Yoshi+ Akihisa’s answer:

Teacher's comment:
Soenius, but that’s just a wrong impression
I’erous sister of mine under the same roof
Maybe it’s because of such a tense feeling that nition ability got sharper?
I suffered for an entire day yesterday, and I really felt tired because I studied, which I rarely do However, for so
“…”
“…”
Theonto a pile of cos looks with my sister
“…Ah…erm…”
What is this person doing in ?
“Good , Aki-kun”
“Ah, yeah Good ”
As she said goodtoo !
“Nee-san! Why did you come over toof bullying ain?”
Is she planning on doodling on !?
“What do you ? That doesn’t sound nice You should be saying pa a little prank on you”
“Ahh, whatever you say doesn’t !?”
“sexual related”
“GET OUT!”
“I understand Then treat it as revision for last night I’ll leave if you can translate that into correct English”
damn it! A test at this moment? My sister’s too daet her out of my room
“Take off!”
“Deduct 10 points”
daain! Isn’t it like this? Let o’, and ‘out’ will have theof ‘out’ here If I match them up…
“Take ou—”
“Unfortunately, if you want to say ‘take out’, nee-san will have to take Aki-kun ‘back’ to her own room and dress you like a doll”
“Take ouch!”
This is bad! Got to hurry up and get away—
“Did you say ‘take ouch’?deduct another 10 points”
—I failed again
No no What’s the English foret out’…what, what is it…
“Aki-kun, did you want to say ‘take off clothes’?”
Perhaps she couldn’t stand seeing reat! I don’t knohat that means, but I should be able to escape then!
“Tha, that’s right! That’s it! ‘Take off clothes, hurry!’”
“I understand that If Aki-kun says so, nee-san can only give up on e”
What! What does ‘take off clothes’ e!
“Alright, considering all the punishh with the jokes”
“Eh? Jokes? Then what about the point deduction?”
“I’m serious with that one”
“YOU DEMON!”
In that case, I will have 240 points deducted I’ worse day by day…
“On a side note, ‘take off clothes’ is translated as ‘taking off clothing’ Really, our Aki-kun here is so perverted”
“Ahaha, what are you saying It doesn’t benefit me one bit even if I see nee-san’s naked body”
“…Deduct 30 points from you”
“YOU’RE THE DEVIL!”
There will be real probleer brother is interested in his sister’s naked body
“Speaking of which, while Aki-kun was sleeping in theto check your room”
“Excuse…that’s not so you can just say…”
“I found two more H-books”
“HAAAAUUUU!!”
How did this person find those old books that even I've cootten…
“So I’ to deduct from you another 20 points”
“Uu…so you’re deducting one book for 10 points, and two books for 20 points?”
“Nope, you’re mistaken”
Eh? That’s not it?
“I found 6 books up till now, but none of them were about affairs with older sisters, so I deducted 20 points from you”
“ISN’T THAT WAY TOO UNREASONABLE!?”
I already have a sister, how can I even go and buy those kinds of ero-books?! Speaking of which, since she’s usted if she saw such things?
“I ht be a little bit too strict, but I hope that it will serve as a good lesson for Aki-kun This is nee-san’s love for Aki-kun”
“WHO WOULD BELIEVE SUCH A LAME EXCUSE AFTER YOU'VE CLEARLY SHOWED ALL YOUR PERSONAL INTERESTS?!”
“Alright, you should leave after having your breakfast Nee-san has to go to work today”
“Uu…I can’t stand such a life…”
How is it that living together with a relative under one roof can be such a pain?
“That’s the case, Yuuji So let’s have a happy study group later again!”
After school, I packedat the fastest speed possible and hurriedly ran over to Yuuji’s seat
“…Akihisa These words sound really disgusting when they aren’t things you’ll normally say”
“Whatever you say I’ about what other people say”
Theto do other than to try to irades
“What the heck, you got deducted again?”
“Well…nee-san tested …”
Testing me just when I woke up; there has to be a liuess it doesn’t matter what the time was, since I just couldn’t think of the answer…
“Really? Then how much were you deducted?”
