"Come in!"
Onee-chan seems happier than usual. Her tone was that of happiness. Has something happened? Does she feel better than usual? But without minding me, Nanami-san opened the door and we all went in with Kuno-san coming in last, gripping my hand for dear life.
As soon as I entered… I blushed furiously. B-Because there's a very pretty girl inside the room! She's sat next to Onee-chan's bed! The girl is a very well endowed woman, even more well endowed than Nanami-san! She has dark like chocolate brown her with lighter brown eyes. She is wearing what appears to be a pink belly top with a star on the front and… she is wearing capri blue jeans. Her shoes are that of sandals that are white in colour.
When noticing me staring at this lovely girl, Nanami-san and Kuno-san both pull on my cheeks! O-Ow! Don't pull on my cheeks girls! It hurts my Sekirei! It really hurts!
""Don't look at her like that Totsuka-sama/Hidaka-san! Look at me like that!""
They then glared at one another… well, Nanami-san glared while Kuno-san whimpered and looked away while hiding behind me again. Ehehe, yeah, Kuno-san isn't going to win against Nanami-san.
"Oh, Chiho. Who's this?"
The girl with the long brown haired asked Onee-chan as I have a dumbfounded look on my face. Like, who is this girl? But as I thought that, Nanami-san's eyes from beside me narrow in suspicion? Is she suspicious of this girl? Even I admit to be a little suspicious.
Onee-chan coughed into her hand then pointed at me.
"Uzume-chan. I've told you about my Otouto, right?"
Uzume...san? This girl is called Uzume-san?
"Yeah! His name is...ummmmmm… Hidaka… Tatsumi! No, that isn't right… Totsuka! There we go! Hidaka Totsuka!"
"Hehehe, yes. That's right Uzume-chan. This is my Otouto Totsuka and the girl on the left is called Nanami-san and the other… well, I don't think we've had the pleasure."
She's giving me harsh eyes again! She did the same last time when I brought Nanami-san! I didn't choose any of this! They both chose me to be their Ashikabi! I never chose any of this! I bowed my head down to the floor.
"T...This girl is… Kuno-san. She is… erm… she is a close friend of mine. But more like, Onee-chan. Who is this girl?"
I pointed at this newly named Uzume-san who bowed her head with a cheery smile on her face.
"This is Uzume-san. I met her a few days ago. She's really nice, and has come to visit me ever since."
Oh… so Onee-chan has found someone to call friend? I'm glad! I'm happy that Onee-chan has a new friend… and they are holding hands really tightly… eheh… hmmmm, I always had my suspicions...
"S-So, you are friends?"
"Y-Yes! We are very good friends! But, why have you got suitcases with you?"
I knew she would ask about it. I wish she didn't but she did and now… well, I guess I will have to tell her… some kind of truth. She will know if I outright lie to her as she seems to know about those things, even if she didn't… catch onto the Nanami-san incident.
"W-Well… the truth is. Someone has completely destroyed my apartment. I don't even know why either. It happened the other day. I went to school while Nanami-san went out to go shopping for food. When we got back, everything was in pieces. Even the bed was broken. And that stupid landlord blames me for it! I-I said, why would I break my own living space? But he didn't listen to me at all, and now I'm… homeless along with these two."
Onee-chan looked taken back as Uzume-san bites her lip, looking a little angry about my tale. Even I'm angry about it. We've done nothing wrong, and we've been kicked out and now have nowhere to live...
"S-So… someone broke into your apartment and basically destroyed it and the landlord is blaming you? Uu, if I wasn't stuck in this bed then I would go and give that small narrow minded bigot a piece of my mind. You're going to have to find somewhere to live..."
I hung my head low, as I saw Nanami-san looking guilty again so I squeezed her hand. I don't believe its her fault. I gave her a reassuring smile.
"Y-Yeah… I will find somewhere eventually."
"Well, I think I might have a little solution, to that little problem!"
Eh? What did she say? Uzume-san has a solution to our problems?
"You do? What's that, Uzume-chan?"
Onee-chan asked. Uzume-san holds up her hands, and puts a small finger to her lips.
"Where I live, there are vacancies. I'm sure Miya would be totally cool about it given the circumstances. And the living spaces are quite a decent size. Hey cutie, you can pay around 50,000 yen a month for a room that has 6 tatami, right?"
