It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

"Is there anything I need to be careful about?"

"No need, we don't have that many rules in our family, relax."

Iura Hide smiled and patted her head, giving her a reassuring smile, then took her hand and led her through the door.

"Tadaima~~~"

"The show's back?"

The distinctive sound made the mother, who had finished her chores and was watching TV in the living room, and Jizi, who was beside her, turn their heads to look over.

Unsurprisingly, both of them paused for a moment when they saw Hoshino Ai.

It's one thing for Iura Hide to bring a girl home for the first time, but to bring a girl who looks so young is just...

"Is this Kiko's classmate looking for Kiko?" This was the mother's first reaction.

And Kiko's first reaction was

"So Onii-chan isn't just a masochist, he's also a Love Live! fan?"

Although Iura Hide doesn't have mind-reading abilities, he can tell from the strange looks and expressions on the two women that they're definitely not thinking anything good.

"Ahem! This is Hoshino Ai, the lead singer of my band—"

"band?"

"Singer?"

Iura Hide's explanation only made the two of them widen their eyes even more.

Chapter 94 Hisako's Misunderstanding

However, Hideaki Iura continued to introduce himself, saying, "This is my mother, Hisako Iura, and this is my younger sister, Motoko Iura."

Perhaps it was Iura Hide's encouraging gaze that gave her strength. Although she had simulated the scene countless times in her mind on the way here, Hoshino Ai was still so nervous that her hands and feet were trembling with cold. After a moment of preparation, she finally managed to muster up her courage.

"Hello Aunt Hisako, hello little sister Motoko, I'm Hoshino Ai. I apologize for bothering you, but please take care of me!"

"Uh, I love you."

Hisako and Motoko were stunned for two or three seconds before they came to their senses and quickly got up to return the greeting.

“Ai will be staying at our house tonight. I’ll take her to choose a room first,” Iura Hide said, then, to their astonishment, he pulled Hoshino Ai upstairs.

Because of preconceived notions, it's hard for the two not to misunderstand this scene.

"Um... Oh my god, what's the relationship between Onii-chan and that Hoshino Ai?"

After an unknown amount of time, Kiko suddenly spoke up, her eyes still fixed on the direction the two had left.

Unfortunately, even Hisako Iura wasn't sure of the answer to this question.

What if it really is

"Should I warn Xiu to be careful not to cause a death?"

Thinking about this, Hisako Iura suddenly became restless.

"Hmm, it doesn't seem right to go straight up. Oh, right, I can cut some fruit and bring it up first!"

She casually put the remote control aside and quickly got up and walked towards the kitchen.

However, her worries were obviously unnecessary. Not to mention that Iura Hide didn't have any feelings for Hoshino Ai at the moment, even if he did, Hoshino Ai was still too young.

"This is my room. This is my sister Jiko's room."

"This is the restroom and bathroom. This room is specifically used to store the CDs I usually buy."

"The two rooms opposite are unoccupied, and the windows offer a nice view of the courtyard behind them."

On the second-floor corridor, Iura Hide led Hoshino Ai on a tour, introducing her to all the rooms one by one.

Hoshino Ai knew, of course, that Iura Shu wouldn't sleep in the same room as her, but when the moment actually arrived, while she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little disappointed for some reason.

"Huh? Disappointing. What are you thinking, you idiot?!"

Hoshino Ai's cheeks flushed, and she quickly glanced at Iura Hide beside her. Seeing that he hadn't noticed her little scheme, she felt relieved.

It has to be said that girls do mature earlier, especially Japanese girls in the world of anime and manga.

For example, in the Dragon King's Work.

Which room would you like to stay in?

"Okay, this one will do!"

In fact, the two guest rooms were decorated and laid out the same way, so Hoshino Ai only glanced at them briefly before choosing the room opposite Iura Hide with a certain thought in mind.

"The sheets and blankets are in the closet, and they're all brand new."

As Iura Hide spoke, he opened the closet, inside which were neatly arranged sheets, pillows, and blankets.

"Huh? Is this okay?"

Hoshino Ai was taken aback. A brand new quilt and sheets—should she use them?

