“To get familiar with the Japanese culture and lifestyle, it’s best to stay with the people from that country. When I asked you, “Who do you want to live with the most within our club members?”, you did say Ise without a second thought, right?”
Oh I see, so that’s the reason. Asia is staying at Rias-buchou’s place. She's borrowing one of the rooms in the old school building that me, Buchou, and Asia goes to. “Y-Yes. I indeed said that, but……”
“It’s fine, Asia-san! Get used to Japan at our house! You might stay here permanently after all!”
Dad, you really are trying to make Asia my wife huh……
“See, even Otou-sama is saying this.”
Asia who was confused finally smiles when she sees Buchou smiling. “I understand, Buchou-san. There were things I didn’t quite understand, but I will be in your care, Ise-san, Ise-san’s Otou-sama and Okaa-sama.”
……You've been perfectly deceived, dad, mum…… Surely, the thing about my “bride” is a perfect blow to them……
Like this, it’s decided that Asia will be living with me under the same house. “……Bride, huh.”
I got very anxious at Buchou who was making a sad face at that time. Few days later since Asia started living at my house. “It’s a good weather today. Ise-san, we are playing softball for physical education today. It’s my first time, so I’m excited.”
Asia is walking towards school the school happily. I’m walking next to her. I never thought that a day will come when I will be able to walk to school every day with a beauty. The students who goes to the same school as us are looking at us with intense eyes. “Why is Asia-san walking from the same direction as Hyoudou……”
“Impossible……what’s going on……?”
“It must be some kind of mistake, not just Rias-oneesama, but even Asia-san……”
Just like that, I can hear the scream-like words from other students. Well, that’s natural. This situation will seem impossible for anyone who knows me. I, who was just an unpopular perverted student, am now suddenly getting along with the school idols. I'm also walking to school with the new blonde student every day who everyone has been talking about since her arrival. From other people’s view, this is an unbelievable situation. There were some students who confessed to Asia because they were like “If Hyoudou can, so can I!”, but they were rejected immediately. Because of that, there are those who holds a grudge against me. Even now, there are people looking at me with eyes filled with hatred. Other guys must think I’m playing around with the beauty’s body. Though, it’s not as simple as they think, but that’s okay. Fufu. This is fun in its own way. Even if it’s a misunderstanding, they think I’m popular with girls. Oh yeah! That’s it! Just get jealous of me, boys! I’m still going to rise higher! Fuhahahaha! “Was there something that looks funny?”
Oh. Asia looks at my face with a worried look. When a beauty’s face is right in front of me, it makes me blush…… Looks like I’m still young. “N-No, it’s nothing. By the way Asia, are there any problems at school? Are you getting along with other girls?”
Those are the things I’m most concerned about. A former Sister who had just transferred to our school. Since her lifestyle was far different from ours, she might feel lost in school life. At times like that, I will definitely help her, however what’s most important is for her to be supported by other girls. I think she is getting along with the girls from the Occult Research Club, but I’m concerned about her interaction with the other classmates. I don’t think she is getting bullied for not being used to this lifestyle…… But I can’t stop myself from being worried about it. Nothing like that is happening within my sight, but she might be bullied when I’m not there. However Asia makes a smile which comes from the bottom of her heart which then rejects my concern about her. “Everyone is very kind towards me. They are teaching me a lot of things so I would get familiar with Japan. I also made lots of friends. I was also invited to go shopping with them.”
That’s good to hear. Looks like her relationship with the other classmates is going well. Now, one of my concerns is gone. While talking about that, we arrive at school, and then went towards the class. Now with the problem of Asia’s school life settled, the remaining problem is—
“Asia-chan! Good morning!”
“Good morning, Asia-san. Your blonde hair is shining today as well.”
As soon as we arrive in the class, the bald headed guy Matsuda, and the guy wearing glasses Motohama, approaches Asia. These two are my pals. They are famous for being perverted, along with me. “Good morning Matsuda-san, Motohama-san.”
The two of them gets emotional after getting greeted by Asia. “This is the thing, isn’t it, Motohama-kun?”
“That’s right, Matsuda-kun. Getting greeted by having a beauty say “Good morning” gives life to us from morning.”
……Like usual, they feel happy with minor things. But until recently I was probably the same as them. Fufufu, having this much confidence sure does change people—. PUNCH! “Gufu!”
When I was acting cool, Motohama punches me to my stomach. “W-What was that for, baldy! ?”
I argued against him but he continues to laugh and kicks me in my leg. It really hurts! What is this idiot doing!? “Hahaha. Ise-kun. I heard about it.”
“Heard what.”
“I hear that you walk to school with Asia-chan every day, right?”
“W-What about it?”
“That’s weird. Why? Why do you two come to the school from the same direction? I wonder why?”
Hmm. I don’t know where he heard it from, but it looks like he heard the rumours about me and Asia as well. I lift my lips and put on a lecherous smile. I then say it. “Listen, Matsuda, Motohama. There is a wall between me and you two which you guys definitely can’t overcome. This can’t be helped.”
“W-What are you getting all proud of! ?”
“T-That’s right, Ise. Just because you get along with Asia-chan—”
I then give a finishing blow. I also put on an expression of victory. “I live with Asia. Under one roof. Right, Asia?”
“Yes. I am being taken care of at Ise-san’s house.”
[!?] Both of them got quiet after seeing Asia answer with a smile. It looks like they are speechless. Fu. Fuhahahaha! Hahahaha! I won! I won! “It’s a lie!”
Matsuda denies it strongly. He’s even crying. They are tears of jealousy. Fuhahaha! Cry! Scream! And die! “I-Impossible…… Ise living with a blonde beauty in the same house……? That can’t be……the law of this world will collapse……”
Motohama fixes the position of his glasses with his shaking hand. He’s also trembling even though he’s desperately trying to act calm. “T-Then do you even get woken up by Asia-chan in the morning! ?”
Matsuda’s question. How miserable. “Asia, looks like I made you wake me up today as well.”
“Because Ise-san is such a sleepy head. Ufufu.”
Ah, Matsuda drops on the floor. “Does she even refill the plates for you……?”
This time, Motohama asks.
