My Sister Is Bronya

"Alright, we can play games later. Let's tidy up the room first." Ishiu clapped his hands.

"Okay~~"

Kiana was still very obedient when it came to Ishiu's words. Maybe it was also a habit formed from their previous life living together—she did not need to think about anything. As long as she listened to Ishiu in all things, she could live comfortably and laze around. Who would not want that kind of life?

So, the three of them began tidying up the room.

There was not really much to tidy up, though. When Raiden Mei had arrived two days ago, she had already given the place a thorough cleaning, so it was still quite neat. They only needed to rearrange the furnishings the way Bronya wanted and unpack her luggage.

Ishiu opened Bronya's suitcase. She had brought quite a lot this time. Aside from clothes, there were HOMU dolls—five or six of them in total, all seemingly from the same series.

Honestly, Ishiu really did not understand what was cute about those things. Yet Bronya loved them to death, and not just her—the other children at the Orphanage liked them too. Ishiu could not help sighing that this was probably the generation gap between adults and children.

It was like how he used to hug the TV and watch Pleasant Goat every day when he was little. Once he grew up, only the Pleasant Goat doujins were worth looking at.

After taking out all the dolls, all that remained were Bronya's clothes.

Ishiu rummaged through them and found Bronya's underwear at the very bottom. Even her panties had HOMU logos printed on them. Just how much did she like that thing...?

What surprised Ishiu, though, was that she had even brought bras. He had always assumed Bronya wore children's underwear. He had not expected that she could wear those already.

"Ishiu! Stop rifling through Bronya's clothes!"

Ishiu had been looking with great interest when Bronya delivered a heavy blow to the back of his head. Then she scooped up the pile of clothes in front of him.

"Bronya, that thing of yours... didn't you buy it too big?" Ishiu asked hesitantly.

Judging by his visual estimate, Bronya's current size did not seem to match the bras she had bought. Would wearing them like that even be comfortable?

"Bronya did not buy them too big! Bronya is this big to begin with!" Ishiu's words were like poking a hornet's nest. Bronya immediately glared at him with murderous intent in her eyes. Her little face flushed as she tried her best to puff out her chest, wanting to prove something.

Unfortunately, she had acquired her own airport runway at a young age. No matter how much she stuck out her chest, it would not get any bigger. There was only the faintest rise, so slight that one might not notice it without looking carefully.

Ah...

Ishiu's mouth twitched. He knew he had hit Bronya's sore spot, so he did not continue the topic, lest the little girl become even more embarrassed.

Kiana, however, casually threw an arm around Bronya's shoulders, pressing her own towering softness against Bronya's arm as she said with a grin, "Don't worry, Bronya. You might grow bigger in the future~ It may be hard to reach my standards, but getting to an A+ should not be a problem."

"Kiana!" Bronya bit her lip, trying her best to restrain the urge to crush that damned lump of excess flesh. She took a deep breath, forcibly broke free from Kiana's hold, then carried her clothes to the wardrobe.

So what if they were big? What was there to be proud of? She really did not know what was so great about those two lumps of excess flesh. Not only did they get in the way of movement, they looked heavy too. Only vulgar, stinking men would like them... Ishiu... he would not be that shallow, right?

Watching Bronya storm off in anger and Kiana laugh until she bent over, Ishiu shook his head. He did not dare laugh. If he actually did, he feared Heavy-duty Bunny's thick, massive cannon barrel would be pressed to his forehead the next second.

After bustling around in Bronya's room for a while, the three of them quickly finished organizing it.

"Phew, it's finally done. This has exhausted me, seriously." Kiana wiped away nonexistent sweat from her forehead, then went limp and flopped onto the soft little bed, stretching comfortably.

"Idiot Kiana, you have the nerve to say you're tired? You were obviously slacking off just now." Bronya looked at Kiana with disgust. She and Ishiu had handled most of the tidying, while Kiana had been the textbook example of an onlooker who contributed nothing. "Get off Bronya's bed already."

"Don't rush me. Let me lie here a little longer." Kiana ignored Bronya's urging entirely. Like an oversized couch potato, she rolled back and forth across the bed.

