{Mizuki POV}
I was shocked at the news. At first I thought that he was not serious. But at the start of summer vacation, he really moved out.
He gave us his address. It was in Shibuya. Only two stations away from here.
He moved out and started living there. The house was finally free of him. Mother was in a good mood since he moved out.
Father was also. But I couldn't calm down. I need to have a good talk with him.
So on August 9th I went there. I looked at the address. It was correct. A three story apartment complex.
His room was on the second floor. So I went upstairs and saw his name on the door.
I pressed the bell. But no one answered. I tried knocking but it was the same.
Maybe he wasn't at home. So I went down and started looking around.
"What are you doing here?" Someone asked me from behind.
I jumped back in shock and looked at the person who snuck up on me.
It was my brother. He was standing behind me with a convenience store bento in his hand.
"Don't scare me like that." I said.
"Sorry." He apologized. No matter what you do he will apologize if he is in the wrong.
I wanted to talk to my brother but he sent me away. Like he was getting rid of me.
I went away and turned around the corner then waited for him to go in.
He went in. Now I can eavesdrop on him.
I went to the door and put my ear on the door.
I can hear someone. A man with my brother.
Was he living with someone. No, that's not the case. Then maybe his friend is here.
But he has no friends. So who was the man.
When I was thinking all of this, my brother asked the man who he was.
"I am a god." That's what I heard.
What? Is he crazy? He is calling himself a god. My brother accepted that pretty easily.
Well he has always been accepting. So he accepted it.
My brother asked his name. He said that he is Zeus.
I was totally engrossed in hearing things that I didn't notice.
"What are you doing?" Someone snuck up on me again.
But I hushed her. It was Momoko.
The girl who is the reason my brother stopped being himself.
Momoko asked what I was doing. I answered her honestly.
She for some reason also joined me. Now we are both eavesdropping.
"So Akatsuki, I am here to tell you some things. Will you hear me out?" It was Zeus who said that.
"The King of Olympian gods is here to talk to me. So I have to." (A)
"Then, I will tell you your role in this story." (Z)
"My role? Am I not a mob character?" (A)
My brother and the man named Zeus were talking about something weird. My brother said that he was mob character.
What does that even mean? What's a mob character?
"No. You are now the protagonist. So you have to get ready." (Z)
"What? Was I not a mob? Who just stands in a corner and fills the background. I always kept that persona." (A)
"No. Due to sudden changes the script was rewritten. Your sister and your childhood friend are the heroines. So who better than you." (Z)
"No. I won't become the hero. It's a pain. Make someone else the hero." (A)
"There you go. Giving up the center stage. The hero is supposed to have a harem. So wasn't that your dream?" (Z)
"No. I gave up on that dream a long time ago. Now I just wanna live in peace. A complete loner life." (A)
My brother was talking about some strange things. Like a harem. What is a harem? And we are the heroines. What is that?
Momoko was grinding her teeth like she was angry. But why was she angry?
I didn't understand anything.
"Don't be like that. I am fixing your mess." (Z)
"My mess? So I did something?" (A)
"Yeah. We have to go to the Library. When we get there you will know." (Z)
"Okay." (A)
Then it became silent. There was no voice coming from inside.
Where did they go? I tried opening the door.
It opened. But no one was there. It was empty.
I was freaking. What is happening?
Momoko also entered behind me.
"Where did they go?" She asked me.
"How would I know?" I angrily answered.
But we both were uncertain and had a lot of questions.
"Let's discuss the things we heard." She said.
"Yeah." I reluctantly said because I didn't understand a single thing.
"What's a harem?" I asked her.
She was uncomfortable answering that.
"You see…a harem is thing that men dream of. When a man marries more than one woman, it becomes a harem." She was angry answering that.
"A man marrying multiple women. That can happen." I was shocked to know too.
"So my brother used to dream of something like that." I was angry for some reason.
Whenever I thought of my brother talking to another women I got really upset.
"But what was that? Everything is just so strange." Momoko said.
"Indeed. I guess we have to ask him directly." I said.
"Yes. But would he answer us? I mean he likes to stall. So maybe he wouldn't give us clear answers." Momoko expressed her uncertainty.
Well she wasn't wrong. My brother is like that.
"But all we can do is that." I said.
