290 Residence Permit

Parallel world.

In one of the hospital offices.

It took 10 minutes for the quintuplets, Maruo, and Ebata to digest the memories that Akira transferred.

After finishing, their views on Akira changed drastically. If previously they viewed him as a stranger, now their mood was complicated.

Ichika: "This all doesn't feel real, more like a movie plot."

Nino: "It turns out there is a parallel world. My view of the world has completely collapsed."

Miku: "Unbelievable... A little brother from a parallel world... This is more incredible than an isekai light novel plot."

Yotsuba: "So you really are our little brother? Poor thing, you're stranded alone, that must be hard. But don't worry, you'll be fine from now on."

Itsuki: "In a parallel world, mom is still alive! Wuwuwu..."

The quintuplets showed different responses, but there was one thing in common, they had completely considered Akira as their little brother. What's more, they witnessed the memory from a first-person perspective, so it was as if they experienced everything that happened in the memory.

"I am grateful to see extraordinary things in my old age." Ebata said, feeling joy knowing this.

"If Rena didn't die, would the future be like that?" Maruo muttered in a low voice.

"Well, I'll repeat it one more time. My name is Nakano Akira, the sixth child and only son of the Nakano family. At least, that's my background in my home world. Nice to meet you, everyone."

Standing up from the sofa, Akira bowed and introduced himself openly. Then, suddenly the quintuplets surrounded him and hugged him tightly.

"Akira-chan doesn't need to worry, Onee-san won't leave you alone anymore."

Ichika changed his nickname from 'Akira-kun' to 'Akira-chan', just like in the parallel world memory.

"I see. Now it all makes sense, despite being worlds apart, you are our biological sister, no wonder I felt a sense of familiarity when I met you."

Nino's tone was like that of an big sister towards her little brother.

"I always envied other people who had younger brothers, now I have a younger brother. Later I will force you to eat my food as a welcoming party."

Miku wants to show off her cooking skills. In these memories, she saw that she was still at a solitary stage and not very good at socializing, like she was two years ago.

"It was great. From now on, I have a younger brother, ehehehehe..."

Yotsuba smiled cheerfully, happy with the arrival of family members from a parallel world.

"This is encouraging news. I'm no longer the youngest child. Akira-kun is also very smart... Why don't I inherit mother's intellectual prowess."

Remembering Akira's myriad achievement and accomplishments, Itsuki wonders why her little brother is so smart, while the quintuplets are so stupid.

"This is a miracle... The world is full of things beyond human understanding. If Rena-sama is still alive, she might implicate your son, Master."

Ebata glanced at Maruo whose brows were furrowed, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"There is no 'if' in this world." Maruo said briefly.

To be honest, he envied himself in the parallel world.

"Akira-kun, how long have you arrived in this world?" He asked.

"Three days ago." Akira answered honestly.

"That means on the day of the school festival! Why didn't Akira-kun tell us sooner." Itsuki remembers the first meeting of the two of them in the cafeteria.

"That's right, you go around meeting us one by one. It makes Onee-san sad~" Ichika poked Akira's cheek.

"There's no other choice, will Ichika-Nee and the others believe me if I say I'm your little brother from a parallel world." Akira smiled wryly.

"Akira has a point. Then why are you only telling us now?" Nino asked.

"Because the timing wasn't right." Akira glanced at Yotsuba meaningfully.

Understanding the meaning of that gaze, Yotsuba blushed.

"Three days... Where does Akira live? You don't have any money, right?" Miku asked concerned.

"Since Akira-kun comes from a parallel world, ID cards and debit cards shouldn't be able to be used, right?" With Itsuki's current intelligence, she estimated her predicament over the past three days.

"Luckily, I had 30,000 yen in my wallet. With that money, I rented an internet cafe and lived there."

Akira only has about 10,000 yen left, the cost of living in Japan is very expensive!

"Ebata, prepare a place to stay for Akira-kun." Maruo gave the order.

"Understood." Ebata nodded.

"Wait, dad, why not let Akira-chan live in the apartment with us? After all, he is our biological younger brother, there are many things I want to talk to him about." Ichika suggested.

Maruo's eyebrows raised, he was hesitant to let a man live under the same roof as his five daughters, even though the man was his son from a parallel world.

He still didn't know Akira's personality, he was worried that something might happen.

"I do not mind. Miku and I want to prepare food for him. Considering that Akira can't cook, during the three days you were here, you definitely ate fast food or instant noodles."

Through these memory snippets, Nino understands Akira a little.

"Cough... Not really, sometimes I eat ramen at restaurants." Akira answered while pretending to cough.

"It's same. These are all non-nutritious foods." Miku complained.

"Please, dad, let Akira-kun stay with us. I still want to talk to him about mom." Itsuki pleaded.

Among the quintuplets, she loved her mother the most. This can be seen from her diligent attitude in visiting Rena's grave compared to the others.

Now knowing that her mother still lives in a parallel world, Itsuki wants to talk about many things with her little brother who suddenly appeared.

"Everything will be fine. After all, Akira is a mother's son. His personality is definitely fine."

Patting her chest, Yotsuba gave assurance.

(Sorry, I'm not a good person) Akira felt guilty in his heart. Moreover, he had had sex with Ichika and Miku in his home world.

"... "

Seeing his five daughters insist, Maruo did not immediately give an answer. Observing his son's face closely, he saw many similarities to him.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded his head and gave permission.

"Alright, since you all don't mind. Akira-kun can stay in the apartment."

"Everyone must be tired, there was a lot going on today. Ebata, take them back to the apartment."

"Understood."

Knowing Maruo needed time to think clearly, Ebata left the office first.

"Thank you very much, dad." Akira said.

"…"

Maruo is not used to being called dad by men.

The quintuplets also expressed their gratitude, then went to the hospital parking lot.
