Chapter 9: Family

"Tadaima" - Hirotaka exclaimed as he entered his apartment but received no response from Akira.

Hirotaka didn't care much and walked in because Akira might be busy cooking or cleaning.

But to Hirotaka's surprise, he finds Akira playing on his toys and seems to be very good at them.

"..." - Hirotaka stared at Akira's back in disbelief because he knew that Akira wasn't particularly a fan of games but now he was playing like a professional player with years of experience.

Akira noticed the movement behind him, causing him to stop the game and look back to see Hirotaka looking at him in shock - "Okairi Hiro ni".

Akira said with a smile upon seeing Hirotaka, then got up and headed to the kitchen.

"..." - Hirotaka looked at Akira and felt that Akira was acting like their mother and wanted to complain, but he was silent and did as Akira said.

While Hirotaka went to change his clothes and clean himself, Akira continued cooking and arranging the dining table.

"But I have to admit that games are fun despite their simplicity," Akira muttered as he set the table.

Little did Akira know that if a player heard what he said just now, he would vomit blood out of anger.

Although there are simple and easy games, Hirotaka's games were some of the most difficult games in the world, but because of Akira's reactions and perception, which is superior to humans, he was able to master the games easily and said that they are simple.

With his broken luck added to the combination of his superhuman abilities, the games would definitely be easy and simple.

When Akira finished setting the table, Hirotaka finished his quick bath, too.

"Hiro-ni, hurry up before the food gets cold," Akira Hirotaka urged because he didn't like eating cold food.

"You never change Akira, especially your love for hot food," Hirotaka said helplessly, picking up a beer from the fridge.

"Of course, cold food has no taste," Akira replied with his honest opinion.

Although Akira likes hot food, he also likes cold food, but he doesn't like to eat hot food when it gets cold.

"That's right, I almost forgot about it" - exclaimed Akira upon seeing Hirotaka pick up the beer and quickly got up and picked up a bottle of sake he had bought earlier.

Although Akira is a new high school student, he did not face a problem with buying sake because he bought the ingredients for food with him, which indicates that he bought it to use it to prepare food, so the worker did not say anything.

Even because of Akira's height of 1.80 cm and the mature aura around him, the worker did not suspect that he was a high school student because he had taken off his school uniform earlier.

After picking up a bottle of sake, Akira picked up his mug and walked over to the dining table and sat down.

"..." - Hirotaka watched all this but said nothing to stop Akira from drinking sake.

"Drink in moderation," Hirotaka said, focusing on the plate in front of him and slamming his palms together.

"Okay" - Akira nodded and didn't object to Hirotaka's words and clasped his hands together like Hirotaka did.

"Itadakimas" x 2.

The two of them cheered together and started eating together.

"Thank you for the food, Akira," Hirotaka said gratefully to his younger brother, who made the food for him.

"You're welcome," answered Akira, setting the table and going to add the dishes.

"So Akira, how did you become so good at games in such a short period of time?" Hirotaka asked curiously as he saw Akira's playing record, which was close to his level.

"He doesn't really find a reason because when I played I was good at it" - Akira replied without caring because he told the truth.

He also never told Hirotaka that he was serious about playing.

"Hoo, so how about we play together?" Hirotaka said with some excitement because it had been a while since he had played an exciting game with someone.

"Okay," Akira replied, put down the last plate that had been dried, dried his hands, and went and sat down next to Hirotaka, picking up the other console.

"Then what are we going to play?" - Akira asked curiously, as he only played hand-to-hand combat and shooting games.

"Hm, let's play a street fighting game first," Hirotaka said after some thought.

"Okay," Akira nodded and sat down to play with Hirotaka, not caring for the time.

And so Akira and Hirotaka stayed playing different games without caring about the time and stopped when the morning came.

"Hiro-ni, sleep in your room or you'll get a backache," Akira said, looking at Hirotaka, who fell asleep while playing with him.

"..."

Unfortunately, he did not receive any reply from Hirotaka, who was sleeping soundly.

"Sigh... there is no other choice" - Akira sighed and got up and picked up Hirotaka and took him to his room to sleep comfortably there.

After Akira arrived at Hirotaka's room, he put Hirotaka on his bed, put the blanket on him, and quietly left the room.

After leaving Hirotaka's room, Akira sat on the sofa silently, thinking about everything that had happened since yesterday.

"So this is how it feels to have a brother and a family... Not bad" - Akira muttered with a slight smile, feeling relieved to have a brother like Hirotaka.

"I guess I'll sleep too" - muttered Akira as he picked up a blanket and put it on himself and fell asleep on the sofa quietly.

It was Sunday, Hirotaka's day off, and Akira had a week off before high school, so it didn't matter much if they got up in the morning and then fell asleep.

A small note: I decided to change the novel a little, so there will be some small inconsistencies in the future, but this will make the novel better, or this is what I hope will happen.
