The For Number One
5: The missing child

1

“So I want ice cream.”

“Kak photo me.”

“Snap to here.”

“Kak, I want to see penguin.”

“Do not withdraw! shameful.”

Plaque.

“Don't snap at him! you can make her cry.”

After hitting my head with a roll of paper that she had somehow gotten from nowhere. Lisa Aprilia immediately went along with a girl smaller than her to the penguin spot.

So, how did my situation get to be like this. I mean, how did I end up with a little girl and a little girl in the zoo even though I never had any vacation plans?.

It all started with Lisa's absence. At first I thought that by not leaving the little tiger I could relax a little more. But it turns out that she seems to have cursed me so that I can't go to school quietly even if she's not around.

2

This morning, I who had started to get used to my new schedule was able to wake up earlier than usual. And as soon as I opened my eyes I was suddenly interrupted by my phone whose alarm should not have gone off.

And as soon as I checked, I found an incoming text that the sender was Lisa. Then as soon as I read the contents of the message, I immediately couldn't help but smile. Unconsciously I was almost laughing.

The message is. .

‘I can't accompany you today , maybe I won't go to school either but that doesn't mean you can be lazy ok!.’

What I was waiting for finally came. Since the day Lisa challenged me she always bothered me from morning till evening. Even when I ran away to the house, he kept pressing me to do what he wanted.

From his words he seemed to be in a hurry, and people in a hurry usually did not have much time. That means he can't be free to charge me, and if he doesn't leave it means that at school there won't be anyone bothering me. In other words, my long-lost peaceful life will return even if only for a while.

“Thank you very much.”

Unknowingly I got off the bed and put my forehead on the floor.

After hearing the news, I could no longer sleep. Because of that I decided to go to the kitchen and cook food other than instant noodles. I made an omelet that took a while, but since I woke up faster and still had time I didn't need to rush.

I even muttered again what I had forgotten the title while cooking. That's how happy I am.

When I finished cooking I built my two sisters and told them to take a shower. And as soon as they finished changing clothes I had breakfast with both of them. While putting on a happy face.

“Why haven't you changed into Harsa?.”

It's just that being happy seems like it's just me. I don't know why I feel that Hany's question even though it sounds ordinary but like there's a durinya.

“I still have business at home, today I will leave more noon.”

Brother Hany looked at me more sharply, he narrowed his eyes as if he was checking that I was really me.

“From yesterday did you look happy? what is Harsa?.”

“Ahahaha. . nothing.”

Another with sister Hany who put on an ordinary face but it feels like the mood is bad. Anna put on a face not caring but looked like she was in a good mood.

“Didn't you wake up earlier than usual? what do you want to do?.”

Actually I will not do anything and just leave for the afternoon because I want to be lazy at home. But of course I can't tell that kind of excuse to my brother who is looking at me with that serious face.

“What does it have to do with April?.”

“That's.”

Since he won't pick me up this morning I can use my free time to relax. A day like this is a very rare day. Lisa is a serious girl, and when she's serious she'll pursue her goals like crazy.

And of course when he said he wanted to be number one and beat me he said it seriously. Otherwise, he would have been unlikely to do such excessive things as threatening me from behind just to make me comply with his request.

Then the reason he pursued is academic value surely he will also try to be as smart as possible in doing academic activities. So in conclusion, if it wasn't for something really important he wouldn't have been absent from school. That's why I need to make the best use of the free time I have now.

“What's that special April?.”

“Ha?. .”

If it's a special issue or not, I think he's special. In fact, it can be said that the status is the same as rare animals that need to be protected by the government. I mean, the chances of you finding a mini-sized High School girl who still looks cute are only as big as the chances of you finding a grain of rice in a pile of sand.

Besides, even though his body size is mini but he has a lot of energy. If anyone says he's an android from the future who has a Higgs reactor on his chest. I'll just have him shoot the coin as a railgun.

“Forget! . . . We will leave first.”

“Be careful on the road then.”

Brother Hany seemed to want to say something, but he decided not to say anything and just replied ‘hm’ while going out and leaving with sister Anna.

