Chapter 285 – 18.2 Is This NTR Water or NTL Water?

“Hmm.”

Now I’m at Nanami’s house, who has moved in next door to us.
One of the few troubles for me these days was living in this house.

“As expected, this is a problem…”

I was troubled as I watched Nanami’s younger brother, Kouta, lying face down in the living room playing games.

“? Uncle, why?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me uncle?”

But. Because I’m going to be an uncle soon too.
Still, for Kouta, he is a brother-in-law. There is no change in his position as an older brother. So, Kouta, who was called Uncle, needed more education.

“Kouta. Aren’t you going to go to the army?”
“Army? Why me?”
“The army these days is really good. Food comes out, clothes come out, nothing comes out.”
“?”
“How is it? Do you want to go to the army Aren’t the soldiers’ clothes cool too? You can use knives and guns. This uncle will put it in specially for you.”
“Nives. Don’t infuse the kid with strange words.”

Nanami interrupts me while I’m flirting with Kouta.

“But Nanami. That this is impossible There is a man in my garden.”

It was. The problem was that Kouta was a man.

Knives Harem Town.
About 10 women live in 5 houses including a boarding house. Apart from me, Kouta is the only male among them.

Nanami didn’t think much of it, but this was a very serious matter.
In Japan, the birthplace of NTR, in addition to major villains such as the pot-bellied man, Golden Sun, and the dark otaku, male elementary school students who do not know anything about fear often appear as villains in NTR.

Kouta was also a dangerous type in that sense.
Even though he is still young, his face with clear features has a promising future. The fact that he was Nanami’s younger brother also made it easy for him to be distracted. So Kouta could be said to be a great NTR villain reserve.

“I am Kouta is only eight years old now.”
“You’re welcome. You can’t underestimate kids these days. Since I was 10 years old… No. Does this matter Anyway, this is a serious problem. I have to point it out and move on.”

I talked to Kouta, who was concentrating on the game again.

“Kouta. Have you ever thought about becoming a woman?”
“? Don’t you?”
“Think carefully. In my next life, I want to be born as a woman, or I want to become a beautiful girl and live comfortably while doing internet broadcasting. Since your name is Kouta, how about the nickname Utako? I heard that virtuos where men dress up as women are doing well these days. Or he imagines himself dressed as a woman…”
“Knives!”

Slap! Nanami slapped me on the back.

Hmm. A bit overdone
Still, I don’t think it’s very good to live trapped in gender stereotypes in this day and age. Didn’t she become a great woman just by looking at Yuuki?

While I was thinking about how I could change Kouta’s gender identity, Nanami’s younger sister Shoko came into the living room this time.

“Brother Knives!”
“Ohh, Shouko.”

Shoko chased after me and sat down on top of my leg. She’s like a house cat that loves people.

I stroked cute Shouko’s hair and healed her heart wound she received from Kouta’s Delusion NTR.

“Shoko, how are you? Doesn’t anyone bully you?”
“Yes!”

Shoko had a good relationship with me from the beginning, but after I appeared on TV, her attitude towards me became more friendly.
In addition, the house moved next door, and as Shoko started attending the same Rune Academy this year, the distance between her hearts became even closer.

For an elementary school student like Shoko, having a celebrity around her is a huge advantage. And, strictly speaking, she’s not a celebrity, but within the academy, I can say she’s on par with a fair amount of celebrities.

Shoko also seems to brag about me to her friends often.
Knives oppa lives next door to us. Her sister and I are also close.
Phew. I’m glad I was able to become a proud older brother to Shoko.

“Brother Knives. Can I take a picture?”
“No, then.”

Shoko takes a selfie with me as she is held in my arms.
Hehe. You cute boy

“Because I like my sister after all.”
“Lol. You should brag to her friends.”

Shoko immediately sends the picture she took of her now to her friends.

My older sister is nice too, but if she had a younger sister like Shoko, she would have fun every day.
If my parents had worked harder after coming back from the great disaster, having a cute younger sister would not have been a dream. It’s a bad thing.

It was the first time I felt so sad that my parents died so early.
I stroked Shoko to soothe her depressed mood.