"What do you mean, 'can' or 'can't'!"

Iura Hide couldn't help but smile and patted her head.

"But for now, I'll have to wear Ji-ko's clothes for the change of clothes, since you two are about the same size."

"Oh"

When Hoshino Ai came to her senses, she couldn't help but blush. It was the first time in her life that a boy had ever commented on her figure.

"Can you make your own bed?"

"Yeah, sure."

Hoshino Ai suppressed her shyness and quickly tried to appear calm as she spoke.

Because her mother never cared about her, only giving her two thousand yen a week as food expenses, she had to do everything herself from a young age, not only making her own bed but also washing clothes and cooking.

Of course, due to limited ingredients, her cooking skills weren't much better than Jiko's, and her best 'cooking' was 'kimbap'.

"Then you go make the bed first, and I'll go get you some clean clothes."

"The change of clothes should include underwear and panties, right?"

As Iura Hide turned and left, Hoshino Ai couldn't help but have this thought pop into her head, and blushed slightly.

Then she turned to look at the clean and spacious room, and a warm feeling that she had never felt before, whether in her childhood or during the two years she spent in the orphanage, welled up in her heart involuntarily.

"I wish I could live here forever."

As Hoshino Ai thought to herself, a faint starlight shone in her pure purple eyes, as clear as the starry sky.

"Oga-san, there's something I want to tell you—"

"No need to say anything, Ogasan understands. But you are still young, it would be bad if someone got killed. I'll go get you some balloons right now."

Iura Hisako, who was cutting fruit in the kitchen, immediately understood when she saw Iura Hide running over with a troubled expression, as if he wanted to say something. With an expression of someone who had been through it all, she very considerately took the initiative to speak.

But before she could finish speaking, Iura Hide was already stunned.

"what?"

"Causing someone to die?! With balloons?!"

"What is this all about?"

Seeing that Hisako Iura had already wiped her hands on her apron and was about to walk towards her bedroom, Shusai Iura finally came to his senses and hurriedly called out to her.

"Wait! Ogasa-san! It's not what you think!"

That's not what I wanted to tell you!

"I want to ask you to step in and help our family adopt Xiao Ai!"

Iura Hisako paused, and both she and Motoko, who was eavesdropping nearby, instinctively opened their mouths wide and exclaimed in surprise.

"What? You want our family to adopt that girl?"

"Yes, Xiao Ai is an orphan."

Iura Hide quickly told the two about Hoshino Ai's background, explaining that he had accidentally heard her sing and felt that she was really talented at singing. He also mentioned that he had written some songs suitable for girls to sing and was planning to form a band, so he thought he might as well have his family adopt Hoshino Ai.

"Otherwise, the orphanage where Xiao Ai lives is too far away, and the environment there is very basic. She doesn't even have any pocket money, so she can't even take the subway to come and rehearse together."

Iura Hideki came up with many excuses and reasons.

Knowing that Iura Hide would never lie about such serious matters, Iura Hisako and Motoko believed that what he said was true.

But whether it was a woman's intuition or not, they always felt that Iura Shu's feelings for Hoshino Ai went beyond that.

Of course, they didn't say it directly, otherwise Iura Shu would have been extremely embarrassed.

After all, when he watched "Pushing the Thread" in his previous life, he really liked the character Hoshino Ai.

And that song, I've probably watched the music video at least dozens of times.

Chapter 95 The Slowpoke

"Xiu, are you serious?"

After her initial shock, Hisako Iura's expression turned serious.

Although their family's financial situation meant they could easily adopt not only Hoshino Ai, but three or four more, adopting a child is no small matter for any family.

"Yes, Ogasan, I really hope our family can adopt Ai!"

Iura Shu's expression was equally serious. After all, if Hoshino Ai continued to stay in the orphanage, she might run into that unreliable idol company president again and go back to her old ways.

He didn't want Hoshino Ai's tragic fate to repeat itself.

"So what's your opinion, Motoko?" Hisako Iura turned to look at Motoko.

"I?"

"Yes, isn't Kiko a member of the family too?"

When asked this question, Kiko was taken aback and felt a sudden sense of panic.
