Chapter 5: Unrest

(Hachiman's bedroom)

As I opened my mailbox, I found that they actually sent me a picture as a birthday present.

As for details.

Let's introduce you our supreme tier little sister who you've been wonder what does she look like for ages; Sanshokuin Sumireko.

Since she would be very busy spending time with her beloved jerky unkind horrible Hyde now and then so this could probably your only chance to feast your eyes on her, y'know?

But make sure you're not go and jerking off over her picture, got it?

Anyway, happy late birthday Hachiman.

The hell is that pre-last part for?!

As I scrolled down to take a look at the picture of their little sister which they're so proud of, my jaw dropped.

Do Charmians exist for real?

It's a picture of a girl around my age cladded in white dress. Her hair looks smooth and slightly long as it reached past her shoulders. Her blue eyes were beautiful. Her nose was slender and high. Her small lips were eye-catching, and then her huge rack that exceeded Yuigahama's and probably Haruno-san's as well.

Even though Yukinoshita sisters' beauties are on the breathtaking levels, I still think that this girl's is still above them both.

It's more like seeing the result of fusion dance between Yukinoshita sisters after all (which I highly hope that doesn't apply to her personality as well).

Now I think I can understand a bit more of a reason why those two are capable of acting so indifferent and unfazed toward Yukinoshita sisters, something that normal people aren't capable of.

Having a sister this beautiful would make you immune to other girls by default after all.

Indeed. Her beauty is enough to make porn magazines become a pile of worthless papers after all.

I don't need your opinion right now!

Seriously, can't I have any privacy in my mind?

But I can't bring myself to jealous of them. After all, her supreme beauty still couldn't overwrite my archangel Tots— I mean Komachi, yeah my little angel Komachi.

Thanks a lot for the present. I'm greatly appreciate it.

Is all I can give them back as a feedback while wiping off my saliva that leaked out of my mouth. Although there's no way I will jerking off over it, I still ended up drooling anyway.

Jesus. This is probably the most dangerous birthday present I've received in my entire life!

Now I wonder what kind of birthday present I should give them in return.

I guess I have to go with that after all.

Your birthday present will be served tomorrow so prepare your stomach well.

I texted them back before going to bed and do my best to calm myself down.

It's going to take a long time to get that picture out of my head after all so I hope I will be able to wake up on time tomorrow.

(Narrator POV, Sanshokuin Hachiju's room)

Sanshokuin Hachiju is currently in the middle of doing his calligraphy to test his calligraphy skill.

"The font style become weirder than usual. Look like I really forced myself to communicate too much today." complained Hachiju.

*Knock knock* Someone knock the door.

"Come in." said Hachiju.

After hearing his brother's approval, Hassen entered the room with two cups of warm cocoa in his hand.

It's a rule of Sanshokuin brothers to knock the door before entering, no matter where, no matter when, in order to avoid unnecessary problems caused by barging in without any permission.

"Hachiman finally give us a reply. It's look like he appreciates it and want to give us something in return during tomorrow's lunch break." reported Hassen.

"So he likes it, eh? Although it's really uncalled for this is prove that he still not a gay. That's a relief." said Hachiju as he wrote 'Relief' on his paper.

Birthday present is more or less an excuse. To test their male cousin's manliness is the real reason they sent him the picture of their beloved little sister since they were worried that he's going to be serious about Totsuka route.

"Things getting more annoying than expected, especially that competition." said Hassen.

"I see." said Hachiju.

"Is it alright? That Yukinoshita can secure her score by rejecting every upcoming request so our score will be frozen at zero and we will end up lose. Not to mention that she could still aiming for student council president throne to get back at us." said Hassen.

"We can stop neither of those anyway, isn't that right?" said Hachiju while calmly sipped the cocoa.

"And even if she doesn't do any of that, I don't think the judge will let us be the victors even if we won fair and square." said Hassen.

"Doesn't matter. If they really do that then they're pretty much prove to Hachiman that they're nothing more than scumbags by nature who only care about victory themselves, that's all." said Hachiju as he wrote 'Prove' on another paper.

"Even if they win that way, Hachiman will distanced himself with them on his own as a result anyway, eh?" said Hassen, grinned.

