"I'm home."
Entering his house, Haru saw someone else's shoes. He knew very well whose shoes it was. Walking to the living room, he saw a beautiful girl with quite a weak presence.
Her name was Kato Megumi. She is a cute girl with straight shoulder-length chestnut-brown hair. Even though she was beautiful and had a very "perfect proportions", her presence was very weak. It might be because she didn't have something stand out which somehow made her like this.
Smiling, Haru was happy to see this girl here since she was Sora's only friend.
"Megumi!"
"Yes, Haru."
Megumi answered Haru with quite a bland voice, but she smiled when she looked at him.
"Do you want ice cream?" Haru asked while showing a plastic bag in his hand.
"Thank you."
Haru took an ice cream inside the plastic bag and gave it to Megumi.
"Haagen Dazs?"
Megumi was a bit surprised but she didn't change her expression.
"Hmm, you don't like it?" Haru asked.
Megumi shook her head and asked, "No, it is just a bit expensive right?" Thinking about Haru's situation, she felt that it was better to save money.
Waving his hand, Haru said, "You don't need to worry that much, where is Sora?"
"She is in the toilet now," Megumi said.
"So what are you doing here? Are you going to play?" Haru asked.
"I'm going to study with Sora," Kato said while eating the ice cream.
Haru looked at her who was eating the ice cream. He thought this girl was a ninja or assassin when he met her for the first time.
"Did you think something was rude about me?" Kato asked.
Haru nodded and asked, "Yes, how did you know?" He knew that she wouldn't get mad no matter what and talking with her was really relaxing to him.
"You're not gonna deny it?" Megumi asked with a helpless expression.
"No, I think we need to solve your lack of presence, or else you can only become a ninja or assassin in the future," Haru said with a serious expression.
"You know, if you keep saying that I'll get angry," Megumi said, but her expression saying otherwise since she was very calm at this moment.
Haru was about to say something, but he heard Sora's voice.
"Haru, did you bully her again?"
"No, I'm just talking to each other right, Megumi?" Haru said.
"Well, he just said that I can only become a ninja or assassin in the future," Kato said while eating ice cream. She didn't even look mad or anything and was just there eating ice cream.
"You should get angry at him!!!" Sora said.
"You didn't mean harm right?" Kato asked.
"Hmm, it has just been a while since I met you Megumi. I really miss you," Haru said with a serious expression.
Sora was annoyed and pulled his ear, "Don't bother our study! Gurry up and go away!!"
When both of them argued with each other, Megumi looked down to hide her blush.
"Alright, don't pull my ear!!"
Haru sighed and said, "Oh, right! Aunt will come in two days."
"Eh? Why?"
Sora was surprised.
"Did you forget that I'm going to open a cafe? I have bought a house and I need her to become the guarantor," Haru said.
"Hmm."
Sora nodded and wasn't sure what to do when she met her aunt since it had been a while.
"I will go to my room. I won't bother your study," Haru said while waving his hand. He couldn't help them study since he wanted to search for information about the older sister of those ghosts. He wanted to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Sora shook her head and looked at Megumi.
"Megumi, don't listen to his nonsense, let's study."
Megumi looked at Sora and asked, "Is Haru going to open a cafe?" She was a bit curious since she heard their conversation earlier.
Sora looked at her only friend at the school. She had a hard time socializing with people around her and she also didn't want to socialize, but Kati Megumi was different. She didn't know why but this girl had a very weak presence even though she was very beautiful.
But even though Megumi was her friend she wouldn't allow her brother to date her.
Sora nodded at her question and said, "Yeah, he wants to make a maid cafe."
"Maid cafe? What is that?"
Megumi looked quite curious.
"Hmm, it is a cafe where you will be served by a cute girl who is dressed in a maid outfit," Sora answered.
"Hmm, interesting."
Megumi felt that if it was Haru then it was possible to make such a cafe.
Sora looked weirdly at her friend since her reaction was too bland. Waving her hand, she said, "Anyway, let's study. I want to enter that high school no matter what with him." She took her book and started to answer the question within.
Megumi looked at her friend and thought this girl still hadn't cured her brother complex. She knew that her love for her older brother was a bit too much than a normal sibling but she decided to not talk about it. She knew there were some circumstances and it wasn't her place to say anything and she also didn't think too much about it. Rather she didn't think that it was something bad since love was free.
Megumi had always been curious about love but no one had ever noticed her. She didn't want a confession, lovers, or anything. She only wanted a chance to fall in love with someone that could cause her to speak.
'Ah, so I could fall in love just like that...'
Megumi had always wanted such a simple thing, but her weak presence made it hard to achieve that. Everyone ignored her and only those two siblings were the ones who reached her.
"Megumi, do you not understand the question? Your pen is stopping," Sora asked.
"Hmm, I'm thinking about this problem."
"Do you need my help?"
"No, it is okay, I think I know the answer."
Megumi thought about the relationship between Haru and Sora and knew that something was starting to change but she wasn't sure whether this change was bad or good. She decided to continue her study since she knew it was pretty much useless overthinking their relationship.

Haru sat down and opened his laptop.
"Yuri Nakamura."
Haru tried to search for someone with this name on the internet. He felt that he had heard this name from his ex-girlfriend in the past.
'Is she a kendo champion or something?'
Haru had dated a sports girl and remembered that his ex-girlfriend seemed to talk about Yuri Nakamura in the past. But he wasn't sure and decided to make sure whether Yuri Nakamura was related to the robbery case on that house or not.
