Chapter 5: Fishy Smell
After taking Aika, who was a bit dizzy and confused, home, Jin returned to his own home. Surprisingly, Aika's house was located a station away from his. So he only needed to take her to the station, and she returned home by herself after that.
The sky had already turned dark, and the street was empty at the time he walked back home. It was unusual for Japan to have such an empty street, even at night. However, Kuoh Town wasn't a big town, unlike Tokyo, so such a sight was normal for Jin.
Furthermore, he was already familiar with the street and quickly navigated back to his house. After walking for more than 10 minutes, Jin arrived at his house and opened the door while saying his usual greeting.
"I am home."
Just a normal greeting, or so he thought.
Suddenly, his brother, Issei, jumped out from the shadow and approached him lightning fast as if he was teleporting. He suddenly grabbed his shoulders and shouted excitedly.
"Nii-san! You're here! I was waiting for you like for ages!"
His lips curled up in a disgusting smile, and his face was leaned close.
'Disgusting!' Jin shouted inside his mind and shoved his brother's face away from him.
"Get me some space!"
"Oh! Sorry!"
Issei backed away, still with his disgusting smile, as he scratched the back of his head.
Normally, his mother or father would be the one who answered his greeting, so it was fresh that his brother was the one who answered him, but in a disgusting way.
Anyway, it was rare for his brother to get this excited.
Jin tried to analyze the situation quickly. What kind of thing could make his perverted brother this excited?
There was an instance where he got excited over finding a rare JAV that only sold for 100 copies, but that excitement wasn't as bad as this time.
So he scratched that out of the list. So, did his brother manage to peek at Katase and Murayama's bare boobs? But that excitement shouldn't last until this long. It would be only a temporary excitement.
So, what made today different from usual?
'There is no way he scored a girlfriend or even drank milk like what I did, right?' Jin thought inside his mind with a wry smile, but his brother suddenly stated.
"Guess what? A girl confessed to me earlier!"
And that settled the guessing game that he did inside his head. His brother, the one called one of the perverted trio, had been confessed by a girl?
It seemed like he was drunk from drinking too much milk to the point he heard something unbelievable from his brother's mouth. Something that could practically spell doom to the world.
"Hahahaha, Issei. Can you repeat it again?" Jin laughed, patting his brother's shoulder.
"Huh, sure. It seems that you are too tired from your date, huh? I said that a girl confessed to me earlier when I returned home from school. I left Matsuda and Motohama behind because I was in no mood to peek, and suddenly, a black-haired beauty stopped me and confessed her love to me!" Issei recited what he said in detail excitedly.
Jin suddenly froze in shock. His brother got stopped after school by a black-haired beauty and got confessed to?
Yeah, that was impossible. 'It's so fishy.' Jin thought.
"Are you sure it isn't a prank?" Jin asked seriously as he gripped Issei's shoulder with both hands. Issei's bone even cracked under pressure, and he winced in pain.
However, his brother still answered him.
"That's what I thought at first, but then, she proposed a date first. We will have a first date this Saturday. I am looking forward to it." Issei flashed his brightest smile that made Jin snap out of his thoughts.
The first thing that Jin did after he snapped out was to pull his hand away before running inside the house, entering the dining room where his mother and father were.
His mother was in the kitchen, wiping a plate with a clean cloth, while his father was drinking coffee as he sat on the chair, reading a magazine.
When he entered the room, he shouted loudly, "Mom! Dad! Hear me! Issei said a girl confessed to him!"
"What?!" His mother, Miki, shouted. The plate in her hand fell to the ground and got shattered. However, she didn't seem to care about that as she froze in her place.
At the same time, his father, Gorou, did a spit-take, bursting all coffee in his mouth to the magazine before he turned to Jin and asked.
"Did you say a girl confessed to Issei?! A girl was? Not his imagination?! Surely, not his alarm clock?!"
"Yes. It's the end of the world!" Jin stated, but he was interrupted by Issei, who had arrived behind him.
"It's not!"
Issei entered the room, looking at the three people who doubted him.
"It's a girl, yes. And I will have a date this Saturday!"
"T-Then" Miki mumbled before she shouted. "It's a party night! Dear! Our Issei has graduated from imagination!"
"Yes, dear!" Gorou answered, tears building up in the corner of his eyes. He wiped them and put the wet magazine on the table, "I am glad you graduated from those fake boobs, Issei."
"Mom Dad!" Issei got touched. He also wiped the tears that built up in the corner of his eyes. "Thank you!"
"Come here, Issei. Let's have some meat!"
The three of them then hugged each other. Jin was also invited to the hug, but he refused, saying he was smelly from walking around the town.
Finally, they ate an extravagant dinner that night. The dinner was lovely, and his brother was honestly happy for the first time ever. That put a smile on Jin's face, as he had never seen his brother be that happy.
His brother was indeed a pervert, but Jin knew there must be a reason for that pervert behavior of Issei. He had been with his brother for 18 years, and surely, he wasn't a pervert until a certain point in his life, when he entered high school.
Anyway, the dinner was fun. He then returned to his room afterward.
As soon as he was in the room, he flopped out on his bed, looking at his ceiling.
"A girl confessed to Issei, huh. That's very very suspicious. Need two very because it's so fishy. I smell something unusual here."
The timing couldn't be more right. He had awakened his System just this morning, then after school, the pervert Issei got confessed to by a beautiful girl.
"I need to find out about this girl. She might be something else other than a normal human that somehow got close to Issei in order to either target me because she knew my System, or she targeted Issei to play with him. Who knows? The only things I lack are information and the ability to protect myself."
Jin knew the supernatural from his System. There was a description of Magic in the note.
If there was Magic, there should be some Supernatural stuff hidden from the world, no? He was by all mean not stupid, so he quickly noticed something fishy about the girl that confessed to Issei.
"Well, if she's a normal girl, then I will teach Issei how to treat her like a gentleman. Maybe it's time to shatter his dream of Harem?" Jin chuckled, remembering that his brother suddenly yelled that he would be a Harem King when they got accepted to Kuoh School.
"Either way. If she is somehow dangerous, I will do what I can. That's to milk her and steal her ability before killing her. No hesitation in killing, right, Lady Luna?"
He stretched his arm above, remembering Lady Luna, that gave her another chance to live. Don't hesitate to kill your enemy; he now understands what Lady Luna meant.
Sleepiness began to come to him, and Jin closed his eyes slowly, letting his dream world to arrive.
