Shizuka frowned as she thought about the current situation.
She had a ticket to see Risette on her comeback tour despite the fact that the tour hadn't even been announced yet and it was all thanks to Narukami Yū.
However it just so happened that Yū-sempai's heart was already claimed by not one, but two girls… either that or he was simply a two timing liar.
Honestly, neither was particularly appealing to her.
Sure she could admit that even now the older teen was clearly the most impressive boy in school (not really that hard given just how bad the males in the school actually were), however he was no longer the perfect figure she had initially expected him to be.
But there was still something about him, an innate charisma that still made it hard to judge him negatively… and it was horrible to realise that.
She wanted to be angry at him for cheating on a couple of girls, she wanted to think of him as trash that wasn't worth the air he breathed… but she simply found that she couldn't.
Plus he had given her a ticket to Risette's comeback tour so that only made it even harder for her to be harsh on him.
She kept quiet during the lunch break, only speaking to thank the boy for the bento as she tried to sort out her thoughts.
Her brother, Erica and Mariya-senpai didn't seem to have any issues with what they learned previously, then again, their relationship was clearly not normal either so it could just be that giving them another perspective from her own.
Honestly the conversation wasn't worth noting, just the fact that the boy now had a car and a standard vehicle licence that allowed him to drive both himself and others around if he ever wanted to.
"Ah, Senpai," her brother spoke up and she focused her attention back on him, "what are you going to do for the summer?"
"I'm going to return to Inaba and visit my friends there," it was a simple answer and she found herself wondering just what sort of things she would do in the small town… which she now realised was the town that Risette's last concert was held, "and how about you?"
"Godou and I shall be travelling over the holidays," Shizuka immediately found her eye twitching at the firm declaration from the European blonde.
"I see," Narukami-senpai didn't seem particularly put off by that claim though she did notice a hint of amusement in his tone, "just make sure you take the time to relax and don't do anything too stressful."
The youngest of the group found herself twitching at the fact that the oldest didn't seem to have any issues with the thought of whatever her brother and Erica would do during their journey and that honestly made her rather… uneasy?
It was like the teen had no issues with the thought that the two may very well get up to something… ecchi while they were away!
"What? How can you just be okay with this?!" Mariya asked disbelievingly, earning a blank stare off the oldest before he gave a very simple answer.
"They're both old enough to know the consequences," her mind froze at that claim. Consequences. That was something that she didn't actually think about that much, her brother was close to a couple of girls and she took that as him taking after their grandfather… but what were the consequences of that?
She briefly considered the thought of becoming an aunt within the year and her mind was once again made up.
She didn't want her brother going travelling with the European blonde!
"Onii-chan…" she growled out, knowing that he tended to give in when she did so… honestly sometimes he was just ludicrously spineless.
"W-what is it, Shizuka?" his voice was clearly trembling, then again that was what she was hoping on.
"I don't want to become an aunt yet," she growled out, only for her brother to start spluttering before doing something she never expected him to.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE A FATHER YET!" his cry was far louder than she normally heard off him and all of a sudden, silence reigned on the rooftop as everyone suddenly began staring at the group.
"Uh… uh…" she could do nothing more than stare in shock as he started to cower at the attention now focused on him, she had not expected him to shout such a declaration with such desperation when she had made her statement but it appeared that he really didn't want to be a father yet… which begged the question of whether it was him or Erica that initiated their relationship.
She still blamed him for it but that was because he was probably still taking after their grandfather and the way he was always seducing the women of the area even without trying.
"Of course you don't," Erica started to speak in the same easy manner she always did, "you are still young and have no reason to be tied down with children yet."
She found herself narrowing her eyes at the blonde, despite her words, Shizuka didn't trust the girl to not try and tie her brother down through that very method.
After all… now that she thought about it, she had never seen Godou initiate anything with the girl, he was always on the receiving end and usually looking uncomfortable… she had just assumed it was because he was being caught by her but what if he really wasn't comfortable around the blonde? What if he was constantly being pushed into those situations and she had been misunderstanding everything about it… hell she had heard about how Erica was so completely dominant in all the sports so it was possible that she may be even stronger than her brother.
Dammit! Her mind was suffering too many troubles right now! She needed some time to think!
It didn't take long for the bell to ring though given the silence that stretched between the end of the conversation until then it was clear that Erica wasn't exactly fooling anyone with her statement.
So she shook her head clear before making her way back to class, wondering just what she was going to do to sort her thoughts out.
