They are really too low!

"Super Pretty Girl: You're not a loser, are you?"

"Water Mage: Absolutely a loser! Ever since I joined the group, I've been using her childhood friend as a side dish, for half a year, and she still hasn't gotten to him!"

"Karin: Useless!"

"Kari: If you can't win me over, drug me!"

"Huali: Take my advice, just go up there and slurp up the noodles, he won't be able to handle it!"

"Super Pretty Girl: Based on my understanding of guys, unless you're flat-chested, there's no way you can't get her."

"Iron-Blooded Childhood Sweethearts: No way, you're overthinking it. Not everyone in this world is into big breasts. I asked him, and he doesn't care about that!"

Eriri gave an angry explanation, and then found that the group had fallen silent for a long time.

After a moment, someone finally said something quietly.

"Little Lily: Hehehe, so plum sauce really is flat-chested~"

"Karin: Flat-chested + Tsundere + Childhood Friend, she's really going to be a loser this time wwwww"

"Super Pretty Girl: What classic loser elements? Will a new girlfriend suddenly appear and completely destroy my childhood sweetheart?"

"Water Mage: Fast forward to 'Don't contact me anymore, I'm afraid my girlfriend will misunderstand??'"

Eriri blushed deeply as she faced their mockery; these perverts had no idea how she felt!

They're all newbies, what right do they have to laugh at her? It's outrageous!

"Iron-Blooded Childhood Sweethearts: Don't act like you guys have experience. Have you ever pursued a guy before?"

"Super Pretty Girl: Hehe, chasing boys is easy. Next time, just deliberately go up and hug his arm, and then use... oh dear, sorry, I almost forgot you're flat-chested. It's too difficult for you."

"Iron-Blooded Childhood Sweethearts: ?"

"Iron-Blooded Childhood Sweethearts: You better be a big jerk, or you're finished, I'm telling you!"

"Water Mage: Ahem, Qingmei-chan is a shut-in, right? Why don't you just buy a bunch of adult games that guide you through conquering your childhood friend, and then stuff them all at once into his head? When he's feeling down, he'll come to you to solve his problem."

"Kari: This is so troublesome, let's just use drugs!"

"Innocent Kitten: Waaaaah, I want to woo a boy too!"

"Iron-Blooded Plum Party: You guys, don't you have any reliable solutions?"

"Do you want ice cream today? Yes, yes, you guys are so silly!"

"Do you want ice cream today? How about this: Plum Sauce puts on a maid outfit and white stockings, stomps on him a few times, and then feeds him the ice cream. He'll behave then."

"Super Pretty Girl: Wait, why are there perverted foot fetishists in the group?"

"Robelia: My groupmate is so mean, can I see your ice cream?"

"Sayuri: I think Magician-chan's suggestion is good. You two are probably in a cold period right now, so you should use some special methods to make the other person's heart beat faster."

"Sayuri: Of course, it's not just about butter. You can also choose to play games or watch movies together to create a private space. Then, you can casually touch each other's bodies to make the atmosphere ambiguous, while observing their reactions and teasing them."

"Sayuri: Once he sees the girlish charm of the plum sauce, he'll naturally fall for her."

Eriri's eyes suddenly lit up. She felt that Sayuri's suggestion made a lot of sense and seemed feasible!

However, just thinking about how the group members were all talkers with perfect theoretical knowledge but zero practical experience, Eriri suddenly lost her confidence.

Eriri sighed, then suddenly heard breathing sounds coming from beside her.

She turned her head instinctively, and before she knew it, Kasugano Sora was standing behind her.

Chapter Four: My Brother is Basically My Childhood Sweetheart

Hoshino returned to his room and first took out the light novels from his shopping bag; he had gone to the bookstore today specifically to buy books.

Because of the rain, these light novels have some water stains. Fortunately, they were protected by their packaging, otherwise the rainwater would have soaked in.

The isekai (another world) genre is currently popular, but Hoshino wasn't very interested in it. He only bought a few light novels that interested him.

Of course, it wasn't just out of interest, but also to observe whether readers' tastes had changed.

The reason is simple: Hoshino Mi is also a light novel author.

Like most plagiarists, after transmigrating, Hoshino immediately became concerned about whether there were any famous people who had disappeared from this world.

Unfortunately, they lived healthy lives and left behind a large number of famous works, giving Hoshino no chance to meet them at all.

Hoshino once thought he could only continue being a test-taker in a small town, but fate left him another window of opportunity.

Two years ago, he unlocked the [Writing] skill on Kasugano Sora. At that time, it felt like his entire body had suddenly been opened up, and he had a very strange feeling.

