Memorizing English Vocabulary with MEKAKUSHIDAN (High School Version) short story: Side Story 1

“Ahhh~…. it’s soo hot….”

Even trying to fan yourself with your hands doesn’t make enough wind to help.

I heard a rumor that a new limited edition Benny Salmon-chan strap would be released this summer. But it seems that it immediately sold out within 15 minutes of release, and I completely missed out…. This is the greatest mistake of my life.

As I’m wandering around with all this free time on my hands, I hear a familiar voice coming from the direction of the park.

“Ahhhhhhhhh, this is just unreasonable, unreasonable, unreasonable…. It’s so hot! Why am I even doing this…. ‘fair’ ‘kouseina’, ‘fair’ ‘kouseina’*....” “Keep fighting, Master!”

*He’s repeating the English word “fair” and the Japanese translation “kouseina”

There’s no doubt about it. That’s gotta be my brother and Ene-chan.

“Big bro, what are you doing….? You seem awfully suspicious….”

“Oh geez…. You --what are you doing out in broad daylight like this….?”

Ignoring my sweaty brother’s question, I look at the smartphone in his hand. There, as usual, is Ene-chan and…. Huh, English vocabulary….?

“Hi little sis! Master is in the middle of reviewing high school English vocabulary words~!”

“Ugh…. If I studied with Momo I’d never get to use my PC again in my entire life! Hurry up and give me the next word!!”

I watched as my brother yelled in a frantic manner, spit flying from his mouth.

Oh, I see. Ene-chan is messing with him again.

“Big bro, I don’t know what’s going on, but you’re okay, right?”

“I’m definitely not okay!! And well…. You should stop wandering aimlessly and go home.”

That said, my brother turned around to change direction, continuing to mutter as he left the park.

“....It’s another peaceful day today.”

I wonder if Ene-chan would help teach me too.
