A visitor who'd come to Mika's room at a time like this, there was only one.
The interphone's LCD screen reflected Murasaki-san's suit.
Tomomi howled.
"Entire crew, first level alert! Prepare anti-trustee interception!"
In a hurry, Sayuri entered the kitchen, confirmed the gas' main valve and opened the window.
"I-is this fine?!"
That's countermeasures for earthquake. A sigh leaked from my mouth.
"Rather, what on earth is that trustee interception preparation."
I opened the front door with the key, when I nodded to Murasaki-san's "excuse me" she came in.
Her taking us to Maumauland felt like it happened very long time ago.
Today she didn't wear glasses.
She stared right at me and calmly asked.
"Did you have any kind of change of mind?"
"Eh? Me... you mean?"
"Yes. I feel like the atmosphere is different."
"I've become more aware and might have turned a bit more like an older brother."
Without moving a single eyebrow, Murasaki-san curtly replied with "Is that so".
Together with Murasaki-san, everyone returned to living room.
You're too scared! My mind wouldn't calm down to an extent where I wanted to retort like that. Still, I resolved myself.
I turned around. Standing as if to protect everyone behind me, I confronted Murasaki-san.
"So, what's the business?"
Possibly, we might be being evicted from Taishido residence.
My heart pounded quickly.
Murasaki-san looked around the room and exhaled slowly.
"It seems like all little sister candidates are gathered. I scheduled to visit all individually, so it saves time."
"What's the bussiness, Murasaki-san?"
With her usual cold look, she closed her mouth.
"If Murasaki-san won't say anything, I'll say it. I... don't need anything else. That's why, give me everyone!"
Murasaki-san lowered her shoulders.
"You are unable to live your life without economic assistance. Your words stating you don't need anything, aren't realistic."
That's right. If I thought as I usually do, I would judge it impossible and stop here.
Despite being a kid I wanted to be an adult... despite being a kid, I wasn't selfish, attempted to be a good kid.
No matter how much I try, I'm still a sixteen year old kid.
The window in my heart opened.
I threw out my little pride out of the window.
What's wrong with being uncool. Being defiant and aggressive, no matter how brazen and shameless, I'll do it.
"Then give me economic assistance. And, give me everyone!"
Murasaki-san, whose cold expression was undisturbed, had opened her eyes wide.
"Are you saying you want all?"
I slowly made a big nod.
"I'm a selfish kid. In the first place, ain't it impossible. Everyone's my little sister you know? Choosing just one is strange! I don't know what kind of contract does Murasaki-san have with Jinya-san, but there's no way Jinya-san would tell me to choose just one."
Now that I have remembered, I could affirm that.
Until now I was suspicious of the person called Taishido Jinya, but now... the me of now, believed in him. If Jinya-san and I are a parent and child, we should desire the same.
"I want to live with everyone like I did until now!!"
