High School Life Begins (3)

"Nana wants to know more about Shouya. Aside from getting along with your other fiancees, what do you want from Nana?"

With Nana still gripping my hand, she pressed me even further.

"Hmm, even if you ask me that…"

"For example, money. Unfortunately, Nana's family is just an ordinary household. Even getting into this high school on a recommendation was a close thing for me. Becoming rich right away is probably impossible. But I'll study desperately and put my all into club activities so I can become rich in the future. How about that? I'll dedicate all my junior tournament prize money to you too."

Honestly, we aren't hurting for money at all. I'm already a bit well-off myself, and Mom is even a CEO. When she showed me a photo of our old house, sure, it wasn't as big as the current one, but it was still large. We're definitely in the wealthy bracket. So what I want from a fiancee isn't really that.

"Um, money isn't really it, I guess…"

"Mmh, not it, huh. But money not swaying you easily wins points. A normal man would prioritize money so highly you could call it number one."

"Is that so. But I'm not hurting for money, so… ah, no, I don't mean that as a dig… sorry."

"Fufu ♪ See, kind after all. You can be considerate like that, and I like that too. Look, Nana just fell for Shouya even more."

Nana smiled and forgave my apology. Her expression doesn't move much, but every so often she smiles for me, and when she does, it makes me happy.

"But Nana will work hard to earn money. Not to reel Shouya in with money, but because I need it to support Shouya."

"Yeah, um, do your best…"

"Fufu ♪ I'm happy. Nana will work hard."

To my small bit of encouragement, Nana gave a small smile in return.

"Huh? Aren't you two getting really friendly all of a sudden?"

Arisa's voice came from behind us, and the two of us turned toward it. Kaede was with her too, and when I looked past them, the crowd that had been there a moment ago was gone. It seemed the group-chat business had wrapped up.

"Why are you both still holding hands?"

Kaede took in our state and asked curiously. Now that she mentioned it, Nana hadn't let go after the earlier handshake, and I'd just left it and forgotten about it.

"Kaede. Shouya hadn't even noticed. I wish you hadn't said anything."

Nana sounded disappointed as she let go of my hand. With her warm hand gone, my fingertips felt cold and lonely.

"Hey Kaede, the two of them seem to be getting along, so wouldn't it be fine to exchange contact info?"

"That's true… Amagi-san, Shouya's contact info…"

"Nana."

"Eh?"

"I want you two to call me Nana too. My family calls me that. Shouya does too ♡"

"Ehh!?"

At Nana's words, Kaede was even more surprised and let out a loud cry. If she'd ended up on a "Nana"-basis relationship without realizing it, of course that would surprise her.

"Kaede and Arisa will be family someday too."

"Family, you say…"

Kaede's mouth was hanging open, opening and closing like a fish's.

"Nana-chan, did you fall for Shouya already?"

Arisa, on the other hand, was teasing Nana with a grin, egging her on. And she was already casually using "Nana."

"Yeah. Nana likes Shouya. I'm liking him more and more even now. Someday I want Shouya to come to like Nana too."

At Nana's sudden confession, not only Kaede but Arisa as well were left gaping. Arisa had probably expected her to get flustered like Kousaka-san.

"Shouya. Let's exchange contact info. We've gotten close enough, and we have Kaede's permission."

"Yeah… I guess so."

Glancing sidelong at the two who were too stunned to speak, we exchanged contact info.

"Fufu ♪ Shouya's contact info ♡ To think I could get it today…"

Nana was looking at her phone screen with delight. The fact that I'm glad just to see her smile again probably means my heart's already been caught by her.

"Then I'll head home for today. Shouya is tired from getting bombarded with questions, sorry for keeping you."

"I'm fine, thank you."

Nana peered into my face as if checking on my condition. Her half-lidded, sleepy eyes stared at me hard enough that I felt like I might get sucked in.

"I see. Then that's good."

As Nana let out a relieved breath, there was the sound of a knock on the classroom door, then the door opening.

"Excuse me. Is Izumi Shouya-kun here?"

I looked toward the familiar voice and saw that Masami-onee-chan had come. The whole class was looking at me, the one called by name, and at my big sister, the student council president. Sure enough, on the very first day, having the student council president show up in the classroom would make anyone wonder what was going on.

