Atarashii no Ie!! (A New Home!!)

Finally, Ryuuto Magihagi, steps in rightfully in the Magihagi household.

The Magihagi household has two daughters, one mother, no father, and now, one son.

The oldest sister, Fuumi Kanaka, is already married to a man named Satoki Kanaka, and is working as a corporate office secretary.

The youngest sister, on the other hand, is still a second year high schooler, twelve years old in age. And, yes, she's a genius. She estimates that she will graduate high school and pass a foreign college exam at the age of fifteen, which is a really optimistic estimate. And yet, she says, that that is the most negative estimate.

And the reason that Ryuuto Magihagi is adopted into this family, because they were the nearest relative to the Tsumiyoto family, but Ryuuto is unusually elated.

But, there is still more to come.

Then, Miyuka starts to announce after Ryuuto has settled in, "So, the rules of the household are:

Rule One! No peeking into girls room, you pervert!

Rule Two! No peeking in the bath while someone else is using it, you pervert!

Rule Three! No harassing or undressing any of us, you pervert!"

"Seriously?" Ryuuto groans. "Do you have to add 'you pervert!' to everything?"

"Yes! That's what I'll call you, you pervert!"

"Two you's in the same sentence!?"

"Rule Five! No watching porn or hentai in this house, you pervert!"

"What's porn?" Ryuuto asks innocently.

"Wh-what? You know what that is!"

"No, seriously, if you don't define which is porn and which is not, then I might not be able to watch any TV shows normally, can I?"

"You don't have to know the boundaries, do you? You are not dumb, are you!?"

Ryuuto sighs, "Alright, fine." Ryuuto faces away from her and whispers, "It'll be your fault if I watch anything though."

"What did you say!?"

"Nothing. If it's not heard, then it doesn't exist."

"That doesn't make sense!"

"To me it does."

"Oh, shut up! Don't interrupt me! You can ask questions at the end!"

"Okay," Ryuuto deeply sighs again.

"Rule Six-"

"Wasn't it Rule Five?"

"Wait, really? Rule- wait!! Don't you try to trick me, you idiot!!"

"I think you're the idiot though. Wait, weren't you suppose to call me 'you pervert'?"

"S-shut up! Didn't I tell you to not interrupt me, you pervert!?"

Ryuuto stays silent this time and Miyuka takes a deep breath.

"Rule Six! Rule Six okay? You pervert! Rule Six. We take turns in cleaning dishes, bathrooms, sweeping the house and the backyard. And here's a table right here," Miyuka places a laminated paper on the table. "You pervert!"

The paper had grids. Each columns are assigned to each day, and the rows are assigned to a chore indicated by a cartoonish picture obviously cropped from the internet. And the assignments of the family members are represented by their own pictures.

"Isn't this kind of thing only used in dormitories?" Ryuuto asks.

"Well, if you're living in this house, you can only abide, you pervert."

"Then, where's my picture?"

"It's already there."

"Where?"

"The blank spots are your pictures."

"You're not going to bother to put my pictures there?"

"With how you treated me, and my sister, of course not! But if you want to be recognized so much, then you can place them yourself, you pervert!"

"Eh? How horrible." Ryuuto bows his head and starts sniffing. "H-how could you do this to your little brother? You are just adding to the pain that I've been through losing my mother!" Ryuuto starts crying, and his tears fall to the ground

"Ryuuto... I-"

"I've only wanted love and care my entire life, but this new family won't give that to me!"

"I-I'm sorry, Ryuuto. I-I will put a good and handsome picture of you in this table. So please stop crying!"

Still, Ryuuto continued to cry, refusing to succumb to Miyuka's nudges.

"I'm sorry! I won't call pervert anymore too!"

With a cracking voice, Ryuuto speaks, "Y-you promise?"

"Yes, I promise. Give me your hand." Miyuka takes Ryuuto's hand and wraps her pinky finger around his. "There, it's set in stone."

Ryuuto chortles.

"W-what's wrong?"

Ryuuto's expression changes, "Is what I would've said, and you fell for it!"

"Wha-! W-was that all an act!?"

"Of course! Why would I do such a pitiful thing! But, you fell for it!"

"You-!!"

"You promised now!"

"Nhaagghhh!!" Miyuka snaps Ryuuto's pinky in rage.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhh!!!! My finger!!!" is a scream that resounded throughout the neighborhood.

***

In his room Ryuuto groans as he mourns for his pinky finger. "H-how can I play computer games now? I can barely move my mouse!!"

His finger is wrapped by a thick bandage to prevent it from moving, which in turn avoids the pain.

"That damned sister! I'll get her back for this!!"

Then, his room's door opens. And a beautiful, mature woman in a white blouse, pencil skirts and high stilts appears. "Ryuuto? Are you alright? Please forgive Miyuka for what she did to you! I already reprimanded her for this," she bows deeply.

Suddenly, Ryuuto wears a smiling mask, one of that of a harem's protagonist. A smile so innocent and charming that it would capture any woman's heart, but of course, not the mothers. She was already in love, and in no way will she fall in love again.

But, somehow, in her eyes, Ryuuto is flashing and sparkling of greatness, surpassing even her ex-husband.

"It's alright," Ryuuto says in a warm voice. "It didn't bother me." Ryuuto comes close to mother Magihagi, "I understand how hard it is to accept a new member into your family. I will do my best to please you all!" He finishes with a deep and sincere bow.

"What an amazing boy! If he wasn't so young, I would have kissed him!" is her thought, quite shameful of a mother. "B-but, of course, I can't fall in love with my son, even if he's adopted!"

The blushing mother is speechless. So speechless that she only left the room.

This unxeplainable phenomenon of Ryuuto charming older women can be explained to this glasses. His glasses serve as his veil to his handsomeness. And he isn't wearing them.

And it's time to eat dinner, for it's already evening.
