Vol 8 Chapter 1 (2/2)
But speaking of which, those tho had to walk out reluctantly as I was changing,in another world with different common sense
“And now, for another news report We will now provide you the latest reports froe-scale strike that happened in the foreign international airport Nakanishi+-san Are there any new developments about the strike?”
“Yes, this is Nakanishi+ After the sudden airport strike yesterday, it appeared that there was still a large divide between the worker union and the finance union, and there's no sign of any improvements soon Many tourists could only stay in the hotels near the airports until they start operations again, but many of them were already fully booked, and some tourists could only stay there—”
Fried salmon, omelette, miso soup and rice Beside the table of extremely ordinary breakfast, the reporter's voice continued to echo
“Looks like the planes can't fly for the ti”
Nee-san, as re the bones of the salmon with her chopsticks, said
“Looks that wayit's great if papa and mama comes back sooner”
On the other side, Himeji-san looked worried as she put her chopsticks down and stared at the screen
Why is Hi breakfast at our house? The answer's simple Himeji-san's parents aren't at home, so nee-san invited her to stay at our house for the tiirl stays at home alone
Hi, and ended up in the midst of the airport strike just when they were about to head home As the plane couldn't take off, Hio back Himeji-san knew of this news after the hotpot party atat our house for the ti
“You ht?”
“Yes”
Himeji-san nodded her head in a soh Hihtsee for a few days until the airport started operating again since the planes couldn't fly, this situation was really worrying
“—I hope that mama wouldn't enjoy herself too much and say that she doesn't want to come back to japan”
Eh? Is Himeji-san worried about that?
“But it's good that they're in a place with rather good security At least they won't feel bored staying there”
“That's really worryingin this situation, it's better to wait at the airport or hotel for the airport to resume operations”
“Ahaha, it's better than being all worried Actually, I really like this trait of Himeji-san's mother”
“Eh?”
In this situation, it couldn't be helped if she's so worried, but since an accident happened, it's better to do sohtforward and opti
“We, well, Akihisa-kun”
“Hm? What is it?”
“A lot of people said that I'm like mama”
“Heh~I see Your ht?”
“Yes, that's right I expected Akihisa-kun to have such a response”
Hih I say this, for some reason, I just felt that her smile wasn't shown in her eyes
“Oh yeah, Himeji-san, what do you want to do today? Do you have any plans for today?”
“No, I don't really have any plans What about you, Akihisa-kun?”
“Me? Of course I'ames for the whole day—”
“Nee-san's lips suddenly feel so lonely”
“—Not I want to clean the house up and wash clothes too! It's rare to get good weather like this anyway!”
On seeing nee-san narrow her eyes, I hurriedly took back my words
But the weather's really good today Since Hiood choice to clean the house If there's too ain Also, I have sos I really want to hide
“Are you cleaning? Please let me help”
“Hm? No, there's no need to worry about it You can take a break, Himeji-san”
“If not, I'll handle today's lunch”
“Hi room then, I'll clean the corridor and my room”
“Eh? Ah, okay, I understand”
Phewthat was nearly a big one
It's better to let Hie of lunch It's best if she can be so busy that she can't worry about food
“Nee-san will be in charge of lunch then”
“I CAN'T AVOID THE DANGER LIKE THAT!”
Although it's not as lethal as Hi can't be underestimated too
“Can you two please leave the cooking to ht? Shouldn't you focus on your work instead of cooking?”
“Aki-kun, it's pointless to bluff me with such a reason Nee-san's understands that Aki-kun won't allow nee-san into the kitchen”
Nee-san looked at me unhappily
Right, I got it Since she said that, I'll ask a simple question
“Then, nee-san, do you knoash rice?”
“Aki-kun, are you treating nee-san as an idiot?”
The last tietables, she actually took out cleaning agent! Who'll dare believe that?
“Really And you ondering why there's a need to have a whetstone in a kitchen”
“THAT'S TO SHARPEN THE KITCHEN KNIVES!”
Even though it was said to be 'a whetstone that wouldsuited to wash rice!
“Akira-san, that won't do If you want to wash rice, you should use 'clean'—HACCHOO!!”
“'CLEAN'! HIMEJI-SAN, WERE YOU TRYING TO SAY 'CLEANSER'!?”
A cleanser's supposed to be used for cleaning utensils like plates! It can't, can't be used for washi+ng rice!
This isn't good There'll definitely be a huge tragedy if I let these two people into the kitchen
“Anyway, let's start cleaning! I'll be in charge of lunch there!”
I used a somewhat forceful tone to say that
“Really, Aki-kun Since Aki-kun wants to cook for us like a little maid, nee-san should just endure it”
“That's right It can't be helped then”
“Ahh, damn it! Aren't these two supposed to be really smart?”
I really felt that school exams should have an additional test subject called 'common sense'
“Alright I said that I wanted to clean upbut what should I do?”
I looked around my own roo with nee-san, my room's more or less tidied up Since there's no need to tidy up, I should just get the vacuum cleaner to clean the floor and wipe the table
I took the cloth to wipe thesills and the book shelf a few times Uwah, to think it they're rather dirty Looks like I have to be
Since I have already started cleaning, I arranged the stuff on the book shelf and under the bed, and then took out the vacuum cleaner to suck up the dust that accu the surface clean After seeing radually tidy, I just started to feel happy
Just when I was dealing with the unexpected cleaning
Dok dok dok
“Akihisa-kun?”
