In the evening of the day, Miyamoto-sensei came to my home, I was informed that the principal’s office would announce the disciplinary measures, and in the morning of the third day after staying at home, I came to school accompanied by my mother.

 

Since the students were just in class at this time and were in their classrooms, except for those in physical education class in the school yard, we were able to reach the staff room without seeing anyone they knew.

 

「Tōyama-kun, let’s go to the principal’s office then.」

 

She said that the punishment would be handed down by the principal himself in the principal’s office. Miyamoto-sensei took me in the principal’s office.

I was ready to accept any punishment, but I was nervous in front of the principal’s office door to hand down a punishment that could affect my future.

 

「Let’s go in then.」

 

What kind of punishment will be handed down to me?

 

 

The disciplinary handing down did not take very long and was over easily.

 

As it turned out, the punishment was a week of house arrest.

 

The difference between suspension or expulsion and house arrest is that they involve legal effects or not, he said. To elaborate further, it seems that suspension and expulsion must be noted in the instructional record, but suspension does not need to be noted.

 

In other words, suspension is the lightest punishment, which is treated as an absence from school with the school’s own set of disciplinary measures.

 

Although violent behavior is not an acceptable reason for suspension, the court judged that suspension was appropriate because the other party was at fault and was not injured, there were extenuating circumstances considering the process and circumstances leading up to the incident, and the individual himself was remorseful.

 

I patted my chest in relief. If I had been suspended or expelled from school, it would have made my parents sad.

 

I deeply regretted and accepted the punishment.

 

Incidentally, it seems that Kurashima and Taniguchi were also suspended for a week, as I was.

 

The culprit of paper defaming Uehara-san’s clogs is not known, and the group chat slandering her has not been identified as to who it is. Kurashima and Taniguchi, who saw the false messages in the group chat, believed the lies and uttered slanderous words to Uehara-san.

 

Naturally, they were at fault for the verbal abuse they hurled at Uehara-san, but they explained that since they had expressed remorse, it was decided that house arrest was appropriate.

 

The more I listened to him, the more I thought the drop-off point would be something like this. Emotionally, I wanted to identify those who spread the lies and make sure they were punished accordingly.

 

——I couldn’t do anything about it.

 

I felt helpless, and was made to realize that I was just an average high school student after all.

 

 

◇ ◇ ◇

 

While under house arrest, I did assignments and writes reflections. Sensei visits her student regularly to check my assignment and reflective writing, and then leaves.

 

Naturally, going out is forbidden.

However, as I like to read, I could make good use of my time by reading, so I was never bored.

 

If I had a complaint, it would be that I can’t see Takai.

During the period of my house detention, I was not allowed to use my phone. Although it has not been confiscated, it’s in the custody of my parents and I was unable to contact anyone.

 

Well, the only time I messaged on my phone is when I promise to have sex with Takai, so I don’t feel inconvenienced otherwise.

 

This is a house arrest meant to encourage reflection, I so won’t be extravagant. It’s only for a week, let’s work on my assignments and reflections.

 

◇ ◇ ◇

 

One week after the decision was made, the suspension was lifted and this student will return to school today.

 

I could read as many books as I wanted during the week, and it wasn’t bad, not boring. Maybe I have the qualities of a hikikomori. I wouldn’t be happy if I did.

 

After breakfast, I changed into my uniform, finished getting ready to go out, and went downstairs to find my sister waiting for me in her sailor suit.

 

「Onii-chan, come to school with me today!」

 

My sister Natsuki clungs to my arms.

During the period of my house arrest, she said she was happy that her Onii-chan was there every day from morning to night. As usual, she was a brazen younger sister who could never get away from her brother.

 

「Then, we’ll go together today.」

 

I had stopped Natsuki from joining together to keep her out of trouble, but as expected, she should be fine now.

 

「Hurray! Let’s go!」

 

I basked in the sunlight for the first time in a week.

The soft light was dazzling and warm, and I felt the vitality returning to my body and mind. I wondering if humans were photosynthesizing, too.

 

Hmm~ Hmm~

 

Natsuki was in a good mood, humming a tune and happy to be in arms with me.

