Suddenly Living Together

　　Mid July.

　　It was scorching summer outside, crickets chirping loudly, and the air was slightly distorted by the scorching heat.

　　Shinichi was in the room, enjoying the AC while looking at the schedule from early August to the start of school.

　　Even though it was already summer vacation, he felt that he couldn't be free at all.

　　According to the most perfect schedule, except for cramming school four days a week, the rest of the time is used for sports as usual, or used for reading, reviewing, and gaining various knowledge.

　　This summer vacation, he should be living a very leisurely, comfortable, and serene life… If there weren't so many appointments.

　　August itineraries are almost full of things to do.

　　Except for making an appointment with Fumino and Rizu to go to the movies three days later, and arranging fireworks with Chika, the rest of the itinerary was scheduled for August.

　　During a summer trip for the student council, Shinichi goes shopping with Nino, who manages to rank in the bottom 30th at school.

　　Yotsuba once said that she wants six people to go to the beach together, Itsuki invites him over to their house whenever he has nothing to do, Miku seems to want to visit his house again, Ichika wants to be with him watching the film in a supporting role.

　　Shinichi never thought he would be so busy. Last summer vacation, he was just at home and in the library, and none of his friends played with him.

　　But now, why did it turn out like this?

　　Talking about his friends, Uesugi Fuutarou seemed to have said that he could meet him when he had time, and he would ask him to meet (show off) his proud (male) student.

　　"...Forget it, it's not bad to play with girls."

　　Shinichi put his itinerary back on the corner of the table, took out a book from the bookshelf, and started reading as usual.

　　Luckily the quintuplets would be going overseas for a month first, and now that there was no one in Japan, Shinichi would be less busy after summer break so he would have more time to properly arrange the dates of the various itineraries.

　　What if the time to the movies coincided with Nino's appointment, the time to the beach coincided with a summer outing, the time to visit Nakano's house coincided with Miku's visit, and happened to meet his parents...

　　Just by imagining that incident happening, Shinichi was so dizzy that he didn't want to come out.

　　Still good at home.

　　Even though there was a pair of parents who looked at him with angry looks like "what happened to you that night" and "my son is finally big", but after experiencing the difficulties of being a mother that morning, Shinichi decided to face it.

　　At this time, Shinichi had bothered enough girls, and he really didn't want to see a creature like a young girl at home.

　　Hanging out with people was really troublesome, and hanging out with beautiful girls was ten times more troublesome, let alone being under the same roof.

　　Shinichi just wants to spend a quiet summer vacation like a plant.

　　This desire is completely crushed until the second day of summer vacation, when he finds that the house is empty, his parents have disappeared together, and only a letter remains on the dinner table.

　　[My dear child:

　　I traveled abroad with your father and your aunt.

　　I originally wanted to ask if you wanted to go together, but after looking at your schedule, I felt that you seemed really busy, so we decided not to invite you. I think you'll be very happy (※: Actually you wrote down the schedule with a password, you're cruel). ]

　　Seeing this, Shinichi was very happy, because he felt the breath of freedom.

　　It seemed that this house would only belong to him!

　　However, it didn't take long for his expression to completely freeze and the hand holding the letter grew firmer.

　　[...It just so happens that your Aunt Tachibana has two daughters. She was worried about letting the two young girls take care of the house, so she sent them over to our house.

　　After all, they were all in the same town, and their eldest daughter's work happened to be nearby, so I arranged for them to stay in the guest room.

　　By the way, I was supposed to clean the guest room last time, but it was already cleaned. My son works very hard (laughs).

　　The time may be this summer vacation. I remember they also came to live here six years ago. They have a good relationship with you. I think your opinion will still be very strong... Remember to entertain them well.

　　Put all your living expenses on the ATM card. If it's not enough, send me a message before sending money. I'll ignore you for another message, so don't waste your time sending it.

　　Go out and have more fun, don't go to unhealthy places, touch your conscience before you make a move, think about Fumino-chan spending the night with you, and take responsibility like a gentleman.

　　So, I wish you a smooth love life, and hope to see the whole of you when you return.

　　Your caring and forever 18 year old mother.

　　Even though Hina and Rui are pretty, but mom still likes Fumino-chan, so don't rush into it on impulse!

　　I believe in your integrity, but not in male chastity. Even though cousins can marry, it doesn't mean that you can turn your house into a harem within one and a half months.

　　But if you really fall in love, don't worry too much, as long as I don't have grandchildren too early, please thank our family for the tolerance.

　　Are you angry when you see this? It's natural to be angry, son, who told you to ignore us all day, we'll be mad at you! ]

　　Shinichi remained silent. Even though the letter paper had been crumpled by him, he still didn't tear it up or throw it on the gas stove to roast, but instead folded it back into a square shape and put it in his pocket.

　　In the future, when his mother was old, she would have to read these letter by word in the most emotional, fast, and possibly inaudible way possible.

　　When the time comes, let's see if she happily misses her past youth, or if she is so embarrassed that she wants to get down to the ground immediately.

　　Decades is not too late for the son to seek revenge.

　　Taking a few deep breaths to calm his heart, Shinichi went to the kitchen to get a glass of ice water to drink, just as he had completely calmed down and was about to return and continue studying.

　　*Ding Dong*

　　The doorbell rings. He walked to the door and looked through the cat's eyes. He clicked his tongue.

　　It came so fast...

　　Outside the door, there were two women who were dragging luggage, one looked like a college student and the other looked like a junior high school girl.

　　These are the two sisters from the Tachibana family that his mother mentioned in the letter. The faint sense of familiarity in his heart was also a good proof. Shinichi really had no way of convincing himself that this was the latest "pyramid sister scheme" method, so ignored the doorbell and returned to the bedroom.

　　So in the end, Shinichi still opened the door, letting the girls' eyes fall on him.

　　At this moment, he suddenly had a hunch.

　　No, it must be said that when he saw the letter, he understood one thing.

　　During this month and a half summer vacation... This house may no longer be a safe place for him to sing about his freedom.
