While I Was Shutting in My Room for One Year, My Parent Remarried and Now I’m Living Together With Super Beautiful Stepsisters

Chapter 41: Even Though They’re Triplets, They’re Different

When it came to Anzu’s situation, Momiji asked me if I didn’t think that even as triplets, there were some slight differences among them.

(Even if she asked me something like that…)

I looked toward Momiji with a troubled frown.

Of course, all three of them were unique individuals, and their differences were obvious.

At this point, this question was no different from that troublesome girl asking me, “Can you tell what’s different about me today from usual?”

As for the differences among the three of them, you would definitely figure those out after spending just a few weeks together.

Momiji was the devoted, caring big-sister type, while Yuzuna had that gal-like sharp way of speaking but was actually straightforward underneath—a real gap there—and Anzu was gentle but turned into a completely different person when it came to games.

It was exactly the kind of “variety is the spice of life” situation you read about.

“All three of you are triplets, but there really are all sorts of differences, huh?”

“Right? But the ‘differences’ I’m talking about go a lot deeper than that.”

“A lot deeper?”

Momiji took a breath before turning straight toward me.

“The truth is, we’re… dizygotic triplets.”

I couldn’t hide my surprise when this suddenly stiff term came out of Momiji’s mouth, which was usually so soft and fluffy.

Wh-whoa, that came out of nowhere… Um, dizygotic means… something about fertilized eggs, right?

I didn’t know the details all that well, but I was pretty sure dizygotic triplets were relatively rare.

“So, does that mean that even as triplets, two of you come from the same fertilized egg and end up looking similar, but one comes from a different one and is a bit off? Then the slight difference you mentioned earlier, Momiji…”

“Yeah, that’s exactly it. Yuzuna and I are from the same one, but Anzu came from a different fertilized egg. We’re triplets, but Anzu has a lot more differences from us because of that.”

Ah, I see… Only after she put it that way did it finally click for me a little.

The fact that Anzu was unusually short compared to the others, or that her breasts were so large yet her build was small overall— that must have been the reason too.

And personality-wise, while her two older sisters were both outgoing, Anzu was the reserved one, so yeah, she really did seem to have quite a few differences from her sisters.

The way Anzu kept comparing herself excessively to her two sisters, or how Yuzuna was conscious of Anzu’s body type— that must have been the cause too… right?

“We found out about it back in middle school, but ever since then, Anzu has seemed to take it to heart. It happened right around the time when developmental differences started showing up too.”

Differences… emerged.

For some reason, my gaze drifted down to Momiji’s breasts.

“Aoto-kun, you just thought something like, ‘Now they’re all huge, so any differences are irrelevant anyway,’ didn’t you?”

“N-no, I didn’t!”

Well, to be honest, that’s exactly what I had thought.

“Anzu eats a ton, unlike Yuzuna or me, and her breasts are growing to a level that might even surpass Mom’s. Yet she’s so petite and adorable. Anzu’s growth curve is just packed with potential.”

Momiji said it with the kind of pride you might have when talking about your own child.

“Doesn’t it bother you at all, Momiji? Yuzuna gets all rivalrous with Anzu because she’s conscious of it, right?”

“I’m the big sister, so I don’t mind it at all? Besides, it’s a fact that we all came into the world from Mom around the same time. That’s why Anzu is my precious little sister♡”

“Momiji… Man, you really are acting like a proper big sister, aren’t you?”

Momiji kept being a big sister without ever getting jealous of her little sister.

She was mature, or rather, Momiji really did have her convictions as an older sister.

That’s right…!

Since we’re at it, this is my chance to show some dignity as a big brother too…

“Whoa, that’s impressive, Momiji.”

I said that and reached out to pat Momiji’s head.

She was always teasing me, so this time I figured I’d return the favor— as her big brother, I’d give her a nice head pat.

Momiji might play up being Anzu’s big sister, but I had to remind her that I was the big brother to all of them.

Well, knowing Momiji, she might end up hating it and trying to pat me back instead… or so I thought.

“…………!”

“Hm? Momiji?”
