Chapter 131: Sisterly Love

“Harem, harem group ……” Hetty had a hard time imagining that she could even hear such a word in reality, and her entire being was shocked beyond belief, while Sakurajima Apricot, who didn’t know if she was joking or not, had a mysterious smile on her face as she followed close behind and led her towards the dining table.

Hayakawa, still a bit nervous, followed Hetty, peeking at her twice every now and then.

Aoi Natsuki also felt Hetty’s resistance, and then when all the dishes were served, he also sat in a more distant position, with the main seat still reserved for Sakura ……

Hmm?

When he came back to his senses, Sakurajima had then taken his own seat to his left, both on the edge, and Hayakawa, seeing that Natsuki had no more seat beside him, had to sit next to Sakurajima, going down the line so that Hetty could only sit on the opposite side.

Sakurajima Apricot picked up chopsticks, clamped a piece of potato cake into her mouth, tasted a small mouthful, the rich aroma overflowed in her mouth, and when she opened her mouth, she also exhaled two mouthfuls of hot air.

“So delicious.”

She said in a low voice.

“More food then, and more burnt for lunch today.”

Sakurajima Apricot looked at the potato pancakes in the small bowl, the corners of her mouth rose, “Well …… if there’s any dish that you can’t pinch, I’ll pinch it for you oh.”

“It’s okay, I’ll just stand up.”

“How much trouble is that, just tell me.”

The conversation between the two sounded to onlookers like two young lovers, and Hetty tasted a mouthful of the kombucha soup, which at once dispelled the cold from her body, and gave a shiver of enjoyment to the extent that her whole face became more rounded.

Noticing the inexplicably ambiguous flavor of the two men’s words and their intimate state, she thought for a moment that Sakurajima was in a relationship with the boy named Arai in front of her, but ……

Hetty’s eyes strayed.

The gaze of Hayakawa, who was sitting on the left side of Sakurajima, had also been observing the state of the two people next to him, with a sneaky little look that seemed to cover another layer of meaning.

Hetty frowned slightly, the speed of eating became slower and slower, and after a few seconds she simply kept biting the chopsticks, watching the movement of Hayakawa’s left thumb constantly clasping the knuckles of his index finger, the whole palm of his hand was red and white, obviously a distraught and nervous look.

That’s when a bold idea came to Hetty’s mind.

It’s hard to believe that …… the matter of reaching a consensus on the harem is just Sakurajima himself!

That means that the scene in front of us is actually Shura instead?

Hetty’s teeth bit down on the chopsticks, gradually exerting herself, her gaze becoming sharper, a golden gossipy dorky hair rising on top of her head, and after a few seconds had passed, she suddenly smiled sarcastically in her heart, ”No, it can’t be, can it? This should be one’s own illusion, right? How can such an ordinary boy be liked by two girls at the same time, the Shura field and so on, appearing in reality, is not too far away from ……”

Hetty lowered her head slightly, looking embarrassed as her gaze turned to look further to her right.

In the next second, the line of sight saw Ayano, who was sitting next to her, similarly peeking over to Aoi Natsuki’s side from time to time! And this moment of peeking just happened to be perfectly captured by her!

It’s a lie!

It’s not just a Shura, it’s a three-person Shura!

Hetty shook inside.

At the same time, a myriad of questions festered in the mind.

It’s all there about how three girls can maintain such a good and peaceful relationship.

Aoi Natsuki? ……

What kind of man are you that you can get so many girls?

Hetty narrowed her eyes, for the first time, she began to pay attention to a member of the opposite sex for more than ten seconds, as the nation’s most recognizable idol, performing for a long period of time, unconsciously subconsciously ignoring the looks of the passersby, especially when it was like the boy in front of her, who was sort of a clean-cut but not exactly a handsome type of guy, and how she could not create any memory points for him.

But just today, after she realized the other’s “ability”, she completely memorized the boy’s face.

……

The meal is over half full.

“Hetty …… is it?”

Ayano, who was on the sidelines, suddenly chimed in.

“Aye! I am.” Hetty responded suddenly.