"Although it's annoying but with this competition, their true nature will be revealed little by little, and when Hachiman caught a glimpse of their ill-nature he will be able to save himself before it's too late. There's no way they could win against us fair and square as long as they're not 'the genuine hope' that Hachiman always seek for." said Hachiju while calmly sipped the cocoa.

"But if they're turned out to be the genuine hope that he always seek for yet they're still lose to us in the end?" asked Hassen.

"Everything should turn out fine regardless. At that time their nature should be revealed more than enough. If they ended up backing away because of a mere stupid rule then they'll prove themselves unfit for continuing the relationship with Hachiman, or even start it with him from the very beginning. That's all it is." said Hachiju as he finished writing 'Result' on another paper.

*Bing*

While the twin brothers enjoy their conversation, someone sent them a message.

Although I understand that you're doing it for your cousin's sake but that's not a good enough reason to use my picture without my permission, especially using it that way. I hope you two already prepared for your punishment.

Sender: JoroisminebySumireko

Despite their impregnable stoic faces that even Yukinoshita Yukino's couldn't hold candles against, the twin brothers frozen and having their sweat rolled down from their cheeks.

"It's still frightening even though I saw it coming. Anything but Ouyang Xueli card please." prayed both brothers in unison.

Sumireko herself is even more capable than both of them to the point that they're more worried about whoever that she fell in love with than Sumireko herself to be exact as they apologized to him internally for bought the certain bench for her.

After both brothers finished their conversation, Hassen volunteered to clean the room immediately due to some mess from his brother's calligraphy strongly urging him to do.

After cleaning the room for a while, Hassen accidentally picking up the certain book on the bookshelf. It is a grey book with a black title that read 'Nebula Lores'.

*Giggle giggles*

Then an unknown sinister voice suddenly giggling all over the room.

Hassen can only glared at the book in his hand.

"If it weren't for you we would've been like how we were with him, Nebula Lores." said Hassen.

"Deal with it. This is the punishment we have to atone for writing such things." said Hachiju.

After saying all of that, Hassen put the book in the deepest part of the bookshelf as if to indicate that the book is somewhat dangerous.

(Hikigaya Hachiman POV, The next morning)

"What's wrong, Komachi? It's taste bad?" I asked.

"Nope. Onii-chan's special is as good as always but Komachi just have mixed feelings." replied Komachi.

Well, your face is pretty much obvious, not to mention that the fact that you didn't bring point system in that speech just reflected how annoyed you are.

"Onii-chan woke up early and preparing his special as breakfasts is one of Komachi's best five dreams. But to think that it would come true thanks to those two really ironic." said Komachi, pouted.

"O-oh." I said.

"Well, since Onii-chan actually put so much efforts in it Komachi will do her best on holding back her desires to oppress them just for today as well." said Komachi, emphasized the 'just for today' part.

You're almost cute, y'know? Almost.

(Lunch break, my lunch spot)

"MAX COFFEE curry, eh? Well thought, aren't you?" said Hachiju.

So sharp!

"I'm glad you guys like your birthday presents." I said.

Yeah. I forced myself to wake up early to cook it for them.

I know it's sound yaoi AF but it can't be help. I'm sucked at choosing birthday present after all. Even Komachi has to act like she's extremely happy when in reality it's just passable for her.

"Free foods always brimming with deliciousness, not to mention that the atmosphere is just as good. Good job, Hachiman." said Hassen.

"Why do I feel like I'm glad yet annoyed at your line in the same time?" I said.

Also, I did hope Ebina-san isn't around here since I have a feeling that she's going to put me in some serious NTR or raping yaoi fantasies if she does.

But really, I think I still have ways to go with cooking. To be honest I planned to get back at them by make them drooling over it like how they make me drooling last night with their little sister's picture.

"Miki-senpai. Sanshin-senpai. Fancy meeting you two here." said unfamiliar girl voice.

When I turned my head towards the direction where the voice came from, I spotted a girl who I'm not familiar with standing there waving at my cousins.

She has brown eyes and long dark blue hair with orange star brunette, she also wearing Sobu High School uniform with white jacket underneath it.

Judging from her outfit, she's probably a first year, not to mention that she called my cousins "Senpai".

