? You’re the one who asked me. Come on, let’s go quickly.”
Hikari showed slight resistance as he pulled her hand.
The instigator was unexpectedly the one who got flustered and blushing.
“I-I mean, that was just a joke…”
“I took it seriously, though?”
“But we’re still in the middle of club activities…”
Seeing Hikari suddenly start talking about something serious, Sakuto almost burst into laughter.
He knew she had asked him because they were in the middle of club activities, and he would likely refuse, but he decided to play along. It was Hikari who overreacted and turned completely red.
‘This is quite interesting.’
Usually, it’s Hikari who teases him, but seeing her react like this makes him want to tease her even more.
“Come on, Hikari. Let’s go. If we’re talking about a place with no people around at this time, it would be──”
“──Where are you planning to go? Holding hands so friendly.”
Sakuto’s face turned pale in an instant after hearing that voice.
When he reluctantly turned around, Chikage stood there with her arms crossed and looked imposing.
Sakuto quickly let go of Hikari’s hand.
“Um, this is, you see──”
As he fumbled for an explanation,
“Chii-chan, listen! Sakuto was trying to skip club activities and take me to some deserted place!”
Hikari had beaten him to it, twisting the story to her advantage.
“Hikari!?”
Hikari was grinning mischievously from an angle where Chikage couldn’t see.
Ah, I’ve been hit, he thought.
Hikari must have seen Chikage was approaching and timed her trap──
“Ha, hahaha… Disbandment──────────”
＊ ＊ ＊
“Ahahaha! No, I can’t! I can’t stop laughing when I think about it…!”
Holding her stomach and trying to suppress her laughter, Hikari was next to Sakuto, who sighed heavily with an exhausted expression.
“This is no laughing matter, seriously…”
After that, they had to calm Chikage down and explain everything properly.
It took some time to convince her it was all a joke, and it was quite a hassle.
“Hikari, you almost got the Newspaper Club disbanded, you?”
“Sakuto, you were pretty into it too, right?”
“Ugh…”
Indeed, he had gotten carried away as well, so it wasn’t entirely Hikari’s fault──.
“But Chii-chan is also to blame. With her ‘disbandment’ and all.”
“Well, it’s true she might have been too personal…”
Hikari laughed as if she found it funny, while Sakuto could only give a wry smile.
Upon reaching the first gymnasium, Hikari quickly got permission from the advisor and began interviewing the captain of the girls’ basketball team.
Afterward, she did the same with the boys’ volleyball team and the rhythmic gymnastics club, getting permission from the advisors before interviewing the captains.
Sakuto was keeping an eye on Hikari while pretending to take notes.
“Please tell us about your enthusiasm for the upcoming summer tournament.”
“We want to show the results of all the hard work we’ve done so far and play our best──”
As expected, he noticed something.
Hikari first gauged the person’s character from their expressions and attitudes.
Then, she would adjust her speaking pace, tone, and expressions to match the interviewee and always manage to bring out a smile in the end.
Her observational skills were frighteningly sharp.
Her conversational skills and sense of humor too──
He was reminded of the time when they first met.
Those eyes that seemed to peer into the depths of a person’s heart were intimidating.
He realized that lies and deceit would not work on this girl──
Whether it was a natural gift or a skill acquired in life, he could only observe from the sidelines and feel the remarkable nature of the girl named Usami Hikari.
Still, he wonders just how much she can see──
“Phew… With that, I guess all my responsibilities are taken care of for now.”
“Good work…”
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
“No, I was just thinking… you’re really amazing…”
“…? What is?”
Hikari looked puzzled, with a smile on her face, likely unaware of her own abilities.
