Here's the Chapter 1 I promised~~~
Chapter 1
12 years have passed….
Day by day have passed, the Minegishi family has really warmed my heart. Little by little, I’ve also opened my heart to them.…………...At a certain Cafe………….
Compared to how busy and noisy the Tokyo is, inside is definitely a different dimension. Every customer could relax and take their time having their tea time, away from the busy world. You could smell a hint of fragrance of the herbs and flowers grown by the owner which helps you relax even more. Soft classical music is played inside the Cafe which helps you forget about your worries. This place is truly a paradise for people who want to be secluded from the busy Tokyo.
At a corner you could see two female high schooler enjoying their teas and cakes, seems like they are discussing about something. One of them have long wavy, slight brown hair with beautiful facial features and one of her famous traits is her cute yaeba which increases her charm, she’s also known as Fashion Queen. Her name is Itano Tomomi a.k.a. Tomochin, the only daughter of the president of Itano Fashion Designing Co., Ltd. The other one has black wavy middle-length hair, two big round eyes, chubby cheeks and her trademark two big front, Gachapin-like teeth. She is our protagonist, Takahashi Minami’s sister, Minegishi Minami a.k.a. Miichan!!!
Itano Tomomi and Minegishi Minami are best friends since Middle School and now they are having their usual tea time together after school before they go home. Seems like Tomochin has a problem and is consulting Miichan about it! Let’s take a look at their conversation, shall we?
“So Miichan, what should I do?? I don’t like my parents setting blind dates for me. It is so bothersome!”
“
Slurp! Hm……… Oh! This rose teacake is so delicious!”
“… Miichan! Stop eating!!! Did you even listened to my problem??!!” complained Tomochin as she put a small piece of rose teacake in her mouth.
“Oh! It’s really delicious!”
“See!! It’s really delicious right??
Although any kind of food is delicious to you since you have no sense of taste at all.. like the natto coffee sandwich.. ew…” says Miichan as her tone of voice starts to drop from the ‘although’.
“Hm?! I heard it Miichan! Who says I have no sense of taste?? The natto….”
“So back to your problem, I do have a suggestion for it” says Miichan who didn’t let Tomochin continue her sentence about the natto sandwich.
“What suggestion??” Tomochin, who totally forgot about her natto sandwich, asks desperately.
“
Slurp!” Miichan drank her tea and push her air glass like a detective and continues, “You just have to get yourself a real boyfriend..”
“But..”
‘But I do not have anyone I like’ was what Tomochin wanted to say and Miichan knew it.
“Wait! Let me finish!” Miichan interrupts
Tomochin nodded
“Or get yourself a fake boyfriend and present him to your parents, I’m sure they will stop setting you to blind dates if they knew you have a boyfriend.”
Tomochin thinks for awhile and nodded in agreement to Miichan’s suggestion.
“But I do not have anyone in mind to pretend to be my boyfriend… Do you have?” asks Tomochin
“Hm……..”
…………..Silence………..
“Ah! What about your brother??” Tomochin suggests
“Eh?! My brother.. You mean Takamina??!!!” Miichan exclaims
“Yea! You always say how perfect he is, although you only show me his pictures before. But he is definitely qualified to be my fake boyfriend!”
“Eh.. but..”
“What? You’re not willing to help a friend in need??” asks Tomochin with her puppy eyes
“Er…. No.. I don’t think it’s a good idea..”
“Why??” asks Tomochin a bit irritated
“Er.. Because… He.. He..”
Tomochin stares at Miichan waiting for her to complete her sentence, while Miichan is.. of course looking for a reason to refuse Tomochin.
Why?? Well, that’s because her ‘brother’ is only a brother for 1/4 of a day meaning he is only a brother for 6-7 hours every day and for the 3/4 of the day ‘he’ is a SISTER!!! And if Takamina pretends to be Tomochin’s fake boyfriend things could easily go wrong. Accidents happen and secret leaks, Tomochin is actually a sharp thinker so who knows when she’ll find out about Takamina’s secret!
Due to Takamina’s request she doesn’t want anyone other than the Minegishi family to know about her gender switching ability, and she meant NO ONE and NO EXCEPTION!!!
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
As you guys know I, Takahashi Minami, am a female who can switch my gender. But my gender switch can only lasts for 6-7 hours a day, if I stay for more than 7 hours I’ll collapse due to consuming too much energy. Yes, this gender switch consumes a lot of energy!! So after gender switch I’ll usually eat a lot!
Miichan always wanted a brother so at home I’m usually a ‘he’, this is the reason why I have to gender switch everyday although I don’t really see the point in doing it. If you want to ask whether I’m a male or female at school the answer would be I already graduated so I don’t attend school~ 
But usually I stay as female.
Right now, I’ve got no job or a NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training). Wait!!! Before judging me as a useless person let me explain my situation first. I don’t know why but it seems that my grade were good so I was able to skip a few grades since I was young and I graduated from AKB University when I was 17 and mom, which is Mrs. Minegishi, didn’t want me to work that fast since I’m still underage and this is the reason why I’m a NEET. But she allows me to take part time job so today I’m going to a Cafe and have a job interview!!! Wish me luck!And now back to Miichan and Tomochin“He.. He.. He’s a GAY!!!” Miichan suddenly shout out which disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of the Cafe.