"You're also applied to this school, huh? Oichi." said Hachiju.

"Your acquaintance?" I asked.

"Ah my bad. I didn't mean to ignore your presence so please forgive me." said the girl as she formally bowed to me apologetically.

"Eh? O-okay. Alright. Please raise your head. It's not that big of a deal anyway" I said.

What's up with this reaction?

"Thank you for forgiving me. Now let's me introduce myself, I'm Tenma Ichi or Oichi for short. A student from class 1-J as well as an acquaintance of Miki-senpai and Sanshin-senpai. Nice to meet you Hikigaya Hachiman-senpai." said the girl.

"Oh. I'm surprised you know my name." I said.

But that's probably because of what I've done during the close ceremony of cultural festival.

"Of course since you're a famous 'the villain that the cultural festival needed' after all?" said Oichi-san.

"Come again?" I asked.

I know I got myself quite the number of nasty rumors back then but I highly doubt that her description of me earlier is one of them. Maybe it's because I don't give two shits about it in the first place.

"Well, although what the majority talked about you is definitely not like what I have described earlier but I really do think that you're pretty much fit my description. It's true that what you're doing is screamed villain to people but if it weren't for your villainy act then the cultural festival would be anything but success." said Oichi-san.

"For real?" I said.

"If you're really a bad guy then you wouldn't just put up the villain acts out of blue in front of people who would spread bad rumors about you afterward, not to mention that you're not giving off any impression of a masochist either." said Oichi-san.

You know? I might be moved if it weren't for that masochist part.

"Although your actions aren't deserved respects, you also don't deserve to be treated as some scum either. That's why I really felt bad for being rude ignoring your presence earlier." said Oichi-san.

Ignoring my presence is a no go but accusing me as a villain isn't?

"Really. How did you two meet her anyway?" I asked my cousins.

"She's a little sister of my employer during middle school. Well, let's say that I'm temporarily hired for the time being until the real employee fully recovered from the accident." said Hachiju.

There's a person in this world who took you of all people to work with them, huh?

But for Hachiju to accept the offer is really out of this world.

"Since it's a job that I don't have to act friendly with my coworkers while working and I do need some money for Sumireko's birthday present anyway so I don't mind taking the job." said Hachiju.

Such a job exists? Well, I guess that because I'm not paying attention to any topic related to 'work'.

"Well, Miki-senpai's exceptional capability pique Onii-sama's interest at the same time when his employee is hospitalized so that's that. However, one day I spotted him not attending his workplace but it turned out that I mistaken his twin brother as him after the real one confirmed it and that the start of our encounter." explained Oichi-san.

"I'm surprised that you can tolerate their personalities." I said.

And why do I say something like that?

"Well, that's probably because I have never given two cents about such things like 'personality' before. To me, they're admirable. That's all it's matter in my opinion." said Oichi-san.

"Admirable, eh." I replied but with a slight sadness in my tone.

Don't get me wrong. It's not like I feeling down because they were praised while I'm not.

But the reason is… both of them, despite being gifted or good at something, they both never let themselves be proud of those for some reasons.

"How many times do we have to tell you that we don't deserve any of that?"

"I'll tell you again and again. We don't deserve that."

See?

Both Hachiju and Hassen complained at Oichi-san and she just sighed back at them before saying "there you go again."

It's not like they are masochists or anything, but they have such a dark past even before they've become what they are right now that caused them to be like that. I'm not mean to bragging about it but I myself understand that feeling the most which really makes me sad.

Hachiju always exceptional at academic related stuff while Hassen always exceptional at athletic related stuff, yet they hate it when they were praised for it which you can also say that they're the polar opposite of Yukinoshita in this kind of matter.

"What kind of business you have with me, Oichi?" asked Hachiju.

Business?

"Ara. I was seen through already. The thing is I want some advice from you." said Oichi.

Taking advice from my cousin, from Hachiju of all people. This girl is so brave.

"Actually I want to become the student council president but I don't have enough supporters so I want to know if there's a way I can either get enough supporters or participate without supporter at all." said Oichi-san.

Are you Yuigahama by chance?

"There's no way I can get you enough supporters and there's no rules that can help you participate without supporters either. So just do your best in raising your popularity for the time being then." said Hachiju.

