After school the next day Masashi+ changed his school uniform to casual clothes at home, then took a taxi to Naoko-sensei's house
A girl he hadn't seen before opened the door ”Excusefor?”
Wrong address? He checked the house nu for Naoko-sensei”
”Sister? Who are you?”
So this is her younger sister ”My name is Hirota Masashi+, a student of your sister”
”Oh, then co a bath”
A white puppy ran over and stared at him with caution
The girl picked it up and said ”Shasha, greet nii-san” The puppy actually barked
Masashi+ s
”Ai-chan, was someone on the door?” Naoko-sensei ca
”Hi, Naoko-sensei”
”You're here Can you wait a bit? I will go get changed” She was pleasantly surprised to see Masashi+
”Take your time”
She returned to a room
”Your name's Hirota Masashi+? Are you close with my sister?”
”Probably, I am her student after all”
”But she had never brought any boys home You're the first one”
”Oh, is that so” Masashi+ didn’t kno to reply
Ai studied him seriously ”But you don't look handsome, and so short Nee-san wouldn't like people like you I probably thought too much”
Masashi+ felt a headache Why do kids today know so e
”Hey, do you play gaht a new one today Coed him over to the TV and threw him a controller
Masashi+ didn't knohether to laugh or cry and started playing with her
The previous Hirota Masashi+ was a gah he was dead, the memory was still there It was rare for Ai to find someone that could play so well
As they were engrossed in the gao”
He looked at her Lighther curves, and a pair of stockings on her long legs made them look delicious
Ai saved the game and yelled ”Nee-san, you're pretty”
Naoko glanced at Masashi+ and blushed a bit when she noticed he was looking with a sense of appreciation
”Nee-san, where are you going?”
”Have you forgotten? I told you yesterday that I aht That's Masashi+ I have called sushi+ for you It should be here in a bit”
”I don’t want sushi+ I want to go with you”
”No”
”Why not?”
”Because… just no”
”I want to go” Ai raised her hands in protest
”Can you please listen?”
”I want to go”
Naoko looked at Masashi+ in defeat He spread his hands and said ”I don't mind”
The three of them came to a fancy restaurant The two beauties attracted everyone's eyeballs and the average looking Masashi+ was ignored
”I don’t like these people, keep staring over” Ai was unhappy being stared at
”You should be happy They won't even bother to take a look at people like me” Masashi+ said lazily
”That's true” Her expression flipped instantly
”Masashi+, I heard you have a sister, right?” Naoko asked
”Yes Hirota Kazurades are much better than mine”
”You probably feel lonely because your parents are not home often”
Masashi+ paused He never thought of this problem It didn'tall these years But what about Kazumi? She was just a teen Furthermore, she probably didn’t have many friends to talk to with that quiet personality of hers Mom was also alone these years, maybe more lonely than them I should think of a way to reunite the family
Naoko glanced at Masashi+ when he was thinking This mature expression attracted her
”Hey, why aren't you two talking?”
”Oh, right Ai, what do you want to eat?” Naoko was shocked
”Didn’t you just ordered?”
”Ah, sorry I forgot”
”Sis, you are weird today”
The waiter brought the dishes and Ai i
”Masashi+, would you like a glass of wine? The wine here are quite famous”
Masashi+ smiled at her ”Sensei, are you sure?”
She reh school student How could she had suggested her student to drink alcohol?
Masashi+ said to the waiter ”Please bring us two glasses of your house wine”
”I also want one” Ai said
”Not for children”
”What are you talking about? I ary
”What? Aren't you a middle schooler?” Masashi+ acted shocked
”You… are terrible” Ai gritted her teeth
Naoko didn’t say anything She looked at Masashi+ with co hi face htened
”Ai, it's you” A boy walked over as they were eating
”Oh, it's Yousuke You're here also” Ai said with surprise
”Yeah, what a coincidence I thought I got the wrong person When did you come here?” He looked quite excited
”Not for long”
”I came here with my cousin These two are?” He looked at Naoko and Masashi+
”She's my sister and this is her student, a not likeable person” Ai was still holding a grudge
”Ai, that's impolite of you Hi, Yousuke, I am Ai's sister, Hasebe Naoko He's Hirota Masashi+,care of Ai” Naoko said with a smile
”That's too polite of you” Yousuke blushed when he looked at Naoko
”Yousuke, care to introduce these two beautiful ladies?” A slender and rather handsome man walked over
”This is Hasabe Ai, my classmate This is her sister, Naoko-san And this is Naoko-san's student Hirota Ma Ma…”
”Hirota Masashi+” Masashi+ said with a smile
”Right, hirota Masashi+” Yousuke looked at hiratefully
”hello, I am Yousuke's cousin, Hinatsu Junichiro Glad to meet you” He said with politeness but his eyes were fixed on Naoko
He had been paying attention to this woinally wanted to find a chance to ht that the Gods were on his side
”Hi, Hinatsu-san” Naoko said
”Please call me Junichiro That's what my friends call me” He smiled He was rather confident with his charm
However, Naoko didn't have any reaction
”Would you be interested to colad”
”Hinatsu-san, my student is still here, so I won't bother you”
”Is that so? Then I hope to see you again”
After they left, Ai said ”Nee-san, why didn’t you go over? Yousuke's cousin looks pretty good And he seeo if I were you”
”I won't stop you fro over You classmate is there also”
”But he's inviting you”
”Ai-chan, you can't just look at the surface of a person”
”You're preaching again” Ai buried herself in food
”Masashi+, would you like anything else? Don't hold back”
Masashi+ shook his head ”No, I am almost full”
Naoko drove Masashi+ back to his house then returned home with Ai