Noticing what she has just done Miichan immediately bow down 90˚, “Sorry for the disturbance! Please don’t mind us and continue your tea time!” then sat back down.
“Miichan!! That was so embarrassing!!” Tomochin complains
“Gomen, gomen…” Miichan apologizes
“But as I’ve said my oniichan although is perfect but he is a GAY!”
“Hm…… That is a surprise but I think its okay. Since he is a gay I won’t have to worry about him falling in love with me which will be bothersome.”
Wuah… She’s such a narcissist… Although I don’t deny that she’s really beautiful…“But… You sure?? Although it will he will just be your fake boyfriend but you want your first boyfriend to be a gay?!!!”
“Hmm….”
Just when Tomochin is thinking, Miichan saw something shocking outside the Cafe window. Let us look what did she saw, turn the camera towards the window. Hm… I saw a young man with short, shaggy, black hair, handsome facial features, and a well-built body but not too muscular and a pair of eyes filled with confidence. Eh?! Isn’t that.. Isn’t that!!!!
“Oniichan??!!!” Miichan once gain has disturb the peaceful Cafe with her loud voice.
“Ah.. Gomenasai!!!” Miichan hurriedly apologizes
“Miichan… did you just say oniichan??”
“Eh.. No! I didn’t say that I just saw oniichan outside the window just now! Ah!” Miichan quickly covers her mouth with her both hands after she realizes that she just spilled the whole thing.
“Heh~ So you’re oniichan is just outside??” Tomochin asks with a smile full of victory.
Miichan hurriedly rush outside the Cafe after she leave the ‘I’ll be back’ this three words to Tomochin.
“Oniichan!”
“Eh?! Miichan??!!” Takamina was surprised to see Miichan coming out from the Cafe that she he was going to have his part time job interview.
“Why are you here??” Miichan asks
“Ah, that’s because I am having a job interview here.”
“You’re going to work here??!!”
“Yes, but part time only.”
“But, why as a male?? I thought you normally stay as oneechan”
“That’s because this Cafe needed a waiter not a waitress”
“Then why don’t you choose somewhere else??”
“Because I like the atmosphere here, rather than those busy Cafes I prefer one like this; quiet and peaceful. Besides the wage here is rather high too!”
“Oh~ Isn’t this Mr. oniichan??” says Tomochin who has come out from the Cafe
“Eh?? This is..??”
“Hi~ My name is Itano Tomomi. Your sister’s best friend~~ Yoroshiku~~”
“Ah~ I’m Miichan’s oniichan, Takahashi Minami desu~ Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~” Takamina answers back while bowing politely to Tomo, “And thanks for taking care of Miichan, I hope she didn’t cause too much trouble to you”
“No, no, no. Miichan is a good friend~”
“Hey! I don’t cause trouble!!!” Miichan pouts
“Hai, hai” Takamina answers while messing Miichan’s hair
“Mou~ Stop messing my hair!”
“By the way, why is Takahashi san here??”
“Just call me Takamina. I’m here for the job interview for this Cafe. Ah! I better leave now, see ya~” says Takamina while waving her hand and went in the Cafe.
“Miichan~ You’re brother is so handsome and gentleman~~”
“But! As I’ve said he’s a gay, are you…”
“I’m okay with it, since it’s only pretending” says Tomochin smiling
“Er… but..”
“I’m sure you should have any problem with that right?? Miichan, you would lend a hand to your best friend right??”
“…. Sigh* fine…” Miichan gave up…
Victorious smile slowly crawl up Tomochin’s face as she say, “Let’s continue our teatime~”
Then they went back in the Cafe.
………………Inside the Office in the Cafe…………….
“So you’re Takahashi Minami??” asks a middle aged man with beard, he wear a pair of oval-shaped glasses and he has neatly cut hair with a few strands of grey hair. He gives off a sedate aura which shows how many things he has experienced throughout his life. Both his hands are rough and there are some dirt in his fingernails which shows that this man does gardening which is why you can sniff the slight scent of herbs and flowers from him, together with his bright smile he gives off a warm feeling to anyone making people relaxed around him.
“Hai, Takahashi Minami desu. I’m here for the job interview for waiter.”
“Hai, I’m the owner of this Cafe, my name is Okita Junpei. So first of all, can you tell me why you want to work here??”
“That’s because I like the calm atmosphere in this Cafe, it makes me feel relaxed.”
“Hm… Reason accepted. But, are you sure?? The wage is not high here compare to other Cafes or family restaurants.”
“My objective is not money. I just want to work in the environment I wish to work in and I feel that here is perfect for me.” I answer seriously.
“Okay! Hopefully we’ll have a nice time working together” Okita smiles and offers a hand for handshake.
“Hai! I’ll do my best! Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!” I gratefully take his hand for the handshake and give him my best smile.
“Then I’ll be expecting you tomorrow at 13:45 then. Your shift will be 14:00 to 17:30 is that okay with you??”
“Yes sir!” I saluted to Mr. Okita
“Hahaha, what an interesting young man”
“Hahaha….” I smiles embarrassingly
“Well then, see you tomorrow sir” I say then I left
