At the entrance to our house, there were two girls waiting for us. They were wearing our school uniforms. One of them was Yuma. The other one was her twin sister, Miku.

"Hello, Kakeru-kun. Yuu-san. Good morning."

Yuma greeted us first.

"M... Mornin." Miku Added.

They both had black hair and dark blue eyes. Their faces looked practically the same. As if they were cloned. That’s right, they wer...

"You are those clones!" I pointed at them with my index finger.

"Huh?" Yuma asked confused. But she wasn't looking at me I realised. But Kakeru.

"Hick!" Miku started hiccupping.

"Wah!" Yuma quickly covered her mouth.

'What’s wrong with them?' I thought.

I looked at Kakeru. He smiled at me back. I looked the clones again.

'Hmm. Strange...'

"So, what do you want from us?" I asked. "Don't tell me...! You want to join my club after all!"

I thought about such a possibility. It would be great if they joined. We already got shun and Mika so I though a good fortune was finally going my way.

"No... Not that..." Miku said nervously.

"It's not that... We just wanted to talk to Kakeru-kun here." Yuma added.

"T-talk to me? What about?" Kakeru asked with some hesitation in his voice. Was he nervous? Or was it because of me?

"Well, it’s a bit of a secret, so...." Yuma answered.

Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author.

"T-that's right, M-Miku wants to talk privately Kakeru-kun. Hick" Miku added. She looked nervous or even somewhat scared.

I noticed that Yuma and Miku were acting strangely. Maybe they weren't used to talking to boys yet.

"Then how about we talk after school, at the rooftop?" Kakeru suggested.

"Hiii!" Miku trembled with nervousness. She looked down and started staring at her feet while fumbling with her fingers

"But...! Okay let's meet... There.... Kakeru-kun" Yuma was also looking a bit uneasy. She was grabbing the hem of her skirt with her hands.

"Hmm?" I looked intently at the two girls, then turned my head at Kakeru. I started alternating between the three of them.

"Hey, what's going on? Why are you being weird?" I asked.

"That's..." Yuma said.

Then the realisation struck me like a bolt of lightning. 'Ah! It’s that!!'

"Don't tell me...! You guys want to...!" I pointed at the two girls.

'its 'that', right? It can only be that thing!'

'Wanting to talk suddenly to a boy, meeting at the rooftop after school. Looking all nervous and fidgety...'

My cheeks started to heat up slightly.

'They want to confess to Kakeru! Right?!'

"Uhm. What are you thinking about, sis?" Kakeru asked me.

"Nothing! Nothing at all!" I lied. "Ehehehe. Kakeru you are such a lady-killer! I didn't know you were so popular!"

"Hick... Miku... Miku is not..." She said while flailing her hands.

"What?! That's not it!" Yuma and Miku tried to deny me, but the cat was out of the bag.

"Hehe you two are so cute! Ehehehe. It's almost like I'm watching an anime romcom!" I laughed cheerfully. "Kakeru you little..."

I started to poke Kakeru at the shoulder playfully.

"I don't know what you are thinking about sis, but you are wrong." Kakeru smiled at me wryly while scratching his cheek.

"Don't be shy, Kakeru. But you know..." I closed my face to him and started to whisper. "Your big sister doesn't approve of p-polygamy!"

"Huh?" Kakeru raised his eyebrows.

"Y-you know what I mean?!" I asked.

"Sis, how do you even know that word?" He asked me dubiously.

"Aaah! I saw it all in the animes! You know that triangle thing..." I made a triangle with my hands, while blushing.

"Anyway, a I think we should hurry to school or we will be late." He said and looked at the girls. "Both of you should hurry too."

"O-okay!" They nodded nervously and hurried away quickly disappearing.

"Oh, right! I forgot! Let's go, Kakeru!" I said and grabbed his hand.

"Yes, let's go." He said.

We left and went to the school. I was holding Kakeru's hand tightly. We hurried to school together.

"Ah wait, don't pull me sis!" Kakeru said.

"We have to hurry!" I replied.

While we were running a thought came to me.

'I need to see that! I need to see the two confessing to Kakeru. I definitely need to see that!'
