When Rei mentioned that her mother is no other than Aunt Reina, I was surprised by the revelation revealed to me.
Although my shock did not last that long when I remembered my mother mentioning that Aunt Reina had another child a year later after we had left for Tokyo when both of them still kept tabs with one another.
“Ah, so you are the third child of Aunt Reina. Then it’s a pleasure to meet you, Rei.” I offered a handshake with a sincere smile, hoping to get along with another Amakusa family member.
“The pleasure is all mine, Big Brother!!” Rei returned the gesture wholeheartedly with a broad smile of her own.
“So, how’s your family?” I inquired as I’m interested in the Amakusa’s well-being, especially my childhood friends, Rin and Ren.
“Aside from Big Sis Rin and Big Brother Ren bickering almost every single day, then we’re happy and okay!!” Rei maintained her cheerful persona. I could not help but be absorbed by the merriment that this young girl is emitting.
Indeed, I can already sense that she is a genuinely good girl, and I swear to God that I would protect her from any harmful elements that would threaten her every being.
“So... Uncle and Auntie couldn’t resist making passionate love with one another once more. So much for birth-control, I supposed.” I shook my head in a jesting manner, imagining that perverted bastard bagging Aunt Reina in their union of producing the offspring that is right in front of me.
“Passionate love?” Rei tilted her head in confusion, emphasizing her innocence befitting for a child such as herself.
“It’s nothing, don’t mind my nonsensical ramblings.” I waved my hand in dismissal, hoping that she would disregard my statement.
Me and my damn big mouth.
If Aunt Reina asked, then by God’s mercy, would I be spared from almost corrupting her daughter’s mind? That and she’s too precious to be harmed. So yeah, I’m going to protect her from drug addicts, child molesters, bullies, keyboard warrior fanatics, etc., etc., etc.
“Rei Amakusa… I see. I’m relieved that Aunt Reina raised you to be a respectful child from what I have seen so far, unlike that airhead who you call your sister.” I nodded in acknowledgment with Rei’s cheerful introduction, giving her an adequate amount of respect with a quaint smile.
“You mean Big Sis Rin? Yeah, she had her quirky moments, and Big Brother Ren is annoyed at her every day, especially on who gets to use the bathroom first.” Rei answered cheerfully, radiating an aura of sunshine that even I can’t help but be engaged.
It’s official, if anyone is going to hurt this child in any way, then the bastards better pray to any Gods that they worship for mercy, for I won’t be the one providing it.
With our introductions all covered up, I then asked Rei to escort me to her home. Sure, I know where the Amakusa residence is, but encouraging the young girl to guide me will improve her sense of independence and self-assurance. Meaning, she’ll be encouraged to take on multiple tasks and will undoubtedly spell great benefits in her character growth.
Rei happily obliged and led the way, with me following behind. I also took the time to see the sights of what this subdivision complex has to offer.
If I recall correctly, this neighborhood is known as the Teien district. The kanji itself means Garden, and the word certainly does the place justice as it resembles a beautiful and peaceful paradise. Just by being here, I can’t help but feel the tranquility of the neighborhood. All around the community, I observed an abundance of trees and different kinds of flowers that added to the entire area's pleasing ambiance. If anyone says that they don’t want to live here, they may be either a nature-hating ass or a liar.
While the two of us are walking, Rei, in her constant cheerful demeanor, babbled nonstop in her child-like glory. She talked about some of her daily life experiences, like being accompanied by her two siblings when she went to her elementary school. The elementary school is a part of the subdivision complex and a project generously gifted by the Rurasa Government around three years ago hosted personally by the Vice-Mayor.
It was quite surprising and refreshing that Rei is knowledgeable in these kinds of things, especially in matters related to the government. Most children would only talk about their favorite games or other things they partake in their childish endeavors, but Rei is different from your average kid. I was genuinely impressed by this girl’s attitude, and if she continues like this, then her future unquestionably will be bright.

Eventually, we have arrived at our designated location, a two-story western-style home located north-east from the subdivision entrance. Upon gazing at the familiar structure of the Amakusa household, a smile unconsciously assumed my face as I reminisced my childhood right here.
“Here it is, Big Brother.” Rei presented the house with a huge grin.
“Yep, and it appears nothing has changed.”
With Rei on the lead again, the young girl rang the bell from the gates so that we may finally enter. After a few minutes, no one is answering, and both of us have come to a single conclusion.
“Ah, then they must be out, Big Brother. But no worries!! I have the key to the house.”
Rei indeed was a reassuring presence when she took out the said item from her pocket and unlocked the gate. When we took the step inside, the familiar area of the front yard greeted my very eyes. This is one of the places where the Amakusa twins and I would play, especially during the summer, where we took out the garden hose and begun playing with water to our heart’s content by spraying it with one another happily.
“Big Brother.”
I shook off my momentary pause when Rei called me from the door that she already unlocked.
“Oh, my bad. I’ll be there in a moment.”
After composing myself, I rejoined Rei in leading me to the interiors of the household.
The inside of the house is what you expect in a typical Japanese home, but this is where I garnered some precious memories of my childhood, so it’s undoubtedly a special place in my heart.
“It’s good to be back,” I muttered under my breath with a sense of fortune being shrouded in my faculties.
As much as I want to explore the whole house, I’m feeling exhausted from the journey. That, and it would be rude to do so without most of the owners around. I remembered this house having a guest room, so I asked Rei to lead me to the place. She happily granted my request, and I was brought to the second floor, where we arrived in front of the room door.
After opening the door, Rei deemed that I was now to be left alone to rest appropriately.
“If there’s anything you need, Big Brother, I’ll be in the living room watching TV.” She told me before leaving me to my own devices.
I nodded in response and saw her departing the area. Being alone, I took the time to observe the room that I will be staying in starting today onward. The place is simple in design, with a comfortable bed, a small desk with a mirror where I can study my lessons and a window near the bed. The room is also equipped with an air-conditioner, so comfort will not be a problem here.
Since I’m feeling rather tired, I decided that it would be best to take a small nap before going back once more to memory lane.
One thing is for sure; I can feel that from this day forth, things are about to get interesting. I’m not sure exactly why I’m feeling this sort of thing, but my gut told me to get along with it.
Meeting new friends or maybe rivals, joining a club, or if by God’s blessing, a cute girlfriend.
The possibilities are definitely endless.
I succumb to my exhaustion with a positive mindset, diving forth in the realm of unconsciousness on some excellent slumber.

