Chapter 38: The Little runt succumbs to loneliness.
1
Gendoji Asuka woke up.
A king-sized bed, more than enough for a kid to sleep all for themself.
The room was as spacious as the size of the bed, so much so that the first time when Mio and Mahiru, both were colored surprised.
“*Funyu”
She put on her glasses left by her pillow and stretched out her hands.
When I finished getting dressed and left the room, an old lady helper was about to attend me.
“Ojousama, breakfast is ready.”
“Yes, thank you.”
After finishing my polite greetings, I headed to the dining room.
She knew that all the helpers were kind, but that was only because it was their job to be so. She understood that even earlier as a child.
If she asks them to play with her, they’ll definitely accompany her.
But one time, after playing, she noticed a look of fatigue on their faces.
Asaka knew that she should not be selfish and trouble her helpers to accompany her for playing and such, since that will add on to the daily labor that they are to do everyday already.
“Ittadakimasu”
Asaka was born to a father who is the president of a major medical device manufacturer <Gendouji> and a mother who is a lawyer.
Although she was doted on as a child born later in life, her parents were still both in their prime working years because of which, they were rarely at home.
She also has two elder sisters, but, while one of them had moved abroad for work/study, the other one is married and lives far away.
Because of a relationship which only extends till seeing her only a few times a year, those elder sisters felt more like a relative’s aunt to Asaka than her elder sister.
Her paternal grandfather also lives with her, but as he is quite old, he has started showing symptoms of dementia. Thus, he doesn’t move much from his room.
And right now, he probably wasn’t even awake yet.
“Thank you for the meal.”
After eating alone, I returned to my room.
The time was 6:10.
It was the time to attend the radio gymnastics.
Armed with a stamp card and a straw hat, she rushes out of the house.
“I’ll be leaving.”
“Have a safe trip.”
Even though she was at her own home, somehow Asaka felt really lonely.

“Say, can we come to Asska’s house today?”
Mio asks.
“yep, it’s okay~.”
On her way home from radio gymnastics, she stopped by <Moon Night Terrace>.
It was still before the store opened, but they specially let these girls in.
The three of them enjoyed drinking coffee milk while playing mobile games.
Aritsuki who was literally forced to awake by Mio and Mahiru was drinking orange juice and drooling eyes.
“Yuu-san, please come as well.”
Asaka said in a spoiled voice, with sleepy eyes, Arizuki said,
“Sure, but I—I’m feeling really sleepy.”
“Truthfully!?”
Asuka was in the mood to start dancing at any moment.
If Aritsuki comes to her house, the time she spends at her house will definitely be more enjoyable.
“Asaka’s house is amazing you know,” Mahiru said.
“Is it so?”
“There’s a huge pond, and you can even see Fuji-san clearly and beautiful from there.”
“The TV is huge as well.”
Mio spreads her arms wide open to show.
“I can’t understand at all…”
“Nevertheless, let’s go.”
Asaka took Arizuki’s hand and pulled her.
“It’s fine, but today’s Asaka is quite aggressive huh.”
“hurry up, hurry up.”
“Okay, okay, I get it. I’ll get prepared, so wait a minute.”

