The next day, Akira brought Sajuna and Shinju to a family restaurant.
Upon entering, the proprietress was still listless, but Akira didn't have to go into the changing room to put on his work uniform this time.
The proprietress looked up, saw Akira enter, and greeted him.
"Good afternoon, Akira-kun."
"Good afternoon, Proprietress."
Akira nodded in response.
"And these two are? They look like regulars at our shop."
The proprietress asked, looking at Akira's handsome face, thinking it couldn't be that they were all this boy's girlfriends.
However, given Akira's good looks, it was indeed a possibility.
"This is my girlfriend and her sister."
Akira explained, not intending to give the proprietress detailed information.
Then the three of them bid farewell to the proprietress, found a table for six, and sat down, waiting for Marin and Wakana to arrive.
Akira picked up the menu from the table and asked Sajuna and Shinju, "Do you want to order anything to eat first?"
Sajuna and Shinju both shook their heads; they had just eaten lunch not long ago and didn't need to order anything yet.
Akira, however, ordered some snacks, figuring that since five people would be chatting, they would quickly finish them.
After a while, Wakana and Marin arrived together.
Wakana, as usual, wore his navy blue work uniform, which seemed to never change throughout the year.
Marin, on the other hand, wore an oversized black T-shirt on top, and denim shorts with a slightly hollowing out hem on the bottom, her long legs exposed, making her appear exceptionally tall.
Wakana stood at the entrance and scanned the room before spotting where Akira and Shinju were sitting.
As for Sajuna, her figure was already obscured by Akira and Shinju.
"Wakana, over here!"
Akira waved.
It wasn't until Wakana sat opposite Akira that he completely froze.
Akira-kun said today was to meet Inui-san's "sister," right?
A "sister" should be younger than her "older sister," right?
But the girl opposite, who was clearly older than her older sister...
Was she Inui-san's "sister" or "older sister"?
Why did it feel so different from what he imagined?
Wakana's face showed a stiff smile; he felt as if the scene before him was shattering his worldview.
Akira introduced, "This is Sajuna, I've introduced her to you before."
"This is Shinju, Sajuna's sister."
Shinju, a bit shy, pressed her arms tightly together, her face red, head bowed, and hands tugging at her hair: "Nice to meet you, I, I'm Shinju."
Akira gently stroked Shinju's head, comforting her: "Don't be nervous, Shinju, Sajuna and I are here."
Sajuna also hugged Shinju from the other side, gently patting Shinju's back: "Don't be nervous."
"I'm sorry, Shinju gets nervous so easily."
But it seems Shinju isn't so nervous when she's with Aki-Kun.
Aki-Kun is indeed different from other boys.
Sajuna felt a little secretly pleased.
Marin also looked at Shinju opposite her in shock. If she remembered correctly, Juju-sama's sister should have just started university, right?
"She already has these measurements right after starting university?!"
"This is too amazing!"
"How many centimeters?!"
Marin suddenly stood up, leaning slightly forward, curiously looking at Shinju opposite her.
It's indeed the same plot as the original work!
Akira thought to himself, such a question could easily be misunderstood!
Can't you see the expression on Wakana's face next to you, looking like he's questioning life?!
It's probably not much different from when he helped you with your measurements!
Kitagawa's curiosity was clearly irrepressible.
She didn't really have any particularly 'H' thoughts in her daily life; she just played these kinds of games normally.
So she then stated her real question: "How many centimeters tall are you?! I'm 164!"
Shinju paused, realizing it wasn't a more embarrassing question after all.
"I'm, 178 centimeters."
"Wow, that's amazing, so great!"
Sajuna's expression visibly became bewildered.
Although she was quite satisfied with her own figure and height, in such a stark comparison with her sister, she couldn't help but have other thoughts.
"If only my sister could share some of her flesh with me."
Wakana opposite also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Shinju has always been the one taking photos for Sajuna!" Akira interjected, "If you have any questions you want to know, you can ask Shinju."
He bent down and took a camera out of his backpack, "I even brought the camera Shinju uses today."
Kitagawa was clearly more interested in Shinju taking photos for Sajuna than in photography-related questions.
"The photos Shinju takes of Juju-sama are so beautiful!"
"I really, really love the photos little Shinju takes."
"Thank you very much."
Sajuna, hearing Marin begin to praise her, couldn't help but become a bit tsundere.
"I just asked Shinju to take photos for me, but Shinju ended up creating quite a few accounts for me."
Sajuna had barely said a few sentences when she saw Akira next to Shinju look over.
Realizing that her words might sound a bit like she was blaming Shinju, she quickly changed the subject: "However, seeing how popular the photos Shinju takes are, I'm also a little happy."
Akira smiled and nodded.
"Be-because every time I finish taking photos of older sister, I think she's just too beautiful and cute."
"And then I can't help but want to let other people see my cute older sister too."
"And then I received a lot of positive comments, all praising older sister's photos."
"It's clearly because Shinju takes good photos!"
Sajuna took a sip of tea, her gaze drifting elsewhere.
Shinju, however, ignored her older sister's denial and continued: "But every time I see someone praise older sister, I feel like older sister's cuteness has been officially recognized."
"Juju-sama is really super cute! I used to think she didn't exist in real life!"
"After all, she only posts photos on social media; I've never seen Juju-sama at Anime Conventions or other events."
Shinju said shyly: "That's because I don't know how to reply to messages from strangers, so I just ignored them."
"Now I'm thinking, if I had replied, would more people like older sister?"
Akira interjected at this moment, "Shinju did the right thing. If you replied, you might attract some trouble."
"Eh, would it really be that troublesome?!"
Shinju asked in surprise.
"Yes, Shinju clearly doesn't know the terror of crazy fans and sasaeng fans."
Akira suddenly felt that he used to be quite a pervert, a sasaeng fan, at the convenience store.
If it weren't for fate and the system's social skills, he probably would have been suspected and reported to the police.
