Chapter 338: Stay of execution
"I hope Nanami doesn't do anything unreasonable. Zu zu zu!"(TN:Tea sipping noises.)
"Well, it's okay, isn't it. Also, Noelle-chan, is it? It seems it went slightly beyond a childish prank, it's fine to just leave it to Nanami and the others. Zu zu zu!"
"Is that so. Zu zu zu!"
Left alone, I went to the living room and chatted with my mother over tea.
-Ton ton ton ton!
After chatting and drinking tea with my mother for about 30 minutes, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. It seems that the discussion is over.
"Nanami, are you done?"
"Yup, it's perfect!! She won't cause trouble for Onii-chan in the future, so don't worry."
When I speak to Nanami, who appears in the living room, Nanami gives a Peace sign and answers with a doya face.
"I'm really curious about what you said to her, but if Nanami says so, I'll believe it."
"As expected of you, Onii-chan. You know me very well."
When I look at Nanami with a smile and stroke her head, Nanami puts her hands on her hips and leans back slightly with pride.
"Of course I do. You're my cute little sister."
I am three years apart from Nanami. I've been watching her ever since I could remember.
There's no way I can't understand something like this, and what my cute little sister says is justice. She's worthy of unconditional trust.
"Even if you praise me so much, nothing will come out!!"
Nanami's body shakes and her cheeks blush at my words. She seems happy to be praised. It's strange, because when I see that face, it makes me happy too.
Afterwards Nanami, Shia, Amane, and Rei enter and sit down at the table. If you count the birthday seats, six people are sitting at a table that can seat up to eight people, and the two birthday seats are vacant.
"Why don't you sit here, Noelle?"
"Y, yes, desu."
When I offer my seat to Noelle, who is standing alone, she timidly sits down.
What did they do that she's so frightened?
It felt like everyone's magical powers had risen just before, but I wonder if that has something to do with it.
Well, it would be uncouth for me to ask about it, so let's not step in.
"Even so, it really is going to be an all-girls party other than Fuhito."
It is my mother who starts the conversation. I remember her telling this story before when we first got together at home.
"I'm not particularly doing anything."
I don't think there's a single person that I've invited to join my party.
It started when Shia forced me to form a party with the fact that I was exploring the Shushima Dungeon, Amane said she wanted to join on her own, Nanami is my younger sister, and even though I wanted Rei to join, in the end, it was Rei who called out to us because we were acquaintances.
And even when it comes to Noelle, I was the one who took the brunt of the request to help her, and she arbitrarily recognized me as a Hero and rushed over.
I really haven't done anything.
"It's in that way that you resemble that person. Girls come together by chance. It shouldn't have been like that when you were little, but when did it become like that ..."
"Even if you say that, I don't know about my father's circumstances with girls. I don't want to hear it."
"Haa ... That's right ..."
I can't help but make an indescribable expression at my mother's astonished expression, perhaps because she remembers the time when my father was still alive. Mother probably understood that too, and she shrugs her shoulders and lets out a light sigh.
"Ah, this is about the party members, but Kanon-san is currently on hold. It will be decided depending on her attitude and actions from now on, so please treat us favorably!!"
Nanami tells me about Noelle's treatment as if she just remembered when she heard what mother said.
"Do you, yourself, agree?"
"Yes, desu. I'm so sorry that I got too excited at that time, desu. Fu, Fuhito-san, I really caused a lot of trouble for you, desu."
When I turn my gaze to Noelle, she bows her head apologetically and apologizes.
"It would be nice if you could reflect on yourself. You don't have to force yourself to change how you call me. Please call me in a way that you can easily call me."
Nanami and the others told her to change the way she calls me, but it seems like it's really hard to say my name.
I can't help but feel remorseful, and since it was something I had agreed to once, I tell her to continue to call me as such.
"U, umm ..."
Noelle timidly looks at Nanami, waiting for her reaction.
"Haa ... You're really sweet, Onii-chan. If Onii-chan is okay with it, that's fine."
"I understand, desu. Thank you, desu."
Nanami gives permission to Noelle after making a face that it can't be helped, and Noelle smiles a little happily and bows her head deeply.
It seems that a hierarchical relationship has been established.
"Yes, yes, let's stop talking about that and eat. Everyone, please eat."
My mother, who seems embarrassed to watch, claps her hands and interrupts the conversation.
She quickly arranges the dishes that had already been prepared, and Nanami and the others help quickly arrange them on the table.
"See you tomorrow."
"Nn."
"I'm really sorry for everything until now, desu."
After sending the other ones home and saying goodbye to the two in front of the boys' dormitory, Noelle bows deeply to me with a look of deep remorse.
"Don't worry about it. I won't say anything about it, but please be careful from now on. And that's that."
"Yes!! From now on, I'll be careful not to cause any trouble, desu. Well then, see you tomorrow."
I stare at Noelle as though I am looking at a troublesome little sister and say that, and Noelle responds with a salute-like pose and follows Shia towards the girls' dormitory.
"Now, what will happen ..."
After seeing them off, I look up at the sky. The moon is shining quietly there, as if watching over us.
