Chapter 8

As Saira finished Packing, she changed her clothes quickly. She wore a white shirt with an adorable sheep as its logo, high-waisted shorts, a blue shirt-style coat, and white cotton socks. Saira thought of wearing something simple and easy to move with since she has to carry her things. Saira made sure to close the windows and electricity. Saira did not pack all her things she just packed the things that she thought that she will be using while staying there and in case she has something she needs she can always drop by her apartment.

Tadame and Saira put the luggage in the car trunk and drove on their way to Tadame's house. Tadame and Saira arrived home. It was so big, luxurious, and aesthetic. Once Tadame and Saira entered the house, Tadame turned towards Saira.

▫️Tadame: " Welcome home, Saira-Chan." said with a tender lovely smile.

After Tadame said that, rushing footsteps could be heard, A girl came running from upstairs to the entrance.

▫️Usagi: " Where is she! Where is she! Kata Onii-Chan, Yo Onii-Chan [she call Katashi = Kata and Yoshinori = Yo brothers] come out quickly! She came!"

Said while coming down the stairs. Usagi turned to Tadame and Saira's way and paused once she saw Saira.

▫️Usagi: "You!! This morning girl!!" said with a loud voice covering her mouth with her palm. Tadame looked at Saira and looked back at Usagi. She asked them if they have known each other. Saira answered Tadame and told her that they have met for the first time this morning before the exams.

▫️Tadame: "Oh! Is that so? It must be a fate for us to meet then (chuckled) "

▫️Usagi: "Mom, you, and the fate thing again. I don't think there is such a thing and I don't believe in it. It's just a coincidence and it mostly to happen because most of the schools have to take their high school entrance exam there. You don't have to think so romantically like that." said with a board voice while looking at her mother, Tadame.

Katashi and Yoshinori walked down the stairs as Usagi's voice was getting louder. At first when Usagi told them to come down they did not move fast because they assumed it was another prank from their sister. Before Saira and Tadame arrives home, Usagi kept telling Katashi and Yoshinori that their mother and the unknown girl have arrived. However, she just called for them for fun and see their reactions. Yoshinori walked calmly but was well dressed, neat, and handsome. Katashi wore his poker face but was nervous as he was worried that the unknown girl might be one of those crazy fans of him who would do anything and seduce him as his sister said. Usagi thought that it was fun to watch. She was also amazed and disappointed at how their reaction as the attitude was the same thing every time she called them out.

This time when Tadame and Saira arrived home for real Yoshinori and Katashi did not respond quickly. They took their time and came down the stairs as to expect to find their younger sister say "They did not come~ it's a prank~" however when they came and looked ahead of them this time their mother and the unknown girl came for real.

Saira was surprised when she saw Katashi as well as him.

▫️Katashi: "Aoki-San?!" [ In Japan, most of the time people call each other by their family name. It's formal]

This is was the first time Katashi called Saira probably, usually, he would say hey, you, you or just say the thing he wants to say straight at the point. Though he did not say her first name and just said her surname it was alright for Saira for now.

Saira did not say anything as she could not believe what she seeing. Everyone turned to Katashi.

▫️Usagi: " Onii-Chan, You know her?" asked curiously.

▫️Katashi: "Yes, she is my Kohai (Junior) from junior high school."

▫️Yoshinori: "Then aren't you supposed to call her by her name?"

▫️Katashi: "... Well, I guess so..." For some reason, Katashi couldn't call Saira by her name. He found it awkward for unexplainable reason. It just tickles him.

Usagi walked near her mother while looking at Katashi and peeking a glance at Saira.

▫️Usagi: " Mom, I take back what I said... For some reason, I have an unexplainable feeling about those two. I feel like things are going to be pretty exciting and fun to watch."

Tadame giggled at how her daughter is thinking. She also hoped that something will happen between those two. She thought that if Saira would become her daughter in law she then won't be worried about Saira that much and Saira for sure would be happy. She will make sure that would happen and she will make sure that Saira can feel the warmth and love of a complete happy family.

Saira snapped out of her thoughts and confusion and bowed politely to introduce herself.

▫️Saira: "I'm Saira Aoki. Nice to meet you and please kindly look after me."

▫️Yoshinori: "It's nice to meet you, but please come in first and make yourself comfortable. I'll take your things and put them in your room."

▫️Tadame: " Oh! Right, why are we still standing! Please Come inside Saira-Chan."

▫️Saira: " Thank you. (Ojama Shimasu) Sorry for disturbing you."

Tadame, Usagi, and Saira walked to the living room while Yoshinori and Katashi took Saira's luggage to her room.

▫️Tadame: " Oh! Right, just now was my eldest son Yoshinori he is in his first year in medical school, and you know Katashi he is my second son."

▫️Usagai: " And I'm Usagi. Please talk to me comfortably since we are the same age, and I hope we can get closer Saira-Chan."

▫️Saira: " umm me too"

Not long, Yoshinori and Katashi joined them in the living room. Yoshinori walked towards Saira and introduced himself probably.

▫️Yoshinori: " Sorry for the late introduction. (bowed politely) I'm Yoshinori the eldest son and the eldest brother. You can call me Yo-Kun. Hope we can get along together."

[ Kun = is generally used by people of senior status addressing or referring to those of junior status, by anyone addressing or it can be used when referring to men in general, male children or male teenagers, or among male friends.]

Saira stood up from the sofa and bowed back politely.

▫️Saira: "It's ok... May I call you Yo-San? After all to call you Kun right away is a little..."

Yoshinori smiled gently and nodded his head.

▫️Yoshinori: " It's the first time someone ever called me that, but as long as you are comfortable I don't mind. However, when you get used to staying here and know each other more things will change right? Saira-Chan?"

▫️Usagi: " Yes, after all, we are going to live together and San is so formal and looks a little bit distant, right?, Saira-Chan?"

Saira nodded in agreement.

▫️Tadame: " Then Usagi-Chan, please come and help me in the kitchen, Yo-Kun, you are going out, right? Then Kata-Kun may you please give Saira-Chan a tour of the house? After that Saira-Chan please relax until we are done preparing dinner."

Katashi nodded and Saira thanked Tadame and followed Katashi.

Katashi introduced Saira to the first floor which included his father's office, guest room, toilet room, bathroom, laundry room, kitchen, and the glass garden room which is connected to the living room. The second floor included Katashi's parent's bedroom, His brother's bedroom, His bedroom, Usagi's bedroom, Saira's bedroom, the bathroom, toilet room, and the terrace.

After they finished their tour Katashi asked Saira about the exam and how she did. Saira told him that it was nice and everything went smoothly.

▫️Katashi: " I heard from sensei that we would be at the same high school."

▫️Saira: " Ah... Yes, I guess." said while avoiding Katashi's eyes. When Saira looked away, he thought that Saira lacked confidence.

▫️Katashi: " What's wrong with your reaction. You've worked hard, so you should be proud of yourself."

Saira blushed lightly "It's not like that. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable... I think..." said Saira in her inner thoughts.

▫️Katashi: "Ok, Then, please make yourself at home and take a warm bath I will be in the living room." Katashi turned around as to leave. However...

▫️Saira: " Katashi-Senpai...thank you."

When Saira said that he turned back and faced Saira with a gentle smile.

▫️Katashi: "You are welcome. And by the way, I'm relieved that it was you who is staying. I was worried that some weird girl would be staying when I heard that she is from my junior high school. Well then, make yourself comfortable." Said Katashi and went downstairs to the living room.
