383 My adopted sister took my ero books! What should I do? (1/2)

That large sack of adult doujinshi!

Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.

'Did I remember things wrong? Did I already put those books away?'

No… he hadn't.

Seiji carefully combed through his memory and confirmed that he had indeed casually put the sack of books on his computer desk without putting the books away.

It was a large sack of adult doujinshi and it had definitely been there. But now, it was missing.

Reo still wasn't home yet.

There was only one person that could have possibly taken this sack of books.

”Shika-chan…”

Seiji's cheeks twitched.

'My adopted sister saw and took my entire sack of ero books! What should I do? I could really use some advice here!'

He even impulsively wanted to make a topic on an internet forum and ask for help regarding this.

No, no… he was making a mountain out of a molehill. Wasn't Shika just borrowing his stuff? All he had to do was ask.

Although the things in question were rather awkward, it didn't matter so much even if she saw them. All he had to do was go knock on his adopted younger sister's door and ask about where his books were. Simple as that.

But… for Shika to have taken those books, did she help put them away, or…

If she only put them away, that wasn't a big deal, but if she took them back to her own room to look at them…

No, no! How could Shika possibly do that? That didn't seem likely.

But… wasn't there such a possibility?

Seiji was internally conflicted.

Hypothetically speaking, if Shika took those ero books and was looking at them in her room, if he went over there just like that to ask about the whereabouts of his books, he would definitely be stepping on a landmine!

That would be quite an awkward situation.

Seiji didn't know what expression he would have if he found out that his adopted younger sister was secretly looking at the adult doujinshi that he had purchased.

The reverse was also true. He figured that Shika wouldn't know how to face him.

After thinking about it, Seiji decided to search around the apartment first. If he found his sack of books around anywhere, then there wouldn't be any problems at all.

And so, he began looking.

In the study… nothing.

In his own room… nothing either.

In the living room… still nothing.

The kitchen… again, nothing.

After he looked for his books everywhere they could be, he finally had to face reality.

Shika had definitely taken the books back to her room!

Looking towards his adopted sister's room, Seiji couldn't help but imagine the black-haired beauty holding on to an adult doujinshi with completely red face and a seductive look in her eyes.

…It seemed so ero to him.

Just imagining it with that image of Shika already seemed so ero!

The only thing he could do was to pretend not to know anything, right?

Knocking on her door and asking now was no good, and asking her later about it would be no good as well. The best choice was not to ask! He would have to pretend like he hadn't noticed her borrowing his books and wait for her to secretly return them after she was done with them.

Seiji felt like it was the only method by which he could avoid awkwardness.

No… he should rephrase that. It was a method to avoid as much awkwardness as possible. Awkwardness was impossible to avoid here as he was already feeling awkward.

'Alright, let's just go with this! I won't mention this at all, and I'll pretend that nothing happened!' Seiji made his decision.

Shika Kagura opened her eyes.

'Uh-oh, I fell asleep!'

She started panicking when she looked at the time after waking up.

By this time, it was likely that her Brother Seiji would have woken up already, but she hadn't put the ero books back where they were yet!

Originally, she had only intended to look at them for a while before putting them back, but… she was unable to stop herself.

She finished going through all of the ero books!
