Chapter Nine: "A Fortunate Encounter, Seven Bright Moons of the Sky"
Sakihara Raku heard her reminder and tightened her small hand slightly, pressing her palm against her palm
Did we not meet yesterday
Sakakibara Raku has long wanted to voice his complaints
... ...
So, shall we shake hands
I can manage a little
No, no, no, judging by the attitude of teasing my sister since yesterday, he is completely a scheming person
Surprisingly, there is no scent of cologne on my elder brother
She is a thoroughly scheming girl
Um
Thereafter, Sakihara Raku voluntarily released his hand
What about dinner? How do you usually handle it? Sakihara Raku recalled her mother saying that they were not very good at cooking
But this action is akin to the first meeting between the two individuals
It is generally common to call each other "bro" or "brother," but in a slightly more formal context, one would simply address as "brother".
I know, Ale, you have always been a reliable child since you were young... Now that we have a new home, I also want to share more about the situation with you
... ...
"No matter how twisted I may be, I would never be interested in the body of a younger sister I have only just met for less than a day." Sakihara Raku thought that Shimeigetsu's personality and way of speaking were quite strange
Father usually does not come home in the afternoon and eats convenience store bento. My sister has learned to cook some dishes, but they are not very tasty. Can my elder brother cook?
In fact, in such a situation, a family with four children would find it more cost-effective to purchase a detached house in Tokyo
This large house is three times more expensive than the 200 million yen he had imagined
Indeed, my elder brother is a man who likes beautiful girls
Time passed second by second, and the air became visibly tense
So, for my sake, would you be willing to be my sister's boyfriend, brother
In summary, facing the girl standing in the wind before me, my cohabitation life with my three younger sisters has officially begun
This is not necessarily the case; it is normal for men to be lustful. When they first met, the elder brother looked at the elder sister more than once.
At present, you have just met Qimingyue and the child Jiuliuli, and it is certainly a bit strange to interact. However, you are now siblings, and you are the eldest brother! You must show some spirit!
Which room is this?" Sakihara Raku picked up the box designated by his mother
Do you understand?" the young girl said softly
When he turned back to face the girl standing on the balcony, he found that Tianhai Qimingyue was gazing at him with her beautiful eyes
Sakihara Raku suddenly noticed that the girl in front of him was looking at him with a strange expression, "What’s wrong?"
Is one plotting against oneself
It remains to be verified
Tianhai Qimingyue: "The way you shake hands, brother, is incorrect; it should be a palm-to-palm grip."
The serene aura about her, combined with a beauty that requires no further words, creates an invisible pressure on the hearts of those around her
Wait! Sakihara Raku has never heard of distinguishing people by their measurements
Mikawa Sakakibara is a very strong woman. When her husband disappeared with a large sum of prize money, she said nothing, gritting her teeth to endure in this high-cost, high-rent Tokyo, and even managed to support her two children through high school.
What happened
Sometimes I often think, if it weren't for you, would I have jumped into Tokyo Bay with A-Ling back then... Sakakibara Miwa recalled the nights when her son would still say encouraging words to her.
This should be the room of the twin sisters
"Understood." Sakakibara replied
Tianhai Qimingyue withdrew her gaze and spoke calmly and unhurriedly
Tianhai Qimingyue smiled delicately: "This is to help my sister, and it is also to help myself."
As for why Uncle Tianhai chose a high-end, lightly luxurious apartment... First, the seaside view is excellent, and second, he has the financial means to be indulgent
The girl Tianhai Qimingyue is quite peculiar, with a face devoid of any emotions and strange, odd remarks
He lowered his head to take a glance, then extended his own hand, clasping that delicate hand, which was so fair it seemed to be glowing, within his palm
Sakihara Yoshiyoshi has always been very understanding of his mother, so most of the household chores and the care for his younger sister have fallen to him
"Is it work again? This child seems to have become much busier lately"
It's nothing, just with the picture book mother
Not at all, she has always been strange
Quite good
Nice to meet you, I am Tianhai Qimingyue
Sakihara Raku remained silent for a while
As individuals who will have to interact daily in the future, I believe it is necessary to appropriately delineate the boundaries between my elder brother and myself
Sakihara Le believes that this request is very reasonable: "Please speak."