"Shouya. The student council president just called you out of the blue. Do you know her?"

"Yeah, she's my onee-chan."

"I see. Onee-san… right, the surname is the same, Izumi. I need to greet her."

When Onee-chan spotted me, her face lit up happily and she walked over.

"Shouya, the self-introductions and all must have been exhausting, right? Good work."

"Yeah, thanks."

When Onee-chan saw Nana beside me, she asked, "A friend of yours?" Then, before I could answer, Nana launched into a self-introduction more fluent than any I'd ever heard from her.

"Nice to meet you, Masami-san. I'm Amagi Nanase."

"My, thank you. I'm Shouya's older sister, Masami. Please get along with Shouya."

"Of course. I'll spend my whole life supporting Shouya."

This was starting to feel less like a greeting to an older sister and more like a greeting to a marriage partner's parent.

"I see. So you like Shouya… As long as you don't make him sad or hurt him, you have my support, Amagi-san."

"Thank you very much."

Onee-chan's atmosphere had suddenly shifted, so I'd half-expected something like "I won't hand my little brother over!" but to my surprise she actually seemed to be cheering Nana on.

But even though her words were supportive, the atmosphere was a little scary. Somehow her eyes didn't feel like they were smiling.

"Amagi-san, you don't have to force yourself to use polite speech. You're not used to it, are you?"

"Mmh. How did you see through me?"

"Hmm, a hunch, I guess."

"Well, never mind. I'd like you to please call me Nana too. Family, and people who are going to be family, call me that."

Nana made the customary "call me Nana" demand of Onee-chan, just like she did with everyone around me.

"Got it, Nana-chan! And you can call me Masami too! It almost feels like I've gained a new little sister!"

Onee-chan was happily patting Nana's head. While Kaede, Arisa, and I were barely keeping up with Nana's pace, Onee-chan looked like she was riding it with ease. Maybe this is what an elder's composure looks like.

"Ah, that reminds me. Nana-chan, can I borrow Shouya?"

"It's fine. I was just heading home."

"I see, sorry for keeping you, then. Take care on your way back!"

"Yeah."

After exchanging her goodbyes with Onee-chan, Nana turned back to face me.

"Shouya. See you. I'll be looking forward to your next school day. Kaede and Arisa, see you tomorrow too."

"Yeah, see you."

""See you tomorrow…""

I exchanged goodbyes with Nana. I'm looking forward to seeing my new friend again too. Kaede and Arisa, meanwhile, were still being swept up in the storm of Nana's momentum.

"All right then, Shouya, sorry to spring this on you, but can you grab your stuff and come with Onee-chan?"

"That's fine, but where to?"

"The student council room."

"The student council room?"

What on earth did she want with me, calling me out to a place like that? It had to be something school-related, but I had absolutely no idea what. As I puzzled it over, Onee-chan took my hand and started walking.

"Kaede, I'll message you when we're done, so kill some time in the classroom."

"Got it～"

I wonder if Kaede knows what's going on, or if she doesn't know but isn't worried because it's Onee-chan. Which one is it?

"Arisa, see you."

"Y-yeah, see you…"

Arisa didn't seem to know anything, and I doubt Kaede knows either. Well, Onee-chan is with me, so I shouldn't have anything to worry about.

"Onee-chan, we're inside the school, so we don't need to hold hands…"

"Doesn't matter, let's hold them ♡"

After walking around the school for a while hand in hand with Onee-chan, we arrived at a door labeled "Student Council Room." Onee-chan opened the door with a rattle, without bothering to knock.

"We're heeere! Shouya, this is the student council room. Come in, come in."

Looking inside, I saw two students with documents, plus snacks and teacups. In the back of the room there was even a sofa with a low table. Wait, since this is the student council, that means everyone here is a senpai. I'd better be careful. I hope they don't think I'm being rude for staring.

"Ex-excuse me…"

"Fufu ♪ Shouya, you don't need to be so scared, okay?"

Onee-chan gently rubbed my back, but being surrounded by older people I didn't know was nerve-racking.