Bronya was about to blow up when Raiden Mei's voice came from outside the door. "Kiana, Bronya, Ishiu, have you finished tidying your rooms? Come out and eat first."

"Okay! Mei, I'm coming!" The moment she heard food was ready, Kiana—who had seemed like a boneless couch potato just moments ago—instantly sprang up from the bed and ran out eagerly, leaving Bronya speechless.

"Is... is she always like that?" Bronya asked.

"Yeah. You'll get used to it." Ishiu nodded.

"I'm suddenly regretting moving in here..." Bronya sighed. Thinking about how she would have to live with this paramecium from now on, she would rather live with Ishiu. As long as she did not get pregnant, it would be fine, right?

"Well, if you spend enough time with her, you'll find that aside from not liking to wash her feet, grinding her teeth in her sleep, being lazy and greedy, and being clingy... she's actually pretty nice." Ishiu spoke with a straight face, but halfway through, he could not help laughing.

To be fair, Kiana had a lot of flaws, but her strengths were enough to make up for them. More importantly, she was like a little sun, constantly radiating warmth. As long as she was around, no matter when it was, you would never be unhappy.

"You sure know a lot about her." Bronya narrowed her eyes, her tone strange.

"Of course. I was basically her dad for a month. How could I not know her?" Ishiu rolled his eyes and replied irritably.

Some people might have thought that living with a beautiful girl for a month meant he had enjoyed plenty of perks, but unfortunately, real life was not a Japanese anime light novel. Where would all those perks come from? The fact that Kiana had not driven him to death counted as him having a long life.

"Uh..." Bronya was left speechless.

"Alright, let's go out too," Ishiu said.

"Mm."

The two of them then left the room as well. In the living room, Raiden Mei brought the finished dishes to the table. The rich aroma of food immediately filled the entire room, even drawing Himeko—who had been lazily sprawled on the sofa without wanting to move—to sit at the table.

"Haha, Mei, I love you to death! You made so much delicious food, and there are big chicken drumsticks too!" Looking at the feast on the table, Kiana was practically drooling. She immediately reached out with her chopsticks, eager to grab a big drumstick.

"Kiana, those are for Ishiu. You can eat this instead." Raiden Mei slapped Kiana's chopsticks away and pointed at the fish in another dish.

"Huh? Why?" Kiana's face instantly filled with grievance. The fish was delicious too, but compared to big chicken drumsticks, the latter were obviously far more tempting.

"Did you forget? Today's meal is a welcome party for Ishiu. The drumsticks and hamburger steaks are his favorites. If you eat them, what kind of welcome party would this be?" Raiden Mei explained.

What a joke. She had started preparing the moment she received Ishiu's text, and for today's meal, she had staked the honor of a housewife on it and given two hundred percent of her ability. She was hoping Ishiu would have a good meal—how could she let Kiana ruin it?

"Mm..." Kiana pouted. She might have been carefree, but she was not a willful child. Since Raiden Mei had put it that way, she could only stare at the drumsticks and swallow her saliva.

"Mei, it's fine. Let Kiana have some. There are so many drumsticks anyway—I can't finish them all by myself." Ishiu said as he came out of the bathroom after washing his hands, having happened to hear the exchange.

"Yay! I knew Ishiu was the best~" Kiana cheered. Her gloomy mood instantly vanished as she quickly reached out with her chopsticks and placed a golden, crispy fried drumstick into her bowl.

"Ishiu, you spoil her too much." Raiden Mei gave Ishiu a slightly resentful look. Her tone was exactly like that of an empty-nest elder being shut out by her son and daughter-in-law.

"Was I? I don't think so." Ishiu shook his head, pulled out a chair, and sat beside Mei. He truly didn't think he was spoiling Kiana. He was just letting her have a chicken drumstick—how did that count as spoiling her?

"Ah..." Raiden Mei shook her head and sighed again. She did not continue the subject, instead picking up a chicken drumstick and placing it in Ishiu's bowl. "Ishiu, hurry and eat it while it's hot. There's more if it isn't enough."

"Mm, thanks, Mei." Ishiu nodded and lowered his head to eat.