D-Did she say 50,000 yen!? T-That's cheaper than I had been paying! And that sounds bigger than my place!
"THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!"
TACKLE!
I tackled Uzume-san into a hug and wouldn't let go! Seriously! This girl is amazing! Even if she is someone… very important to Onee-chan, she's now also important to me!
"Iyaaa! You sure are affectionate huh?"
She looked down at me with a little tinge of pink dusting her cheeks. I then realized why. My head is rubbing up against her large assets! My face became like a tomato and I moved away and sat on the floor with embarrassment and fear.
Embarrassment because of what I did. But also, fear from my Sekirei's. I can feel anger coming from both of them right now. I-I… am sorry my Sekirei girls! I-I didn't mean to do something like that!
"I...I am so sorry… I got too excited and… I… couldn't resist..."
I tried to do a small smile that was meant to look 'adorable' but I don't know if it came off like that. Whenever I anger Onee-chan, I usually do a small smile like this so I can get away with it. It usually works on Onee-chan.
"Nah, any little bro of Chiho is okay in my books! I was just taken back, that's all."
"Again… sorry. But thank you at the same time! Did you hear that girls!? We might have a place to stay!"
""Yay!""
My Sekirei jumped up and down for joy as Onee-chan and Uzume-san look on in a wondering stare, a stare that goes down to your very soul! The soul stare is very scary and they seem to be in synch with one another. But then Nanami-san came over and pulled on my ear!
"W-What are you doing!?"
"I-If Totsuka-sama wishes to hug someone so tightly then he can hug me so tightly. I am Totsuka-sama's… first… I would do anything for Totsuka-sama after all! So, will Totsuka-sama also hug me so tightly as well?"
"Y-Yes, of course Nanami-san."
I wrapped my arms around Nanami-san, then Kuno-san rushed and hugged me from behind!
"Damn, your Otouto is in a threeway relationship Chiho. I didn't know about this. Does player run in the family?"
I'm not a player! But Onee-chan's face has turned a little red before she shook her head from side to side.
"D-Don't be silly! I-I'm not like that!"
"Hehe, I think I've caught out Chiho~ She's a secret pervert~"
"I AM NOT A PERVERT!"
Onee-chan snapped at the girl with brown hair. Uzume-san however just smirks like a Devil, a contrast to what she looked like before. But I am happy. If we have a place to live then… well, I guess I will find out if I have a place to live soon.
"If you say so Chiho~"
Onee-chan adopted a pouty face. Hehe, Onee-chan don't be cute. Well, I hope that we have some kind of fun today. I just want Onee-chan to have a little fun before… no, I'm not going to think about that.
***
...That day we went having fun with Onee-chan. We did funny dances, sung weird songs and everything to make Onee-chan feel a little better, if only to make her forget about her illness for a short time. I hope that, when I do visit her, I am making her feel better about herself.
We left the hospital room, and left the hospital altogether. Uzume-san said that she will lead us to a place called Izumo Inn. Apparently, the place is run by someone called Asama Miya-san. And according to Uzume-san, she doesn't turn people away, which is always a plus for me!
If we are able to get to this place, then we will also… be able to live again. Have a place to live and not go from hotel to hotel hoping they have vacancies. I really hope that Asama-san has some...
Suddenly, after we had been walking for about 40 minutes, we stopped outside a building. A building that looks like an old fashioned Japanese style house. The house looks to be in pretty good condition.
"Is this the place, Uzume-san?"
"Aye! It certainly is~ Come on, I will introduce you to Miya~ She might seem scary but… she's even more scary than she appears!"
I sweatdropped at that. So this Miya-san is really scary? I have mixed feelings about this now. What if she is really nasty? I just had a bastard for a landlord, I don't want another one.
"Are you trying to put me off this or something?"
"Nope bro~ You now, its just funny watching you freak out~"
I again sweatdropped. She thought that it was funny watching me freak out? Nanami-san has a puzzled expression as Kuno-san just looks really scared. Eheehe… I'm right there with you Kuno-san. For once, I'm frightened also.
"...Okay… I'm plenty freaked out now. And I don't wish to be freaked out anymore..."
"Come on~ Lets go!"
Uzume-san then starts dragging me to the building named Izumo Inn. This is the place that I might be living, if I don't die from the very scary landlady! I just hope that Uzume-san is really just being over dramatic!