It is truly embarrassing to think about it now
What?
Sakihara Raku's gaze followed along to look over there
Such politeness towards one's own biological son
Mrs. Sakakibara spoke with a hint of concern, but upon seeing Sakakibara Raku and Amami Nanami chatting happily, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled
It is very strange
Not every man spends money on perfume. At this moment, Sakihara felt that her expression was somewhat naive—could she be a natural airhead?
"A Le has arrived, where is Ling?"
For some unknown reason, he suddenly felt the urge to cough a couple of times, while the delicate and cool sensation continued to slowly spread between his palms
Sakakibara surrendered
Mrs. Sakakibara glanced down the hallway leading to the bedroom and said: "The room inside belongs to Shimeigetsu, while the one outside belongs to Kyururi. They both have their own stickers on their boxes, so be careful not to mix them up."
Oh! No problem! Sakihara echoed his mother's enthusiasm with a remark
The two bedrooms are connected, each on one side; the place referred to by my mother is that one
... ...
Her office has an urgent matter.
They get along very harmoniously
This simple number does not fully explain any differences
The area of Platinum Takashimaya is indeed exorbitantly expensive
Miyawa Sakihara's voice interrupted the conversation between the two. She was wearing an apron used for cleaning the room and walked out from the bedroom, wandering around the living room. Upon discovering Sakaibara Raku on the balcony, she called out to him with a question
"What happened?" Seeing his mother beckoning to him from the bedroom, Sakihara Raku walked over.
It was not until this moment that Sakihara Raku realized
What is strange? Sakihara Raku discovered that Amami Nanakatsu was continuously looking at him with her * pictorial * eyes.
A Le, please move the boxes in the living room into those two rooms
What kind of boundary delineation is this
This is probably also the guilt that my mother feels towards herself
I feel that my elder brother speaks very cautiously
Sakihara Raku glanced at the shark sticker on the box, wondering if that strange girl also liked sharks
Line
Uncle Tianhai and I are both very busy with work, and except for late at night, our schedules generally do not align with yours. The two children, Qimingyue and Jiuli, are not very good at cooking, and as for your sister, you are already aware of the situation.
Although Tianhai Qimingyue may not be able to discern it, Sakakihara Raku knows that his mother's gaze is subtly indicating that he should leave a good impression on the other party
How to draw a clear line
Weekly - Organizing Household Chores - 300 Points (Completed)
What kind of logic is this
His culinary skills and household chores have also been developed over these past ten years.
But this is the first time you and I are meeting alone, it is a pleasure, I am Tianhai Qimingyue
This is a compliment from the bright moon of Tianhai Qiming after helping her move the items.
This house is quite large, featuring five bedrooms, one living room, and two bathrooms, along with a storage room. The open kitchen is complemented by a light-filled balcony that faces Tokyo Bay, providing remarkably fresh air
But soon, Tianhai Qimingyue's expression returned to calmness, as she stood quietly in place, resembling a delicate glass craft.
The rewards have been distributed, please check your receipt
It is quite normal for beautiful girls to attract attention, isn't it
Well, do not blame mother for being too verbose; some matters need to be reminded several times.
