Within the drawing room of the Renford Mansion, Sunni, Yokie, Red and I are sitting on a settee. Sitting across from us are our parents, (Well, mine aren’t here in person, but you get what I’m saying.) who look upon us with fond expressions.
“Well, you four, today is the day.”, Uncle Halman says, smiling. “From now on, you’ll all be living together.”
“I can’t believe that our youngest is already moving out, Dear!”, Mrs.Chikara says, sounding slightly tearful.
“Don’t worry, my darling. She’ll be with Daisuke-kun, so everything will be fine.”
Mr.Chikara reassures his wife with a gentle pat on the back. Like they said, from this day onward, we’ll all be living together under one roof.
“I still can’t believe that Govvy ended up being such a pyer! I’m so shocked!”, Aunt Sofia trills.
“Do you all remember when he was five years old and he said how all of the girls were afraid of him?”, Dad asks merrily. “Look how things have changed! Ahahaha!”
“Oh, that’s right! Poor Govvy looked so sad that day!”, Mum pouts.
“And Arianne was all pouty that he was paying attention to other girls. She’s been stuck on him forever, hasn’t she?”
“Geez, Papa! Don’t bring up such embarrassing details.”
Sunni pouts at her father, unconsciously proving his words to be the truth. Oba continues reminiscing with her own memories of that day.
“His mood got a lot better when Yoko came up to him though. ‘Aniki, carry me, pwease!’. Oh, that was so adorable~~~!”
Yokie doesn’t protest like Sunni did, but her face does flush a shade of bright pink. I chuckle at her reaction, patting her on the head gently. Akane frowns, clearly displeased, but it’s not because of me showing Yokie affection.
“I don’t have any memories like that with Daisuke-nii. How unfair.”
“Oh? But what about he bought you that hairband that you always-”, Mr.Chikara begins.
“I-I-I didn’t say that I wanted them to be talked about, Tou-chan! Stop!”, she stammers.
The adults ugh wholeheartedly, making Red blush even harder than Yokie previously. Of course, I stroke her head as well to comfort her a little.
But living alone together, eh? That means that we can do all manner of scivious deeds without need of being discovered or interrupted. However, I, being a man of integrity, will not falter before such carnal desires. I already promised that I wouldn’t partake in the act of shagging until I’m at least twenty-one.
No matter how hard it’ll be to endure, I shall not yield! I’ll be a good example for Yuno, Yuuma and Take! Ah, speaking of that.
“I guess that I’ll have to leave earlier if I want to be on time when I go to the Hisakawa Temple now that I’m living back in the house now, eh?”, I presume.
Immediately, my girls round on me, giving me dark looks that can only bode well.
“You seem quite intent on going there, Aniki..”
“That Nekobaba again..? When I get my hands on her, I swear…”
“Govvy, illicit retionships are forbidden, you know..?”
Well, I can guess that formally introducing Shizuku-san to these three would go swimmingly, wouldn’t it?
“What’s this about Hisakawa Temple?”, Dad queries.
“It’s where the homewrecker lives!”, Akane pipes up.
“Homewrecker?! Oh my!”, Aunt Sofia gasps.
A heated discussion breaks out, a discussion that I can’t get word in edgewise on. Which is nice.
Surely, this won’t cause any misunderstandings at all.
“So, you’re pnning on giving us another daughter-in-w, Govvy?”, Dad asks intently.
See? What did I say? There was nothing to fear…
“Listen, I’m going to do anything like that, alright?”, I sigh.
“Really?”
I open my mouth to reaffirm what I said and clear my name, but-
(“...I wouldn’t feel good about doing that to you…”)
A certain heart-fluttering memory comes to mind, causing me to hesitate briefly. And of course, that brief moment of uncertainty was all that was needed.
“Four! Four wives!”, Oji guffaws. “What a handful!”
Once again, a heated discussion between our parents breaks out, and the girls begin muttering dark, evil threats towards Shizuku-san’s well-being.
Alright, sarcasm be damned, that was entirely my fault.
