Two days after we all went to the beach, I was on my way to Mari’s house.
Haruka and the others are probably talking to Kamiya’s parents by now ……
I’m a little worried, but Kaori san is there, so it’s okay. ……
I’ll leave that to Haruka and the others for now and just focus on talking to Mari’s parents for now.
And so I arrived at Mari’s house, relying on the address sent to me by LIME.
“The house is huge,……, with a huge yard,……, a pond and even a fountain,…….”
Or rather, if you think about it, Mari’s parents, whom I’m about to meet, are people that even my parents can’t get their heads around, or rather, people that I owe a debt of gratitude and respect to. ……
Thinking about that made me a little, no, quite nervous.
“Okay! Let’s chime in!”
I put my hand on the chime with renewed enthusiasm.
(Beep! Beep! Beep!)
As soon as I pressed the chime, the door opened.
“Who’s onii chan?”
A little girl who looked very much like Mari, about the same age as elementary school student, came to me saying so.
“Well, onii chan is Mari-san’s lover, and today I came to say hello to Mari-san’s father and mother.”
When I said that, her mysterious face brightened up.
“Ah! I know! you are called fiancee, right? Come here, onii chan”
With that, the girl pulled me by the hand and walked away.
“This way, onii chan”
“Um, is it okay if I ask your name?”
“Ah! Yes! My name is Sachi!”
“So your name is Sachi chan, where are we going now, Sachi-chan?”
“Well, Sachi’s room! onee chan told me that her fiancé was coming over today, so she said yesterday that it would be okay if Sachi wanted to play with him!”
I knew this girl was Mari’s sister.
More importantly, is it okay if I continue to follow her? ……
And I haven’t even greeted her parents ……
No, but I don’t think I could say no with such sparkling eyes on me. ……
“Here we are! Onii chan!”
While thinking about this, it seems we’ve arrived at Sachi’s room.
“You can come in!”
“Well then, I’m going to interrupt you for a little while, Sachi chan.”
“Yes!”
I sat down as soon as I entered Sachi-chan’s room and sent a message to Mari on LIME about my current situation.
“So how old are you now, Sachi-chan?”
“Sachi is 10 years old and in the fourth grade.”
“Is school fun for you?”
“Yeah! I have lots of friends and I’m having fun!”
Sachi chan said, bouncing up and down with her hands outstretched.
“I see, that’s great. Is there anything you like to do, Sachi chan?”
“Umm, Sachi likes to study! When I study, onee chan and mother praise me a lot.”
“Hee, you must be really good if you like studying so much.”
“Thank you, onii chan! I like anime now! I watch them all!”
“I see. What kind of anime is it?”
“Wait a minute.”
Sachi chan then picked up something and showed it to me.
“This is it!”
Ah, I’m pretty sure it’s an anime that’s popular among elementary school students right now ……
I’ve never seen it, so I don’t know what kind of anime it is. ……
“This is a popular anime among elementary school students now, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is! Sachi likes this girl!”
Sachi pointed her finger at a cute animal, which could be a fox or a cat, but I don’t know.
“Hee, she’s so cute, what’s her name?”
“She’s called Pana-chan, and she’s the partner of the main character!”
“I see! So her name is Pana-chan.”
“Yes! onii chan loves onee chan, right?”
Sachi asked with a smile.
“Yes, I do! I love her very much.”
“Then you are like Sachi”
Sachi smiled.
“Sachi chan loves onee chan, too, doesn’t she?”
“Yes! I love her very much!”
“I see. What do you like about her?”
“Well, she’s kind to Sachi, she’s good at everything, she’s cool, and everyone in her class likes her! Sachi is going to be an adult like onee chan”
Yeah, Sachi is too cute. ……
If she had a sister like this, no wonder Mari would love her too……
If Sachi were my sister, I’d love her too…..
“What do you like about onee chan?”
“Well, she’s very strong and dependable, and like Sachi-chan said, she’s very cool, but her smile and gestures are really cute.”
“Onee chan also loves onii chan too very much! She says you’re so sweet and cool all the time!”
Mari says that kind of thing? ……
That’s unexpected, but I’m so happy.
“There are many more things that onii chan likes about onee chan, for example……”
(clatter)
I was about to continue when the door opened and I saw Mari.
Mari looked somewhat embarrassed.
“Ah! onee chan! What’s wrong?”
“Umm Sachi? Can I borrow onii chan for a while? I have to talk to dad and others for a bit,”
“Eh, I’ve only talked to him for a little while. ……”
Sachi was a little saddened by Mari’s words.
“You can play with him again when I’m done talking with Dad and the others,”
“Okay. ……”
“Well then, let’s go, Akuru-san,…… and Sachi can wait a bit too.”
“Sure. …… see you later, Sachi chan.”
“I’ll see you later! nee chan! onii chan!”
And so me and Mari were walking down the hallway.
“I’m sorry, Akuru san, I didn’t realize Sachi caught you …….”
“Haha, it’s okay, I had a good time talking to Sachi chan too.”
“I’m glad to hear that. ……”
“Mari must be very well-liked by Sachi. ……”
“Yes, and I’m with her all the time, and she’s so cute that I spoil her. ……”
“But she’s growing up to be a very good girl, so it’s okay, right? You can spoil her.”
“Well, if you put it that way, that may be true.”
“But it’s a little past time to go now. Are your parents okay?”
“They laughed when I told them that Sachi had caught you.”
“Well, I’m glad to hear that.”
I was afraid that they might be angry, but I’m glad to hear it. ……
“It’s a big house, by the way.”
“Yes, it is, but it’s also a lot of work.”
“Well, it sure seems a bit of a challenge to move rooms around and such. ……”
“Yes, we’ve had to hire some help to keep up with the cleaning.”
“So, do you have other family members living in the house?”
“The only people living in this house are my mother, myself, Sachi, and my father. The rest of my father’s wives and their children live in other prefectures, depending on their work schedules.”
No wonder I don’t see anyone else.
“Has Mari’s father always lived here?”
“His work is based here,……, but I visit him regularly, and of course he sometimes comes here to visit me, but we all get along very well, so there are no problems.”
“Sounds like a lot of work …….”
“My father says it’s not so difficult once you get used to it.”
It sounds complicated, but there’s a lot going on. ……
“The room is here, so let’s go, Akuru san!”
“Yeah! Let’s go.”
The door to the room was then opened by Mari and me.
