Episode 18: Sayuki-chan and Haruhiko-san (Part 3)
744: Anonymous Combatant
Hey Hakase, about that “Sexy” person you mentioned before – does she not get along with A-ko chan?
745: Anonymous Combatant
Come to think of it, you never answered that question.
746: Hakase
Nah, they actually get along really well.
747: Anonymous Combatant
Huh? Wasn’t there a love triangle with Big Bro?
748: Anonymous Combatant
It’s strange to see an executive and combat member being friendly.
749: Anonymous Combatant
Well, isn’t it equally strange for a regular combat member to follow a senior executive?
750: Hakase
Let me explain that situation.
A-ko chan joined the organization as a child when she was struggling to get by.
While she was having trouble adjusting to the unfamiliar environment, Big Bro looked after her, and she developed romantic feelings, saying “I love you, Big Bro-san!”
It’s kind of similar to my relationship with the cat-eared kunoichi,
though in her case it’s more familial and she just likes to tease me.
751: Anonymous Combatant
Ah, so Big Bro is like an admired big brother figure.
752: Anonymous Combatant
Now that you mention it, among the four combat member idols, A-ko chan is the only one close to the executives.
Is it because Big Bro took care of her, helping her make connections?
753: Anonymous Combatant
Must be a lot of jealousy towards a combat member who catches a senior executive’s eye.
754: Hakase
»752 That’s right.
Since she was directly under Big Bro as a senior executive’s combat member, there probably wasn’t any obvious harassment. Though I can’t read people’s inner discontent.
The leader would often glare at her with a “hmmmm…” kind of look.
755: Anonymous Combatant
Can’t be helped.
756: Anonymous Combatant
It’s natural to dislike a cute girl who your brother figure pays attention to.
757: Anonymous Combatant
She’s like a rival threatening younger sibling position.
758: Anonymous Combatant
Hey, the Leader is cute too though…?
759: Hakase
A-ko chan left the organization following Big Bro when he defected.
Unlike I-na chan who has parents in the organization, A-ko chan doesn’t.
She probably wasn’t that attached to an organization without Big Bro.
So I forged family registry documents for Big Bro and A-ko chan, making them distant relatives. It gives them a reason to live together, and makes marriage possible if needed.
760: Anonymous Combatant
Hakase is really thoughtful and takes good care of others.
761: Anonymous Combatant
And yet he’s been single for as long as he’s been alive lol
762: Hakase
Could you please either praise me or criticize me, not both…
Anyway, A-ko chan is now a student and works as a waitress at Big Bro’s shop.
She gets along fine with Sexy too since they’ve known each other for a while. They’re both good girls.
763: Anonymous Combatant
A peaceful love triangle? Big Bro must be taking life too easy!
764: Anonymous Combatant
Delnkeim seems pretty laid-back in general.
765: Hakase
By the way, I met with Sexy and Big Bro just last Sunday.
I was busy working that day too.
Got so absorbed in work that before I knew it, it was 3 PM. My stomach was growling since I hadn’t eaten lunch.
But if I ate too much now, I wouldn’t be able to eat dinner.
I thought I might grab a light sandwich at Big Bro’s place during my break.
On my way to the café, I happened to run into Sexy.
Sexy: “Oh, Hakase-san, good afternoon~”
Me: “What a coincidence. Heading to Big Bro’s?”
Sexy: “Yes, I actually missed lunch so I’m going to get something light”
Me: “Hey, same here”
Sexy: “Would you like to join me?”
Of course I said OK.
By the way, Sexy is set up with a job after graduating from junior college (my forged credentials at work again).
Seems she’s pretty busy too.
766: Anonymous Combatant
Having a meal with Sexy-san!?
767: Anonymous Combatant
They really are close friends after all! lol
768: Anonymous Combatant
I love Sexy-san’s works, they have such warmth!

769: Hakase
Hey, could you stop looking for opportunities to tease?
