Chapter Sixteen Brothers and Sisters
There was silence on the dinner table for a long time, and the girl suddenly asked nonchalantly.
Nakano Mayu, who was eating a big meal, didn't pay attention and said casually...
After he finished speaking, he felt that something was not quite right in the atmosphere.
The originally expressionless middle school girl was now exuding bursts of cold air all over her body like ten thousand years of ice beneath the Antarctic.
A pair of big black and bright almond eyes were slightly narrowed, as if trying to block the divine light in them.
Nakano Mayu felt goosebumps rising on his exposed arms and neck, based on his intuition that he had practiced swordsmanship for many years.
It was as if some ferocious predator was secretly observing me, waiting for the moment when I showed my weakness to suddenly attack...
"Nanako?"
The strange feeling made him tremble slightly while he was immersed in his rice, and he immediately raised his head and looked in front of him.
"Sure enough, is it that kind of wealthy European woman who seduced Nissan? Haha, this kind of woman would use a knife on her seqinoupai..."
Because the light in the dining room was illuminated from above, the girl's originally fair cheeks were covered in shadows with her head slightly lowered, and she was still muttering something in a low voice.
"Nanako, what's wrong with you?!"
Nakano Mayu's starry eyes widened. This was the first time he saw his idiot sister, who smiles all day long and often acts cute, showing such an indifferent expression.
"Did you get bullied at school?" he asked with worry on his face.
Hearing her brother's worried questions, Nanako also reacted, raised her little face, showed a sweet smile and said: "Idiot Nini, what nonsense are you talking about? Who in the middle school can bully me...
.”
The girl arched her slender arms, revealing her biceps the size of a small mouse.
Right...
Not only is my younger sister born with extraordinary strength, but her swordsmanship is also top-notch among her peers. In addition, she is pretty, has good grades, and has a good personality. She is very popular in school.
No matter how you look at it, they belong to a small part of the top of the food chain on the Amano Junior High School campus...
Worrying that your sister will be bullied is even more senseless than being bullied yourself...
"I'm fine, Nini, let's eat quickly..."
Nanako's smile is still as sweet and cute as ever, but Nakano Mayu always feels a little frightened...
"Oh, then you should eat quickly, you have to go to class tomorrow..."
"OK..."
...
Hachiyanagi Aiho had just finished her dinner and was stroking her round belly, looking at her sister who was constantly sending lines on her mobile phone with a troubled expression.
She knew that her sister must be communicating with her 'clients' on her mobile phone.
As the all-around businessman of Amano High School, my sister's reputation has long spread to the middle school.
When she first learned that her sister was selling various information or 'banned' items on campus, she was still embarrassed to tell others that she was her biological sister.
But later I learned that the reason why my sister worked so hard to make money was to support the family.
After all, there is no father figure in their family. All living expenses, including those for my sister and myself, as well as the third child’s tuition, pocket money, etc., are all earned by the frail mother running the izakaya every day.
In the past, many times when I came back from school, I would go to my store to help.
Later, my mother hired some part-time jobs so that she and the others could have some free time, so that they would not have to work in the store besides school. Only then could the sisters have free time to do the things they like.
And it was at that time that I joined the kendo club and met Nakano-senpai...
Therefore, Yasanagi Aiho is not only not disgusted by the fact that her sister is also working hard to make money while studying in school, she is also very heartwarming.
After all, my sister also cares about the lives of herself and others, as well as her mother's increasingly weak body...
However, my sister seems to be a little abnormal today. When she was eating just now, she would be in a daze from time to time. There were several times when she even ate "air" and there was no response.
Sitting on the sofa now, Aisu just peeked at her sister who would jump to the conversation interface called 'Gluttonous Pig' with the same ID from time to time after she finished sending a line to the client, and then looked at the blank conversation interface.
Clenching his teeth...
Although Aiho Yatsuyanagi still carries the expectations and trust of Minister Nakano, she really has no way to ask her sister about Minister Nakano’s subtle questions when her sister is so abnormal...
And she is still a little worried about her eldest sister. After all, this is the first time she has seen her eldest sister being so distracted that she 'eats air'...
"Eldest sister and second sister...you can take a bath now..."
Liu Mingsui, the eldest daughter of the Hachiyanagi family, held a towel in her hand and shouted to the two people in the living room while wiping her wet short hair.
"Ai Sui, you go take a shower first, I have something else to do..."
Riho Hachiyanagi's eyes were still staring at the phone screen, and she subconsciously said to her sister beside her.
If it were normal, Aiho would have jumped towards the bathroom like a cheerful deer.
But today she recalled the trusting and hopeful gaze of her senior Nanako.
She really didn't want to see the disappointment or other negative emotions in her senior sister's eyes after she failed to fulfill her request.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and gathered her courage a little:
"Hey... eldest sister..."
"Um?"
Riho Hachiyanagi, who had already called up the calculator on her mobile phone, was concentrating on calculating a long series of numbers and responded without looking back.
"Today, do you want to take a shower together after a long time?"
The younger sister sent a relatively rare invitation to the older sister.
Although they are sisters, Aiho has had some physiological changes since she entered middle school and doesn't like taking a bath with her sister, an Oppa star...
Although Riho Hachiyanagi likes to take a bath with her second sister, and has comforted her several times since then, after all, given their age, it is normal for there to be some 'slight' differences between the two sisters...
But my sister seems to be extra sensitive in this regard.
So since Ai Sui entered middle school, the two of them have never taken a shower together.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing this invitation, Riho Hachiyanagi, wearing the old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses that she only wore at home and almost burying her face in the screen of her mobile phone, gave a confused response.
"No...forget it if you don't want to, I'll wash it myself..."
"No, I'm just a little surprised..."
Hachiyanagi Riho then put down her phone, looked at her second sister with big black and white eyes, and said with a smile: "How could I refuse Aiho's request..."
If it was normal, she might have gone upstairs without saying a word.
But today, for the sake of the minister she admired, she decided to 'endure'...
"Idiot sister! If you want to wash it, hurry up. Keeping the bathtub burning for a long time consumes a lot of electricity! I just have something... I want to ask my sister for help..."
"Hehe, since Aiho-chan knows that the bathtub consumes electricity, wouldn't it be more energy-saving if we wash them together in the future?" Riho Yayanagi said as she followed her sister with a smile.
