Banana Fish [Good Life]

Chapter 4

"Eimi! Akira!" Eiji is suprised, he never predicted the presence of his sister and Akira-Ibe's niece.

"I thought you went to your university, onii-chan. And who is he? Your new friend?" Eimi smiled innocently, with a quite fondly yet curious expression about the blonde she considered 'handsome'.

"Oh no, he is ... Well, you better not pay him in mind!" Eiji whispered to Eimi. He didn't want his little sister to get involved with Ash, even though he bet he is gay.

On the other hand, Ash was taken aback when he first saw Eimi. His heart flutters a little, as she looks like a genderbend version of Eiji. Her physique is smaller than Eiji, but her black hair is cut short like a tomboy, quite similar to Eiji's old hairstyle, and it is attached with a bunny hair clip. Big round eyes, white skin with a warm smile. If anyone said this is Eiji after being reincarnated as a girl, Ash would surely believe it.

Eimi creeped out slightly when she saw Ash's dazed gaze. She hurriedly turned away, continuing her conversation. "Oh yeah, onii-chan. Can Akira-chan stay at our house today? Ibe-san is busy with works at America now, and it probably won't be finished until next month." Holding Akira's hand, Eimi winked and smiled at her.

"Of course she can!"

"Are they talking about Ibe-san? Is he in this life too? Is he-she a girl? Does Ibe-san have a niece?" Ash looked curiously at Akira.

The Okumura siblings were communicating in Japanese, and he understood almost everything. Ash learned Japanese thanks to his endless love for Eiji, so now it's fine if someone want to have him sing in Japanese. Ash was glad that he was finally able to get closer to Eiji, spending a year studying the language of his loved one.

"Yo, Ash! What's the fun? Who are those girls?"

Shorter came out of nowhere and threw himself around Ash's shoulders, whistling when he saw what happened. He seems to be curious about the girl whose appearance resembles Eiji. "Who's that? She looks hella cute! Introduce her to me!"

Ash pushed Shorter away, grumbling and replied, "Shut up! I didn't even speak a word to her! I only know her name."

"Haha, is that so? Can I flirt with her?"

"Screw you!"

Shorter gleefully walked over to Eimi, stretched out his hand and smiled amiably. "Hello cute girl! My name is Shorter Wong, friend of the lovesick guy at the back."

Eimi was silent for a while, feeling that he wasn't a bad guy, smiling politely, shaking hands with him, reply: "Hi. I'm Eimi Okumura, my brother's sister. Are you his friend?"

"No no. I only knew him yesterday. Your brother is quite majestic!" Finished his sentence, Shorter winked at her, as if referring her to something interesting.

"No way! Onii-chan, what did you do?" Eimi pursed her mouth, she was really curious about the relationship between Eiji and the two.

Eiji didn't want his sister to know about yesterday's embarrassment, he grabbed her wrist. "Don't you ask! Hurry up and go to school!"

"That's my lines, onii-chan! We just transferred here, you have to enroll in university today. This is the way to my school."

"Oh, isn't it coincidental? So we're on the same way, Eimi-chan~." Shorter added with excitement.

"I-I have a meeting for admission this afternoon. I'm free this morning, so I want to visit your school. In short, hurry up! Akira-chan too!" Eiji insisted on separating Eimi from Ash and Shorter, pushing her and Akira's back forward.
