Chapter 602
Kotori is the most well-informed of them all, her cuteness as a younger sister aside .
She knows about Wu Yan’s origin which is why she understood what feelings her Onii-chan had for her . When he embraced her, she started turning bright red from the intimate contact . She didn’t shake him off though, albeit, she did squirm awkwardly for a short while . She closed her eyes because she couldn’t bear to look at another person .
Kotori is slightly stunned . From her perspective, it was only seconds before when they were kissing each other goodbye like a soap opera scene . In just an instant, she is reunited with her detestable and lovable Onii-chan, it felt weird because she hadn’t experienced anything like this before .
“L-let go of me!”
Wu Yan didn’t let go until he replenished his vitamin K . Kotori finally yelled out loud with a bashful look on her face .
“How long are you going to hug me like this?!”
“Oh, what’s the big deal? Just let this happen…”
Wu Yan pursed his lips . He released her although he was unwilling at first .
Kotori, Kurumi, Tohka, and Yos.h.i.+no, they are all spirits he missed . But, the one he missed the most is this Imouto who he already wrapped his dirty fingers around .
When he first arrived in Date A Live, he met Kotori first . She arranged for him to live in her house . he also time-traveled to the past and met her past self . Emotionally, he’s closer to her than the other spirits .
After Kotori regained her freedom, the spirits realized what was going on through the memories given to them . Judging from the intrigued looks on their faces, they are still piecing things together .
Wu Yan smiled at them .
“I a.s.sume you got the memo from System?”
The four ladies all nodded in unison . Kotori looked around and she sighed .
“You already told me about all of this but I just can’t shake off the feeling that I am still dreaming because this all seems so fantastic . ”
“I see, so Kotori already got some information from s.h.i.+do-san…”
Kurumi touched her lips with her index finger .
“s.h.i.+do-san, that’s so unfair . You kept us in the dark, you know?…”
Wu Yan scratched the back of his head in an embarra.s.sed manner .
“I didn’t think you girls would believe me, so…”
“Are we really in another world?”
Tohka scanned her surroundings . She pointed at the plastic sheet above her .
“s.h.i.+do, what’s that?”
“We are inside something known as a tent…”
Wu Yan shrugged . Tohka gasped and he stopped her before she can ask another question .
“Don’t ask me what is a tent, I don’t know how to explain it to you . ”
Tohka turned her head the other way with a pouting look . Amused by her antics, he chuckled before squatting down to pick up Yos.h.i.+no who was examining everything around her with a child-like curiosity .
“I am sure System already gave you all the relevant details so I am not going to repeat what it said . Anyway, look forward to living in this world for a long time to come and try to get used to your lifestyle here as soon as possible…”
“Ara ara, I haven’t said I would stay in this world with you . Of course, s.h.i.+do’s a bully so you wouldn’t listen to little ol’ me, right?”
Kurumi giggled .
Wu Yan shook his head as he bitterly laughed .
“Okay, you can drop the name s.h.i.+do, my real name is Wu Yan but you all can call me Yan…”
“Yan?…”
Tohka’s b.u.t.terfly accessory flapped like the ears of a kitten .
“Yan doesn’t sound nice to me . I am going to keep calling you s.h.i.+do, yeah…”
Wu Yan started sweating . Meanwhile, Kotori lifted her head in a very smug manner .
“Of course, it’s a name I picked for him!”
“You girls…”
Wu Yan raised his tone .
“I don’t care if you like the sound of my name, that’s my real name so don’t use the wrong one with me . ”
The spirit girls wanted to protest . They were used to calling him s.h.i.+do after all . However, Wu Yan looked like he wouldn’t budge on this so they just kept quiet about this .
The name shouldn’t be an issue but he has to insist on this . He didn’t want them calling out s.h.i.+do’s name when they are getting it on . It would feel like he’s being cheated on since that’s the name of the original main character of that series .
Wu Yan rolled his eyes at the girls who looked like they aren’t too happy with his decision .
“Don’t give me that look . I don’t see why we are making such a big fuss about this . Kotori and Yos.h.i.+no like calling me Onii-chan, just keeping call me that . As for Kurumi and Tohka, just practice calling my name and you will get used to it sooner or later, do we have to make a dance routine out of this?”
“Alright…”
Wu Yan is being adamant about this and his suggestions sounded like reasonable compromises . Kotori is the only one who is still hung up about this . She’s in her commander-mode and she’s not comfortable with calling Wu Yan Onii-chan in front of other people…
“Okay then…”
Wu Yan smiled at them . He used a very suspicious tone with his following sentence .
“Let’s go meet my partners in this world…”
“Partners?”
Wu Yan’s words came as no surprise for Yos.h.i.+no and Tohka . Kotori and Kurumi picked up the undertone and they narrowed their eyes like him, judging him with their piercing gazes .
Swish
He started sweating hard . He played it cool by maintaining an innocent look, he reckons he would be able to escape with his superior acting skills .
Well, it certainly failed him because Kotori and Kurumi got even more suspicious as they exchanged a look . They kept their eagle eyes on Wu Yan but they didn’t say anything .
Awkward silence enveloped them .
Suddenly, Kotori wrinkled her nose at him and she turned the other way .
“Since they are your partners, we might as well go meet with them…”
Wu Yan broke down bawling inside his mind . He is genuinely touched by Kotori’s cooperatives . What a good imouto he has, she’s truly the best wingwoman-c.u.m-harem-member one can ask for .
Kotori, I love you so much!
Kurumi covered her mouth while giggling . She didn’t mind meeting his harem members so she nodded too .
He brought Yos.h.i.+no along while the other spirits followed in tow . They walked towards Hinagiku & co’s congregation area as tension and anxiety increased inside Wu Yan’s mind .
I wonder what’s going to happen?
“You’re Yos.h.i.+no, right?”
Flan’s eyes immediately brightened the moment she saw Yos.h.i.+no . They were both similar in physical appearance .
She only had little ol’ Lirin (Some n.o.ble’s loli daughter who Wu Yan saved from a bunch of ruffians) as her playmate . Mentally speaking, Flan’s still a child so she wanted someone close to her age who she can play with . Fun’s fun when playing with Wu Yan & the others but she also wanted a pal to hang out with .
Now her big chance is here, why wouldn’t she over the moon happy about this whole thing?”
“I am Flan…”
Flandre-chan stood with arms akimbo, she wanted to make a great first impression .
“I am 495-years-old this year, how about you? Are you as old as me?”
“4-95 years old…”
Yos.h.i.+no blinked her sky-blue eyes in shock . Flan took her look as someone who acknowledged her superiority and she chuckled .
“Hehe, Yos.h.i.+no, looks like you’re not older than I am…”
Flandre-chan hurrayed and she excitedly chirped at her .
“If that’s the case, you have to call Flan, Onee-san, okay?”
Yos.h.i.+no nodded after thinking about it . It’s only natural to call a 495-years-old existence Onee-san .
“Yeah!”
Flan jumped more than 3 feet into the air with joy .
“Flan is an Onee-san! Flan became an Onee-san!”
The others grinned in bliss when they saw the two kids. .h.i.tting it off right off the bat . Astrea and Tohka grinned the widest . Looking closer, they are already holding hands with each other .
“You’re Kotori, right?”
Hinagiku twirled her hair and she smiled at Kotori .
“I have heard Yan talking at lengths about you…”
“You’re about the same age as me, right?”
Mikoto looked at Kotori with friendly intrigue .
“I am Mikoto, nice to meet you!”
Kotori smiled back and she introduced herself .
Wu Yan watched with slack jaw, he couldn’t help but feel betrayed .
Thi-this is impossible…
