Mess situation happen when my sister-in-law was staying
After that, the four of us sat at the dining table, and the second meeting between the Sakata family and the Watanae family has begun.
Sitting next to me, Nayu had a skeptical look on her face, while on the other hand, Yuuka puffed out her cheeks like a pufferfish. Next to Yuuka, the one who could only see as a handsome man, her [little sister]..., Watanae Isami.
“...Erm, Isami-..., chan?”
For now, I'm confused about how I should call her.
She's shorter than me, but even so, she can be classified quite tall even if she’s standing among boys. She had a slender body like a model, and her black butler uniform seemed to fit her perfectly.
Her long hair is tied behind her neck, and because she wears blue contact lenses..., she looks like a bishounen character in anime for women.
“Isami-chan, huh…, it feels quite refreshing to be called like that by someone other than my mother. But if I'm asked, then I'm more comfortable being called ‘Isami-kun’.”
“Well then...”
“Yeah. In fact, the others usually call me [Isami-sama], [Isami-kyun], or [Darling]. “
“Didn't it feel suspicious? This person…, she's dangerous.”
Hey, don't call my fiance's little sister 'this person', Nayu.
But well.., I also have a feeling that Isami-kun is a dangerous person.
"There's nothing suspicious about that. It's just, apart from doing male cosplay, I'm also the number one butler at the [Butler Cafe]… I’ve quite several enthusiastic female fans.”
"Is it okay for a middle school student to have a part-time job like that?"
"It's not a part-time job. Because I was warmly recruited by the owner, so I joined as a part of my cosplaying activities.”
“Moo~…, never mind, Yuu-kun. If you dig about it too deep, this kid will only talk about how popular she is with the girls.”
“That's a fact, so that's all I can tell to them. Yuuka, do you also want to join as a part of my harem?”
"I won't. Haaah…, I haven't seen you in a while, but you haven't changed at all, Isami.”
“As for you, it seems you’ve changed quite a bit, Yuuka?”
Smiling, Isami-kun put her elbows on the table and rested her chin on the back of her hand.
“You’ve become beautiful…, very beautiful.”
“...Huh?”
What the heck with that pick-up-like line?
“…Isami, I'm not your customer, okay? I'll get mad if you mess around too much, you know?"
“Ahaha, sorry. It's just that it's a habit of mine—you see, a lot of girls are usually fascinated by this.”
“Haah…, you really are annoying, Isami.”
Isami-kun continued her handsome demeanor, causing Yuuka to only sigh deeply.
On the other hand, while comparing the two sisters, Nayu nodded softly as if she understood something.
“Well, in essence, Isami and Yuuka-chan are quite similar.”
Damn it, she's so outspoken! It's probably fine with me, but Isami-kun is older than you, Nayu?!
“H-How do I look like Isami? I'm not a womanizer like her!”
“You're so rude to call me womanizer..., I exist because I do exist. I just accidentally made women fall in love with me. It's a natural order of things.”
“This, this! If it was me, I would absolutely not say something like that!”
“But Yuuka-chan…, as a voice actress, you voiced that character, right? Didn't the fans of the character you voiced call you something 'chan', or something 'princess'..., so aren't you guys the same?”
“Oi, Nayu!”
Hearing Nayu say a statement that I couldn't ignore, I immediately grabbed her nape.
“Not 'that character'..., but Yuuna-chan. You must call her name properly!”
“Ew, what a disgust!”
My serious rebuke was immediately cut off by Nayu with few words, and in front of us…, Yuuka looked depressed.
“I-I…, as Izumi Yuuna, similar with Isami? I indeed get letters calling me like [Princess Yuuna] or [Honey]..., b-but, I never had any desire to create a reverse harem from my fans...”
“Oh yeah, I just remembered. Since I didn't actually start working as a cosplayer until after you left home, so I haven't told you about this, Yuuka.”
Towards Yuuka who looked like she was in agony, Isami-kun took out a business card from his pocket. And then, she held out the business card to Yuuka.
“Well, this is the name I'm using now. By the way, I printed it on [badminton uncle]——”
“...Eh? What the hell is this?!”
In a loud voice, Yuuka interrupted Isami-kun's words.
“Your name as a cosplayer is [Izumi Isami]?! Why are you casually using the last name [Izumi]?!”
“About that..., it's because in my heart, I want to always be with you even when we're apart.”
“You’re a moron!”
Just when I thought her cursing sounded cute because it was childish, Yuuka stood up from her chair and then grabbed my hand.
“Where are you going, Yuuka?”
“I’m going back to my room! With Yuu-kun!”
“That part of you going to your room when you're angry hasn't changed at all, Yuuka.”
“Shut up! I told you not to treat me like a child!”
