Love comes before Lust?

"So, can you tell us more about the people you are living with, Mi-kun?"

Gabriel asked Mike who is currently sitting in her lap. After Gabriel stopped crying, she and Mike went to Michael who just smiled happily at them. And Gabriel requested Mike to sit in her lap to which Mike complied. And so, Mike is happily enjoying Gabriel's lap while using her breasts as his pillow. Michael is just doing 'Yare Yare' at the scene and sipping his tea.

"Hmm... Where should I start? Well, let's just start with her. The weirdest girl is the one who asked me to become her husband the moment she met me. And she has all the perverted knowledge in the world. I thought it was just infatuation at first sight but I don't know how but she currently has a deep, really deep crush on me. So deep that she is okay with being hurt since it will make me worry about her. She already started calling me 'hubby'"

Michael choked on the tea and Gabriel's grip around Mike tightened but Mike continued.

"The second girl who has a crush on me is a closet pervert tomboy. I accidentally mistook her for a guy and removed her shorts so that we can bath together which earned me the title 'Lucky Pervert'. And the tomboy's mother is already asking me for grandchildren and her father is comparatively normal."

Michael looked at Mike with a complicated expression and Gabriel's grip around Mike tightened yet again but her wings didn't flicker this time. So, Mike continued.

"And finally, the parents of the weirdest girl. The mother and father are perverted like the daughter. The father wants me to become the Harem King which he wasn't able to become and he says that I have the necessary skills to become one. And the daughters are already okay with sharing me."

The moment Mike stopped talking, Michael was staring at him. Gabriel gripped Mike even tighter and shouted.

"No! They are trying to corrupt my Mi-kun. I can't allow this! Mi-kun, find some other place!"

And on the other hand, Michael expressed his concern.

"Mike, are you sure that Azazel isn't somehow involved with those families? They are trying really hard to make you fall for lust."

Michael couldn't hide their worried expressions. Mike just laughed and assured him that it wasn't the case. And he turned towards Gabriel after that.

"It's alright, onee-chan. I won't get corrupted. I am a believer in 'love comes before lust'. And I as of now can't define what romantic love is. Some say that lust is necessary to fall in love but even people who believe babies come from storks or kissing make them pregnant can fall in love! So, lust isn't necessary to fall in love! So, I will stick to my belief. So, if they have to make me commit lust, they have to make me fall for them."

After listening to Mike's explanation. Gabriel was a little relieved but Michael couldn't help but sigh. Mike is a genius. And a common trait of geniuses is curiosity. So, Mike tries to define romantic love. Since it is the angels' teaching that love is pure and lust is sin. Mike decided that he will commit lust after being purely in love with his partner. Because Michael can't deny that logic, he is worried about Mike's love life. But Mike continued what he was saying.

"But I know one thing, if I must marry someone and start a family at this moment, I would marry onee-chan. Because you are the person I love the most."

Hearing this, Gabriel couldn't help but blush. Her wings started shining brightly.

"Marrying Mi-kun... Becoming his wife... Having Mi-kun's baby... Starting a family with Mi-kun... Hehe... Hehehe..."

She went to cloud nine. At this moment, Michael called out to Mike.

"Mike..."

"Yes, Nii-chan?"

"Are you sure that you are not being influenced by that family?"

"Huh? Yes, I am. Why do you ask that?"

He pointed to Gabriel who is still imagining her future with Mike. Gabriel came back from cloud nine.

"Hehehe... Mi-kun, onee-chan is happy at your confession. When Mi-kun is mature enough, let's get married and start a family."

"No, Onee-chan, I don't think you heard it right. I said that's what I would do if I 'must' decide 'at this moment'"

"Hehehe... Mi-kun wants onee-chan to be his bride~~ Mi-kun wants Onee-chan to be his bride~~"

Gabriel isn't in a state of listening. Well, it's more like she doesn't want to listen. Mike gave up since it is the truth. Mike would marry Gabriel if he has to marry at the moment. But Mike refuses to accept this love towards Gabriel as romantic love because Mike would only marry Gabriel if he has to marry someone which would make Gabriel an option for him.

Mike doesn't like the idea of making the person he loves the most as an option for his romantic love since it would be an insult for that person. Mike doesn't want his sister to be an option for him and she must become his one and only choice. Only then, he can accept that he romantically loves her.

Anyway, Michael asked Mike about the Hyoudou family again. Mike smiled and said

"They decided that I will be staying with them once they found out that I am alone and convinced Gramps easily. And so, I am currently staying with them which easily allows me to be undercover since I am staying with a family instead of some hotel or house that I bought. Don't worry, Nii-chan. They are weird but they are really good people."

Michael was convinced by Mike's words. He started smiling again. "How's life with them?"

"It is fun. We went fishing the other day. I caught a big one. Some of the games I play with the girls are fun except some games like 'House'..."

Michael couldn't understand the bitter expression Mike made when he said 'house'. Mike also omitted a lot from the fishing incident like Nozomi's comments when Mike caught that fish. 'Wow! Hubby, yours is so big. It is slimy and twitching. I can't wait to have a taste of it.' Gorou fell into the river and Touji choked on his drink after hearing that comment while the women did 'Ara-ara' and Miki asked Nozomi to wait until they are mature. And as for Irina, she kept staring at Mike's crotch with a blush for a while.

Not knowing about this, Gabriel and Michael were glad that Mike is having fun and wished to meet that family someday. Mike chatted with his siblings for a bit more time and went back to Earth.
