Chapter 51 - Is This the Real You? - 02
“Brother!”
“Senior Kenya!”
“Welcome back!”
“I’m home.”
Two girls greeted us at home.
“Are your wounds healed?”
“They’re all better now, though the scar remains…”
Kenya lifted his shirt.
“Oh~ Six-pack…”
Misuzu traced the scar on his abs with a sultry voice.
“It’s actually kind of cool! It feels like a warrior’s scar! And it’s not on your back, so it’s nothing to be ashamed of!”
Kenya thought, What kind of swordsman are you talking about? as he lowered his shirt.
“I think it’s cool too… very much so…”
Reina also chimed in, shyly complimenting the scar. Has her personality changed?
Even so, it’s a wound caused by carelessness, so it’s not something to be proud of… But I guess protagonists in manga do often have big scars. Even the one aiming to be the Pirate King had a huge scar on his chest.
Misuzu noticed Reina’s behavior.
“Emergency strategy meeting!!”
“Huh? Wait, Misuzu?”
Misuzu took Nana outside. Kenya watched them curiously as they left.

“Wait, what’s going on? What’s that all about?”
“What’s what?”
Misuzu, breathing heavily, demanded to know from Nana what had happened.
“Don’t you get it, Nana? She had the look of someone who just overcame past trauma together, as if their hearts had connected!”
“What kind of look is that?”
“Oh, I can’t believe it! She totally made a move! Reina said she wasn’t interested in stuff like this. Unbelievable.”
Misuzu covered her face with both hands and looked up at the sky.
“Wait, are you saying Reina is getting close to brother?”
Even Nana, who is usually clueless about romance, finally understood what Misuzu was implying.
“She had the face of a girl in love. And her beauty is off the charts. No way.”
“I think Misuzu is plenty cute too.”
“Of course, I’m cute. My face is like that of someone from Tokyo University.”
She really said it… And it’s hard to deny it…
“But she’s on a whole different level. She’s got NASA-level looks.”
NASA isn’t a university…
But I get what she’s trying to say. Reina is unfairly beautiful. Even though she’s half-Japanese, she looks like a full Japanese with stunning blue eyes. And she’s got a model-like figure, plus she’s a hero…
“Yeah, it seems like this is settled…”
“Nanaaa~”
Even from Nana’s perspective as a girl, Reina is flawless. Misuzu is cute too, but… she’s full of flaws. She’s selfish, lazy, a pervert, and a bit mentally unstable.
Honestly, is this a done deal? The only hope is that brother has a thing for Misuzu’s quirks.
“At this point, we should aim for the mistress position…”
“You never waver, do you?”
Nana, though exasperated, returned to the room with Misuzu, whose fiery determination hadn’t dimmed.
◇
“What were you two doing?”
“Nothing.”
Huh? Why are they being so cold…
“Anyway, I have something important to discuss!”
His sister and Misuzu seemed a bit cold, but Kenya decided to brush it off and sat them down in front of him.
“Could it be… you’re going to announce your wedding?”
“No, that’s not it! Today, I want to decide on a name!”
“Could it be… for your child…?”
“No, no! What are you even talking about? I want us to decide on our guild’s name!”
