"I was supposed to order food from outside, but I felt it would be more sincere to cook it myself. Please help yourselves!"
"Thank you, Aunt Yuna."
At the dinner table, Nanaka Kotegawa brought the small spoon of appetizer soup to her mouth, looking at Yuna Miyazawa, who was gentle like a Yamato Nadeshiko.
The rich umami flavor immediately burst in her mouth, and she naturally showed a satisfied smile.
"So fresh! The clam flavor has completely melted into the soup!"
"Because the clams are very fresh, the flavor becomes rich without boiling for too long. Yu also liked my clam soup the most when he was little, right?"
"Mhm mhm mhm!"
Called by name, Miyazawa Yu instantly tensed up, answering while carefully inching closer to Azusa Hamaoka.
He couldn't help it. Because of his momentary slip of the tongue, Takeshi Miyazawa's phone was not only snatched and checked, but he also accidentally sprained his back when he was pinned down.
The killing intent in his eyes right now suggested he wouldn't easily let a certain culprit off the hook.
Helplessly, Miyazawa Yu could only pray that this meal would pass peacefully, and that he could finish quickly and run away!
However, heaven had other plans. Just as he continuously sped up his eating, Rin Miyazawa, who usually dislikes talking, was the first to give him a righteous stab in the back.
"Nanaka-san, why do you like Onii-chan?"
"Pfft! Cough cough, Rin! Children shouldn't ask such things, eat your food obediently!"
Almost choked to death by a grain of rice, Miyazawa Yu widened his eyes and turned his head, coughing twice, quickly pretending to be serious and reprimanding the girl who had broken character from the start.
As the saying goes, silent characters must have silent character traits. Talking so much and stealing the main character's spotlight will result in a salary deduction in the theater!
"But Brother is dishonest, and he doesn't have any particular virtues. It's strange that he could get such a good girlfriend."
"Hiss, although what you're saying is all true..."
That stings a little! Miyazawa Yu never thought his Onii-chan image was completely worthless in his sister's eyes. He immediately clutched his heart in pain and criticized: "Rin! Young people, I advise you not to be too aggressive!"
"If I wasn't aggressive, I wouldn't be young, Brother..."
With an expression as calm as water but perfectly playing the role of the sharp-witted observer, Rin Miyazawa rubbed her face and forced out an I'm very curious expression.
"Damn it! It seems I've been away from home for too long. Can a mere younger sister already disregard her older brother's authority!"
"Yu~ Sit down!"
"But!"
"Oh?"
With the same curious expression as Rin, Yuna Miyazawa opened her eyes slightly—
Just Yu, after only a few days of school, is trying to disregard her authority a second time?
"Yes, I understand!"
Pressed down onto his seat by an invisible large hand, Miyazawa Yu gritted his teeth and was extremely unwilling, but when it didn't involve a matter of principle, he couldn't resist his mother's bloodline pressure.
And, what virtues did he actually possess to make both Nanaka-san and Azusa be so infatuated with him!
He was actually very curious too, but asking would risk being suspected of gaining an advantage and still showing off.
However...
"Super generous with drinking, eats very fast, takes off his clothes without hesitation..."
Although he was just whispering, the more Miyazawa Yu spoke, the more horrified his expression became, because he suddenly realized he didn't seem to have any virtues!
Excluding the two points of being able to grow large or small and his shameless soul, all he had left was a beautiful exterior!
How terrifying!!!
"Hmm... Actually, there are many things I like about Yu."
Just as Miyazawa Yu's pupils shook with fear, even feeling that he was worse than an insect on the side of the road, Nanaka Kotegawa next sentence instantly dispelled all his worries.
"Yu is a good cook, he prepares breakfast for everyone every morning, and he never holds back his strength when helping; he's willing to help with any chore! He's a very warm person!"
"Nanaka-san!"
His eyes shining with gratitude, if they weren't at home, Miyazawa Yu would want to hug Nanaka Kotegawa leg and cry a little to show his thanks!
"Oh..."
However, at the same time he was moved, the three members of the Miyazawa family looked up after hearing Nanaka Kotegawa praise.
Recalling the lazy bum who wouldn't even lift a fallen mop at home, their eyes instantly became sharp.
"Yu, you seem to have a different persona outside?"
"Onii-chan... you're a hypocrite!"
"Wait! Is this the proper attitude for family to have?"
Indeed, good people who can find his virtues like Nanaka-san are too rare!
Facing the contempt, Miyazawa Yu unhesitatingly retorted loudly, trying to maintain his good image in Nanaka-san's heart!
