Mash-Up: Anything for Money

In the living room, Yotsuba, who was acting very ingratiating, clung to Hakuto's arm and spoke in her unique and lively tone.

"Mr. Shiratori, no, no, Big Brother Shiratori, how did you just do that? Can you teach me how?"

"Yotsuba, you're the Big Brother now."

"Who's the Big Brother doesn't matter; what matters is that Mr. Shiratori needs to teach me how to lift a ceramic tea table with one hand."

Hakuto raised an eyebrow, wondering if there was some technique to it.

"It's simple, you just need strength."

"Huh? (゜ロ゜)? Strength? Isn't this some kind of magic?"

"You didn't hear anything when we were talking about it earlier, huh…" Ichika shook her head.

"Huh? Ichika, what were you all discussing?"

Just now, Yotsuba had been so focused on Hakuto that she unconsciously ignored the others around her.

Hakuto withdrew his hand and slowly stood up, clapping his hands.

"Such things are better explained by me, the one involved."

On the long sofa, the five sisters squeezed together, managing to sit together.

Among them, aside from Yotsuba, who looked confused, the other four all had expectant expressions on their faces.

After all, this was the first time Hakuto revealed everything about himself to them.

Itsuki raised her hand and said, "Mr. Shiratori, can you use your powers to get us some late-night snacks?"

"No! And how long has it been since we just ate?"

"I was just thinking that, in this atmosphere, we should have something to eat."

"Do you think I'm writing a book?"

Hakuto tapped Itsuki's head to signal her to quiet down.

"This is a long story, but fortunately, we have plenty of time, so I can tell it slowly…"

Hakuto spoke vividly, and the Nakano sisters listened intently, as if he wasn't talking about his own experiences but telling a fictional story.

This time, Hakuto didn't hide anything. 

He told them about his first contact with Hoshino Umi Academy, his first encounter with superpowers, and how he would later take Otosaka Yuu back—he revealed everything.

However, when he talked about Otosaka Yuu, Hakuto repeatedly reassured them that he would be fine, which was also a form of comfort for the five sisters.

He also mentioned Nao and Ginko, which was another form of confession.

"In short, once my adolescence is over, my powers will disappear, but the enhanced physical condition will remain…"

"And about two years from now, this matter will be completely over. That's basically the gist of it. Do you have any questions?"

When Hakuto finished speaking, there was silence around him. The five sisters seemed to still be processing everything.

After a few seconds, Itsuki slowly raised her hand and asked, "Mr. Shiratori, will our children inherit your superpowers?"

"Huh? 'Our'?"

"Is Itsuki thinking this far ahead?"

"Shh~ Listen to Shiratori talk…"

"Great question!" Hakuto explained, 

"Although the powers are caused by the meteorite factor, statistics show that the likelihood of superpowers awakening in family members is quite high."

"Technically, this isn't related to genetics. It's more likely that family members have similar genetic structures, which makes them more likely to attract the meteorite factor."

"So, technically speaking, the probability of my children having superpowers would be higher than others. 

However, since vaccines have already been developed, superpowers will no longer be a thing in the future."

Itsuki nodded. She asked this question because Hakuto had casually mentioned it last night.

"Shiratori, I think I heard you mention side effects..."

"This is a minor issue. At least I've already gotten used to it, like how the body develops resistance."

The body was enhancing, and the side effects were decreasing. It seemed that Hakuto had always underestimated his own abilities.

"Mr. Shiratori! Mr. Shiratori! Do you have a lot of political power?"

"A lot, a lot..."

Thanks to Shunsuke's memory jumps, Hakuto's political power had already grown to unimaginable levels.

For instance, right now, there were several armed bodyguards following Shunsuke.

"Is it big enough that we can register for marriage?"

"Exactly... But that's not the point, right? Yotsuba, do you care about these things?"

"Eh~ It's not like that, I just think it's kind of new and interesting."

Yotsuba stuck out her tongue. While she didn't care too much about such things, what girl wouldn't want to have a title?

Perhaps because Hakuto repeatedly assured them that nothing would happen to him, all five sisters had an unspoken agreement not to ask about Otosaka Yuu.

Instead, they asked some lighthearted questions, like…

"Shiratori… What should we name our children?"

(๑•_เ•๑)?

Wait, what? You haven't even had sex yet, and you're already thinking about this?

"Miku, are you really asking this?"

"Only Itsuki dared to hint at it, but Miku, you just asked directly!"

"Miku, you're really something!"
