Chapter 25 – Girlfriends, So Useful

“Does it taste good, Brother?”

“Delicious.”

Yagi Miyuki savored the Chinese dish prepared by his sister with great satisfaction. He thought that if he was pampered with such meals every day, he might end up developing rather extravagant tastes.

“That’s wonderful.”

Michako’s smile shone brightly. “If you like it, Brother, I’ll cook for you for the rest of my life.”

No, no, no, that’s a bit too exaggerated.

Yagi Miyuki had a sarcastic thought in mind, but his mouth was so full of delicious food that he didn’t say anything.

“How about Mapo Tofu for tomorrow?”

Seeing her brother can’t stop eating, Michako’s smile became even more triumphant.

Before her rebirth, she had started learning Chinese cuisine in hopes of winning her brother’s heart. She focused particularly on his favorite Cantonese and Sichuan dishes, and also dabbled in other well-known styles.

Up until now, although she couldn’t produce magical dishes that glow, she believed she could still win her brother’s stomach.

“Um.”

Yagi Miyuki swallowed. Though he’s not particularly good with spicy food, he especially enjoys Mapo Tofu.

“By the way, Michako, you said you wouldn’t be home for lunch, right? Why the sudden change?”

As he said this, Yagi Miyuki’s face turned a shade of red.

“Rehearsal ended earlier than expected, so we were dismissed.”

Michako said with a cheerful smile, “So, what do you plan to do this afternoon, Brother? Go out or stay home?”

“I’m planning to look for a part-time job. I’ll check online later to see if there’s anything suitable nearby.”

Yagi Miyuki casually said. Although he had already accepted the personal task commissioned by the school principal, tutoring that mermaid shouldn’t interfere with his part-time work, as long as it’s an evening job.

“A part-time job?”

Michako’s brows furrowed slightly. If possible, she certainly wouldn’t want her brother to go out to work; that would lessen their time together.

“If my creative plan succeeds, the royalties should be enough to support my brother. But I know he would never accept my financial support,” Michako thought regretfully.

After lunch, although Michako wanted to continue spending time with her brother, she found it hard to start a conversation and reluctantly retreated to her room.

“So annoying, so annoying, so annoying—”

Michako wildly rolled around on her bed, “What should I do! I can’t advance my relationship with my brother. How can we ever get married? I absolutely don’t want to attend his wedding with another woman ever again!”

“Should I… consult Ayano?”

Michako suddenly sat up, as if contemplating something deeply.

Tachibana Ayano, her best friend, but that relationship belongs to the future. As for now… they were just classmates who had just been assigned to the same class and hadn’t even spoken much yet.

In the not so distant—or rather distant future, Ayano will enter Tokyo Art University’s Art College with her. Their relationship improved after that.

When she found out about the nearly devastating news that her brother was going to marry that woman, it was Ayano who comforted her. If it weren’t for Ayano, Michako thought she might have considered something drastic.

“I got her LINE (similar to WeChat) yesterday and started chatting with her, but to bother her out of the blue…”

Michako hesitated for a moment.

She knew her friend well. Although she seemed aloof, she was warm-hearted and adored shoujo manga, even offering some pretty convincing love advice.

But Ayano’s aloofness wasn’t an act; randomly starting a chat with her could lead to being ignored.

“Never mind, I’ll go for it.”

As a formidable person who had been reborn, Michako wasn’t someone who hesitated. After thinking it through, she directly sent a message: “I want to marry my brother, could you be my love consultant?”

Heh heh, you can’t ignore this, right?

Michako’s lips curled up into a sly smile.

She knew her friend. On the surface, she might appear unapproachable, but deep down, she was a romantic, easily hooked by a topic like love.

Actually, if it were someone else, she wouldn’t dare to be so blatant, but it was fine if it was Ayano.

“Who are you?”

“… “

Reading the message from her best friend, Michako felt petrified.

How could you forget me? We talked so much yesterday, and you didn’t even save my contact info? That’s too much!

“Michako!!!”

“Oh, yes.”

Two interjections later, the follow-up was: “You’re joking about what you said above, right?”

“I’m serious!”

“Even if you are, it’s your brother, what can you do?”

“He’s my step-brother, so it’s okay!”

Michako got straight to the point: “Please tell me how I can get closer to my brother. Due to some previous incidents, he’s been quite cold to me.”

She knew that Ayano was a middle school girl who had no experience in love, but she was always good at talking on paper, and some of the ideas she came up with were very valuable.

A long wait…

“Huh?”

Michako collapsed and found that the other party actually ignored her and really played with her.

Just when she was about to despair, a message popped up: “Although I don’t know why you suddenly asked me this kind of question, I can help you. First explain the situation in detail.”

Michako was overjoyed and quickly used a few paragraphs of text to describe the current situation. Soon she got what she wanted.

“In that case, you should first test what kind of feelings your brother has for you. If he just treats you as a sister, then you can basically give up. If he doesn’t treat you as a sister at all, then there is still some hope. Of course, the best situation is that he is a pervert like you and likes his own sister.”

Michako: “…”

Although what you said seems to make sense, it really makes people angry.

Michako touched her chin. Based on her observation of two lifetimes, she felt that her brother’s attitude towards her was very likely the worst first kind.

“Then…how do I test?”

Michako asked humbly.

“Um…you go and ask your brother to teach you homework, and see what his reaction is and report it to me. After getting the result, I can help you make an effective plan.”

Michako was convinced and grateful that she had such a good friend.

Look, she had no clue about her problem, but the other party gave her a clear explanation in a few words!

Ayano, so useful!
