Little sister

???, afternoon, ???.

Walking along a alley, Tadao was wandering around the southern residential district of his town. He was really bored in that moment so he went out to take some fresh air.

Today was the Little Sister Day at Maid Latte but he was forbidden to attend it. The manager knew him very well since he... well, it was better not remember that 'almost bloody' accident of two year ago.

Tadao really wanted a younger sibling to spoil reeeeally hard, even if it was a little brother. Takumi was about three month older.

While the wind was swinging his black hair, from nowhere a little figure jumped on his left leg. Felling the weight on his leg, he turned to it and he saw a dark green little creature clung on his leg.

"Ruri-chan, can you let my leg? I can't walk like that." (Tadao)

"Bring me on you!" (Ruri)

A little child who is throwing a tantrum wasn't something he could handle easily, so he took out his phone to make a call.

"Mrs. Yukimura, it's me... I have a problem here... yes, she... sigh, alright. But please, you don't pamper her too much, she have to grow up sooner or later... bye. Ruri-chan, I bring you to your brother now. (Tadao)

"Yeah!" (Ruri)

Ending the call, Tadao caught Ruri and he placed her on his shoulders. Then, he started walk towards Seika. They also sang a childish song along way to cheer her up.

Ruri Yukimura, little sister of Shōichirō Yukimura. Tadao have meet her first time at a elementary school when he was attending a charity event time ago. There, he have met Ruri who was a student in that school.

That day, Shōichirō had been in charge of take her to home and Tadao had offered to stay at school until his arrive. Meanwhile, he and Ruri had played together and so that was how he have met Shōichirō. Now he was one of Tadao's friends and sometimes he would be helped by him about some personal problem at school.

After gone under many suspicious, warm and jealous glances, they arrived at Seika without being stopped by some police. He has been already stopped so many for this kind of reasons that all the agents in that zone of town know him.

Tadao went towards the council room and he saw Takumi inside it while he was annoying Misaki as always.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Student Council were hardworking because next week there was Seika Sports Festivals. They were really busy with all the paperwork to deal.

"Ssshh, Ruri-chan. Don't disturb them." (Tadao)

"... prince..." (Ruri)

"... Ruri-chan, wait a moment. Can you watch them?" (Ruri)

Tadao placed a finger before his mouth and he told Ruri to stay quiet. However, she was already in her imaginary world. After patted her head, Tadao called her to have her attention.

"He isn't your prince, Ruri-chan. He has already a princess next to him." (Tadao)

"Muu, meanie onii-san. He is Ruri's prince and Ruri's going t-mmmpphh!" (Ruri)

Ruri was going to punch Tadao's head but he put a hand on her mouth and he grabbed her hands. Then, he put down her from his shoulders. Tadao was showing a serious face when he knelt down at Ruri's height.

"Ruri-chan, watch his eyes closely. Do you think he will show you the same kind of eyes? He has eyes only on that girl. I know Ruri-chan is enough mature to understand." (Tadao)

"But he's Ruri's prin-mmmppph!" (Ruri)

While he had a hand on her mouth, he lift her to make her watch inside the council room. Tadao had already wear a glove on the hand on her mouth along the way to here since she was already biting his hand. After 5 minutes of struggle, she calmed down a bit.

Ruri saw the same expression that her parents would show sometimes at home on Takumi's face. She didn't understand the reason, but an awful feeling appeared in her heart. She was still too immature to get its nature but in that moment her prince vision started change.

Human instinct is a good but jerk thing. Although you lack of knowledge, your subconscious will slap your face without knowing it.

Ruri's face started become more depressed at each second passed. When she finally found her prince, he was already snatched by another... princess? It's hard to say but Misaki is more manly than her brother most of time. Feeling it, Ruri was about to cry but she endured it and she wiped away her tears.

"Ruri-chan, look there. Don't you think he's cool now?" (Tadao)

"Eh? Onii..chan?" (Ruri)

After she stopped her tantrum, Tadao pointed towards Yukimura who was dealing his paperwork. His actual serious look was weird if it was comparted to his usual girly behavior.

"Yukimura! How are you? You should pick up your phone when your mother call you." (Tadao)

"Mmh? Ah, Tadao-san! Erm, I was too focused on my work. Maybe I didn't heard my ringtone. Oh right, today I had to pick her up from school." (Shōichirō)

"Muuu!" (Ruri)

Tadao opened the door and called Yukimura who was still focused on his work. Also the other member obviously notice their entrance but they returned to their work after been under the mortal glance of their Prez. Misaki almost inadvertently called the police when she saw Tadao with a child but she stopped when she got the situation. Meanwhile, Takumi showed a interested expression when he saw Tadao's glove.

"I'm sorry Prez! I have to drive my little sister home!" (Shōichirō)

"It's nothing! You can leave soon today, I'll take care of your work." (Misaki)

"Thanks Prez! Now let's go home Ruri." (Shōichirō)

"Muuu..." (Ruri)

Ruri was glaring Tadao with a scowl while her hand was grabbed by his brother. Tadao could only shook his shoulders and he turned to Misaki.

"Prez, I can replace him for his work. You have to train yourself for the festival later." Said Tadao before he sited on Yukimura's previous seat. He pick up some papers from a ended pile of paperworks to understand Yukimura's progress before he started his work.

"What...-?" (Misaki)

"It's only me or he is working at same speed of Prez?" (???)

"How he does it?" (???)

Some member of the council raised their head to watch Tadao's speedy working but they returned again after be scared by a scary Oni. Misaki frowned when she saw Tadao's performance since she could see from her desk he was doing well Yukimura's work. Then she turned towards Takumi next to her for an answer.

"He has been always fast doing this kind of work, even his homework. When I asked the reason he told that it was reaction to a his old trauma but I never really get it." (Takumi)

Not obtaining the wished answer, Misaki returned to her paperwork after she checked him sometimes more to be sure. She had a bad premonition on Tadao's words but she ignored it for the moment. However, she wouldn't remember it for long since her head would be too busy by paperwork.

Takumi have a bad premonition too knowing Tadao. He would always hide some hint behind his words. He believed this year Sport Festival will be more lively than last years, that's for sure.
