I do own the title of this chapter to the requester of this fic. Thanks for that. This time, we're handling a certain person coming over. I wonder how it will go on this fic.
We're going to handle something I have done for a bit now. This time, I can't skip.
Thanks for the reviews and support so far.
Now for the guest review.
Sev on chapter 7 on the 09/08/2020
If you don't know what I am talking about, I am not going to. I am not dragging views in my works of fiction.
Just surf around and you'll find out.
Started on 23/08/2020.

"So you're really the only guy, Ichika?" Dan Gotanda was focused on the computer screen while he was playing the game. Unlike most times, it wasn't Ichika sitting next to him. The fact that he could even be focused on it was incredible.
Madoka was also focused on the screen while the two were gaming.
"Nope. Mattheus is the other guy. Cool one. But he didn't want to come along." The youngest twin answered while she was sneaking glances.
"Cool in the same way that he likes the same noise as she does. Seriously, he is one bad influence on my little sister." Ichika wasn't paying attention. Dan had bought some new manga. The last Volumes of Goblin Slayer were awesome.
"Fuck you, Ichi-nii."
"I'm not into that," Ichika answered back with a grin.
"So a metalhead?" Madoka nodded while she was delivering huge combos on Dan. It wasn't easy for him. During that one year in the lab, she had learned some impressive gaming. She kept good stuff around for that and learned quickly how to improve on her games.
She was getting better at it.
"So no admission tickets, yet?" Ichika snorted when he heard that question.
"Not really no. And with Rin around, things get even crazier." Dan couldn't deny that fact. Rin had a screw loose. He had also seen the match going on and the whole crazy show. Impressive it was indeed and yet, he couldn't see the twins in a different light. They were still the two troublemakers that he met at school.
The brother that was his best friend.
And the girl he fell in love with.
"That Rin, huh? Really." The door was kicked open and there stood Ran. Dressed in overly light clothes, the stuff nearly hung from her. Even if Dan didn't tell her, Madoka disapproved of the clothes.
"Onii. The lunch is ready. Just come down. and." Only then did Ran noticed that the two were sitting next to her brother.
Dressed in a cut short jeans that were open and a shirt that did little to hide her body although much of it wasn't around, she just looked down on it.
"Ichika-san. Madoka-san." The boy waved from the bed at the young lady. "Hey, Ran. Been a while."
Madoka just nodded at her while looking up and down the clothing. That was the bad point. At least Dan had some decency. Dressed casual and comfortable. Sure. But compared to Ran who was dressed slouchy, he was better.
"Oh my. I had no idea you were coming." The guy just smiled at her.
"We had some time off. So we decided to visit." Ichika smiled at her while Dan just shared a look with Madoka.
Turning to his sister, he decided to really piss on her shoes. With a smirk, he just laughed at her.
"Ran. Can't you at least knock before you enter? Now, they'll think you'll have no shame." The woman clenched a fist while she glared at her brother.
"Why didn't you tell me that they were coming?" She had a clenched fist while she glared at him. He tensed up but felt a comforting hand on his shoulder. Madoka had a sweet smile on her face while she looked at Ran.
"My, Ran. Are those normal clothes to wear? I suppose that you're not too conscious about that. Not that it really matters if you foregone underwear." That was one painful point. One thing that Madoka often used to rile Rin and Ran up during the time.
While she herself wasn't the biggest set of assets, she had an example. Chifuyu had often said that she was a late bloomer.
Ran just glared at them. "Shut up, creepy one. Don't get so close to Onii. It's creepy." With a confident smile and a heart that played like crazy, Madoka draped an arm around Dan. The guy turned to the color of his hair.
"At least, he is dressed properly. Unlike you. Runt." The woman ran off like mad while Ichika shook his head.
"I'll calm her down. I'll see you two downstairs. If you go rocking, I'll come knocking." Dan smiled at Madoka and he returned her the hug.
"Thank you." He said relieved. "That woman drives me crazy."
"Your granddad giving you a hard time?" The male nodded and he laid back. "Dad still isn't home. If he is, granddad shuts up."
"But with Ran, he dotes on her. No fair." Madoka smiled and shrugged at him. "Most grandparents do. But be happy you have them."
