20 minutes after, and the doorbell rings

As if a dog would, he stood up, and marched to the door, he didn't lock it, yet he also wanted to greet her

"I'm home, Onii-chan"

"Yeah, welcome back"

Greetings were given

(Hehe, I finally sound like the Stay-at-Home Husband I was meant to be)

"Ughh, Onii-chan, you're making that face again"

(It can't be helped)

The so-called "creepy grin" has now left, only a smile of anticipation

"Anyway, what's for dinner?"

"What's with that? Aren't you supposed to be the Stay-at-Home Husband? Aren't you supposed to be the one that cooks?"

(Whoa, Komachi, you've recognized my true talents?)

"Do you want to eat curry every day?"

"Yeah, what a useless brother I have, but since you're my brother, Komachi is willing to put up with you, ooohh, new Komachi points for me"

"And since you're my sister, I'll eat anything you make, that got me lots of Hachiman points"

Komachi, on her way to the kitchen

With a bag of groceries in hand, she plans to make something fresh?

"Fine, I'll cook, also Mom and Dad aren't going to be home tonight"

(Sometimes, I pity those corporate slaves)

Half an hour has passed, and the scent of the kitchen proved enticing

"Tada! Here it is! Komachi's delicious Hamburg steak!"

In excitement she screams, a plate of savory looking meat has appeared in front of him

The source of her energy is unknown, what's more of a mystery was how she still had energy left, teachers, rather, Komachi is still a mystery

(Amazing)

The smell, the look, the presentation, it felt casual and homemade, yet a sense of class was imbedded into it

It still looked dead, yet inside his eyes, it glowed in anticipation

"Thank you for the food"

Not a moment later, he took a bite

*Groans*

Sweet, sour, salty, soft, chewy, juicy, tender, all of that, he felt in his mouth

His first bite he now swallowed, raising a look at Komachi

"Komachi, please take care of your brother, and never become anyone's bride, ok?"

For some reason, his voice sounded fond...and gentle?

"Sorry, unfortunately, I can't handle a siscon brother forever, that's why, the best that this sister can do is to get her siscon brother his very own bride"

(Ughh)

A defeated groan from Hachiman

Komachi now served her own plate, and at the table in front of him she sat

"Anyway, Onii-chan, I want to go shopping tomorrow"

"Don't want to"

"Why!?"
