"... I don't know what to do with the big deal."

Upon returning from oneechan's sympathy, I was just a little lost in front of a pile of warm laundry.

I only lived with two sisters and it wasn't that big, but it was a good amount if it was a week's worth. Bad timing or something...

"Wash, dry, fold, finish..."

... even if you think about it, it's a lot of trouble.

But oneechan didn't complain about such troublesome things.

Then I have to do my best.

"Well, it's certainly a hassle, but if you just wash it, the washing machine will generally do it for you... but I can do something about it..."

With that in mind, I threw a pile of laundry into the washing machine.

Now, let's hit the detergent and switch....

"... neutral detergent... alkaline detergent... softener... bleach..."

Hey, why are there so many kinds of clothes just to wash? What's so different about this? I don't know at all.

Oh, yeah, do you have any instructions for the washing machine?

"... rinse... wash... dehydrate... dry... wash... dry... clean... hot water..."

I know about the power button and the timer, but I don't know how many other buttons there are that seem to turn my eyes.

What's the difference between washing and washing? What do you mean "dry"? Why do you have two drying buttons? Are you talking about getting hot water?

"I see malice towards the laundry beginner....!

Why is it so hard to understand? The person who made this is definitely bad character. Definitely.

"Besides, drying means it's also a dryer...? Oneechan seems to have dried normally...."

I wonder why it was dried normally even though it has a drying function. Something on your mind? Or is it actually a dryer?

"... I see."

I don't know at all...!!

I wish you could already tutorialize me like a game like this...!

With such a stupidity overflowing in my heart, my phone rang.

"Hey Shizukuishi-chan, how are you?

"Mr. Orchid... well, that's..."

I don't even have to ask, Shizukuishi can't do housework!

"Do you want to be burned?

"Ah, lie, lie, I'm sorry, I'm just kidding! I was just calling because I thought I might be in trouble."

…………

I can't argue with anything because it's a picture star.

And Mr. Orchid, who understands it naturally, took my silence positively and proceeded with the conversation.

I'd like to go and help you if I could....

"Orchid and Mimori-san promised not to lend a hand. If you can't do it properly, you won't be able to pass your uncle's exam next week... first of all, Orchid can't even do housework."

That's right.

Ahahahaha, a light laugh echoes over the phone.

What are you calling me for? This guy... what a half-eyed man, Orchid repeated his words in a hurry to see my cold air.

"Well, anyway, I thought I'd give Shizukuishi a piece of advice."

"Advice?"

That's right. That's what it's good for.

"I can't trust you anymore....."

Orchid always plays with people. There is still a slightly interesting atmosphere.

I don't think I'm really joking because of the situation, but I'm worried.

Well, don't say that, it's very simple.

"Easy, what?

"What you can't do alone, what you can't do, is honestly rely on your surroundings."

Unexpectedly, I was forced to be a little rigid.

No, what are you talking about, Orchid?

"I have to prove that my uncle is capable of life. If you depend on your surroundings, you'll end up falling."

That idea is already wrong. It's not inconsistent to live by yourself and rely on someone else. "

I wasn't sure what I was going to say, so I became more and more confused.

What's the difference between relying on someone else and being sweet...?

In short, no matter how humans do it, they can't live alone. This is also the bell tone, but the first thing Shizukuishi should remember is how to rely on others well. We're not the only ones who care about them. "

"... I don't know."

We... especially, there is no one who cares about me but oneechan, Orchid, and Mimori.

I mean, my uncle is right... because I'm always playing games in my room.

That's what I thought, so I turned my hand a little bit today. I think it's time to arrive, so good luck later.

That's all I had to say to depressed me, and I cut off my call with Mr. Orchid.

Turned my hand... I wonder what I did.

"... hmm?

Then the ping-pawn and the front door intercom rang at a timing that was gauged.

My sister usually comes out and says I don't mind being away when I'm alone, but I don't go to the boulders today either.

"Um, who is it...?

As a precaution, open the door and ask about the outside.

Then there stood a woman in the same uniform as her sister.

"Hi, is it suitable for Suzumiya-san's house?

"Ah, yes... yes, but... um..."

"I'm Mio Naruse, Suzune-san's classmate. I came to deliver a printout today because Suzune-san was hospitalized and absent from school."

I was expecting you, but you're still a classmate. I forgot because I didn't go to school, but today was school... I have to thank Orchid for taking the time off to visit me and my sister.

Still, I can't believe you came to deliver the prints on your first day in the hospital... oneechan, it's very popular...

"Um, thank you..."

In the meantime, it would be rude to continue the conversation across the chain...?

So, once you close the door, you take off the chain, and you do it again, Naruse? Turn around with the woman named.

If you look at it again, I'm a little scared of my eyes... uhh, if you're looking at it like this, you'll have to try harder to be considerate.

"Ah, so, what's the trouble without Mr. Suzukin? If it's okay with me, I'll talk to you."

"Eh...."

I was a little confused by the sudden offer.

Sure, there's a lot of trouble. Orchid also told me that it was not a bad thing to rely on people.

But suddenly talking to strangers... no, I don't think he's suspicious...

"Ah, that's right, even with me, I'm worried about you guys... ahh, I'm already drooling!

When I am not sure how to answer, Naruse suddenly disturbs his head whispering a strange lady tone.

Even if I shake my body unexpectedly before acting strangely, Naruse kept pointing his fingers at it.

"I can't keep quiet as a party member when I hear that Belle's sister is down and her comrade, Cocoa, is in danger. Let me help you a little."

"Eh...?

The name of the character in my sister's FFO that suddenly popped out of her mouth. The word "party member" sounds like a high-tension lady.

No way, Mr. Naruse smiled at me with a familiar high attitude.

"I'll take off this realistic one for my sister. Please use it to the full."
