Two weeks passed just like that.
During that span of time, no incidents happened to the people around Akira, and everything was running normally.
The day he was allowed to leave the hospital happened to be Sunday.
Nakano Family Apartment.
At 9:45 a.m.
Standing in front of Miku's door, Akira knocked on her door.
*Knock Knock Knock*
"Miku-Nee, are you ready?"
The room door opened, and Miku wearing casual clothes appeared.
"En, I am ready."
"Then let's go."
In the living room, Rena saw her two children dressed neatly, then asked:
"Where do you want to go?"
"I asked Miku-Nee to accompany me to buy a new cell phone, this is a good chance to take her on a weekend trip, don't just stay in the room and play games all day." Akira frankly.
His cell phone was broken the day he was hit by a truck, and he was thinking of buying a new one.
Ichika is off somewhere, Nino is shopping with her friends, Yotsuba is invited to karaoke by her club mates, and Itsuki is exploring unknown places to eat.
Only Miku was locked up in her room like a hikikomori.
"I haven't played games all day…" Miku puffed her cheeks and argued.
"Mhm. Miku, watch over Akira when crossing the street." Rena reminded.
"En, I understand." Miku nodded seriously.
"Come on, mom, the previous accident was just a coincidence, I'm not a careless person."
Akira felt wronged, he was definitely not a reckless person like Yotsuba. The previous accident happened because someone pushed him from behind, but he couldn't say that.
"Anyway you have to be extra careful, watch for the light to turn green before crossing, you understand?"
Rena looked at her son firmly.
"Yeah..." Akira answered languidly, took Miku's hand, and said: "We're going, mom."
"Be careful on the way." Rena nodded and returned to continue watching the drama on TV.
...
On the sidewalk, Akira and Miku were walking side by side.
The two of them looked nothing alike, no one would believe they were siblings.
"Where are we going?" Miku asked while watching Akira adjust her walking pace.
"Where is the best place to buy the best cell phones in Tokyo, according to Miku?"
Akira didn't even add the word older sister when he said Miku's name.
Miku was used to this and didn't correct him. Pondering for a moment, she hesitated to answer.
"Akihabara?"
"Yes."
Akihabara is the largest electronics market in Japan. It is very well known as a marketplace for electronic gadgets, laptops, smartphones, electronic components, and almost everything from tiny motherboard screws to full-size robots.
Akira wants to buy the newest and most expensive smartphone model available.
The pocket money his parents gave him wasn't enough to buy the most expensive smartphone, but let's not forget there's an artificial intelligence, Chamber, that raises money for it through the buying and selling of stocks.
At least enough wealth to buy a house in Tokyo, where land is very expensive!
"Let's go."
Miku held Akira's hand while crossing the street.
"It's embarrassing, I'm not a child."
"Akira forgot the accident two weeks ago?"
'It's not my fault, it's because..."
Realizing he was on the verge of telling the truth, Akira covered his mouth.
The assassination attempt is known only to his father, and he doesn't want to tell Miku or Ichika, who know of his powers.
"Because of what?" Miku asked suspiciously.
"Nothing, Miku just looks really pretty today."
Akira wrapped his arms around Miku's waist.
"N-Not here..."
Miku struggled a bit, worried that someone she knew would see them making out.
"Don't worry, I'll notice if there's an acquaintance within a 200 meter radius, so Miku can rest easy."
Akira whispered in Miku's ear, not forgetting to also exhale, which made her face red.
He wasn't lying, [Universal Sense] was always active, and he would pay attention if anyone he knew entered his surveillance radius.
"Bullying me..." Miku said embarrassed, but stopped struggling and let his hands rest on her waist.
"Mhm, I like to bully Miku the most, today I will bully you more and more. So, prepare yourselves well."
Akira acts like a criminal.
"Guilty, seppuku."
Miku's signature words appeared.
They both head towards the station and get on the train.
"This is weird..." Miku was surprised to see the empty space inside the train.
Sitting next to her, Akira asked marketing: "What's weird?"
"Doesn't Akira feel that the trains are becoming quieter than usual? Even though it's the weekend?"
"Oh, it turns out about that. Miku doesn't watch the news, right? Now Japan is experiencing a population decline crisis as the death rate exceeds the birth rate. In fact, many schools had to close because there were no new students."
"I see... I just found out, it turns out that Japan's situation is not good."
Miku is not interested in paying attention to the news, she prefers to play games on the computer and ignore the social problems that are happening. If Akira didn't tell her, she wouldn't know.
Akira held Miku's palm, their fingers squeezing together.
"It is our duty as the younger generation to help the government overcome the population shortage crisis. So, Miku will have to give birth to many children in the future, okay?"
"Hah?"
Miku was dumbfounded at those shameless words, her eyes opened wide and her face turned bright red.
"D-Don't say such preposterous things, having children is too soon for us. Especially Akira, you are still a junior high school student."
She lowered her head, let her bangs cover her embarrassed face, and spoke very quietly.
"Miku doesn't want to have children with me."
Seeing Miku like this only made Akira want to keep teasing her. Of course this was just a joke, the consequences would be dire if he got one of his sisters pregnant. Because of that, he asked Le Fay to apply anti-pregnancy magic to Miku, so that he could expel his sperm in her womb every time they had sex.
"T-That's not what I meant..." Miku answered groggily, saw the smile on Akira's face, and realized she was being played.
"Hmph, I don't care about Akira. Guilty, seppuku."
She turned her face to the side, and released Akira's hand.
"I'm sorry, Miku, I went too far."
Seeing her sulking, Akira apologized with a sincere expression on his face. However, Miku was still sulking, and ignored him.
The train arrived at Akihabara station, and Miku stood up and walked away from Akira.
"Wait for me, Miku!"
Akira ran after her.
Along the way, he kept on persuading Miku. After much effort, he finally forgives her.
"Don't make a sullen face, it spoils your pretty face, Miku."
Akira pinched Miku's cheek.
"This is a public place, don't do this."
Miku has thin skin, she is too shy to show affection in front of people.
"Let's go."
Akira could feel the envious and jealous stares from the otaku boys around him. When single otaku manage 2D waifu, he dates a beautiful girl, very normal for otaku who are members of the FFF organization to hate him.
He even saw a fat man shamelessly hugging a dakimakura that had an image of an anime character and looking at him spitefully.
(Wow, that man has nerves of steel.) Akira complimented the fat man's courage.
Holding Miku's hand, he led her to the biggest electronics store in Akihabara.
Akihabara is considered an anime paradise by all otaku around the world, and there are many tourists from various countries who come here. So this district does not show a crisis in Japan's population shortage.
Holding hands, Akira and Miku saw a western tourist holding a selfie stick and talking to himself. Chances are they are YouTubers or TikTokers, showing Akihabara.
Miku is very interested in seeing foreign people, but because of her bad English, she doesn't understand what they are talking about. Fortunately, there was Akira, who spoke fluent English and translated the contents of the conversation to her.