After that I relaxed at home for half an hour before finally deciding to go to school. Because usually I was always made to leave in a hurry by April, sometimes I want to walk casually just like before my life was colonized by the girl.

The weather today is quite bright, although the sun shines bright but the light is still not hot and even feels comfortable on the skin. In addition, the breeze that sometimes comes also makes the air so the atmosphere becomes more comfortable. If my name was Tanaka, maybe I'd been sleeping on the street.

“Kak Harsa choose which one? arrested by the police for kidnapping, so the moons for misunderstanding, or helping me do something.”

If the person does not meet a little girl who carries a portable alarm while putting on a threatening face and also giving threatening words.

“I don't have much money, so please just rob someone else.”

The name of the girl who was facing me in the middle of the street was Lily. She was about nine or ten years old, when she was younger she used to stop by my house to play with Hany's sister and Anna's sister before they became busy people. And of course, we knew each other considering I still remember being made a horse by him.

“Don't worry, I know that Harsa's brother is always short of throne, possessions and women.”

“You think I'm what?.”

“Lonely men.”

“Woi.”

“I need help brother Harsa! if you help me I'll even pay you!.”

“I refuse!, I'm busy!”

Judging from anywhere, the offer was too suspicious. And for people who've been caught up in suspicious offers that other little girls have given me, I'm pretty sure that his request will get me in trouble later.

Besides, I was a bit worried about Lisa and planned to visit her place later after school.

“I understand.”

“. . .?.”

I was shocked because he suddenly gave up. But if he understands, then I don't have to comply with his request.

“If you want to help me, I will call you Onii-chan.”

He blinked one eye at me.

“Ha?.”

“All men your age would want to be called Onii-chan by a beautiful girl, which is why I would grant your wish wrong.”

Wow, this brat is really arrogant. And what kind of ngawur information does he have? although it is true that my chest was racing when she called me Onii-chan with a plain face. That feeling didn't come about because I was happy, but was afraid that someone might look and misunderstand me and think I told him to call me that.

Putting aside the usual full knowledge that I was sure of the source of his spectacle on Sunday, his arrogance was by no means without basis. I mean, look at it from wherever it looks sweet. I'm sure that there will be a lot of people out there fighting to be called Onii-chan.

I don't mind if he calls me that.

If the situation is not as it is now.

“How so? want to help me no?.”

“I'm really in a hurry Lily, if you want to mess around, just find another victim!.”

One little troublemaker girl is enough for me, I don't need a bonus at all. If there is someone who wants to give me a bonus, please give me a bonus in the form of xp so that I can upgrade my hit point that started a few weeks ago status is often low.

“I failed to catch Anna and sister Hany, because that's my only choice for sister Harsa.”

So, her original plan was to ask Anna and Hany for help, but since she was late to the two she decided to wait for me to be asked for help. If he's willing to wait for us, it means he thinks that only we can help him.

Knowing that someone had an opinion that I was reliable somewhat pleased me, and if the situation supported me I would not mind helping him either. Too bad, I can't ditch this kid, 'cause I'm in a war fighting for a screech with Lisa now. And in that war, the grades and points from the report book at the end of that semester were very important.

Then, please do not use the word net. You think my brother's an insect.

“If brother Harsa does not want to help me, forced I have to use violence.”

The violence? just sorry. But your threat is not threatening at all. I mean, there's no way I'm gonna lose to a little girl who's only tall until my belly's in physical trouble. Besides, if she miraculously has Lisa-level powers, I won't give up. I'm sorry, but I've accumulated experience to overcome the hyperactive mini-sized girl.

“Go ahead if you dare.”

I mounted the horses to prepare to face his attack. But Lily did not move and instead just stayed in place while holding a bracelet containing a portable alarm in her left hand. Thereafter.

Ringringringringringringringringringringring!!!. . . . .

“Toloooonggg!!! There is a penc. . .”

“Time up! Time up! Time up! Time up! i surrender!! i surrender! so please turn off your personal safety alarm right now!!!.”

“So? are you gonna help me or not? brother Harsa?.”

“Your plain face really cheats.”