“Hetty you’re really good looking na! Are you working full time as an idol now?” Ayano unapologetically scanned her body from top to bottom as she spoke.

Aoi Natsuki, who was sitting across from him, also subconsciously cast his eyes over, and he also felt that as an idol, this blonde girl’s external conditions were particularly outstanding.

Japanese people’s legs are on the short side, and some of the rollover, but this girl legs are very straight, in addition to the waist is also particularly thin, delicate and smooth skin, full of collagen, as the moe system prevails in Japan, different face types have their own market, like her such as goose-egg face, impeccable high nose, doll doll-like big eyes, lips like cherries, the sweater’s turtleneck also trimmed her jaw, highlighting her swan neck, visual estimate 160 height, weight should be only 85 pounds.

Aoi Natsuki’s gaze gazed at her for the first time, and it didn’t take long for the values of the ranks that were available about her to pop up.

Properly S-ranked, with a goodwill rating right at -7. It felt like the other guy apologizing to himself earlier had pulled a lot of points from that goodwill rating.

“Well, currently it’s on full time.”

“And how old are you now?”

“Well …… I guess that makes me sixteen.”

“Eh! Wouldn’t that be the same size as us! Is there no problem on the school side?” Ayano asked again.

“Because of my special situation, I don’t have to go to the school side for the time being, but I still need to review, and I’ll go back to take the exams at the midterm and the end of each study period.”

“Ohhhh, so.” Ayano nodded her head repeatedly, her eyes still falling on her upper body, the sight naked, at this point, if she was replaced with a strange middle-aged man, Hetty would probably just call the police to deal with it, luckily she was a flawless beauty.

“But Hetty your waist is really thin, can I touch it?”

“Of course not!” Hetty’s eyes immediately glanced across the room at Natsuki Aoi, moved in front of Ayano, put her hand in front of her mouth, and whispered, “Can’t you see there’s a boy?”

“What’s the problem?” Ayano’s simple, dull eyes met hers, and Hetty couldn’t read any other meaning in her eyes; she was genuinely asking the question out of curiosity.

Murphy …… she is natural?

Hetty’s heart rejoiced, natural beauty is also quite popular in this era! If one could become an idol, if one could become an idol!

As a member and supervisor of the AKB group, it was her duty to attract more talented people to join!

The thought of it made the mood surge.

In the next second, his hands excitedly gripped Ayano’s right hand, and his voice turned higher, “Together, let’s be national idols together!”

Aoi Natsuki who heard that almost choked on her food, why did that sound so familiar? Then, after thinking for a moment, the figure of an academy idol surfaced in his mind.

He then turned his attention to Ayano as well, to see what her reaction would be.

The whole room was quiet for a moment, even the sound of chewing stopped with it.

Ayano’s eyes opened wide, blinking her clear pupils, and after staying for a full three or four seconds, her mouth opened slightly, “Don’t ……”

Hetty was petrified on the spot.

“Why, why? Being an idol can get just as much attention, and there are more opportunities for you to be involved when some of your favorite novels or manga works are adapted, so why not?”

“Because I just want to be a manga artist.” Ayano said with a straight face.

“But drawing manga is just too much in Japan, and with a condition like yours, becoming an idol instead is the only way to ……”

“Ahhhhh! No listen, no listen, I just want to be a manga artist!” Ayano’s head shook like a rattle, and Hetty knew the other woman’s firm conviction was unshakeable.

But she remained curious.

“So, what was it about?” Hetty asked with a compensatory smile.

Ayano pouted, chewing delicately on a grain of rice stuck to her chopsticks, her eyes downcast, looking at the rice bowl in front of her, and said slowly, “Because …… family.”

Family?

Hetty naturally wasn’t aware of the Ayano family, but Natsuki Aoi had heard them mention it before.

Is it because of the parents?

Ayano’s parents were away from home all year round, they said they were coming back a while ago but ended up not being able to come back for a while due to work, more than that he wasn’t sure, but what he could guess was that Ayano’s dream of becoming a manga artist most likely had something to do with her parents.

