After the incident of killing Freyja, Nakano Yu returned to Tokyo with his group on the same day he woke up.
It wasn't because of anything major, but because after the battle of killing a god, the natives of the Faroe Islands regarded him as a god, even though he killed Freyja whom those people worshipped.
According to what Nakano Maruo heard, those people believed that Freyja was already dead and that it was useless to worship her anymore; it was better to turn to worshipping Nakano Yu, who was still alive.
Nakano Yu could only say that their mental state was fascinating, but again, for ordinary people in this world, the appearance of beings that were not gods would only bring them disaster.
However, as soon as he returned home, Ichika came to find him:
"Yu!! Hurry, come downstairs and see!"
Nakano Yu, who returned to his room to change clothes and take a shower, looked at Ichika who barged in without knocking and was speechless for a moment.
"Ichika, what did I say last time?"
After getting dressed, Nakano Yu looked at Ichika and said irritably.
"Oh! Yu, don't worry about that now, hurry and come downstairs with me!"
Ichika was still excited, without any shame. As she spoke, she took a step forward, grabbed Nakano Yu's hand and pulled the young man downstairs without explanation.
"Hm? This excited, could it be that that current love teaser has already been released?"
Seeing Ichika like that, Nakano Yu roughly guessed what it was about, but wasn't it a bit too fast?
It had only been a few days since filming that love teaser, had it really already been released?
"In any case, Yu, just come downstairs with me!"
Ichika didn't explain much, only urging Nakano Yu to go down with her.
Helpless, Nakano Yu had no choice but to follow her downstairs. Just as the two of them stepped out of the room, the door of Nakano Yu's room, which had endured Ichika's powerful palm, fell to the ground with a "bang".
"…I, I was holding back my strength…"
The movement behind her made Ichika stop. She looked at the destroyed door of Nakano Yu's room, then at Nakano Yu with a strange expression, scratched her head and said somewhat awkwardly.
"Forget it, it's still early today anyway. I'll find someone to fix it later."
With a helpless sigh, Nakano Yu looked at Ichika and did not want to get angry at her over the door. After saying that, he followed Ichika downstairs.
"What are you doing…?"
As soon as he came down, Nakano Yu saw all four sisters sitting on the sofa, quietly watching TV, as if waiting for him and Ichika.
"Oh, we're watching Yu and Ichika's documentary Love Metronome. It aired last night during prime time, and this is just a rerun."
Drinking her black tea, Nino glanced at Nakano Yu and said gloomily. She simply couldn't understand it. She and Yu were the first to get together. It was bad enough that Ichika and Miku "took" Yu first, but how could Yu also film such a… overly sweet short film with Ichika?!
Thinking about it, Nino's mood was completely unbalanced. She tightened her grip a little and the handle of the cup immediately broke. Fortunately, Miku, who was sitting beside her, reacted in time and firmly caught the cup without the handle.
"Careful, it's hot."
After placing the cup on the table in front of Nino, Miku warned her.
Hearing that, Nino's expression softened a little and she thanked her:
"Thanks, Miku."
Miku didn't respond, holding her phone, quietly looking at the online comments for the teaser short film "Current Love".
Those comments were mixed, not because the film was bad, but because it was too short, and they expressed hope to see the Nakano Yu and Ichika couple in the official filming of "Current Love".
However, Miku also found some other comments in the comment section, asking how the director planned to resolve the relationship between Nakano Yu and the other girl in the teaser.
Miku didn't know that girl, but she was really cute, and the way she confessed her love in the film didn't look acted at all.
Seeing that Miku ignored her, Nino didn't say anything more. Looking at the cup without a handle, she sighed helplessly. By the way, could the water from that cup still burn her?
Seeing Nino like that, Nakano Yu smiled and sat down. Earlier, he had to keep it a secret because of Ichika, so he never told the four sisters about it. Now that they had obviously watched the film, it meant it had probably been released earlier?
Yesterday? Or the day before yesterday?
Looking at Ichika who was adjusting the TV, Nakano Yu was somehow worried that Ichika might accidentally crush the TV with too much force.
At that moment, Yotsuba suddenly jumped out from the side and directly hung onto Nakano Yu, shaking him as she shouted:
"Yu! You hid so many things from me!!"
"I had no choice, I had to keep the secret for Ichika."
Nakano Yu explained, but Yotsuba didn't listen at all. She really thought that Nakano Yu and Ichika had gone to visit their grandfather. She even specifically called their grandfather and told him she would come stay with him for a few days later.
Wait! Grandpa!!! I can't believe that you, a seemingly honest grandpa, teamed up with Ichika and Yu to trick me!
Waaah~ Yotsuba is really sad now!
After realizing that, Yotsuba let go of him and sat beside the young man, took Itsuki's snacks from the table and started eating:
"Seriously, Yu, Ichika, even grandpa teamed up to trick my feelings."
"Yotsuba, my snacks!"
Itsuki, who had been absent-minded, thinking about something, suddenly noticed Yotsuba taking her snacks and quickly reached out to take them back. But Yotsuba grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Itsuki's mouth:
"Alright, alright, Itsuki is a good child, and good children know how to share. Let's eat together."
