"Ayase will take care of you at home all day. However, you should still thank your sister too." Mom said.
When his mother spoke to him, he recovered and nodded. While nodding, he can't help thinking of something.
'Does it mean taking care of myself as a babysitter? However, shouldn't she have gone out shopping with her friends?'
Junichirou looked at Ayase who was sitting next to him, but Ayase turned around and glared at him. Her face was calm, but she was full of unkindness.
'She was a little strange, how could she feel so much more fierce than before? Furthermore, it would be wrong to say that she was a Tsundere…'
But before he could speak, his mother said again:
"Don't stop talking like you used to, you brothers and sisters have to get along well. Today Ayase made a special dish that you like."
Junichirou replied, "I know, I will thank Ayase!"
He then speeds up his eating to show how much he likes the dish. Although the food is different from what he used to eat, He still likes Japanese food to the point that it is his favorite.
"Eat slowly, these are your favorite takoyaki (octopus balls)." Mom's voice came, and she picked up some balls for him.
I have to say here that Junichirou always feels that he is not on his own at home.
He is a little flattered now. As he held his favorite small octopus balls and watched them carefully, he could see the thick sauces and its golden skin.
'It shouldn't be poisonous, right? Hmm, no, how could my little angel Ayase be as evil as that?'
Maybe he didn't notice that she was really his younger sister all this time. The dishes on the table are his favorite dishes, and Ayase cooks the dishes at night.
'Does that mean there is still a chance for recovery in our somewhat broken relationship?'
He had an idea, but he couldn't say it. Chewing in his mouth, thinking in his heart.
'I really want to get along well with Ayase, so I don't know when I can reconcile with Ayase. Especially after that…'
It is easy to maintain a relationship, but it is not easy to find a way to start it.
Thinking so, He repeatedly persuaded himself to solve this quickly and don't be a tortoise and pretend not to know what is happening. Wait... I think it is the rabbit.
'If this is not solved quickly, he and Ayase will definitely not get together forever…'
'Deal with it right away, right away!'
Junichirou let out a deep breath.
"Let's talk."
He opens his mouth. However, he still couldn't say the word "father".
'Well, forget it, just take it as if they are your adoptive father and mother.'
"Now, Dad," Junichirou asked casually.
"Are there any old newspapers and magazines? I happen to have some magazines and newspapers to throw away. I will take them and throw them away together."
He said while gesturing to his father in ways only a male knows what it means.
"Do you still read the newspaper?" Mom asked with a strange expression.
Junichirou is overjoyed since he has been waiting for these words.
He pretended to be calm and said as casually as possible: "Just some 18 banned newspapers."
The drop of a needle can be heard for a while in the dining room.
Think about it. Ask your father for his 18-forbidden collection, or ask your sister if you want to see what the 18-forbidden looks like.
'Well, that's probably that kind of feeling, right?'
Although he regrets saying this, there is no reason to give this up halfway.
He took a breath and continued:
"It was that time I was kicked in the head, and I always felt that I had touched the gate of heaven. Thanks to Ayase, I think I found my new way of life.
People often say that what they do before they die is like a revolving lantern, but I didn't expect it to be really like this.
It was between my life and death that I realized how ridiculous my previous behavior was. I am not a good elder brother, nor a good son, and Has also been causing all of your troubles.
I will reform and renovate, and will not be the same as before."
Although it is acting, why, why, why are his tears always stay at the edge of his eyes and he is unable to stop it?
'Could it be that the things left by the original owner are affecting me? It seems so...'
After listening to him, Dad's eyes were filled with guilt, and Mom also had tears in the corners of his eyes. And Ayase lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking. Probably thinking whether kicking me was something good or not in the end...
Seeing the way his parents looked, he stopped his sorrow and wiped his tears with some worry.
'is it too exaggerated?'
But when he thinks about it, today's parents' act of diligently putting dishes in front of him is something that he has never experienced before.
Probably because they were too busy and the child was sick(kicked) in the middle of the night yesterday but they didn't even notice it. Furthermore the child "almost" died….was it because of guilt?
'I say it with a rightful tone like a priest.., but why does it feel so shameful?
Junichirou lowered his head and waited for them to speak.
