"What actually happened?!"
Fumino looked incredulous: "Aunt Kazumi is really going to kick you out of the house..."
She fell silent and moved the corner of her mouth.
This kind of thing is very likely to happen.
"Besides, few mothers support their sons to have many women, especially when she was determined to unite us before. It's understandable that she's so angry."
Shinichi stretched his arms and seemed to have long accepted the outcome, with a very indifferent attitude.
Rizu hadn't recovered from her shock yet, and another question mark appeared in her mind.
"Aunt Kazumi wants to unite me and Fumino?"
"That happened in the past, don't worry!" Fumino quickly dismissed the topic and looked at Shinichi anxiously.
"Asada-san, do you want us to go and mediate with Aunt Kazumi? After all, it's a bit odd for a high school student to be kicked out by their family and live alone... It's almost time to prepare for exams."
Shinichi shrugged: "It's okay. It's not like I'm not working. Savings, scholarships, and salary are enough to cover rent and living expenses. Plus, insurance premiums, school fees, and other large amounts are still covered by my parents. It can be realized well in advance. Just living independently, it won't be much different from the past."
A famous siscon. Wasn't Kosaka Kyosuke also kicked out by his father in the name of preparing for college mock exams? Although it was actually because he was afraid of hurting his little sister, from another perspective, it's good for high school students to live alone for studying...
That's what Shinichi thought.
"Is that so? That's good..."
The two girls looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Only now did they remember that this man was not just a bookworm who only knew how to study. With his abilities and character, even though he now has to study alone, he might still be able to live well.
For example, Shinichi living in a house with a beautiful foreign girl, working and studying at the same time, and starting a new romantic comedy with her...
Fumino quickly erased such light novel plots from her mind and instead asked:
"So, were you kicked out after a big fight with Aunt Kazumi?"
Because the other party didn't consider it a big deal, she was openly curious.
Rizu also gave a questioning look.
"It wasn't a fight. At least I don't think it was a fight..." Shinichi replied, pondering.
...
Sports festival day.
As soon as he returned home, he confessed to his parents that he liked many women at the same time, and that he had made a decision and tried everything to be with them.
After hearing this, his mother immediately became furious and slammed the table, saying:
"You stupid jerk! You're not too handsome, you're not an heir to a wealthy family, you're not a super-powered person who can trample on the law. Why did you say you want to make so many girls happy?"
"If your father dares to let me live peacefully with the mistresses outside, believe it or not, I will immediately make him your second mother!"
His father didn't speak beside him, he just covered his crotch silently and looked at him with gentle eyes.
At that moment, Shinichi, with an attitude of just informing them and not intending to argue with them, accepted the lesson and prepared to return to his room.
This time, his mother stopped him again.
"Do you still have any savings? Gather your things, find a house tomorrow, move the day after tomorrow, and pay for your living expenses yourself."
This very rhythmic command made Shinichi look at her in surprise.
"...I know."
Seeing the serious expression on his mother's face, he paused for a moment, then calmly nodded in agreement.
There was no need to ask why. With his mother's temperament, it's better not to sever the parent-child relationship with her. Wanting him out of the house and out of sight wasn't a big deal.
"I said you're a stupid child, don't think too much. I have no intention of performing parent-child morality drama with you broadcasted at 8 every morning."
His mother seemed to see what he was thinking, and immediately put her hands on her hips and said firmly.
"Listen, if you can truly make them happy, and they are willing to accompany you, from now on let me see your determination!"
Even though she was menopausal, she could still utter unprecedented statements.
"Until the time you are sure you can manage their lives well, and even if you have a harem in the modern era and grandchildren can fill the whole apartment, it won't be a problem. After that, both you and they can find your own happiness..."
"In that case, contact us."
"We will go and apologize to their parents, even if we have to kneel, and hope they can trust you with their daughters... Tsk, anyone who hears this shameless thing, they will reject it and scold me."
"However, who made us the parents of your unruly son? We are really unlucky for eight lifetimes..."
After saying this coldly, Kazumi turned around and walked to the living room, bidding farewell.
Very embarrassing.
It was clearly a moment that should be moving and guilty, but for some reason, Shinichi couldn't help but laugh at that moment.
Although they have changed a lot, their family's character is still awkward and cute as before...
...
"Asada-san?"
Fumino nudged his shoulder and looked at him strangely as he suddenly sank into memories.
Shinichi snapped out of it and quickly erased the lost smile from his face.
"Maybe that's what happened. I've been busy moving these past few days, so I haven't talked to you much."
"By the way, I haven't told anyone else about this. I'll post it in the group along with my new address later... Then I'll invite everyone to come and play together, but there are a lot of people and the room isn't big."
"How many people do you want to invite?" Fumino suddenly asked, "Seven? Eight? Nine?"
"...Invite seven people for now?" Shinichi looked at her doubtfully.
Fumino tilted her head and said, "What are you asking of me?"
She turned and looked at Rizu.
"Ricchan, do you want to have a good talk with Hayasaka-senpai and Kirisu-sensei about Asada-san?"
Rizu thought for a moment and nodded, "It's necessary to understand."
Fumino turned back and smiled brightly, "So, please invite a few more people, Asada-san~"
"...I'll think about it again."
Shinichi tried to reply, then he quickly cleared his throat and forcibly changed the subject.
"Now that we're done talking about moving, next is..."
He suddenly took out a stack of photocopy papers from his bag and handed them to both of them.
"Here, I want you to look at this."
Fumino took it: "This..."
Rizu blinked in surprise: "Life planning list?"
Shinichi nodded and immediately explained: "Just like you have a study schedule designed to achieve your goals, I also set life plans for myself to accomplish my 'dreams'... Although plans can never follow changes, it's important to plan ahead. It's better to set standards, boundaries, and thresholds for yourself rather than talking about them without considering the future."
"Hmm, Asada-san is always practical..." Fumino whispered as she looked at the contents of the paper:
"Obtain entrepreneurial capital before graduating from high school. The specific plan is as follows..."
Rizu: "I participated in the Youth Entrepreneurship Program during college. I started by working on small projects. The specific plan is as follows..."
"To buy a house where everyone can live together as soon as possible, I abandoned honest business in starting a business and used connections..."
"You should allocate time to spend with everyone every week. You should balance work with rest. You shouldn't become a workaholic without feelings..."
"Finally, I go propose with the awareness of being hacked to death..."
In various ways, Shinichi wrote down his future life plans and things to be considered on the photocopy paper, and perfected them in every aspect. Although some of its contents made people curl their lips, common sense is that it's just daydreaming. However, he carefully considered the possibilities, giving people the feeling that "if nothing unexpected happens, he can really do it."
"You..."
Their fingers involuntarily tightened the stack of planning sheets. Fumino and Rizu stared at him, but they didn't know what to say.
