Idle Talk     Baldy saw it! 2

That day―― Rather, yesterday.

The moment he saw Nee-chan who barged in carrying those grocery bags, Boss' atmosphere changed entirely.

Within the gaze filled with weariness and corruption, a light of interest dwelled.

I said it cooly, but when we saw that, we were reーally quivering.

Without having any interest or concern in anything, all he wanted to do was expand the Kuromizuchi's sphere of influence, and if there was anything that worsened his mood, he'd crush it with a bored expression; it was the end of the world if that Boss held an interest in anything. To the extent where I'd offer my condolences to Boss' target.

And, the day it was revealed that it was our cooking Nee-chan…… That is, observing from over here, of course we became ashen.

Although Nee-chan, she's got good judgement for being so aloof, so she made a run for it instantly.

But speaking of which, as expected it was a stretch to say you got the rooms wrong, Nee-chan.

But after that, it was terrible.

The moment Nee-chan disappeared, Boss' intimidations and violence started.

――In this world, you must obey your superior's orders.

I know that well enough to be bitter about it, but whether I was punched or kicked, I didn't want to talk about Nee-chan.

I don't know, it's not like I was being partial to Nee-chan, but I didn't want to involve her in our world as much as possible. Probably, all four of us thought so too. 1

That's why, even if we were beaten up, we replied with「I don't know, I've seen her face around but that's it」.

Normally, it wouldn't be strange for us to be killed, no joke, but Boss was going easy on us in his own way.

It wasn't out of consideration for us, but it was likely because he was certain that we had a connection to Nee-chan.

He'd probably wanted to use us well to cut off Nee-chan's path of retreat.

Though, sure enough, Nee-chan bit the bait.

To expressly come herself, Nee-chan is seriously an idiot.

But seeing Nee-chan march in, I felt like sobbing.

And after that, when I saw Boss' laughing figure, I felt like shivering.

Even though he's laughing, I can only feel fear, Boss is seriously amazing.

Nee-chan was also super startled.

That Nee-chan doesn't know how Boss usually is might be considered a blessing.

But, it was exactly because she didn't know that she could talk to him that way and get Boss interested in her, so it was completely useless.

「Do you think you can run away, Nanao?」

Hanging up the cell phone, Boss smiled with a glint in his eyes.

――Nee-chan, just give up and come over to this world.

For Nee-chan who fled away somewhere, in my heart, I pressed my hands together in prayer.

Not sure about this sentence. Original here: なんだろうなぁ、別にねえちゃんのことがどうこうというわけじゃないんだけど、あんまり俺らの世界に巻き込みたくないって思ったんだよな。たぶん、俺ら四人とも。 ↩
