Chapter 14: Alcohol

Himari came back with the textbook.

“Thanks for waiting!　– “Huh?　Where’s Shino?”

“Yeah, I guess I was too creepy for her, so she ran off to her room.”

“Hahahaha!　What’s that!　But that’s good!　She’s so annoying!　She’s always trying to show off her feminine side!”

It was only after living in this house that I realized that neither Sakurako-sensei nor Himari could cook at all. Sensei can’t even clean or wash her own clothes.

Once, at Shino’s suggestion, I took a peek at her room, but it was so disorganized that I thought she was keeping a gorilla inside.

I was very shocked, as I had a little bit of admiration for Sakurako-sensei.

By the way, they showed me their rooms, and Himari’s room was very cute.

I was expecting it to be more boyish, but it was more girlish, with stuffed animals on the bed.

What I didn’t expect was Shino’s room, which was surprisingly plain.

She didn’t decorate her room with anything that would make her feel unique.

But Shino is the only one of the three sisters who can do housework properly.

She can cook, bake, and even sew. She is probably the most capable of the three of them.

Himari is probably annoyed by Shino’s constant attention to her.

“Are you two sisters not getting along?”

“It’s not bad!　But I can’t say it’s good either!　Sakurako is just a kid, and Shino is a bad girl.　It’s only natural that they don’t get along with me, a good, mature girl.”

I thought it was a joke, but Himari kept a straight face.

“Oh……Is that so…….”

“Right!　–What do you want to start with?”

“Let’s start with the multiplication table for the time being.”

“Ha!?　Don’t be ridiculous!　Of course I can do multiplication table!”

Himari slammed her hands down on the table with a bang.

“……7 times 8?”

“7 times 8……?　7, 14, 21, 28……”

Himari counts on her fingers.

“…… I understand. Let’s start over at the elementary school level.”

“—Wait. I just don’t have enough sugar in my brain. I just have to eat some cookies and I’ll be fine.”

I wish she could do the multiplication table, even if she’s on the verge of starvation…….

While I sighed deeply, Himari ate the cookie with a big bite.

After gulping it down, her eyes widened.

“Fifty-three!”

“How come there are prime numbers in multiplication table?”

I slammed the table.

“What’s a prime number……?　I’m still in high school.”

“I learned that in middle school!　I’m in high school too, so it’s not like I don’t know it!”

Himari said, “Ah!” She pressed her open mouth with her hand.

Seriously, was this girl …… this stupid ……?

More than 30% of the animals in Kamino Zoo are smarter than this girl.

“—-Do you understand how stupid you are?” (Sakurako)

Sakurako-sensei arrived with a bottle of Strong alcohol

I didn’t know that Sensei drank ……. I thought she was more strict than that.

“You’re annoying!　I can get married even if I can’t study!　I’ll get married before you do and before it’s too late!”

Himari smirked.

“Muu!　”Muu!　Muu!”

Sakurako-sensei’s cheeks puffed up like a squirrel that’s been overfed.

Sensei, I knew you were concerned about this. Let’s never mention the marriage thing.

Sakurako-sensei popped open a bottle of Stronger alcohol and gulped it down in one gulp.

“Ah!　Yagami, you’d better run!　Sakurako, she’s got a really bad drinking habit!”

“Eh?　Seriously?”

I look at Sakurako-sensei.

Crap. She has the same eyes as the man who used to fight with the vending machine.

“Hmm …… Soma, hold me.”

“Wait?!　Sensei!”

Sakurako-sensei hugged me. –Wow!

“Do you …… like me ……?”

Sakurako-sensei looks at me with troubled eyes. –No. Cute

{1 [“I love you!”] }

{2 [“I hate you!　Get the hell away from me, you ugly bitch!”] (Push Sakurako away.) }

Two is too devilish; I have to choose one.

“I love you!”

“Hey, Yagami!　Don’t let Sakurako get any more out of control!”

“Ehehe, I’m glad ……”

The teacher rubs her face against my chest.

What a tremendous experience for me……!　I think it’s safe to say that I’m no longer a virgin!?

“Himari, Shino and me …… If you’re going to marry, it’s going to be me, right?”

{1 [“Yes!”] }

{2 [“No, it’s Himari, who looks stupid and easy to handle!”] }

{3 [It’s Shino, who, unlike you, can do housework!] }

If I try to choose someone other than the teacher, I’ll have to disrespect someone.

Then I have to choose the teacher.

“Yes!　Teacher!”

“Yes!”

A kiss.

The teacher kissed me on the cheek. –Whoa!

“Hey, Sakurako!”

I think I might have gotten the teacher pregnant. If that happens, will I be responsible……

“I win.”

The teacher hugs me and gives Himari the peace sign.

“……That’s enough!　You’re drunk!”

Himari pulls the teacher away from me

“Shhhh!”

The teacher threatened Himari like a cat.

“‘Shino!　Shino!　Help me a little!”

Himari shouted towards Shino’s room.

Rumble. The door opened.

“…… What the hell is going on here?　What are you doing?”

Shino dashes over and joins Himari.

“Fū~tsu! Fū~tsu!”

“Wait, no!”

“This is dangerous!”

They had no choice but to run away as the teacher tried to tear out their eyeballs with her fingernails.

“I’m back, brother!　Ladies of the Rurikawa family!　I’ve bought the ingredients, so I’ll prepare dinner now… What are you exposing my brother to, you whore!”

Tsumugi drop-kicked Sensei and sent her flying.

“Tsumugi, stop!　You’re making me say, “That’s not a drop kick, that’s a ohajiki!” [TL: traditional Japanese children’s game similar to marbles, played with coin-shaped pieces made of coloured glass or plastic​]

“Hawawawa ……!　Spare me the debilitating death!　But then again, you’re my brother!　You would do a drop kick followed by a throw!　That’s my brother!”

“Sensei!　Are you okay?”

“Um……?　What?”

What a relieve, she’s okay.

I picked her up and laid her on the couch.

“Your sister is a martial artist, thank heavens…….”

“Is it possible that your family is a fighting tribe……?”

“There is a reason!　…… No. My great-grandfather told me that at the battle of Iwo Jima, he boarded an American battleship with a single sword. He regretted that he was so close to sinking their ship.”

“I think I understand why Senpai is so strong.…..”

Shino stared at me with an indescribable expression.

Author’s note:

The author has actually seen a person who had a fight with a vending machine.

It was his classmate Hayashi-kun. (He looks like a girly guy, but he is very respectful and kind to everyone.)

After the launch of his training program, he was completely inebriated and asked a vending machine on the street, “Why are you staring at me?” He was angry all the time.

He remembered it well even though he was angry, his tone was gentle.
