I 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 .

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 .
