Chapter 6: Mikan!
Later on.
After working with Saibai and travelling back and forth from the other city, Ringo explained, Ayaka (Sagiri's mother) decided to live with them because she wanted to spend more time with her daughter, and the communication was taking a lot of time.
Ringo herself suggested that she should do so.
Additionally, Rito gets sick easily, so having Ayaka around will help the two of them concentrate on their work once more.
This is especially important because the complaint was already at its height, and two of them might have to go back to work on back days.
"It's alright! I don't think we have any complaint here." Looking at Mikan, who looked rather fine with all of it, and by the looks of it, Mikan was having a good time looking at cute girl Sagiri.
However, Rito was considering warning Mikan because, as in the anime, the young girl might be the most powerful erotic master, Eromanga sensei.
But in that anime, she did not have Ayaka-san with her, and in this reality, Ayaka-san seemed to have lived the life. Plus, she did not even marry into the Izumi family from the anime.
That night they had a small welcome party.
Sagiri always kept her quiet, and even after Mikan talked with her, she never left her mother's side, making it a bit awkward for all of them except for Rito, who knew of Sagiri's character from before.
"Sorry about that." After Mikan and Ringo had finished cleaning Sagiri and Ayaka's room, Ayaka apologized for her daughter's shy attitude, which definitely made it awkward for all of them.
"It's alright! I think Sagiri is trying in her own way. She will undoubtedly open up to us if we give her some time, and since her innermost thoughts must be the most conflicted right now, I hope Miss Ayaka would not scold her for her action."
Ringo appeared taken aback when she turned to see Rito sitting next to the final cabinet on the door. He heard everything, even though it was quite heavy and draining Rito.
Rito knew that Sagiri from the anime must have been disappointed in herself for doing all of that.
And if he were to put himself in her position right now, he would really appreciate hearing someone advise him to take his time and not rush things, which is what he chose to tell Miss Ayaka.
"You are kind. Thank you for understanding her." Ayaka's smile spread as she turned to face Rito, who blushed at her compliment and chuckled as he turned around and walked out of the room, leaving the three of them laughing as he did so.
But at that moment, Sagiri was hiding on the stairway as she looked at Rito entering his room; she clutched her rabbit plushie while dashing back to the hallroom.
----------------------------------
After that, 3 days passed off.
Rito got the check-up, and it was attested that he has completely recovered from his disease and will be able to attend his school back again.
Additionally, they had two months of summer vacation coming up, along with their class tests, so Rito knew it would be best to go get some notes.
It would not make a difference, but he still needed some attention, or else his classmates might forget him again.
"Rito! Can you get something for me?" It was Ayaka, the silver-haired beauty.
She had completely adapted to Rito and his family, but Rito was struggling to adjust to her messed-up dress code.
She stays prim and proper in front of his father, but after he told her to relax around him, she began to look like this, which is difficult to deal with because she still looks really beautiful, technically speaking, with her short height and that youthful-looking milky skin.
'Thanks to that. I might end up developing a Buddhism chanting skill or something? Maybe a Buddhism class is also a possibility.'
"Sure! I was thinking of getting a new light novel for material. It said the novel had quite a good popularity within the current reader with the title 'Metronome in Love.'" Since Ayaka was also a voracious reader in this field and frequently offered their father advice, he explained the whole reason to gauge her reaction, since she had a fairly good sense of what novels were good and what weren't.
"Oh! That one. I will also add that I had a reliable source, and he is usually quite right about novels like this, so I am also looking forward to the 5th part of this novel." With quite a bit of excitement, Ayaka added.
But in that excitement, her legs almost slipped from the third stair. The person on the receiving end, Rito, was rendered completely speechless by this timing.
He could only brace himself as he watched Ayaka fall because, even in that martial art skill, he had not been taught how to catch a lady from falling.
As a result, he felt something soft, and his sight went blank because something pleasant and pleasant-smelling completely covered his nose and sight.
'Well! This treatment is not that bad.' A thought crossed Rito's mind as he felt his head hit the floor, causing him to grimace a little.
However, at this point, he was already immune to the minor pains that accompany ecchi moments like this.
'Muffle.'
----------------------------------------------
After clearing the blood on his nose.
When Rito finally relaxed and took a deep breath, she reflected on how Mikan was out for school and Sagiri was working in her room.
Rito understood the general idea of the work, though, and was curious to see what kind of ecchi drawing the adorable young girl was creating in her room.
Wow! Ecchi artist + maiden-like look. The Sagiri character was truly a work of creation, just like Mikan, who had a childlike look, but her body developed in other parts, especially bottom down, was something else.
Rito was certain that his mind would have begun to make some move if they were not siblings, knowing that he had a chance thanks to his knowledge of anime.
'Bang!' 'What the hell! Am I thinking?' Rito banged his head on the table, with his eyes sweating down on his own thoughts.
As he who had memories of being an orphan, he truly did not wish to make things hard for his family.
But on the counterpart, as a single, he also had quite high energy to have a cute little maiden like Mikan by his side, even in the future.