Raiden Mei's cooking was as amazing as ever. The golden drumstick had been fried crisp on the outside and tender within. One bite brought the crunchy texture of the breadcrumbs around the juicy chicken, complemented by just the right amount of spice. It could only be described as perfect.

Ishiu ate with immense satisfaction. He quickly gnawed the large drumstick down to nothing but bone, not leaving behind even a scrap of meat.

Meanwhile, Kiana did not even spare the bone. She tossed it straight into her mouth, crunched it to pieces, and swallowed it.

As expected of Kiana—she effortlessly did what none of them could.

"Ishiu, try this too." Raiden Mei placed another piece of hamburger steak into Ishiu's bowl. She barely ate anything herself, only watching Ishiu with a beaming smile, as if seeing him eat was enough to satisfy her.

"Mei, you should eat too. Don't keep putting food in my bowl—I can serve myself," Ishiu said as he ate.

"Mm, okay." Raiden Mei agreed with her words, but her hands continued placing food into Ishiu's bowl.

"Ishiu, try this too." Bronya could no longer sit still. Watching Raiden Mei's full-on offensive from the side, she could only look on because Kiana sat between herself and Ishiu. On top of that, her arms were short, so she could not serve Ishiu food as easily as Raiden Mei could.

But who was Bronya? She was a genius. Very quickly, she got her little brain working and came up with a brilliant solution.

So, she had Heavy-duty Bunny pick up a piece of fish and deliver it to Ishiu's mouth.

When Ishiu saw two chopsticks stuck into Heavy-duty Bunny's massive cannon barrel, holding a piece of fish between them, every fiber of his being refused.

But in the end, he still ate the fish, because it was simply too big! (Referring to the cannon barrel.)

After dinner, the sky had begun to darken. Himeko picked at her teeth with a toothpick, then stood and said to Ishiu, "Come on. I'll show you where you'll be staying."

"Mm, I'll trouble you then, Sister Himeko." Ishiu nodded sweetly.

"Mm, what a good boy~" Himeko chuckled and rubbed his head. Cute, well-behaved boys were simply the best. He was infinitely better than a certain idiot who always called her Auntie Himeko. If it were not inconvenient, she would have wanted Ishiu to stay with her.

"I'm coming too!" Like a husky, Kiana rushed toward any place that seemed lively.

"Where do you think you're going? Stay at home obediently. If you dare follow us, I'll break your legs."

"Ugh... What's with that? Fine, I won't come. Why are you being so mean...?" Kiana was intimidated at once and immediately behaved herself, though she unhappily kicked at the ground. She had wanted to play with Ishiu a little longer.

"Kiana, don't be unhappy. We'll see each other tomorrow." Seeing her aggrieved little expression, Ishiu could not help laughing. He patted her head and spoke gently.

Kiana had been feeling a little down, but when she saw Ishiu's smiling face, her small bout of unhappiness somehow vanished at once.

She grinned, skipped over to Ishiu, and gave him a tight hug. Then she said energetically, "Brat, see you tomorrow. Make sure you sleep well tonight."

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you?" Ishiu did not know whether to laugh or cry. He then said goodbye to Raiden Mei and Bronya before following Himeko out the door.

When they had entered the academy during the day, Himeko had already explained some of St. Freya Academy's facilities and buildings to Ishiu. The buildings to the east were the girls' dormitories, those to the west were teaching buildings and the athletic field, while the cafeteria was to the north.

The direction Himeko was leading him now was south.

"Oh, right. Let me remind you of something. You're free to date at the academy, but mind your limits. Never two-time anyone. If you're thinking of building a harem, the consequences will definitely be miserable. Don't forget, the girls at our academy are all Valkyries."

"Uh... Don't worry. I'm not interested in romance right now." Ishiu was speechless. He had initially thought Himeko was rather reliable here—at least more reliable than Theresa—but now it seemed she was perhaps... a little too uninhibited?

"Hehe, I used to think the same way."

"And then?"

"And then I stayed single until now."

"Uh..."

