"Mya-nee! We're home!"
Hoshino Hinata was in the lead. "Please come in. This is my house."
"Ah, Hinata's back. Hello, Hana-chan and Noa-chan."
In the living room, a girl with short crimson hair in a sweatshirt walked out.
Uchiha Ryo: "Hello, Hinata's sister. I'm Hana's older brother. You can just call me Ryo."
Hoshino Miyako: "Ah... hello..."
Looking at her expression, her inability to make eye contact, and the fine beads of sweat on her face...
Are there really so many socially anxious people these days? But if we're talking about social anxiety levels, Bocchi-chan is still in a league of her own.
Hoshino Hinata: "Everyone, and Ryo-oniichan, let's go in. Are the snacks ready, Mya-nee?"
Hoshino Miyako: "Mhm..."
Why, why is there a strange man in the house! No, wait, he's Hana's older brother.
Why is Hana's older brother here?
Could it be! ——Hoshino Miyako's Fantasy Time——
Uchiha Ryo: "I hear you're always luring my Hana-chan into trying on those indecent cosplay outfits with snacks? Stay away from them in the future!"
If that's the case!
Then in the future! Then doesn't that mean I'll never get to see Hana-chan in a cosplay outfit again!
On the living room sofa, Uchiha Ryo looked at the four pieces of cheesecake on the table.
"You guys go ahead and eat. They were prepared for you, after all. I'll pass."
Hoshino Hinata: "It's fine! We can just have Mya-nee make more~"
Hoshino Miyako walked from the entryway into the living room, watching Uchiha Ryo chatting and laughing with the children.
How nice. This is how older brothers and sisters should be. Not like me... someone who gets socially anxious just talking to children.
Uchiha Ryo: "Um... Hoshino-san."
Hoshino Miyako suddenly bowed at a ninety-degree angle. "Yes! Um... I'm very sorry! I didn't mean to make Hana-chan try on those clothes. It's just... it's just! Hana-chan is just too cute!"
Oops! I accidentally said what I was thinking.
No, I'm not going to be seen as some kind of pervert, am I! Hoshino Miyako sat on the floor, completely dejected, feeling as if her whole world had turned gray.
Uchiha Ryo: "Huh?"
What was this person talking about? Why did she suddenly say all this? Hana-chan is indeed very cute.
Uchiha Ryo looked at the three little ones beside him, and Hinata ran over to her sister's side.
"Mya-nee really likes to have Hana-chan wear cute clothes, and then take pictures."
Hoshino Miyako: "Hinata!"
Hoshino Hinata: "At first, Hana-chan wasn't very willing to wear them, so Mya-nee used snacks as a trade!"
Hoshino Miyako: "Hinata!!"
Himesaka Noa sat on the sofa, puffing out her little cheeks. "Hmph, Noa is very cute too, but Miyako-oneechan only seems to like Hana-chan."
Don't say any more! Hana-chan's older brother is still here. What if he thinks I'm a suspicious person and doesn't let Hana-chan interact with me anymore!
Uchiha Ryo, however, just nodded casually. Hoshino Miyako likes the cute Hana-chan and wants to take pictures of her. Although it sounds like something a suspicious person would do...
But Hoshino Miyako was a girl, after all. She had a layer of natural protection. If a man wanted to take pictures of Hana-chan, Uchiha Ryo would definitely let him experience the feeling of the "Cutting Jutsu."
"Ah, sorry, I have to take this call."
Hoshino Miyako suddenly stood up, then walked out with her phone.
Uchiha Ryo: "By the way, is Hinata's sister a university student?"
Himesaka Noa: "Eh? A university student? Isn't she a shut-in?!"
Shirosaki Hana: "I thought she was a shut-in too. After all, I see her every time I come over."
Hoshino Hinata thought for a moment, then said with some uncertainty.
"Maybe..... Mmm, but even if Mya-nee is a shut-in, she's still my Mya-nee!"
Hoshino Miyako suddenly rushed in from outside.
"What are you guys talking about? I'm a real university student!"
Himesaka Noa shook her head. "Miyako-oneechan, it's not good to lie."
Hoshino Miyako: "I really am a university student! The call I just got was from a university classmate. She's coming over to sell a game...."
Hoshino Hinata / Uchiha Ryo: "A game?"
"Mya-nee, you have games too! What kind of game!"
Hoshino Miyako lowered her head. "I was just in charge of the costume design in the game. My classmate was in charge of producing the game. But I heard she's selling it today, so...."
Uchiha Ryo: "So what? What game did you say you're selling?!"
Hoshino Miyako was startled by Uchiha Ryo, who had suddenly spoken, and directly blurted out the content of the phone call.
"It's just that my classmate who made the game suddenly wants to sell it, and she wants to borrow my place."
Uchiha Ryo: "Oh, this is really.... Can I ask in advance what your classmate's expected selling price for the game is?"
Hoshino Miyako: "Eh? This.... her expectation is around two million yen. After all, university students have a lot of expenses. She's probably looking for a sucker to rip off."
.....
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "I've already asked over there. She is indeed planning to sell it. You can just go to this address and wait."
Uchiha Ryo: "....I'm already here."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "???"
Hanging up the phone, Uchiha Ryo smiled at Hoshino Miyako.
"What a coincidence. I'm that sucker who's going to buy the game."
Hoshino Hinata: "Mya-nee, it's not good to rip people off! So you can't make it that expensive!"
Uchiha Ryo rubbed Hinata's head. "You're absolutely right. So you'll have to help me persuade your sister's classmate to lower the price, okay~"
Hinata held her head high. "Mhm, mhm!"
Hoshino Miyako quickly shooed Hinata, Noa, and Hana away, telling them to go play in their room. It's not my game. I'm just lending her the space. The price is definitely up to the game creator!
About half an hour later, four beautiful women of varying ages walked into the Hoshino house. Hiratsuka Shizuka, the eldest, walked straight into the living room, and looked in surprise at Uchiha Ryo, who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Hiratsuka Shizuka snorted lightly, then came directly to Uchiha Ryo's side.
"What a coincidence, you brat. You're actually at the Hoshino house. But you're not the only one who wants to buy the game. Listen up, Uchiha, you must crush the other party at all costs!"
Uchiha Ryo put down his teacup. "A coincidence... it seems this game and I are truly fated. But the other buyer.... Hiratsuka-sensei, do you have a grudge against them?"
A woman with medium-length, wine-red hair in a black dress suddenly walked over.
Kosaka Akane: "You may be fated with the game, but whether you can get it is not certain. Hiratsuka Shizuka, it's been many years since we graduated. You haven't improved at all. You actually became a teacher?"