“Shoko. Will you marry her brother when you grow up later?”
“Yes! I want to go!”
“Mehehehe.”
“Nives…”

Nanami glared at her with her cold eyes.
Eek. A bit overdone

“Uh hmm. Is there anything Shoko wants?”
“Um~ Shoko~ The 7th generation high pad is pretty~.”
“Ohh, as expected, Shoko is on the cutting edge of fashion. Wait a few days Because this brother will place an order right away.”
“Exciting!”
“Me too, mister!”
“You go to the army.”

Seeing me like that, Nanami sighs deeply.

“Nives. Don’t keep buying those things for your kids. Get spoiled.”
“You still want to buy it. What does it mean to like a brother-in-law?”

Even though it’s right next door, I’m busy so I can’t show my face often. Every day I was worried that if I didn’t score points even with such a gift offensive, I would be forgotten by Shoko and become an unknown man.

“Mr Knives. Nanami is right.”
“Mother.”

The owner of this house appeared pushing a wheelchair.
Ms. Kohaku Shiina, the mother of Nanami and her twin brother. She is a widow who lost both her legs and her husband in a catastrophe, and she is also my soon-to-be mother-in-law.

“It’s because I want to score points with Shoko. Please look at it this time.”
“Still… I’m sorry if I keep getting it like this…”

My mother, even though she was going to be my mother-in-law soon, she treated me with respect as if she cared for her superior. The old military relationship still seems to have an effect.

“I am also a member of this house now. You will not be burdened.”
“Isn’t it strange that one side of the family only accepts the other? It would be nice if I could give you something in return…”

Nanami’s mother came closer this way and she grabbed my hand.

… What? It feels like something like this has happened before… ?

“Mom.”

Nanami somehow nervously separates my mother’s and my hands.
I glanced at Nanami and scratched the back of her head.

“Haha. Thank you for just her words. Still, I like to see what kids like. Shoko and Kouta are like younger siblings to me.”
“It’s like a younger brother, so are you trying to enlist in the army?”
“I don’t recommend anyone unless I’m really close with them? Really.”

Really. For example, Yuuki.
I am now a general in the army. One or two new recruits could push them as much as they wanted. I want Kouta to trust me too.

“Mr Knives. Not only Nanami, but also taking care of Shoko and Kouta. How should I repay Mr. Knives…”

Then her mother takes my hand again.
The atmosphere is very alluring. It was as if he was about to say that he would do ‘whatever’ after a while.

“Mom!”

And Nanami exchanged hands with her mother again this time.

“Ho-ho-ho. I’m sorry, Mr. Knives. Because our Nanami is very jealous.”
Haha. What. Nanami is so lovely.”

I put my left arm around Nanami’s shoulder and pulled her towards me.

“Mom, don’t be so burdened. From now on, as I am the head of this family, it is a natural thing to do. Please feel free to rely on me, too.”

And with her right hand, Nanami holds her mother’s hand.
Nanami didn’t say anything this time either.

“Mr. Knives…”

Seeing how moved my mother made me feel good too.

Hmm.
By the way…

Shoko on my lap, Nanami on my left, and my mother on my right.
If you look at it like this, isn’t this place also a harem state for me? Of course, I wouldn’t lay a hand on Nanami’s mother or Shoko.

“… Kouta.”
“Yes?”
“Be strong.”
“? What?”

Kouta asks back without knowing why.
I was paranoid for nothing when I saw Kouta, but in fact, from Kouta’s point of view, I might be called NTR’s Golden Sun.

Mother, sister, and even her twin sister.
Kouta, the only man in this house, is in a position like a common harem character, but he loses all the love of his precious family to the golden sun.

Losing a precious family member is more painful than losing a simple girlfriend.
I couldn’t hide my regret when I saw Kouta ignorant of such things and being engrossed only in games.

“Kouta. If you keep playing games like that, you might regret it someday.”
“?”

Even my last heartfelt advice, Kouta didn’t understand.

Kouta is still young too.
I swallowed a sad sigh and prayed from the bottom of my heart that Kouta would grow stronger.