Dan nodded as Madoka laughed at him. "I do agree on that. Mom also holds him back. But let's go down now. I am starving."
"I wore you out too much?" She laughed at him and that smile was something that was bad for his heart.
"I would prefer it in a different way." The two realized what he said and Ichika groaned when he was sitting downstairs. He really didn't want to have those kinds of thoughts about his best friend.
Not that he found it too bad. At least, when his sister would have love, she would find it in a guy that he could trust and approve off. His stomach grumbled and rumbled when the smells hit him. The man might be one hardass but his cooking was the best he ever had.
Walking down, he began to think about some bits. Ran acted differently around him compared to the times when his sister or her brother were around.
It wasn't an unfamiliar experience. She was much like Rin or Cecilia in that regard. Only that she acted this jumpy around him. The others were acting the same way compared to his little sister. Madoka really was something. Ever since she had beaten Cecilia, it was clear as day that she was out for a fight.
He couldn't wrap his head around it. Ichika should have a talk with an adult on that. Problem was that he was out of options in that regard. Not that there were many, to begin with.
His big sister would just laugh at him. From what he guessed, Maya wasn't an option either.
With a smirk, he thought of his first option. Mattheus should help him out. Not that the older guy would mind. Ichika wouldn't press Ran now.
In the kitchen, he found Ran dressed in an apron. "Hey."
"Hello, Ichika-san. Please make yourself at home." Before long, Madoka and Dan came down, chatting about the stuff and all they have done so far.
"It took you long enough." The gruff voice of his grandfather got a chill down his spine.
"Well, we were in discussion. It's rude to drag that in public." It had taken his dad years to stand up to the old fart. All that talk about traditional stuff was bullshit. If you progressed, you didn't do that half-assed.
Sitting down, the three chatted while Ran stood by while Ichika gave her a smile. It might have caused her to go in overdrive. Ren just shook his head. Both his grandchildren were in love with those fools. He was quicker on the uptake.
But to his disappointment, it looked like only his grandson would get the girl. That Madoka girl was clearly also in love with that guy. Ichika, he wasn't sure but it looked like the guy was figuring things out.
But the chance that his granddaughter would be picked were slim.
After lunch, both made their way back to the school.
"So what did you and Dan talk about?" Ichika liked teasing his little sister. She did the same often enough. During trips to the communal baths, she sent her message through the girls in the bath. Despite all things, he was still a fifteen-year-old hormonal teenager. When the nubile and young bodies came in view, Ichika felt aroused.
"Nothing bad, Ichi-nii. I noticed how Ran looked at you."
"I am not mad enough to try something on her. With her grandfather around. That is asking for problems." Ichika replied. He wasn't going to risk anything with Ran. Besides, he wasn't sure if he felt that way around Ran that way.
So far, his strongest pull went to Houki. But that was all for later. So far, they had to make their way back to the ISA.
When they got back, they found one weird scene. A third bed was being placed. For the two of them, it was one weird sight.
Their assistant homeroom teacher was standing next to it.
"Eh, Yamada-sensei. What is going on?" The woman smiled at them.
"Well, you two are going to have a new roommate." The twins blinked at her.
"What?"
"Well, they discovered the third male pilot in France. That boy is now transferring." The smile of Maya made them doubt if she was hearing what she said.
"So that means that you are getting a roommate. I hope you don't mind." The twins did mind, thank you very much. So both of them would do something.
'We call Taba-nee.' Madoka asked in her mindset. Ichika nodded.
'And we're gonna see Chifuyu-nee and Mattheus. We'll need some information.' Ichika sent back and the girl agreed.
"In that case, Yamada-sensei. We'll let you work on this. We'll be back when it is completed." The twins went off to see a few.
"Chifuyu-nee first." Ichika pulled his little sister along to see the Brunhilde.
"Yes. If a third male was discovered, we would have heard that from her or Taba-nee. But nothing so that means that something ain't right." It didn't take long before Chifuyu heard knocking on the door.
It was pulled open and with a wry smile, she looked at her siblings.
"I was expecting the two of you. Let me guess. The new male pilot?" They didn't stay out in the hallway.
Before they even had to open their mouth, their sister spoke.