To give an example, when others see the view from the mountaintop, they might just exclaim "Awesome!", but Hoshino Mi can conjure up a line like "The bright moon rises over the Tianshan Mountains, amidst the vast sea of ​​clouds."

This skill led Hoshino to decide to put her talent for plagiarism to use. She planned to draw on her past life's experience and combine it with the tastes of this world to write a few light novels to make some money.

The reason I didn't consider traditional literature was that my skills at the time were only at LV1, barely enough to get started, and I couldn't write anything amazing. So I decided to write some light novels instead.

So two years ago, Hoshino Mi, using the pen name Kaede Karen, wrote her first original light novel and submitted it to Shinazugawa Bunko.

Because of its excellent writing, top-notch plot, and accurate understanding of the tastes of anime and manga fans, this light novel was immediately signed by the editor.

Soon, Hoshino's debut novel began serialization at Shinazugawa Bunko and immediately climbed into the top five of the bestseller list in its first month.

Hoshino received many letters from readers at the time, all of whom expressed that the author's portrayal of the loli mother was fantastic, and that they loved authors like her who were into loli characters!

Hoshino pretended not to see these letters; he was merely referring to a few classic works.

Despite this, Hoshino's grades steadily improved, especially as his skills upgraded. He only needed to glance at a fellow writer's novel to instantly refine it and turn it into nourishment for himself, resulting in a continuous stream of inspiration.

By then, he was already a well-known emerging writer in the industry.

But getting back to the point, after taking out the light novel, Hoshino didn't even glance at it. Instead, she turned on her computer and randomly played a song.

After listening for a while, Hoshino was completely convinced that the skill he had gained for free today was amazing. He, who was tone-deaf before, could now distinguish the melody of a song.

[Music Theory (LV1)] is not only a universal skill for every musician, but also a core skill for composing and arranging, making it extremely important.

With this skill, Hoshino will find it much easier to learn musical instruments, and she can even try composing her own music, perhaps even recreating her experience from the light novel.

Just as Hoshino was studying popular songs, he suddenly heard footsteps and turned around to see Kasugano Sora standing at his room door.

"Are you done fighting?" Hoshino noticed that Eriri hadn't followed after the music was turned off, and wondered where she was. "Where is she?"

"She went back." Kasugano Sora said casually, holding her plush rabbit, a birthday gift Hoshino Mi had given her when she was little.

Hoshino checked the time. Although it was a bit late, Eriri usually didn't come home this quickly. Did she just want to play games with Kasugano Sora today?

He was still wondering whether to message Eriri when Kasugano Sora walked in. Seeing the light novel on the table with its cover featuring a white-haired, red-eyed little girl, Kasugano Sora frowned slightly.

However, upon noticing that the title mentioned her younger sister, Kasugano Sora didn't care.

"Is my brother going to write another novel?" Kasugano Sora snuggled up to Hoshino Mi and habitually snuggled into Hoshino Mi's arms.

As the younger sister, no matter what Hoshino Mi does, it can't be hidden from Kasugano Sora, who lives under the same roof.

When Hoshino Mi decided to write a novel, Kasugano Sora was his first reader.

"Not yet, I'm listening to music." Hoshino let Kasugano Sora snuggle into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and put one arm around her waist.

The girl's body was small, so light that it seemed she could be cradled in one's arms. Smelling her sweet fragrance, Hoshino touched her soft belly, which had no trace of excess fat and felt very comfortable to the touch.

Because she was at home, Kasugano Sora was wearing a long T-shirt, and her small, rounded breasts could be vaguely seen, like newborn baby pigeons, not noticeable at all.

Below, she wore shorts, revealing two shapely and slender legs. Kasugano Sora didn't have the habit of wearing stockings, and her clean calves were pressed together. She sat obediently in Hoshino Mi's lap, her feet dangling in the air, unable to touch the floor.

Hoshino saw her with his arms around her. The girl's exposed collarbone was delicate and tender, and her shoulders radiated a rounded luster. Although she did not have the exquisite curves that a young girl should have, her youthful body was no longer that of the little girl she used to be.

Logically speaking, a younger sister entering puberty should be tired of the existence of her brother, even if the two are not blood-related siblings.

However, Kasugano Sora's attitude towards him did not change; she remained as clingy as ever, which made Hoshino Mi used to their close relationship.

Speaking of which, Hoshino remembered that Kasugano Sora initially called him by his name, but after noticing that everyone was calling him that, the little girl quickly changed her address to "brother".

"Brother, are you helping a girl today?" Kasugano Sora asked abruptly.

"How did you know it was a girl?" Hoshino knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he simply admitted it.