This little girl is really sneaky. I didn't expect that he would actually execute the threat he said when we met. If the police come then I will be taken to the post for this and that questioning, although in the end I am sure I can escape Lily's ignorance by explaining the situation my narrow time will be wasted.

If the people who come are the people around our residence who know the two of us, the two of us, I'm sure that they're gonna nag me and Lily for hours for playing around with something that shouldn't be a toy.

And if the one who came was a stranger who did not know the situation, it could be that I would get battered and go to the hospital and then forced to shut myself down for some time.

“Thank you.”

That's not a compliment boy!!!.

“I promise I will help you, but I can only do it after school! you don't mind?.”

“No problem, I will compromise and adjust! if possible I also do not want to trouble sister Harsa.”

It's just my feeling or from earlier you've been very troublesome.

“Then I will leave first, wait for me after the day. .”

Before I could walk, Lily pulled my sleeve hard and looked at me seriously.

“I'm coming.”

“Hah?. .”

“I don't want brother Harsa to escape.”

“I won't run away!!.”

“I can't believe so I'll come.”

Don't act like a wife who sees her husband cheating!!!.. I don't have the nickname Ryuuou and I don't remember ever teaching you how to play shogi to be a pro!. So don't suddenly put up a yandere face while holding your safety alarm!!. I could die.

Socially.

“This time I really gave up!.”

“Good son.”

He stood on his tiptoes and patted my head. And since I already had no motivation to fight, I gave it away. Thereafter.

“I've been tired of waiting for you for an hour and a half, so I don't have any more energy!.”

“Then what?.”

“Take me Onii-chan!.”

That morning, I ran to school holding Lily because I didn't want to be late for first-hour class. And in the morning too, I learned what the saying really means, ‘calm before the storm.’.

3

As soon as I put Lily in the UKS, I ran straight to class. And luckily, I'm not too late. Unfortunately, because once I entered the bell immediately rang, I did not have time to relax a little and throw away the bad taste of sweat that stuck to my clothes.

Because the heat in my body is still not gone, I can not concentrate too much on the lesson. And because the teacher who teaches in the first hour is the type of person who only conveys what is in the book. The class felt really static. Everyone just looks at a book, draws it, or sleeps.

Wait up! you're the one sitting three benches in front of me! you don't have to be that sad until you have to sleep!. I mean, it's just the first hour.

“. . . .”

I looked around the whole class and felt like this class was weird. This class is not a class that is famous for its shy and obedient children, but a class with noisy students who are difficult to keep quiet. Looks like the effects of Lisa's absence are bigger than I thought.

The first and second hours ended with the class remaining quiet like a grave. And because I was also busy thinking about whether Lily didn't decide to wander alone in school or not, I can't focus a hundred percent on listening to an explanation that can actually be cut into a few lines.

As soon as the first break bell rang, I went straight to the UKS to check on Lily. Leaving behind Arisa and Sigra who seemed to want to talk about something.

And as soon as I arrived, I immediately let out a sigh of relief. Because I found Lily sleeping on her UKS bed with peace. If he sleeps it means he won't be able to create any additional problems, like walking around and getting lost and forcing me to look for him and ditching lessons.

“I think I'll take a break here.”

Looking at her behavior this morning and the memories of the past that I can still remember a little about this boy, I'm sure that Lily is the same type of person as Lisa. Someone who is over-energy and cannot be silent. To make sure that he didn't suddenly wake up and come out, I would wait for him during the break.

“By the way about similar. . “

If you can be quiet, they really look sweet. Although Lily and Lisa are cute from there, but I have a bit of trouble admiring their cuteness because more often they are too focused on thinking about ways to overcome the problems they create.

Then. .

Because nothing else can be a matter of attention, inevitably my attention is taken over by Lily's face. Or rather smooth cheeks that look very soft. The same cheeks as Lisa's.

By the way I've always wondered what it's like to touch her.

“Lily. . . You're still sleeping right?.”

He did not answer and his face showed no reaction at all when he heard what I said earlier. I hope he's really still asleep and not just pretending to be asleep just to trap me so he can have material to threaten.

