People born in that year were active in a variety of different worlds: sumo, baseball, politics, business…But one of the most remarkable of the remarkable individuals in those fields was Orikawa Maho. Her actual father, Orikawa Kotaro, was praised as the god of management, and she was born with a completely guaranteed future of freedom, but she used high school as an opportunity to become an independent entrepreneur, raising her business to become a large, worldwide corporation, boasting as to not have used a single penny of her family’s money.
She was the founding manager of a company with the world’s second-largest amount of shares in smartphones. She was even called the heroine of the age. Taiyou had known about her before even meeting her, and he hadn’t expected to meet her again in a place like this, but he would shortly be even further shocked.
“Good day, Big Sister. It is good to see you again.”
“Big Sister?”
“Do please stop calling me that.”
“But Big Sister is Big Sister. If I don’t call you that, then my other big sister will lecture me again.”
“Oh dear. I’ll have to leave it be then.”
Maho smiled in a refined manner, turning to Taiyou.
“Do you remember me?”
“Yes, it has really been a while. Ever since we met at that party, no?”
Taiyou made a slight bow. He was surprised right after he had seen Maho appear, but as she had gone ahead to converse with Enya, so he had been able to regain his composure during that time.
Maho settled down next to Enya, facing Taiyou. Completely different from earlier, Enya shrunk to the side as he looked at Maho.
“Is that person doing all right?”
“Indeed they are. Probably doing too well to the point where they’re difficult to handle.”
“That is good to hear.”
“Orikawa-san, what brings you here?”
“I was informed about a young person rampaging around Oritachi Town, and I also heard that they had pushed their way into Enya-kun’s place. I was curious about that.”
“Curious, you say?”
Taiyou furrowed his brow. He wasn’t sure why she would be curious about that. As if he were on to his question, Enya explained from the side.
“Big Sister is famous in this town, you see.”
“I see. So that was what Orikawa meant, ja.”
Kohaku expressed her understanding from the side.
“Indeed. It hasn’t been particularly disclosed to the public, but neither has it been concealed. Of course, I left my home in the first place, so I hardly have any connection as of today. I was concerned for the city that I was born and raised in, and that’s about it.”
“Aye, why don’t we just leave it at that…”
“Orikawa…Oritachi…Wait, seriously?”
Taiyou realized it after Kohaku. A woman from a prestigious family that shared the same rare letters as this town. Just like Juunishima, they were probably a family who was deeply related to the region, thought Taiyou. He looked at Maho, who was still smiling in a refined manner. In that case, he could come to terms with this. If all this was true, then there was nothing strange about her coming here.
“Still, this is quite the surprise. I prepared for some carnage when I rushed over here, but I never thought that I’d see you in the middle of a party.”
“Carnage?”
“I take it you like Buddhology?”
“Well, there was a time when I was known as The Delusional Woman.”
“That be a fine name. Personally, I’d like to be known as The Eternal Existence, ja.”
“You seem to love these sorts of things as well.”
“Aye, fierce love. Or should I say, Fierce☆LOVE?”
“It seems that I underestimated you.”
Maho said, smiling as she made a light bow. Taiyou couldn’t even understand half of what they were discussing. He only knew that they were doing some sort of play on words, so he purposely didn’t ask them to explain.
“From what I can see here, it seems that my fears were ungrounded.”
“Yeah! The five siblings have now exchanged their cups.”
“Enya-kun, you have a good eye.”
“Big Sister, you seem to be acquainted with Bro, but from when?”
“Enya-kun.”
“W-What’s up?”
Maho was staring straight at him, and Enya put his hands on his knees, sitting up straight. This little exchange between them clearly showed their status and relationship.
“I will not mention anything that has transpired in this room. However, you must also not tell anyone about this. Do you understand me?”
“Y-Yes!”
Enya said panickedly. After that, he shrunk back until she left.
“Who in the heck are you, Bro?”
After Maho had left, Enya asked Taiyou with a bit more composure.
“Who am I? I’m just a normal high schooler.”
“No way, man. What kind of normal high schooler brings a girl into an office of yakuza?”
“Aye, he has a point.”
Kohaku said, and Taiyou grimaced. True, by that point, you really couldn’t say that he was a normal high schooler. However, neither did Taiyou think that he had done anything to be asked who the heck he was.
“No, I really am just a regular high schooler. Maybe a bit abnormal in that I’ll do whatever it takes to protect my wives, but everything else is relatively normal.”
“And how did you come into contact with Big Sis?”
“I was invited by one of my wives—-not Kohaku-san, to a party a bit ago.”
“…And what was their name?”
“A girl by the name of Juunishima Youran.”
“…”
At that very moment, sweat began pouring out of Enya’s forehead. It was enough to make Taiyou himself feel painful.
“W-What’s the matter?”
“Please come sooner next time, Big Sis.”
“Huh?”
“That person mentioned it earlier, so I was wondering who they were talking about, but I didn’t think it was someone that freakin’ outstanding. I definitely can’t say I had drinks with you now. If this leaks out then I’ll be the one in trouble.”
“Is that so?”
“Geez, I never knew you were that high-up, Bro.”
Enya gulped down the rest of his sake.
“Needs to be 73…no, more like 2 and 8.”
Enya mumbled.
Now, that had a totally different meaning from before. Practically the opposite. He seemed to be fretting over that, but Taiyou hadn’t had the slightest intention of making him feel that way. He was fine with exchanging sake cups. Enya had acknowledged Taiyou, so he was fine with that.
“Enya-san.”
Sake cup in hand, Taiyou called Enya. With a natural movement, Kohaku filled his cup to the brim.
“I don’t know what we’ll be able to do now that we’re officially siblings, but I look forward to working with you from now on.”
“Siblings…”
“Are you not okay with that?”
“…Alright!”
Enya’s face showed that he was ready. He also took a cup filled to the brim, their cups making a clink sound as they toasted.
“Likewise, Bro.”
