Chereads / Life in DXD / Chapter 26 - I Hate You

Chapter 26 - I Hate You

The next morning Tatsuya woke up early like he is used to and went for his morning workout but surprising for him Miyuki was not accompanying him. Tatsuya thought for a while if something was wrong and used his magic to find where she was. Getting her presence from her room he thought, 'they must be talking till late in the night'. He shrugged his thoughts and went out.

After completing his workout, he came back completely drenched in sweat. He opened the door and went inside. While walking towards the kitchen he smelled something good. When he entered the kitchen he found Himari cooking something for the breakfast.

When Himari noticed someone coming inside the kitchen, she turned around to look who was there. When she found that Tatsuya came she gave him a smile and said, "breakfast will be done in a while, you should go and take a shower and get refreshed."

Tatsuya also smiled back at her and nodded before going to bathroom.

After taking a shower Tatsuya came out and saw that Himari was setting the table. He then went towards her and decided to help her and said that she should go and wake the others up. Complying to his request Himari went to wake the others up and Tatsuya set the table.

All of them sat around the table and started to eat their food. Tatsuya took a bite of his food and then looked towards Himari and said, "It's delicious Himari, it's been a long time since someone made something for me so I really appreciate it." He gave a small and gentle smile which made Himari blushed. Looking at both of them Miyuki and Kurumi gave a glare of jealousy to Himari. Himari looked at them for a while and then smirked. Seeing his smirk both of them had nerves popping on their foreheads. Tatsuya ignored the three of them and continued eating his breakfast.

After finishing the meal Tatsuya gave some money to the girls and asked them to accompany Himari in buying some clothes and necessities that she might require. He could not accompany them as he had some work in his restaurant.

After working for a while in the kitchen Tatsuya went out to take a break and just as he stepped out of the gate he bumped into someone and fell back. He immediately got up and said, "I am sorry for bumping into you it was not intentional." He moved his hand forward for the person to get up. The person he bumped into was a girl with short black hair. The girl took his hand and said, "No it's not you fault, I was not looking ahead while running, I hope you can forgive me." She bowed her head towards Tatsuya.

Seeing her actions Tatsuya lightly chuckled and said, "you don't have to apologize I am fine by the way I am Tatsuya Shiba Nice to meet you." The girl nodded and said, "Nice to meet you as well I am Sona Sitri and I apologize again for bumping into you."

Just as Tatsuya was about to speak a pink blur appeared in front of him and Sona vanished from her spot. "So-tan found you."said a voice. "Onee-sama control yourself." said another voice. Tatsuya looked at the source of the voice and saw Serfall hugging Sona tightly. Serfall kept hugging Sona tightly but saw Tatsuya standing near them and got excited and enveloped him in a hug as well and said, "Tatsuya-chan what are you doing here, did you missed me?" Tatsuya who was still in her embrace said, "I am here because you are literally standing in front of my restaurant and I missed you Sera."

Serfall who heard him became embarrassed and then smiled on hearing that he missed her. "I missed you as well and this time I brought my sister as well." said Serfall excitedly.

"I am happy meeting you and all but-" said Tatsuya with a happy face but it soon turned neutral and both him and Sona said at the same time, "Can you please put us down." Hearing them Serfall was a bit disappointed but still put both of them down. When they got out of her embrace Sona bowed towards Tatsuya and said, "I am sorry for my sister's actions she is a bit childish." Tatsuya waved his hands and said, "No need I know how excited can she be." Sona looked up and then looked at him and asked, "How do you know Onee-sama." "Oh, she is just a regular customer and we are good friends that's all." Tatsuya then looked at her intently and said, "so you are the infamous so-tan who don't like magical girls and is cold to Sera huh."

Hearing Tatsuya talking about her Sona got embarrassed and looked towards Serfall with hatered. when Serfall noticed her gaze she looked away from her and then asked Tatsuya, "so what are you doing Tatsuya-chan?" Tatsuya looked at her with an expressionless face and said, "don't try change the topic, anyways I am just taking a break from my work in the kitchen what about you."

Serfall pouted cutely and then smiled and said, "I just came to treat so-tan lunch and to meet ." Tatsuya nodded and said, "Then follow me the restaurant is already full you would not be able to eat there." Tatsuya turned around and started walking. Serfall didn't thing anything and followed Tatsuya happily. Seeing her sister's care free attitude, Sona sighed at her carelessness but still followed. Tatsuya went to his house and opened the door and went inside. He didn't saw anyone in there and thought that the others were still shopping. Tatsuya sent a telepathic message to them about the current situation. He invited the sisters in his home and made them seated in the living room. He gave them a cup of tea and some refreshments and went to the kitchen to cook.