“It can’t be helped. Because by treating you like this…, I can become an adult.”
“You’re so annoying!”
For a while after that, the Watanae sisters continued to argue.
Seeing the debate they were having..., how should I put it...
I felt a little relieved knowing that Yuuka must have been like this when she was at her parents' house.
---
“Hmm...”
With my head in a daze, I crawled out of the blanket and woke my upper body.
On the alarm clock placed near the bed, I saw that it was now past 0 am.
“...I’m thirsty.”
With a small yawn, I slowly stood up.
On the bed which was a bit far from mine, in a one-piece dress, Yuuka was sleeping soundly.
I’ve kept the distance between our beds a little further so that my worldly desires wouldn't run wild, but when I saw Yuuka's face like this in the middle of the night, even though there was a distance between us, I couldn't help but feel nervous.
“Mmh..., Yuu-kun..., I love you...”
Good grief, Yuuka, can you stop saying such embarrassing things even while you're sleeping?
“Haah, for now I better drink and calm down…”
Leaving the room in a daze, I went down the stairs and headed for the kitchen as quickly as I could.
Because, today—Isami-kun is sleeping in my mother's room on the first floor.
“Sorry, but can I stay here for a few days, brother-in-law?”
While we were talking about having pizza for dinner, Isami-kun reluctantly said that.
“I've got a promise to stay at my friend's house in Tokyo from Friday, but until then…, I’ve nowhere to go. That's why, if you don't mind…”
“Then why don't you come here on Friday and then go straight to your friend's house? Why did you bother coming here on Monday?”
“You see—I want to spend as much time as possible with you, Yuuka.”
“Yuu-kun! Just get rid of this impudent sister of mine!”
“Yes, yes, alright, Yuuka… Sorry for making you feel uncomfortable.”
Just like that, it was decided that Isami-kun would stay here for a few days, but, there was a problem—whose room should she stay in?
“Well, on the second floor there are three rooms; my room, Yuuka's room, and Nayu's room. Yuuka, since you usually sleep in my room, why don't you lend your room to Isami-kun?”
“Eh…, but this kid will definitely tear up my room at will if I'm not around.”
“Although reluctant, but I admit that she is right.”
God damn it, even though it's a lie you have to deny it?!
“Then, for a few days, Yuuka will sleep with Isami-kun——”
“No! I'll die if I don't sleep with you!”
“You really are amazing, brother-in-law. I didn't expect that Yuuka like you so much like this.”
“...In that case, should I, Yuuka, and Isami-kun just sleep together?”
“Hah? Don’t kidding, it's impossible. It's cheating if you sleep with other girls besides Yuuka-chan. And also, Nii-san, what's with your stupid idea of wanting to create a harem and become like the main character in a gal game?”
With a terrifyingly fast pace, Nayu spat out poisonous words.
I don't know what she’s pissed about, but because her face was so serious, I had to throw out the idea...
“Then, what if Isami-kun sleeps with you, Nayu?”
“No.”
“I also feel bad if I’ve to use Nayu-chan's room...”
In the end——I decided to borrow the Japanese-style room that used to be my mother's room on the first floor to Isami-kun.
Good grief..., I didn't think I was thirsty in the middle of the night like this.
Even though when I met Isami-kun for the first time she appeared like a boy, but she was actually a girl—Yuuka's little sister. Therefore, I don't want to make too much noise, so let's hurry back to my room.
“Uu..., uuuu...”
Lost in my thoughts, as I went into the hallway, I heard a whimper coming from the room Isami-kun was in.
“Yuuka, uuuueeeee....”
This ..., Isami-kun's voice, right?
That voice sounded like it had a completely different impression from her confident impression during the day, but I was sure that it was Isami-kun's.
Surprised by the gap, my foot accidentally hit the wall and ended up making noise.
“——!! Who is that?!”
“Oh..., sorry, it’s Yuuichi. I was thirsty, so I just drinking…”
“...Brother-in-law?”
At the same time as hearing that soft voice, slowly, the door of the Japanese-style room that Isami-kun was in opened.
“Sorry, but..., can you come in here for a second?”
While being surprised to feel that Isami-kun's attitude was completely different from her attitude during the day, I hesitantly entered her room.
“...Hm?”
In the room, a girl was sitting while holding her knees.
She untied her black hair, which was about the same length as Yuuka's hair. Her eyes are not blue, and she wears glasses. Her appearance was similar to Yuuka, although the way she looked remained unchanged.
The chest part of the pajamas she was wearing…, how should I put it, its looked amazing.
Actually, this daytime I was thinking about this, how can she hide that size when she's cosplaying as a man?
Anyway, leaving aside her height and chest size——
As expected from siblings, she looks a lot like Yuuka.
