Chapter 31: The Saeki Sisters Were Far More Useless Than I Imagined

Arriving at Saeki’s apartment, we entered through the immaculate entrance, resembling a high-end hotel, and took the elevator up to the Saeki sisters’ floor.

“This is the room.”

“E-Excuse me…”

Following the Saeki sisters, I stepped into the apartment.

“Whoa…”

The living room was spacious. The chic furniture, a black leather sofa in front of a huge TV, and a pristine white open kitchen without a single water stain added to the luxurious atmosphere.

“The kitchen is spotless. Saeki doesn’t cook, so… did her sister clean it?”

“Hey, Okami-kun, making such biased comments isn’t good.”

“It’s not bias, it’s a fact. You only think about grilling meat.”

“Well, Mishiro’s the same way.”

Saeki pointed at her sister.

“The sister is… yeah, she’s probably hopeless too.”

“Annoying. I don’t want to hear that from an introvert like you.”

“Too bad, Mishiro.”

“Did you forget he said we’re both the same?”

Before another sibling quarrel could start, I quickly shifted the topic back to the immaculate kitchen.

“So, since neither of you use this kitchen, it’s clean because you don’t cook, right?”

“Yes, our mother probably cleaned it before going abroad.”

Thinking they’d use it, their mother had left it spotless… yet these two…

“So what do you two eat without cooking? Frozen meals?”
“Food delivery.”

“Food delivery? Eating all that stuff is bad for your health.”

“”??””

The Saeki sisters exchanged glances, as if to say, “What’s this guy talking about?.”

“Honestly, it’s a wonder you two don’t gain weight.”

“…My sister’s gained a bit.”

“I have not.”

“…I saw you in shock on the scale after your bath the other day.”

“Well, aren’t your breasts getting bigger lately, Mishiro? I think too big isn’t good.”

“Shut up… if you mention my boobs again, even as my sister, I won’t forgive you.”

“Same here…”

As the Saeki sisters glared at each other, I washed my hands and started unpacking the groceries. I needed to prepare a lot, so I put the perishable items in the fridge.

“…Okami, what should I do first?”

The sister spoke to me after their stare-down ended.

“First, wash your hands and put on an apron. Saeki, too.”

“…Hmph, I know without you telling me.”

She’s got a lot of nerve for someone who was just fighting.

Mishiro brought aprons for all of us, and we put them on in front of the open kitchen.

“If your mom comes back and sees this clean sink, she’ll know you only ate delivery food and get mad.”

“”……””

The Saeki sisters froze while putting on their aprons.

“Mishiro, let’s mess it up later.”

“Got it.”

They’re hopeless sisters after all.

“Okami… I want takoyaki soon.”

“I know. First, we need to make the batter—”

Suddenly, my phone rang.

“Oh, a call… it’s Tamari.”

“…Go ahead and take it.”

“O-Okay. Sorry.”

I left the living room, answering the phone as I walked to the entrance.

“Hello? Tamari?”

“Hey Kotoku-kun, are you fine?”

Tamari’s cheerful voice came from the phone.

“Hawaii is awesome! Kotoku-kun should’ve come too!”

“Why would I go on the Michifuji family trip when I’m not family?”

“Dad said you’re family now and it’s fine! He even said we could share a room… kyaa!”
like

“Shut up. I’m hanging up.”

“Well, joking aside, I’ll bring you a souvenir from Hawaii next time.”

The call ended abruptly.

Tamari, calling me with this nonsense just because she’s excited in Hawaii…

Sighing, I returned to the living room, where the Saeki sisters, eager and wearing aprons and triangular bandanas, were holding bowls and spatulas.

“Oh, you’re doing… huh?!”

I was stunned by what I saw.

T-TTT-This two…

“This batter isn’t forming.”

“…Sister, is this defective?”

The Saeki sisters were mixing only takoyaki flour in the bowl with spatulas.

“Oh, Okami-kun… you’re back? We’re doing fine.”

“No, you’re not! You can’t make batter with just flour! Even a candy-making kit needs water!”

“”……””

The Saeki sisters exchanged glances and then stared at me.

“W-What’s with those defiant eyes?”

“…It’s a joke. We know batter can’t form with just flour.”

“Yeah, Okami… my sister’s right.”

The sisters’ said, striking a pose. (I want to go home.)
