"Kusuo talking to Kumio"
Enjoy~!
Well, That is Interesting…
During vacation, a weird guy came to my house looking for my brother with an inflatable whale
"Hey buddy, ready for the beach?!" the weird guy asks excitedly
I stood between mom and Kusuo
"who is that?"
"that's Nendo, my telepathy doesn't work on him"
"oh"
"K-Kusuo is this boy your friend?" mom stuttered then starts crying "oh dear my little boy finally has a friend I'm so happy"
"I thought I was her little boy"
"you still are"
"sorry girly girl me and him ain't friends" Nendo corrects her "we are best buddies!"
"oh wow"
"Oh, dear my little boy is finally getting a normal life!" mom cried
"Hey, pal I never knew you had a sister or a little brother" Nendo looks at my brother
"Oh, dear he thinks I look young enough to be Ku's sister" mom cries even more
"wait what I didn't know you were Saiki's mom" Nendo realized
Mom nods still slightly crying "guilty as charged, what brought you here big guy?"
"I wanted Saiki to come with me to the beach" Nendo responds
"that's so fun" mom squeals in delight
By the look of my brother's face, he does not want to go
Mom suddenly snapped her head towards Kusuo
"your best buddy went out of his way to ask you in person, you are going to the beach Kusuo" mom declares in a demonic voice
"oh dear"
"ah yes little Kumio is certainly going with you" mom added
"huh what?! But m- "I tried to protest
She looked at me the same way she looked at my brother
"fine" I sigh
"how troublesome"
At the beach, I met another one of Kusuo's classmates, Shun Kaido, who seemed terrified of water
"hello there small Saiki, I am the Jet-Black Wings, but I go by Shun Kaido for safety reasons!" he introduced himself "is to protect my family from an organization called Dark Reunion"
"that sounds familiar"
I blink then smirked when an idea came to mind
"don't do it"
"too late dear brother"
"ah yes the Jet-Black-Wings, I have heard so much about you!" I greeted him
"wait you have?!" he asks shocked
"well, of course, a spy always needs to know everything before infiltrating the enemy's base" I respond with a smile "my name is Kumio Saiki, nice to meet you"
He had a look of surprise and amazement on his face
"did you have to do that?"
"my imagination cannot be outdone by some 16-year-old wannabe hero"
"right sometimes I forget you are actually a child unlike him"
I grin and watch how Kaido tried to convince Nendo that he was not terrified of the water, but it is hard to believe someone who is so terrified that is crying, then somehow, he started to drown in an inch-deep water
"brother where do you find these people"
"I don't go looking for them, they find me instead"
"I'LL SAVE YOU" some loud guy runs past us and dives to save Kaido only for his shorts to slide down
"hey its Hairo" Nendo says
"another one?"
"that's Hairo the class rep"
"ah"
Hairo turns to our group while carrying Kaido like a princess
"somehow that looks nice"
"please tell me you are joking"
I let out a small laugh
"Oh, hey Nendo, hey Saiki" Hairo greets then notices me" who might you be?"
"I'm Kumio Saiki, nice to meet you" I stand up and extend my hand towards him
"nice to meet you as well" he takes my hand and gives it a strong squeeze
I hold back a wince and squeeze his hand as well while he talked to Nendo, but I guess he did not feel it then a cry for help was heard and Hairo let go
"I'LL SAVE YOU" he yelled as he ran full speed to save that person
I held my now hurting hand
"that guy is strong"
I sat back down next to Kusuo
"are you alright?"
I could hear a low contained growl coming from him
"easy tiger, I'll live"
He picks me up and places me between his legs as if to protect me from any more possible nuisances that may hurt me then takes out a book, places his chin on my head and starts reading
"really brother?"
"I can't believe he does that job for free in this heat" Nendo comments then turns towards us "when are you gonna get in the water buddy? How about you little buddy?"
I look ahead beyond my brother's book towards the ocean and pout slightly looking up at my brother
"I wanna get in the water" I mumble
"Weren't you trying to get out of coming earlier?"
I scratch my cheek looking away embarrassed "well that was then, this is now"
"good grief, fine but be careful"
I grin "yes brother~!"
He lets me get up and I run to the water leaving Nendo behind. I stay by the shallows so that I do not run into the possibility of drowning and watch Nendo give up on trying to get my brother to get in the water then goes to try to pick up girls but all they did was run away.
"ouch, Nendo maybe if you change your hair, you could have a chance"
"I don't think even with a change of hair he can get a girl"
I look to where my brother is supposed to be at, but he is not there
"where did you go?"
"sea floor, I don't want to be seen with him"
I hummed in understanding. It would be nice if I could go with him, but I cannot hold my breath long enough to reach the sea floor, so I rather not try. Suddenly I started hearing a commotion by the shore then Nendo and surprisingly Kaido swimming towards something. I turn around to see that something is a someone who is drowning, is one of the girls that Nendo was trying to flirt with.
"oh"
I look back at the boys and now Nendo is carrying Kaido
"wasn't he swimming earlier?" I mumbled to myself
Nendo reached the girl, who was already sinking and managed to grab her when Hairo showed up.
"well then"
Then Hairo started sinking
"Oh, come on!"
Nendo started swimming towards the shore carrying now three people, he suddenly started sinking due to all the weight he was carrying
"oh crap, brother!" I shouted
Suddenly Nendo was standing on the water. I took a deep breath and went underwater, I saw the blurry figure of my brother holding Nendo up
"that makes more sense"
They reached the shore
"well that was interesting"
The sun was setting by the time the girl woke up, before that, I was diving under the water by the shore looking for seashells for mom.
"time to go"
Kusuo was waiting for me outside with a towel. I ran towards him and showed him the seashells I found
"do you think mom will like them?" I asked a bit worried at the fact that maybe I wasted my time looking for them
"yes, she will"
I smile widely, happy about taking my time in selecting the prettiest seashells. Kusuo wrapped the towel around me then we walked back to where our things were. I carefully got the seashells in a back and put them away inside my bag then started to dry myself while Nendo talked to the girl. I dried my hair last
"little buddy looks like the runt now" Nendo says appearing out of nowhere
"the runt?" I question
"he means Kaido"
"oooooh"
"who wouldn't want to look like the famous Jet-Black-Wings?" I answer while wrapping the towel around me again
"the tiny spy is correct, who wouldn't want to look like me?" Kaido agrees while petting my head
"he may have a hero complex, but he is a good guy"
On our way home I carefully started making a seashell bracelet for mom and I guess I fell asleep because I woke up in bed wearing the puppy onesie that mom got me for my birthday last year with the excuse that I would look adorable in it.
"not gonna lie, it's comfortable"
I look beside me and see the bracelet finished
"did I finish it before I fell asleep?
I shake my head and sit up
"no, I barely even started it before I began nodding off so did brother finish it?"
I get up from my bed with the bracelet in hand and go downstairs to see mom serving dinner
"oh, my little Kumio is awake, did you have fun at the beach with Ku and his friends" she asked with a smile
"surprisingly yes I did and um" I blush slightly and give her the bracelet without looking at her" for you…"
"tsundere much?"
"Oh, hush I don't want to hear that coming from you brother"
Mom gasped then squealed and hugged me tightly making me blush even more. She gushed over how cute the bracelet was and how precious I was for giving it to her.
"Oh, thank you brother, for finishing it for me"
"you owe me"
I giggle
"of course."