While he was cooking Sona and Serfall were sitting in the living room. Sona turned towards to Serfall and asked why are we here onee-sama. Serfall smiled and said, "like I said I want to treat you an excellent lunch." Sona looked at Serfall intently and said, "what's the real reason." Serfall smiled and said, "as sharp as ever eh, I just wanted you to have more friend and who knows if the you found him interesting you can ask him to join your peerage."

Sona sighed and said, "He is just a normal human and why do you want me to have more friends?" Serfall stopped smiling and turned to her 'onee-san' mad and asked, "how many friends do you have?" Hearing her question Sona looked away and said, "...o" What are you saying I can't her you" Hearing her sister Sona got agitated and said, " I SAID THAT I HAVE TWO FRIENDS."

Realising what she just did Sona became red from embarrasment and looked away. Seeing her embarrassed Serfall hugged her and started laughing.

Tatsuya who heard them from the kitchen couldn't help but sigh. After a few moments he went back to the living room and said, "Lunch is ready, let's go eat before it turns cold." Serfall nodded and jumped from the sofa with Sona in her embrace. Tatsuya looked at Sona and said in a mocking tone, "you really do love your sister." Sona who heard him got red and looked away while saying, "shut up". Tatsuya just laughed and led them to the dining room.

In the dining room there were six plates on the table. Seeing six plates Sona and Serfall got confused and asked, "is there someone joining us?" Tatsuya looked at them and said, "yeah my housemates will be joining I hope you don't mind." Hearing him Serfall smiled and said, "It's alright we don't mind where are they?"

Just when Serfall asked him the doorbell rung. Tatsuya smiled and said, "There" Hearing his answer they all laughed and Tatsuya went to open the door.

Tatsuya came back with the others and introduced them to each other. While eating they talked a lot and Miyuki got along well with Serfall because they both like magical girls. Seeing Miyuki getting along with Serfall Sona felt a little bitter as she also wanted to be frank with her sister but was unable to do so.

Seeing her like that Tatsuya came near her and said in a slow voice, "feeling jealous eh?" Hearing his voice Sona got startled and looked back at him with a blush and said, "no". Tatsuya had a mischievous smile on his face and said, "list" and started chuckling. Seeing him chuckle Sona gritted her teeth and lashed out, "no I am not." They both continued to bicker for a while and the others left them alone and went to watch a movie.

Both of them were breathing heavily been from all the arguing that they had done. Tatsuya looked at her and said, "let's leave it at that for now, we will continue it later I am tired of this." Sona didn't said anything and just nodded. They both went to the living room and saw the others watching a movie. They both sat down and watched the movie for a while but it didn't interest them. Tatsuya looked at her and asked, "want to do something else." Sona looked back at him and said, "sure, do you have something in mind." Tatsuya shook his head in denial. Sona thought for a while and said with a grin, "let's play chess then I want to see you lose." Tatsuya looked at her and said with a small smile, "we will see who will lose.

Tatsuya brought a chess set and they both started playing. In the beginning the match looked in Sona's favour but Tatsuya turned the tables at the later part of the match. They both were very excited playing with the match and ignored the others who were watching them attentively. After a while both Tatsuya and Sona sighed in dissapointment as the match ended in a draw but they were happy as they enjoyed match.

After their match was over Serfall came towards them and said, "let's go back Sona it's very late." Hearing that they were going back Miyuki became sad. Sona was sad as well but didn't showed it on her face.

Tatsuya seeing all this turned towards Serfall and said, "Sera why don't you stay here for the night as it is already very late Miyuki would be happy as well." Serfall looked at Miyuki who was looking at her with puppy dog eyes. Serfall tried to resist but at last got defeated and said, "fine fine we will stay here, happy now" Miyuki smiled and nodded.

Tatsuya then made a mischievous face and said, "you will not be disappointed as I have prepared something that you would like a lot." Serfall smiled at him but didn't expect too much from Tatsuya.

Tatsuya then prepared dinner for everyone and after dinner gave them some pajamas which belonged to Miyuki and Kurumi to them and said, "Lets go I will show you the guest room." They nodded and followed him. Tatsuya opened the door and switched on the lights. He turned towards them and said, "Ther is only one bed so you need to sleep together." Hearing him Serfall face brighten up and she hugged Tatsuya vey tightly. She left him and grabbed Sona who was trying to leave the room silently. Tatsuya looked at her and gave her a mocking smirk and said, "I hope you liked my hospitality Sera." Serfall nodded her head vigorously but Sona gave a death glare to Tatsuya. Tatsuya turned around and before closing the door said, "Enjoy" Sona who saw him set her up and then leaving was enraged and shouted, "I HATE YOU TATSUYA!!!"