Good... with your assurance, I can rest easy
A Le
It was just now that you, elder brother, made the first mistake in distinguishing between me and my sister. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles in our future interactions, I believe it is necessary for you to understand the differences between my sister and me
Mother still wants to say sorry to you and A Ling about this matter of remarriage
Ah? What happened
Sakihara Raku hesitated for a moment: "Nice to meet you"
For example, you shouldn't stand so far away from me. Am I really that frightening
The coolness of the ice silk, its soft and delicate texture, is a unique sensation that Sakihara Raku is experiencing for the first time
Tianhai Qimingyue rested her face on her hand, her slender fingers, as white as lotus root, tapping her cheek as she pondered for a moment: "First, there is my sister, Tianhai Jiuli, whose measurements are 82, 56, and 84 from top to bottom"
I am just still a bit unaccustomed
... Is this how one begins to reject oneself right from the start
Knowing that this belonged to Tianhai Qimingyue, she moved the box into the inner room
It turns out that everything she did just now was to prove her earlier statement that she "would not be interested in body shape"
Mrs. Sakakibara smiled and said: "It's not that I want you to take care of them, but rather I hope you can get along well. You shouldn't resist them too much... How about taking them out for a meal when you have time? Do you need any money?"
Tianhai Qimingyue quietly extended her hand, perhaps sensing that he could not understand her meaning, she then explained:
But is this title somewhat outdated
I am wondering how it is possible that there are boys who are not interested in their sister's measurements
It is quite normal, after all, he is a stranger.
Tianhai Qimingyue saw the watch that her father had given him yesterday on his wrist
The sensation of holding hands like this is quite marvelous; the girl's hand is slightly cool, yet it feels delicately soft as if it has no bones.
... ...
There is no need to return any money, it is too formal. Just give according to the usual living expenses.
Therefore, the elder brother must also be interested in the sister's measurements
... ...
The girl's hands are clasped in front of her pleated skirt, and her actions display a considerable level of maturity and common sense
Mrs. Sakakibara blinked her eyes
Moreover, Sakihara Raku always felt that her eyes, as deep as an icy ocean, seemed to be searching for something within him
But why does Qi Mingyue keep holding onto herself
Very capable, the elder brother appears to be very reliable
What are the places where wealthy people reside
"It's just a few boxes and books, you have moved things in before," Sakihara said as he came out of the washroom after washing his hands. "Why haven't I seen your uncle and your sister?"
Tianhai Qimingyue withdrew her gaze that had been fixed on him, as if intentionally changing the subject, and said
There is absolutely no mistake; she is not natural
I was originally worried about what to do if the person I would have to live with in the future turned out to be very unattractive or a pervert, but from your performance from yesterday until now, brother, you have left me with a good impression.
I understand, I understand... So, you mean a man who can take the initiative to help
Speaking of which, I am still unaware of matters concerning your mother
A handshake can enhance the relationship between Qimingyue and her elder brother, and it is also a polite gesture
Very straightforward words
She stared at herself for a long time, inexplicably giving Sakihara a feeling that was difficult to describe
Upon hearing this from his mother, Sakihara Raku understood, "Mom, you can rest assured, I will take good care of them"
Mom, let's not talk about the past anymore. I don't blame you for the matter of marriage, after all, I and A Ling are not unaware of your relationship with Uncle Tianhai, it's just that there hasn't been much news about it.
Mother's voice suddenly became much more serious
Emotions truly serve as the template for the protagonist
Having a sister and a house, both parents are busy
What is your impression of your two new sisters
Tianhai Qimingyue with blue eyes blinked: "They went out to buy deodorant, and by the way, to purchase some laundry detergent and shower gel among other things"
"What does this mean?" Sakihara was astonished
Why are you staring at me?
A-Le, come here for a moment
Having completed the transportation of the Tianhai Jiuliuli's boxes, after several trips back and forth amidst the busyness, it can be considered that everything has been finished.
The girl's voice is as soft as a gentle breeze, yet each word is conveyed with clarity and precision
This explanation, to Sakakibara Raku, is barely convincing
Good child, then fine, please go wash your hands quickly, thank you
Cough cough ... ...
Mother, she is still alive. If my elder brother wants to ask her why she divorced Dad, I can only say that both Dad and Mom are workaholics, and the distance between them is too great, ultimately leading to a discord in their relationship