"You don't have to ask me because I already know. I can't confirm but my guts tell me this is fishy. The student comes from France. The name is Charles Dunois but all the rest of the information is classified. Don't ask Tabane about this, because she might turn this into one shitshow." Her tone left little over to protest so both decided to listen to Chifuyu.
"Chifuyu-nee, do you think this is a male student? I doubt that." Chifuyu smiled at Madoka while she was sitting down.
"I don't think that it's a male but this person is pretty close to the Dunois corporation. So both of you be on guard in case something might come from that." Ichika nodded.
"I suppose that you don't want us to go to Mattheus with questions." Chifuyu sighed when the name of the Hunter was brought up.
"Speaking of him, he went to see me this afternoon. It looks like your bestie has some ties to that." Madoka wondered her older and cool sister picked up words like that.
Bestie. It was weird to hear that word coming from Chifuyu Orimura.
"I won't ask him. But why did he come to you, Chifuyu-nee." The Brunhilde shrugged on that while she was getting ready for bed.
"Because I am his homeroom teacher. And now, off to bed. It's late enough you two." And without any further ado, both of them went see their room. Sleep was something that both needed. Especially because their meters were going off.
The next day
"Hello, everyone, my name is Charles Dunois. I'm the Representative Candidates from France." They looked to see a lightly build young 'man' standing who wore a long-sleeved shirt and long trousers.
The girls erupted in a loud cheer. "ANOTHER GUY!"
Four voices shared the same thought.
'Who (the fuck) does this chick think she is kidding?'
Joel and Mattheus didn't need to be hooked on the link between Ichika and Madoka as they eyed the blonde. Too thin and lithe to be a guy, Ichika shared a look with Mattheus. The male hadn't spoken much as the Hunter was up earlier.
"Okay. That is enough. We got training sessions. You four need to get out." Chifuyu sent a signal to Mattheus and Joel with the eyes.
'Watch yourself and my brother.' Ichika stood up while Joel took his place at Mattheus back.
"Okay, let's roll. This is going to be a doozy." Charles wasn't sure what happened as Ichika took his hand and Mattheus pushed open the door.
"Time to go." Joel held on Mattheus while the three were running.
The Hunter scouted while Ichika took the hand along. When the Knight got a thumbs up, Ichika followed him.
"Wait, what is going on?" Ichika smiled at Charles and with that, a horde of girls was going their direction.
"We're the only guys around here. Girls will be getting after us so that means that we have to get out and dressed. The girls change in the classroom. And now." Ichika took Charles up and with a wry smile, she was dropped.
Three floors down.
She didn't land with a broken back but she was captured by Mattheus. Ichika slid down the stairs with a smile on his face.
"Sorry about that Dunois but we're the only guys. The girls are crazy. And if we're not in time, we'll get some serious punishment. Which reminds me. Joel."
The punk look at his clock. "Don't worry about it. You got some time." The boys were sure of that. Reaching their locker room, they barged in and began to change. Ichika would wear a form of tight wearing suits.
Charles was also changing. "You better hurry up," Ichika commented and when they turned they saw that he was wearing the same outfit as Ichik but with an orange outline.
"You really are fast." He said as Ichika whispered to the new guy. Meanwhile, Mattheus dressed himself up in his sweater while taking over a large bomber jacket underneath that.
Joel was wearing a sweater and heavy jeans. "Let's go after them, Joel." Extending an arm, Joel hung on that while Mattheus walked to the training grounds. Ichika and Charles were behind them.
Besides Ichika's own class, Rin's class had joined up.
Ichika walked up next to Madoka who shared a grin with him.
His teacher was wearing a gym outfit. So she was in front of the class.
"For this class, we'll have a demonstration first. Therefore, Huang and Alcott."
The girls snapped to attention.
His sister wasn't just a teacher but also a drill sergeant.
"Yes."
"You two with personal units should be able to get going right away," Chifuyu commanded the two while the two weren't motivated at all on that endeavor.
"What a pain."
"I wonder what good this is."
The woman smiled at them.
"You two. Show some motivation. You might be able to show off. Especially for them." Madoka and Ichika gave her a deadpan stare. One that once Chifuyu laid claim to. She was just smiling as both got a huge motivator boost. Mattheus could only wryly smile.
