Being the older one, the option of looking over the youngest child was of course the proper and unpunishable one.
That night, Godou was fortunate to have Hikari present as they walked along the road to the meeting place of the Christmas party. The twelve year-old girl by his side was cheerfully smiling.
“Hey onii-sama, I don’t mind if you have to rely on me during times like these.”
She cheerfully spoke with a tone of reliability that also seemed to make him feel his future was bleak.
Within the living room of the Kusanagi household, his sister Shizuka spoke while holding back her rage.
“All the way up until this year, I had always monitored onii-chan very closely so he doesn't stray to the path of evil.”
“Turn evil? Godoh-kun is a proper and well-behaved kid.”
Revealing a warm smile, the person who joyously spoke was Koudzuki Sakura.
It could be said that she was the equivalent of a relative to Godou and Shizuka.
“Only the aspect of a proper child holds true. However, onii-chan is definitely not a well-behaved child! Throughout the many generations of men in the Kusanagi family, the only one who showed any capabilities was grandpa. That person took care of onii-chan ever since he was in kindergarten. Furthermore, the misbehaving bloodline that wasn't even cured during any of the generations had been inherited from father!”
"Hehehe, grandpa and Genzou-san are both outgoing people."
Towards Shizuka who was getting more and more agitated as she spoke, Sakura calmly nodded along the entire time.
"If you just mean outgoing then that's fine, but those two are definitely indecent people. Despite onii-chan being an honest and decent person, he gives people the impression that he is firmly on the path of going rogue. Jeez, how come all the men within the family are so troublesome..."
"I see, looks like there's a steady trend of people being born like this."
Upon hearing Shizuka despairingly comment, the girl by her side who was attentively listening acted as if she was well-versed in these matters.
"That's totally like Goro-san, no wait, really this is typical of Godou-san's family lineage!"
"Oh, Sakura's friend is here. Do you know onii-chan?"
After being inquired from Shizuka, the young girl——No, Renjou Fuyuhime lowered her head while having three fingers resting on the tatami.
From the looks of it, compared to Shizuka who was in her third year at middle school, Fuyuhime clearly looked much younger even though she was in her first year of college.
“I’m the heir to the Renjou family, Fuyuhime. I believe that in the future I will have some serious “business-like” dealings with your onii-sama. I’ll be in your care.”
“Eh? Business-like?”
“Yes, if it is specifically a “contractual marriage” or even just a “sham marriage”, I wouldn't mind at all. I just want to climb higher, attain a higher position. I must achieve an even higher rank than my childhood friend Kaoru!”
“Eh?”
“Ha ha, Fuyuhime-chan has recently been going on and on about that. If her relation with Godou-kun gets better, she could rise above others or something.”
“W-W-W-W-Wait a second, how could someone so young be saying something like this!?”
“No, I’m already a college student! I’m the equivalent of a mature woman!”
Sakura naturally chuckled. Because Fuyuhime’s dilemma of having the outer appearance of a little girl, there was a dwelling fear in her statement. Fuyuhime pouted, stating that she was a mature woman.
At this time, Tokunaga Asuka, a resident who lives nearby, showed up.
“It’s still as rowdy as ever. Is there a party today? Here, this is for you guys.”
She was the childhood friend of the Kusanagi siblings and the daughter of the owner of a sushi store (Toku Sushi). She appeared to be well acquainted with them to be freely able to open the front entrance. Gazing inside the house, she handed over the sushi container.
“Asuka-chan, excellent! I just so happen to be looking for an assistant!”
Shizuka walked out the door and collected the sushi container. Hence, the pigtailed childhood friend revealed a distressed expression and replied apologetically.
“Ah... I’m sorry. Later today there is going to be a Christmas girls only gathering. I’m going to go karaoking with my single friends. Shizuka-chan, even though it is a long, arduous battle, you must persevere.”
“Eh——. Recently, onii-chan's level of uselessness has been increasing three times faster.”
Towards her older friend, Shizuka puffed out her cheeks in anger like she normally does.
“There’s no way I can single-handedly maintain the front lines. Absolutely no way.”
“However, aren't all the girls who are well acquainted with Godou gathered together? It seems very tiresome, so please allow me to decline——eh?”
Behind the stiffly smiling Asuka, a girl wearing an apron walked in.
“I’m sorry, I forgot my manners.”
The girl wearing the maid attire deeply bowed, took her shoes off at the doorway, and entered the Kusanagi household. She speedily walked into the kitchen.
Her silhouette and footsteps really gave off the impression of a capable person.
“T-The maid just now, who was she? E-Even today she wants to cosplay!?”
“That isn't cosplay. Don’t you know? That person is a maid within Godou’s ‘good friend’ Erica’s family.”
“There... There’s actually people like this gathering here? Goodness gracious, what the hell does that guy plan on doing!?”
Asuka suddenly became furious after being provoked by the arrival of the unexpected person.
“Shizuka-chan, I withdraw my previous statement. Once I’m pretty much through with karaoking I’ll come back here. Before then you must keep at it by yourself. You mustn't let that guy have his moment of glory!”
If Godou were to hear his childhood friend’s proclamation, he definitely would have said something along these lines.
I have absolutely no idea what kind of glory you’re talking about... Rather, every day is full of troubling and stressful issues...
On the other hand, within the busy party prep kitchen of the Kusanagi household.
“No... I guess Japan is better after all. Living here even cleanses the soul.”
The person who sighed was Lu Yinghua who just made his return yesterday.
He was sitting at the kitchen table with the responsibility of peeling the skins of the vegetables. Incidentally, he didn't use the easy to use peeler, opting to use a kitchen knife instead.
“I don’t care what happens, it’s great to be far away from master. I would never be able to experience this kind of liberating feeling in mainland China. Even in Hong Kong there would be guys in connection with master.”
He spoke while peeling non-stop.
Furthermore, he was not only fast but accurate as well. His vegetable peeling surpassed the speed and precision of any machine. He didn't even cut one millimeter into the body of the carrots and potatoes.
There were three girls looking on in awe of his prowess.
These were the girls who cooked today’s dishes in the kitchen, Liliana, Yuri, and Ena.
“Lu Yinghua... Your cooking abilities are rather superb aren't they?”
“Almost like a professional... No, I think even specialists who are this skilled are quite rare.”
“And while clearly using a hard to peel tool...”
Lu Yinghua was just cutting up the ingredients.
Being the older one, the option of looking over the youngest child was of course the proper and unpunishable one.
