Sudden Storm

I could hear the sound of raindrops hitting the roof of the house. "It's raining...?" I mumbled as I slowly opened my eyes and sat up, gazing out the window. "Wow... the storm is really intense."

A gentle knock on my door followed by its opening interrupted my thoughts. "Onii-chan, the news just announced that school is suspended today."

"Thank you, Nazuna." I slowly rose from my bed and made my way downstairs to the living room. "By the way, Nazuna... could you please try to contact Mom?"

"Mama? She's probably busy with her work abroad," Nazuna replied with a sigh. "But I guess I can give it a try." She walked over to the telephone and began dialing while I settled down on the sofa, watching the news with a bored expression. "How dull..."

I reached for the remote and changed the channel to the entertainment industry channel. "Oh? They're replaying the Lucky Star versus Grimoire Rose performance."

Grimoire Rose, another idol group in the entertainment industry with four members, had a distinct gothic style. Their songs were known for their powerful beats, and their synchronized dances and gothic outfits added to their appeal.

Although they lost in the competition against Lucky Star, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. "Well, it's not surprising that Lucky Star came out on top. Their songs are just the best," I said with a smug grin. "It's probably because of Yui-san's visual."

As I yawned and stretched on the sofa, I thought about the qualities required to become a successful idol manager. When it comes to managing a group, there needs to be a balance between vocal abilities, dance skills, and visuals.

"But I can see why Lucky Stars always come out on top. They excel in all three aspects."

Just then, Nazuna entered the living room carrying a tray with fried rice. "Onii-chan, here's the fried rice," she said, placing the tray on the table.

"Thank you, Nazuna," I replied, sitting up and picking up the chopsticks. I closed my eyes and said a quick prayer of gratitude. "Thank you for the food."

Nazuna glanced at the television screen. "Oh, you're watching the Grimoire Rose versus Lucky Stars performance."

"Yeah, they're replaying it."

"Oh, thank goodness! I missed this because of schoolwork," she said, joining me on the sofa.

After a few hours, there was a knock at the door. "I'll go get the door," I said, standing up and heading toward the front door. I checked through the peephole and saw Nao, Tsukasa, and Yuki standing outside. "Hm? What are they doing here?"

I opened the door and greeted them. "Hello, What are you three doing here?"

"Hehe, we didn't expect the storm to catch us," Yuki replied with a smile.

"Onii-chan? Who's at the door?" Nazuna came out of the living room and looked at them.

"Oh, your friends? Onii-chan... I didn't realize you had so many female friends.

"Don't misunderstand."

"We haven't said a thing~" Tsukasa added playfully.

"Now now, let them in before they get any wetter," Nazuna suggested as she left to get the towel from the laundry room.

"About that..." Yuki says smiling slightly, and I noticed that she and Nao were drenched from the rain.

"Anyway, just come in," I said, gesturing for them to enter. I turned to Nazuna. "Nazuna, do you mind lending them some clothes?"

Nazuna shouted. "Eh?! Mine? I don't think my clothes will fit them."

"How about your clothes then!?" Nazuna exclaimed, returning with a towel in hand.

Nao blushed at the suggestion. "N-Niimi's c-clothes?" she stuttered, turning to Tsukasa and hiding her face. Tsukasa simply patted her head, smiling.

"Alright, you three should go take a bath already. You don't want to catch a cold." I turn to them.

"Roger~" Tsukasa and Yuki replied in unison.

And so the three of them headed to the bathroom to take a bath. The bathtub could fit two people, but since there was also a shower available, they could use that as well.

While the three of them were taking a bath, Nazuna and I waited in the living room. We sat on the sofa.

"Nazuna, do you think they'll be okay?"

"Don't worry, Onii-chan. They're just taking a bath. They'll be out soon."

After a while, the door to the bathroom opened, and Nao, Tsukasa, and Yuki emerged, now dressed in fresh clothes borrowed from Nazuna.

"Ah, you're done!"

Yeah, thanks for letting us borrow your clothes, Nazuna-chan."

As the girls joined us in the living room, we all settled down and watch. but... for some reason... I have a bad feeling about this.

Ahh... That's right... These three... is a fan of Kou-kun!