"Just guessing." Kasugano Sora pouted. "After all, you like to chat up girls, and all the girls in the school know you."

“You don’t even go to school normally, so don’t spread rumors about your brother.” Hoshino refused to admit this.

Although Kasugano Sora's health is much better than it was when she was a child, whether or not she goes to school depends entirely on her own mood, for various reasons.

Unless Hoshino asks her to go to school, this girl will just stay at home surfing the internet.

"Come on, when I used to go to school, the girls in my class would light up whenever they heard your name, and they would keep asking about you." Kasugano Sora was very disgusted. She felt that her Hoshino Mi was becoming their gigolo.

"Really?" Hoshino asked uncertainly. "Maybe it's because I'm too handsome?"

Kasugano Sora was a little angry. She pinched Hoshino Mi's arm, making Hoshino Mi wince in pain. It seemed like every girl could learn this skill without a teacher.

Why did you suddenly pinch me?

"Because it's not funny at all, my brother always does it like that."

"Okay, I won't joke around next time."

Hearing Hoshino Mi say that, Kasugano Sora bit her lip. She didn't know why she was angry and dissatisfied, but she just felt uncomfortable.

Especially when thinking about Eriri, this seemingly arrogant girl with twin tails is actually quite cunning. She often tries to get close to Hoshino Mi under the guise of being childhood friends, which makes Kasugano Sora resentful.

More importantly, the more Kasugano Sora thought about it, the less she understood why Hoshino Mi hadn't made a move against her yet.

Although she felt a little embarrassed, in her eyes, Hoshino Mi was less like her brother and more like the child groom that her parents and fate had prepared for her.

Otherwise, why would Hoshino be her neighbor's brother, and why would her parents entrust her with taking care of them?

Kasugano Sora felt depressed. Was it because she lacked the charm that a girl should have?

The girl was somewhat unwilling to give up, and began to unconsciously rub her body against Hoshino Mi's thigh, as if testing whether Hoshino Mi would have any reaction to her.

Soon, Hoshino placed his hand on her shoulder.

Chapter Five: Gao Ling

Hoshino could naturally notice Kasugano Sora's movements; her soft, round, perky buttocks were pressing against his thighs, so it was impossible for him not to feel it.

However, Hoshino didn't think too much about it, because Kasugano Sora's rubbing was not tempting at all, and it was more like a little girl moving around in his arms.

"It's almost time, come down quickly, I'll go prepare dinner."

Hoshino plans to study music theory later in the evening; he's not in a hurry to do anything right now.

Kasugano Sora was somewhat dissatisfied with this reaction, and twisted her body as if unwilling, until Hoshino Mi picked her up and carried her away. She finally realized that she couldn't do such a lewd thing.

Kasugano Sora secretly glanced at her chest and realized that she truly felt no desire, which was very discouraging.

Fortunately, Eriri is in a similar situation to her, which is somewhat comforting.

"By the way, are you going to school tomorrow?" Hoshino suddenly asked.

Hoshino Mi and Kasugano Sora are one year apart in age. They originally attended the same school, but Hoshino Mi later went to a different high school, while Kasugano Sora stayed at the original school to continue her third year of junior high.

Since the two separated, Kasugano Sora has simply stopped going to school.

For the past year, she has been staying at home, only occasionally going out with Hoshino Mi to buy groceries and snacks at the supermarket. She has become a complete homebody.

"I don't want to go." Kasugano Sora refused without even thinking. "You're not at my school anyway, so why should I go?"

In her eyes, wherever Hoshino is, she must be there too.

Similarly, if there's no place where Hoshino can meet, why should she waste her time going there?

"You're graduating soon, aren't you going back to visit?" Hoshino felt that Kasugano Sora was regressing into a hamster with absolutely no social experience.

“Then let’s wait until graduation day, brother, come with me.” Kasugano Sora paused, knowing what Hoshino Mi was thinking. “Don’t forget, brother, I’ve already passed the entrance exam.”

As she spoke, Kasugano Sora glanced at Hoshino Mi with a blank expression. When she saw Hoshino Mi's helpless expression, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she looked a little smug.

Japan does not have a national college entrance examination. To continue their education, students must take an entrance exam, also known as a college entrance examination, which is usually held from October of the previous year to January of the following year.

Kasugano Sora passed the entrance exam two months ago and is now a prospective high school student. She will be entering Hoshino Mi's high school next month.

Sometimes, Hoshino Mi couldn't do anything about her younger sister. She always did things her own way, as if in her eyes, all she needed to do was stay by Hoshino Mi's side.

Hoshino sighed. Oh well, at least we can go to school together again next month.
