Sato silently watched this scene.
He admitted that when he first saw Hirasawa Ui, he already had a vague feeling, though there had been an element of guessing.
But… he had guessed right!
This girl, who seemed completely different from Yui in personality, looked almost exactly the same as her once she let her hair down!
The others were also stunned as they looked at the scene, falling into deep shock.
"Amazing! They're exactly the same!"
Ritsu widened her eyes and muttered.
She felt somewhat apologetic. Earlier, when she saw how diligent and capable Hirasawa Ui was, a thought had indeed crossed her mind about whether the two were really sisters.
"As expected of sisters…"
Mio also stared blankly. If they did not speak or move, they were practically identical!
"Another Yui!"
Kotobuki Tsumugi murmured absentmindedly. Could it be that Yui actually knew some legendary shadow clone technique?
"Huh? What's everyone making noise about?"
At that moment, Yui, who had been curled up in the corner of the sofa sleeping soundly, suddenly opened her eyes groggily. She sat up and let out a long yawn.
After rubbing her eyes and clearing her vision, she suddenly froze. Her gaze blankly landed on Hirasawa Ui standing not far away, and confusion rose in her mind. Am I still dreaming?
The two sisters silently stared at each other.
Suddenly, Yui fixed her gaze tightly on Hirasawa Ui, then hopped twice in place with a "hey-ho," stopping to look at her again.
For some reason, Yui suddenly frowned deeply, suspicion appearing in her eyes.
The next moment, she made several funny faces at Hirasawa Ui.
Seeing this, Hirasawa Ui could not help but say, "Onee-chan, what are you doing?"
"Ah!"
Yui immediately showed a surprised expression. Then she let out a long sigh of relief, scratched her head, and laughed foolishly. "So it's Ui. I thought someone had put a mirror there."
"..."
Everyone looked at Yui with strange expressions.
Is this girl really that dumb, or is she pretending? She could not even recognize her own sister?
"Ui, why did you let your hair down?"
Yui asked curiously.
"Um, a senpai wanted to see…"
Hirasawa Ui answered reflexively.
But then she remembered what had just happened. She secretly glanced at Sato before quickly lowering her head again, her face turning red.
Th-that was so embarrassing just now!
"Senpai?"
Yui looked around curiously, then followed Hirasawa Ui's gaze and fixed her eyes on Sato.
When it came to her sister, her perception seemed to improve significantly.
Hmm?!
Yui's gaze suddenly became alert. She quickly jumped up, tightly hugged Hirasawa Ui, and turned to stare at Sato.
"You're trying to steal my little sister?!"
Sato: "..."
Everyone: "..."
How did you even come to that conclusion?!
"Ahem, Yui!"
Ritsu suddenly stepped forward, her expression grave as she looked at Yui.
Seeing this, Sato suddenly had a very bad feeling. His eyes locked onto Ritsu.
What kind of trouble is this girl about to stir up now?
"What is it?"
Yui turned her head and asked curiously.
"Well actually…"
"While you were sleeping just now, Sato already confessed to your sister!"
Ritsu lowered her head and spoke in a heavy tone. At the same time, she placed a hand on Yui's shoulder and sighed, as if it were already beyond saving, like she was telling her to accept her loss.
But no matter how Sato looked at it, it felt like she was barely holding back a grin.
"A-a confession?!"
Yui stumbled back a few steps, then looked at her sister in disbelief.
"S-senpai!"
Hirasawa Ui looked at Ritsu with a flushed face, her eyes even starting to well up with tears.
Hadn't this already been proven to be a misunderstanding?!
"Ui, did you accept?"
Yui asked in a trembling voice. As she spoke, her lips visibly drooped, and she looked at Hirasawa Ui with teary eyes.
"D-did you abandon me?"
"I, I didn't abandon you, Onee-chan!"
Hirasawa Ui panicked and quickly explained, tightly holding Yui's soft hands.
Soon, she realized something and cried out, "Wait! I didn't accept in the first place!"
"You rejected Sato?"
"N-no…"
"You didn't reject him?!"
"Sato-senpai didn't confess to me at all! It was just senpai joking around!"
Hirasawa Ui was so anxious she was on the verge of tears.
Fortunately, she managed to explain everything in the end. The moment her words fell, the room suddenly sank into an eerie silence.
Yui froze for a moment, as if trying to sort through this complicated situation with her single-threaded brain.
Soon, she scratched her head and smiled foolishly. "So it was a misunderstanding!"
Chop!
Mio, with a dark expression, gave Ritsu a chop on the head and glared at her. "Look at the mess you caused!"
Ritsu snapped out of her stunned state, holding her head as she pouted. "How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this? But these two…"
Her gaze swept over the two nearly identical girls, her eyes sparkling.
So one is a sis-con and the other is a sis-con too…
"Apologize right now!"
Seeing that Ritsu was still trying to argue, Mio pressed down on her head and forced her to apologize to the Hirasawa sisters.
"I'm sorry!"
Whether out of pressure from Mio or because she felt she had gone too far this time, Ritsu bowed deeply and apologized sincerely.
"S-senpai… it's okay, I was just…"
Seeing Ritsu apologize to her, Hirasawa Ui quickly helped her up, speaking somewhat nervously.
"Ui, you don't need to say more. This was clearly that person's fault."
Sato glanced at Ritsu and said calmly.
If it had not been for that one sentence she said earlier, none of this trouble would have happened.
