It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

Do you like niche anime and games?

This is clearly even less likely to be considered an advantage!

Moreover, because she's a hot girl, she's not very popular at school. On the contrary, she met a lot of handsome guys while working part-time. That's hardly an advantage; it's good enough if it's not a disadvantage.

"By the way! I'm really good at it, okay!"

"But is being good at something an advantage?"

"Uh"

Kitagawa Kaimu was speechless.

Can being good at something be considered an advantage? It seems that in most people's eyes, it can only be considered a hobby or a special skill.

Only in the eyes of otaku who like anime and manga is this a truly attractive advantage.

"I guess you could call him an otaku, right? After all, he seemed to really enjoy that kind of thing back then," Kitagawa Kaimu thought to herself, but just as Oozora had hoped, she couldn't help but feel a little threatened.

then

"Those few cosplay outfits don't seem to be enough. Hmm, I'll find some time to make a few more as soon as possible!"

Before discovering any new strengths, Kitagawa Kaimu decided to solidify the only strength she could originally boast about.

Across from her, Oozora had been observing her changes in expression, and seeing this, he stopped attacking her.

As someone who's been through it all, she knows the importance of moderation. She hopes that Kitagawa Kaimu can develop a sense of crisis instead of becoming paranoid.

She really hoped that Kitagawa Kaimu could make the most of an outstanding guy like Iura Hide.

"If only Haimeng could assert her dominance at school, and it just so happens that Kasumigaoka Utaha would see it."

"Of course, it's okay even if you can't see it with your own eyes."

"Hai Meng is quite a celebrity at school. Once someone sees her having a boyfriend, it will definitely spread. When someone finds out about Iura-senpai's name and identity, it will have a similar effect when it reaches Kasumigaoka Utaha's ears."

"But how can we get Iura-senpai to come to our school?"

Oozora ate quietly while pondering silently. She had really gone to great lengths for her friend, Kitagawa Kaimu.

However, no matter how well planned, many things may develop and turn out completely differently from what is expected, or even go in the opposite direction.

For example

"Wangwang!"

Iura Hide, who was walking down the street with Kiko and Ai, was suddenly attracted by a dog barking not far ahead. He then saw a little boy, about seven or eight years old, with short gray hair, who was startled by a stray dog ​​passing by and fell to the ground.

The stray dog ​​was only about half a meter long, and it didn't actually attack the little boy; it just barked at him a few times.

However, the little boy, whether frightened or from the fall, lay on the ground with teary eyes, seemingly unable to get up.

"Uh, a little boy with gray hair? He looks kind of familiar."

Just as the thought popped into Iura Hide's head, he suddenly noticed a boy about four or five meters behind him. The boy was wearing a black jacket and black jeans, had a trendy hairstyle, his ears were covered in earrings, a large iron chain around his waist, and tattoos were faintly visible through his open collar. He was looking at him with his hands in his pockets.

"Huh? This design isn't—"

"Oh no! He... he recognized me!?"

After exchanging glances from a distance of more than ten meters, the two of them simultaneously widened their eyes.

That's right, this guy who looks like a trendy guy and a gangster is none other than Izumi Miyamura, the male protagonist of "Horimura and Miyamura"!

"Huh? If he's Miyamura Izumi, then this gray-haired brat might be the legendary strongest brother-in-law, right?"

"Is this the scene where Miyamura Izumi first meets the strongest brother-in-law?"

Iura Hide, who was originally planning to walk over, quickly stopped. Although his relationship with Hori Kyoko had become better than in the original story in the past few days, and they even ate lunch together every day, he had no intention of interfering in the relationship between Hori and Miyamura.

There's no way around it. Although Ishikawa Toru is his good brother, Yoshikawa Yuki is also his good brother, right?

If he helps Ishikawa Toru and disrupts the fate of Hori and Miyamura, what will Yoshikawa Yuki do?

According to their original destiny, these two were meant to be a couple.

Therefore, he felt it was best not to interfere with this "supporting one's brother" situation.

However, because of her sensitive nature, Hoshino Ai stopped walking with him, but Motoko did not.

As a kind-hearted 14-year-old junior high school girl, if she saw an elementary school student falling to the ground in fright because of a dog not far away, as long as she wasn't afraid of dogs, she would naturally go up to help, right?

So, to Iura Hide's astonishment, Motoko walked over, waved to shoo away the stray dog, and then squatted down to check on Hori Sota's injuries.

"I go!"

"This was supposed to be a destiny between the male and female leads! And it was just ruined like that!?"

"If I ask Miyamura Izumi to help me take Hori Sota home later, maybe I can rekindle this relationship?"

Many thoughts flashed through Iura Hide's mind. He shifted his gaze from Motoko and Hori Sota and looked up at Miyamura Izumi again.

