Chapter 2 Returning Home
🕑 Added 2025-08-31 14:03:51 +0000 UTC"Huh, we're home~"
The fiery red setting sun hung in the sky, and the warm orange light illuminated Minamiya Yu and Seele who had returned to their residential area.
Upon hearing that the three of them were coming to the Far East to study, Cocolia immediately set about finding them several adjacent single-family houses. Each house was about 200 square meters in size, with two floors and a small yard for parking. The first floor had a living room, bathroom, kitchen and storage room for sundries. On the second floor were a master bedroom, a second bedroom, an empty room that could be arranged by oneself, a bathroom and a toilet. At the side, there was also a small terrace with good lighting for sunbathing and resting.
Here at Minamiya Yu's place, he converted the empty room into his own studio. Now he had no money and no people, so he had to do everything related to the game by himself. Fortunately, he had a clear memory, which was enough for him to snowball little by little according to the plan.
Walking through the tidy courtyard, the small stones protruding from the stone road irritated the soles of my feet, making them numb and itchy, and then they felt hot.
Click, the door was opened with the key, and Minamiya Yu and Seele, who had been walking around for a day, returned to the room one after another with a sense of ease.
Without buying too many things, she placed the small bag in her hand on the shelf beside her. Seele, who was following behind her, skillfully took out her own blue slippers from the shoe cabinet at the door. She also took out Minamiya Yu's pair and bent down to place them at his feet.
Minamiya Yu and Bronya live quite close to each other, just across a narrow road. They can see the windows on the opposite side by opening the window and they can reach each other in two steps. Therefore, Seele is naturally a frequent visitor here.
"Seele, the room upstairs has been cleaned up. Check right away to see if there is anything missing. After dinner, we will go to the convenience store together."
After stretching, Minamiya Yu walked slowly around the house. The fatigue from a whole day's walk seemed to disappear at this moment.
"Yeah, I know, brother~"
Seele picked up the small bag beside her, which contained some small handmade items. The weather at the end of March was still a little chilly, and the wind was quite strong recently. Seele wanted to take advantage of the few days off to help her brother knit a thin scarf.
The second bedroom upstairs was already filled with Seele's things. Minamiya Yu had planned this since Bronya's work flopped half a month ago. She then secretly contacted Seele and turned her into a little traitor. A few days later, she secretly transferred her things to her brother's house. Bronya was completely unaware of this.
Today, everything has finally been settled.
When passing by the kitchen, the room was not closed tightly. Through the large gap, a takeaway bag placed on the ground appeared in Minamiya Yu's sight.
In an instant, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously stood between Seele and the kitchen door.
Such an abnormality was noticed almost instantly by Seele, who grew up with her brother. Her eyes immediately became suspicious, and she squeezed her little head directly under her brother's armpit, ignoring her brother's somewhat smirking attempt to try to stop her. Although it was a little uncomfortable to be clamped by his arm, Seele got to see the scene in the kitchen as she wished.
Suddenly, the cute eyebrows frowned, and Seele pulled the little head out of her arms, pinched her waist, and looked at her brother with a little dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Brother, didn't we agree not to eat takeout anymore?!"
“This is not what I eat.”
Recalling the time when Seele scolded him for having diarrhea after eating takeout, Minamiya Yu forced himself to remain calm and responded calmly.
Seele didn't answer, but just looked at him straight with her sky blue eyes. The pure look in her eyes made Minamiya Yu feel uneasy, as if to say, they are all at brother's house, if it wasn't you who ate them, then who could have eaten them?
"It was Sugisaki. He came over to play with me yesterday and insisted on ordering takeout. I couldn't stop him."
"Real?"
Seele knew that this Sugisaki Ken was her brother's classmate and also a good friend of her brother. She had heard her brother talk about him several times before, but she had never met him.
"Really? Seele, you know me."
Taking a step forward, Minamiya Yu held Seele's little hand with a sincere look in his eyes.
The sudden attack startled Seele for a moment, and her voice became hesitant.
"Well, I know, I know, Seele, it's not enough to trust your brother."
Seele turned her head away, not daring to look into her brother's eyes again. Being so close to him in such a closed and private environment made her little heart start beating wildly.
However, she did not choose to break free. Instead, she moved silently closer to her brother with a blushing face.
Phew~
Minamiya Yu heaved a sigh of relief, looking at the somewhat shy Seele, which was exactly what he expected.
Growing up with Seele, how could he not know this little girl's weaknesses?
After holding her hand for a while and feeling Seele's soft little hand, Minamiya Yu reluctantly let her go and turned around to walk towards the stairs.
"Brother, forget it this time, but don't eat takeout next time."
"I know, I know..."
Before he finished speaking, Minamiya Yu's body stiffened for a moment, and he turned around suddenly. At this time, Seele's face no longer had any shy expression. Her cute brows frowned again, and she looked at him angrily: "Sure enough, this takeaway is for my brother to eat!"
"......"
It’s bad, his Seele has learned to play tricks, damn it, who taught her such bad things!
Recalling the past, Minamiya Yu was stunned for a moment.
Oh, it’s me, that’s okay.
After being successfully taught a lesson by Seele, and promising to either order food from familiar restaurants or eat food he cooked himself in the future, Minamiya Yu nodded repeatedly, indicating that what Seele said was right.
What a joke. Now that Seele is here, why would he still eat out? Isn't the food Seele made by herself delicious?
After throwing the garbage at the door, Seele skillfully took down the apron hanging on the wall and put it on easily in a few quick steps. Then she whispered a few words to her brother who was standing aside as punishment, and drove him out of the kitchen with a look of amnesty on his face.
Not long after, the rhythmic sound of cutting vegetables could be heard.
Looking at Seele's reflection in the kitchen glass, Minamiya Yu's exaggerated expression quickly disappeared. He stood there, his brows softened, smiling, and watching the scene quietly.
Sure enough, this is what a home is. Although it is quiet to be alone, he still likes the feeling of having such important people around him.
Picking himself up, he turned and went upstairs. The next step was to defeat Bronya and bring her back!
Bronya did work hard, but how could he lose if he cheated?
