As promised here I bring you a short chapter, since the previous one was long. At the end of the chapter, I will explain some plans that I have regarding the history of this fic.

Raiden POV

Things happen for a reason, either by people's decisions or by something called destiny.

If someone years ago had told me that at some point, I would be having lunch with Miura, I would not believe it, after all, I planned to have the minimum of contact with some characters.

But the girl in front of me enjoying her lunch is proof that I can be wrong.

It seems that there is a greater force that pulls the strings of life, but since it is my second life, I cannot help but think that this is true, although if they asked me if you observed Miura in danger, would you stay still or would you do something? My answer is obvious, I would help her without thinking, after all, I suppose that spending several years together with a sweet little sister made my selfish attitude diminish, it does not mean that it disappeared completely, but it is not that I would stay still if something happened, it already seems that I am a typical romance character, although if another person were in the same situation, I doubt that their actions would be different from mine.

My doubts about the origin of the universe aside, I still have a hard time believing that I am having lunch with the future fire queen of Sobu High, not that I have any complaints about it, after all, it has been several days. Since I started having lunch with Miura, then you could say that part of me got used to it while the other part thinks I'm in some kind of dream.

To think that Miura was someone so fragile and vulnerable before entering Sobu High, is hard to believe, after all, one behaves according to the experiences that one gain, so relate Miura with the girl I met that day at the hospital still seems impossible. for me, but the proof that I am wrong is in front of me, so to keep trying to find a logic for this will only give me a headache, so I better put it down.

"Raiden, do you have brothers?"

Miura's question took me out of my thoughts: "I have a younger sister, she is very similar to you, except for the color of her hair." My words seemed to surprise Miura.

'' Oh, is that so?''

"I don't think I have any reason to lie to you, am I right?"

"You don't have to answer that way either," it seemed like this bothered her a bit and she started pouting, I can't deny that she looks cute while she's doing this.

"If you want, I can present it to you, it is not that I have it hidden or anything like that.''

On second thought, I would like to know how Rumi would react to Miura, after all the time in the camp in the original story, Rumi only spoke with Hachiman and Yukino, he found the other characters boring, but currently, Rumi is someone different than he should be original, I have no complaints about it, after all, what kind of brother wouldn't care about his younger sister's future.

''Can I go to your house?'' Miura's voice sounds excited and nervous at the same time. On second thought, didn't I just invite a girl to my house?

How stupid can I be, obviously she's nervous about it, I guess interacting most of the time in a disinterested way made me a little numb to these issues.

"If you want, it's not that I make you do it or anything like that"

I don't know why, but what I said sounded like I was trying to trick someone into coming to my house.

"If you agree with that, I have no problem." Miura for some reason seemed happy about this, I understand this girl less and less.

Before she could respond, she rang the bell that marked the end of lunchtime.

''See you at the exit Raiden'' after saying this, Miura rushed back to her classroom, she looked happy for some reason, I repeat what I thought, I don't understand Miura at all.

As we headed home, I can't help but think, because Rumi answered me in a cold way when I called her to tell her that she was bringing a girl to the house.

Flashback

It seems that I managed to get out of school before Miura, I guess I can take advantage of this to call Rumi.

If you wonder what kind of parents give their youngest daughter a cell phone, I answer that they are the same parents who almost had a heart attack when Rumi missed the time we went on a trip, to prevent it from happening They gave her a cell phone again, Of course, I had to teach him the basics to use it well.

"Oni-chan is kind of wrong, is it strange that you are calling me?" Rumi, since she's always very perceptive, it's even a little scary, or she's just using logic and I'm overthinking it.

''Are you home already?''

"I've been here a while, is something wrong?''

"No, nothing, just that a friend wanted to meet you, so I think about taking her home"

Several seconds passed but there was no response.

"Rumi, are you still there?"

"It seems I'm hearing wrong, could you repeat what you said?" For some reason, her tone became more serious than normal.

''I said she would bring a friend home since she wants to meet you.''

I managed to hear some murmurs but couldn't understand them.

"Okay, you can bring her, after all this is your home too" "After saying this, Rumi cut off the call.

End of Flashback

I guess it's nothing serious, I'm overthinking it.

"Raiden, how long is it?"

''We are already close''

After a few more minutes we finally arrived, Miura looked exhausted, not that she was too far away, was she? After all, it only took me 20 minutes to walk and 10 to run.

