"Hey, what are you doing here?"
Hikigaya Komachi went forward and asked.
The sudden conversation made the girl's shoulders tremble; she turned around only to find a girl who looked petite.
"Is there something you need?"
"Nothing."
Hikigaya Komachi poked her head out, her gaze passing the girl to look toward the Student Council room.
"I just saw you staring at the Student Council room and wondered if you had some business?"
"Nothing. Are you from the Student Council?"
"No."
Hikigaya Komachi showed a polite smile.
"I am Hikigaya Komachi from Class 1-A..."
"Hikigaya?"
Before Komachi could finish, the girl couldn't help but speak out.
Her originally indifferent gaze became sharp, sizing up Hikigaya Komachi from head to toe.
"Hmm?"
Hikigaya Komachi's smile instantly froze.
It felt as if she were suddenly being stared at by a stray cat on the street; what happened all of a sudden?
"What is your relationship with the Student Council Vice President Hikigaya?"
Ichinose's younger sister turned around and asked coldly.
"For the time being, I'm his younger sister... probably."
"Probably? Stop joking. You don't even know if the other person is your own brother?"
"Eh?"
Hikigaya Komachi's eye twitched.
So scary.
She feels like a person I'd dislike, the type I'm not good at dealing with. Are Class D people all like this?
"Instead of that, shouldn't you report your own name first?"
"Class 1-D, Ichinose Kanon."
Ichinose Kanon stared at the girl in front of her with a sharp gaze.
"I am the sister of the Student Council President Ichinose. I heard your brother two-times, and one of them is my sister."
As she spoke.
Ichinose Kanon began to mutter.
"Sister is very simple and gentle; she must have been deceived by that guy using some despicable means, or he's holding something against her. I must protect Sister."
"Alright, so you are that guy's sister?"
"Eh!?"
Hikigaya Komachi leaned her body back, startled.
No wonder she felt she had heard the name Ichinose somewhere; so it was the Student Council President.
Does that mean?
The person in front of her is her sister-in-law?
No wonder she felt the girl in front of her disliked her when she said her name.
If one's sister is being played by a flirtatious man.
It's only natural to feel angry.
"I said 'probably,' I'm not very sure either."
Hikigaya Komachi explained with some distress:
"The brother in my impression is a twisted responsibility freak, and he has no taste in clothes at all—he couldn't even make a single friend!"
"He even blushes when talking to girls; it's not very likely he could do something like two-timing."
Hikigaya Komachi knitted her brows, pinching her chin as she thought.
Her impression of her brother was still stuck in their middle school days.
"You hate your own brother?"
Ichinose Kanon furrowed her delicate brows.
Why does it feel like this person is so enthusiastic about speaking ill of her brother?
"It's not about hating or not hating. I'm just telling the truth. Brother is a loser who made being a househusband his life goal. It's not very likely he'd do bad things to your sister."
Hikigaya Komachi said somewhat triumphantly with her hands on her hips.
Although she likes Onii-chan, she isn't stingy about saying bad things; it won't hurt anyone, and it can close the distance with the other party.
Perhaps.
She could even monitor this sister-in-law from a close distance to see if she would do anything unfavorable to Hikigaya.
"Is that so..."
Ichinose Kanon furrowed her brows and looked back at the Student Council room.
It felt like Hikigaya Komachi's words weren't fake.
After all.
The Hikigaya Hachiman she just saw was too different from the brother in Hikigaya Komachi's mouth.
If she were lying, she should have found more reasonable excuses.
"But that guy was just making eyes at several girls, and his hand was even on my sister."
This scene.
--- P
Hikigaya Komachi had also seen it just now.
That trashy brother actually dares to put his hand on a girl now.
It's truly hard to believe.
"Well, there must be a reason."
Hikigaya Komachi pounded her palm, her eyes shining as she said:
"Komachi has decided to investigate thoroughly. Do you want to come along?"
"If you hadn't interrupted, that's what I would be doing right now."
Ichinose Kanon was somewhat helpless and turned back to continue staking out the Student Council room.
At least for now.
This Hikigaya sister and Hikigaya are completely different types of people.
She probably won't get in her way.
This scene.
Made Hikigaya Komachi feel a bit strange.
She originally thought she was a disagreeable person—at least she looked very aloof—but unexpectedly she's quite naive.
To believe her so easily.
According to the Hikigaya family precepts, such a personality is very dangerous.
"But..."
Hikigaya also stood beside her, poking her head out to watch.
"The Student Council usually dismisses at the same time as the clubs; they probably won't come out for a short while. Instead of staking out here, wouldn't it be better to ask other seniors in the school for information?"
"But if I leave, I don't know what dangerous things that guy will do to Sister."
Ichinose Kanon stared unblinkingly at the Student Council room door.
"How could that be..."
Hikigaya Komachi was a bit speechless: "If he was going to do something, he would have done it long ago. And I saw just now that your sister didn't seem unhappy; it must be some misunderstanding, right?"
"Impossible. Sister is not that kind of person."
Ichinose Kanon immediately retorted, thinking for a moment before saying: "However, what you said makes sense. If something was going to be done, it would have been done. Staying here won't have much effect."
"Right?"
"But I'm not very good at interacting with people right now. It might be a bit difficult to ask seniors for information."
"It's fine."
Hikigaya Komachi patted her chest and said: "Leave it to Komachi. Besides, we are both so cute; asking a senior for information will be a piece of cake."
"Really? But why are you helping me like this?"
"It's nothing. After all, Komachi is the sister; I'm also a bit curious about what that trashy brother has turned into."
"Is that so."
Ichinose Kanon didn't doubt it.
This Hikigaya sister doesn't seem to mind speaking ill of her brother.
Is it out of a sisterly responsibility to look after her brother?
Feeling a part of her that was somewhat similar, Ichinose Kanon's tone involuntarily softened slightly, though her gaze remained cold.
"Maybe your brother has been pretending and deceiving you all along. Thinking about it that way, your brother's calculating mind is simply terrifying."
"How could that be? Brother was really trashy before; it couldn't have been a facade."
"Forget it. But how do we do it? Who should we ask for information?"
"It's fine, leave it to Komachi!"
Hikigaya Komachi patted her chest proudly.
It seems quite interesting.
