My Sister's Best Friend, My Love ch12-1

p1
>We'll begin from a peaceful time.

p2
>There!
>I've got the same as you.

>...It just looked the most delicious.
>That chocolatey thing with the layers...
>Yeah!

>The way the layers gradiate make it look so pretty and great.

>Hah.

p3
>Just now... What did you think?
>...Just now...

>It... rhymed.
>Amazing.
>It did! Thank goodness you didn't think it was a bad pun.
>It's because I've been listening to a lot of songs with rap verses lately.

>I was thinking how cool it would be if I were able to sing like that.
>Do you have any interest in that kind of thing, Sena-san?

>I don't really... listen to music all that much.
>Ah~
>I guess it's not something you'd listen to unless you made it a habit.
>I listen to it while I'm working.
>If you have any recommendations or anything...

>I'll tell you!
>Will you listen to them?
>Sure.
>Okay, let's head back to our seats for now.
>Did you get everything you wanted?
>Yes.

p4
>Those cakes we picked out together were delicious.

>I think I might go back for more later.
>Me too!

>Ah.
>That's right.

>Is it alright if I drop the formal speak?

p5
>Ever since I became an adult, everyone I talk with speaks so formally.
>They're pretty much all older than me.
>That's why,
>since we're the same age, Sena-san... I wanted to speak more freely with you.

>Alright.
>Really?
>Ah, but...

>I'd like you to be less formal too, Sena-san.
>If possible.

>...Sure.

>Also, I'd like to take a photo of your plate
>I forgot to take one of mine just now.
>to keep a record of it.
>A record?

p6
>It's so I can look back on it and think "Sena-san likes this kind of thing".
>I want to invite you out again if I find a store I think you might like.

>...Tha-
>nks.

>I can pretty much eat anything.
>In that case, I'll invite you again if I find somewhere interesting.
>Sure.

>Time to get the next lot.
>Ah.
>I'll come with you.

>It's different from when I'm with Yuuna,
>but Yuria-san is just as easy to talk to.

p7
>By the way, Sena-san,
>how do you and Mamiya-san know each other?

>I thought you had some kind of work relationship,
>but the way the two of you spoke when I met you for the third time seemed peculiar.

>...Mamiya-san hasn't told you herself?
>Thank you very much.
>No.

>If she hasn't said anything... maybe I shouldn't tell her either.

>Mamiya-san is my sister's best friend,
>so my sister would often ask her to check up on me.
>Heh!
>I see~ I had a feeling it was something like that.

p8
>So that's why
>she brought you with her that one time. It's because she was worried about you becoming a shut-in.

>But now... I tell her not to bother.
>I'm starting up work again, after all...

!
>You're returning to work!?

>I don't know if it'll go well, though...
>In that case,

>I'd like to interview you some day!

p9
>I'm curious about why you started writing,
>how your stories come to be,
>and what kinds of things you think about, Sena-san.

>You're curious?
>Yeah.
>I wanna get closer to you, after all.

>What's more, hearing that has made me wanna try harder at my job too!

>I'm gonna go get another cake~

>...I need to do my best too.