"Well~ and Yu is also very interesting, he has a good relationship with everyone in the club, and most importantly..."
Pinching the rim of her glass and bringing it to her mouth, Azusa Hamaoka, lost in recollection, inadvertently revealed a detail of their daily life, "Yu is very responsible. He protects everyone, no matter who it is. I really like this reassuring side of Yu!"
"Azusa-senpai!!!"
"Yu!!!"
"..."
Looking at the two who were hugging each other, both looking like I understand you, Takeshi Miyazawa was slightly moved.
Didn't he and Yuna start the same way, going through many difficulties to finally be together!
Has his child finally grown up?
Thinking this, the belt he had drawn out slightly relaxed—In that case, he would spare Yu this time...
"But what makes me happiest is the way Yu drinks in the nude. It's truly unrestrained!"
"That's right! Mom! The way I drink in the nude is very unrestrained..."
His brain stalled. Blinded by the praise, Miyazawa Yu brazenly repeated his completely unaware virtue.
However, halfway through his sentence, he froze. Is drinking in the nude really something you can say out loud?
"Um..."
Trembling, he raised his head. Facing three murderous gazes, he couldn't think of a way to cover up the lie, so he could only—
"Ehehe~☆"
"I apologize, I'll take Yu away for a moment and bring him right back..."
"Wait! Let's discuss this! Azusa!!!"
Witnessing Miyazawa Yu being dragged away by Aunt Yuna without any resistance, even after tearing his shirt, Azusa Hamaoka belatedly drank the beverage in her cup to calm her nerves.
The barley tea, which had no alcohol content, went down her throat, and she looked at Nanaka with a strained smile.
"I think I messed up, haha..."
"Yu should be fine, right?"
"He'll be fine. Brother survived being double-teamed frequently before. Now that his body is sturdy, Mother should be able to enjoy herself more."
Politically correctly refilling the guests' barley tea, Rin Miyazawa had no sense of being the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Two sisters, I don't have anything good to give you for our first meeting, so please accept these two bunny dolls. They were my handcraft homework!"
"Can we take them? Arigato! In that case..."
Surprised, Azusa Hamaoka accepted the delicate bunny dolls, amazed by the artistic talent of the wealthy family's child. She couldn't fall behind either!
"This! A prize won from the Pab Club school festival. Rin can come and visit us in Izu anytime!"
"That's right, just stay at Grand Blue, with Yu."
Searching her entire body for something she could give away, Nanaka Kotegawa thought for a moment and then took off the necklace with Chisa photo, a similar one of which she had three or four homemade copies.
"Thank you, sisters. But isn't Onii-chan staying in the sea-view tower next to the Izu building?"
"Uh..."
The smile on her face froze. Nanaka Kotegawa realized she might have revealed something she shouldn't have and quickly stammered: "Because of some reason..."
"So, is Brother cohabiting with Nanaka-san now?!"
"Uh... actually, there are other people living together too."
Any explanation would be pale and powerless now. All Nanaka Kotegawa could do was minimize the impact, otherwise, if the fact that they hadn't successfully moved into the apartment after the start of the semester was exposed...
"I see. Yu, did you give back the apartment we reserved for you?"
Outside the dining room door, Miyazawa Yu, kneeling obediently on the floor, shouted loudly: "I'm sorry! The monthly payment for the tower was too expensive; I absolutely could not afford it! That's why I resorted to this desperate measure!"
"Are you sure you weren't too busy playing around after starting university and forgot the move-in date?"
"Ahaha, Mom, what are you saying? I had to have somewhere to sleep after the semester started, right!"
As expected of the big Boss of a large conglomerate, she instantly smelled the lie. But Miyazawa Yu was already committed and could only stubbornly refuse to let the secret out.
"Is that so..."
Scrolling through the Izu University forum on her phone, Yuna Miyazawa effortlessly found the Seven Great Horrors of Izu University on the homepage.
The cover of the first one was the public nudity she was all too familiar with—
[Shocking: Four perverts sleeping in front of the main auditorium, one of whom is suspected to be the Cow Warrior! Is this a distortion of human nature or a moral depravity!]
Squatting down and showing the phone screen, the belt in Takeshi Miyazawa's hand beside her was already cracking eagerly.
"Is there anything you want to explain?"
"Don't hit my face! I have a romantic confession later, please, please!"
It's a death whether you fight or not. Miyazawa Yu decided to fully embrace the chaos.
Embrace the mess!
