That time, I realised how weak I was, so I started to train like this to get stronger. I don’t want Asia to go through that sadness ever again. And our master, Buchou, seems to be thinking about something while drinking green tea. “What’s wrong, Buchou?”
When I ask her, she comes back to her senses and makes a cough. “No, it’s nothing. More than that, it’s good timing. I decided to have it done today, so let’s head over to your house now.”
Huh? Why? My house? Good timing? What are we going to do at my house? “It’s about time that the luggage arrives.”
I will come to know what she means 10 minutes later. “……T-This is?”
My eyebrows are twitching after seeing the boxes that are placed front of the entrance of my home. What is this? These boxes don’t even have the name of the sender. I have a mysterious feeling about this. There aren’t any bombs inside them, right……? Buchou then says it to me who am making a confused face. “Now then, Ise. Carry these to the room.”
“Huh? Carry? I have to carry these to……my house! ?”
“Yes, this is Asia’s belongings. Carrying this is what a gentleman would do, right?”
A—
“This is Asia’s belongings! ?”
I’m in deep shock, but Buchou then says something even more shocking. “Yes, from today, Asia will be living in your house.”

Family meeting——. Among all the famous meetings, conferences, and assemblies of the world, it’s among the top ranks for the place of negotiations. The words of the parents, who holds the authorities, have the big factor to decide the outcome. The way we, the children, negotiate will be the key to this. But my parents who are supposed to have the authority are down on their knees when they are in front of Buchou. Maybe Buchou’s eyes, which have power which can’t be seen with their eyes, are making them act that way. “Okaa-sama, Otou-sama, because of this situation, will you allow Asia Argento to home stay here?”
Buchou gives a reckless order to my parents while saying it elegantly and cheerfully. The two of them whispers in each other's ears while staring at Asia. ……Huh, they are also looking at me. My dad makes a single cough and then asks Asia a question. “Asia……-san, was it?”
“Yes, Ise-san’s Otou-sama.”
Asia responds back with a nervous face. “O-Otou-sama…… Ku……I don’t know how to put it, but having beautiful foreign girls to call me “Otou-sama” repeatedly sure does ring a bell to my heart……in a good way.”
It seems like my dad is getting emotional. Getting called “Otou-sama” by two young beautiful girls will obviously make him happy. Even I’m confident that I will fall for it if two beautiful girls calls me “Onii-chan”
“Otou-san!”
My mum pokes my dad. My dad comes back to his senses. “A-Ahem! Even if you want to home stay, our stupid son who is an embodiment of sexual desire is also in this house. It’s unfortunate, but isn’t it better for you to stay in a house where there is a girl? If something happens, I would be too ashamed.”
This shitty dad doesn’t hold back on his own son. And embodiment of sexual desire……I feel bad because he isn’t that far off. But what my dad just said is logical, so it will be better to make her home stay in a house where there is also a girl. Even my mum is agreeing to it right beside him, saying “Yeah, that’s right”. If a beautiful blonde girl stays with me who has so much sexual desire, you won’t know what might happen. It will become a worldwide problem. My parents probably wanted to say that. But I won’t do anything! I sure don’t have any trust huh……
By the way, I haven’t told them that Asia and I are Devils, and that Asia was used by a Fallen Angel. Even if I tell them, they won’t believe me, and it’s better for my mum and dad to not get involved with a Devil. We left out lots of stuff when we explain the situation to them with things we made up included in it. Buchou doesn’t seem to be affected by my parent’s refusal and continues to negotiate with a smile. “Then how about if Asia becomes your daughter, then?”
W-What do you mean with that profound word……Buchou……? “What do you mean?”
“Otou-sama, Asia believes in Ise very much. Very much. It’s the same for me as well. Ise does lack a bit of intelligence and is very straight forward, but he is not a fool. Instead, he has such a burning soul that he would walk towards any obstacle and would try to overcome it. Both Asia and I are drawn to that part of Ise. Especially Asia. Isn’t that right, Asia?”
“Y-Yes! Ise-san saved me by risking his life. He is my life saviour. He also helps me very much at school. Even in class, he……”
Then Asia starts to explain how I’m helping her out at school every day happily while putting on a big smile. She even tells them minor things and over-exaggerates them. Uooooo……, I’m so embarrassed that I want to run away from this place. My parents are like, “Oh, our Ise did?” and “For him to be useful to others”, and they seem like they aren’t dissatisfied with what they are hearing. Well, any parent will be happy if their child is being praised. Then Buchou gives them the final push. “How about if this home stay is also a bride training, then?”
[Bride!?] What is that!? Dad, mum and I shout out very loudly. Asia is like, “?”, and is putting on a confused look. Tears. Then there are loads of tears flowing out of dad’s eyes. He then speaks while wiping his tears. “……Since Ise is like this, I was sure that I would never see my grandchildren. I was always depressed that I had to worry about Ise living by himself even after I get very old……”
What…… Otou-sama suddenly started to speak his thoughts…… Rather, what’s with that irresponsible future map that you created for your own son? My mum is wiping her tears beside him. Wait, you are crying too!? “I also thought that Ise would never get a bride. It’s because he’s Ise. The stupid son. I tried raising him so he wouldn’t become a shame in the society, but that all turned out to be a waste since he turned out this way. If I could go back to the past, I would convince my younger self. By telling myself that “Be careful since that son of yours will turn into a worthless son who hides lecherous DVD inside his plastic model box hidden in his locker”.”
Uwaaaaaa! My secret porn location! Mum knows!? My dad holds Asia’s hand. “Asia-san! He’s a worthless son like this, but can I leave him to you?”
“You are wrong……, Ise-san isn’t a worthless person. He's a very wonderful person.”
Asia doesn’t realise what my dad is getting at, and smiles. My mum, who saw that, broke down by crying out loud. What is this? What drama am I watching? “Rias-san! We will look after Asia Argento-san in this house!”
Buchou smiles after hearing dad’s approval. “Thank you very much, Otou-sama. Ise. I will leave Asia’s care to you from now on. Asia, you will be staying with Ise at his home. So make sure not to be impolite. Get along with Ise’s parents.”
“Is it really alright? Won’t it……be a burden……if I stay……?”
Buchou says it to Asia who is confused.