“OH”
Less than 20 minutes on foot from <Moon Night Terrace>.
The Gendoji mansion stood on a slightly elevated land on a slope.
There is an observatory terrace overhanging the slope of the large Japanese-Western mansion.
Now I see, if it is from there, Mt.Fuji can definitely be seen quite well.
I’ve heard for a long time that she’s indeed quite rich, but this is in fact quite amazing. Being and having an autonomy of the location where you can enjoy the scenic beauty of Mt.Fuji.
Perhaps, looking at all the townscape appearing miniature from there. When I wonder if my house is around there; looks like it would be fun.
“Please come in.”
“Oh, I will be intruding then.”
“Coming in~.”
“Coming in~.”
While I timidly stepped in, these two little bas—-ds entered without any knowledge of what they were doing in the first place.
“U–oh”
I couldn’t find any jars or paintings that I don’t understand unlike a rich man’s house that is shown in an anime or manga, but feeling and looking at the quality of the things that are placed, like, even the slippers, it makes me feel that ‘They’re certainly using some good stuff.’ as I wear them.
“Amazing right~.”
Mahiru puffs out her thin chest.
[TL: praise me! I managed to not write non-existent here!]
“What are you even arrogant about?”
“Welcome back, Ojousama… Oh, are we having guests today?”
Suddenly, an old woman appeared from the corner.
“Ishikawa-san, can you bring some tea in my room? Oh, do you prefer coffee instead, Yuu-san?”
“Hmm, well, something like that.”
“Then, a coffee for Yuu-san please.”
“I got it”
The old woman, who was called Ishikawa, glanced at me, returned a smile, and disappeared into the back.
Maybe that’s the rumored helper.
[TL: Should I replace maid from helper?]
“This over here is my room.”
“U—OOOHHH”
It’s a large room. It must be at least twenty tatami mats in size. A king-sized bed is enshrined by the window, and I even see, the TV placed by the wall is huge. about 90 inches if I were to guess.
The temperature was not too cold, nor too hot, the air conditioning works just about right, making it very comfortable to be in. Checkered rug was spread on top of the wooden floor and a same size thick glass was placed on the table.
“U—OOOOHHHH”
If only I could play an Ero-AV on such a huge TV—… I mean, I wish I could play video games on such a huge TV.
“Right, Asaka. Don’t you have a father or a mother with you in here? I want to give this this to them.”
My mother handed me an assortment of Western sweets as a gift for the visit.
However, Asaka’s face clouded in reaction, as she said
“My father is at work, and my mother is busy preparing for her case, therefore is also not at home.”
“I—I see.”
This, this is bad, it looks like I’ve instead stepped on a landmine over here.
Is it like that? Since both parents are busy with their work, they find it difficult to make time for you?
I tried my best to make the atmosphere cheerful again,
“Well then, shall we eat this by ourselves then?”
“Are you sure?”
“I did it”
Beside Mio and Mahiru dancing, Asaka showed a wide and solemn smile.
“Fuu~n”
I felt relieved.
“Please sit down, ah, Yuu-san will be over here.”
Four people surround the small glass-topped table. Asaka sat next to me.
The maid brought tea at just about the right time, and so it became like having a tea time just by ourselves.
After that, we watched anime and played games on the big TV.
Although we didn’t do anything different from our normal everyday fun, Asaka seemed to be having more fun than usual.

Time before noon.
Perhaps getting tired from continuously playing from the morning, the three runts are now sleeping peacefully on the big bed.
I’m also feeling sleepy as well, but I can’t lay down on the same bed with three elementary school girl sleeping on it.
I therefore drink the rest of the coffee in order to overwrite my drowsiness, not falling asleep.
Even so, this is a huge house.
Looking outside the window, I can see the garden with a pond and a small bridge going over it.
Looking further, I also saw an old man in a coverall tending the flower-bed there. is he the gardener?
From what I can see, there are only old people in this house, be it the helper or the old-man over there.
Even though, it’s not particularly alone if someonw were to argue, but I’m sure it would be quite lonely for an only child living between all old-peope in such a large house.
“Yuu-san”
“Nnn?”
When I turned around, Asaka had waken up.
“Umm…”
“What up?”
She blushes embarrassed while slowly taking hold of my hand.
Do you want me to follow?
Holding hands with Asaka, I went out to the terrace that was visible from the outside of the house when I was coming in.
The place were you can have that big Fuji-san all to yourself.
It’s such a nice view.
“Um, Yuu-san.”
“What is it?”
I squat down and make direct eye contact with Asuka.
While wriggling her body, fidgeting, Asaka said in a voice, lot quieter than usual.
“Um… can I also call you Yuu-nii as well?”
Saying that, Asaka face turned bright red as her head lowered.
A~h so that’s it? But well, even if I think in that way as an adult, I am sure that, in the case of this young girl, she must have summoned up a lot of her courage to finally speak this out.
I pat Asuka’s head.
“Sure you can. Moreover, Mahiru had been calling me like that from the day we met you know. I’ve been waiting impatiently for Asaka to call me like that one day as well.”
Suddenly, Asaka’s face brightened.
“Ehehe, Yuu-nii”
I stood up while hugging back to the tight hug that Asaka gave me.
While being enveloped in those warm winds, the bell rang depiting it was noon.
