Chapter 316: By The Time They Had Forgotten (2/2)

“Big Sister, you seem to be acquainted with Bro, but from when?”

“Enya-kun.”

“W-What’s up?”

Maho was staring straight at him, and Enya put his hands on his knees, sitting up straight. This little exchange between them clearly showed their status and relationship.

“I will not mention anything that has transpired in this room. However, you must also not tell anyone about this. Do you understand me?”

“Y-Yes!”

Enya said panickedly. After that, he shrunk back until she left.

“Who in the heck are you, Bro?”

After Maho had left, Enya asked Taiyou with a bit more composure.

“Who am I? I’m just a normal high schooler.”

“No way, man. What kind of normal high schooler brings a girl into an office of yakuza?”

“Aye, he has a point.”

Kohaku said, and Taiyou grimaced. True, by that point, you really couldn’t say that he was a normal high schooler. However, neither did Taiyou think that he had done anything to be asked who the heck he was.

“No, I really am just a regular high schooler. Maybe a bit abnormal in that I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my wives, but everything else is relatively normal.”

“And how did you come into contact with Big Sis?”

“I was invited by one of my wives—-not Kohaku-san, to a party a bit ago.”

“…And what was their name?”

“A girl by the name of Juunishima Youran.”

“…”

At that very moment, sweat began pouring out of Enya’s forehead. It was enough to make Taiyou himself feel painful.

“W-What’s the matter?”

“Please come sooner next time, Big Sis.”

“Huh?”

“That person mentioned it earlier, so I was wondering who they were talking about, but I didn’t think it was someone that freakin’ outstanding. I definitely can’t say I had drinks with you now. If this leaks out then I’ll be the one in trouble.”

“Is that so?”

“Geez, I never knew you were that high-up, Bro.”

Enya gulped down the rest of his sake.

“Needs to be 73…no, more like 2 and 8.”

Enya mumbled.

Now, that had a totally different meaning from before. Practically the opposite. He seemed to be fretting over that, but Taiyou hadn’t had the slightest intention of making him feel that way. He was fine with exchanging sake cups. Enya had acknowledged Taiyou, so he was fine with that.

“Enya-san.”

Sake cup in hand, Taiyou called Enya. With a natural movement, Kohaku filled his cup to the brim.

“I don’t know what we’ll be able to do now that we’re officially siblings, but I look forward to working with you from now on.”

“Siblings…”

“Are you not okay with that?”

“…Alright!”

Enya’s face showed that he was ready. He also took a cup filled to the brim, their cups making a clink sound as they toasted.

“Likewise, Bro.”
