The Hiiragi Family is Amazing
TL: Daemon
ED: PuffyPyjamas
When I got off the luxury car that came to pick me up, a luxurious mansion was in front of me .
“T-that’s surprising…”
Sana who got off before me shook with fear .
“…So, Sensei is actually a rich lady . ”
Even Kanata, who normally has weak reactions, opened her mouth in surprise as she looked up at the mansion .
“Nii-san, are you perhaps the calculating type and the only reason you got with Sensei…”
“Of course not . ”
“…Marrying into wealth, I’m jealous . ”
Kanatsan? Your inner voice is coming out, you know? Since they now know about Hiiragi-chan, there’s no need for me to hide anything, and it’s become much easier for me .
“Hmm… so this is it . M-my house is at the very least the house of a city council member, and it’s s-somewhat large, Senpai . ”
Rei-chan had her knees quake as she tried to compete . Her body is pretty honest . After we were finished being greeted by the maids and butlers, Natsumi-chan came out from the main entrance .
“Hello, welcome everyone!”
After her, Hiiragi-chan also showed up .
“Hi everyone, thanks for coming out so far . ”
“Excuse us . ”
I gave a small bow . Today would be my third time already, so I’m not really that nervous . Sana and Rei-chan however, were looking up at the mansion behind Hiiragi-chan with a blue face .
““…It’s too high spec . ””
Natsumi-chan called us to come in and so the home economics club and Rei-chan entered the mansion . A few days ago I was told by Hiiragi-chan that Natsumi-chan proposed that we go to the Hiiragi mansion to have our end of the year party . Hiiragi-chan knew that we would have an end of the year party, but we were still discussing where we would have it . There, Natsumi-chan asked if we wanted to come to her place, and so we ended up here . I heard that she made sure to check with Airi-san and various other people .
Hiiragi-chan was also heading home for a visit so it was perfect timing . We called it an end of the year party, but today was New Year’s Eve, so it was more like a New Year’s banquet at this point .
“S-Sana is spending the New Year’s in a mansion this year…!”
My little sister was super obviously nervous . We passed by the reception room where I once had a heated discussion with Airi-san . There, everything was already prepared for the gathering, with a kotatsu and two cassette stoves on top of it . H-hot pot . She’s planning on doing hot pot…! Hiiragi-chan’s not here? I guess that means she’s standing by for the hot pot .
“The house itself is made in a western style, and yet over here it’s eastern . ”
Rei-chan expressed the words I was thinking within myself . Earlier, I stepped out of the circle for a bit and gave my greetings to Airi-san and Takakage-san . In contrast to the welcoming Airi-san, Takakage-san had an annoyed expression before telling me to come back after I had joined the family . After being glared at by Airi-san, he then instantly changed to a more welcoming mode . Other than Natsumi-chan, everyone was looking around all over the place with unease . I was also the same at the start . Anyone would feel that way after being brought to a rich person’s house .
“Thank you for waiting~”
Hiiragi-chan came in pushing a cart while wearing an apron . On top of it was a steaming hot pot . A crab was placed in it .
Sana pulled on my sleeve .
“N-Nii-san, do rich people have crab in their hot pot on New Year’s Eve?”
“How would I know?”
Natsumi-chan let out a laugh .
“It’s not just this, you know?”
On the bottom level of the cart, there was a black pan, complete with a set of ingredients that included eggs, beef, and sashimi .
“““I-is that—s-sukiyaki!?”””
The commoners were blown away by the impact of wealthiness .
“at my place, we sometimes have m-mizutaki… during the winter, Senpai . ”
Rei-chan, you can’t compete with mizutaki . It can’t beat the very best of hot pot . I somehow started to comfort Rei-chan as she forcefully tried to compete .
“I was lost on whether we should go with a puffer fish instead, but Natsumi said that this would be better . ”

