Chapter 11: Changes in the Three Sisters

“As a teacher and her sister, I should have been the one to go…… I’m sorry ……”

　In the living room of the Rurikawa residence, Sakurako-sensei bows her head to me.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. You were tired from the training, right?”

“Yeah…….”

“Senpai is kind!　But the feeling that you’re targeting Sakurako-chan is really creepy!　Please really stop it, okay?”

“You….”

“I have to admit, I thought it was pretty cool how the shady, creepy older guy was taking down all the delinquents!　But I can’t see him as a man! He’s in the same category as the old man who killed the bear!　I’m really sorry!”

Shino bowed repeatedly.

　Yeah, it kind of makes sense now.

　They say that a man who is only kind is just like an old man and cannot be seen as a man.

　But you don’t have to say that, do you?

“All right, all right. I need to talk to the teacher, so please keep quiet for now, third daughter.”

　Shino puts a finger to her lips and nods her head.

“Hmm, can you call me Shino after all?　Isn’t it kind of weird to be a third daughter?”

“Jeez, you should have done that from the beginning.…… Are you sure you want me to call you by your name?　Shino?”

“Ehehe, yes!”

　Shino smirked.

　It’s quite destructive because of the difference from what she usually does.

　I tried to distract myself by talking to Sakurako-sensei.

“It’s late and Himari is in no condition to attend class, so I’m going home.”

　Back at the Rurikawa residence, Himari immediately called Shogo Kito.

　However, Kito did not answer the phone at all.

　She stayed in her room and cried like a baby.

“So……here’s your part-time pay.”

　The teacher handed me 5,000 yen.

“No, I can’t take it. I’ve done almost nothing today.”

　Well, actually, I have done nothing almost every time.

“That’s not true. You saved my sisters. Take it.”

“That’s right, senpai!　–or rather, Sakurako-chan!　Isn’t 5,000 yen too low a price to pay for saving our lives?”

“Hmm…..you’re right…..”

　Sakurako-sensei took something out of her drawer and filled it in quickly with a pen.

“Well, here…….”

　She put a check on the table with one million written on it.

S-seriously……!

“Yes, yes!　That’s about right!　It’s 950,000 yen for me and 50,000 yen for Himari-chan!”

“No, no, no, a million!　That’s crazy!”

“It’s fine. Please feel free to take it.”

{1 ( Take the check of one million yen.)}

{2 [I don’t want your money. I want you in my arms.] (Take Sakurako in your arms and lead to her bed.) }

　Isn’t this curse just trying to make me a sex offender?

　But even if it is an option, a million yen is indeed too much.

“I’m sorry, but I really can’t accept this amount.……”

　A disaster will befall me, but I’m refusing to take advantage of it. It’s not a big deal. It should only be a flat tire on my bike.

“Oh…… okay. If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to tell me. If you lose your house or something, you can stay here.”

“Haha, well, I’ll let you know.”

　I bowed my head to Sakurako-sensei and stood up.

“W-Why don’t you take it Senpai!　This makes us look like we are cheap!”

{1 [“It is a natural duty of a man to protect women. I don’t need to be paid.”]}

{2 [“Then you’ll have to pay it with your body.”] (Embrace Himari and Shino)

　What a great choice here…..

“Instead of “trying to embrace”, it’s “embrace”. It’s impossible no matter how I try.

“It is a natural duty of a man to protect women. I don’t need to be paid”

“Haha …… haha ……?　…… Eh?　Senior, are you serious ……?”

{1 [“Do I look like I’m kidding?”] (Wallslam on Shino.) [TL: kabe don]

{2 [“I’m serious. Pyong-pyong!”] (Talk like a rabbit with a ridiculous stupid wig)

Uwa….

　Do I have to go full-on narcissistic or do I have to do a damn joke?

　Which would be less damaging?　–Okay, this one.

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

　Donk. I wall slammed Shino.

“Ah….I’m sorry……I didn’t mean to…….”

　Shino’s cheeks flushed red and she began to fiddle with her bangs.

“I hope you understand.”

　I pulled my hand away from the wall.

　No, you don’t have to understand me at all, but I kind of said it in a flirty way.

“Senpai, this kind of thing …… could be a bit…….”

　Shino trotted off to her room.

“Yagami-kun ……!”

　I looked at Sakurako-sensei and she was staring at me with her cheeks puffed out.

“What’s the matter, Sensei?”

“Are you making fun of Shino now?”

　–Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.

{1 [“Don’t be jealous! Well, that’s what’s so cute about you.] }

{2 [“No, I’m serious. I’m thinking of taking Shino as my wife.”] }

　Why do I have to say and do all these outrageous things!

　Give me something milder, please!　Seriously!

“Don’t be jealous!　Well, that’s what’s so cute about you.”

　I pat the teacher on the head. I’m sure she’ll be pissed. –I’m ready to get down on my knees!

“Mu!　I’m not jealous!　Don’t make fun of me!”

{1 [“I’m not making fun of you…….”] (Hug Sakurako gently) }

{2 [“I’m not making fun of you!”] (Wallslam Sakurako) }

Gee…..both of those options are going to make Sakurako-sensei even angrier.

　Now what do I do ……?

　The first option looks like a gentleman, but the body touching makes it more creepy.

　I think I’ll go with 2, wallslam. I’ve just done this to Shino.

“Eh ……wh-what…..?”

　I silently corner the teacher against the wall.

“I’m not making fun of you!”

“Kya~”

　Boom!　I did my second wall slam of the day.

　What kind of idiot would ever wallslam two women in the space of ten minutes?

“Hey, Yagami-kun…… you’re scaring me a little…….”

“Excuse me, Sensei!”

　I got down on my knees at a very high speed, which I had prepared for.

“It’s okay……. Stand up.”

“Thank you, Sensei”

　I was forgiven. That’s my teacher. She is kind.

　I stood up quickly.

“There are women out there who get nervous when younger boys get on their nerves, so don’t do that.”

“Eh?　Are you one of them, Sensei?”

“No, I’m not!”

　The teacher puffed up her cheeks. –Cute.

“Well, I’m leaving now.”

“Un, See you later.”

　I took only the 5,000 yen for my part-time job and went out the door.

“Ah!　Yagami-kun!”

　I heard Himari’s voice. I turned around.

　Himari looked embarrassed and fidgeted in some way.

“U……uhm……thank you for today……you can tomorrow teach me how to study…… okay?”

“Y-yeah……”

　I walked out in a daze.

　That bitch Rurikawa Himari not only thanked me for my help, but also asked me to teach her my studies.……?　That’s like a meteorite falling.

　It was such a shocking turn of events that I couldn’t hide my dismay as I headed home.

　I was even more shocked by what was waiting for me there.

　I stood in front of the place where my house used to be and called out to my father, mother and sister, Tsumugi.

“What the hell happened……?”

“A meteorite……hit our home, brother.”

　There was a crater where my house used to be.

　My beloved home has been blown away without a trace, and somehow only the housing of the [Black Iron Samurai] is still intact.

　I took out my phone and called Sakurako-sensei.

“Excuse me, sensei…… my house was blown up by a meteorite, can I stay with you for a while…..?”
