Dullard Buddy-kun: Heading Reluctantly to School Again Today - Episode 27

Um…

Today is Saturday… right?

When I woke up in the morning, the first thought that came to my mind was that, even before realizing that the weather outside today was absolutely perfect.

It’s a lie. Because I can’t believe it.

Why is my sister up so early on her day off?

Usually, no matter how much you wake them up, they only get up after noon.

I know that even the part-time job at the gas station only has night shifts.

Even when she goes out, my sister on her usual days off looks like a delinquent, heading to the convenience store in baggy sweats and a cap.

“Hey, sis. Are you maybe going out with friends today for the first time in a while?”

Well, very rarely, my sister also gets invited by her friends and goes out to play.

My sister is really fickle like a cat, so she basically never makes plans for playdates or anything like that. But today might be one of those rare days.

At the very least, I shouldn’t be going to the convenience store today in that completely formal outfit just to come back home.

“Well, um… something like that.”

Yeah. In my eyes, there she is, my sister Arisa Shibuya, saying that while fixing her bangs in front of the mirror.

Moreover, despite his usual expressionless demeanor

Singing such a little tune…

Aren’t you in a super good mood?

I mean, my sister has always had a personality where her emotions don’t show easily, but recently, it feels like there are more days when her good mood is visibly apparent.

“Has anything interesting happened to you lately?”

Unintentionally, I ask such questions out loud, influenced by my sister’s demeanor.

“Well, I guess… that’s about it.”

The words that came back might be just as curt as before, but as the younger brother, I can tell.

My sister’s eyes, usually so cool, were unusually bright and lively. And her voice was lighter than ever.

Moreover, today my sister smells really nice.
Speaking of which, I thought I heard the sound of a shower coming from the bathroom earlier.

So it wasn’t Mom cleaning the bath, but Sis who was in there?

Indeed, this scent is that of that incredibly expensive shampoo.

I remember well because the other day I accidentally used it, and my sister got really angry at me quietly.

Even so, I wonder where they’re really going?

Amusement parks, maybe?

No, not really, sis. I’m not particularly fond of that kind of thing…

Safe and sound shopping?

No, if that’s the case. No matter how much she’s with her friends, my sister’s personality wouldn’t allow her to be this cheerful.

What the heck is it? That interesting thing that made my sister go this far.

Could it be… a man?

No, that’s not enough.

I admit that my sister is beautiful, but I’ve hardly ever seen her show any interest in that kind of thing…

Actors and idols, I know more about them than the average person, and I’ve seen my sister get confessed to countless times since we were kids, but unfortunately, none of those relationships have ever worked out.

And as I was thinking about such things, I saw my sister, unusually wearing strap sandals, already at the entrance with a wireless earphone in one ear.

“Hey, where are you going today, sis?”

In the end, I couldn’t hold back and asked my sister, who was acting so differently than usual, about the thing that had been bothering me since earlier.

“Um… for now, Documanald.”

And then, saying that, before I knew it, my sister had already left through the front door.

Um, Dokumanaldo is that hamburger place that’s everywhere in the country, right…?

Hmm?

What do you mean?