Chifuyu knew how to get them riled up. And their egos as well. In one flash, the two were ready to go.
"So who am I fighting? I think that Rin is a good opponent. It might actually be too easy." Cecilia boasted as the Brit put her hands up her hips.
Rin had her arms crossed and looked at her. "Right back at you. You'll be the one crying."
Joel could only shake his head when he looked at the two.
"Pride becomes for the fall if you were to ask me."
"You two. Don't be hasty idiots. After all, your opponent will be." A scream came from above. Ichika had recognized that as Maya.
'Our Assistant homeroom teacher. Okay. That can be something. But does she know how to pilot this damn thing?'
Mattheus wondered in his mind as it looked like she came crashing down. The green hair fitted nicely with the machine.
"Out of the way!" She screamed and as clear as day, she was embarrassed. She came crashing down next to Ichika. The boy had no time to get away from the crash. He could only prepare himself for the shock.
"Ow!" He said and the dust began to settle.
The girls of the two classes looked really interested in that. Ichika could barely recognize that he had landed on top of her.
And like good fortune or bad fortune wanted to uphold it, he could feel her up. If Ichika was a judge, Maya Yamada had a good set of tits. And well, why not enjoy it?
"Yamada-sensei. Did you really have to do that?" Ichika asked while Madoka had to giggle. Mattheus gave a whistle as Ichika got lucky to some degree.
"Well, ehm. This is a bit direct. But you can't do that. Otherwise, Orimura-sensei will become my sister-in-law."
Great.
Meek reply for a copout.
Blushed and flustered tone.
Plus that declaration.
Turning his head, he found that Cecilia was preparing to shoot at him. She would have gone through as she didn't find that Mattheus had taken precautionary measures and deployed his rifle. Just to be sure.
It was a good thing that he had a good little sister as Madoka deployed her own Infinite Stratos and shot Rin's spear out of the way. The Hunter dissolved his rifle and slid down. Pulling Ichika off the teacher, the older boy just took an arm and swung Ichika over his back.
"Come along. I suppose that they're fighting Yamada-sensei." Mattheus only needed one arm to get Ichika out of the mess.
Chifuyu smiled at them. It was better to let those kids take care of this.
"Yamada-sensei is a former national representative candidate. I think that she'll be enough to keep your hands full." She looked at the two candidates in the sky.
The piloting teacher stood up and scratched her head. "Yeah but that was years ago. And I didn't get much further."
You two little runts. Get this show on the road."
"Hold on. Two against one?" The sniper of the two asked.
"That's a little too overkill." Rin backed her up.
Chifuyu smirked at them.
"Don't worry. You two are going down in the state that you are now."
It pissed off Cecilia and Rin when she said that. Madoka and Ichika knew better than to reply. When Chifuyu Orimura spoke of a fight, she knew what she was talking about.
Like some sport match, Chifuyu lifted her hand.
"Ready. Begin." The three took off.
And after the exchange, Cecilia was the first to act and launched her drones.
Maya just moved out the way for them and began to fight back. Their sister wasn't joking. Maya avoided those shots with practiced ease. She was experienced, Ichika would admit that.
After that, Rin used her canon on her. To no avail as Maya easily avoided the first shot and blocked the second one. It was a sight to see how she played on those two. But their sister turned to the newest member of the class.
"Dunois. Describe the Infinite Stratos that Yamada-sensei is using." Charles looked at her but she nodded. A smart choice.
"Yes." She took a breath and began to talk about the machine.
"Yamada-sensei Infinite Stratos is the Rafale Revive, made by the Dunois Company. Considered the best of the second generation models, the specs are even comparable to the earliest third-generation models."
In the sky, the three were trading blows but nothing really happened up there.
"Among the currently mass-produced models, it is the latest model and the third-best-selling in the world. The reason for that is the fact that the machine can be easily configured. Close range, long-range, or defense."
Ichika could only find it impressive how Maya was fighting those two while Joel took the opportunity to listen to some music. If it wasn't some new bits, he didn't care about the Infinite Stratos. It was idiotic. If he had his hands on one of those, he could amp it beyond a Personal Unit.
Who's the last punk in L.A.?
He's the last punk in L.A.
