Shitty brats and Typhoon

“Mio, pick up that hammer. Asaka, Yuu-nii only got a few points left. Blow him into slithereens.”
“Okay.”
“Got it.”
“Wait right there, damn it! Ahh!”
On the 90-inch screen, my character was blown away to the other end of the universe.
“Hahaha, again Yuu–nii is the last place.”
Mio exclaimed, rising up dominant with her controller.
“Yuu–nii, you’re really so weak.”
Mahiru said with a tired [yare-yare] look.
“Yuu-nii, do you want to have some snacks?”
Asaka offered a bag of snacks.
Today we were playing at Asaka’s home. As usual, Asaka was here alone with her maid in this big house. Her parents were both at work and had not been home for several days already.
“Sh**t, you guys are only targeting me. What kind of teamwork is that? This game is not 1v3, it’s a battle royale, you know?”
“That’s what they call a loser’s howling, you know?”
While putting up a cheeky smile on her face, Mahiru looked up at me. This shitty brat, should I just brush her fall out of my lap this instant.
“I’m really mad now, I’ll show you my true colors.”
“What’s going to change just by changing the color of your character?” Mio asked.
“When I’m serious, I’ll make it red. Remember well, you guys have angered me. Watch me unleash the full extent of my skills from now on, which I’ve been honing since I was in first grade.”
I was known as ‘The Red Fox Yuu’ among my friends. I would show these cheeky brats the power of an adult at max.
“Arre, it’s started to rain.”
Mio jumped to the window.
I could start hearing the sound of rain hitting the roof by now. Come to think about it, just a moment ago, the wind had also started taking speed.
“Aah, don’t you guys know? Tonight, there is a typhoon coming.”
“A typhoon?”
“Come on now, Mahiru, get off me.”
“Eh, no way.”
“Jeez.”
“Let me go, Hentaiii!”
I got up picking up Mahiru from my lap and walked to the window pane, holding her tightly. The rain was falling lightly in the garden while the wind was strong. The trees and plants in the garden were occasionally being swayed up by the wind.
“It’s not raining that hard yet. Although the wind has got strong. Asaka, can you turn on the news for a moment?”
“Sure.”
The screen switched to the local news in the evening. And just right now, they were giving a report on the typhoon.
“According to the forecast, Typhoon ** is expected to make landfall in Japan tonight. ――It’s expected path would be――”
Inside the big screen, the announcer was narrating information regarding the Typhoon. The direct hit was expected to be in the Tokai region, but it would reach its peak on the coming Friday ―― and by the start of the Saturday morning, it will change its direction and move towards Kanto.
“Typhoon!”
Mio spun around.
“…We’ll leave before it gets worse than it already is.”
“Eh? It’s only 4:30.”
Mahiru starts struggling in my arms.
“It’s already 4:30. First of all, since today was a Typhoon incoming, I had already thought of returning home early.”
“I can’t stand this anymore.”
“So that’s why you were telling us to bring Umbrellas along with us?”
“Eh, will you leave for home already?”
Asaka pinches my shirt sadly.
“It can’t be helped, can it? Before the rain gets really bad and it becomes almost impossible to return anymore, we must get out after all. Here now, Mio, Mahiru; start packing up and get ready to leave.”
“Ei”
“Hoi”
As I was telling them to get ready, the rain began to get heavier and heavier. By the time we were about to leave Asaka’s house, it was already pouring buckets.
“See ya, Asaka. Bye-bye.”
“See you tomorrow. Bye-bye.”
“Bye-bye.”
“Ou~, later again.”
Ruffling up Asaka’s hair, I stepped outside.
Well then, all that’s left is to send these two brats home safely.
“Rain~, Rain~.”
“Wow, it’s flooding.”
“Hey, Mahiru, don’t go peeking under the bridge. You’ll die if you slip up.”
I hugged Mahiru close, trying hard to go by.
“Flood!”
The river’s water level rose and became murky.
“Look, look! It’s like I could fly in the wind!”
Mio’s umbrella swayed wildly in the wind, making her shiver involuntarily.
“Hey, baka. Mahiru, don’t sway around that much.”
I just can’t take his eyes off them even for a second.
These two really don’t have enough sense of crisis in them yet.
Even when I was a kid, I was way more careful.
“Listen ok, don’t let go of my hand in any circumstances.”
I held onto Mio and Mahiru’s hands and supported the umbrella with my neck.
“It’s just raining, Yuu-nii is really being a scaredy-cat.”
“Mahiru, Yuu-nii nearly drowned in the river when he was little you know.”
“What kind of story is that? I’m hearing this for the first time.”
“Shut up. Come on, let’s go already.”
In this way, I sent Mio and Mahiru home while using more caution than usual, and later, also returned home safely.
Or so I thought.

“No, it’s not here as well,”
My smartphone was missing.
Could it be that I dropped it somewhere in this heavy rain?
No, calm down me. Maybe I just forgot it at Asaka’s house.
Right, come to think of it, they begged me to let them play games on my phone. Then they got bored and went out to play, got bored again and then started playing video games on T.V. …
I began to recall the thread of my memories.
Right, that’s right. It should be at Asaka’s house.
Just to be sure, let me call my number from home. I waited nervously as the call connected, and on the other side, Asaka’s voice answered.
“Yes?”
“Oh Asaka right?”
“Yuu-nii? Fufu~ You’ve forgotten your phone here.”
“Thank God, say, that’s my phone, right?”
“Yes.”
I looked out the window.
The rain was already quite heavy, but if I return home right away, it should be all okay.
“I’ll be coming to get it right asap.”
“Eh? Is that really okay?”
“Easy. Peasy. Just wait for me.”
And so, I went out of my home like that…

I shouldn’t have come after all.
The rain intensified minute by minute, and by the time I got near Asaka’s house, it was already pouring down like a fog. The wind blew without a specific direction, going left and right, and the umbrella I had was just useless. The river, which had seemed like flooding before, now looked cute in comparison to how rough it was now.
Asaka’s house was halfway up on the small hill with a slope, and a road continues with the slope uphill.
The slope was moderate, and water constantly flowed down from above, so if I fell, I would probably be swept away all the way down.
It was like a natural water slide.
“Ugh, UOH.”
If I’ve come this far already, there’s no turning back now.
I spent twice as much time as usual and finally made it to Asaka’s house.
“Haah, haah.”
I finally arrived.
“Yuu-nii, are you okay?”
Asaka greeted me at the door.
“You’re soaking wet.”
“I-I’m fine.”
“Here, your smartphone.”
“Mou~. Thanks a lot. Well then, let’s give it one more pus–whoa!”
In front of the door had already become a different world altogether.
The wind was so strong that it might be just hard to even stand, while the rain was like several buckets being turned over all at once. The sun had set, and I couldn’t even see a few meters ahead.
D-did I really walk through this?
“Yuu-nii, are you really going home through this? It’s really dangerous.”
Asaka’s face stiffened in anxiety.
“Y-yeah. But I have no choice.”
I should have just asked Asaka to take care of my phone back then and come tomorrow to get it. I regretted my previous decision immediately.
Maybe I should have my parents come pick me up in their car…no, can the car even drive in a storm like this?
I guess I should just walk home?
Mixed in with the wind and rain, I heard the sterile voice of a wireless broadcast.
『――From the police station, we have an announcement regarding a missing person.――』
“Uugh…”
So there are missing persons out there.
Fear rises within me from the bottom of my feet. But there’s no other choice than to go back home.
It was at that moment, “Right.” When Asaka spoke up energetically,
“Wh–what’s up?”
“Since tomorrow is a day off, why don’t you just stay back at my place?”
“eh?”
