I'm so sorry for not updating. I am going through a stressful time, and just couldn't seem to find the urge to write. Thank you all for your patience and the lovely reviews you left, I feel really guilty thinking that I might have disappointed you guys for not updating.


Although Usami seemed to be annoyed by her brothers most of the times, she finds herself easily caught up to their pace. No matter how troublesome things seem for her in the end she ends up agreeing because of her brothers' persistence.

However that wasn't going to be the case today.

Or so she hopes.

"Give me a reason why I should comply."

"Because I'm your beloved brother and I'm asking you nicely?"

"That's not a reason. Why would you need a manager only now? You are going to graduate next summer." Usami tried to reason her way out, but she secretly knew that logic doesn't apply to her brother.

"That's why I need someone to keep an eye on the club for me!" Seijuro insisted causing Usami to twitch her eyes in irritation.

She hates doing unnecessary things the most. So she is defiantly going to boycott this job without a doubt.


"YOU ACTUALLY GOT US A FEMALE MANAGER?!"

The uproar echoed through the pool as the members gathered around their Captain and his sister. In the end she still ended up here. Although she comments that her brothers act stupid and dorky, when it comes to her weak points, they know her like an open book.

"Of course I won't let you work for free!" Seijuro said, "I will buy you the limited game you wanted for so long for Christmas!"

That's playing dirty!

"...fine..." Usami buried her face into her palms. The offer seemed too nice to pass on.

Besides persistence, knowing how to bride her is also part of the Mikoshiba brothers' plan to get their sister to agree to their favors.

Keeping her cool she bowed to the members as she coolly and politely introduced herself. Even though she feels like she has been thrown into a cage of hungry wolfs.

"I'm Mikoshiba Usami, pleased to meet you all."

"Captain's little sister?!" a members emphasized "You look way too cute to be his sister!"

"Oi! As a handsome young man. Of course my sister would be cute." Seijuro cut in, making the others laugh. Usami instantly felt better, she thought that she wouldn't like the members, but it seems like they are all a bunch of dorks even with all those muscles.

Eventually the coach seemed to have had enough and immediately ordered the members to start training. Fearful of their coach's wrath, everybody rushed to their positions, some winked and waved at Usami as they rushed by. She went up to coach, to ask if she could help with anything.

"Ah, yes. For the moment, would you please arrange the towels?" the coach instructed her politely, "Do be careful, the floor is slippery."

"Of course. I will be on my way then."

Taking the words by heart she carefully walked to the other side as she arranged the towels and folded them up one by one. Until something, or rather someone caught her eyes. She slowed her folding as she stared at the person who just came into the pool and started talking to the coach, maybe it was his maroon hair that caught her eye, or his handsome features.

She might seem emotionless most of the time, but she knew a handsome guy when she sees one.

She finally noticed that she had been staring creepily, and got flustered. As she did she almost slipped and bumped into someone, she immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, are you hurt?" Usuami asked quickly as she looked at the gray haired swimmer she had bumped into.

"No, no I'm fine!" He quickly reassured her. "I'm the one who wasn't paying attention. My name is Nitori Aiichiro, pleased to meet you!"

"Ah, pleased to meet you Nitori san." Usami replied with a small bow.

"It's nice to finally meet you in person, Mikoshiba Captain talked a lot about his siblings!" Ai started chattering away as Usami nodded attentively out of politeness, she didn't think that this boy would be such a chatterbox. She ended up finding herself staring at the maroon haired guy behind Ai, until suddenly their eyes met. Usami quickly bowed to greet him as to not make herself look like a creep, the guy awkwardly scratched his neck as nodded to greet her as well.

"Ah! Rin senpai!" Ai called out as he noticed who Usami was greeting.

Rin walked over and causally greeted Ai, who did the honors and introduced Usami. "Rin senpai, this Captain's sister, she is going to be our manager."

"Ah, I'm just trying out for today, it's not decided yet." Usami spoke out, and as if the members had ears of wolves, a sudden wave of protests voiced out. They finally settled down when the coach threatened to increase their quota. "I will think about it though." This time a short wave of cheers echoed through the pool, causing Rin to sigh in second hand embarrassment.

"In any case, it's nice to meet you. I'm Matsuoka Rin." Rin said. "Our Captain wouldn't shut up about his younger siblings."

"It's nice to meet you as well Matsuoka san." Usami replied back. If she ever finds out that Seijuro told the members any embarrassing stories about her, she will personally drown him. Now, why does the name Matsuoka sound so familiar?

Then it clicked that the girl that her brother always mentioned was also named Matsuoka. Were they related? She decided it would be rude to ask so she didn't say anything about it.


Usamai had peacefully went back to her work, after Rin dragged Ai away for practice seeing that he won't stop chattering away. She quickly finished arranging the towels before another group of people walked in again, wearing a different uniform.

She immediately recognized the blond haired Nagisa and Haru.

"Yahoo! Rin chan! We came to play!" Nagisa announced waving wildly

"Nagisa kun! We came to practice not to play!" The glasses wearing person scolded.

Usami just sighed. What is peace anyways? She defiantly didn't had that the moment she was born into the Mikoshiba family.
