Miharu: Be yourself

After eating buckwheat noodles, the Hongbai Song Concert ended. All the singers took the stage together to wish the audience a happy new year in front of the TV.

The bell rang far away in the night sky.

The new year is coming quietly.

"Happy New Year." Rin rubbed her eyes, her voice blurred, "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep."

"Go and brush your teeth first," Mrs. Sakura insisted.

"Un."

After Mrs. Sakura finished speaking, she looked at Nanako again, and said softly:

"Nanako-chan, you sleep with Rin tonight."

"Thank you, Aunt."

Nanako obediently agreed.

Naoki has no status, brushing his teeth can only be the last rank.

Seeing Nanako coming out of the bathroom, Naoki said in a low voice:

"Tonight..."

"Impossible! Give up!"

Before Naoki could finish speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Nanako.

"It's not at home, what if someone heard when I went to your room?"

Nanako's face turned red, and she kicked her with her toe unceremoniously, "Don't fill your head with dirty liquid!"

"What are you talking about?" Naoki looked innocent "I want to remind you not to sleep with Rin under the same blanket at night."

"Uh, why?"

"Because Rin will crawl like a caterpillar, wrapping all the blankets under her body." Naoki said in a low tone "I don't want you to wake up shivering at night, it's better to sleep on the blanket yourself."

"Wait a moment."

Nanako suddenly narrowed her eyes, "How did you know that Rin rolled up the blanket when she was sleeping?"

Naoki said without changing his expression:

"As the older brother, it's normal to sleep with the younger sister, right?"

"Pooh!"

...

Finish washing.

Naoki came to the second floor, opened the door and entered his room.

Even though he had moved on to be independent, he would occasionally return to stay for a night, and rooms were naturally booked.

"Come to celebrate New Year's Eve together?"

Naoki picked up his cell phone and sent a message to Nanako.

"Giving up, that's impossible, don't even think about it."

Nanako has a firm attitude, she doesn't want to be belittled, she doesn't agree to sneak, "I'm sleeping, don't disturb me."

...

Naoki couldn't sleep for a while, so he logged into the game.

Miku online as expected, typical internet addicted girl.

If not for his sister taking care of her, she might have degenerated into a girl in Hikokomori like that certain good-for-nothing angel who spends all his time spending money on games.

[Translator Notes : Gabriel DropOut]

"The others are celebrating New Year's Eve on the streets of Ginza, and you are spending New Year's Eve alone in the game. It is not good."

Naoki sent a message to Miku.

Miku: "So?"

Naoki: "Take me to play together."

...

At the same time.

Kirisu's house.

"Miharu, I'm going to take a bath."

Mafuyu took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom.

Miharu quickly raised her hand: "I want to take a bath with Onee-sama."

"I refuse." Mafuyu said sadly, "We just took a bath together last night."

"I will sleep with Onee-sama tonight."

"...Can."

Mafuyu hesitated for two seconds and agreed.

After all, today was New Years, so she couldn't keep rejecting Miharu.

"I like Onee-sama the most!"

...

Miharu was sitting on the sofa, holding Panda pillow in her arms, her legs curled up.

"Look at the cell phone..."

Covering her mouth and yawning, Miharu picked up her phone, looked at it, and suddenly saw a message from Naoki.

"Miharu-san, Happy New Year."

There are only simple sentences, and no advanced content.

"Happy New Year should be written on a New Year greeting card." Miharu puffed out her cheeks a little "And there's only one sentence, too much."

Her eyes fell on the cellphone next to her, and Miharu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I don't know what New Year's message Asakawa will send for Onee-sama?"

Once curiosity is born, it is like a prairie fire, which makes people scratch their heads.

"Stand."

"Can not!"

"It's not right to peek at Onee-sama's phone, only brats do stuff like that!"

The phone suddenly vibrates.

Miharu was surprised, and hurriedly looked at the cell phone.

"Is this a message from Asakawa?"

After struggling for a while, Miharu finally couldn't help but stretch out his right hand, and took Mafuyu's cell phone.

"Just look, put it down after reading it..."

No password is set on the phone, so it's easy to enter the chat interface.

Miharu's heart beat involuntarily and accelerated, while straining her ears to eavesdrop on the movement in the bathroom, while holding her breath while looking at the cell phone.

