Life is a Mess Ever Since My Mother Won an Ero-Novel Grand Prize - Chapter 1.4

Chapter 1.4

The meeting took about 2 hours. I am currently being dropped off at home

The sun had completely set, and the streets were illuminated by the faint glow of lamps.

As I went out of the car, the window slide down and Hanagaki said,

“I’m sorry but I won’t be able to accompany you to your house. I’m a very busy woman, and my schedule is very tight, yes, just like a virgin.”

“I don’t think that metaphor was necessary.”

“The writers I’m in charge of are all trash that miss their deadlines without a second thought so I’ve to keep an eye on them. I hope you don’t become one of them, you know I don’t want to be a murderer yet…”

“I-I’ll do my best…”

“Good. You should, if you want to live.”

I wonder how long my heart could take her Yankee threats.

I just stood there staring at the black luxury car that soon disappeared from sight.

Thank god. I turned around and headed home. It was a luxurious house for a family of three.

“I’m home.”(E/N:Tadaima.) (E/N: Don’t mind this its just for my pleasure,)

As soon as I opened the door I saw my mother coming to welcome me while wiping hands on her apron.

“Welcome back.”(E/N: Okaerinasai.)

“How did it go?” Her eyebrows furrowed anxiously. As expected, even she was curious about the editor in charge.

I nodded gravely and said nothing.

In the dining room, my younger sister, Miyuha, was having curry for dinner.

She is a beautiful girl who seems to have been made with the best genes a bloodline can have. She is quite an innocent beauty. Her eyes have an interesting coolness to them. She’s also incredibly strong.

I took my seat at the table, Miyuha, who was watching me spat out,

“Nii-sama…”(E/N: HUWAA SUGEEEEEEEEEE)

It sounds like a high note of a metallic string instrument.

Her tone, the resonant pleasing sound, wasn’t really like this. It seems that the school had trained her to be that way, when she was in her first year of a famous school for young ladies.

When she was in kindergarten she used to run after me with the cuteness of a commoner, saying “Onii-chan, Onii-chan,” but now she has changed to a purely cultured young lady.

Incidentally, Our mother Mirei also went to the same school as Miyuha in the past… I wonder if in another 20 years, Miyuha will also become like her?

“Is something wrong, Miyuha?”

She replied while having her eyes on the table,

“Dear Mother is acting strange.”

Mirei, who was stirring curry in the kitchen which was close to the stairs, panicked. She must have got the curry on her hand as she began to do a strange dance, saying, “It’s hot!”

She is really bad at hiding things… especially her behaviour… it’s too obvious when she hides something…

Of course I know why she was acting so suspiciously. I know everything about it. And of course, I don’t want to even think about it.

How am I supposed to mention words such as erotic novel in front of my sister. If I did, she would probably turn red, get a nosebleed, her brain would overheat, and she would probably stay in bed for three days. Such a topic would be too stimulating for her.

“Most likely, she got fired from her part-time job again, that she doesn’t want us to know.”

In reality, she was no longer working part-time, but had become a writer.

“Is that so? I was thinking that since she got fired from part-time jobs so many times she should’ve gotten used to it. I don’t understand why she’s trying to hide it now.”(E/N: Humu, you shouldn’t hide your mista- OI STOP THAT IT HURTS, I WON’T DO IT AGAIN I PROMISE!)

That’s a pretty awful thing to say, dear sister.

“I think it’s the other way around.”

“Other way?”

“Yes. She must have found something to do. But it’s something that she doesn’t want us to know. That’s why she’s nervous to tell us.”

Dear sister, if you’re too wise, you sure ended up stepping on a tiger’s tail…

I’ll try to change the subject.

“Anyway, Miyuha, how are your club practices going?”

She is in the art club. She has an innate talent for drawing and has won several competitions since she was a child. Although she is not very good at sports, her academic and artistic abilities are outstanding.

“Though it’s a hassle, I have a feeling they’re going to put me in charge this year.”

“Impressive. I knew your talent for drawing was incredible.”

When I visited her school festival last year, I saw the exhibits of the art club, and it made me realize once again that my sister is on a league of her own.

She made a painting of a woman in traditional clothes with her back to the audience, on a large man-sized canvas. It depicts the scene of the woman staring at the fireworks.

From the beauty, who seemed to turn around, a feeling of sensuality was radiating from her exposed nape. The whole picture was a masterpiece. I wonder if she were to paint a portrait of a naked woman, she would probably be able to create the masterpiece of the century.

All the spectators gathered in front of her painting were squealing in admiration.

“I’m proud of you, Miyuha. You’re the best sister I’ve ever had.”

“W-why are you saying such an embarrassing thing, all of a sudden…”

“No, I’m being honest.”

While I was nodding, “Yes, it’s true”, I heard a voice from the kitchen saying, “Haru-kun, what about me!? Your cute mom?” 

I heard, but I decided to ignore it. I mean, where’s my curry?

“Oh, by the way, you have a scholarship exam upcoming, and thereafter an interview as well, right?”

