Fujiwara Aoi took the photo and looked it over.
Seeing Natsume Chikage surrounded by a crowd of girls in the picture, she couldn't help but complain.
"Chikage—I've wanted to complain about this for a long time."
"Can't you find a way to solve this?"
Natsume Chikage shook his head. "If I could, I would have solved it a long time ago."
"It's not like you don't know I hate being surrounded by people."
Fujiwara Aoi sighed softly. "I suppose that's true."
"Big brother—you're back so late, are you hungry?" Natsume Ruri asked curiously. "If you are, I'll make you a late-night snack."
"Now that you mention it, I am a little hungry." Natsume Chikage nodded.
Kaga Reisa said softly, "Chikage-niisan, go take a bath first. Ruri and I will make you a snack."
Fujiwara Aoi raised her hand. "I'll help too!"
Soon.
After Natsume Chikage finished his bath and came out, a fragrant late-night snack was waiting for him.
Everyone sat together to eat.
Natsume Chikage watched his younger sister happily eating her snack, when he suddenly noticed something.
"Ruri, you seem to have grown a bit taller."
Upon hearing this, Natsume Ruri was overjoyed.
"Really?"
Natsume Chikage's eyes were like a ruler now; if he wanted to, he could estimate anyone's measurements.
Whether it was his sister's, or Fujiwara Aoi's, or Kaga Reisa's.
"I'm not lying. You've grown about a centimeter or so."
As for other areas—well, there wasn't really any change there.
Natsume Ruri was thrilled.
"That's great!"
"It seems that drinking milk, taking vitamins, and eating late-night snacks to supplement my nutrition every day is actually working."
Natsume Chikage urged, "That's exactly why I told you all to eat more during your growth spurt, right?"
Kaga Reisa stammered, "I don't really want to keep growing, though—"
Everyone
