How I, a Hated Person, Ended Up Staying With Three Beautiful Sisters
The first Monday after the exam, in the classroom after school.
“I’m going to hand out the midterm exam results.”
The class buzzed with excitement at the homeroom teacher’s voice.
That’s understandable, since grades are directly linked to report cards, and some parents’ attitudes change depending on them.
As for me, I wasn’t particularly nervous and received my test results without emotion.
The results: an average of 97 points in all subjects. I maintained my position as the top student in the grade.
I wasn’t surprised. Rather, it was only natural.
If I couldn’t get this score, it would be meaningless.
Studying was the only thing I, a lonely person, could accumulate.
If I made an effort, it wouldn’t betray me, and I wouldn’t have to worry about anyone else’s feelings.
Even though I was lonely, when I sat at my desk, time passed, and the correct answers were always there.
So, I just kept doing what I had been doing.
To keep myself from becoming empty.
With the noise of the classroom behind me, I stuffed my answer sheet into my bag and headed home.
When I returned to the apartment that evening, no one was there.
“…Unusual.”
There was usually someone in the living room, but today it was quiet.
The temperature had risen, and I was a little sweaty, so I reflexively headed for the bathroom.
I’ll just take a shower. If I finish quickly, it should be fine.
With that in mind, I opened the door to the changing room, and at that moment—
“………”
“………”
Standing there in her underwear, holding her half-undressed clothes, was Miyu.
“S-sorry ! I’ll leave right away—”
As I turned around, something flew toward me.
Thud.
It was a bar of soap that hit me in the face.
My body floated up instantly, and the next moment, I was looking up at the ceiling and everything went black.
Not again…I thought, but my consciousness sank into the depths of darkness.
When I woke up, I was lying on my back on the sofa.
My hands and feet were securely tied with rope.
It had been several days since I had been restrained. I hated myself for feeling nostalgic about it.
“…What is”
As soon as I spoke, Maho appeared in my field of vision.
She was frowning, clearly in a bad mood.
“Explain yourself.”
“Explain?”
“Yes. Hurry up and explain yourself !”
“It was an accident. When I opened the bathroom door, Miyu was—”
“Normally, you’d at least knock, right!? You pervert ! !”
“But there were no shoes at the entrance and no one was around…damn it ! This sounds like an excuse !”
“Shut up. Explain it concisely without complaining. What were you planning?”
While Maho interrogated me harshly, Miyu was rummaging through my bag.
“Hey, Miyu ! What are you doing…!”
“I’m just checking for anything suspicious. You’re so anxious, maybe you brought another weird book?”
“No way. There’s nothing in there, so searching is pointless.”
Ignoring my protests, Miyu continued rummaging through my bag.
Then, she picked something up and her expression changed.
“…Oh, this…is this a report card? From the midterm exams?”
The moment Miyu took out the paper, Maho snatched it out of curiosity.
“Huh ! Let me see ! Let’s see…eh !? What? Are you serious?”
“Yes.”
Maho’s mouth fell open in shock, and Miyu, who was peering at it, stared wide-eyed in a daze.
“What’s wrong? Is the interrogation over? I bought some new tea leaves, so I want to drink it with everyone.”
Akane senpai, who was casually preparing tea, asked me with a puzzled look on her face.
This free-spirited person is the only one who doesn’t seem to suspect me.
“Akane senpai, those two took my midterm exam report card. They’re looking at it without permission right now.”
“Oh, well, maybe I’ll take a look too…hm? Am I seeing things? It looks like you only got 95 to 100 points in all subjects…”
Akane senpai rubbed her eyes repeatedly, looked at the report card, tilted her head, and shook her wine-red short hair.
“…It’s not a mistake.”
After all, the average is 97 points.
“Wow, that’s amazing ! Kojiro kun is so talented ! That’s really impressive !”
“It’s not like I have any special talent.”
I kept my eyes on the ceiling and spoke quietly.
“I was just bored because I was always alone. That’s all.”
I couldn’t answer if someone asked me why. I don’t want to become an outstanding doctor, nor do I want to go to a top-tier university and work overseas. My parents never forced me to study.
