Few weeks has passed since I attended the academy here in Crimson Demon Village. I quickly got along with my classmates and they asked a lot questions about my personal information like my favorite food, hobbies, likes and dislikes, what type of girl I like and many more. I just give them simple answer while the sensitive questions with vague answers.
After our class ended, I went to the river with Komekko to catch some fish for dinner tonight. I just slapped the fishes out of the flowing water and caught them within the basket on my back. I grilled some of the fish for Komekko to eat.
"Onii-chan, this is great!" she was very happy munching the grilled fish and I gave her a thumbs up.
Sitting on the rocky shore while soaking my feet on my river water, I was relaxing watching peaceful scenery of the forest when a portal opened above the above the river.
"Huh?"
"Kyaah!"
I heard Shizu-nee's scream as she fell on the river together with Lolisa and the two shipgirl maids. Water splashes on me and my clothes are now completely soak in water.
"Sorry, Haru-kun..."
Shizu-nee apologized to me then I just sighed, smiling to them after seeing them returned safely.
"Welcome back, Shizu-nee... Lolisa!"
"Hehe..."
Both of them looked at each other then they grinned to me with peace sign on their hands.
"We're back, Haru-kun!" "We're back, Onii-sama!"
While having snacks together at the shore, the two told me what happened to their side and how they ended up the war in that world. The Sakura Empire and Iron Blood suffered big lost in their last battle and they ended up surrendering to the Eagle Union and Royal Navy then peace has returned back to their world.
"In other words, you used Spacequake to nuke out your enemies. I see. I see. What a great idea! Is that what you think that I would say?"
I pinched their cheek at the same time.
Shizu-nee was in pain while Lolisa was enjoying it.
"It hurts..."
"Hehehe..."
I sighed, letting go of them.
"What happened has already happened. With the new skills that you two learned, there's supposed to be a better way to end the war without using that devastating attack."
"It can't be helped. We just want to end the battle quickly so we can return back home quickly." Shizu-nee was sulking.
"That's your home world, Shizu-nee--No! Enterprise."
"What are talking about, Haru-kun?! My real home is Haru-kun side!"
"I agree with Onee-sama. Onii-sama is the real home." Lolisa followed.
It hard to have a siblings with brother complex. Lolisa has already infected our big sister. Well, she already have it from the start and she's not just taking it seriously for my sake. Who would use their own brother as type of guy they like?
"Please give me a break."
Since there is no place for them to stay in the Crimson Demon Village, I teleported with them in Axel Town after sending home Komekko.
The house has already been unlock since Yunyun went back with Megumin here in Axel Town. I knocked on the entrance and Yunyun quickly opened the door. She was happy when she saw Shizu-nee and Lolisa with me together with new companions.
"Shizuka-oneechan!"
Shizu-nee hugged Yunyun tightly then she rubbed her cheek to her again as a sign of affection.
"Yunyun! You're so cute, Yunyun! My little sister in law!"
"Welcome back!" Yunyun has a tears in her eyes.
Yunyun saw Lolisa who has grumpy look on her face.
"Welcome back too, Lolisa-san!"
Lolisa sighed and just smiled to her.
"I'm back." she shyly responded.
After getting inside the house, Belfast explained to me their current situation that since the war just ended against enemy nations, my big sister also known as Enterprise has expressed her desire to resign from Azur Lane but it was refused since she is the strongest ship in Eagle Union. They are avoiding the power balance to fall off since Shizu-nee and Lolisa are the one who carried them to victory.
Enterprise was given a very long vacation and she will be called back as last line of defense for Azur Lane. Belfast and the smol version of her which is little Bell was ordered by the Queen of Royal Navy to look after Enterprise and support her daily life as her personal maid. It's also to assure that she will return back to Azur Lane when she's needed.
Belfast asked me a favor to let them stay at the house in promise that she will also serve me and everyone in the house since Enterprise is my big sister.
I agree since it will make feel at ease since I'm always away from home and no one will take care my slobby sisters. I showed them to their new room which is near the kitchen and used to be a storage room. Since, we already cleaned it up, it can now be used as new guess room.
"Thank you, Haru-sama."
Belfast and Little Bel gracefully bowed to me then they entered the new room to unpacked their things.
Now the members of the house has increased. A Human but actually a Demi-God which is me, three shipgirls including my big sister, the Brocon spirit which is my little sister and lastly, the Crimson Demon girl that I adored.
"I wondered what will happen after this."
After that, I returned to Crimson demon village and cooked dinner for Komekko.
----
The next day, Komekko brought me a new magic tool from her father's work shop and I disassembled it at school for studying purposes. I was able to reassembled some of them and even took off defects but mostly, I failed and just returned it with more defects. In the first place, all the magic tools has defects including the one who made it.
Right now, I am disassembling a water purifier which is a magic tool that cleans up water for drinking from any water source but the problem is that the water you drank from it will cause you a severe stomachache.
"What a useless magic tool. The last magic tool was a bracelet that makes you attractive to opposite sex but defect was it only attracts worthless men or women. An amazing magic tool but at the same time... a trash."
While working, Arue together with Funifura and Dodonko approached me.
"Stop trying to fix that trash, Harukin. You should just join me for lunch. I made homemade sandwich for you." Dodonko showed me her basket filled with different flavor of sandwich.
"That's unfair! I also want him to eat with me. I just made karage for him." Funifura followed while carrying two lunch box.
Arue was holding a bottle and invited me too.
"Let's have some tea. I also made some snack and you can eat it while reading my new manuscript. I want you to know what you think about it."
"Me too! I made a lunch for you!" Nerimaki fall in line behind them then other girls followed as they swarm around me.
"Me too!" "I want to eat with him!"
"No, I want to eat him!"
"He's so handsome! No wonder he's popular!"
"Kyah! Harukin! Please noticed me!"
I just smiled to them while dropping all the disassembled parts of magic tool in my spatial storage.
"Sorry, girls but I have something important to do. Bye bye~"
I teleported and disappeared from the class which made them disappointed.