Mattheus tapped his finger on his forearm. It got his blood rushing. Those introductions were great for him. It didn't hurt to turn to your roots once in a while.
The Hunter did admire the fight that was going on. He didn't want to have to fight Maya. Not right now. Especially because she deployed something new.
Even as Infinite Stratos, a Grenade Launcher remained the form. Joel knew it was to make it easier to use the weapons. Either way, a grenade fired on the two, they didn't stand a chance as they were swept away by the explosion.
They ended up on the floor like a mess.
"I never thought that I would lose like that." Cecilia lamented.
"You gotta stop being so predictable." Rin was to complain but got it right to her face.
"Rin. You're one to talk. You shouldn't shoot that much at random." Maya landed and Chifuyu joined them.
"You've seen what your instructor can do and at what level she is. Be sure to address her with respect. To make another show." She turned to the group.
"Orimura." Again, the twins shared a look and back to their sister with a deadpan stare. Kinda hard to call one if both of them got the same last name.
It took a second before Chifuyu understood what was going on.
"Both of you. Step forward." Crossing her arms, she eyed the twins.
"Next time, if I want the female, I will say Orimura-san. If I want the male, I will say Orimura-kun. If I want both of you, I will say your family name." A small smirk was formed on the face of the two.
"How do you two feel for a fight against a teacher?" The twins calmed down and eyed Maya and went back to their sister.
"You want us."
"To fight her."
One didn't need to have a link when the rest of their class had one unanimous thought.
'I hate it when they do that creepy twin stuff.'
Chifuyu just looked back at the teacher.
"I just would like to see the differences between the two teams of fighters." Ichika shared a look with Madoka who just shrugged.
"Let's do it."
"Sure."
Both of them deployed their machines.
"Kuroshiki."
"Byakushiki." In their head, both of them began to think about it.
'How do you want to do this?' Ichika asked his sister who began to think about it. Maya had a lot of weapons at her disposal and quite some skill under her belt.
Still, the main reason why Cecilia and Rin went down was not that they sucked at it but because they didn't communicate. And that was one thing that the twins were good at.
'You go in and I'll cover you?'
'Sounds like a plan.' Chifuyu smiled at them.
"You're ready for another fight, Yamada-sensei." The greenette nodded with glee. It would be a challenge to fight the twins.
"Yes. I look forward to this." The twins stood back and waited at the signal.
"Begin." As soon that was said, Ichika raced in while Madoka covered her brother. While it drove Maya to fight back, Ichika was racing to her. Maya could only avoid the shots but when Ichika came close, she blocked him.
The Rafale Revive was a unit that was an all-round unit but it was primarily focused on long-range fighting. Hand to hand combat wasn't something she was really used to.
'Ichi-nii. I'm moving up.' Madoka moved to the side.
'You want me to continue to give sniper support?' Maya broke off contact and raced away from the Knight.
'Fire when you got her in your sights. It's just the two of us. Stay away from her. The last thing I want is to slam in you.' Maya had gone left of Ichika. That played as an advantage as Madoka couldn't fire at the teacher without risking hitting her brother. The boy had also to avoid her shots as Maya was using a different attack.
Switching to the assault rifle, she had Ichika and Madoka on the defense. Problem was that the two stayed out of each other's way to avoid getting boxed in.
'Madoka, I take the left side.'
'I'll go right. Ichi-nii. One of us has to act as a decoy.' Having the shots aimed at her, Ichika was already appointed as one.
Madoka didn't hesitate and pulled her own shots at Maya. The teacher was just looking as she had to avoid the shots coming to her direction.
That was one surprise for her. She wouldn't have guessed that Madoka could change her position so fast. Incoming sniper fire was detected and Maya had escaped at the very last moment. The youngest wasn't giving her an inch to move away from.
She was too focused on the woman as she didn't notice that Ichika raced closer to her. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a strike of white aimed at her direction. The only thing that she could do was blocking the attack.
This was one world of difference compared to Rin and Cecilia. The two were trained and from the other side, Madoka went to the side. Unlike last time, Ichika broke off the sword. With her side wide open, the sniper hit her target. Surely, it wasn't enough to get her down but it did drain her shield points.