"The child has finally grown up, right, Husband?"
The mother looked at his dad and said that hoarsely. However, he could hear how excited she was.
"Yeah, Junichirou, well done! Worthy of being my son. Dad also has some old newspapers and magazines, you can take them together."
Dad has a feeling of comfort.
He nodded but said nothing. What he cared more about was Ayase's reaction.
She didn't speak, nor could he see any change in her expression.
Junichirou glanced at her again. With his "understanding" of Ayase, his image should be better, right?
'That's enough'
Thinks Junichirou as he lowered his head and couldn't help but smile.
"Then Junichirou, are you going to school after the spring break?" Dad said again.
Junichirou's smile couldn't help being stagnant when hearing this question.
"Husband, don't force the child to be so tight. The child is already willing to work hard, and he will go when he is ready."
The mother turned to look at Junichirou: "Right, jun-chan?"
Junichirou only had hehe in his heart, but he didn't expect this.
'You two play it like this and even mom changes the way she calls me… I can't do it unless I agree.'
[New Mission: Go to school!]
[Description: Host should not become uneducated and strive for education!
Reward: Orange technological blueprint x1]
'HEY! Even the system told me to go to school!!!'
However, thinking that he will need to learn more about scientific knowledge for his system, getting into his school's library is necessary. After all, the knowledge he gets from the system is just something that he 'knows' and not 'understands'. Just like you download a file but don't understand the content of the file. He still needs to understand from the basic sciences to the advanced ones.
Junichirou groaned in his heart, he just graduated from high school and even university, although he sometimes misses that time very much. But to let him do it again...
The so-called parents are probably all like this. After an obviously insignificant growth, they become so happy. Then for fear that it is just a flash of consciousness, they will continue to push their children to the peak of society.
"Yes, I will go to school. However, can I live in another place? I want to exercise my independence."
Of course, the so-called independence is fake. In fact, he is just unused to having a family at his house. Furthermore, he also has a system that will probably keep giving him black technologies in the future.
If one day he wants to build a Gundam, can he do it here?
...
Finally, his parents agreed with the requirement for him to come back on holiday. The dinner ended in a relatively warm atmosphere. Though, his father is still drinking alcohol to celebrate Junichirou
'transformations'.
He ate a lot, but he didn't rest.
He was about to go out holding Pandora's box full of joy and evil with a bag of his father's old newspaper hanging on his arm.
"Ayase, I'm here to wash the dishes today. You can help your brother carry the bag. He just recovered from losing his consciousness." Mom shouted from the kitchen.
When he gave some of the bags to Ayase, it was an unfortunate thing that he didn't touch her hand.
'Tch… Shame…'
...
The forefoot of spring has arrived, but the night still becomes dark quickly. A slight cool breeze blows, and the setting sun exudes the last brilliance, dyeing the sky golden red. The world has been covered with a layer of invisible gray.
Junichirou and Ayase carried the box alone and the big black plastic bag.
He always feels something is wrong.
'Oh, it turned out that Ayase was following me instead of walking side by side.'
But Junichirou was also satisfied, and it's been a long time since he came out with Ayase in his memory. It's a pity that there are very few people now. If you walk on the street, you can sprinkle dog food.
Soon, the garbage collection point was reached. Putting all the stuff down with Ayase, He sighed in his heart
'I don't know who's the lucky guy who will pick up my own treasure.'
...
At home, Ayaka and Hitoshi are nervously inside Junichirou's room.
"They are coming back soon, husband hurry up!" Ayaka (mother) looked nervously outside the door.
"No, nothing. There are no books hidden remaining. I have seen where he hid things." said Hitoshi (father)
"That's good, come out quickly!" whisper Ayaka
"Looks like he really has decided to change." Said Hitoshi as he patted his chest.
...
After arriving home, the parents sat at home and watched TV.
Back in the room, Junichirou threw himself on the bed thinking about today's affairs. He didn't want to think about anything anymore and fell asleep quickly.
Author Note: Hehe… Who got baited by the title? Sorry, I don't think I will write 18+ things in this novel. After all, you see the genre/tag, is there 18+, smut, etc? No right?
After all, it feels somehow a bit like NTR if you write of your own character who is doing some H stuff with your waifu...
