Although he still kept the name Haruta Seiji, from the perspective of the family, he was no longer a member of the Haruta family … This was probably the meaning of "removing his name".
After listening to the explanation, Seiji touched his chin.
"From your tone, it sounds like a rather excessive matter, but I don't feel that it's real."
"You're really having a good time."
"That's right. I'm doing quite well, even if I'm not a member of the Haruta Family … No, I should say …" Seiji smiled. "I don't care if I'm recognized by my family. I only care if I'm recognized by you … my family."
Hana: "…"
The cat-eared hat girl felt an indescribable emotion in her heart.
"… Why?"
"Hmm?"
"Since you say you're from another world, why do you care about me and my sister?"
"This question … I thought you already knew the answer."
"I don't know! The way I see it, you're basically … "Hana paused for a moment, as she couldn't think of the right word to describe Seiji.
Initially, he didn't want to think too much about it. Everything would be fine as long as he carried on like this, but … as expected, there were still times when he couldn't suppress his emotions.
Her understanding of the current him, her understanding of the past him, the theory that he was a reincarnator and a hero from a different world … All of this mixed together to form something that even she herself did not understand. She could not find the essence of it.
It was as if he was surrounded by countless fragments and couldn't see their true shape.
He wanted an answer … but was there really an answer?
"The answer is simple. I'm embarrassed to say it out loud." Seiji scratched his face. "Because … I like you guys."
"Eh?" Hana paused in surprise.
"As for why I care about you and Yui, that's because I think that you're both good girls, and I like you." Seiji suppressed his embarrassment and said straightforwardly, "If I want to have a good relationship with the girl I like, it's natural for me to be a man."
Taking over the body and feeling responsible was indeed an important reason.
But in the end, it was because he had a good impression of these two beautiful sisters, so he wanted to get along with them. It was as simple as that.
Hana had a stunned expression behind her mask.
It was actually such an answer?
This is really … really …
"Do you really think you're the male lead of a harem anime!?"
"I knew you would say that, so I didn't want to say it!"
Hana's face flushed red.
Seiji also blushed.
"I don't think of myself as the main character of a harem! But as a man, as a man, it was only natural for him to want to have a good relationship with a beautiful sister with a good personality, right!? Any man would definitely want to do this!! "
"That's the thought process of a harem protagonist, you pervert! Don't think that all the boys in the world think the same as you!! "
"No! I'm sure that all the normal guys in the world have the same thoughts as me! Unless there's something wrong with their brains or they're broken, then they're different!! "
"Don't treat your harem brain as a universal benchmark! Apologize to all the normal men in the world, you bastard!! "
"I refuse to admit that a man who doesn't even have such thoughts is normal!!"
"You shameless perverted harem protagonist! Hurry up and die! "
"If I could become a harem main character, I'd really like to be one, thank you!!"
The two siblings argued for a while through the computer screen.
"… Let's not talk about it anymore. Harem brains are incurable."
"Like I said, this is a very normal male mentality …"
Both sides stared at each other in silence for a moment.
Then, they both sighed in unison.
"Honestly, so you're just a simple pervert … Just what was I so annoyed about just now?"
"I knew it, I thought that you already knew … Why did you ask?"
"… Only the heavens know." Hana averted her gaze.
It was great that she was wearing a mask. He didn't see her expression.
'It's just because I like you … what an incredibly boring answer.'
'But, I'm just as bored …' She thought to herself as she felt her face and chest heating up.
The confusion in her heart had completely vanished.
But on the surface …
"Now that I know your true nature, I need to be more vigilant."
"I told you … my 'like' is the normal type of 'like' that gives me a good impression. I don't have any other thoughts." Seiji sighed. "I just want to become an ordinary family member with all of you. That's all."
"Hmph …" Hana looked towards him again. "If you want your older sister to truly care about you, the best method is to defeat her … Go and conquer her as the harem protagonist!"
"So, just what are you like? You suddenly hate me and then change your mind? I don't understand! "
"Stop nagging! At any rate, it's fine as long as I encourage you to achieve my goal. After that, I can just deal with you based on the situation. "
"So that's what you're thinking!?"
His own younger sister was actually a major antagonist?
"Of course it's just a joke. I wouldn't have told you if that was really the case."
"I think so as well …"
"That was only the original plan."
"You really wanted to do that!?"
"Don't be so surprised. It's just a normal thing."
"No, no, this isn't normal at all!"
"At any rate, you need to have the conviction to defeat your older sister. If you don't have a firm resolution, you won't have any chance of winning," Hana told him seriously.
"… I really care about what your current plan is." Seiji folded his arms. "But … alright, I'll have a firm resolution."
"That's more like it."
"You said that we're working together, and that you'll help me … then I have a request right now."
"What is it?"
"Give me Yui's cell phone number."
Hana was rendered speechless.
"Why do you want my older sister's cell phone number?" she asked in surprise.
"Of course, to contact her."
"Contact her for what?"
"To explain the situation to her."
"Are you … an idiot!!?"
"No, it's precisely because I'm not an idiot that I'm doing this," Seiji told her seriously. "I agreed to help you deal with Yui because you're my younger sister. However, this doesn't mean that I'm going to stand against her. "
The cat-eared hat girl stared at him in a daze, unable to say anything.
…
Yui Haruta received a phone call.
She raised her eyebrows when she saw the caller ID, and then picked up.
"Hello, is this Sister Yui?" A boy's voice that she found both strange and familiar spoke up.
"… I am."
"I'm Seiji. I'm sorry to suddenly bother you, but something happened," the voice on the other end said calmly. "Hana offered to team up with me to defeat you together. I agreed."
"Hmm?" The black-haired girl furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
This was quite easy to understand, but she didn't understand the situation.
"I don't know the specific reason. Hana wouldn't tell me. But even so, I still agreed to help her," Seiji continued.
"You should know what's going on. If you don't know, you can ask her.
Right now, we're definitely no match for you. However, we'll do our best.
If you allow us to do this, then we'll continue.
If you don't allow it, then there's nothing we can do about it. We can only immediately admit defeat.
Sister … Yui Haruta, what's your response? "
Yui was rendered speechless.
'Ridiculous!'
That was her first impression.
But after thinking about it carefully for a few moments, she smiled with an incredibly beautiful smile.
