{2 days later after Takoshi(Tithi) eliminated the entire organization Popa}

2 days later after Tithi’s family funeral, one of his teacher told him to move to Japan because someone there wanted to take care of him and had arranged his school in Japan hours later Tithi took off in the airport on his way to Japan, the travel would take 2 days. “Hey!!” when he arrived, a beautiful women called out to me and ran towards him. “I finally caught up to you Tithi” she said while panting.

In Tithi’s confusion he looked at her and asked “I am sorry but who are you? “he really doesn’t know who is this lady is and she even knew his name but her face is so familiar that it might jogged in Tithi’s memory. “Did you really forgot? I am the one who took care of you back when you are here the first time in Japan for three months. I am your maid Hitari Kouno back then” she said then Tithi remembers who she is now. “I remember you now! You’re the maid that showed me around in Japan back then!” he said while being excited Hitari is 24 years old living in japan, back then she showed Tithi around Japan and taught him their culture as well and learned Japanese pretty much quick but still bad at it.

“Hitari why are you here in the airport and how did you know I am coming? Also your hair is messed up” as Tithi said with a smile on his face she fixed her hair and told him “Ah well it might be a bit of a sudden but I heard about your family and i was the one who requested to take care of you” Tithi in surprised told her “Wha…really? Why would you take care of me?”

“Well it seemed like no one in your country would take care of you so I had to take you in myself. Will you live with me? I have an empty bedroom in my apartment” Hitari put both of her hands on her back and waiting for my answer “I don’t know about this. It is too sudden” Tithi Looking at her face it seemed like Hitari went through all the trouble for this and Tithi cannot take down that offer with that look on Hitari’s face also it will be hard for him to be living alone at this age. “Well okay then I will live together with you on your apartment” Hitari jumped in excitement

“Yay! Well then from now call me Big sister Hitari, is that okay with you?”

“I’m not sure but okay”

“We need to give you a new name before we get going how about it? That name sure sounds a bit.”

“Uh yeah in my region, in Chinese it translates little brother and what will my new name will be?”

“Oh I see… I always wanted this name for a little brother, your name will be Takoshi Kouno! For short Takoshi Kouno”

Tithi who didn’t want to change his name but he thought about that he will be living in Japan from now on Tithi might as well get used to the name but he will still remember his old name “That name sounds great but I’m going to miss my old name. I will try to get used with this name from now on.”

Hitari took her purse and one of Takoshi’s luggage “Let’s get going to our apartment!” Takoshi grabbed his other luggage and moved it into Hitari’s car then Hitari drove to her apartment. The streets in Japan was crowded and very bright looking at it makes Takoshi remembered his past memories when his family went onto Malaysia to celebrate his birthday not long enough Takoshi arrived to Hitari’s large apartment “okay we have arrived to my apartment!” Hitari parked her car near the garage and both of them went out of the car and walked into the apartment, Takoshi saw the huge apartment “Wow this is your apartment? It’s so huge! Do you live here on your own?”

“No I lived with my 2 little sisters both of them are a year younger than you”

“So they are 9?

“Yes and they are still in school they are really sweet don’t you worry about it” Before even Hitari opened her apartment’s door, the door opened itself and in the front door was two little girls who was assumed to be Hitari’s little sister both sister greeted Takoshi.

A brown hair girl wearing a cartoonish white shirt greeted Takoshi “Welcome to our apartment! My name is Hinari Kouno it is nice to meet you!” then a silver haired girl wearing a green shirt greeted him “We are very pleased to have you here! My name is Imouto Kouno we hope you enjoy staying here!” Takoshi was almost scared to death by that entrance it was terrifying. “T-Thank you and nice to meet you all, my old name is used to be Tithi now my new name is Takoshi Kouno”

“We knew already about you” Hinari said it while her arms crossed at the back of her body

“Before you came here big sis Hitari told us you will be living with us” Imouto said with a sweet and cute smile on her face “Yes, he will be your older brother from now on. Tithi ah I mean Takoshi please take good care of them okay?”

“I will sister Hitari” Imouto took Takoshi’s luggage and told him “I will help take your stuff to your bedroom that me and Hinari prepared for you”

Hinari told them “We also made dinner while you’re out sis and Takoshi you will taste my greatest dish that I have prepared for you it is the finest in this household hehe” Takoshi who was really hungry back at the airport but after hearing that now it sounded mouthwatering to him.