Actually peeking at Onee-sama's chatter, she sure is being a good girl!

"Mafuyu-chan, happy new year."

The first message is a very common New Year's text message.

Miharu feels something is wrong.

Naoki called her older sister Mafuyu-chan, and he called herself Miharu-san, seniority is messed up, right?

Second message.

"Homemade buckwheat noodles."

Picture.

Picture.

Picture.

"That looks delicious."

Miharu gave an evaluation.

"The Red and White Song Contest is over, please give your suggestions for next year."

Then there is the new message that was just received.

"Is it because too many people visited the shrine during the New Year, and you accidentally got lost?"

Naoki sent many messages to Mafuyu, but Miharu only got one.

And Onee-sama isn't a child, so how could she get lost.

Miharu turned her head and glanced at the bathroom, with a doubtful expression: "Onee-sama took a long bath..."

After hesitating, Miharu decided to help reply to the message.

"Happy New Year. I just finished watching the Red and White Song Festival. This year's Red and White Song Festival was really fun. I played mahjong with my parents for a while before I saw the news. I will go to the temple to pay my respects after dawn."

Naoki didn't think much, and replied to the message casually.

"Without sensei's knee pad, I will die. When will the ten knee pads Sensei lost in the bet cash out?"

"Eh? Hassock?"

Miharu opened her eyes wide "There are ten more!"

She hasn't enjoyed Onee-sama's knee pads for a long time, Asakawa actually has ten, envy and hate!

"I see, come back and give you a knee pillow."

Miharu replied subconsciously.

"Okay?"

Naoki sensed something was wrong.

With Mafuyu's character, she can only say that there are no knee pads, so how can she agree so gently?

"Sensei, have you been drinking?"

"I drink some sake, but not too much."

Naoki: "Drinking without telling me beforehand, you forgot will be punished?"

"Hah?"

Miharu looked at the cell phone, blinked blankly, and couldn't help but say carefully: "What punishment?"

Seeing the message, Naoki could confirm that it was definitely not Mafuyu.

Because there is no penalty at all.

Since the other party is not Mafuyu, the identity of the person who answered will soon be revealed.

"Sensei promised me before that if I drink outside, he will cook for me..."

Seeing the message, Miharu couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Just cooking?

It doesn't matter.

It's not a punishment at all.

Naoki continued: "Naked Apron or Magical Girl, sensei chose a uniform for cooking."

"What's that!"

Miharu opened her eyes wide and it was just cooking, why was something weird mixed in?

That's all for a Magical Girl, but also having a naked apron… Miharu can't help but picture it in her mind.

...

Mafuyu with his wife's hairstyle and wearing only a naked apron knelt behind the entrance, speaking softly:

"Welcome home, should we eat first, or eat me first?"

...

Impossible!

Miharu shook her head quickly, elder sister is so dignified she wouldn't agree to such a thing!

"100% refusal."

Miharu tried his best to imitate Mafuyu's tone.

Naoki smiled faintly and continued:

"Because you cheated, from now on, the punishment will be doubled."

"It will double again?"

Miharu held her breath nervously, the naked apron was just an ordinary punishment, how terrible would it be to double up?

"Call me Master." Naoki's orders.

"Eh?"

"What Sensei said directly, shouldn't you forget about it? You said it before, and next time, you will call me Master."

"Calling the master or something… This isn't a manga anymore, it's some kind of plot that only appears in hentai manga!"

Miharu's face turned red, her legs were tight together, she wanted to drop her phone and leave, but she knew she couldn't run away now.

When Mafuyu comes out later, she will definitely reveal his secret. The only way is to quickly end the chat, then delete the chat history secretly.

The current situation is that the arrow is on the string and must be launched.

"Fast." Naoki pressed "Why haven't you spoken yet?"

Miharu bit her lower lip, finally felt sad and chose to give in, typing out a reply carefully:

"Masters."

"Huuu—"

Miharu pressed her left hand against her chest, and could clearly hear her fast heartbeat.

It was the first time in her 19 year old life to address a male as Master, and it was so embarrassing, her heart was about to jump out!

Naoki: "Yes, continue."

Miharu pursed her lips, and asked carefully, "...what to proceed?"