“In all, 290 This is bad”
“290, huh Looks like you have to get at least 1090 points for your end-of-term exams”
“Yeah Even if I’ood condition, et more than 50 points more…”
If I can get 1100 points, it will be the average in E class To be honest, I have no confidence in that
“If it’s just that, you should be able to do it”
“Eh? Really?”
“If you’re willing to work like crazy s that you have to rerades In your case, world history should be your big chance I remember it was only about 50, 60 points?”
“Un You really remembered that”
“I’m the class rep of F class after all”
Yuuji would check everyone’s scores before starting a su war As a corades
“It see to be different than the one for the streaood thing for you, right?”
“Tanaka-sensei…if he’s the one et points
Tanaka-sensei, who’s in charge of world history, is a kind ed arded ast the students
Norood or bad the grades are, and a test that doesn’t deterless
But toI really need Besides, the i isn’t to coet points
“It should be easier to get points froood at”
“You're right Even if I start studying rades”
Topoints on these end-of-term tests will be world history
Just when Yuuji and I were discussing how to deal with the tests and things like that, Hideyoshi+, as holding onto his bag, came to us
“What are you discussing about? Are we having another study group at Akihisa’s house?”
“My house? Well…nee-san’s out to work, so she won’t be around at night, so you can co But…”
“But?”
“It’s better to go to Yuuji’s house to study It’s better to change places once in a while to one other than mine And my house doesn’t have any reference books, so we can’t study if there’re things we don’t have”
I iested that we study at Yuuji’s place
It’s not a lie when I say that I don’t have any reference books at all, but the reason why I chose Yuuji’s place is actually because I want to drag his he’s not interested in, so if I don’t do this, I orry that he won’t teach me He said that he would helpbattle, but I have to be prepared
“Can we, Yuuji? You did come over to my house forcefully yesterday”
“Well, we did force our way to your house yesterday alright…”
Yuuji pondered for a while,
“Alright then, we’ll go to s trip and isn’t at home now That’s really lucky”
I don’t knohat’s worth being happy about Yuuji’s reed rather heartily Now I can ask him to teach me today
“In that case, can I join in too? It’s really hard to bealone”
“Of course it’s okay Or rather, the saht as well gather them to save time”
“You’re right Oi, Muttsurini, Himeji-san, Minami!”
I hollered out to the other three aiting in the classroom
“Yes, what’s the matter, Akihisa-kun?”
“What?”
“…Where’re we going?”
Having packed their bags, the trio carried them and walked over
“Un We intend to study at Yuuji’s house If you guys are alright…”
Perhaps it was to prepare for the upcoreed wholeheartedly
After a 15 minute walk from school, we arrived at Yuuji’s place, located in a corner of the residence district
“““Please excuse us”””
After taking off our shoes at the corridor, we entered the house one by one
Unlike alow and looks wider than mine It should be easier to study here
“Yuuji, isn’t anyone else at home?”
I walked forward and asked Yuuji as about to lead us to his room
“Ahh,at this tih school friends, so please don’t feel restrained and make yourself at home”
“I see The last time I came here, it seemed that your relatives weren’t at home, Yuuji”
“Yeah But it’ll be better if they’re not at home in more than one way”
Yuuji s room, and then,
“……(Guchi guchi guchi guchi)!”
There’s a wo
“…”
—BATAN!
Yuuji wordlessly closed the door
“Yu, Yuuji? That person who’s squeezing the bubble bags that’s piled up like a hill is—”
“…Someone I don’t know”
“Is, is that Sakas…”
“Ye, yeah Aren’t there too many of them? If she wants to squeeze so many of them, it will take about 1, 2 hours”
“…Such a concentration”
“Is Sakas?”
All sorts of ideas appeared in everyone’s mind What was that just now…
“Must be soot into s trip”
It’s really rare for Yuuji to h This Yuuji can cheat other people’s hearts like a professional con-ht that such an evil Yuuji was no different from the devil, so I’m rather surprised by his response now
Yuuji closed the door leading to the living room, and we could only stay in the corridor At this er could be heard
“Oh my? I didn’t think it would be that late now I remember Yuuji just went to school”
Looks like the person inside the roos for almost 8 hours
“I’ll finish the rest after I have lunch”
And it looks like she wants to continue
“damn MOM! WHAT THE hell ARE YOU DOING!?”
