“Why don’t you guys talk?”

The owner says as he places two bowls of ramen in front of us.

“No, we don’t have anything to talk about.”

“You guys can talk about whatever you want. You guys standing in line and being silent is making me crazy.”

“True. The noodles are worse than usual.”

“Hey, missy. That’s absolutely not true ! You should evaluate it properly. 

Properly !”

Hananoi says it with such a straight face that the owner takes it seriously and protests.

“Good grief. In the past, you used to fight so loudly.”

“We’d sit on one end of the table and argue, and the people around us would laugh in amazement.”

“Yeah, yeah. Eventually, some people even come to see it for fun. It’s a real nuisance.”

“But the store’s sales went up, didn’t they? That’s good.”

Hananoi, who says this without any apology, makes me laugh a little.

Hananoi seems to have heard me, glaring at me.

I escape her eyes and turn the conversation away from her.

“Well, in any case, it means you’re both old enough to fight.”

“That was only two years ago.”

The owner says, [That’s true] and we laugh in agreement with each other.

Hananoi looked at me as ifs he wanted to say something, but she kept her mouth shut and ate her ramen in silence.

By the time we left the shop, it was around 9:00 p.m., and the crowd had thinned out.

“We’d better go home. I’ll walk you home.”

Hananoi looked unhappy.

“…..What? You still don’t wanna go home?”

When I asked her that, Hananoi gave a small nod.

I scratch my head and think.

“You don’t have to worry about me. You can go home, Ken.”

Hananoi said quietly, perhaps looking annoyed.

I had no choice but to leave her in a very low state of spirits, but…

“…I guess I don’t have a choice.”

Not a good solution, but it’s an emergency.

I’m sure she’ll forgive me.

“Hananoi, stay at my place tonight.”

“Huh !?”

Hananoi shouted in astonishment, even though it was nighttime.

“W-what are you talking about?”

“It can’t be helped. I can’t just leave you here.”

“No, it;’s fine ! It’s too much trouble !”

“It’s okay. My parents aren’t there.”

“That’s even worse !? Sleeping over with a boy from the same class as me is too much for me !?”

“We used to be siblings.”

“We’re not siblings now !”

“That’s true, but…”

However, since there is no other option, I don’t have any other ideas.

“Y-you can’t be serious……”

Hananoi looked at me as if I was an insect.

She took a step back, holding herself up by the arm.

Y”ou’re thinking of doing something weird to me, aren’t you !?”

“I won’t ! What the hell are you thinking !”

That misunderstanding is bad for a lot of reasons, so I do my best to deny it.

Hananoi’s expression didn’t change, as if she still didn’t believe me.

I sighed and spoke my thoughts.

“I’m gonna stay at Makoto’s house today. You can stay at my place. Ayaka will be there too, but since you’re both women, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Ah, I see.”

She was a little relieved when I told her that I was leaving the house.

“But, isn’t it still a nuisance?”

“I’m sure Ayaka might say a lot of things, but as long as you don’t interfere, it’s fine. I’ll call my current stepmother, just in case.”

Once the conversation was settled, Hananoi was reluctant to stay until the end, but I could think of no other way, and Hananoi ended up staying at my house.

It was late at night, so I put Hananoi on the back of my bicycle and pedaled home.

If the police found us, we would be caught, but we made it to the house without incident.

I unlocked the door and got on the bike again.

“Well then. You can use my room. If you don’t want to, you can use the sofa or something. The room you were using is now Ayaka’s room, so be careful.”

“Thank you. Are you sure?”

“I called Makoto earlier and he said everything is fine. So don’t worry about it.”

“Well, I’ll take your word for it.”

“Yeah. Good night.”

“Good night.”

After exchanging these words, I headed for Makoto’s house.

I don’t understand this guy. Nor his father. His father seems to help people…but can’t keep his dick in his pants…

Ken despite the way he was treated and not wanting to have anything to do with his “sisters” he seems to bend over for them.
