At night.

Kirino hid under the covers and cried.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to find a friend to confide in. Her finger scrolled through her phone's contact list.

Ayase.

Kanako.

No way!

What they hated the most was the otaku in Class A.

"Life consultation. Who should I look for?" Kirino rolled around on the bed, looking frantic.

Older brother...

He is just too pathetic!

Kirino shook her head, rejecting the idea of consulting her older brother. For something like this, she needed to find someone reliable.

In her mind, the image of that handsome, dashing, and exceptionally charismatic man involuntarily appeared.

She picked up her phone and found Tenya, whom she had just added as a friend today.

Life consultation?

Are you sure you're looking for me?

Did you get the script wrong?

After receiving the message from Kirino last night, Tenya was very surprised at first.

According to the original plot, Kirino should have gone to her older brother to talk, so why would she come to him?

However, it wasn't a big deal.

Tenya replied, agreeing to meet the other party tomorrow.

The next day.

A milk tea shop in Chiba.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Tenya-kun." Kirino hurried over in flat sandals.

A pink blouse with white lace design on the cuffs, and a pleated mini skirt perfectly accentuated her long, beautiful legs.

As expected of someone who is a model, her fashion sense and makeup were very eye-catching.

"Today's Kirino-san is as refreshing as ever." Tenya praised.

"Thank you. You can just call me Kirino." Kirino's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said shyly.

The two ordered a cup of milk tea each and exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

"Kirino, if you have any worries, just tell me directly."

Seeing the other party hesitating, Tenya spoke up.

"Um..."

"Well, Tenya-kun, what do you think of otaku girls?" Kirino asked weakly.

"What do I think? Pretty normal. I have quite a few otaku girls around me."

Tenya stated that he never discriminated against otaku girls.

"Uh, I mean..."

"It's the kind of otaku girl with slightly unique interests." Kirino was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

"For example, those who like R-18 Eromanga?" Tenya listened to her inner thoughts.

"Eh!"

"This... this... this..."

Caught off guard and hit by his words, Kirino was instantly broken, stammering and unable to speak.

"Kirino, you don't have to feel ashamed. Curiosity about sex in a young girl is normal behavior." Tenya comforted her patiently.

"B-but..."

"None of my friends are like this."

Kirino lowered her head, her eyes becoming dim.

Being unable to discuss with friends and not finding people with similar hobbies was the most painful part.

"You just haven't met them yet. I have one around me, a high school girl not much older than you."

"She's an excellent student in school, but her hidden identity is an author of R-18 manga."

"You can search for her, her pen name is Kashiwagi Eri."

To increase credibility, Tenya even used Eriri as an example.

"Really? You're not lying to me?" Kirino looked up, a glimmer of light returning to her dim eyes.

...

"Thank you, Tenya-kun."

"Looking for you for life consultation was the most correct choice in my life."

After Tenya's careful guidance, Kirino finally resolved her inner turmoil.

"Solving my sister's troubles is an older brother's duty."

"Kirino, if you have any more worries in the future, you can always come to older brother to discuss them, okay?"

Tenya took the opportunity to hold the other party's small hand.

[Ding!]

[Discovered Treasure Chest Holder discovered: Kōsaka Kirino]

[Extract?]

'Extract.'

[Opening A-rank Treasure Chest... Congratulations to the Host on obtaining Observation Haki]

[It makes the five senses sharp, leading to extrasensory perception, sensing attacks, predicting the opponent's next move, and even foreseeing the future!]

With this, the three types of Haki are finally complete.

However, for the current Tenya, the ability of Observation Haki is just icing on the cake, nothing special to mention.

"Mhm."

"Brother Tenya."

A blush spread across Kirino's cheeks.

With her inherent brother complex, she was very dissatisfied with her own older brother, Kyousuke, while Tenya in front of her fulfilled all her fantasies of a "perfect older brother".

"Kirino?"

A girl with long black hair and a white dress walked towards them.

"Ee! Found a handsome guy."

Beside her was a girl in a red dress with twin pigtails, curiously looking at the boy opposite her friend.

"Ayase?"

"Kanako?"

"You, why are you here?"

Kirino's expression froze, and she asked awkwardly.

"We had a photo shoot nearby today."

"Speaking of which, this is...?" Ayase cast a curious gaze.

"I am Kirino's older brother, Yoshida Tenya, please take care of me." Tenya said without hesitation.

"Kirino's older brother? Although you're handsome, you don't look like Kirino at all."

Ayase was smart and not so easily fooled.

"Your surname is Yoshida, not at all like Kirino's surname, who are you trying to fool?" Kanako put her hands on her hips and retorted.

"Maybe Kirino and I are biological siblings from different fathers and mothers?" Tenya spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"Pfft!"

"Biological siblings from different fathers and mothers?"

"What kind of niche phrase is that?"

"So funny!"

The three girls laughed heartily.

"Two lovely girls. Come sit down, older brother will treat you to milk tea." Tenya invited the two girls to sit down.

"Really?"

"Won't we be interrupting your date with Kirino?"

Ayase was someone who understood people's hearts.
