February, 2017

With Noble Academy being a boarding school, Yuu has not been able to see his sisters regularly in the nearly two years since he started attending. Ai goes to a different middle school, to which she commutes from home. Rin is a grown woman with a job and a husband, and in only a few months she will have twins of her own.

And then there is the matter of Yuu's roommate, Kurosu, who has come with him to the cafe where they are meeting.

"Good day to you, ladies! Your brother has told me a great many stories, but never once did he inform me that you are such beauties." Kurosu clasps Ai's hand in his own. "Your face enchants me. By any chance, are you single?"

"Dude!"

Kurosu glances back at Yuu. "Problem?"

"That's my twin you're talking to! Our faces are the same!"

"That's true," Ai snarks. "If you'd put on a little makeup, you could look as pretty as me."

Up to this point, Rin has been playing the mature older sister, but at this she cracks and starts laughing.

"Sis, if you keep laughing like that, you're going to give birth."

"No way," Rin dismisses Yuu between chuckles. "Despite how I look, these two aren't nearly ripe enough."

Ai turns back to Kurosu. "I am single, by the way."

"You finally ditched Midorikawa?" Yuu asks approvingly.

"Keita and I were never serious about each other. Now that I've made up with my great rival, it didn't seem right to keep him tied up."

At this, Kurosu's eyes widen. "I beg your pardon, but you aren't, by any chance, a serial heartbreaker?"

"You're afraid of cute little me?" Ai replies. "I may have broken a heart or two, but this last breakup really was mutual."

"If you break one or two, or even mine, I shall not object as you don't count close to one thousand."

"Breaking so many hearts sounds like such a waste time. What would you say to ditching my siblings and hanging out somewhere?"

Kurosu stands. "Yuu is already ticked at me, so I might as well earn it. Come, let me give you the tour."

Yuu drops his forehead onto the table as Rin continues to laugh.