The form of manga and novels is actually some wild imaginations of childhood shining through to reality, released to the Internet for dissemination, but there are also some people who use it as an emotional support, before Ayano often drew and was returned, which has nothing to do with her drawing skills themselves, her level of drawing is considered good, but her flaws are some common sense errors and raw depiction of the characters’ emotions and dialogues between the characters.

Because growing up it was basically just her and her sister.

That’s right!

Aoi Natsuki suddenly brightened up, a possibility coming to his mind.

Followed by a gaze firmly fixed on Ayano.

This can’t be true ……

Hetty heard that this seems to be a sensitive topic, look at her look a little lost, then no longer pursue the question, the same girl, do not understand what happened, but the word family can always be empathetic, to be an idol also often have to think about the proportion between accompanying the family and the work, to sit in the second place of the annual general election of a national girl group, and how it is possible to rely on the face value alone.

She raised her right hand and gently rested it on the back of Ayano’s hand, who noticed it and was silent for a few seconds before a smile reappeared on her face and she raised her head, “Go on and eat!”

After saying that, as if all the unhappiness was swept away, he once again took a big bite of food and ate it.

The rest of them saw this and smiled at the corners of their mouths as they continued to start eating.

……

After the meal.

Hetty enthusiastically offered to do the dishes, and Natsuki Aoi gazed over to Apricot Sakurajima, who in turn nodded softly and pushed Hetty’s back as they walked into the kitchen together.

Natsuki Aoi had been a bit lazy in recent times, but it was a vacation after all, and it was nice to relax, and as long as she didn’t pay attention to the strange women around her and the unwarranted vitriol on the internet, life was still pretty good.

Always a little sleepy after a good meal, he stretched a bit, his eyes looking out to the living room, then noticing the large silky curtain fabric at the balcony fluttering in the wind, the glass door pulled open an opening, and on the balcony walkway, Ayano was leaning forward leaning against the parapet, looking out at the view.

Aoi remembered what had just happened and pondered a little, then he walked towards the balcony entrance and reached out to pull open the glass door, a cool breeze blew in, the temperature had picked up significantly in the late afternoon, the wind wasn’t chilly now, the sky stroked the sunlight through the cracks of the clouds and shone on his body, pouring in the slightest bit of warmth.

Standing in the aisle and looking out the window, the view was spectacular.

Looking out from the height of two dozen floors, not quite a sweeping view of the mountains, but far beyond ordinary buildings, everything on the street became small, tiny street signs, tiny drink vending machines, tiny cars stopped at red lights.

He turned his head to the right, and to the side Ayano had her cell phone in her hand, taking pictures of the view in front of her.

When she noticed Natsuki’s appearance, she didn’t hesitate to open her cell phone’s photo album and showed him the image she had just captured, “How’s it? It’s good material for drawing manga, right?”

So it’s taking a scene.

Aoi Natsuki thought she was in a bad mood and had come out to blow off steam.

Surely he was overthinking it, how could a natural agonize for an hour over an annoyance.

“Not bad, I remember a lot of manga people would turn into manga through real life scenes to emphasize the sense of realism, the details determine everything, if I were to think about it ……” Aoi Natsuki reached out and pointed to the ramen store on the opposite side of the street, “I would probably would never have imagined that next to the ramen store there would be a ‘Aonosai’ face care store, people will always subconsciously forget some insignificant things, but it is often these insignificant things that build this three-dimensional world.”

“Ohhh!” With surprise in her eyes, Ayano opened her mouth slightly and nodded her head repeatedly, “What you said Natsuki is so deep.”

“No la, you’ll always understand in the future.” Natsuki Aoi smiled slightly, and the two of them stood on the balcony with the wind blowing.

Not long after, Aoi Natsuki opened her mouth and asked, “Say, what was the opportunity for you to start drawing manga in the first place? It seems like I’ve never heard you talk about it, and all along I’ve felt that you, like me, belonged to the category of being influenced by your childhood, and that’s why you’re interested in this aspect of drawing.”

