In the temporary males' dormitory. A very, Komatsu was sitting on the couch, stiff posture, and nervous expression.

In front of him was Erina, she had her hands crossed, and her legs the same. A calm expression on her face as she tapped with her finger on her arm.

Silent loomed over the room, nothing could be heard, other than the ticking sound of the clock.

"Ex-Excuse me, Nakiri-san..." Komatsu gathered his courage and called.

Erina's eyes shifted from the wall behind him to his eyes "...Yes?"

"S-So...How did you...know that we are, uh...like siblings?" Komatsu was sure he didn't give any hint about his origin, matter of fact, he did not interact with Erina at all, except yesterday where he ran away, yet that shouldn't give her any idea.

Erina sighed "Well...Your last name is Nakamura, You live in China where my father spends most of his time if he is not in Japan. And you have been following me for a good amount of time,"

"U-uh...That! I-I see..." Komatsu felt stupid for asking, yeah, it wouldn't be a surprise for Erina and her mother to find out who he is.

"Well...what i came here for is...I want to ask you..." Erina finally decided to reveal her motive for coming here.

"Yes. As right away!" Komatsu smiled brightly and replied.

"First of all, Where is my father?" She asked with 1 finger up to count.

Komatsu was taken back by that, but regardless he answered "He is in Japan, He escorted me from China himself, I don't know where he resides though. He is a little bit stingy about information regarding his movement."

Erina nodded "Okay. Second, Are you aware of my family situation?"

Komatsu got confused, what did she mean by the family situation? "Uh...All i know is that the Nakiri family is the founding family for Totsuki's Academy and business corporation. Counted among the wealthiest and most influential families in Japan. In other words, I know the Basic stuff." He shrugged his shoulders.

"I wasn't talking about that." Erina shook her head with a frown.

"T-then, what are you talking about?"

Erina clicked her tongue in annoyance, she really doesn't like saying those words "Are you aware of my parents'... Divorce, is it true?"

Komatsu's eyes widened as he was reminded by that, his eyes dropped down and guilt filled his heart 'That's right...If my mother and father didn't do that, She would have been surrounded by her family, unlike now...'

Unconsciously, Komatsu has some level of guilt in his heart towards Erina as he looks at her. The poor boy thinks he has a hand in hee suffering.

Noticing his particular shift of emotions in his eyes, Erina clenched her hands "Don't give me those sympathetic looks!!" With a venomous tone, Erina spoke.

"Ah! Y-Yes!" Komatsu got scared and "I am sorry!" He said while bowing.

"Answer the damned question." Erina pressed, noticing that he still did not answer her.

"Y-Yes, Father mentions it a lot. Sorry for what happened, if it wasn't fo--"

"Enough!" Erina interrupted him "Don't say anything further, I don't need excuses from you, you're not the one who needs to give them." She said while standing up. After she got her answer, there is no need to stay here any longer.

Seeing her standing, Komatsu followed from behind her with a panicked expression, "Ah! Uh, Nakiri-san!!" He extended his hand behind her as if saying to her to not leave. But he couldn't bring himself to say anything, he has no right to say anything to her 'Who am I to tell her to stay. I am not even her full-blooded brother. She probably sees me the same as her mother. A proof of her family's destruction...' He looked down in defeat.

"Nakiri-san?" Hearing him call her name, Erina stopped just a step away from the door and looked back to see him looking down. Hearing him call her by family name even though he was her half brother made Erina uncomfortable.

"Now that I remember...What is your birthday?" She asked.

Komatsu looked up, surprised. "Eh? Uh! I was born on the 10th of June."

Hearing this, Erina smiled "Then, It's Big Sister Erina from now on for you." She said before closing the door behind her.

Komatsu heard this and froze in place, the words 'Big Sister' echoed in his head like a cave. Never in a million chance he would have thought she would say this to him '...For real?'

The first thought Komatsu had before meeting Erina is that she hates him the same as her mother Mana, he expected her to say all kinds of words to him if she found out about their relationship. Yet, she said he was his 'Big Sister'?!!

For the first time in his life, Komatsu tasted the first spoon of the flavor they call 'Family'. And for a boy who was starving for such flavor, his eyes couldn't help but drop their tears.

Walking away from the dorm, accompanied by Hisako was standing outside, Erina had a serious expression on her face 'What is done is done...It seems I can't bring my parents together anymore, However, I will save the little pieces that are left from it.' she thought.

Returning to her office, Erina met her mother on her way there "Hm?" Mana noticed her daughter coming back "You have returned." She said.

"Where are you going?" Erina saw her mother dragging her mobile case behind her.

"I am leaving the country." She replied.

Erina frowned "Why? Aren't you going to stay?!"

Mana chuckled and smiled brightly "Oya?! Will my daughter miss me if i leave? Haha!"

Erina's ears turned red "H-Huh? I-I never said so! You must be mistaken!"

"How Tsundere!" Mana tapped her fan on Erina's head "Anyways, I am leaving for China, I am gonna go and see my sweet son in law, I have not eaten his food for a week now, Can't handle the needles anymore, they are starting to hurt me now." Mana said, showing her arm where a big red spot is.

"And that is that. I will see you another time then." Mana said before passing by Erina.

Erina was somehow glad, Now that she thinks about it 'This may be the longest we have talked... without throwing insults at each other.'

"Wait!" Erina called for her mother.

Mana turned back and raised her eyebrow asking for Erina to speak.

"I am coming with you."
