Living in Tokyo, starting with a lifestyle-related job

I don't care.

I should focus on my studies more than these things.

Yes, that's the right way.

Okay, that's good.

That's all you need to figure out. Time to sleep.

Maki Mizuno closed her eyes tightly, trying to fall asleep.

But after fretting for what seemed like an eternity, she finally fell asleep.

Kamidai Bai Feng returned home.

"I am back."

"Welcome back."

Erina Kamishiro, who was studying in the living room, peeked her little head out and looked at him.

After putting the groceries back in the refrigerator, Shiro Kaede asked curiously:

"Where's my aunt? Isn't she here?"

Erina Kamishiro shook her head and said:

"It seems my aunt has to work overtime. I heard her say on the phone that she won't be back until almost midnight."

"So late today?"

"It seems that the game she voices is going to have its voice acting changed recently, so she has to work overtime urgently."

"I see. I just hope she doesn't overwork herself."

"Why are you studying in the living room? Wouldn't it be better to go back to your room?" asked Shiro Shiro.

Erina's face flushed slightly, her eyes sparkled, and her two little white sock-clad feet tucked together, concealing her true purpose as she muttered shyly:

"A change of environment. A change of environment to study!"

"I heard from my teacher that changing the environment can improve concentration and so on."

Seeing Erina studying so diligently, Shiro Shiro didn't think much of it and smiled knowingly:

"Oh, okay? Would you like some late-night snacks now?"

Erina's eyes lit up, and she smiled:

"miss you!"

"What to eat?"

I want to eat ramen!

Bai Feng rubbed her head:

"Okay, just wait for me."

As he spoke, he went to the kitchen to prepare a late-night snack for two.

No matter what, he's had a busy day.

I was also a little hungry.

Erina Kamishiro sat on the sofa, craning her neck to watch Bai Feng intently working in the kitchen, completely absorbed in the moment.

She suddenly spoke:

Do you need my help?

Bai Feng's voice came from the kitchen.

"No need, you should focus on your studies."

"I've been studying for most of the day, can't I at least do something else and take a break?"

"Okay, then you can wash the dishes later."

Erina paused for a moment, then squinted and pouted, looking very unhappy.

soon.

After making the ramen, Bai Feng placed it on the dining table.

"Erina, come and eat."

Erina closed the book in her hand, stood up, walked to the dining table, and sat down opposite Bai Feng.

She happily picked up the ramen and started showing off.

While eating.

Erina suddenly asked curiously:

"Bai Feng, I heard from the teacher that we all have to join clubs. Which club did you join?"

Kamidai Bai Feng said:

"What about you, Literature Club?"

Erina Kamishiro remained silent for a moment, silently making the Literature Club a name for herself, and then replied:

"I haven't added it yet."

"Oh? So, what clubs do you like to join?"

"No."

"Take your time looking. Anyway, even if you don't join a club this month, the teacher won't rush you."

"Oh, what if I still can't find a club I like?" Erina Kamishiro asked, glancing furtively at Shirafumi as she ate her ramen.

Shiro Shiro casually offered a suggestion: "Why don't you just find a Homecoming Club and become a Ghost Club member?"

Seeing that the conversation had come to this point, Erina took the initiative to ask.

"Now that you've joined the club, don't you have to work after school? Doesn't your club president say anything to you?"

"I won't say anything. Anyway, when I joined the Literature Club, I said that I was probably a ghost member, and she agreed and didn't say anything."

"Oh, is that so? Then if I can't find someone I like, I might as well join your literature club." Erina looked at him cautiously, curious about his reaction.

However, Bai Feng remained indifferent, shrugging and saying:

"up to you."

Erina asked worriedly, "But if I join your club, won't people guess who we are?"

"If you're afraid, then don't add it. And let me tell you in advance, today Ms. Matsue told Watanabe, a senior in my department, that she already knows we're siblings."

"Huh?!" Erina Kamishiro's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "It's only been a few days, and our relationship has already spread so quickly?"

"Is it really necessary to be so surprised?" Kamishiro Hakufeng retorted. "It's just a sibling thing, there are plenty of cases like that at school."

"That's different, and why would Matsueda-sensei tell everyone about us?" Erina Kamishiro pouted, somewhat angry.

Shiro Shiro explained, "Matsueda-sensei thought everyone knew about our relationship and just blurted it out casually. After all, you didn't tell her to keep it a secret for you."

“That’s true.” Erina Kamishiro thought so too, but she was still a little annoyed, worried that the matter would get out. She muttered, “Did you tell that upperclassman not to tell anyone?”

"I already said it, but I think it was bound to be exposed sooner or later." Bai Feng said nonchalantly.

Erina pouted and said angrily, "Even if that's the case, we can talk about it later. I don't want anyone else to know about this right now."

"Why?"

Erina blushed slightly, her eyes flickering. She quickly came up with an excuse, saying with a mixture of shame and indignation:

"Look, if other people find out about our relationship, won't a lot of guys come asking for my contact information? I hate that!"

“That makes sense.” Shiro Shiro knew that Erina was very beautiful, and this was very likely to happen.

Let's not even talk about Erina.

Anyone who has a pretty younger sister or older sister has probably experienced this kind of thing.

It means that acquaintances, friends, or classmates will ask for my sister's contact information.

This is really annoying.

Don't even mention that Erina would be a little unhappy if she thought of this scene.

Even he himself was annoyed when he thought about other boys coming up to him and asking for Erina's contact information.

"Hearing you say that makes me a little unhappy too. Fine, I'll help you cover it up properly from now on," said Shinobu Shiro bluntly.

Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, Erina's ears turned slightly red, and she blinked her beautiful eyes, feeling inexplicably very happy.

She nodded happily: "Mmm!"

She never expected that Bai Feng would be unhappy because someone asked her for her LINE.

So he actually cares about himself this much.

After eating and drinking enough.

Bai Feng also said to Erina, "Then remember to wash the dishes. I'm going to take a shower first."

"Okay." Erina happily agreed.

soon.

After Bai Feng finished showering and came out of his room...

Erina was still studying in the living room.

But the way she rubbed her eyes and yawned told Bai Feng that she should go to sleep.

"It's late, go back to sleep."

“But Auntie hasn’t come back yet,” Erina said with some worry.

Shiro Kaede rubbed her head: "It's okay, your aunt is an adult. It's not like it's the first time you've seen her working overtime."

Erina muttered, "But if Auntie comes back and sees no one in the living room, I wonder if she'll be sad."