"Giving your outer appearance it's not like it's impossible or anything." said Hassen.

"Senpais. What I'm going to participate is student council president election, not some sort of gravure idol contest!" retorted Oichi-san with displeasure.

You might be doing well as a gravure idol if you keep acting like that, y'know?

However, after a moment, Oichi-san sighed and composed herself.

"Geez. You're unlovable. I'm counting on you then, Senpais." said Oichi-san with somewhat a bright smile.

"Just leaving already." said Hachiju, sighed.

"Roger." said Oichi-san as she left.

After that, I could hear Hachiju softly mutter "that cheeky brat".

What's up with that girl really?

"You have to work up on your ability to read between the line more if you want to understand." said Hachiju.

Just how many times you have to invade my privacy thought?!

(Clubroom)

The distance between clubmates in this club, between male and female members to be exact, are now distant than ever.

Even though there's still no incoming requests yet, my cousins and my female clubmates are already engaged in fight.

It's Yukinoshita who started it today.

At first it's more like her daily insults towards me has shifted towards my cousins instead. However, unlike me, my cousins are quite savage as a contrast to their stoic faces.

You can tell that Yukinoshita has a lot of disadvantage toward them even with Yuigahama's supports which I don't think would help much.

And why did I narrated all of this as if it isn't my problem?

Well, as you know how prideful Yukinoshita is, after throwing my cousins her insults, Hassen just calmly feeding Kazumi and Futami while Hachiju helped me out with my homework and gloated her in response.

He says something like 'So this is all you've got when your opponent isn't Hachiman. Without his assistant, you're just all bark' to her after his retort.

Although anyone could see it coming that this is a trap but the prideful Yukinoshita just set her feet in it anyway as she demanded me not to interfere which is what Hachiju aiming for.

Due to lacking knowledge of my cousins and her own moves are too predictable to her opponent, not to mention that the number of her opponent is two and Yuigahama isn't that much of a help to her, Yukinoshita being easily cornered several times and her frustration started to leak out on her face more and more while her opponent still as calm as stream.

Can't blame her since no matter what kind of insult topic she brought up, my cousins (mostly Hachiju) can lead it to another topic where they could point out more of her inferiority complex and any other flaws she has. Not to mention that she's either addressed as 'Rich girl' or 'Yukinoshita Haruno's little sister' by them almost the time.

"They say you will eventually win if you're not giving up until the very end, so everyone will grasp hold of victory if they're not giving up and keep fighting. However, in reality, that only applies to those who's not letting their loss stayed as loss and will try harder next time, not to those who's not giving up simply because being seen as a victor is an absolute must and always stubbornly denying your loss."

"This is what a real fight is. It's nothing like some pointless games that you've won up until now either through fair plays or because your opponent give in to your stubbornness."

After Hachiju and Hassen uttered those speeches, Yukinoshita can only bit her lips in frustration as if she's been hammered.

As of right now I have to count on Yuigahama to comfort her since Yukinoshita herself banned me from interfering.

Now you might wonder why I heed to her command, right? If I stopped them like yesterday, things might turned out better.

Call me like some cruel bastard if you want after hearing me out, rather than heed to her command or prioritize my homework over her, I took the role of the bystander to begin with to see how much resolve Yukinoshita has for dare to pick a fight with guys who drove her to tear yesterday on her own which I already know that she's going to lose anyway.

As long as she couldn't figure out what kind of people these two really are, she couldn't win against them.

*Rattle*

The door is swung opened without any signaling knocks, if it's not my doing then it has to be her.

"Sorry to interrupt. Eh? What's happened?" said Hiratsuka-sensei and then confused.

As I thought, but if it is this woman who came here it must because she has some works (or tortures for me) for us for sure.

"Nothing special. By the way, what help do you need?" I asked.

Hearing that, Hiratsuka-sensei moved out from the entrance.

"I guess it's okay for us to come in. Then sorry to interrupt." said somebody behind the entrance.

The two figures who just entered the room appeared to be the student council president Shiromeguri-senpai and a cute kouhai-like teenage girl with shoulder-length bobbed brown hair and light brown/honey eyes and wears the Sobu High uniform with a light pink cardigan.

I have a bad feeling about this.
