37 The hero and the witches (2/2)
The boy in front of them definitely didn’t have zero weaknesses; he just hid them much better than others.
”Oh my, Kotomi, I’m rather heartbroken.”
”I know, Rion, I feel so bad.”
The two of them laughed lightly as they clasped each other’s hands.
”We didn’t even do anything; we just wanted to meet the person that our younger brother admired.”
”Yep, yep, our little bro that we took such good care of for more than ten years went to work for just one day.”
”And then he became someone that yelled and shouted at his older sisters.”
They giggled softly.
”So, that’s why Kotomi really wants to know...”
”Indeed, Rion would love to comprehend...”
”Just what kind of weird person would make our brother so strange!?” The duo exclaimed together.
”Sisters…” Hoshi Amami’s face flushed deep red, and he prepared to say something charged with emotion, but Seiji raised his hand and stopped him.
”As you can see, I’m just a normal person,” Seiji said calmly as he stared at the twins with a strong light radiating from his eyes, ”instead of meeting me, you should reflect on yourselves. Why did your younger brother that you’ve ‘spoiled’ for so many years feel closer to me, someone he met at work and hasn’t even known for three days, compared to the two of you?”
”Oh my, Kotomi, did we do something wrong?”
”Oh my, Rion, we didn’t do anything wrong.”
The beautiful duo both wore confused expressions and blinked together cutely.
”We always gave our brother beautiful clothes to wear~”
”They’re just about always girls’ clothes and some really strange clothes! None of it is anything I want to wear, and… you guys never give me anything that I want to wear!”
”We always cooked delicious food for our brother~”
”You always put strange ingredients into the food and love to watch my reaction and laugh at me!” Hoshi continued denying his sisters’ statements.
”We always took our brother to fun places~”
”Even if you did, you always played tricks on me! Leaving me behind on purpose, taking me to scary places, forcing me to go on rides I was too afraid to go on, or making me participate in abnormal programs…” Hoshi trailed off as he continued to list his sisters’ deeds against him.
”We’ve always been thinking about what’s best for our brother!”
The twin sisters blatantly ignored all of Hoshi’s replies and cackled together in unison.
”Sometimes, I wish that you wouldn’t care so much about me…” Hoshi sighed helplessly.
The giggling twin sisters and the dejected younger brother made for an almost comical sight.
Were they acting in a comedy sketch?
Mika and Chiaki failed to suppress their laughter at the sight.
Mika and Chiaki seemed to believe that they had a close family relationship.
Until they suddenly noticed that Seiji, who had been looking directly at the twins all this time, wasn’t smiling at all.
Rather, his expression turned grave.
Without even blinking, he stared directly at them with a sharp glint in his eyes as if he could see through them.
”You… don’t feel like you’ve done anything wrong?” He suddenly spoke up again in a severe tone.
”Senpai?” Hoshi also noticed that Harano-senpai wasn’t his usual self.
”Of course not! Kotomi hasn’t done anything wrong.”
”Obviously not! Rion wouldn’t make any mistakes.”
The twins continued to giggle. Their eyes sparkled brightly, and their mouths faintly arced upwards alluringly.
”The one in the wrong is…”
”The one who’s become so strange…”
”Our little brother!”
Their tone of voice, their body language, and even their words were cute.
Seiji widened his eyes.
He saw it.
”Sisters Rion and Kotomi…” Hoshi smiled wryly, not knowing what to say, ”you guys…”
”…Are disgusting.” Seiji interrupted.
”Er?”When Hoshi heard Seiji interrupt him, he looked curiously in Seiji’s direction.
The result was that Hoshi saw an expression he’d never seen before.
His Harano-senpai had such a grim, dark expression.
”You two are truly disgusting.”
Cold, direct, harsh, clear, and condescending.
That was the tone of voice that Seiji had towards the giggling twin sisters.