''Is this your house? I imagined it smaller"

"I apologize, Your Majesty, that this humble servant could not live in a more humble house," I said in a sarcastic tone. After spending several days with Miura, I can't help but be more confident, after all, she doesn't like it being too formal.

"My mistake, will we stay here, or will you invite me in?"

''I feel comfortable right now so I wouldn't mind staying here'' after saying this I felt a blow on my arm, it seems that it became a habit that every time I win a conversation with Miura, she hits me, not me? I don't understand anything about this girl.

"I understand, so much violence is not necessary."

I proceeded to open the doors, after which I was greeted by a ball of black hair.

"Kuro, did you miss me?" I missed you too"

I was ignored by Kuro since he seemed more interested in the visit than in his owner, you hurt the heart of your owner, Kuro.

"So, this is your pet huh, she looks really cute," Miura said as she started to pet my cat.

"You know what they say, pets look like their owners"

"I guess it doesn't apply to this case, does it?" Miura looked quite happy after saying this as if it was revenge for what I said earlier, I definitely cannot relate Miura to the girl I met for the first time.

''I understand. I understand, you can sit on the couch while I bring something to drink.''

With that said, Miura and Kuro went to the couch.

"Miura, are you okay with some tea, or would you like some water?"

There was no answer, this girl can sometimes be a headache.

"Yumiko, are you okay with some tea or water?"

"I'm fine with some water"

After Miura calmed down, I went to call Rumi.

"Rumi, can you come down? I want you to meet someone"

A moment later I could hear Rumi coming down the stairs.

Miura seemed excited to meet my sister for some reason.

After Rumi reached the room, she looked at Miura with a somewhat defiant look.

"I'm Tsurumi Rumi, nice to meet you", her words were quite serious, I can't understand the reason for her attitude.

"Nice to meet you Rumi-chan, I'm Miura Yumiko, but you can call me Yumiko"

"I'm sure I didn't give you the confidence to call me by my first name." Her words seemed to discourage Miura. Something is wrong with her, I know she can be a bit blunt and serious, but that's not how she normally behaves.

"Rumi, that was rude, wasn't it? Yumiko was just trying to be nice." For some reason, her attitude started to bother me.

"Oni-chan can you shut up for a minute, I'm talking to Miura-san." She had never seen Rumi behave like this. She must have a reason for behaving that way, so I will choose to watch this situation unfold.

"Answer me something Miura-san, what is the relationship you have with my brother?"

After hearing this, Miura seemed to regain the confidence that he had lost.

"Raiden and I are friends."

And how can you prove that exactly?

"I do not understand your question." I agreed with Miura, what exactly did Rumi mean by showing friendship?

"Let me put it simpler, how do I know you are not using my brother?"

"I think I'm old enough to choose my friends, Rumi." After saying this, I could see how Rumi was looking at me like she was telling me to shut up.

Miura looked thoughtful as if she was choosing her next words very carefully.

"If you think that I associate with Raiden for convenience or things like that, let me tell you that you are very wrong, after all, I could not do that. Raiden is a special person to me, he is someone who helped me when I had problems, someone who helped and advised even though I never asked, someone I enjoy talking to, someone I would be determined to help even if I didn't ask for help''

I was surprised by Miura's words, I think she thinks too much of me, although I will not deny that I enjoy the hours we have lunch together or when we talk while we go to her house.

These words seemed to cheer Rumi, she had a smile on her face, something she hadn't been since we arrived.

"You are approved" Rumi said in the tone that she normally speaks with.

''Was it some kind of test?'' Miura asked, I also thought about it, what was the need for Rumi to test Miura?

"Knowing how clueless my brother can be, I could end up being used by other people for their convenience, so I wanted to test you to see if you were someone who wouldn't take advantage of my brother."

A part of me felt happy for these words, after all, Rumi cares about me, while on the other hand I felt insulted, it is not that I am someone who can be easily fooled, nor is it someone who is intimidated nor nothing alike.

"Rumi, your oni-chan is not someone who can be easily fooled, after all, your brother is someone wise and very trustworthy," I said it intending to show that he is wrong in thinking that I am someone weak and disoriented.

Rumi motioned for me to kneel.

After kneeling, she started patting my head like some kind of animal. "Of course, you are someone trustworthy oni-chan, you are someone wise and responsible." She could feel the sarcasm in her words as if she thought I was innocent and naive.

Rumi-chan, your words hurt your brother's heart, but I guess I can't deny it, after all in his eyes I'm just a clumsy brother who has already hurt himself several times. I guess he should start to improve the way he sees me.

