Chapter -004-

Aida who was walking side by side with Yuki rolled her eyes lazily somehow for the umpteenth time since they walked out of the gate of Natsu High School.

"I'm pretty sure you can punch holes in that form if you keep staring at it until we get home." Said Aida sarcastically which Yuki replied with a chuckle.

"Hahaha, I just can't believe you can fool the senpais by saying I've entered the music club. Even though this form is still really very innocent."

Now a clicking sound escaped from Aida's lips. "Tsk, because if I don't do that, I'm sure they'll keep asking you to join the basketball team."

Yuki nodded his head silently. "Yes you're right."

Aida now returned her gaze to the front.

"Have you contacted all of them if you have done the welcoming ceremony for students from Natsu High School?" Aida asked without turning her head towards Yuki.

Yuki, who was asked by Aida, shook his head slowly.

"No, I haven't contacted them. They must also be busy with the admission ceremony at their chosen school." Yuki said taking a moment's pause.

"Maybe I'll contact them next week when the teaching schedule starts." Yuki continued in response with a nod of her head by Aida.

"But at least you should contact Taichi-kun right? He'll definitely be angry if you don't contact him soon."

Yuki was silent for a moment in his place, then cleared his throat softly in response to Aida's words.

"Hmmm, maybe tonight I will contact him. Considering the time difference between us and him there is quite significant."

"Hm yeah you're right. Well it's up to you. Most importantly I have reminded you to contact them." Said Aida, who again responded with a nod of her head by Yuki.

Yuki also reached out one hand to pat the top of Aida's head.

Tap..

Tap..

Tap..

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for reminding me, manager Washida!" Yuki teased while chuckling in amusement. Meanwhile, Aida just snorted in disgust at Yuki's teasing.

"Yu-Kun! Ai-Chan!"

Yuki and Aida, who felt their names being called, turned their heads to the direction the voice came from.

Yuki and Aida could see the figures of two girls and a boy who were wearing the same uniform as they were walking while waving one hand at them.

"Hana-neechan! Yumi-neechan! Ken-niichan!" Aida replied, waving one hand.

Meanwhile, Yuki, who was right next to Aida, flinched slightly at the shrill tone of her friend's voice.

"Hey, can you not exclaim like that. My ears are always sensitive when I'm next to you." Yuki said while rubbing one ear.

Plak!

Aida who heard Yuki's complaint immediately threw a punch on her friend's shoulder.

"You're exaggerating. I'm just greeting your sisters and my brother!"

Yuki just rolled his eyes lazily in response to Aida's words.

"Hey, why did you guys just go home and not wait for us?" Asked a female student with two pigtails when she was in front of Yuki and Aida.

"Why do we linger on the day of the welcoming ceremony. I'd better stay at home while playing games." Yuki answered a little sarcastically which immediately made the two-tailed female student throw a smack on the top of his head.

"Yu-kun! Is that how you answer a question from neechan who hasn't seen you in almost three years?" The female student complained which was only responded by an exasperated sigh by Yuki.

"Never mind Yumi-chan. Aren't you two ashamed to fight on the side of the road like this?" Said a female student in a ponytail between Yuki and a female student in two pigtails called Yumi.

"But Yu-kun annoys Hanami-neechan. He should miss seeing us, these two beautiful and cute sisters." Yumi said complaining to Hanami.

Hanami couldn't help but chuckle at the behavior of his two younger siblings at this time.

Aida, who wanted to help Hanami to break up the debate between Yuki and Yumi, chose to change the topic.

"Kentaro-Niichan, aren't you and Hanami-neechan a student council president and vice president? Why have you been allowed to go home even though the new student admission ceremony hasn't finished yet?" Aida asked looking alternately at Hanami and a boy named Kentaro.

Kentaro who was questioned by Aida, who was none other than his younger sister just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly while glancing at Hanami.

"We've already done our part, so let our members finish next." Kentaro replied to which Hanami nodded his head.

"That's true. After all, they all know that we will both be home early because we want to celebrate our younger siblings' success in becoming members of the Natstu High School family." Hanami said that immediately made Yuki and Aida roll their eyes in surprise.

"Neechan! You told all your friends that Ai-chan and I entered Natsu High School?" Yuki asked with a slightly raised voice in surprise.

Hanami casually nodded her head, then glanced her eyes at Yumi.

"Thanks to big sister because she accidentally shouted in the student council room about you successfully passing the entrance exam. So all the student council members know about you."

Yuki's gaze now turned to Yumi who was wearing a frowning expression, because now she was the center of attention among her sister, brother and friend.

Yuki who saw Yumi's frowning expression couldn't help but take a deep breath. Likewise with Aida.

Now Aida and Yuki glanced at each other and shook their heads in resignation.

"Hah, it was appropriate that three upperclassmen came to see you and persuaded you to join the basketball team." Aida complained that she was starting to know the reason behind the three seniors from the basketball team and approached Yuki.

Yuki nodded his head resignedly to justify what Aida said.

Meanwhile Kentaro, Hanami and Yumi who heard Aida's conversation with Yuki immediately raised their eyebrows.

"Is that true? I didn't expect the basketball team to start recruiting you Yu-kun." said Kentaro to which Yuki nodded his head.

"Yes, Ken-senpai. I was also surprised when they found me and asked me to join their basketball team."

Hanami raised one hand to ask. "Then what did you say to them? You rejected them didn't you?"

Yuki nodded his head firmly. "Of course I rejected them. I told them that I would not choose to join any sports club at Natsu High School."

Yuki can hear Hanami and Yumi sigh of relief after hearing Yuki's words.

"Plus Ai-chan already told them that I chose to join the music club. So I'm sure they will stop asking me to join the basketball club." Yuki continued which made Hanami and Yumi turn their heads towards Aida.

"You're great Ai-chan! This way they won't be chasing Yu-kun anymore to join the basketball club." Said Yumi which was replied with a nod of the head by Hanami, Yuki and Aida. Meanwhile, Kentaro chose to remain silent and pay attention to the conversation of the three brothers and sisters.

"Alright, then let's go home! We have to celebrate the first day you officially become high school students!" Hanami exclaimed who had put her arm around Yuki and Aida's shoulders to walk with her to their house.

Meanwhile Yumi and Kentaro who were behind just shook their heads with an amused smile on their faces.
