Tied Together [Book 2]

Chapter 46: Hectic Household

Third Person View

Nagisa was walking, listening to Arisa and Chiyuki talk.

It was a normal, usual day. They were going home from a full day of school.

"Really? What happened then?" Arisa was pedaling her bike.

Nagisa smiled, "Then he went all the way to America and actually lifted the baseball player up."

"Wh-whoa!" Chiyuki exclaimed. Arisa started laughing out loud.

"That's great!" Arisa wiped her tears. "My younger siblings didn't believe me at all when I told them about Korosensei!"

Nagisa looked at the girl. "Ah, that's right. You have younger siblings, don't you, Arisa-chan?"

"How much do you have?" Chiyuki added.

"Four." Arisa held out four fingers.

"F-four!?"

The peach-haired girl crossed her arms, sighing. "That's right. Four little rascals I have to watch over every single day!" She put her hands back on her bike.

"It must be hectic every day, huh?" Nagisa brought up a question.

With four little siblings in the house, Nagisa can't imagine how noisy it is. Well, she's not one to talk.

"Ohh, you don't know half of it. I can't take my eyes off them even for a minute!" Arisa gave them a cheeky smile.

"Oh, come on," Chiyuki looked at her. "You have 'I love them all to pieces' written all over your face, Arisa-chan!"

"So you take care of them ever day?" Nagisa asked again.

"Yeah, with parents. But since they go home pretty late, I take care of them."

"...Arisa-chan being a responsible older sister...?" Nagisa and Chiyuki thought as they sweat dropped. They imagined Arisa winking and sticking her tongue out as she smiled.

"The second child is a boy, he's in middle school. He's a quiet one," Arisa started explaining. "The third child is a girl, she's two years younger than the second one. I guess you can say she's a copy and paste of me? Hehe..."

Chiyuki sweat dropped. "I can already imagine..."

Arisa looked forward, "The fourth child is a fifth grader. He's a real tsundere, but once you get to know him, he's really fun. The youngest one is a little girl in second grade. She's so innocent and responsible, maybe even more than me!"

Nagisa smiled at her friend. "Heeh..."

They honestly couldn't imagine Arisa, the always clumsy and bubbly bundle of joy, being responsible taking care of the house.

This made them even more curious.

"Can we... go to your house someday? I want to see what your siblings are like in person..." Chiyuki fidgeted her pointer fingers together.

Arisa lit up. "Sure! Or, we can just go now! Are you two free?"

"N-now!?" Chiyuki stuttered. "Well... I don't have anything scheduled after this..."

"Yeah, me too. Why don't we go?" A bluenette smiled.

"What about Akabane-kun?" Chiyuki looked at the taller girl.

"Karma has plans with his friends today."

Arisa pedaled ahead, "Alright, let's go!"

"Ah, wait," She suddenly pulled a break, instantly stopping her bike. "Get on, guys!"