Besides, the main character this time is Big Bro, not me.
770: Anonymous Combatant
Sexy is totally head over heels for Big Bro.
771: Anonymous Combatant
I get it – they’re usually friendly but only get awkward when competing for Big Bro.
772: Hakase
At the shop, I naturally sat with Sexy, and A-ko chan came to take our order.
A-ko: “Welcome, Hakase-san, Sexy-san”
Sexy: “Hello~ A-ko chan”
Me: “Ah, A-ko. I’ll have a roast beef sandwich and iced coffee”
Sexy: “I’ll have the shrimp and avocado sandwich, and iced milk tea”
And for those expecting drama, sorry to disappoint. Those two don’t get tense even when Big Bro’s around.
Big Bro: “Ah, Sexy. Welcome”
Sexy: “Big Bro-san, hello~” (waving)
A-ko: “Ah, me too, me too!” (also waving)
Big Bro: “Ah, haha…”
773: Hakase
You see, Sexy and A-ko aren’t rivals but allies. They’re actually plotting to both become Big Bro’s wives.
Their ideal wedding ceremony apparently involves both of them in wedding dresses standing on either side of Big Bro.
Big Bro, who never flinches even in battle, was breaking into cold sweat.
Me: “A-ko. Could I add some marble cookies too?”
A-ko: “Yes, certainly!”
So I thought I’d enjoy some snacks while watching Big Bro squirm.
774: Anonymous Combatant
Polygamy!? Is Big Bro seriously messing around!?
775: Anonymous Combatant
That aside, Hakase, you’re so gossipy!?
776: Hakase
But honestly though?
777: Anonymous Combatant
I’m honestly interested too!
778: Anonymous Combatant
Big Bro being popular is annoying, but I still want to hear these stories!
779: Anonymous Combatant
Look at these model nyanJ members lol
780: Hakase
That’s more like it. Now then, back to our meal.
Sexy: “Hakase-san, your sandwich looks delicious”
Me: “Your shrimp and avocado one looks good too. Want to trade one?”
Sexy: “Thank you. Yes, let’s do that”
This is how it usually goes when it’s just us two. With Gorimaccho, it’s more like “Let’s just order everything we want and share!”
781: Anonymous Combatant
It’s nice how they’re friends despite being different genders.
782: Anonymous Combatant
She still treasures the ribbon, showing how much she cares about their friendship!
783: Hakase
Me, enduring the teasing with iron willpower.
Sexy: “A-ko chan, is everything alright living with Big Bro-san?”
A-ko: “Yes, he’s very kind to me. Every day is fun”
Sexy: “Hmph, Big Bro-san, pay attention to me too”
Big Bro: “M-me?”
A-ko: “Ah, that’s unfair, Sexy-san”
Sexy: “Then let’s all take a bath together with Big Bro-san”
Big Bro: “A-a bath!?”
Big Bro’s iron willpower being tested in real-time.
Me: “Woohoo, as expected of Big Bro! Still popular as ever!”
Big Bro: “P-please, Hakase. Could you not stir things up right now?”
munching cookies Me grinning.
Seeing Big Bro – strong, wise, and considerate – flustered by two girls who adore him.
There’s a certain nutritional value you can only get from that.
784: Anonymous Combatant
Taking a bath… together!? So envious, so hateful…!
785: Anonymous Combatant
So Big Bro truly is a member of an evil organization…
786: Anonymous Combatant
Hakase seems to be having fun.
787: Hakase
To be honest, it’s not my problem.
Big Bro might have it rough, but he’s got cute girls like A-ko and Sexy both liking him at the same time. He needs to properly struggle and suffer for it.
It’s not jealousy, definitely not jealousy.
788: Anonymous Combatant
True, being liked means Big Bro needs to maintain balance elsewhere.
789: Anonymous Combatant
Well, between a high school girl and a genuine sexy beauty, this much is natural.
