"Onee-san! What did you do?"
"How did you manage to attract a stalking!"
The black-ribboned Kotori, holding a lollipop, sneakily glanced back with some astonishment, then asked Yuki.
"Uh... how do you know she's after me and not you?"
Yuki retorted to Kotori.
Kotori rolled her eyes at his question.
"Don't I know you well enough! Every time you go out, you always attract a bunch of women."
"Haven't incidents like being stalked home happened plenty of times before?"
"Don't you know that Reine-nee and I have already chased away over a hundred people!"
Hearing this, Yuki awkwardly rubbed his nose.
What Kotori said wasn't an exaggeration at all.
During the first year after arriving in this world, whenever Yuki went out, besides being frequently harassed by those strange older sisters, he was also often stalked by strangers.
If it weren't for Mio and the others, Yuki would have probably been dragged into some dark little room by those pervert to become an emotionless stud machine (as if that would happen).
So, on the first day he was stalked, he used his Know-It-All skill to learn all sorts of martial arts and combat techniques for self-defense.
"Ahem, alright, actually, the one behind us is a classmate of mine. And she's also my deskmate."
Yuki then explained.
"Huh? Your deskmate?!"
"Then why is she following you?"
Hearing this, Kotori's mouth opened slightly in surprise, then her expression turned odd.
"If she's your deskmate, why doesn't she just come up and say hello? Why follow us for several blocks like this!"
"Maybe she's just a bit shy!"
Yuki made up a random excuse.
Shy? Yeah, right!
This was the famous Origami Master we're talking about; how could she possibly be shy.
"It's fine, I'll go ask her what's up."
"Oh!"
Kotori responded and then waited in place for Yuki.
Yuki quickly approached Tobiichi Origami.
Seeing Yuki get closer, Tobiichi Origami covered half her face with one hand, pretending not to know him, and turned her head away.
"Origami, what are you doing?"
Yuki asked.
However, Tobiichi Origami deepened her voice and continued pretending not to know Yuki.
"Origami? Are you asking me? Sorry, my name isn't Origami, I'm Gami Ori."
Tobiichi Origami turned her head up towards the sky, still pretending not to know Yuki.
Hearing this, Yuki didn't know where to even begin.
Just reversing the order of your name counts as a different name? Only you!
Yuki grabbed Origami's hand, pulled her over, and said helplessly:
"Alright, stop playing around!"
"Tell me, why are you following me? You don't come up to me, instead you're sneaking around like a obessesive pervert.
When Yuki said she was like a pervert, a blush appeared on Tobiichi Origami's face, and a flash of excitement passed through her eyes.
"Obessesive?!"
"That doesn't sound bad either!"
"That way, I could lock Yuki up at home, tie him to the bed, first beep—, then beep—, and finally beep—!!!"
As she spoke, the excited gleam in Tobiichi Origami's eyes grew brighter, making even Yuki feel a bit scared.
Good grief, this girl has evolved completely in another direction!
"Calm down! Calm down! Origami!"
"Given our relationship, you don't need to do that at all!"
Yuki then proceeded to correct Tobiichi Origami.
After a lot of earnest persuasion, he finally managed to pull Tobiichi Origami back from the edge of rape-dom.
"So why were you secretly following me?"
Yuki asked Tobiichi Origami.
She replied with her usual flat expression: "To find Yuki's house, so I can sneak attack at night!"
"Uh... that's not necessary! If you want to know where I live, I can tell you anytime!"
"Why go through all this trouble!"
Hearing that her goal was something so simple, Yuki didn't know what to say.
Back when Mio first took him in, she had taken on the alias "Reine" and was staying with the Itsuka family.
Her whereabouts weren't told to anyone, including Ellen and the others.
So even Tobiichi Origami didn't know Mio's location.
Mio's reasoning was simple: to prevent someone like Tobiichi Origami from suddenly appearing in front of Yuki and saying a bunch of weird things that would scare the Yuki of that time.
Of course, there might also have been some of Mio's personal motives involved.
But now that Yuki had already passed through that period, there was naturally no need to keep it a secret anymore.
Yuki then told her his current address.
After getting the address, Tobiichi Origami acted as if she had obtained a great treasure, excitedly hugging Yuki.
"Wait for me, Yuki."
After leaving these words, Tobiichi Origami quickly left.
However, precisely because of this hug from Tobiichi Origami, Kotori on the other side completely exploded!
Witnessing this scene, she was so angry she bit down hard and shattered the lollipop in her mouth.
What's with that woman! How dare she hug my brother so intimately!
'That look in her eyes just now... I feel like she was provoking me! How dare she!'
Kotori thought indignantly, her eyes looking like they could kill.
"Onee-san! What's up with that woman?"
"Why... why did she hug you?!"
Kotori stared intently at Yuki, her cheeks slightly reddening as she asked the last question.
"Uh... she's my classmate! My deskmate!"
Yuki explained.
"Deskmate? Does being deskmates mean you can hug each other so intimately?"
"Shameless woman!"
Kotori said angrily.
Even I haven't hugged him like that...
Kotori thought resentfully/ to herself.
Seeing this, Yuki sighed helplessly.
Then he simply picked Kotori up.
"Eh eh eh—!"
"W—Wait!"
"Old bro, what are you doing?!"
Suddenly feeling her body lifted off the ground and then entering her brother's arms, Kotori's face showed panic.
But inwardly, she was extremely excited and joyful.
"Alright, I'll carry Kotori home like this today!"
Yuki smiled faintly, holding Kotori in a princess carry.
Kotori's face instantly turned bright red. She buried her head directly in Yuki's chest, too embarrassed to face anyone.
"Muu~~~ Onee-san using this move again, it's just too sly~~~"
Kotori lay in Yuki's arms, voicing a protest.
But her heart was filled with immense sweetness and joy.
*My Onee-san's embrace after so long... hehe~~~
Yuki smiled faintly and didn't say much more.
After all, he had used this move countless times to verify its effectiveness on Kotori.
After returning home, Mio was still busy cooking in the kitchen like a virtuous wife and mother.
Over these thirty years, the bored Mio had channeled her energy into other areas.
Trying to keep herself from missing Yuki too much.
Studying culinary arts was one of those areas.
So Mio's cooking skills were quite good, praised not only by Yuki but also by Kotori.
After finishing dinner, Kotori sat in the living room, watching programs on the large virtual projection screen.
Yuki returned to his room.
He turned on the computer, switched his social media account from the "Thunder Fire Sword" one to his personal account.
On it, he saw many messages.
Among them, he noticed a message from Hitori Gotō, whom he had just met today.
Clicking on it, he found she had recalled dozens of messages, leaving only a final "Hello, Yuki-san, nice to meet you."
Seeing this, Yuki couldn't help but chuckle.
This style of chatting was very fitting for Bocchi-chan's personality.
Yuki then replied with a smiley face to her and proceeded to check his other messages.
Among the many messages, he clicked on one that stood out.
The reason it stood out was because the sender was a celebrity; her social media name was the same as her real name: Izayoi Miku.