It was just that studying was the only thing I could focus on silently.
“Onii chan you’re doing well.”
A single, quiet remark.
The tone wasn’t his usual sleepy one, but slightly strained.
It had the relaxed tone of someone who had found a worthy rival.
I decided to ask.
“By the way, how did the three of you do on the exam?”
“Gulp !”
“Shut up !”
“No comment.”
All three of them looked away.
However, when I stared at them, Akane senpai, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up.
“Almost all of us were remedial !”
Following Akane senpai, Maho and Miyu also spoke up.
“Well, we prioritized hanging out with friends, so exams were secondar y! It’s not like we can’t study—”
“….I’m different from the two of them.”
An unexpected declaration of total failure.
Seeing the three of them come up with different excuses as if they had planned it, I couldn’t help but look up at the sky.
Then Akame senpai clapped her hands.
“That’s right ! Kojiro-kun, how about you teach us !”
…Please don’t. I beg you.
“Well, that’s a bit…”
As I stammered, Akane senpai stood up straight and took a step forward.
“I may look like this, but I’m trying my best with cooking, and I wake you up in the morning too. I really appreciate what you’ve done, but it would be a big help if you could teach me. I’ll give you plenty of thanks. So…please?”
“Ugh…”
The weakness of my position in this house suddenly reared its ugly head.
I’m woken up in the morning, given breakfast, and above all, I’m just a temporary resident. I can’t say anything to defend myself.
Reluctantly, I opened my mouth.
“…Alright. I’ll help you. But I’ll only be here for about three more weeks. That’s all.”
“Yay ! You’re the best, Kojiro kun !”
Akane senpai raised both hands and jumped for joy.
“Is it okay if I only teach Akane senpai?”
“No way ! You have to teach Maho chan and Miyu chan too !”
“No, I can’t just do it on a whim…haa, fine.”
I was tired of refusing, so I reluctantly agreed.
Miyu stared blankly into space, clearly uninterested, and finally, Maho said,
“I’ll pass.”
Her answer was immediate.
“Why? You’re failing, right?”
“I’m not failing by much, and I’m not in remedial classes. Besides, studying with him is a joke, isn’t it?”
Turning her face away, Maho crossed her arms on the back of the sofa.
“The next exam will probably be okay too…I think.”
There was a hint of uncertainty in the word “probably,” but it was her way of showing her determination.
However, Akane senpai immediately interjected.
“Come on, it might be fun if we study together, right? Right?”
“Absolutely not. Unless Akane does it for me?”
“Sorry, I don’t think I can do that.”
It didn’t work.
I leaned back on the sofa and exhaled deeply.
“…Anyway, can you untie me? I’m innocent.”
“No way. As punishment for seeing Miyu naked, you’ll stay like that until dinner.”
“But…”
There were about two hours left until dinner.
I looked at the digital clock on the TV stand and exhaled. Then, Miyu came up in front of me with a mature smile.
“Since you saw me naked, you have to marry me, okay?”
“Don’t be ridiculous. I only saw you in your underwear.”
I immediately laughed and pushed her away, and she puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
It’s not that easy to say, “marry me.”
“Take better care of yourself.”
“You shouldn’t say that, Kojiro kun.”
Setting aside Akane senpai’s retort,
“It’s fine. I’ve always been like this, and no matter how much I hurt myself, it doesn’t affect me. But Miyu is cute, as you can see, so you shouldn’t say such things lightly. Got it? Only say that to someone who cares.”
“……Yeah.”
Miyu turned her face away from me and replied, then headed to her room at an uncharacteristically fast pace. The door slammed shut.
I don’t understand, but it seems she understood.
“You’re a billion years too early to try to seduce Miyu. If you do anything weird, remember this ! I’ll kill you !”
“Oh my…you need to get serious, sister.”
Maho glared at me with a crazed expression, while Akane senpai spoke with a tone of confidence.
If I do anything to Miyu, I’ll die. I’ll have to keep my distance…at worst, I’ll accept being kicked out, but I’d rather not be killed.
