When the sun had completely set, my concentration finally broke. This may be the first time I’ve concentrated for this long time.
I quickly assembled all my belongings, cleared up my desk and left the school.
After about 30 minutes of staggering walk, soaking in the afterglow of the day, I reached home.
“Tadaima”
“Okairo,” I heard my stepmother’s voice from the living room. (ED/N: Tadaima: I’m back; Okairo: Welcome back; japanese greeting thing)
“I wrote quite a lot today~.” I muttered those lines very naturally as I climbed the stairs and opened the door to my room.
And as I did, a pillow flew towards me.
“Onii-chan, you idiot! Why are you leaving me alone and going to school?!”
“Umm, Tadaima.”
“Okaeri, wait this is not it! Didn’t I tell you, let’s go together?”
“No I mean, you don’t even need to go out your way and force yourself to go with me. You also had to eat your breakfast, and see, isn’t Ayane a girl as well? Shouldn’t you dedicate more time in getting ready and make-up, don’t you think as well.”
“EVEN FOR ONII-CHAN, YOU GO THAT EARLY TO SCHOOL AND WHAT DO YOU EVEN DO OTHER THAN READING BOOKS, SO ISN’T IT OKAY IF YOU WOULD HAVE WAITED FOR ME.”
“In the first place, why do you even demand to come along with me so much in the first place?”
“Tha–That’s something you don’t have to think about! FOR–THE–TIME–BEING, wait for me from tomorrow onwards! okay?!”
“No I—”
“—YOU WILL WAIT, RIGHT!?”
“All right I will…”
“If you understood, then that’s fine. Now then Onii-chan, why don’t we eat dinner now? My stomach hurts from hunger already.”
“Okay I get it already, so please don’t pull me.”
Taichi and Ayane.
Apparently, as long as these two are around, my world won’t ever remain quiet.