After confirming that Lily was completely unconscious, I pulled my chair to get closer to her. After that I put my palm over her head and stroked her hair. Then I lowered my hand and removed the thin strands of her hair from her face and began to lower my hand to her cheek.

“This sensation.”

Since I didn't have a younger brother, I never had a chance to pinch someone's cheek. In fact, you could say that often happens is the opposite, it used to be my two brothers who often pinched my cheek.

At the time I didn't know why they did it, but now I understand. The cheeks of a child are really good to hold. My hands feel pampered by the smooth skin and chewy texture like the jelly that Lily's cheeks have.

“Ehehe. .”

I don't think there's any harm in trying the other one, either.

And as soon as I tried to stand up to hold Lily's cheek next to her, suddenly the door of the UKS room opened and showed two familiar figures. Arisa and also Sigra, who are now putting on a face as if they have just found a criminal.

“Sigra, quickly call the police.”

“Ok.”

“Wait a minute!!!.”

2

“So what is your defense, Mr Harsa?.”

“What defense is Arisa? I just want to pinch her cheek?.”

“Do not believe Arisa! from his face I'm sure that he was thinking perverted earlier.”

“You can be silent not Sigra.”

“You are silent! this is a court so please calm down.”

Since when the UKS this school has an additional function as a court. Then please stop swinging that stethoscope you're holding Arisa, I don't want to be held responsible just in case it breaks.

“So, who is he? you didn't cheat on April's back with another little girl right?.”

Stop saying little things, don't you realize you're little Arisa too?. Also, don't treat April like a child. He is small, but small is only his body, not his age. And what does it mean to cheat? I don't even have that kind of relationship with that girl.

“Then last one, stop treating me like a criminal!!!.”

“Then where did you get that little girl?.”

“I just want to help him do something, because I can't the next morning I told him to wait for me until school.”

“Suspicious.”

There is nothing suspicious about what I did. In fact, you should praise me for wanting to be tricked by a child into doing what he wants. If there's anything suspicious it's a request for help. Lily said she wanted to ask me for help, but I didn't know what she wanted to do.

“Then just ask the person.”

I pat Lily on the face and shake her body to wake up. And after a while of waiting, he finally woke up as well. While rubbing his eyes that seemed probably still sticky, he checked the situation around him.

“Lily, explain to these people why you're here.”

It is common knowledge that the sentences of women and children are much more trusted than the words of men. That's why, rather than continue to talk and never heard the contents, he said, it's better if the person in question explains that I'm just a kind-hearted neighbor who is not forced to take him to school to help him.

“Don't be afraid of little girls, just talk the truth.”

Arisa, you can't stop treating me like a criminal.

“Um. . . . .”

Lily tilted her head, probably trying to make sense of the situation right now. He saw me, Sigra, and Arisa who were putting on a face like a detective on television in turn. After that, he smiled and said. . .

“Kak Harsa said he would do whatever I asked if I wanted him to take to school.”

Suddenly the situation became calm, or even arguably suddenly UKS which was quiet so much more quiet like a grave. And while still, Sigra and Arisa walked backwards away from me like ghosts.

“. . “

“. . “

“Wait first! wait up!!! don't look at me with ‘just die you’ like that!! you guys don't seriously believe what he says, do you?.”

Although in theory what Lily said was true, I was sure that what she said could be interpreted in the direction Sigra and Arisa were thinking. Because while saying that Lily put on a happy face and also a smile, there was absolutely no sign that she had come here by force. Besides of.

If the two of them really seriously believed that I was committing a criminal act I would really cry.

“So you guys have any business here.”

If you guys don't want to stop by yourself then I'll change the topic by force. And if you still want to continue with the previous topic, I have no choice but to throw them out of this room or run away.

“Ah. . .”

Arisa took a long breath. It seems like he understands what I'm trying to do. If we keep joking their business will not be finished either.

“You know now what day?.”

“Senin, then?.”

“Piket, today is your turn!.”

“Ah. . I seem to have forgotten.”

“Sorry. .”

I totally forgot. It seems like I've been relying on Lisa too much as an alarm and subconsciously assumed that her silence meant there was nothing I needed to do.