“I mean, puffer fish isn’t that good right? At least not for how expensive it is . ”
Really? Is that really the case? I haven’t tried it before .
“I wonder if Nii-san will also talk on a level completely above us like that someday…”
Sana was watching with faraway eyes . Hiiragi-chan started making the sukiyaki from the stock . Meanwhile, the rest of us enjoyed the crab hot pot that was already done . The crab hot pot was made by the Hiiragi family chefs under the guidance of Hiiragi-chan it seems . Unlike the crab hot pot that I know of, it has quite a high-class flavor .
“…I thought that it would just be at the level of a small gathering, but this is a big shock . ”
Kanata spoke with a serious face while blowing on some cabbage .
“at our place, at our place…”
“It’s fine now, Rei-chan . You don’t need to fight anymore…”
“Gosh, you guys are all exaggerating . Crab hot pot and sukiyaki are normal at home, right?”
“Even if you do, you wouldn’t have both at once, at least not in a commoner family . ”
Hiiragi-chan tilted her head in confusion . I turned my gaze towards Natsumi-chan, who also did the same in tilting her head .
“Gosh, these rich ladies…”
“Senpai, your plates empty? What do you want? Cabbage, tofu, crab, fish balls…”
I guess that since she can’t compete in terms of family, she’s changed her method of appeal .
“Okay, anything is fine . ”
“Alright . ”
“Haruksan as well, if you continue cooking, it’s going to be all finished you know?”
“I’m fine . Don’t hold back and eat up . ”
“…Seiji-kun calls her Haruksan . ”
Kanata muttered causing Sana to purse her lips .

“Until now, you’ve always called her Sensei in front us . ”
“You told me not to mind, so that’s what I’m doing . ”
““Hmph!””
They’re looking at me with cold eyes .
“Detestable, those riajuus . Right, Kanchan?”
“…Yeah, it really is . ”
What should I do?
“Thanks for waiting! Who wants some sukiyaki meat?”
Sana, Kanata, and Rei-chan all instantly raised their hands .
“Then, let’s start with Rei-chan . ”
“If you eat beef with marbling like that when you’re still so young, you’ll end up turning into a terrible adult, you know?”
“Fufu . It’s fine, I’m already a fine lady . I’m different from a child . ”
“What are you talking about? You’re the youngest one here . ”
I watched as Rei-chan covered the shining—or at least seemed to shine from my point of view—meat with plenty of egg . It looks so good…
“Senpai, open your mouth . Aaaahn . Come on, aaahn . ”
“Is it okay?”
“Hey wait . You should just eat it yourself . ”
Sana quickly spoke out .

“It’s my meat, so I get to choose what to do with it . ”
“Gununu…”
Once I opened my mouth, high class meat covered in egg was placed in my mouth . The mellow egg and the sweet and spicy stock… and then, the beef that seemed soft enough to melt the instant it entered my mouth . It’s amazing… What is this… this is the taste of happiness… Hiiragi-chan watched over our exchange with an expression that said that it couldn’t be helped .
“T-then, Sana will also do that for Nii-san . ”
Hiiragi-chan’s smiling expression cracked .
On the other hand Natsumi-chan began to laugh .
“S-Sanchan, isn’t it fine for you to eat it yourself?”
“…It’s Sana’s meet, so Sana can choose . ”
“…Sachan, Sensei has a black aura coming out of her . There’s also that bleeding into her smile . ”
Taking a glance at her, I found a smile that seemed to rumble audibly .
“…S-Sana will eat her own portion…”
The black aura was scattered, and the rumbling stopped . Natsumi-chan was laughing the whole time while saying, “So, Sana is a no?”
“T-that’s not what siblings should be doing, right?”
Hiiragi-chan pouted slightly . After that, a person who seemed to be the head chef came in to carefully cook each piece of meat one by one . Somehow, it doesn’t seem like the sukiyaki that I’m used to…
“Sensei, if you marry Nii-san, the Sanada family can’t provide the same sort of accommodations as this, are you fine with that?”
“Yeah . No problem . ”
“H-hmm… such a lovey-dovey couple . ”
The condition for marrying Hiiragi-chan was for me to marry into their family, but I guess it’s fine not to say that for now .
“It’s frustrating… but the meat is good…”
Sana was making a complicated but happy expression .