What she didn't realize was that Ichika was faster and out of the fire line of his sister, he attacked Maya. A slash caused her to lose focus and Ichika broke contact again.
Again, Maya could feel that shots were hitting her. Her focus or rather, the focus of the Infinite Stratos was focused on the assailant. That was normally a good thing but with a double team, two fighters who were used to fighting alongside, could effectively communicate and wear their opponent down, especially when it was two versus one.
And even if the link between Ichika and Madoka was removed, it still wouldn't be enough to get them down. Fighting as one in synch was something that the two had mastered a long time ago. The hit and run was something both had mastered a long, long time ago. Both of them could feel the other move and act before they even had to ask the other.
Not even in their link. Ichika slashed and hacked and brought Maya closer. When Maya was following him when her machine gun rattled, she found that sniper fire came from Madoka.
The woman stayed out of harms way and when the teacher flew to Madoka, Ichika intercepted her. Chifuyu looked on the fight with her arms crossed. Joel decided that the song could wait. Tapping on Mattheus, the guy went down so he could get from the back.
Walking to the teacher, Joel just joined Chifuyu Orimura without a hint of shame.
The woman looked at the boy.
"It looks like you put some good training in them. There's nothing more annoying but fighting two opponents in sync." Mattheus had flashbacks to Doom. Those twin fighters were fucking annoying to deal with. One was enough, thank you.
"Indeed. You seem to know of it." The boy shrugged.
"Not the first fight I have seen."
Both looked up and it was like the twins were in complete synch. It wasn't hard for them but Ichika just moved his head aside to allow a bullet to hit Maya. It wasn't that they thought.
Chifuyu noticed that the two weren't acting as two different minds. One mind of them was controlling them. Yet, Chifuyu knew that Maya would step up her game. Ichika and Madoka were wearing her down but nothing was more dangerous than a beast that was wounded.
So when Maya found that enough was enough, she deployed her grenade launcher. Aiming at Ichika, she foresaw that he would move out the way. Turning back, she aimed at Madoka. When he noticed that his sister was in danger, Ichika flung back.
The grenades meant for her hit the boy full center mass. His machine made it clear that the hit wasn't good for him so he was out. Madoka gritted her teeth. No one hurt her brother. No one.
In her blind fury, Maya found that she had to shoot at Madoka again. But not before Madoka used her own Yukihira on the teacher. Before the notification went off that she had lost, the youngest had slammed her sword into her.
Which caused both of them to crash.
"Boom," Mattheus said as he ran up to Joel and pulled the boy away. Chifuyu could only look at the mess.
"I suppose we all have learned something. Yamada-sensei. Next time, take my siblings a bit more seriously. And for you two, Orimura. Don't let your emotions."
"Come into play." Again, the creepy shit came out as both answered.
"Yeah, yeah. We heard it that many times." Madoka said as she crawled out the hole. Mattheus offered her a hand.
"Either way, the training matches are now over. We are going to train in groups now. The ones with Personal Machines are the leader."
That amounted to Ichika, Madoka, Cecilia, Rin, Charlotte, and Mattheus who had Joel as his extra.
Six of them which meant each of them had five girls to mentor.
As luck would have it, Ichika had Houki in his group. He also listened to the other girls and their stories. The other girls had no problem with teaching. Mattheus held his mouth shut and let Joel talk about the machine.
"Okay, when you're done drooling over my boy, who wants to get in the unit?" Pointing with a thumb over his shoulder, Mattheus looked at the machine. Without any problems, he carried the woman to the machine. Strapping her down, he looked at Joel. The thumbs went up and she could move.
Ichika and Madoka sneaked glances when they heard the boy speak. It was incredible how much he knew of the machines. He might come close to Tabane.
But Ichika had his own jobs and he heard all that Aikawa Kiyoka had to say about her hobbies.
Houki was happy to be carried like a princess and well, it was fun to see how things went by. Charles also got attention from the girls.
"You do know how to get in, right? You'll activate it, walk and switch." Houki had no problem doing so.
"Hey, Ichika. For this lunch, do you have somewhere to go?" The girl asked and Ichika shook his head.
"Not really? Why the question." The woman lit up like a house.
"Well, why don't you have lunch with me?" Ichika didn't see too much in it. It might have been nice to spend some time with her alone.