And just like that, I now feel refresh after having woken up from my nap. I then verified my smartphone to check the time and how many hours have passed since then. I saw that it was already 5:02 pm.
“I must be asleep for at least two hours.”
Deciding that it’s time to fix myself up, I head to one of the house's two bathrooms, the one located on the same floor that I’m at. Since I know every corner of the place, given my experience here during childhood, it won’t be a problem to maneuver myself around here with ease. If my memory serves me right, the bathroom from here is located just nearby across the hallway.
As I exited my room, the staircase is the first sight that greeted me, which lead to the first floor. I immediately spot the bathroom door as soon as I turn my head to the left.
*Click*
As I was about to go to the bathroom, however, I heard the sound of its door opening.
“Ren, I’m done with the bathroom!!!”
Emerging from the bathroom door inside is a young woman with short orange hair about my age.
And not just any woman, though.
A naked woman.
Well, not entirely. Her proportionate and well-endowed body is covered by a white bath towel, emphasizing every curve that I can’t help but mesmerized. Not to mention her ample breasts.
Of course, it didn’t take too long for her to notice me, given that I was practically right in front of her.
And as what you expect, she assumed a horrified expression, no doubt thinking that I’m some sort of pervert who barged right into her home unannounced.
If I’m not mistaken, then this must be Rin, and she has grown rather splendidly if I dare say so myself. The years are certainly kind to her, and she has been nurtured into an attractive young lady worthy of attention.
As much as I want nothing more than to ogle her alluring figure all day, now is not the time to do so. If I don’t quickly explain my circumstances here, things will get hectic around here just because of some damn misunderstanding.
In the meantime, I decided to-

Taking a deep breath to calm my nerves, I decided that it would be best to reason with her.
“Before you come up to any conclusions, Rin, I have a reasonable explanation for my presence here. You see, I-”
“YAAAHH!!!! PERVERT!!!!!”
I merely sighed in return as things are about to get hectic here, no doubt. My voice of reason has failed me this time around. Hopefully, the situation won’t worsen as I don’t want any unnecessary misunderstandings that would destroy any relationship and trust between myself and the Amakusa family.
A good old witty statement never failed to ease any tension going on. So, with a thumbs up, I said to her.
“Sexy!! It appears that you inherited some good genes from Auntie, Rin.”
We both remained quiet for a good duration, and the woman herself certainly was flabbergasted by my statement that came out of nowhere. However, it did not serve to improve the situation, not even a bit. As a result, the woman screamed.
“YAAAHH!!!! PERVERT!!!!”
Yup, this is my dumbest moment up to date. The last one was when I prank the student council treasurer in my previous school by dying her hair pink while she was asleep. Of course, I ended up being beaten badly to the face, but her reaction was worth it. Wait, why do I think about this?
Oh right, naked chick, 12 o clock.
Taking a step forward to assert my position strongly, I said to her.
“Don’t you dare scream, Rin. I have a valid excuse as to why I’m here. Your little sister-”
“YAAAHH!!!! PERVERT!!!!”
I simply shook my head in annoyance as the situation is about to get even more fuck up from this point forward. Perhaps initially coming off as intimidating was not the wisest choice and only served to push into her thinking about me being a vile degenerate who is after her body.
If any misunderstanding arose in this unnecessary issue, I must convey my case to the Amakusa family without any fear. After all, I did not do anything wrong, and this airhead of a woman will understand it one way or another.
With Rin’s scream resonating all over the house, I heard the sound of footsteps growing louder as it came from below. A young man with a darker shade of orange hair appeared right at the staircase on my right in a short while. Given his close resemblance to Rin, then this man is no doubt….
“Ren.”
The male twin of the siblings eyed me dangerously with the intention to kill. I could feel the immense pressure and rage radiating around his presence. The feeling is undeniably being directed right in front of me. He must be thinking that I’m here to molest her sister or something, given the scenario that was played earlier.
Without any wasted movement, Ren charged with his fist on the loose, ready to pummel me to the ground brutally without any hesitation.
If there’s one thing that I thought at this very moment, this was not what I had in mind when meeting the Amakusas for the first time in eight long years.
