Episode 109: The Last Night

"It was fun, was it not?"

"Yes."

"Hmm."

We were rocked by the train just like when we headed to ESJ. Nanami sat on a seat with a warm smile on her face, dangling her legs. Shia and I were looking at my Imouto with a smile.

"Nn ... Nn Nn ..."

Nanami was in high spirits for a while, but after about ten minutes, she began to fall asleep.

"I'm sorry I got you involved this time."

"Hmm. No worries."

I was sitting across from Nanami, and when I called out to Shia, who was still attracting the attention of the surroundings, she tilted her face slightly, turned her sleepy eyes towards me, and shook her head.

"No, it was quite difficult, wasn't it?"

"Happy to fight."

"I see."

Shia lets out a rough nasal sound and clenches her fist. Her expressionlessness also creates a mysterious atmosphere, and I could only nod in confusion.

I think it's important for Shia to raise her level.

"Hmm!! I slept well!!"

We arrived at the nearest station to the village. Nanami, who had fallen asleep until we got to the station, straightened up and said cheerfully.

"You played a lot today, so you must be tired."

"Maybe. I've been playing all day since morning. But, thanks to you, I'm completely satisfied?"

Nanami looks up at me as if to say that my words were good."

"I hope you enjoyed it."

"Ehehe ~ Thank you for today. Onii-chan."

"You're welcome."

I smile back at Nanami, who smiles at me, and laugh in amazement.

"By the way, let's go home quickly, Mom will get angry again."

"Roger that."

"Hmm."

After the two of them nod at my suggestion, I put Nanami on Luck and hurry back home.

""I'm home ~ .""

"Welcome back. You're not hurt anywhere, are you?"

When we enter the house, my Mom runs up to us and begins to check our bodies in a flustered manner.

"I didn't get hurt!!"

"There's nothing to worry about with me."

When Nanami and I told her to reassure her, she let out a sigh and showed a relieved expression.

I told her that we were safe on the phone, but it seems that there was a lot of news about the Stampede in the dungeons near ESJ, so I think she was upset.

While she was frustrated like that, I thought I did something wrong since we were the only ones playing happily.

I wish I could do something to make up for it.

"I'm glad Shia-chan is safe too."

"Hmm."

Mom smiled at Shia, and Shia nodded. Her ahoge somehow is bouncing happily.

"Well then, let's eat. You played too much and didn't eat anything, didn't you?"

"Ah! Come to think of it, I haven't eaten!!"

As soon as my Mom muttered her predictions with an exasperated face, Nanami made a surprised face and shouted.

-Kuuuuuuuu

And right after that, Nanami's stomach growled as if her body understood her hunger.

"Ehehe ~ , I'm hungry."

"I'm hungry too."

"Hmm."

Shia and I looked at each other and nodded at Nanami's bashful smile.

"Well then, wash your hands quickly. I prepared a lot of food today, so you're going to eat a lot, right?"

""Yes.""

We quickly washed our hands and gathered in the living room.

A lot of dishes are lined up on the table, and you can tell that they are all freshly made from the steam. Nanami was in contact with her on LINNE at various times, so I think she heated them up around the time we got home.

There are only our favorite foods lined up there.

"Wow ~ !! ALl my favorite dishes today!!"

"Really!!"

Me and Nanami's eyes lit up at the dishes in front of us.

I'm hungry.

"Tomorrow, Fuhito will go to school again."

"Oh ~ , that reminds me. I'm getting lonely again ..."

Nanami's expression clouded at Mom's words.

Although it can't be helped, I don't really want to see Nanami's sad face.

"Hahaha. I'll talk to you on LINNE again, so please be patient."

"Kaay."

Nanami answers sadly.

"Come on, first of all, eat. Shia-chan can't stand it either."

"..."

Mom urged us with a particularly high-pitched voice to break the sorrowful atmosphere of the place and we turned our gaze towards Shia.

When we turned our faces to Shia, she was staring at the food and not moving. Her ahoge is shaped like a circle with a triangular missing part, and the missing part is moving like a carp's mouth that swarms for food.(TN:Hello Pacman ahoge. Her ahoge is always amusing, but this one is particularly funny.)

I think this is proof that she can't help but want to eat food.

"Yes. Let's eat quickly."

""Itadakimasu!!""

We gave our post-meal greeting and started eating.

After finishing the meal, I handed the souvenirs to my mother, and after taking out Nanami's luggage, I took a bath and returned to my room.

-Ton Ton

A knocking sound is heard.

"Yes?"

"Onii-chan, I ..."

It was Nanami who came to my room. I quickly open the sliding door, and Nanami is standing with her head down while fidgeting.

"Nanami? What happened?"

"Can I sleep with you?"

When I ask Nanami what's wrong, she asks with a sad expression on her face.

Apparently, Nanami, who got lonely, wants to sleep with me on the last night before I go back to the school dormitory. With that kind of face, there's no way I can refuse.

"Of course you can."

"Hooray!!"

"Look, look, it's already late at night, so you have to be quiet, okay?"

"Okay."

When I give her permission, Nanami jumps up and down in high spirits. However, it's already quite late, so I have her quiet down and invite her into the room.

"Ehehe ~ ."

"Even though you're a Junior High School student, you're still so spoiled."

Nanami and I are in the futon. Nanami hugs me as if clinging to me, and her face relaxes with a happy grin.

"I think the next time we can meet is summer vacation."

"Haa ... it's long ..."

"Well, as I said earlier, I'll call you on LINNE from time to time, so please bear with it."

"Yeah ... promise?"

"Yeah."

We talk about trivial things for a while, and before I know it, I fall asleep.