Seely unable to stand this any further, Yuuji finally stepped into the living room Really? That person’s really Yuuji’s mother…
“Oh my, Yuuji You’re back”
“TO hell I AM! WHY THE HECK ARE YOU AT HOME!? DIDN’T YOU SAY THAT YOU’RE GOING OUT ON A HOT SPRINGS TRIP AND STAYING OUTSIDE!?”
“About this, it seemed that okaa-san here mistook the tilance How troublesome”
“HOW IS IT EASY TO MIX UP!? THE NUMBER’S DIFFERENT, AND ONE’S A SINGLE DIGIT WHILE THE OTHER IS A DOUBLE DIGIT! THEY’RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!”
“Really, you, Yuuji, treating okaa-san like a naive feh school student”
“STOP USING THAT SHAMELESS EXCUSE TO ESCAPE THE PROBLEM! YOUR GOLDEN AGE ENDED MORE THAN 10 YEARS AGO!!”
“Oh my, are these Yuuji’s friends?”
“ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!?”
We were already stunned by such a crazy conversation A, a…
“Everyone, welcome here Our Yuuji has bothered you a lot I’m his mother Just call me Yukino”
Aunty Yukino sentle presence that she gave really ine that she would have any blood relation to Yuuji
And also, after seeing her look, there’s one thing we’re all shocked by
“Sa, Saka, isn’t she?”
“Yeah…I feel that Yuuji’s ave birth before…”
“…A beauty”
“I feel that she’s more like Sakamoto-kun’s sister~”
Just like what everyone said, she looked more like an older sister as so of which, how old is she anyway?
“Ever everyone, just pretend that you never saw my mother and head to my room”
“U, un Pardon us for intruding then”
After bowing to his mother, we head over to Yuuji’s room on the second level
“Everyone, I’ll bring tea to you later”
A voice ca and pretty and kind h it feels a little weird
“My room’s here Please enter”
We entered Yuuji’s room as he led us in
Once ent up the stairs, we arrived at Yuuji’s roo For a one-person room, it’s rather wide
“Speaking of which, it’s been a while since I came to Yuuji’s house”
“I’d say so too”
“…Me too”
It seemed that after I came here last autumn with Hideyoshi+ and Muttsurini, we never entered Yuuji’s house again
“Eh? Don’t you normally come for a visit?”
“Noro to Yuuji’s house, or even Muttsurini or Hideyoshi+’s house”
“The place’s great and it’s wide Akihisa’s house is still the best”
“That’s because Akihisa-kun’s being too luxurious living in such a large house”
“Other than the three meals”
Yeah yeah, but I will have to see the grades of these end-of-term tests to decide whether I can livealone
“But…with so many people inside, my room will be too small, which is troublesome…”
There were 6 people altogether If ere chit-chatting, it would still be alright, but if we open all our textbooks and notes, the place will be rather small and hard to move in
“Can’t we go to your living room?”
“It’s not that we can’t, but my mom’s over there With her around, we can’t possibly study”
Yuuji showed a thoroughly irritated look It uy’s weakness other than Kirishi+ma-san
“Really, how can you say that, Saka your own mother as a form of trouble”
“Hi with such a mother If you have to live with her for 24 hours a day under the same roof, you’ll find that there’s a lot of points you have to snark at her about—”
Prrr! Prrr!
Just when Yuuji was arguing back, a certain electronic sound suddenly rang inside the roo
“Ah, it’s my phone Sorry, I’ll take the call”
Minami took the phone from her skirt pocket and put it next to her ear It was not a ent?
“hello? Ah, Mut—okaa-san What is it? …Un…un I see, got it then”
This call lasted less than a minute as Minami put the phone back into her skirt pocket
“Did so happen, Minami?”
“Un…o to work and could stay at hoent, so she has to go out”
“Ah, is that so? Then Hazuki-chan’s the only one at home, is it?”
