Chapter 32
The Calamity of the Second Athletic MeetingI am placing the daughters + brother here for me honestly but also a reminder, I guess .
Nishi Yotsutsuji daughters .
The first daughter is Asahi (朝日)(Morning sun)(Friendly Athletic,Ponytail
The second daughter is Mahiru (真昼)(Midday)(Independent,Shoulder length bob haircut)
Third daughter named Yuudachi(夕立)(Evening Shower)(Long Hair)
The fourth daughter is Yoru . (夜留)(Night)(Aloof, Shoulder length bangs waved . )
The older brother Souji . (奏時) Btw she is always using (私) from now on .
I don’t even know why I keep these still here . I know them by heart now I am sure you do too . But whatever . It feels empty without it . Do people even read this?

“Oh, You four got haircuts”
“Yup,and all of them are different . ”
“Isn’t Yuu-chan’s the same?”
“True,but now you can tell us apart . ”
Now with summer vacation over, the hot topic with the second years is our hair cuts .
Well, we were so alike that n.o.body even noticed when we switched . So I think that being able easily tell us apart now is a good thing .
The gossip lasted for an entire month . It was embarra.s.sing for all of us being the topic of the gossip . I didn’t know if I could endure it much longer .
Luckily I wouldn’t need to .
The Athletic Meeting is an annual event occurring in autumn . And since its quickly approaching and it’s only once a year . The gossip quickly switched from us to the Athletic Meeting . (運動会)(TN:is there a better word for this?)
We are currently in our cla.s.s room, around the homeroom time .
Usually it would be the time to have a lecture or group up but today we are deciding partic.i.p.ation in the athletic events .
“- – – -Well then the ball tossing event will have 10 people added to it . I’ll entrust you guys with that . ”
The main question on deciding teams is settled . With the team for the ball tossing decided it moved on to deciding the teams for the 50 meter and then the relay race .
“- – – Now who will partic.i.p.ate in the 50 meter race?”
Here it comes .
I slowly raised my hand .
Well the 50 meter race is the easiest thing to do in the athletic event .
Because it goes without saying that it is just running for 50 meters . The the running only takes like 10 seconds . In other words it’s only hard work for less than 10 seconds . Could you ask for a more comfortable event?So of course I won’t hesitate .
Although if you are a slow runner it would be embarra.s.sing to partic.i.p.ate . Oneof the few down sides .
I knew that before in my previous life so I always avoided the fifty meter run . However in this life I am quick so I’ll just run with my full strength .
I partic.i.p.ated in it last year as well cause of these reasons .
“Objection!”
Until a voice was raised .
It was Mahiru who spoke up . She then pulled her chair to the side lightly and turned to me with a smile .

“Hey,Yuu-chan didn’t you say last year that we would run together? So wouldn’t it be better to do the relay race?”
“Well no, that . . . . ”
The relay race is 100 meters . It’s double the 50 meter . The fatigue is more than doubled . . . Yeah . . I don’t want to .
“W-Well don’t you need to check in with Asahi and Yoru before yo-”
“It’s fine I already talked with Asahi and Yoru so let’s try our best! Yuu-chan!”
“Uh . . Yea . . . ”
I thought that they didn’t want to attach them self with me . They even got haircuts . Why is it now . . . (必死の一手も読まれていたようで、間髪いれずこの有り様である。これに頷く以外何を返せばいいと言うのか。)(TN:just making sure)
But I don’t think I can go against them .
“Okay . So Mahiru and Yuudachi will be a team together . They are both fast so it will be a strong team . ”
“Well if it’s those two . ”
The conversation turned to talking about us .
“Well then,Both the Nishi Yotsutsuji daughters will partic.i.p.ate in the relay race for us . Please do your best . ”
“We will!”
“ . . . Y-yea . ”
It seems like it was decided that I would take part in the relay race .
Aaah,this will be painful .
I laid my face down on the desk in defeat .
I laid my face down on the desk in defeat .
-Mahiru’s Pov-
I am a bad child .
I often feel that especially recently .
“In order to immediately stop relying on her . ”
That’s what I told Asahi and Yoru when I convinced them to get hair cuts .
No it wasn’t for that reason alone though .
That was merely an excuse .
I just didn’t want to see them depend on Yuu-chan anymore .
Because I didn’t want to complain to Yuu-chan cause of that I didn’t have a reason to rely on her . I didn’t like seeing them do .
Because I didn’t want to show such a scene .
It was merely for that selfish reason .
I was just jealous that they all relied on my her other than me . ( わたしは、妹ながらにわたし以上に頼られている、夕ちゃんに嫉妬していたのです。)(TN:making sure . )
I was just jealous that they all relied on my her other than me . ( わたしは、妹ながらにわたし以上に頼られている、夕ちゃんに嫉妬していたのです。)(TN:making sure . )
I am a bad child .
But .
I looked over to Yuu-chan who suddenly looked up from laying her head on the desk .
Yuu-chan is a good child .
Even if I complained to her about this and my selfishness I am sure Yuu-chan would help me with a smile .
But that would be bad .
I know that it may be pointless but I want to still stand next to her .
I want to be relied on like an older sister .
That’s why I don’t want to rely on Yuu-chan .
Because I feel like it would be the end to that wish if I rely on her .
I have to be able to do it by myself .
Me alone .