To his bewilderment, Miyamura Izumi acted as if she had been caught red-handed as a thief, turning around seemingly nonchalantly but actually fleeing the scene at lightning speed.

When Iura Hide looked over, he was already more than 30 meters away at the end of the street intersection.

"Hey! Miyamura—"

Before she could finish speaking, Miyamura Izumi used a flash attack, turned right, and disappeared from the intersection, leaving Iura Hide completely dumbfounded.

Although Izumi Miyamura always hid her 'true self' at school and didn't want others to see it, wasn't she quite honest with Kyoko Hori?

"Onii-chan, he said his home is nearby, why don't we take him home first?" Kiko said, bringing Iura Hide back to his senses.

"Well, okay."

Iura Shu glanced at Hori Sota, who had already wiped away his tears, but whose hands and knees were still a little red and seemed to be slightly scraped, and could only reluctantly agree.

After all, Miyamura Izumi had already run away, so he couldn't just stand by and watch Hori Kyoko's younger brother get hurt, could he?

In order to save time, Iura Hide handed the two shopping bags he was carrying to Motoko and Hoshino Ai respectively, and then carried Hori Sota on his back.

About six or seven minutes later, a two-story detached house, covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters, appeared to be an ordinary-looking house.

Kyoko Hori, dressed in a dowdy house outfit and wearing an apron, was preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. She put down the kitchen knife in her hand, wiped her hands on the apron, and went to open the door.

then

"Ah? Iura?"

Upon seeing Iura Hide outside the door, and Hori Sota getting off Iura Hide's back, Hori Kyoko was stunned for a moment, her face showing astonishment. However, she seemed to realize something, and her expression changed instantly.

"Y-you, you, you... what are you doing here? And with Sota—"

Seeing Hori Kyoko's flustered state, as if she wanted to hide but couldn't leave and couldn't even speak clearly, Iura Hide, who had already come to terms with things on the way here, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Clearly, unlike Miyamura Izumi in the original story, he wasn't deliberately dressed up or made up, so Hori Kyoko naturally recognized him at a glance.

And when she realized that he had seen her looking so 'uncool', she panicked.

After all, this is her biggest secret!

"My sister and I were shopping at the supermarket when we ran into Sota, who had fallen down after being scared by a stray dog, so we brought him back. I never imagined Sota's older sister was Hori-san! And Hori-san, you really dress casually at home~"

Faced with Iura Hide's undisguised teasing, Hori Kyoko couldn't help but blush and glare at him with some annoyance.

What do you mean by "homey"? If you want to say I'm unfashionable, just say so!

snort!

Kyoko Hori scoffed inwardly, but couldn't help but retort, "I'm at home, of course I should dress casually!"

Then, without giving Iura Hide a chance to refute, she quickly squatted down to check on Sota's condition: "How are you, Sota?"

"I'm fine. My older brother said it's just a little scratch."

Upon hearing this, Hori Kyoko instinctively looked at Iura Hide, who smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, your brother is fine. He just bumped into something and it hurts a little. He didn't break any bones or soft tissue. You just need to clean the wound and apply some iodine to disinfect it. Of course, if you're worried, you can take him to the hospital for a checkup."

Hori Kyoko shook her head upon hearing this.

"No, I believe you."

She could tell that Hori Sota didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

Moreover, she knew that Iura Hide was practically an expert in this kind of sprains and bruises.

"Thank you for bringing Chuangtai back."

"You're welcome. I just happened to run into it. Anyone else would have done the same."

Would you like to come in and have a seat?

Hori Kyoko's eyes darted away, clearly feeling somewhat embarrassed and awkward appearing in front of Iura Hide in her current state.

"No need, my sister and I just went to the supermarket to buy groceries, and we need to hurry back to cook."

"Huh? Little sister?"

Kyoko Hori finally noticed Kiko and Ai Hoshino behind Hideki Iura, and a curious expression appeared on her face.

Even if we disregard the fact that it's Kiko, her facial features and hair color are clearly those of the former Iura Shu, making them look like siblings.

Hoshino Ai

"I am Onii-chan's younger sister, Iura Motoko."

"I am Hoshino Ai, the adopted daughter of the Iura family."

Motoko and Hoshino Ai took the initiative to introduce themselves.

Among them, Hoshino Ai deliberately pointed out her status as an adopted daughter, which unsurprisingly caused a look of surprise to flash in Hori Kyoko's eyes.

"Adopted daughter?"

"Ah."

"Ah, I'm sorry!" Realizing her rudeness, Hori Kyoko quickly bowed to Hoshino Ai to apologize, and then introduced herself.

"I am Hori Kyoko, your classmate and friend."

They were indeed very good friends; in fact, Iura Hide could be considered the boy she was closest to, besides Sengoku Sho, her childhood friend.