While all of this was happening, Miura watched silently, as if she was waiting for the right moment to speak.

"I can tell you that you get along very well, although it is wrong that you make your little sister worry about you, Raiden-kun." There was nothing but mockery in the way Miura said this.

Give me a break, please.

"I'd like to apologize if I sounded really rude at first, as I didn't know what your intentions were with my brother, but now that I know, I can be more at ease." Rumi's words sounded sincere as if she wanted to do this every time, she wanted to bring someone home, not that she had many friends to bring.

"Don't worry, I see that you care about your brother, after all, I know that Raiden can be a bit stupid sometimes, by the way, can I call you Rumi-chan?''

"I'm fine with it, Yumiko-san"

This put Miura in a good mood as if she had achieved some specific goal, I don't understand this girl at all.

After Rumi's little test we spent the rest of the afternoon watching some movies, while Rumi and Miura took the opportunity to chat as if they were friends who had not seen each other in a long time. They seemed to get along well; it even seemed a bit scary how quickly they became friends.

Seeing that it was getting late, I decided to accompany Miura to her house, after all, she would not let her go alone right now.

"Yumiko-san, will you come back another time?" Rumi seemed to enjoy Miura's company, so it was normal that he wanted to see her again.

"As long as Raiden agrees, I don't see any problem, my parents come at night after all, so I suppose I could come a few times."

"Don't worry about Oni-chan, you can come whenever you want, you are welcome on any occasion, I think my parents would be happy that my brother has a friend as beautiful as you"

Rumi's words made Miura start to blush for some reason.

"See you later, Rumi-chan." Both girls seemed happy after their little goodbye exchange of words.

"Oni-chan, I suppose you will accompany Yumiko-san to her house, after all, I don't think you will let her go alone so late."

"I was going to do it even if you didn't tell me anyway."

After leaving my house, we decided to take a train to Yumiko's residence, after all, it was already late so it could be dangerous for two 15-year-old students to walk at this time, of course, nothing would happen because the first one I tried to do. Something would end in a sorry state, after leaving the station we walked for a few minutes until we reached Miura's house, after saying goodbye I decided to walk back, after all, I enjoy the walk since I can be in my thoughts.

Although the day did not go as expected, I cannot deny that I did not enjoy it, I am happy for Rumi and Miura, I never thought they would get along so well, I guess having a similar personality helped a lot.

With these thoughts, I continued my way home.

SkyChaser17: It is literally like you have guessed some things that I had planned. For this chapter, I'm using a Google extension called Grammarly, so if there are any errors, it's the xD app's fault.

Dantrlan: At first, I also thought that Yumiko's hair color was blonde and that she would dye it brown, but there would be a lot of problems regarding that decision as her grandmother would have tried to intervene and there could have been intervention from her parents. so, I decided to leave it brown. Thanks for the support and the words, I am happy to read his comments.

Godzilla in Glasses: If I made you shed a few tears I guess I did the grandma part quite emotional, I'm glad about that.

Guest: I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the support

Devin Devin: HAHAHAHA, you should have finished reading the chapter, although I suppose I would have done the same xD

Fernando917: When Totsuka appears, even Raiden will doubt his sexual orientation xD.

Regarding the path that the story will take, I wanted to clarify some issues in themselves.

Second-year, which is where the canon of history begins, there is still a long way to go, how I could not say, but I can comment on how I have planned it up to that moment.

In the next chapter the Kawasaki arc already begins, I guess it will be 3 to 4 chapters at most, after that there are 3 chapters of daily life and Raiden's entrance to Sobu High.

Now as far as getting into Sobu, it will be 2 to 3 chapters of how some things happen and then it is a 6-month time jump where some characters will appear, I plan to do the first year in a maximum of 10 episodes, since here there will be some big decisions that will change various things in canon so I'd like to devote as much attention as possible to that, of course, there will be various interactions with the characters, I won't specify who they are as I haven't. planned XD yet. I would like to clarify that Hachiman will make an appearance as he is in the story, in the second year, although I can anticipate that the first thought that he will have about Raiden is that he is very scary, what could Hachiman have observed to reach that conclusion? It's a mystery.

If you wonder how old Rumi is, currently Raiden is 6 years older, but by learning various things about Raiden it can be said that his attitude and thoughts changed a lot, this is mentioned in a previous chapter.

I plan to rewrite chapter 1, as when I reread it too forced, Raiden seems to be more like a machine than a human being.

See you.