“Fueeh..., brotheeeer-in-laaaaaw...”
“What's with that crying? Isn't your personality too different from yours this daytime?”
“That's because I'm cosplaying…, and cosplay is my way of [controlling] myself.”
I’ve a feeling your sister has said something like that too? Do the Watanae sisters have a curse to create personality differences when they are outside and inside?
“Brother-in-law, I've a favor to ask to you..., please, make me your disciple!”
“Hah?”
Suddenly, she knelt down to plead with me.
Her level of tension that was like being on a roller coaster made me think that really, she really was Yuuka's little sister.
“Erm..., Isami-kun?”
“Just call me [Isami]. Now I’ve become your disciple, brother-in-law.”
“No, can you just not decide things on your own?!”
Gosh, her pushy nature is the same as her sister’s.
“Erm... so, Isami, you usually have the personality of a girl who looks like a man, right? Then, you’re also famous as a cosplayer, and you’re the most popular butler in [Butler Cafe].”
“You’re right. Compared to the other man there, I'm much more popular.”
“Oh, you sound pretty confident… Then? What do you want from me when you’re that popular?”
“…I want Yuuka…”
“Hah?”
“—I want Yuuka, just like before, I want her to like me!”
Saying that in a loud voice, Isami once again bowed her head.
“…I also want to get along with Yuuka. She's a cute, kind person, and I've loved her since I was a kid—she's a wonderful big sister to me. It's just, for some reason, lately she gets upset when I talk to her…, and that makes me feel lonely.”
“Erm, isn't it just simple matter? I think you just need to treat Yuuka as [big sister] properly?”
After all, that was the point why Yuuka was upset with her. If she treated Yuuka as an [big sister] properly, the problem would be solved. No, in the first place that can't be called a problem, right?
“...I can’t.”
However, Isami looked at me with a mysterious look on her face and then held my hand tightly.
Her teary eyes gave me a feeling of deja vu just like Yuuka's expression…, so I really wanted her to stop it.
“…Have you heard the story about Yuuka when she was in middle school?
“Yes…, but only a little.”
Before becams a voice actress and voicing Yuuna-chan from Alice Stage, Yuuka was just like me, she had a time when she didn't want to go to school.
But other than that, I never heard anything else.
If it's Yuuka who wants to talk further about that to me, then that's another story, but if I'm the one trying to dig into it…, then I feel like it's wrong.
“When Yuuka didn't want to go to school…, I decided to become stronger. In order to prevent my gentle sister from getting hurt even more—I tried to be strong and change. And with that, I started a new way of life as a [handsome man].”
Sorry, but I don't understand how can your first line and your last line could related.
“Maybe because of this way of live…, I'm always worried about Yuuka. And before I know it, I ended up treating her like a child... I don't even know how to fix it. Though I always thought that even we were apart, my heart was always with Yuuka, but...”
“Isami...”
Somehow, Isami's clumsy attitude but caring towards her sister—made me feel like I saw Yuuka's reflection of her.
More than herself, she prioritizes the people who are important to her. Such good sides made the two of them very similar.
I seriously thought so—that's why, I grabbed Isami's hand back.
“Alright, Isami. I’ll definitely help you so that you and Yuuka can get along again.”
“Really? T-Thank you, brother-in-law! You really are a good person—now I can understand why Yuuka likes you so much!”
“N-No…, it's not a big deal——”
Click——at that moment, the room light came on, and from behind me…, I can hear the sound of heavy footsteps.
“Like you so much…? I-Isami…, what are you doing with Yuu-kun?”
“…Yu-Yuuka? Y-You misunderstood. I'm just helping to solve Isami's problem…”
“Y-You call her Isami? Why are you two so close in the middle of the night, moreover holding hands so tightly like that? Isami, explain it to me!”
“Calm down, Yuuka.”
Isami smiled calmly, with a tension that was like her handsome man mode during the day.
And then——
“I'm just trying to figure out what kind of a wonderful gentleman is that makes you love him so much...”
“...DON'T MESS WITH ME!!!”
With a volume I haven't heard from her since we started living together, Yuuka shouted angrily.
Against Yuuka like that, Isami continued to show her smile.
In her heart—I'm sure she must be sad that Yuuka was upset with her.
“Moo! Yuu-kun is mine! So don't ever try to get into trouble with me again?! You understand, Isami?!”
“Yeah, I understand…, your angry face is looking cute too, Yuuka.”
“Moo! You don't understand at all!”
...For some reason, I regretted making that promise to Isami.
It seems it would be very difficult to make these two sisters whose personalities were at odds with each other get along.
Serious-senpai: "There was seriousness there at first.... But it really is gone, hah?."
