Chapter 211: [Central Cleaning]

“Oh, really~. Onee-chan, will you show it to Mai too~?”

Mai stood up with an expressionless face, attempting to invade my room.

Angu Ogu and I tried to stop her somehow.

“Wow, Mai! Stop, stop! It’s my room, so it’s not okay for you to enter without permission!?”

“Why not? You used to let me in when we were in Japan, right~?”

“Huh!?”

“Oh, that! Iroha is also a ‘secret lover,’ right? Well, this is a peaceful place.”

“Wow, Angu-san, you know a lot about Iroha-chan, huh~?”

“Eh!?”

“I’ll intrude then.”

Despite our desperate resistance, Mai broke through.

With fear, we cautiously followed her into the room.

“Really, two pillows. And sniff... this smell, one of them isn’t Iroha-chan’s, huh~?”

Mai turned around with a creaking, almost robot-like movement.

The moment we saw her face, Angu Ogu and I embraced each other in fear.

“On the same bed, what were you two doing every night? And why are you so naturally close? It’s like you’re used to physical contact, huh~?”

“Wait, this is not... I mean, um!”

“D-Don’t kill me...!”

“Iroha-chan? Ogu-san!?”

“”Hiiiiii!?””

And so, with Mai and Ah-nee’s arrival in the United States, we experienced a terrible ordeal.

***

“But it’s a really lovely room, isn’t it~? In the future, it wouldn’t be bad for Mai and Iroha-chan to live together.”

“No, that’s not it. This is my and Iroha’s room. It’s called sticking together too much.”

“Did you say something? Ogu-san?”

“N-No, it’s nothing!”

I guided Mai through the room, who had hooked her arm around mine. Angu Ogu followed behind.

All rooms, including the toilet, are connected by ducts.

And one heating and cooling unit manages the temperature of the entire house.

“As expected, the living room alone isn’t enough, so we also run the ceiling fan.”

It’s a fan-like object hanging from the ceiling, integrated with the lighting.

It’s often used in cafes in Japan.

It looks fashionable at first glance, but it seems to be more mainstream in the United States.

Even this kind of air conditioning is different between Japan and the United States.

“Iroha-chan! Can I change the temperature of all the rooms with the machine on this wall?”

From the living room, Ah-nee asked loudly.

What, was she listening?

She was exploring the rooms on her own.

I didn’t plan to stop her until she got tired of it.

“Because it’s a bit hot, can I lower it~?”

“Sure.”

She must have gotten excited and lowered the temperature. Well, it’s better than her saying, “It’s hot, let’s wear swimsuits!” or something.

Actually, I was a little hot too, and it was convenient since Mai had her arms around me all the time!

“So, about this room...”

I nodded in agreement and continued the tour.

But.

***

“A-nee, you idiot~!?... Ah-choo!?”

“If you catch a cold after this, I won’t forgive you, stupid Anego!”

“Onee-chan, you’re such a fool~!”

Sniffing, I wiped my nose.

We ended up huddling together, shivering under the blanket.

“Uh, um... huh~!?”

Ah-nee tilted her head in confusion.
