The days have gone by since then, and I’m enjoying the peace and quiet.
Thanks to the conversation I had with Arisa at the gymnasium, I feel that we have returned to our previous easy-going relationship.
I still think she’s cute when I see her, though, and I’m still conscious of her.
So today, I’m at Arisa’s house again as a housekeeper
But there was no landlord, and I was the only one doing the housework in this spacious house.
Today is the day that Arisa has a part-time job and won’t be back until the evening.
I remember when I first met her, she told me she was working as a part-time tutor.
She’ll probably come home with a headache, so I might as well make her some pancakes. I wonder where I found the recipe for pancakes that taste good even when cold.
Thank goodness Arisa has similar tastes like Reo. I’m sure she’ll be happy if I make her pancakes just like the ones Reo liked.
I can’t help but smile when I imagine Arisa’s face breaking into a smile in front of the pancakes.
Click.
I heard the door open and I turned around.
I was speechless when I saw an unfamiliar man there.
“Who is he?”
The appearance of a man I’ve never seen before chilled me for a moment.
But as you would expect, it was a hundred times better than when I was held at knife-point by Reo’s stalker.
I stared at the man’s figure with a cold heart.
He is tall, with a very well-defined face, golden hair, and emerald green eyes.
A man who looked like Arisa as if he were a man appeared in my mind.
“Could it be …… Arisa’s brother?”
“The housekeeper hired to take Shizuku’s place? Arisa told me.”
I knew it was Arisa’s brother. If I recall correctly, it was Shizuru san.
What a cool guy. He must be one year older than her.
“What’s onii san doing here ……?”
“This is my parents’ house though.”
“That’s right…… Oh, Arisa is working part-time right now.”
“I’m not here to see her. Mmm, smells good.”
I had just put freshly cooked pancakes on plate.
Onii san was peeking into the kitchen and staring at the pancakes.
“Do you want some of this I made for Arisa?….”
“I’ll have some.”
The way he says it sounds just like his sister!
◇◇◇
“Ummm …… yeah ……. This is quite good. You’re a good cook.”
“Thank you.”
“Do you have any more?”
“Oh, I’ll cook it right up!”
This is already the third piece, and I wonder how many pieces he eats.
He eats so deliciously. He had a sharp expression on his face a while ago, but when he eats, his expression is calm.
It’s as if I’m looking at Arisa.
I can see why. I think I understand why Otsuki-san fell in love with this person.
He’s a good-looking guy who eats well, so I’m sure Otsuki-san can’t get enough of him. I’ll tease her next time about liking this handsome guy.
Even now, she sends me pictures of Arisa every day.
If Arisa is right, he’s a swimmer. And he is dating Mizuhara san, a childhood friend of Arisa and Otsuki san.
It was a tough time for that mess. ……
Onii san ended up eating all the pancake ingredients. He asked me if there were any more, and to be honest, I’m a bit frazzled.
Onii san asked me to talk to him and we sat down face to face. And then he said something.
“Are you dating Arisa?”
“Buhuhu! No, no, …… nothing like that.”
I was confused by the obvious statement.
“I don’t know much about it because I don’t have many friends, but isn’t it a special relationship to go to the house of the opposite gender, even if it’s just for a part-time job?”
“You’re right, but …… well, Arisa and I are best friends, so…”
Suppressing my burning face, I exchange the pursuit
I have to listen to this too…
“As an older brother, are you sure it’s good for me to be in this house? Of course, I got permission from Arisa and Otsuki-san.”
“If Shizuku says it’s okay, I won’t say anything.”
“I see it’s not Arisa. ……”
Otsuki-san’s reputation is very high. I’m not sure why they all have such a high opinion of Otsuki san.
Reo’s Lover. Her childhood friend Arisa and Mizuhara-san. And Shizuru.
Even Tsumugi says Otsuki san is a good girl.
This woman has a bad character! I’m the only one who thinks so.
I’m starting to think this world is an Otsuki harem.
“But you see,…… I have a younger sister too, and I’m worried about her, aren’t I? She’s in kindergarten, and I’m really worried if she gets a boy she gets along with!”
“Yeah, I guess so. No,…… maybe that’s normal.”
“Eh?”
“I’m the older brother and I can tell you that Arisa grew up too beautifully. I think that’s why she hates men so much.”
“That’s ……”
I remember the aggressive Arisa when we first met.
Even Reo was a strong enemy… That’s right.
“Honestly, I was more worried about that. But it seems like you changed Arisa.”
His eyes, which had been showing a sharp expression, seemed to have become calm.
In his own way, he was worried about Arisa, so maybe he came to see me instead of Arisa today.
“Besides, there are no bad people who make good food.”
“What’s that ……pfft?”
It’s funny because he’s Arisa’s older brother, and what he says is a little off.
Before I knew it, I started talking with Shizuru-san.
Time seemed to fly by as we talked about Arisa, school, Shizuru, and swimming.
“Can you cook other meals?”
“Yes, in one way or another. I can’t do it as elaborate as Otsuki-san though.”
“It has been a long time since I’ve had Shizuku’s food. But now that Shizuku has a boyfriend, I can’t just casually ask her to make a meal for me.”
It’s a very complicated relationship.
If I recommend Otsuki-san, she falls in love with onii san again and Reo gets his heart broken.
And then there is a crack in the childhood friendship and Arisa cries. I can’t let that future happen. What I can do.
“If that’s the case, I’ll cook! I’ll make the meal that Shizuru-san likes.”
“Hmmm”
Onii san stares at me.
“Then I’ll ask you to make it for me.”
“Eh?”
“After graduating from high school, I’m planning to go abroad on an expedition, but I have a serious problem with food. Although it’s not as bad as Arisa, I also have a hard time with the opposite gender, so I’d like to solidify my relationship with the same gender as much as possible. I want to secure excellent human resources as soon as possible.”
“I-I’m just an amateur!”
“I’ll hire a professional nutritionist, so don’t worry about that. I like you. I want you to be a part of my future.”
“Shizuru. What are you talking about?”
Suddenly, Arisa appeared with an angry expression on her face.
She looked down at her brother who was sitting on a chair with his arms crossed.
He lifted his head and looked at Arisa.
“You did a good job finding me. I appreciate it.”
“It couldn’t have been for you! Oh, I smell pancakes.
Ryoma, you made them!”
“That’s the thing. ……onii san ate all of them.”
“Ha? the other …….”
“I used all the ingredients.”
“It was delicious.”
Pakonn! Arisa smacks her brother on the head.
I think I’m beginning to see the relationship between these two.
(A/N:
