Seven step-brothers have moved into our house. From the eldest to the seventh, every single one of them is incredibly blunt and unfriendly. After brief greetings, they each start unpacking their things or checking their rooms, showing almost no interest in us.
Well, I guess it's like this at first.
Just as I was thinking that... A boy who looked a bit nervous entered the living room.
He clearly looks nervous as he pulls his hood up slightly.
...Um, I'll be in your care starting today... I'm... Haruya...
—My younger brother, Haruya. In that instant.