“Must be delicious then well I’m going to go to my room and pack my stuff I will eat dinner with you all later”

“Don’t take too long or the foods going to be cold” The two sisters were really nice and very helpful with Hitari on their household and chores Tithi went to his room and the room was huge everything in this room is decorated and very well cleaned. The two sisters must have a rough time cleaning this room.

“Nice room isn’t it?”

Takoshi had his mouth opened in shocked of the space at the race“It is so big and spacious”

“Well this room was originally a storage room beside my room next door when Hinari and i knew you were coming we didn’t take a rest for a day cleaning this room until its spot clean”

“You guys must be tired then”

“Nope not a little bit we used to clean a room like this in our old house”

“Old house? Where is that exactly?” Imouto who seemed to be worried about telling about it “Well its-“Hinari voice was heard from below calling Takoshi and Imouto to eat, Takoshi packed his stuff as fast as he can and went down to eat dinner with them all. We sat down at the dining table and ate the dinner Hinari cooked.

Hitari told Takoshi “By the way Takoshi, you will be attending high school after 5 years is that okay with you?”

“Yeah I knew about it already by my teachers in Brunei”

*Both Imouto and Hinari*[Looks confused]” Why?” Hinari and Imouto was confused by that sentence because it was a weird hearing to them Hitari told them “Because he passed his middle school or should I say graduated and the school he is going to needed a minimum age of 15 so he can go to high school and it cannot be other high school” Takoshi who was really hungry and cannot wait any longer “Yeah but now let’s eat dinner” Takoshi took a bite of a steamed chicken [After taking a bite of Chicken]” Delicious!” The steamed chicken who had been cooked by Hinari was really delicious “Thanks for the compliment Takoshi”

“Where did you learn to cook Hinari?” Hitari told Takoshi “I taught them to cook”

“Yep sis Hitari taught us how to cook and last time I cooked terribly but now I have improved a lot!”

“Learning from basic is the best thing to do isn’t it?” Imouto who seemed to be sad asked Takoshi to eat the food she cooked,

[Poked Takoshi]” U-umm I also cooked for you, have a taste” Imouto presented her dish and gave Takoshi a fork to eat with

[took the plate]” Looks good Imouto I am sure it will be really delicious”T akoshi look over at Hitari and Hinari who have been giving him ‘not to eat’ signs and as Imouto glance over them they looked the other direction away from her.

*They kept giving me those signs, I am sure it will not taste bad as it looks*[Take a bite]” URFGHH!!!!” The food Imouto cooked is awfully bitter and have no taste at all Takoshi swallowed the whole food in his mouth because he doesn’t want to give awful compliments on her.

[Smiles]” How was it? Is it delicious?”

[Swallowed the food]” It taste good Imouto, you’re really good at cooking too” [giving a thumbs up]

[Both Hinari and Hitari] *That doesn’t look like a real compliment…. *

“Hehe next time I will cook you an even greater dish”

*Even worse than this one?! No I will teach her properly to cook so she will not serve anything like that again*” How about this Imouto I will teach you about cooking from now is that okay?”

“Sure!”

After dinner Imouto and Hinari brought Takoshi to the living room to talk about each other and getting to know one another,

“Well let’s begin our introduction, let’s start with you both” Imouto raises her hand “I will volunteer first to tell”

“Alright go ahead Imouto”

“My name is Imouto Kouno, I am 9 years old and I loved playing games, watching anime,catching bugs and most of all I always love to draw cute characters and sometimes weird characters”Imouto a kid at these age loves playing games and watching anime but usually kids these age watching cartoons and play with dolls.

“I also loved to play games and watching anime, I always stay in my room on my previous home.”

“What is your favorite anime and what games do you love to play the most?”

“I watched a lot of anime, my number one favorite is Superball Kai and the bizarre adventure of JuJo for games…. I can’t really decide which to pick as the top the two favorite games of mine is Pocket monsters and Silent mountain”

[Amazed] “Awesome my favorite anime is Pilot Moon and I loved playing Doki Book Club!” Doki Book Club! Was a game never heard by Takoshi, it might be a new game so he asked her about it.

[Confused] “Doki Book Club? Never heard of that game or I might forgot”

Imouto told Takoshi in her passionate way of telling “IT’S A GREAT GAME ABOUT 4 GIRLS IN A BOOK CLUB, IT STARTED AS A NORMAL DATING SIMULATOR BUT THE FURTHER YOU GO THERE WILL BE-“ Hinari stopped Imouto before she finishes her last sentence

“Stop right there with spoilers, let him play the game himself it’d be no surprise if he knew about it”

“Ooops sorry about that”

“It’s okay I will play it for myself sometime”

“Trust me Big Bro it is an AMAZING GAME!” Seeing her all hyped up made Takoshi to play the game someday, now Hinari is the one next to introduce herself,

“Okay Hinari it’s your turn”

“Ok-okay, my name is Hinari Kouno I am the older sister of Imouto but we are not twins even though we have the same age” It’s rare for twins to born on the same year but different months and different days,

“When did you both celebrate your birthday?”

“My birthday is on 16 November the same day as Sis Hitari” Imouto told me about it then continued with Hinari “I am on 5 March same day as our mother. Continuing…I loved reading books, cleaning and most of my free time I always watch the blue sky on night I love gazing towards the night sky with stars all over the sky”

“Why do you love gazing the sky?”

“Because it’s pretty and beautiful on the clear sky even on day with clouds I can almost feel the wind is a part of me” Hinari talked about it with a calm voice

“Well it’s your turn to introduce yourself Takoshi”

“What’s wrong? You looked pale”

Takoshi who tried to talk about himself remembered his dark past and made him having difficulties to

speak about it

“I…. I….” His dark past tangling around in his head he can’t even spoke a word to them instead Takoshi ran off to his bedroom and lay on bed for a while, later a knock was heard on the door and opened Hitari went inside and sat on the bed comforting Takoshi.

“They told me you ran off suddenly when they told you to introduce yourself is something wrong?” Takoshi didn’t really like to talk about it, every time he thought about the past it really broke his heart.

“N-Nothing, I don’t want to talk about it”

“It’s about your family right?” suddenly he felt a soft body hugging him Takoshi looked at his back, “Huh?”

[Hugging]” don’t worry it’s going to be alright, I wanted to told you about this too we also don’t have a parents.” Hearing that made Takoshi feel an ominous feeling inside him, fearing what he will heard later it will really make Hitari sad.

[Shocked]*They also did? *” How did you three don’t have parents?”

“Our parents are one of the richest company in the world and we lived in a mansion not too long ago, but then our parents passed away due to health problems and our parents money didn’t have enough to pay off the debt of the mansion so we moved away from the mansion and lived into the city using enough money I bought this apartment and we lived in this house ever since I also got a job as a maid then I met you my first “master” you looked very gentle and cute I loved to bring you sightseeing in japan but three months went by so fast since I heard about your family I took all the trouble to take care of you and here we are now”

she finished telling her story then Takoshi saw her tears fell down from her eyes little by little Takoshi hold her head with his hand and slowly pat her head calming her down,

“I’m sorry about your family”

“Wipes off tears]” Don’t be, haha together from now we will take care of each other okay?” Hinari then gets back up from the bed and started to walk to the door [Gets up from the bed]” Well

come now I prepared a bath for you go take a clean shower”

“Alright” Hitari walked out of my bedroom and still saw in tears Takoshi felt really bad for making her told it about all of that, Takoshi went to the bathroom to take a bath Hitari prepared for him as soon he opened the door he saw Hinari in the shower half naked…

“Oh ummm, wrong time to bathe huh? Haha”

“AHHHHHH!!!!!” Hinari started threw shampoos and stuff at Takoshi,

[closes my eyes with my hand]” I am sorry! I didn’t know you were taking a bath!”

“Could you at least knock before you enter?!”

“THEN WHY DIDN’T YOU LOCK THE BATHROOM DOOR?!”

“J-JUST GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM!!” He immediately went out of the bathroom and went inside in his bedroom. Takoshi didn’t even knew that she was taking a bath at least she could have lock the door or maybe she forgot to? After witnessing that embarrassing scene Takoshi didn’t bother to take a bath now and went to sleep

“I will tell about my story to the sisters maybe 5 years later or so, they will have to wait until then”
