Yurizono Iris (百合園イリス) She has long silver hair that shines. Pure red eyes. She is a gorgeous college student. She is Arisu"s older sister. She is taller and has a bigger bust than Arisu.
Also Even though Arisu and Iris have the same last name. Amane usually refers to Arisu as Yurizono. And Iris as just Iris.
It"s Alice using the super cutesy way of her referring to herself with her own name. I don"t always translate it, but I"ll do it some times, so keep that in mind. Also I don"t always translate the "-sans" but Amane usually uses them.
Morning came.
I feel like I want to die.
I"ve been holding Yanomiya and supporting all of Iris-san"s weight while she sleeps this whole time. How much time has pa.s.sed since we got in this position.
By the way, I have not slept at all. I can"t sleep while I"m in this position.
My body is completely solid and my joints are screaming. I feel so much pain when I just move a little.
It"s been very hard, but I tried my best. I tried to be the best Onii-chan.
". . .nn?"
Yanomiya had a long lovely sleep. She then moved a bit and raised a light voice.
"A giant stag beetleeeeeeee!"
Her eyes went wide open as she yelled that.
Iris-san, who was sleeping softly, suddenly jumped up because of the loud noise. Then she looked around and remembered the position she was in and her face went red.
". . .Oh? The giant stag beetle?. . ."
She stretched her hand out with sleepy eyes, as she said that.
I guess she was having a dream where she found a giant stag beetle.
"Kuu-chan, let"s go check on the banana traps after you wash your face."
A giant stag beetle might be at one of the banana traps by a willow tree.
"Fuaaah!?"
Yanomiya"s sleep eyes instantly vanished when she heard that.
"Yeah! Thank you Amane!"
She seemed to be in high spirits already. After thanking me, she jumped down off my lap and ran towards the bathroom in the house.
"Yanomiysan really is remarkable, isn"t she?"
"Eh?"
Iris-san tilted her head as she said that.
Remarkable? What does she mean by that?
"You"ve been friends with Yanomiya for a long time, Right? So by now she should be used to you helping her, however she still is thankful for you. It think that"s remarkable."
I see, that"s what Iris-san meant.
Certainly Yanomiya says thank you every time.
"Well, me too."
She said that and put her face near me quickly.
And then- – –
I felt Iris-san"s soft moist lips kissed my cheek.
"Thank you for yesterday, Amane Onee-chan."
She smiled at me and said that. I was completely frozen from shock.
"Only because we are alone right now."
She continued to say that and then her face got red soon after.
This older sister may be more dangerous than Yurizono.
Yanomiya and Iris-san went along with me to look at the banana traps.
There were five traps we set up. Unfortunately, two of them were lost.
What was particularly shocking, was that the trap on the willow tree was gone.
I knew there was a possibility of it getting stolen. So I guess I got bad luck.
The remaining three were safe, but there weren"t many insects.
Was it because it was set up at the park road? Was that a bad place because it increased the chance of someone coming and taking away the insects it gathered?
Well, sadly we couldn"t find a giant stag beetle.
"Amane, will we gather insects next year!?"
Yanomiya seemed to have fire in her eyes instead of despair.
"Of course!"
I nodded and answered her. We both smiled at each other.
"We couldn"t find a giant stag beetle this year. But we"ll find one next year for sure, or have fun trying!"
She said that loudly with a smile and gave a victory sign.
Even if she fails she won"t feel depressed and continue to walk ahead to the road of victory.
Yanomiya truly is the strongest.
Our enjoyable camping trip came to an end as we finished cleaning up and entered Iris-san"s car.
"It was fun all the time. I hope we can come again next year."
"We will definitely come again."
"I will find a giant stag beetle next year!"
Takanashi, Kiniwa and Yanomiya were having a pleasant conversation.
"My sister and I caught that giant fish!"
"I ate it! It was world changing, it was like Amane and I connected over the fish!"
"I have no idea what you are saying!"
"Iyaa, Ow ow"
Alice and Yurizono were as usual fighting, but I feel like they are closer than before.
Yurizono used to try and hug me all the time, but her and Alice just been spending a lot more time together.
As I was thinking about that my vision blurred, as I felt my consciousness start to fade away.
Oh yeah, I didn"t get any sleep yesterday.
"That"s enough for today Onee-chan."
"Thank you for your hard work Amane."
"Thank you Amane-chan."
"I love you Amane!"
"Amane-san, if we go to your house we should take a bath together!"
I could hear their voices in the distance.
After that I could hear a shriek from Yurizono, as I a.s.sume she was attacked for her last comment.
Anyways, it was really fun. Thank you guys.
h.e.l.lo. That"s the end of the camping arc, finishing it off in this short chapter. What happens next? Who knows? Probably the people who read ahead, but don"t spoil it ?
The author also left a note thanking everybody for reading a commenting/liking. Just thought I"d let you know.
Next chapter, probably on Wednesday or Thursday. It"s not that long of a chapter, but I usually just release then, not on purpose, but just because. I don"t know why.
Also thank you very much to August for their generous donation and comment. It"s comments like those that makes doing this mean something. So really, I do appreciate you sharing that. I hope the work I do can alleviate some stress off anybodies day, even if it"s only for a little.
Getting the right coffee composition can be hard. The coffee i"ve been making has been mediocre ?