Hold still. Why do I feel like a pet dog?.

“Gah. .”

It seems like April's hard way was instead the effect was reversed from what she wanted. He said he wanted to make me a person who could be his rival, but the opposite happened. I realized I was relying on him too much. If I let this go, over time I will depend on it too much.

“Why are you Harsa?.”

“It's okay, I just realized that I've become a rather useless person.”

“Thank God you were aware.”

“Woi!.’

“You can introspeski yourself later, but now go back to class and do your job.”

“Um.”

I went with Arisa and Sigra after warning Lily not to go for a walk. Making sure he knows where my class is in order to have a clear goal in case he gets in trouble, and also tell him that he can ask to be delivered to sister Hany or Anna suppose no one knows my name.

The next lesson is language by Dian.  And to follow it we needed to move to a language class where there was a lot of equipment that picket officers today were checking and preparing. Once the audio-visual equipment is ready, lessons can finally begin.

And once the lesson begins the atmosphere that existed in the previous hour reappeared. It was still the same as before everyone was still acting static. Normally this kind of thing is certainly not a bad thing, my classmates paid a lot of attention to the lesson. Usually that is enough.

But for lesson times a student needs to be active and talk. Given this room is made with the aim that students can interact easily.

After about half an hour of explaining the language formula, its application, and also some examples of teachers in front stopped to look at their students.

With a confused face.

As long as the lesson is given no one discusses it, once the example is given no one asks, then when he finishes explaining everything on his agenda no one says understand or not understand. That way, the teacher in front seemed to have difficulty determining the actual students including me, it was really listening or not.

“Ok, let’s have a quiz.”

If one does not want to go forward and ask willingly, then the most traditional way that a teacher can use is to make questions and force his students to answer by pointing them one by one. Make everyone prepare themselves in case he is told to answer.

“Yang replied without having to I point will get plus.”

In this situation, usually Lisa will immediately stand first and raise her hand. But once he was not around, the offer given by Miss Dian became like something worthless. Most of the students just looked at each other in silence.

“Any. .”

Since entering this class, the first time this class feels this lonely. Although it cannot be said to be a class with the brightest people because the class settings are not based on rankings, but this class is even famous as a fairly active class. A rather polite mention of ‘a difficult class diam’.

I looked towards Arisa considering that she was someone who was quite close to Lisa by both nature and achievement. And posture too. He's a fifth-ranked test seat, so I thought maybe he'd be interested in a plus offer.

“. . . .”

But he immediately took his eyes off me after taking a quick look at me.

“Eh?. .”

What does it mean that I can't depend on him to make this classroom feel a little better?.

“Someone please answer this question.”

Ms. Dian displayed a short question on the projector, after which it was silent and gave time for someone to raise his hand voluntarily.

The questions given are not difficult. All we need to do is look for the wrong part of the sentence“She is five years old, old, wearing T-shirt and having length hair and blue eyes”and replacing the wrong word with other words that are more suitable.

“ . . .”

Once again I looked around me and noticed my classmates. Arisa is still busy with her book, Sigra is doing the same thing as I pay attention to the atmosphere around her. And still the same as before, I still did not find anyone who seemed to want to raise a hand and answer.

“Wait a minute. .”

Besides general talks like ‘you're the only-you're’ that I can hear from here and there. There were many students who spoke about the answer directly. It shows that most of them understand the lesson and know the answer to the question given.

“Ahh. . I get it.”

They do not answer because they do not know, they are silent not because they are not interested in the offer that the teacher gives. The reason why they acted passively was not at all complicated. All of that can happen because they're the same as I was yesterday before I met Lisa.

Do not want to act flashy and attract attention, do not dare to talk because it feels awkward, or feel that the value of ‘quite’ is enough.

“So so.”

If the problem is only it means the solution of the problem, which I usually do not consider this problem very simple. They need a trigger, they need someone to follow, and they're someone to encourage them to take the first step.

They need someone like Lisa.

Same as me.

