I Just Wanted a Quiet Life... So Why Am I an Uma Musume Trainer?! Chapter 233 - 232: Fuji Kiseki Arc - Sibling Banter

Hachiman's POV

Komachi: "Wow~ Onii-chan, this is amazing! Who'd have thought my lazy brother would beco such a great cook~ Man, I miss the days when you bragged about your sixth-grade cooking skills."

Hachiman: "Why so nostalgic? I've grown too… Though my teacher's Spartan training probably forced this skill on ."

CB: "Huh~ Hachiman was a slacker before?"

Komachi: "Oh yeah~ He'd argue back at everything, not much to brag about. But now? I could introduce him without sha. Great cook, Tracen Academy trainer and all."

CB: "No way! Hachiman's our trainer!"

Ardan: "Even if it's you, Komachi-sama, I won't let Anii-sama go to anyone."

Fuji: "Yeah, Komachi-san, introducing Hachiman-san to soone now would be tough."

Hachiman: "What're you guys competing over? Either help with the food or get lost."

Air Groove: "I trust Hachiman, but you're not out there picking up girls, right?"

Hachiman: "That's not trust, is it?"

Rice: "Onii-sama, where do I put this dish?"

Hachiman: "Middle of the table, thanks. Geez, is Rice the only good one here?"

Rice: "Eek!? N-No, Onii-sama! I'm not that great…"

Nah, not saying the sa nonsense as the others makes you 100% a good girl. Full marks.

Minutes Later

Hachiman: "Food's ready, let's toast. No clue what for, but how about my reunion with Komachi?"

"Cheers!!"

Phew, finally eating. Didn't expect another fight over seating, though. Guys, do you really need to fuss over chairs here?

Komachi: "Quick question—why do Ardan-chan and Rice-chan call you 'brother' with '-sama'?"

Hachiman: "…That bothers you?"

Komachi: "Duh, it's weird when strangers call my brother 'Anii-sama'!"

Ardan: "Allow to explain why I call him Anii-sama—"

We chatted through dinner like that. Komachi's relaxed, probably because she's not with work colleagues. The team's vibing with her easygoing nature. Wish I had that charm… Nah, never thought that, but props to my sister.

Komachi: "I was shocked you beca a trainer, Onii-chan. Thought it was a joke at first, but it's real~"

Hachiman: "I didn't plan on it either. Learned under my teacher, and it just happened."

CB: "Hey, Miss Komachi, is Hachiman that different now?"

Komachi: "Totally. I loved old Onii-chan, but I love the new one too. He's improved tons, but deep down, he's the sa. If that changed, I might've hated him."

Hachiman: "That harsh, huh… Well, I'm glad you haven't changed much either."

Komachi: "That's not a complint for a girl, you know."

Hachiman: "You think I'd gush? Want to praise you till it's creepy?"

Komachi: "Ugh, stop, that's gross."

Hachiman: "Exactly why I kept it light."

Air Groove: "…Is this your usual banter?"

Hachiman: "Pretty much."

Fuji: "You guys are close."

Ardan: "Hehe, sibling bonds are wonderful. I have an older sister, so I understand."

After dinner, we all talked about tomorrow, the Chrysanthemum Sho, and academy stuff, getting hyped.

Hachiman: "I'll prep the bath."

Komachi: "Yay~ Oh, Onii-chan, when's the last ti you went ho?"

Hachiman: "What's with the sudden question?"

Komachi: "Mom's worried, you know? You haven't skipped going ho since graduating college, right?"

Hachiman: "Uh…"

…Crap, I haven't been back. Since college days, that's… over five years? Changed my phone, don't even have their number morized…

Hachiman: "Yeah, haven't been back…"

Komachi: "Ugh, Onii-chan… I go ho every six months. I get you're busy, but take a break sotis."

Hachiman: "…Guess I'll visit at year-end."

CB: "Then I'll co too—"Not happening. Why're you acting like it's a given?" Aww, but eting your parents is important!"

Hachiman: "eting parents? This isn't a marriage proposal. Quit joking."

What was I doing again? Komachi's random question threw off… Right, bath prep.

Hachiman: "No clue who's first, but I'm setting up the bath. Wait a bit."