 

「Natsuki is in a good mood, huh?」

 

「You haven’t been in school for almost two weeks. Of course I’m happy.」

 

「We see each other every day at home.」

 

「I don’t know what’s going with that~」

 

That’s right… I kind of didn’t get it. But was it okay for my sister to be going to school with her brother in such fashion. If an adolescent girl, even if it is her brother, were to walk arm in arm with a man, I think people who don’t know anything about it would misunderstand.

 

「Hey, Natsuki.」

 

「What is it~ Onii-chan?」

 

「Why don’t you stop crossing my arms, when we walk outside? I don’t think normal siblings cross their arms.」

 

「Ehh— I don’t think so. Yoko-chan, who is in my class, said that it was normal for them to kiss.」

 

Who is that Yoko-chan? And them kissing is a bit…

 

「I think that Yoko-chan in your class are probably wrong.」

 

「Why?」

 

「I don’t think siblings usually kiss.」

 

「I don’t see why not…」

 

It seems I spoiled Natsuki too much today because it has been a while since we went to school together.

 

It’s getting close to the school gate and this is too conspicuous. I’m going to pull my sister away from me with a fierce heart.

 

「Ah, wait, Onii-chan, stop!」

 

I tried to break free of her arms, but Natsuki resisted and we ended up at the school gate.

 

「Tōyama, I’m tired of waiting you know~」

 

Out of the corner of my eyes, I caught a female student running and calling to me from near the school gate. The brown-haired gyaru with loosely permed hair ran up to me, with her ample breast swaying.

 

「Tōyama, morning. Long time no see.」

 

Saying this, Uehara-san clung to the arm on the other side of Natsuki’s crossed arms.

With my sister and Uehara-san’s arm in arm, I was in the situation of a protagonist in a romantic comedy with two beautiful girls as his attendants.

 

Has this place turned into a romcom school while I’ve been absent for a week?

 

「Ahh, hey! You there, boob alien! What are you doing?」

 

「Natsuki-chan, morning to you. It’s almost time to go to the school gate, so you can go to the middle school.」

 

Saying this, Uehara-san pulls arms around her. The feeling of Uehara-san’s large breasts pressed against me felt good.

 

「Ah, hey, what are you doing pushing your boobies in his face? I’m so careless.」

 

I’m starting to feel uncomfortable because I’m standing out so much. I don’t want to be conspicuous at the beginning of my first day at school in a long time.

 

「Natsuki and Uehara-san left because they started getting attention.」

 

I removed my arm and succeeded in escaping from them.

 

「Hey, Natsuki should greet Uehara-san properly.」

 

「Okay, good morning to you, Uehara-san.」

 

Nice, you’ve said greetings properly.

 

「Well then, Uehara-san and I will be on our way.」

 

Since Natsuki was not going to head for the middle school easily at this point, I left my sister behind and headed for the highschool at a quick pace.

 

「My brother’s too naughty~」

 

My little sister, where did you hear that word? Was it from that Yoko-chan?

 

「Ahh, Tōyama wait a second for me~」

 

I left Uehara-san behind and headed for the school building to get away from the two of them.

 

「Ugh, why are you leaving me there?」

 

Uehara-san complained as soon as she caught up with me.

 

「Because it’s been a while since I’ve been to school, and I don’t want to stand out.」

 

「I’m sorry I was a little bit naughty. It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I was kind of happy to see you.」

 

Uehara-san shrugged apologetically.

 

「Don’t be so down. I’m glad to see your face for the first time in a while, too.」

 

「Really!? I’m glad~」

 

Uehara-san’s face, which had been shrugging, brightened up.

 

「I’m glad to see you’re doing well, Uehara-san.」

 

She doesn’t seem to be depressed despite what she went through.

 

「Un… because Tōyama protected me… so I was glad that you were angry for me at that time.」

 

Uehara-san looks me up and down with moist eyes.

  

 

「I’m sorry I scared you that time.」

 

The violent words I said and the reckless actions I took. The sight must have looked terrifying to Uehara-san.

 

「No, not at all… Tōyama, you were manly and cool…」

 

Uehara-san gives me a heated stare.

My face is red from earlier and Uehara-san is acting strangely.

 

「We should hurry to the classroom. We’re going to be late.」

 

「Ahn, Tōyama, wait for me.」

 

I had been goofing around with Natsuki, and if I didn’t get going, I would be late. I headed to the classroom again, leaving Uehara-san behind.