Before Lisa came and ransacked my life schedule, I was just like them. No, I'm worse than them. Always aim for the least position because of fear of failing when aiming for something, always put yourself under the radar for fear of being insulted so failed to do something, and always put yourself under the radar, and also always retreat before a fight because it feels something is too difficult to do.

Finding achievement is futile.

Is what I always think.

But now another. I have to get a high score, I have to get a ranking because if I can't beat someone's score, there's a little girl who will stick around and keep kicking me every day.

And with this kind of atmosphere I did not feel like I could absorb all the lessons that were given.

“What can I do.”

Lisa didn't leave today, which means today was a day where I had plenty of opportunities to steal value from her. Language is one of those subjects that I've learned a lot, if I can add to my grades with the bonuses given by Miss Diana I think winning in this lesson from April is not impossible.

“Be Prepared Lisa.”

Because it looks like I'm going to win the next language test.

“Bu! the wrong one from the sentence was length, it should have been replaced long.”

“Good, I'll give you add plus to your task.”

“Thank you.”

Bu Dian turned his gaze to the other students to encourage the other students to answer willingly.

“And for the question number two.”

I looked back and saw Arisa sigh and stand up and raise her hand.

“I bu Dian, should from ‘should you mind if I open the window’ is wrong and need to be replaced to would.”

“Ok, thanks Arisa. . . and for number three. .”

“I! my! me!!.”

“Yes Sigra.”

“The one from ‘It’s the more popular store in town so the products are quite good’ is ‘quite’ because the word means calm, in other words not connect.”

“Um . . .It’s wrong, but I’ll give you a plus for your bravery.”

“Means Bu?.”

“That means, Sigra is a very smart student.”

“Ehehe. . . thank you.”

After that most of the students in the class laughed. Make the atmosphere that was once quiet so bright again, then in the end there is no need to force one student to answer the questions given. Because once someone has started, others immediately race to run.

The lesson ended with the passing of Dian ma'am accompanied by disappointed cheers from my classmates after three hours passed. And for some reason, when my classmates were about to come out as soon as the second break rang, some of them patted my back.

When I asked why they did it, they just answered me with ‘not anything’.

“Any.”

“You mean you?.”

Other than Lisa and Sigra, normally in this school no one else walks with me unless forced to. But once out of class, for some reason Arisa stayed with me and even followed me who tried to go to the cafeteria after getting an SMS that Lily was with my two sisters there.

I heard the announcement that he was called the principal, and it was true that he could go there using the path I used. But using that path, he basically had to go around in circles.

“Since when did the class president have an eavesdropping hobby?.”

“You're weird it's public secret.”

“Then why are you approaching a freak like me?.”

“Because normal people usually like to stay away from you, that's why it seems you're a safe person to use as a hiding place.”

“From?.”

“Peace.”

“You . . . Don't like to be the material of attention?.”

“Maybe you'll find it hard to believe, but I'm actually a little jealous of your way of life.”

“You envy me?.”

How Arisa who from my direction looks like she has everything can envy me. I mean, even if I never said it, I could feel that he was raised in a good, well-off environment. He has high socialization ability and has many friends, sweet appearance that makes many people want to defend him without much question, he said, as well as a smart brain that can bring it in a fairly high ranking even in this school that I think is too competitive.

“Arisa, I'm sure you still remember the old saying about the neighboring grass that looks greener.”

Losing you can envy me means you need to check your eyes immediately. Because judging from any side, the grass in the front yard of my house was clearly more fresh than the one in place.

“That's exactly why I envy you.”

Always cared for by your parents and given the best treatment, it can also mean that they have great expectations of you. And you have no choice but to answer that expectation.

“And such a thing is pretty pressing.”

You can have many acquaintances, but someone you can call a friend will always be few. Most people who come forward and say to be his friend are people who just want to use you. Utilizing your abilities. In other words, they're approaching you not because you're you. But because they need the lucrative parts they need.

Being a dependable person may sound good in the ears. But at the same time, it also means that there are many people who will depend on you.

A friend is someone who can help each other. But most people who label themselves as ‘friends of Arisa’ are basically just a burden.

“Then, those loads are not at all light.”