“Ya Sorry everyone, looks like I have to go hoether next time”
I see It’s a pity, but it can't be helped Besides, it’s tooa primary school kid at home
Minaot ready to leave Yuuji’s room But at this moment, Yuuji called Minami
“Wait, shi+roup over to your house?”
“Eh? My house?”
Minaood idea
“That’s not a bad idea too shi+mada’s little sister knows us, and Yuuji’s room is so full of people that it’s a little cramped here”
“And we can meet Hazuki-chan too”
“…I can cook dinner for you”
The rest of us agreed with this proposal Most importantly, it looks like Yuuji, who proposed this, wants to change the place no matter what
“If you’re willing, Minao?”
“U…you, you’re right…”
That’s weird? It sounds like Minaood idea
“The, then, let’s go to my house…”
After pondering for a while, Minareat, now Hazuki-chan won’t have to feel lonely, and everyone can gather together and study
“But you absolutely must not enter my room!”
For some reason, Minami stared at my eyes as she said that Do I look like soirl’s room on my own? And to think Minaretful
“Alright Since it’s decided, let’s hurry up and leave! That pipsqueak will feel lonely if we leave her alone at home!”
After saying that, Yuuji pushed us from behind and hurriedlyhis ?
Yuuji entered the living roo on our shoes in the corridor to talk to Aunt Yukino
“Mo out There are leftovers froe, so take it out and reheat it for dinner”
“Ohout? I just brewed tea”
“Sorry, there’s a sudden situation…speaking of which, why are you holding onto that bottle of noodle sauce?”
“Noodle sauce? Oh ht it was coffee”
“Mom…I won’t ask you to take note of the color or taste, but at least you should read the label on the bottle…”
What’s going on? Why do I feel that Yuuji feels even ic at home than at school?
“I’m back Are you here, Hazuki?”
Minami immediately called into the house once she opened the door to the corridor
“Waa, onee-chan? You, you’re back?”
A little profile dashed out from the other side of the corridor
The girl with the al upwards and two ponytails tied in butterfly knots is Minami’s little sister—shi+mada Hazuki
“? Hazuki? Did you come out from onee-chan’s room?”
Looks like Hazuki-chan just ca out from Minami’s room
“Ah, auu…actually it’s because…it feels lonely being alone, so Hazuki went over to onee-chan’s room…”
Hazuki-chan sounded like she really had so she didn’t want to say, and there see hidden in the pocket of her parka
“Did you go to ry over that”
“Re, really? Thank you, onee-chan!”
Good good Minaently on the head I saw that their conversation has ended, and took a step forward from behind Minami and said hello to Hazuki-chan
“hello there, Hazuki-chan”
“Ah! Baka onii-chan!”
On seeing that I came over, Hazuki-chan leaped into ing my waist, Hazuki-chan rubbed her forehead at my waist a few times Un un, as expected of Minami’s little sister…her forehead precisely fits my solar plexus
“hello there, Hazuki-chan We ca”
“Waah Even pretty onee-chan is here There’re a lot of guests here today!”
It’s really lonely for a primary school kid to be alone at home, as Hazuki-chan immediately showed a smile the hted Such an honest kid is really suited for the term ‘innocent’
“Okay, Hazuki, let go of Aki, or else everyone else can’t enter the house”
“Okay, I got it Baka onii-chan, everyone, please follow me”
“Okay okay, Hazuki-chan, you don’t have to pull me I’ll follow—nn?”
As I was pulled over down the corridor by Hazuki-chan, I accidentally glimpsed the inside of a room whose door wasn’t locked There are a few dolls inside, and at the e doll The doll looks like it’s holding onto so
What’s in the grasp of that fox doll? It looks like…a photo frame…?
“Wa, wait a second, Aki!?”
“Houe?”
On hearing Minami call me, I consciously turned around At thatforce Just when I lost my balance, the joints on my wrists were twisted with such violent force that they were dislocated
“What are you looking at?”
I suppose right now I' into the pit of hell
“Listen! This is the room that you’re not allowed to enter!”