"Of course say you like me."

"That kind of thing…"

The temperature on Miharu's face rose again, and there was moisture rising from the top of her head. After doing it once, the second time was much easier.

Estimating the time when Mafuyu would burst out in his heart, Miharu bit her lower lip and edited the message with a red face:

"I like Asakawa."

"Not enough, say important things three times."

....

The feeling of bullying Miharu ll was pretty good.

Even though she is a college student, she is as innocent as a sheet of paper, completely ignorant of the evil human heart!

"Stop talking, I'm going to take a shower."

Hearing movement in the bathroom, Miharu hurriedly sent a message, then nervously deleted the chat history.

Naoki was about to go to sleep when he suddenly received a new message.

"Asakawa-san, are you asleep yet?"

It was a message from Furuhashi.

"It wasn't long before I lay down." Naoki quickly replied, "Does that have anything to do with uncle?"

While watching the previous Red and White Song Festival, Naoki asked Furuhashi if she wanted a New Year's greeting. After thinking about it, Furuhashi said that she didn't need it for now. She didn't expect to do it.

"Yes."

Furuhashi replied softly: "After Dad got drunk, I helped him back to the room. He was just taking a shower, and I was about to see how Dad was sleeping, then I heard Dad call Mom's name again."

His wife had been dead for several years, but he still couldn't get over her. Once drunk, he would call his dead wife's name. New Year's wishes must be fulfilled!

"I'll be there soon."

Naoki used teleportation, and the figure suddenly disappeared.

The next second, he appeared in Furuhashi's room.

"I come." Naoki said.

"What..."

Furuhashi exhaled softly, and couldn't help but complain: "Why every time you teleport, you always appear behind other people!"

"It's related to quantum mechanics." Naoki said earnestly "Know Schrödinger's cat?"

"When not observed by humans, it will be in a quantum state of either on or off."

"The same goes for teleportation, the location of the teleportation cannot be observed by me."

"Sorry, I don't understand at all." Furuhashi was angry "Quantum mechanics is hesitancy, right?"

"Correct answer."

Furuhashi had obviously just taken a shower, and his hair was still wet.

"Happy New Year." Naoki brought a hair dryer "Why did you just take a shower?"

"Dad is drunk, so I can only clean the living room by myself." Furuhashi sat on a chair and asked Naoki to help dry his hair. "I take a shower when I wake up in the morning, I don't plan to take a shower at night. Who knows after cleaning, I'm sweating hot, always feel uncomfortable."

A warm wind blows.

The fruity scent of the shampoo and conditioner quickly fills the air.

"On Christmas Eve, dad saw mom in a dream world. If dad sees mom again today, I'm afraid dad really thinks he can see mom when he's drunk."

Furuhashi bit her lower lip slightly, and her tone was worried.

On the one hand, she wanted to fulfill his father's New Year's wish, and she also wanted to hold a New Year's reunion. On the other hand, she is worried that his father will become an alcoholic.

"Simple." Naoki ran his fingers through Furuhashi's hair, "After entering the dream world, just ask your mother to ban alcohol. Uncle will definitely obey."

Furuhashi's eyes lit up: "It seems fine. For as long as I can remember, Dad has always listened to Mom."

"Rizu said before that the next time I go to the dream world to play, I want to give her a call." Naoki put down the hairdryer "You want to call her?"

"Forget it." Furuhashi hesitated for a moment, then quickly shook his head, "It's already past 12 at night, Ricchan should have slept long ago, let's talk about it another time."

Naoki nodded: "Did I turn off the light?"

"Close it."

"Would you like to turn off the air conditioner?"

"No, it's too cold to turn it off, I can't sleep at night."

"Leave the task of warming the bed to me, and let the air conditioner rest for a while."

"I refuse." Furuhashi got angry "Quickly turn off the lights and go to sleep, I have made an appointment with Kashima-chan and the others. We will go to the temple for the New Year's service together tomorrow morning."

Naoki turned off the light and walked to the bed "Aren't you going with uncle?"

"Dad said he didn't want to go." Furuhashi shook his head, "Since Mom left, he hasn't visited the New Year's shrine."

"Uncle has worked hard." Naoki said seriously, "New Year's wishes must be fulfilled!"