And for what kind of unpleasant things brought by his attractive appearance is unquestionable. In this world there are always pros and cons, and of course when there is someone who likes you there must also hate you wholeheartedly. I could even easily imagine there were brats hiding pencils or erasers from envy.

Now I understand why he didn't take the opportunity that Dian's mom gave him in class. He wants to be normal, and one part of being a normal person is going with the flow.

“Arisa. . If suppose you need ba. .”

“Ah. . . I'm first.”

Before I could finish my sentence, Arisa turned her body and immediately walked in another direction after waving her hand at me. Judging from wherever he deliberately diverted attention so that I did not continue the topic earlier.

“Hm. .”

Just like me who doesn't want to be compared to my two brothers even though I want to be like them. Perhaps, Arisa did not really want to ask for help or be pitied despite giving many complaints.

We parted ways, and once I got to the cafeteria for some reason Brother Hany waved his hand at me with a happy face. Make people who do not know that I am his sister shoot painful gazes that may be question ‘who are you?’ at me.

“Hah. . .”

I sighed and tried to ignore them all. Usually, at a time like this I would complain to Brother Hany not to do anything like that. Things that can draw attention to me.

But after hearing Arisa's story, I felt a bit guilty about having to demand too much from my two brothers. Because without any demands, they have received a lot of pressure. I used to want to be like them, but after finding out that the grass in front of their house just looks green from where I am, she said, I feel like I'm starting to feel like my current lifestyle is actually a lot more fun.

“What's Harsa? why are you looking at me with such a strange look?.”

“Nothing, by the way where is Lily?.”

“Being taking food with sister Anna.”

Then I have no other choice but to wait for him. The one who brought her to school was me, so it didn't feel good that I handed the little girl's business over to my two brothers.

After I sat down in front of Hany's sister, she immediately looked to the right and to the left as if checking things out. This place was crowded, so basically his actions were completely useless considering that everyone could see what he was doing. In other words, he attracted attention.

“What's up?.”

“Where is April?.”

“He didn't leave today, he said there was family business, what's the matter?.”

“I want to apologize to him.”

From the interaction between them to the present. Hany and April's relationship looks like a stepmother and her child. Which may have been caused by April's spartan treatment of thinking that I was too lazy.

Before there was an invisible wall between us brothers, I was very close to Brother Hany. And he's the kind of person who gets angry first when there are kids who mess with me. All of us, including me, are no longer children. But maybe, in her eyes I was still the little sister she needed to protect from something.

“At first I didn't like that little girl, but Anna's sister said she was a good girl and I also saw for myself that now you look happy more that's why I want to apologize and try to be her friend.”

“Be-so yes.”

Actually, I was a little hopeful that Kaka Hany kept his distance from Lisa. Although it's true that little girl brought a lot of positive things in my life that yesterday had more negative elements, but the way she used was quite painful. I mean, I simply can't enjoy the kicks and punches that April often gives me as an extra ‘lesson’.

Anna's sister who has become an ally of Lisa will not comment even if I ask her for help. It's just another sister Hany, if she sees Lisa doing domestic violence to me she'll protest and tell the little girl to stop. If Kak Hany is also an ally of Lisa, who else can I make a shield when the girl suddenly shorted her brain?.

“Kak Hany.”

“What?.”

“I don't mind brother Hany getting better with him, but please stay my ally.”

“Allied?.”

“Yes, allies, because the only person I can count on is Brother Hany.”

Among all the people I know at this school. The only person I could hope to defend me when there was an argument between me and Lisa was just Hany's sister. So I hope, even though their relationship could be better after sister Hany apologized to the little girl. Brother Hany is still the one on my side.

“Beg-so yes. . . hehehe. .”

After that, Brother Hany smiled innocently like a happy child after being given candy. And his smile was so sweet that his brother had become groggy and had to turn my eyes elsewhere.

Luckily, I could see Lily and Anna walking towards me and sister Hany. That way, I don't have to spend time with Hany's sister in silence because I don't know what to say.

As soon as I realized my existence, Anna's sister immediately gave a greeting.

“Harsa? why are you here?.”

“Pick up the boy.”

“You don't need to pick up Brother Harsa, I'm not a child.”