A soft knocking on the door could be heard On hearing this voice, I guess that it should be Hiht?
“Hm? What is it?”
I stopped and turned around As expected, I saw her standing at the door The door was open, and yet she knocked the door That's really what the serious Himeji-san would do
“It's rare to have such a nice day, so I want to take the blankets out Can I borrow yours for a moment?”
Himeji-san said as she reached her hand out for that blanket on my bed
“That's a good idea A blanket that's basked in the sun should be rather comfy”
I don't understand why, but a blanket that's basked under the sun would feel coood idea to do so
“I can smell the sun like that when I sleep”
“That smell really makes me calm It'll be all the more sweeter when I sleep~”
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but look forward to ht
“Then, I'll take the blanket over”
“No need A blanket's nothing really heavy I can take it over now Heh~!”
“Thank you, Himeji-san”
“Ah, there's no need This is nothing much I'll take it and wash it too~”
Himeji-san carried the blanket and stuttered out of the room
Orderly when cleaning and quick when doing things Hireat wifeif her husband can really cook
“Okay, then”
I look around the rooht that I should clear the drawers
And thus, I continued to clean the room
After washi+ng the pail and the cleaning cloth, I wanted to use this time to head to the balcony outside—
“Uwa”
“?”
In the end, I found Hi her face into the blanket that was just taken out of my room
“WellHimeji-san?”
“KYAAAAAHHHH!!??”
She screaain her attention Eh? What just happened? Did I do so I shouldn't have done?
“AHHHH!! AKIHISA-KUN!? THI, THIS ISYOU'RE MISTAKEN!”
Himeji-san frantically shook her hands as she tried to deny so in a flusteredjust now?
“Tha, that, Akihisa-kun! It's not what you thinking! I didn't use that excuse of borrow your blanket to hang it on the balcony It, it's just that I accidentally—”
Is that soWell, Hi on the outside, but even after knowing that her parents shouldn't be in any danger as they're in a country with rather good security, it couldn't change the fact that her parents couldn't co back her tears while hiding it behind out backs
“Well, Himeji-san”
“Ye, yes!”
“If you're willing, froether with m—”
“Eh? EHHH! Wh, why are you saying this out of a sudden? We're living together, but being like this right fro!”
“—My sister”
“EhAkihisa-kun, what are you mistaken about this time”
If she's not willing to show her eht for her to talk it out with nee-san, right? Don't look at nee-san's irresponsible demeanour like that, she's still an adult, so she should definitely be able to ease that uneasy feeling in Himeji-san
“Aki-kun, what did you say about me?”
“Ah, nee-san”
Nee-san just so happened to be look at us fro room I entered the house and lowered my volume to explain to her what happened
“Hi uneasy now If possible, can you sleep with her tonight, nee-san?”
Hiht Maybe she can cal to sleep with her?
“I see, so that's how it is”
Nee-san whispered back
It's better not to talk about the reason now, right? If soether since you look so lonely', I guess no one would answer 'I got it I'll leave things to you then'
“Mizuki-chan, how about you sleep with ht?”
“Ah, noI don't really understand what's going on, but I guess Akihisa-kun must have been mistaken”
“Mistakenreally? Like how?”
“Ehit'sI actuallythat, Akihisa-kun's”
“To my?”
“Blanketthat”
“To my blanket?”
“Noit's nothing”
““?””
It seee the topic and made up a reason but couldn't think of a suitable one She really doesn't need to worry about that
“Then you should be alright with sleeping with ht? Aki-kun wouldn't sleep with me now Last time, he would be happy when he could sleep with nee-san”
“I was co, okay? Nee-san, you forced me to sleep with you!”
She twisted my joint to somewhere iht over with just a si sweetly'!
“Besides, once you sleep with me, I can assure you that you will be safe from that despicable lust of Aki-kun”
“Hold on! Don't say it as some despicable lust! If you have to describe it, you should usean overflow in abundance of youth—”
“—A lust to abuse housewives”
“Or so like thatOI, THAT'S NOT IT!”
Overflowing in abundance of youth and a lust to abuse housewives? This expression would basically get me arrested by the cops!
“That's how it is, Mizuki-chan To protect yourself, you're going to sleep with me in the same room”
“Oh, okay”
For soe was really belittled, but since I can let Hihtly, I can only accept it silently
“That's decided then Nee-san, can you please move Himeji-san's blanket into your room? I think it's about time to start with lunch”
“Got it”
“Well, Akihisa-kun, if it's lunch, I think I”
“No no no, it's alright you don't have to worry about it! Besides, don't you want to leave the blankets out in the sun, Himeji-san? I'll leave it to you then”
I rebutted back without giving her a chance to response
“Since you say so”
Himeji-san looked really unhappy, but still nodded her head
Alright, since I have to prepare lunch, let's prepare dinner too I must take the first strike before Himeji-san wants to snatch the kitchen job
