Chainsaw Man: Mangekyo Sharingan

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Kobeni’s Sister

"Na-Nazuna?! Why are you here? And the boyfriend, b-boyfriend thing, where did you hear that from?!"

The middle school girl in front of her, whose hair fell slightly past her shoulders and whose features looked somewhat similar to Kobeni Higashiyama’s, was none other than Kobeni Higashiyama’s youngest sister, Nazuna Higashiyama.

Nazuna Higashiyama’s sudden appearance, along with her completely out-of-nowhere question about a boyfriend, made Kobeni Higashiyama so flustered that she could barely speak clearly. Quite a bit of sweat had also appeared on her face.

"I heard that a famous Devil Hunter transferred into the high school division, and that he’s been pretty close with you, Kobeni. A few classmates have been saying they wonder if you’re that upperclassman Asaba’s girlfriend."

Seeing Kobeni’s reaction become so obvious, the smile on Nazuna Higashiyama’s face also seemed to grow slightly more meaningful.

"N-no, that’s not it! How could I possibly be Asaba’s girlfriend?!"

Kobeni Higashiyama hurriedly denied it.

The thing she had been worried about had still happened. Judging by what Nazuna had said, quite a few people had probably already mistaken her relationship with Asaba for a romantic one, and the rumor had even spread to the middle school division where Nazuna was.

"Asaba?"

To other people, this might have sounded like an ordinary way for friends to address each other, but Nazuna Higashiyama knew Kobeni very well.

Kobeni basically only ever called other people by their surnames.

If Kobeni could call him Asaba like that, then the feelings she had for that upperclassman Asaba definitely were not ordinary.

Just then, Kotone Asaba happened to return.

When he saw an unfamiliar girl in a middle school uniform standing at the clubroom entrance, he could not help asking, "Who is this?"

Nazuna Higashiyama looked back, and immediately recognized Kotone Asaba. "Hello, upperclassman Asaba. I’m Kobeni’s younger sister, Nazuna Higashiyama. Thank you for always taking care of her."

Nazuna Higashiyama was very polite, and both her voice and the smile on her face were sweet.

"Younger sister?"

Kotone Asaba remembered that Kobeni Higashiyama’s family had nine sisters, including Kobeni herself. He just had not expected to meet one of Kobeni’s younger sisters here.

Judging by her appearance, she was a student in the middle school division, and she did indeed look somewhat similar to Kobeni.

"Then may I come in and look around, upperclassman Asaba?"

When Kobeni Higashiyama heard Nazuna say that, she immediately panicked.

If Nazuna saw the food she had made, Nazuna’s misunderstanding about her and Asaba would only deepen.

Making food for a boy was generally something people saw as something only couples would do.

But she could not say anything either. If she did, it would only make things even more obvious, so all she could do was panic silently.

All of her emotions showed clearly on her face.

Kotone Asaba naturally noticed Kobeni Higashiyama’s expression. Looking at her face, it seemed she did not really want Nazuna Higashiyama to enter the clubroom.

He also did not know what Kobeni’s relationship with her younger sister Nazuna was like. In the original story, Kobeni’s other sisters had never been introduced.

Because of that, he hesitated for a moment and did not answer Nazuna Higashiyama right away.

As it happened, Nazuna Higashiyama also said, "Huh? Is there something tasty inside? It smells really good."

Now Kobeni Higashiyama panicked even more. No matter what, she could no longer hide it.

Kotone Asaba also could not just ignore her, so he still replied, "Then come in and take a look."

"Wow, did you make this yourself, Kobeni?"

Looking at the food on the table, Nazuna Higashiyama asked.

"Y-yes."

Kobeni Higashiyama stood there with a very unnatural expression, as if she were afraid of something.

"But why are there two portions? It seems like there are only you and upperclassman Asaba in the club, right?"

There was quite a bit of meaning in Nazuna Higashiyama’s words.

Kobeni Higashiyama guiltily shifted her gaze away.

"You and upperclassman Asaba sure have a good relationship, Kobeni."

Nazuna Higashiyama sighed with emotion. "Then I won’t keep being a third wheel here. Kobeni, upperclassman Asaba, bye-bye."

Nazuna suddenly saying she was leaving made Kobeni Higashiyama somewhat surprised.

After snapping back to her senses, she immediately chased after her and explained to Kotone Asaba, "I’m going to see Nazuna off."

Kotone Asaba nodded.

Kobeni’s behavior just now had clearly been off, but Nazuna Higashiyama seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Kobeni too, so he did not know why Kobeni had acted that way.

However, he could tell that Nazuna Higashiyama had been openly and subtly emphasizing how close he and Kobeni were the entire time. Could that be the reason?

By now, they had already gotten pretty far away from the Reading Club’s clubroom. On the surface, Kobeni Higashiyama was seeing Nazuna off, but in reality, she had another reason.

"Nazuna, my relationship with Asaba really isn’t what you think..."

Kobeni Higashiyama explained quietly to her younger sister.

What she feared most was Nazuna going home and telling their parents about this. She could not imagine how their parents would react. They would probably be very angry, right?

"I believe you, Kobeni. But even if you really aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, you definitely like upperclassman Asaba, right?"

Nazuna Higashiyama had already seen through everything.

"I... I..."

Kobeni Higashiyama wanted to deny it, but the words would not come out. She also did not dare admit that she liked Asaba at all, but the blush on her face had already exposed what was in her heart.

Nazuna Higashiyama seemed to have already seen through what Kobeni was worried about too. "Don’t worry, Kobeni. I’m on your side. I won’t say anything to Mom and Dad."

"Ah... That’s good."

Kobeni Higashiyama immediately let out a sigh of relief.

She believed what Nazuna said, because Nazuna was the one she had the best relationship with in the whole family.

And she could only believe Nazuna anyway. It was not like she could force her.

"Do your best, Kobeni. If you like him, hurry up and confess. Even in our middle school division, there are already lots of girls who want to write love letters to upperclassman Asaba. If you wait too long, someone else might snatch him away."

Nazuna Higashiyama reminded Kobeni.

Although Kobeni Higashiyama felt very embarrassed inside, she also understood the seriousness of the matter.

If Nazuna had not reminded her, she would have almost overlooked that Asaba was definitely very popular at school.

Although she felt that she was not worthy of Asaba, she also did not want to give up before she had even tried to do anything.

"Thank you, Nazuna. I’ll do my best."

"Then hurry back, Kobeni. You don’t need to see me off any farther."

"Okay."

Then Kobeni Higashiyama returned to the Reading Club’s clubroom.

Nazuna Higashiyama watched Kobeni’s back. Only after a while did she turn and leave.

What she had just said was true, but she had also said it deliberately.

Kobeni had finally found a boy she liked, and he was even an amazing genius Devil Hunter. Of course Nazuna hoped that Kobeni could seize the opportunity.

After all, this was a perfect chance to get ahead of everyone else.