“Well …… it’s partly that, I guess, no! I should say there’s a large degree of that.” Ayano thought carefully.

Natsuki Aoi froze, “But didn’t you just mention your family during dinner? It was when that blonde girl asked you if you wanted to be an idol.”

“You’re talking about this incident, that, that’s a long time ago memory, Natsuki do you want to hear about it too?” Ayano remembered what happened once upon a time and was a bit embarrassed all of a sudden.

“It’s not exactly break time, so go ahead, I’m all ears.”

Aoi Natsuki gazed ahead, her body slowly relaxing as she too rested both arms on the guardrail.

Then Ayano started to talk about the old days, while talking the index fingers of both hands kept touching back and forth, being able to see her shy, it was really rare, and Aoi Natsuki became even more curious.

“The reason I continue to insist on drawing manga is really because of my family, I remember it was when I was eleven years old, and at that time there was still a hit TV show ‘Saito’s Catastrophe’, and there was an episode in which the main male character hears the main female character singing for the first time in a ktv, and I thought it was so good that I learned to sing along with it, and one day I was just watching the show in the living room of my house, and my sister just happened to come in through the door. came in and was crying.”

“Takahashi Mito cried and cried?” Aoi Natsuki said in surprise.

“That’s for sure, the old sister was a crybaby, don’t you know that.”

“Ha…… did not expect that, go ahead.”

“Then I saw my sister crying, and when I asked it turned out to be that she fell when she came back and bumped her skin, I saw the wound at that time, and it was also particularly heartbreaking ah, I don’t know how, in order to coax my sister to be happy, I ghostly sang that single song in the fandango, and later on, my sister really didn’t cry after listening to it, but later on, I realized that it wasn’t because I sang it so well, it’s because I sang it so badly that it amused her.”

Ayano spoke, spreading her palms helplessly.

Aoi Natsuki laughed out loud.

“It is from that time onwards, I think the cartoon is to bring happiness to people, I officially began to draw, at first the drawing is particularly bad, are for my sister to see the draft, it can be said that my black history of drawing basically have been seen by my sister, but she never complained Oh, has always been very supportive of my dream, although it has been a failure, but she has always been encouraging me, mom and dad do not At home, my sister is the only motivation for me to draw comics, it can be said that in these years, without my sister, it is simply impossible for me to persist up to now, so my sister is the reason why I started to draw comics, but also the reason why I insisted on not giving up on comics, she will always be my favorite family member.”

“So it is.” Aoi Natsuki nodded.

He guessed wrong, originally thought Ayano was drawing manga as a kind of spiritual support because her parents were away, but did not realize that the family she was talking about was not her parents but Takahashi Mito, the two sisters supported each other and grew up with each other, although the subsequent growth of this person Takahashi Mito was a bit crooked, but this does not affect the fact that she is a good sister in the slightest.

“Of course there’s another reason, and that’s that I’m really pentatonic in my singing, and I’m afraid that being an idol or whatever is more of a disaster than any experience I’ve ever had drawing comics.”

“So want to give me a double take here now?”

“No way, I’m a terrible old singer.”

“It’s okay, just a couple of words.”

“Ha! Natsuki you’re talking to me in that childish tone again! Hmph! Ignore you!”

“Sorry, sorry la ……”

……

Indoor.

Sakurajima and Hetty, who had finished washing the dishes, walked out of the kitchen and into the living room, and the first thing they saw were two people talking and laughing at the balcony.

The two men looked different.

“I can’t tell what you all like about that boy, each one amuses you so much.” Hetty was puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Sakurajima Apricot revealed a meaningful smile and slowly said, “You’ll know later.”

“Huh? Later? What do you mean by that, Sakurajima?”

“It’s literally just that.” Sakurajima Apricot shrugged, preferring to be the riddler she wasn’t going to explain much, and despite the curious Hetty pestering her, she narrowed her eyes and smiled, not saying another word.

It’s going to kill Hetty’s OCD!

What do you mean, you’ll know later? What’s the reason? What exactly does “later” mean?