Hearing that, Itsuki chewed the snacks and didn't say anything more, but directed her gaze toward Nakano Yu.
She felt that she understood her younger brother less and less. First, he possessed terrifying power capable of killing gods, and also had privileges that made the four major financial groups of Yen bow to him. Besides that, he also seemed to be connected with many girls?
Was this still the same Yu who said he would protect them when they were young?
Her thoughts wandered, and Itsuki felt a slight unease in her heart. She looked at Yotsuba who was sitting close to Nakano Yu, then at Nino and Miku, and suddenly remembered Ichika's shocking confession earlier.
Could it be that that was also true?!
While Itsuki's thoughts wandered far away, Ichika finally finished adjusting the TV and excitedly returned to sit next to Nakano Yu.
And Nakano Yu also turned his attention to the TV.
"So, his name is Yu?"
In Kasumigaoka Utaha's house, the girl sat in front of her laptop, hugging her legs, looking at the confident and handsome young man on the screen, murmuring softly in confusion.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's expression was very strange. She didn't know whether it was because she learned her savior's name in this way, or because Nakano Yu recommended her book on the show, saving her from being canceled. Maybe both. In short, her current mood was very complicated.
She only found out about this after Machida Sonoko told her that the sales of "Love Metronome" had suddenly surged, so she investigated further.
Only… in this way, she owed Yu even more favors. Even now, she didn't know his full name…
Quietly closing the laptop, Kasumigaoka Utaha took a deep breath. Earlier, Yu said he was a student of which school?
It seemed to be… Sobu High School. It seemed that Sobu High School had been repaired yesterday, and classes would start tomorrow, on Monday. If she submitted a transfer application now, it would most likely not be approved until next week.
Lightly biting her lower lip, Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly thought of something. It seemed that Machida Sonoko mentioned that she had a friend who was a teacher at Sobu High School. If she asked for help, it might be approved in two or three days!
Thinking about that, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately found Machida Sonoko's number and called her.
The phone rang briefly before Machida Sonoko answered:
"Moshi moshi! My sweet Shi-chan, who is destined to be the best-selling author of this period! What can I do for you?"
Listening to Machida Sonoko's overly sweet words over the phone, Kasumigaoka Utaha's forehead was full of black lines as she held her head and said:
"Sonoko, you've been drinking again."
From Machida Sonoko's tone, Kasumigaoka Utaha concluded that she had been drinking. Although Machida Sonoko was usually like that, after spending so much time with her, she could tell.
"Eh heh~ All thanks to Shi-chan's efforts! Because of the great sales of 'Love Metronome', not only the second volume, but also the sales of the first volume have increased, so the chief editor gave me a day off!"
"I planned to go home, but on the way I met an unemployed friend, so I went to her place to drink."
Hearing that, Machida Sonoko explained, and while speaking, poured wine from the table and drank it.
"Uff~ So good!"
After a glass of cold wine, Machida Sonoko felt all the fatigue of the past few days disappear, feeling incredibly comfortable!
"Eh, Sonoko, who are you talking to on the phone, some little boy?! Hurry! Hang up!"
Opposite Machida Sonoko, a black-haired woman in a sleeveless shirt and shorts, with a flushed face, spoke and reached for the phone.
If Nakano Yu were here, he would immediately recognize this drunken woman as his homeroom teacher from Sobu High School — Hiratsuka Shizuka!
"Huh?! Shizuka, don't mess around! What little boy? This is a writer from my publishing house, a very beautiful girl. Thanks to her I got a day off today!"
Seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka reaching for the phone, Machida Sonoko dodged, avoiding her hand. After moving away, she asked Kasumigaoka Utaha the reason for the call:
"So, Shi-chan, what do you need? If you've written the third volume, just send it to my email~"
"It's not that. I remember Sonoko said earlier that she has a friend who is a teacher at Sobu High School. I want to ask her to help me transfer to Sobu High School as a visiting student."
Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't beat around the bush. She wasn't the type of woman who liked beating around the bush, and her relationship with Machida Sonoko was excellent, so she didn't bother with such things.
"Oh?"
Hearing that, Machida Sonoko turned her head toward Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was lying on the table like a rag, and said:
"Shizuka, stop pretending. I know you're not drunk. Here, they're looking for you."
Hearing that, Hiratsuka Shizuka, who had just been completely drunk, immediately straightened up. After taking the phone from Machida Sonoko's hand, she soon ended the call.
"Shizuka, I'll leave this matter to you."
Sitting back down, Machida Sonoko said. Actually, transferring as a visiting student was nothing big. It was just a request that went through multiple levels, so the process took a bit longer. Moreover, her Shi-chan had been the top student of Toyonosaki Girls' High School every year!
It could be said that transferring to Sobu High School was very simple.
"Don't worry, it's just a request. When school starts tomorrow, I'll just stick it on the principal's desk!"
Hiratsuka Shizuka waved her hand broadly, then signaled Machida Sonoko to drink with her.
At the same time, in the Tachibana house, a young girl was watching the young man on the TV screen, her eyes shining with a light called "love."
"Ah~ Yu-sama~~ We will meet soon, right!"