My sister is one of only five candidates for the special scholarship program in Tokyo. It’s almost as if she’s considered to be one of the future of the country. Even though she is my sister, she is so god-like that I can’t even perceive it.

“Yeah, though I’m a bit nervous.”

Miyuha answered in a low voice and gulped a glass of water.

Then hesitantly she turned her eyes at me. Our eyes met. I thought it was customary for ladies to keep their gaze lowered, but it seemed she had something on her mind.

“There is something I want to ask, Nii-sama.”

“Oh, from me?”

As long as it wasn’t about our mother, I am fine with it. 

But Miyuha’s question was rather strange,

“Um, about three days ago, after school…”

“Hmm?”

“I happened to find you in a bookstore, three days ago.”

“Oh yeah, three days ago, after school, I went to a bookstore…”

Hmm? A bookstore? But was it a bookstore?

“No, it’s Animate. What is it, Miyuha? You wanna visit Animate, too?”

“N-no, that’s not it. It just happened to be there, a friend forced me to come that day.”

She denies it shyly while blushing.

“What a good friend you have there to take you to Animate. You know I was worried that you’ve been in the box for so long, so don’t mind taking a peek at Animate from time to time.”

It’s good that they don’t keep any +18 products there

“Anyway, if you saw me, you could have at least said something to me.”

Hmm…

“Ah I get it… you didn’t want to introduce me to your friends?”

“No, That’s not true!”

“I’m sorry that this brother of yours is not good looking enough… I wish I had some of your characteristics.”

“Don’t belittle yourself. A person’s appearance is just for decoration. Well, you’re not… that un-cool, you know.”

She added in a whisper as her cheeks flushed red.

Thank you, I’m flattered… I smiled.

“You’re the most handsome, and better looking than anyone in the world, Haru-kun!” I ignored the buzzing of the curry serving machine.

“The reason I didn’t say anything back then was because…”

Miyuha, looking grim, glared at me, though modestly.

“The reason why I didn’t speak to you was because you were chatting with a woman.”

Her cheeks puffed up that of an angry kid.

“She seemed quite close to you. Who is she?”

—I can’t forgive you, you leecher. She puffed up her cheeks as if to say.

“You mean Rinka?”

She asked me to show her around Animate, and I did. So Miyuha was also there at that time. 

Hmm, idk what’s the problem.

“Oh, you call her by first name, Nii-sama.”

The light in her eyes disappeared.

“Don’t tell me you’re mad at me, Miyuha?”

“Let’s talk about this with dear mother okay?, Dear Mother?”

“Yes, what is it?”

Mirei, who had finally arrived with the curry, served it on the table and joined the conversation.

“Nii-sama seems to be getting close to a woman his own age.”

“Eh!? No that’s…”

It was the next moment.

“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜〜?!” and the scream echoed through the neighborhood. I was too slow to hold my ear and took some damage. But Miyuha had enough time to cover her ears, as she showed her smug face.

“Stop it! Don’t just start yelling all of a sudden!”

“Because, because, it means that Haru-kun has finally found a girlfriend? I don’t like it, I~don’t~like~it, don’t leave me, please don’t leave me, Haru-kun〜〜〜〜!”(E/N: Datte datte, Haru-kun wa tsuini kanojo wo mitsuketandayo, Iyada yo sonna koto, yadaa, hitori ni shinaide Haru-kun〜〜!)

She clings to me. She’s so frustrating and heavy.(E/N: Again its just for my personal pleasure.)

“Haru-kun, Haru~kun! Don’t leave your mother behind, stay with me forever, and join me in the same grave!”(E/N:Haru-kun,Haru〜kun! Hahaoya wo hitori ni shinaide, zutto watashi no soba ni ite, and join me in the same grave! No way am I ever gonna make the last phrase a romaji!)

“Oi, don’t be silly! You’ve got too much on your mind! Just let go of me.”

“Good luck, Nii-sama.”

“Wait a minute! Why are you running away?! Do something about her, Miyuha.”

Miyuha turned and gave me the cold shoulder.

“Nii-sama, a womanizer, deserves it.”

Hmph!, she sniffed and left the living room.

Konoyaro…! It’s none of your business where and who I go with. And what do you even mean by womanizer? It wasn’t a date, anyway!

“Haru-kun, Haru~kun! Are you going to leave me? I hate it. If you leave I’ll be all alone, I don’t know what I’m going to do without you. Fueh~~~”

She put her hands over her eyes and started crying like a little girl.

“Oh, my God! I’m not going anywhere! I’ll stay with you forever, okay!”

“Are you telling the truth? Promise me! Promise me that you’ll be with me forever! Pinky promise!”

“Yes, yes, pinky promise.”

“Yay♪ I did it♪ Now we will be together, forever and ever! Even if the universe ends, even in the next world or in the afterlife! No matter the number of times, we’ll be together forever!”

“Isn’t forever too long?”

“I love you, Haru-kun!”

She jumps on me like a puppy. I was immediately enveloped by a soft and fluffy sensation, as she pressed her massive twin br*asts against me, held me tightly and rubbed her cheeks with mine.

“… Stop it…”

It took me a good thirty minutes to get her off me.