Then, Lily who was beside him immediately shot me with a dirty face that even looked funny and made me want to pinch her cheek.

“My sentence earlier sounded like the words of a little boy who wants to look mature.”

“Humph. . At least I'm old enough to know that looking for brother Harsa is a waste of time.”

So the reason why he was able to go straight with my two brothers once the break bell rang was because he wasn't even trying to find me.

“Lily, I just felt it or did you just say that no one knew me at this school?.”

“Sorry, Brother Harsa, but I can imagine everyone would say ‘hah? Harsa who?’ when I asked you where you were.”

“Geh. .”

His words were really piercing. And what's even more stabbing is that what he's saying is basically reality. In this school, people who know me might even be able to be counted with fingers.

“Do not worry Harsa, your future is still long.”

Brother Hany, you don't have to follow up. Because your follow-up feels even make my wounds that are already sick so more painful.

After everyone gathered, I also ordered food because it was not good just to see people eating. While Lily, eat voraciously without caring about anything. From the way he ate, it seemed like he was really hungry. Which might be because he had to leave in a hurry to block my two brothers even though he ultimately failed.

“Lily, look here.”

Her hasty eating made her a bit of a mess, but for some reason Anna's sister acted like a mother watching over her child who was just learning to eat.

When the food falls on the table, Anna's brother will clean it. When his mouth is blown, Anna's brother will wipe it. And when he has trouble swallowing, then quickly Anna will provide a drink.

“Thank you.”

Lily who was treated spoiled by sister Anna shamelessly took full advantage of the opportunity and acted increasingly spoiled while putting on a happy face.

“Sister Anna, I think you need to stop.”

“Why? I always wanted to have a cute little sister.”

Lily is cute, outside. But he's a sneaky. If you don't believe me, you can ask me. Because I was one of his cunning. Besides, don't you already have a sister?.

Brother Hany, the sweet girl sitting to your right is your little sister right?.

“So which of you would I treat like Lily?.”

Brother Hany immediately turned his face away. Perhaps it was a shame to imagine how the sight of Sister Anna bribing her in public. If I were in his position I wouldn't want to be a spectacle like that either.

It's just that if the subject is Lily, everything will look normal. The sight of a beautiful girl wiping the mouth of a cute little girl could even be a cure for mind fatigue. But if the subject is Anna's sister and Hany's sister. Maybe this place will be a makeshift hospital because the male student here his mind will go everywhere imagining something being censored.

“Nothing right? so don't protest but if. .”

Lt's it?

“If you're , Harsa, want to take April home every day and lend it to me I'll stop.”

In posture, Lisa is not much different from Lily. That's why I understand why Anna's desire to spoil a little girl can be fulfilled. Just please don't talk about Lily like she's a pet or a toy.

“Why are you putting on a face like that Harsa?.”

“What kind of face?.”

“Face that said ‘silence you women do not know yourself, Lisa is mine’ like that.”

“Since when have I been in Anna's mind so such a bastard?.”

“You don't have to worry about Harsa, I'll just borrow her during the night you can still take her to your room.”

“Listen to meu!!!!.”

Anna's sister didn't listen to me and instead laughed after seeing my reaction. And it made me think.

Are my two brothers not as perfect as I thought?. I mean, you heard what Anna just said, didn't you?, The imagination sounds a little too wild. I hope she doesn't hide the erotic novels behind her textbooks like the perverted ninja teachers who love to teach late.

To me their existence was the same as a huge wall blocking my path. To me they are NUMBER ONE HERO, whose legs I can't even touch. Someone who is behind the clouds. It makes me feel like I'm so small, weak and stupid.

But. . .

Right now I see them acting like kids, hearing them talk about stupid things, and feeling that they are not much different from my other classmates. People who are not labeled ‘jenius’ by anyone.

Me included.

In the end, Lily returned to the UKS with me. Anna's sister offered to help Lily take my place. But I refused because the one who brought him here was me. And letting someone else solve the problem you're under sounds unethical.

I wanted to check on Lisa, but it wasn't urgent and I could still delay. The bell rang and I rushed to class.
