When I, a streamer with some more than 10 registered subscribers, announced my retirement with a face-reveal; as all my viewers were the Madonnas of the school, I ended up losing my current place at school all in all. - 29_TF？

29_TF？

“TF?”

That, ‘TF?’ expression that came out of my mouth was the natural response I gave out when I heard the words my father had just uttered.

Similarly, Akane’s eyes widened and she glanced at my father and me alternately continuously with a glistening look in her eyes.

[TL: maybe tears (is what this MC thinks)]

So I am Mom’s child while Akane is my Dad’s child?

Isn’t that supposed to be the other way around?

To be honest, it’s not that he’s not cool or that, but my father isn’t a very attractive guy.

From such a father, a beauty like Akane came out?

I just can’t imagine that. My guess would be that Akane’s real mother, who is related to Akane by blood, must have been an extraordinary beautiful girl without a doubt.

If so, then my father is surely amazing. I don’t want to know what happened to make him divorce her, but I can’t believe that he married two consecutive beauties women one after the other.

“No wonder you’re both surprised.”

Well, that’s about right. I’m already a sophomore in high school.

Indeed, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t surprised, but I don’t think it’s proper to make a big fuss about it according to my age.

Akane has only just graduated from junior high school, so it seems she is unable to accept the reality of the situation readily.

Maybe that is why she had her eyes unusually sparkling right now, as if she was getting anxious about the future.

[TL: why do I think it’s different…]

“I was about 16 years ago when your mother and I got married. Hiroto at that time was was just one year old while Akane had just been born. It’s natural that you both do not remember. I’m sorry for keeping this from you both until now. I had thought about it with your mother that, after Akane entered into high school, we will disclose this to both of you.”

I think it is a wonderful choice to decide disclosing us this after she entered high school.

Saying it when she is in high school and has a more matured mind is absolutely much better than saying it when she was still in middle school, with her mind still somewhat immature.

My father and mother must have gone through a lot of pain during this time.

“Shall I tell you the story of how me and your mother met?”

“Absolutely not!”

I dismissed his suggestion with a ridiculous barb.

I had been watching him make out so much with mom on a regular basis, I just cannot stand it if he would then start telling me about how they both love birds met.

“Is that so, I think it’s interesting quite interesting and funny though.”

No need, no need, no need, no need.

No demand will be concluded.

I got nothing to gain from it at all.

It was way heavier talk than I had anticipated, and it exhausted my mind in a different way.

“Dad, I. Can I start preparing for the dinner?

“Ye~ah, today, I’ll also be eating dinner together with everyone. So I will be in your care.”

“Roger that.”

Hurriedly, I went to the kitchen and began to get ready in the ingredients with swift motions.

“Umm, father?”

“Nn? What’s wrong, Akane?”

“I, about how father and mother met. I’m really curious about it.”

Eh, Akane. You are curious about the story of how Dad and Mom met?”

[TL: How I met your mother, lol.]

Ehhh, just from where does that interest even come from?

Well, it’s not like I am someone to criticize about other people’s hobbies, but still …

Anyways, since I don’t want to listen to such stories in any possible way, so I’ll just put on the earphones in both ears and cook while watching movies or listening to music.

—————————

“A-Ha-ha-ha.”

I was cooking while watching a comedy show by a famous duo called the Sand(wich)-peanut Man.

The Sand(wich)-peanut Man combination was just too funny after all. To think and create such a gag, just how much of a genius they must be.

It was so funny that I couldn’t help but laugh out loud from the bottom of my stomach and heart.

Ah, this episode is over. Must start the next video asap.

…..

“Hey, Hiroto.”

Nn? Was my name called just now?

When I looked up at the front, I saw my father and Akane staring daggers at me.

Eh, Did I do something wrong in anyway?

Removing the earphones from both ears, I asked my father as to what exactly he wanted to talk to me about.

“Perhaps, there is something that will surprise even more that the previous conversation, so best you hear it out as well.”

Something even more surprising than the conversation before?

Just don’t tell me anything about your weird love life. It makes me sick from the bottom of my stomach.

Following my father’s hand gestures, I sat down again in the seat I had just previously occupied.

“This will definitely surprise both Hiroto and Akane alike. But don’t tell your mother that I told you both about it, got it.”

Dad ‘shhh–ied’ with his index finger put straight against his closed mouth.

“Me and your Mom, no, more like along with her maiden name being Uminagi, Toa actually…”

Wha—? Her maiden name was Uminagi? Wasn’t she’s supposed to be Uminagi after marrying father.

“Got married with each other as step-brothers and stepsisters, just like the both of you right now.”

That kind of detail, I absolutely didn’t wish to hear…