"Nice to meet you, Shouya-kun. I'm the vice-president, Aizawa Haruka. I've heard so much about you from Mii-chan. Now, have a seat ♡"

Aizawa-senpai, with her fluffy sky-blue bob, gently guided me to a seat. She's taller than me, about the same as Masami-onee-chan.

But what's noteworthy is that her breasts are even bigger than Onee-chan's. Masami-onee-chan has the biggest breasts of all my sisters, and hers are bigger still. It's incredibly rude of me, but I found myself comparing Onee-chan's and Aizawa-senpai's breasts.

"I'm the student council secretary, Fukushima Chiaki. Nice to meet you, Izumi-kun."

Sitting across from me was Fukushima-senpai, her flax-colored hair tied in twin low-tails behind her. She's about my height, with average-sized breasts. Her body type is close to Kaede's, maybe? Once I noticed that, I remembered being intimate with Kaede and started getting worked up.

"Um, I'm Izumi Shouya… pleased to make your acquaintance."

Once everyone was seated, Onee-chan got straight to the point.

"To put it bluntly, I'd like you, Shouya, to join the student council as the representative of the male students."

The student council? I'd been wondering what on earth she was going to tell me, and it was that she wanted me to join the student council…

"Even if I say 'join,' the job is just to act as a go-between for the student council and the male students, and there's never actually been any real work to do until now."

So there's no specific work, but having a male student on the roster is necessary as a formality, I guess. Still, isn't it strange to make a first-year do it?

"Normally we'd ask a third-year boy, but… it'd be easier for me if Shouya did it, so will you listen to your Onee-chan's request?"

Well, with a member of my own family on the student council, I am probably the most fitting choice… Plus, I haven't gotten to spend much time with Onee-chan lately, so it could also be an excuse to be with her.

"Got it, I'll do it."

"Thank you! Shouya! Now it'll be easier to do my job, and I can be with Shouya too!"

Onee-chan went out of her way to stand up from her seat and hug me from behind. Her large breasts pressed against my back with a soft, squishing weight. Onee-chan and the others don't realize how hard I work to keep from getting an erection whenever they press their breasts against me.

"Fufu ♪ That's wonderful, Mii-chan."

"Congratulations! Masami-senpai!"

The two other student council members were smiling at Onee-chan's display.

"With that, work's done for today! Let's eat snacks, Shouya!"

Onee-chan moved from the desk to where the sofa was at the back of the room and beckoned me over.

"Shouya! Sit next to Onee-chan!"

When Onee-chan sat down on the sofa, she patted the seat beside her, inviting me. When I sat down leaving a little space, she closed the gap.

"Fufu ♪ I'm right up against Shouya ♡"

Onee-chan was being even more affectionate than usual. I'd been doing nothing but gaming lately and hadn't been touching base with family, so I couldn't blame her. I need to make up for it properly, I reflected.

While I was getting all snuggly with Onee-chan, Aizawa-senpai set some snacks on the table in front of us. In that moment, through the gap in her blazer, I caught a glimpse of her breasts swaying inside her shirt. With Onee-chan's breasts pressed against my shoulder, my eyes were chasing Aizawa-senpai's breasts. What an extravagance.

"Please have some snacks, Shouya-kun ♡"

"Ah, thank you very much."

"It must be your first time talking to senpai, so you must be nervous, but Haruka-senpai is kind and your onee-san is here, so it'll be fine."

While I was sneaking glances at Aizawa-senpai's breasts, Fukushima-senpai spoke reassuringly as she set a cup of coffee on the low table.

"The student council room has snacks and coffee too, huh."

I asked Onee-chan beside me, curious. Snacks aside, is it normal to have coffee and tea sets here?

"The snacks are just something we buy and restock on our own, but the practice of keeping cups and the like apparently goes way back."

Onee-chan answered my question while adding milk and sugar to her coffee. So it's clear that even she doesn't know why it's there.

"But since we can chat while eating snacks, we end up coming to the student council room even when there's no work to do～."

Onee-chan added sugar and milk to my coffee too, making me a sweet cup.

"You can come by anytime too, Shouya-kun, you know? At least one of us three should always be here."

Aizawa-senpai was kindly trying to welcome me into the student council circle. From the little we'd chatted today, both seemed like good people, and my unease faded. I spent the time until I went home enjoying sweet coffee and snacks with the three of them.
