531 Have you been doing well recently? (1/2)

Hoshi was the next to arrive after Hisashi.

Hisashi's eyes instantly lit up at seeing the beautiful boy who appeared like a girl walk into the room.

”Perfect!” Hisashi gave two big thumbs up.

”Senpai… er?” Hoshi had been about to greet Seiji when he was interrupted.

”You must be the Fourth Knight, a cute boy just like in the stories I've heard. This is truly amazing! Please allow this humble one to take a few pictures…” Hisashi took out his cell phone and was about to approach Hoshi.

*Slap!*

Kaede decisively took out a paper fan and slapped her brother in the face with it.

”Please don't mind this idiot here, Amami-san.” Kaede smiled. ”I shall take responsibility for suppressing him. No need to worry about any danger.”

What the hell was with her using the word ”suppression”? And, where on earth did she bring out that paper fan from? Seiji's eyes twitched.

”Ow… My dear younger sister, what was that for? I merely wanted to make friends with the Knight of Light…”

”Your existence is a threat to Amami-san. You need to be quarantined.”

”Quarantined? Is this humble one a virus!?”

”That's right, a virus by the name of pervert.”

”That's terrible!”

The Juumonji siblings became rather rowdy.

Hoshi didn't know how to react to this scene and merely stared blankly at Seiji.

”This is Hisashi Juumonji, Juumonji-sensei's older brother, whose internet username is Milk Cream Sweet Sweet Pig,” Seiji introduced Hisashi to Hoshi. ”I've mentioned him before to your sisters. And as you can see, he's such a person.”

”…He's someone who seems just like how he acts on the internet.” Hoshi took a glance at Hisashi.

”I'm so pleased to meet you, Knight of Light! Please allow us to deepen our understanding of each other and become good friends!” Hisashi spoke in a passionate tone and attempted once more to get closer to Hoshi. And, once again, his younger sister Kaede smacked him with the paper fan.

”This is how they show their sibling love for each other… I think. So, don't mind them.” Seiji gave Hisashi a sidelong glance.

”Oh… Alright.” Hoshi nodded.

Hoshi was already acquainted with everyone present except for Hisashi. There was no need for further introductions.

Hoshi paid special attention to Shika who was sitting next to Seiji. Hoshi worked up his courage to speak to Shika after he sat down as well.

”Kagura-san… Have you been doing well recently?”

”Very well,” Shika replied.

”I see… you must be having lots of fun living together with Senpai.”

”Yeah.”

Hoshi looked at Shika and inwardly exclaimed as he recalled the way she had been in the past.

Although Shika's expression seemed just as cold and distant as before, the aura coming from her, or perhaps the feeling that she gave others, was obviously different.

'This is all because of Senpai,' Hoshi thought to himself.

'Just like how Senpai saved me, she was saved as well. She now has warmth and happiness.

'This is truly wonderful, Kagura-san.'

Hoshi was sincerely happy for Shika's sake. He showed this with a smile.

”Amami-senpai…” Shika looked at Hoshi as something flashed in her eyes. ”Thank you so much… for that time.”

She lowered her head and expressed her sincere gratitude to him right after she said that.

Hoshi was startled by this, but instantly realized why she was thanking him. His smile grew even greater in brilliance.

”No need for thanks, Kagura-san.”

'I didn't do anything at all apart from telling you his name.'

Hoshi looked towards Seiji.

Seiji looked towards his adopted younger sister and his junior and smiled at both of them.