Minami hurriedly closed the door, and at this moment, Muttsurini too joined me with dislocated wrists Minami then turned around and furiously pointed at me Un, relax, I definitely won’t open this door I know clearly that this door leads straight to hell
“Really, what in the world are you guys doing…how have you been doing, pipsqueak?”
“Hazuki’s doing well, muscular onii-chan”
“Really? That’s good”
Yuuji reached out and patted Hazuki-chan’s head twice before putting his hand on her head It seems that Yuuji likes to put his hand on Hazuki-chan’s forehead because of the difference in height
“Oh yeah, is your living room in this direction?”
“Yes, it’s this way”
Yuuji looks like he regained his composure and attitude the moment he left his house If I had known, I would have mocked him further
“Find a place to sit then I’ll move a table over”
Minaot ready to move a table so that we could open our textbooks and read
“? Onee-chan? Why do you need the table? Are you playing cards?”
Hazuki-chan tilted her head in a puzzled manner as she saw Minami’s actions
Ahh, that’s right We haven’t told Hazuki-chan the reason e came over to her house
“Hazuki Onee-chan’s school is going to have end-of-terht her classmates over to study”
On hearing Minami’s explanation, Hazuki-chan showed a lonely expression and looked down slightly
“Auu…so you’re going to study…Hazuki can only go back to her room and not bother you…”
I should say she either really kno to read the o back to her roo
This is really a response a good kid should have, but…
“Wait a moment, Hazuki-chan If you feel bored, why don’t you study with us? You can do your homework or study”
It’s not a good thing if a kid can really read people’s moods She was already happy when she saw us come over Wouldn’t it be really lonely if she were to hide back in her room alone like that?
“Eh? Hazuki can stay with everyone to study?”
Her expression ihtened
“Of course you can Right?”
“Yeah It doesn’tone or two people”
“Yuuji, are you saying that I’rader?”
“Hazuki-chan Let’s study together”
“I don’t think thisto welcome you to study with us”
“…If it’s health education, I can teach you”
Muttsurini, those words of yours are just within the limit (it’s nearly an out there)
(Aki, are you really alright with that? Don’t you have to work hard for the tests this time?)
Mina that and whispered into rades
(It’s alright Hazuki-chan’s a good kid and won’t be a hindrance Also, it's too pitiful if she stays in her room alone I won’t be able to work hard then)
Minas… of course that was my response
(…Thank you, Aki)
She whispered to me in a shy manner
Minaentleher like this, I…well, about this…what should I say
“Hazuki wants to study with everyone!”
“Very good Bring your homework over then”
“Got it!”
Tototo Hazuki-chan sca with us, she looks really happy
“Alright We’re going to move the table I’ll help”
“Ah, there’s no need I can do it myself”
“Really? Yeah If there’s a ‘photo of a certain person in the house’, of course you wouldn't wish that other people would go around, and I won’t insist on helping”
“Wh-hat, what are you saying, Sakamoto!? Did you…see what’s inside that room!?”
“Nothing, I’…”
“To think that shi+irl”
“…Sorry for using your generosity to help my business”
Looks like Minao over to buy photos from Muttsurini Muttsurini Company is really the real deal
“Oh yeah We can talk about the hidden things later What about dinner?”
“…Should I cook so?”
“I don’t mind”
It’s 5predients, and on’t be able to make it later
“Why don’t we order pizza? It’ll take so”
“Yes Akihisa-kun has to study quite a bit We can’t waste ti”
It’s great that the two girls were so kind Besides, I do have soreat if we can prioritize cooking
“Well, I’d thought ould be able to see shi+mada cook personally”
“After last night, hly shaken, so…”
“I see I understand”
“Everyone, find a place to sit I’ll move the table over”
Minami went away, and Hazuki-chan seemed to brush past her as her arms were full of textbooks while she came over
“Sorry to keep everyone waiting”
“You look rather motivated, Hazuki-chan”
“Yes Ah, baka onii-chan, please sit here”
Hazuki-chan put the books in her hand onto the living room table, and then put a cushi+on on the carpet Is she asking me to sit on it?
“Thank you, Hazuki-chan”
“It’s nothing much”
I obediently sat on the cushi+on, and then—
“Hazuki’s seat is over here”
