c358 (1/2)

I’m sorry Kookie, I already had it done when I checked the comments

Once Mamafumi, always Mamafumi, oh and 20 chapters left

Chapter 358: Returning Home

Now then, let me offer a bit of explanation about my house

To put it bluntly, it’s a detached house that lies in a relatively quiet neighborhood near the city

It has a yard, attached, and ht it on a loan

I slide the key into the door, and timidly look around as I enter

“N-Naofu?” (Raphtalia)

It see me –san as she asks me a question out of pure curiosity

“Ah, no, if we ran into my parents here, it would pave the way to a s” (Naofumi)

“Naofumi-sa… n’s Father and Mother?” (Raphtalia)

Raphtalia puts her hand over her heart, and takes a deep breath

“Ah, it seems you don’t have to worry My mom’s out at the moment” (Naofumi)

After confir no one was home, I opened the house door, and invited Raphtalia in

“So this is Naofumi-sa, n’s House?” (Raphtalia)

“Yeah” (Naofumi)

I thought I would bring her here once the world was at peace, but I never thought ould end up here like this

I guess that just goes to show you never knohat’s going to happen in life

“Make sure to take off your shoes before co in” (Naofumi)

“Understood” (Raphtalia)

As told, Raphtalia takes her shoes off before entering the house

Now then, anize the inforo there, but… Here, I noticed so

I’irl into his home, and is ready to show her his room

The stereotypical development that comes with this situation is…

… Isn’t this bad? I have quite a few es displayed there

“Raphtalia, please wait here” (Naofumi)

I stop Raphtalia, and lead her to the living room

“Is so the matter?” (Raphtalia)

… Right now, I’ life choices

I could take Raphtalia to my room noithout care for my hobbies

But the Galge posters, the figures and the various character goods are out in the open

It’s not like I plan to hide the fact that I’m an Otaku at this point I’m actually curious to see what Raphtalia will think of it

But in that world, I continued to proclaim that love was useless and unnecessary

If a guy like that’s rooures, just ould she think?

Is it not right to stop her for now?

Okay! First of all, let’s clean the room!

“Please wait a second” (Naofumi)

“Ah, sure” (Raphtalia)

Raphtalia sat down on the living room sofa as I quickly ran up the steps to my room

And what I found was ic castle

Just howhere?

But that isn’t iht now

Right now, Raphtalia’s going to come here

How about I just openly display this e side of me?

I’ll stop that with all ht!

I stuff all the figures and Galge packages into the closet, and peel off the posters

Oh? I had left my PC on the whole time, and Net Game Item I’ve put on the market has been sold

… I’ll close it for now

Next is—

“I’m home~”

Geh! My brother has returned

That Goddam Riajuu, why must he return at a time like this?

(TL: Riajuu can be translated to so like Realer, the people of the world beyond, 3DPD… etc, but I’ll stick with Riajuu here)

If that little brother of et complicated!

I quickly leave the room, and run down the stairs

“What’s up, Nii-san?”

He had taken off his shoes in the entrance, and put his hand on the living room door when I called out to him

“Wait, wait Why don’t we have a little chat?” (Naofumi)

“Did soe…?”

Is my face really that weird?

“More importantly, Niisan Can’t you make some food?”

“Why?”

“What do you ht I would ask you I mean, I’m busy with my studies”

“Just go to the convenience store I’ll give you some money” (Naofumi)

“Eh… Nii-san’s food is much better than the ones at the store”

This is strange Did my brother really like my home-made food that much?

No, well, I’ve always helped ly to give off a good impression to them

I’ve cooked for him whenever our parents weren’t home

But even so, did he ever say anything so Kiel-like?

Is this déjà vu?

“Didn’t I ask you this ? You totally said yes back then”

Co I made some sort of promise like that

I mean, to me, it’s been more than half a year, so there’s no way I really remember it

“And Nii-san, you know, if you ever have trouble getting a job when ya graduate, you should try cooking school Don’t go off wasting your talent like that, dude”

Mu… this one, I do have a recollection of

I re happens, o cook

Unlikeout

Sooing through puberty

“Anyways, today I have soo buy it at the convenience store” (Naofumi)

“Is it a proain? How about you just stop playing around with those guys, and start taking stuff seriously, man?”

And as he said that, he opened and walked through the living room door

“W-wait” (Naofumi)

“—I ht?”

What…?

My

“Ah, Raphtalia-san I’m home”

“Ah…?”

Raphtalia’s gaze shi+fts between my face, and my brother’s A worried expression comes on her face as she inclines her head to one side

I uy before

I h for the two to have had a chance to meet

“What’s wrong?”

“No, I was just wondering why you knew about Raphtalia” (Naofumi)

I reeted her quite naturally, just now

“What do you mean by why?”

As if he thought I washim, my brother makes a sullen expression

“For argument’s sake, you see” (Naofumi)

“Hah? Nii-san, are you going senile? Are you having premature dementia?”

“Shut up Just tell me” (Naofumi)

“When you’re just Nii-chan, you’re trying to give me orders?”

This is the hierarchy of the Iwatani Household

It may be a bit late, but that’s quite a line he threw out there

Since I went to that world, I get the feeling I’ve been harrassed by a lot of strange people, but it was like that from the start?

But that’s not the problem

“Like I care” (Naofumi)

“Seriously, what’s wrong, Nii-san? Your usual loose eloquence and bullshi+ttery is gone, man”

Who has loose eloquence!?

I always kinda wanted to return, but I shed tears upon receiving this treatment upon my return

Whyme out like this?

“Don’t worry about it, just speak” (Naofumi)

“Have you finally awoken to your role as the eldest son? How out of character of you”

“Why are your eyes sparkling at that? You’ve always just had to add on that one extra sentence, haven’t you” (Naofumi)

“If it’s against Nii-san, then I won’t lose!”

My younger brother suddenly takes up a fighting pose

Despite how he looks, this guy practices Kendo, I think

He also did Karate

Oy, there’s a world out there in need of a Hero

Ah, don’t

I have a personal grudge against reincarnations at the moment

“I didn’t intend to get into fisticuffs with you!” (Naofumi)

“Now, be e anytime!”

What’s with him?

Did he have this sort of personality?

“Just answer the question already!” (Naofumi)

“I-I got it…”

With a bit of sadness, but a lot ins to speak

Was hearound?

“When Nii-san entered college, Raphtalia-san cae student”

“… Foreign exchange student Homestay, is it?” (Naofumi)

“Wasn’t she your friend on the net, Nii-san? You spoke to mom and dad, and she cairlfriend, didn’t she, Nii-san?”

Okay, let’s organize this information

It seee student staying in this house, under the same roof as me?

And she’s nition?
