Chapter 4

An hour later, my mom and dad came back.

They were good-looking people to begin with, but now, they were as thin and gaunt just like my sister.

They must have been very worried about me...

 I felt my chest tighten as my mother sobbed while hugging me.

When I looked at the two of them, who were so skinny, I promised in the bottom of my heart that I would take care of them.

"They're such good parents~ I didn't think they'd accept me this quickly~" (Natalie)

After I returned to my room, Natalie spoke to me happily.

She was quite happy that my parents had told her that she could stay at home if she was my war buddy, and she smirked at me, looking up at me.

She was my comrades-in-arms so my parents told her that she could stay at home, because of that she was quite happy right. So happy that she has a grin plastered on her face while looking at me.

The grin on her face makes me want to be a little nasty on her.

"To be honest, I was hoping that she would say, "I'll never give you my son!" Or something like that…" (Takashi)

"That's a shame~ but maybe because they saw how wonderful I am on the inside~? Fufufu~" (Natalie)

I was trying to stir her up, but she stirred me up instead.

I think they accepted you because you didn't show what you are in the inside , okay? So don't get carried away.

"I mean~ do you want to tell them~?" (Natalie

"Tell them, what?" (Takashi)

"About Takashi's body." (Natalie)

Natalie's voice suddenly becomes serious.

She looked me straight in the eyes so I answered seriously.

"You don't have to tell them anything. Besides, our bodies are classified as Military secrets." (Takashi)

"We don't have to keep this as a secret, right? There's nothing the military can do to stop us anyway." (Natalie)

No, she's right, I don't want to get in any trouble.

"Honestly, I was going to tell my mom and dad when I meet them again. But then I saw that… scene and I couldn't tell them..." (Takashi)

"Ahh~it's true that your mother's joy was extraordinary~" (Natalie)

"When someone cries like that, it's… hard to tell them. I can't tell them that I've been altered…" (Takashi)

No one will be happy if I tell them. If that's the case, it's better not to tell them.

I can at least read the atmosphere. That's for sure.

"It doesn't interfere with my daily life so I'm going to keep it a secret for the rest of my life. No one will be happy if I tell them." (Takashi)

"Then don't let them find out~! Takasui is pretty careless in some places so be careful~" (Natalie)

"You have a point." (Takashi

Then Natalie laughs.

This is what I like about this guy. She worries about me, but she doesn't interfere too much.

It's very easy to be with her.

As we were laughing at each other. My sister, who was holding a pillow, broke into the room.

"Heh, I'll keep an eye on you guys today to make sure you don't start doing anything weird!" (Nee-san)

She looks over at us and declares in a high-pitched voice.

I'm not sure what she's misunderstanding, but I can sense her strong will. It seems that she's planning to sleep with us today.

"Onee-cha~n, what do you mean by 'doing anything weird~'? I'm a pure innocent girl, can you please teach me~?" (Natalie)

"Ah...eh...uuu…" (Nee-san)

My sister is at a loss for words as she sobs. So I don't have a choice but to give her some help.

"I'll teach her for you, Nee-san. Here, get down on all fours on that bed. I'm going to put it on you!" (Takashi)

"What? Eh? Ta-Takasui are you serious!? I-I'm so happy! I'm going to take a shower now!" (Natalie)

"Don't take it seriously. It's a reaction I know." (Takashi)

If you're going to play dumb and say you don't know, I was going to use my body to teach you.

When my sister saw us flirting with each other, she hurriedly interrupted us.

"A-As I thought you two are impure after all… t-this is unacceptable! I will not allow this!" (Nee-san)

"I think it's wrong to dismiss the clash of love and affection as impure! It's blasphemy against sex!"(Takashi)

"Whose side are you on, Ta-kun…?"(Nee-san)

Nee-san said with a teary look on her face.

Anyways, There's something I wanted to ask her. I'm going to ask her now while I still can.

"Does Nee-san's highschool wear a uniform? Or Plain clothes? Which one is it?"(Takashi)

"Eh? It's uniform, I guess"(Nee-san)

"Natalie you've heard her!! We're transferring to Nee-san's highschool!!(Takashi)

High school uniforms are the way to go. This is the only thing I can't compromise.

"Ehh~… I'm going to Takasui's highschool.. so I'm fine~"(Natalie)

Natalie, who is lying on the bed, refuses to go.

I knew she would say that.

"It's gonna be fun! Come and enjoy it with me!"(Takashi)

"No way~... why do I have to start living in a group again after being released from it~? I had enough~"(Natalie)

"Don't mix the military with high school! It's a lot more fun than that! So, let's go together, okay!?"(Takashi)

"I don't want to~... School is so boring~..."(Natalie)

Natalie roughly shook her head.

I held her head down and put my face as close to hers as possible.

"I'll make Natalie's high school life interesting! I promise! So let's go together!"(Takashi)

When Natalie heard what I said, she gave me an annoyed smile.

"I wonder if that's true~ if it's not fun, take responsibility okay~?"(Natalie)

"I'm going to make you cry when you graduate and tell you how much fun high school was. You better be ready!"(Takashi)

"Uhehehehe~ I'll look forward to it~"(Natalie)

Natalie licks her tongue and smiles with somewhat cloudy eyes.

This guy has helped me a lot in the past. We've come all this way to Japan. So I'm going to do my best to give her an ordinary high school life.

"Ta-Ta-kun, you're going to attend my highschool?"(Nee-san)

"Yeah."(Takashi)

"N-no way… this is like a dream come true…gusu…"(Nee-san)

When my sister heard our conversation, her eyes started to tear up again.

Nee-san was smiling so happily, but I immediately put a nail on it.

"I have to pass a transfer exam, so I don't know if I can go yet."(Takashi)

"Eh~? Are you going to study, Takasui? Let's talk to the military and ask them to help us transfer~"(Natalie)

No way.

I don't want anything to do with the military anymore.

"If I go to the military, they'll know I came back for war again and I'll look bad. So, no way! I just want to have a normal high school life!"(Takashi)

"That's not what a triumphant warrior would say~..."(Natalie)

Natalie laughs in disgust.

No matter what they say, I can't give up what I can't give up. 

"So why don't we study hard and transfer to a normal school? That way, we won't stand out."(Takashi)

"What a pain in the ass~..."(Natalie)

"Natalie's got all the skills you need! Let's do our best!(Takashi)

"Yes~…"(Natalie)

Natalie said so while fluttering her hands in the air.

She looks unmotivated, but I'm in more trouble than her.

To be honest, my academic skills are worse than hers.

So I made up my mind to start studying for the exam right away.
