“What… what’s wrong!?”

Kanata suddenly saw the likely cause for Sakura’s fluster. He witnessed his older brother pinning down Sakura’s older sister. He instantly closed the curtains of Sakura’s room on one side.

“Awawawa… Kanata, Kanata…! Aaaaaaaayu-nii, Ayu-nii is pushing down Sis while fondling her boobs…!?”

While rubbing the still flustered Sakura’s back, Kanata tried to reason with her.

“…Sakura, Big Bro and Mika-nee are human. Plus, they’re at that age. Don’t you think it had to happen at some point?”
“Y-Yeah. In the other world, when we had our sleepover, she told me that they’d… aaaaah… already done this stuff twice. W-We can’t tell Mom and Dad, alright? She made me promise…”

Kanata reacted to that “twice”. He had a hunch that the third time happened during the night of the meteor shower. He sighed at the thought of this being the fourth occurrence.

“Well… it’s true. It was unavoidable. It’s not our place to butt in.”
“Th-Th-Th-That’s true… They re only human. Hang on?”

She stiffened at her own words. Kanata, who was peering at the rigid girl, seemed perplexed.

“Is something wrong?”
“Ah… well, if you use that kind of logic… then aren’t we human too? And at that age… Waaaaa!?”

Sakura’s face turned bright red and she buried it in her futon. Kanata felt as if he was watching a cute animal.

“Hey!” The instant she stopped her floundering, Sakura’s face shot up and she gazed at the boy. “R-R-Right… are you also… thinking of doing such lewd stuff with me, Kanata? You pervert!”
“At least let me answer before you call me a pervert…”
“Ah… sorry. But am I right?”

With a hum, Kanata pondered while propping up his chin. A short time later, he came up with a reply.

“Well… it’s true. When we’re together at night, you always hug me tightly while you sleep, so…”
“Ugh…”
“You have a great body and are cute like an angel.”
“Aaaaah, ugh…”
“I’d be lying if I said that I never thought so… and also that I’m not charmed by you. I won’t deny it. But…” He looked at her with a gentle expression, and, after taking a deep breath, continued. “You hate stuff like that, Sakura… or rather, you’re bad with it, aren’t you? I won’t do anything you don’t want me to. I’d like you to believe that.”

He replied rather earnestly to her forceful allegation, making her feel apologetic.

“Uh… yeah. I get it,” she relented, after fidgeting for a bit. “I-I… uhm… when we’re both adults and i-if it’s with you Kanata, it’ll be alright, so please… wait for me to muster my courage. B-Big Sis also told me to wait until I’m in high-school before doing any lewd stuff.”

Contrasting with Sakura’s flushed face, Kanata was smiling, and he pulled her in a gentle embrace. Although she was surprised by the sudden hug, she didn’t try to resist.

“Well, whenever you want is fine. We’re still middle-schoolers.”
“R-Right.”

After ending the embrace and stroking her head, Kanata looked at Sakura.

“By the way… I wonder what those two are up to now.”
“Eh… aaah, a-a-a-a-adult l-l-l-l-level s-s-s-stuff.”
“Hang on… I’ll check it out.”

Kanata opened the curtains he had closed halfway earlier. From there, he looked into Ayumu’s room. The two over there seemed to be chatting happily, while Ayumu stroked Mika’s head.

“…What, looks like nothing happened after the fact.”
“I-It’s true. I was so shocked when I saw what they were doing.”

Keeping the curtains open, Kanata returned to Sakura’s side. Then, he took her hand.

“Say. When we come back to this world and go to school next time, why not walk there while holding hands? Not me being your escort as usual, but like a couple.”
“Wha-…!!”

When Kanata left the house with Sakura, he acted as her support without fail. Said appearance was quite well known at school, and those who had seen him in that role described it as “Kanata is like a gentleman”.

“Th-That’d be… embarrassing…”
“You think so? But no matter how you look at it, I am popular. There are at least seven girls¹ in our class alone who are interested in me.

This was neither him being haughty nor too full of himself, it was the truth. With his (hellishly) good ears, Kanata heard on a daily basis what his classmates thought of Sakura and him.

“I-It’s true that you got lots of chocolate. Still, what does us… being all lovey-dovey have to do with that…?”
“First, it’s so those girls give up on trying to approach me. Next, it’s so the other boys don’t try to get close to you,” he explained while stroking her head. “Finally, at the same time as showing off just how impossibly cute the ‘Bottle-Bottom Glasses Chairwoman of Incessant Studying’ is, it will communicate my intention to absolutely not hand you over.”

Although this made Sakura turn bright red like a tomato, she smiled as she entrusted her body to the boy’s light embrace.

1. It says “seven people” in the original, but I assume it’s only girls for Kanata.