"So, little brother, if there's someone you like, don't let her get away. Go after her directly. Otherwise, if you miss your chance, you might end up becoming a great mage someday~"

"What if I like you, Sister Himeko?" Having grown irritated at Himeko calling him "little brother" over and over, Ishiu refused to be outdone and simply flirted back. Wasn't it just a contest of who had thicker skin? He had never been afraid of anyone in that regard.

"You like me? Are you serious?" Murata Himeko stopped walking and turned to look at Ishiu. Beneath her vivid red hair, a pair of amber eyes reflected his face.

She raised a hand and gently lifted Ishiu's chin. Then she leaned closer and lightly breathed out a fragrant gust tinged with alcohol. The allure unique to a mature beauty instantly made this little virgin blush furiously.

"S-Sorry..." Ishiu had never faced anything like this before. He had always been all talk, but now he was like a counterfeit running into the real deal.

"Hmph~ A little brother whose hair hasn't even grown in properly, daring to joke with his big sister like that. You're only lucky because you're still too young. If you were another two or three years older, believe it or not, I'd drag you straight to the registry office to get married?" Himeko released Ishiu and smiled teasingly at him.

"Ahem... Sister Himeko is right." Ishiu rubbed his face, somewhat depressed.

Sigh, he still lacked experience. He had always dealt with little lolis and girls, never expecting a true mature beauty to be so difficult to handle.

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. Come on, let's take a look at your new home."

"Mm."

Following Himeko, Ishiu arrived at the buildings in the south. Because there were so few men at the academy, there was no need to establish a dedicated dormitory. Male staff were directly assigned individual houses, yet even so, more than half the houses here still stood empty.

"This house will be your residence from now on. It has all the daily necessities inside, so stay here for now. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask. We'll do our utmost to meet your requests." Himeko stood before a two-story Western-style house and introduced it to Ishiu.

"I understand. Thank you, Sister Himeko."

"Oh, right. Teacher Yang, who teaches history, lives next door. If there's anything you don't understand, you can go ask him. He has a pretty good personality."

"Okay."

"OK, I've told you everything I needed to. Oh, and my number is xxxxxxxxx. You can call me if anything comes up. Alright, that's it—I should head back too."

"Himeko, take care."

After bidding Himeko farewell, Ishiu took the key and opened the door that would belong to him from now on.

It seemed St. Freya Academy's benefits were pretty good. They gave him a house as soon as he arrived—would they be giving him a wife next?

Ishiu took a thorough look around the house, checking every room. It really was quite nice, with facilities comparable to a high-end apartment. There were no listening devices or anything like that, either. It seemed Theresa trusted him quite a bit.

After inspecting the house, Ishiu simply took a shower. He had not brought as much luggage as Bronya, only a few changes of clothes, so it was much easier to sort through.

By the time he finished showering, it was already completely dark. Sitting on the living room sofa, Ishiu unexpectedly found himself feeling a little bored.

It was the first time he had ever felt that nighttime was boring.

Back then, Seele and Kiana had kept him company, and he had people to talk to. But now he was alone in the house. Watching TV was pointless, and playing games alone was even less fun.

After thinking it over, he decided to go see Seele.

In any case, Coordinate Movement could be used once a day. Wouldn't it be a waste not to use it?

Besides, he had promised that girl he would visit her every day. As her older brother, he could not break his word.

So Ishiu left his final coordinate mark in the room, then sensed Seele's coordinate and used Coordinate Movement.

The next instant, Ishiu's vision blurred. When he could see clearly again, he was startled to discover that he had arrived in Seele's room—and right in front of him, Seele was taking off her clothes.

She seemed to be changing into her pajamas. Most of her clothes had already been removed, exposing large swaths of snow-white skin.

It was not the first time Ishiu had seen Seele's body. Leaving aside when they had been children, the last time had been a few months ago, and the girl's fair skin had left a deep impression on him then.

This time, Seele had taken off even more. She still had a skirt on her lower body, but only a camisole remained on her upper body. Since she had her back to Ishiu, she had no idea he had arrived and was still undoing the clasp of her bra.

After his initial daze, Ishiu came to his senses. Damn it—if he let her keep taking things off, this book would be heading straight for 18X territory.

"Se-Seele..."
