After school.
Keyaki Mall Karaoke.
Everyone gathered together.
Making this large private room appear slightly crowded.
"Sisters, nice to meet you for the first time."
Hikigaya Komachi stood in front of the display screen, her hands behind her back as she gave a slight bow:
"I am Hikigaya Komachi. Thank you very much for taking care of my brother on a daily basis. From now on, Komachi is also a member of this school. Please give me your guidance, sisters!"
"Clap clap clap."
Applause rang out from below. Sakayanagi Arisu said with a smile:
"I am Sakayanagi Arisu. What a polite and good child. I don't hate you."
"Oh..."
Hikigaya Komachi's eyes shone.
This was her first time meeting Sakayanagi. She heard she was quite a scary senior, but she was unexpectedly friendly.
"Truly a cute senior. To the point that matching with Onii-chan is a total waste, right, Onii-chan?"
In short.
Say some nice words first.
"Yeah, Arisu is very cute. I can guarantee that."
Hikigaya cooperatively nodded.
"Komachi-chan is cute."
Karuizawa Kei patted her chest to introduce herself:
"I am Karuizawa. If anything happens at school, you can find us anytime."
"Oh, this is Karuizawa-oneesan. Truly reassuring."
Hikigaya Komachi's eyes shone. She thought everyone she saw was great anyway.
That Onii-chan whom nobody wanted could actually be liked by so many cute beautiful girls; it's truly incredible.
Build good relationships with everyone.
Anyway, Komachi's New Year's money will surely explode in the future.
"I am Ichinose Kanon. Seniors, please give me your guidance."
After hesitating for a moment, Ichinose Kanon also introduced herself, though much more coldly.
Yet her eyes carried a hint of scrutiny.
Since her sister said she truly likes him, then these seniors in front of her can all be said to be enemies.
Sister is kind and gentle.
She always gives the bean paste buns she likes to her, and she doesn't like struggles where people get hurt, always giving in voluntarily.
But she won't.
Since her sister likes him, she must find a way to help her sister strive for the status she deserves.
"Is that so? Welcome."
"Anyway, the welcome party starts now."
Despite this.
Hikigaya was just busy serving tea and water; the protagonists today were Komachi and Kanon.
"Komachi-chan, can you tell us about Hiki-kun's past?"
"Sure! Onii-chan was very cute in elementary school, but he was completely hopeless in middle school..."
However.
Himeno Yuki and others gathered around Komachi, and the only person staying by Ichinose Kanon's side was Ichinose.
After all, Komachi is truly likable and speaks nicely; it can't be helped.
Watching this scene.
Ichinose Kanon couldn't help but knit her beautiful brows.
She originally thought it would be more explosive, or at least like the scheming harem dramas on TV.
The harmonious scene before her.
Was truly far from what she had imagined.
"How is it? Incredible, right?"
Ichinose patted her sister's little head and laughed.
"I was also a bit scared at first, but after actually getting along, I found that everyone is actually a very gentle person, so Kanon doesn't need to worry."
"How could I not worry..."
Ichinose Kanon said in a small voice so others wouldn't hear, yet her eyes couldn't help but observe the private room.
Maybe they're all just acting.
Actually thinking about how to step on the others.
"Honestly..."
Ichinose Honami helplessly stroked her sister's hair.
"I still hope Kanon can care more about her own life and smile more like before."
Mom is very busy with work.
She has to do three jobs every day.
She can only come home at ten o'clock at night after starting at six in the morning.
Therefore.
The home was generally cared for by her, the eldest daughter; whether it was housework or cooking, she was responsible for it all.
After she left.
Mom probably wouldn't have much time to pay attention to Ichinose Kanon, which led her into a dead end.
Kanon being able to enroll in Advanced Nurturing.
Ichinose was delighted and at the same time somewhat relieved.
Luckily she ran into Komachi and Hikigaya; otherwise, given Ichinose Honami's state at the time, she would have been easily deceived.
"I'm not a child anymore..."
Ichinose Kanon puffed out her cheeks and turned her face away, yet she didn't move away from the gentle palm on her head.
Mom is very busy with work.
She basically has no time to take care of the home; the two of them hadn't even held a single birthday party since they were young.
Only during the New Year could they eat a slightly more grand meal.
Her sister, to her.
Was almost an existence of both sister and mother.
"Yes, yes..."
Ichinose patted her little head again.
"It's been so many years. Has Kanon made friends?"
"I don't need them. Having sister is enough."
Ichinose Kanon pouted and acted spoiled.
Clearly.
Ichinose's sister's personality is not as cold as it appears on the surface; after reconciling, she instantly showed her true colors.
"...Still a child..."
Ichinose chuckled twice and said somewhat seriously:
"But Kanon, this school is not as simple as you imagine. If you want to graduate from this school, or want to rise to Class A, you still have to work very hard."
"Hmm?"
Ichinose Kanon's brows were tightly knit.
"Hasn't sister already risen to A? Is it that hard?"
"Mm..."
Ichinose Honami turned her head to look toward Hikigaya and Himeno Yuki and others.
The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.
"If it weren't for Hikki and the others, we definitely wouldn't be able to rise to A now. So Kanon should also make many, many friends and find people who are worth trusting."
"..."
Ichinose Kanon also turned her head to look toward Hikigaya's side.
She had no interest in Class A.
But if before her sister graduates, she drops out first.
Then she wouldn't be able to laugh. "Don't worry, sister, I know."
Ichinose Kanon nodded forcefully.
But a person worth trusting...
"Speaking of which, sister, can I also join the Student Council?"
"Hmm?"
Ichinose said with some confusion:
"With Kanon's grades, there's definitely no problem, but the Student Council is very hard work."
"It's fine."
Ichinose Kanon showed a confident smile.
"Sister might not know yet, but after sister graduated, I also became the Student Council President."
"Eh? Sorry, I completely didn't know."
"It's fine. So sister completely doesn't need to worry about me and should consider her own matters properly."
Ichinose Kanon glanced at Sakayanagi and the others again.
Although this person's background seems very powerful, she can't win against her sister in terms of figure, not to mention her sister isn't alone either.
At this point.
The Student Council added two more people.
