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

When Iura Hide came to his senses, he looked at Hoshino Ai's sweet smile and sighed inexplicably.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to treat Hoshino Ai as a simple little sister anymore.

The problem is, he already has a girlfriend!

"Shall I take you back to your room first?"

"Um"

Hoshino Ai nodded obediently. After confirming that no one was in the corridor, she tiptoed back to her room. Her well-behaved appearance was completely different from her previous bold demeanor.

However, after all that commotion last night, although she's not quite ready to treat this place like her own home yet, she's definitely much more relaxed than when she first arrived yesterday.

At least when we had breakfast together, she dared to lift her head.

Even in the orphanage, she always kept her head down while eating, like an abandoned, emaciated little animal, hiding alone in a corner, her whole body shrouded in shadow.

However, as someone who had been through it all, Iura Hisako couldn't help but shake her head when she saw Hoshino Ai's frequent glances at Iura Shu and the silly smile that she couldn't hide at the corner of her mouth.

"Looks like I should find some time to get a few small umbrellas for Xiu!" Hisako Iura thought to herself.

After breakfast, Hisako Iura took Ai Hoshino to the orphanage to complete the adoption process, and Hideya Iura, worried that she would be nervous and uneasy, went along as well.

"Child, would you like to be adopted by the Iura family?"

"Yes, Dean, I'm willing!"

Looking at Hoshino Ai, who seemed completely transformed, especially her sparkling eyes, Dean Takahashi couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Next comes the formalities.

Thanks to Iura Tadashi's prestigious status as vice president of the Kendo Association, the Iura family's excellent financial situation, and the relatively lenient adoption system in this world, the procedures were processed much faster than Iura Shu had imagined.

Although it wasn't like when Twilight adopted the Melon God, where he was taken away on the spot without even filling out a form, it was still done in just one morning.

Next, I need to complete the transfer procedures.

Hoshino Ai was originally in the first year of junior high school, but Iura Shu was worried that her personality would make it difficult for her to integrate into the new class after transferring schools, and that she would be isolated and bullied as before. So he discussed it with his mother and asked her to skip a grade and be in the same class as Motoko.

Because of his focus on studying, Ji Zi was seen as a gloomy and withdrawn guy by his classmates. Although he was not bullied by his classmates because of his glorious past, he did not have many friends.

If the two are in the same class, they can look out for each other at school.

As for the question of whether Hoshino Ai's learning progress will fall behind, it's easy to solve. Just have Motoko help her catch up on lessons from time to time.

Anyway, Hoshino Ai never thought about becoming a top student; being able to advance to the next level of education was enough for her.

"Then I'll go home first."

"Okay, bye-bye, Onii-chan!"

After having lunch at a fast food restaurant, Hisako Iura took Ai Hoshino to school, while Shu Iura took a takeout meal back to Kiko, who was left alone at home.

Although Ji Zi has been secretly studying recipes and learning to cook recently, after only a few days, she is still clumsy and awkward even when cutting vegetables, let alone cooking at home by herself. It makes people very worried that she might cut her hand.

"Xiao Ai, shall we set off too?"

“Yes, Oga-san.”

Hoshino Ai withdrew her gaze from Iura Hide and turned to look at Iura Hisako.

"Oga-san, can you tell me about Onii-chan?"

Iura Hisako was taken aback by his words, then couldn't help but smile and say, "Of course! Hidetoshi went to the same middle school as me. Back then, he was quite the star student."

At this moment, Iura Hide was unaware that his mother was chatting with Hoshino Ai about her glorious history in middle school. He had just boarded the subway when he received messages from Kasumigaoka Utaha and Ijichi Nijika.

"I knew it! There really isn't enough time!"

Iura Hide muttered something under his breath in exasperation, then thought for a moment before replying to Ijichi Nijika.

"I'm sorry, my sister and I both have things to do this afternoon, so we probably won't have time."

Inside the Starry Night Showroom, which hadn't yet opened for business that day, Ijichi Nijika, who was asking Sugaya Noiha about various information about Iura Shu, immediately perked up when she heard the notification sound of a new message and quickly picked up her phone.

Beside her, Sugaya Noiwa naturally wasn't going to be left behind. She seemed indifferent, but her eyes actually darted over in a flash.

Yamada Ryo, who was listening to music, quickly leaned closer to Ichi Nijika's phone, his face showing anticipation.

Although she is a girl, perhaps because of her personality, she especially likes this song.

So compared to Nijika Iji, she actually hopes to form a band with a 'genius' like Shu Iura.

Unfortunately, the three pairs of eyes quickly saw the message sent by Iura Hide, and then one by one they all showed expressions of disappointment.

"Well, he is indeed very busy usually, after all, he is so popular."

Sugaya Noi spoke first, but she almost accidentally revealed the secret that Iura Hide already had a girlfriend, and that the girlfriend was not her.