The two considered small mercy that Madoka and Mattheus came along. As there were more uninvited guests like Charles, Rin, and Cecilia.
The oldest and youngest either ignored the starring match as all of the girls besides Madoka had an annoyed expression. It was a good thing that the woman found ways to break the ice. When they talked about training, it stopped the munch from becoming more awkward.
Ichika sent her a warm thank you via the link as they sat down and talked and enjoyed their lunch to a certain degree.
After the day, Ichika and Madoka were ready to crash down in their bed. Charles had a third one.
"I'm calling dibs on the shower," Ichika said and as he undressed, Madoka paid close attention. Sure, she was used to seeing her brother naked and a part of her enjoyed the sight. Charles' face stood good with red. It was just a prodding suspicion that the person wasn't male. But she would wait.
She had to make a plan with a few persons involved. Those involved would be her siblings. But she could wait for that. Rush wasn't a good thing.
And perhaps they could need another input. Her new bestie and his cohort were another part that could help her. Madoka felt some animosity coming from Charles or what her name might be to Mattheus and Joel.
But the next morning, there was even a bigger surprise.
The next day
"Everyone, we have a new transfer student," Maya announced and she was looking a bit awkward on that matter.
The girl in question was small and she had long silver hair. She wore a long shirt and a short skirt. Her boots were that of a soldier plus she had an eyepatch on her face.
"This is Laura Bodewig from Germany." The girls began to chatter while she looked at them.
Sure, transfer students were somewhat normal but two in one row. That was an uncommon occurrence. Maya amended the class to get silent again.
"Please everyone. Settle down. We are not done with the introduction." Chifuyu took over from the greenette.
"Introduce yourself, Laura." She stood behind the board with her arms crossed. It didn't go unnoticed by her siblings. She gave them a sparse glance as both knew that look.
Madoka wondered why their sister used the first name of that girl. But she hadn't ignored one part. Maya had said where Madoka came from.
'in Germany? And Chifuyu-nee used her first name.' The message was quick and Ichika could only nod in his head.
'Yeah, I noticed as well, little sis. We gonna ask big sis about this girl.' Meanwhile, the girl responded to the teacher.
"Yes, instructor." The girl looked at her and Ichika knew what was in the eye. Adoration. One look he had seen often enough.
"I'm Laura Bodewig." And she didn't open her mouth again. The silence set in and for most of them, it was awkward.
A wise man once said that in a good relationship, people could appreciate silence. The three Orimura siblings were fans of that.
"Is that all?" Maya asked, a bit uncomfortable with the whole introduction.
"That is all." When she uttered that word, she walked to Ichika and Madoka who just eyed her. Sharp reflexes were one good thing they had gotten. Laura had intended for a backhand but the two had captured her wrist.
The class had dropped their mouth when they found how fast the twins were at stopping at her.
Ichika didn't even look up to her when she swung. But now, he did. His eyes were focused on her.
An identical pair of eyes were going from another side.
"What's the big idea?" He asked calmly. Laura wanted to get out his grip but found that pain came from the other hand.
Her eyes found a face that she loathed even more than the male. Not abnormal as Madoka could be seen as a bigger copy of Chifuyu than Ichika.
A bit smaller but the face and most of the body matched. That really caused to boil of Laura's blood.
She got herself loose from the twins while the class was still shocked at them.
Joel and Mattheus knew of the look and sighed. They had to start making some better luck. Because theirs had run out now.
Laura got herself loose from her captors.
"You two. You're not worthy to be called her siblings." Oh, just their luck. Now, talking with their big sister had really moved up.
And when Ichika looked at their sister, that was something that Chifuyu would agree on.
And with this, I think we'll end the chapter. If you're wondering why I took so long. I went back to my dad and I joined a clan in the Division 2. And well, I had some games to play.
If you're wondering why it came during the weekend, on 28/08/2020, my internet fell out. No joke. From the early hours, it went down. When I called my hardware shop, the employee told me that I am not the only one.
So while I could play other games, I decided to write a bit. I also had some bits to let others know that I could be quiet. It is why I was so fast in this chapter on one day.
One good thing that came from the blackout.
Next upcoming fic to get updated. Pillar Winged.
Saluut.