"But aren't geniuses supposed to be lonely?" Yamada Ryo muttered to himself, whether he was joking or genuinely thinking so was unclear.

"Idiot, do you think Iura-senpai is like you?" Ichiji Nijika couldn't help but retort.

But Yamada Ryo wasn't angry at all after hearing this; instead, he showed a smug expression.

"So, Hongxia, you also think I'm a genius?"

""

Nijika Ijichi was speechless, then picked up her phone and replied to Shu Iura:

"It's okay. Ryo and I work at Fanxing after school and on weekends. It's the performance hall you came to last night. You can come see me anytime you have time."

Iura Hide looked at her reply with a helpless expression.

If it's just a band with Kotori and Hoshino Ai, then practicing singing is enough to do in the school's club activity room.

After all, the middle school that Hoshino Ai attended was only about a kilometer away from their school, which wasn't far.

But if it's a band with Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo, then every time there's a singing practice, we have to go to Shimokitazawa.

However, he still replied with an "OK".

Well, although he hasn't decided whether to form a band with Ijichi Nijika yet, he would be happy to be friends with her.

"By the way, congratulations on your new song making it into the top three of the daily sales chart!"

Seeing the new message from Ijichi Nijika, Iura Shu was momentarily stunned.

"Top three?"

"I remember I was only in eighth place when I went to sleep last night, wasn't I?"

"By the way, it seems the rankings reset after midnight."

Iura Hide curiously opened the page to check the current data and rankings, and his eyes widened at the sight of it.

"Paid downloads with over 160 million views, ranked third on the daily sales charts!?"

"hiss--"

Iura Shu couldn't help but gasp, his first thought being...

"Nearly 100,000 downloads!? That means I could get over three million!?"

Even if it's in Japanese yen, that's not a small amount! Although he's still far from achieving financial freedom, with this money, he won't have to worry about money for a long time to come, whether it's recording songs or anything else.

"Oh, right, I should go and order a Shizuku Kuroe cosplay outfit for Haimeng first."

While thinking about this, Iura Hide replied to Ijichi Nijika with a thank you message.

Meanwhile, Kitagawa Kaimu, who was taking photos with Osora as a model for a fashion magazine, seemed to be feeling something as well. During her break, she picked up her phone again to check the latest data and couldn't be happier.

"What's wrong with Kitagawa? Did something good happen? I've seen her smiling at her phone all day. Could she be in love?"

A male model I knew, who was also there to shoot an advertisement, couldn't resist secretly approaching Da Kong.

“That’s right, you guessed it~” Da Kong glanced at him indifferently and said, “Hai Meng does have a boyfriend.”

"Huh? She really has a boyfriend? Who is he?" the man exclaimed involuntarily.

Judging from his excited appearance, he probably has some feelings for Kitagawa Kaimu.

"You don't need to know who she is," Da Kong shrugged. "Hai Meng didn't tell you, so I won't say more, but in short, she's much better than you."

""

The man was immediately devastated, and at the same time filled with envy for Iura Hide, whom he had never met.

After all, Kitagawa Kaimu's figure and looks are top-notch, even in the modeling world. I wonder how many guys have feelings for her.

However, when Daisora ​​looked at Kitagawa Kaimu, who was still 'smiling foolishly' at her phone in the corner, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't Iura-senpai just friends with Kasumigaoka Utaha?"

Even as Kitagawa Kaimu's friend, she had to admit that Kasumigaoka Utaha's looks were not much inferior to Kitagawa Kaimu's, and her figure was probably even better.

Especially for boys, Kasumigaoka Utaha might be more attractive.

Moreover, compared to Kitagawa Kaimu, who likes 18+ games and anime, Kasumigaoka Utaha, this 'literary girl', seems much more normal, right?

Fortunately, Iura Hide had no idea what Osora was thinking, otherwise he would have felt incredibly guilty.

After all, he was currently sending a message to Kasumigaoka Utaha.

As for the content

"You haven't forgotten, have you!"

"I had something to do early this morning, and I just took the subway home!"

"It will probably take another forty minutes or so to get there."

"Just come over when you see the time."

"I've sent you the address."

In a room filled with a literary atmosphere, various novels were neatly arranged on the bookshelves. Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been looking dissatisfied, finally relaxed her brows after reading the message sent by Iura Hide.

"Oh dear, oh dear, the girl who was rescued by the hero went alone to the boy's house. Sunlight streamed into the room through the open window, and a gentle breeze, carrying the faint scent of cherry blossoms, stirred the curtains. The boy and girl were close together at the desk."

What kind of story will unfold next?

Kasumigaoka Utaha unconsciously clasped her hands together, immersed in her own fantasy world, her cheeks flushed and her eyes becoming hazy.

However, the reality is...

"Huh? You're Iura-kun's sister?"
