It was the birth of the first-ever Raijin Middle School Biology Club.

Twelve years later, Ikebukuro, Raira Academy pool

“So in other words, Iza…you got into some kind of trouble again.”

“…Exasperation…” [I just can’t believe it.]

It was summer vacation, and Raira Academy’s pool was open to its students.

Seated at the poolside, kicking their feet slowly through the glittering water, two girls were busy explaining something to a boy leaning against the fence behind them. He glanced back and forth between their backs and…other features and sighed. “So why are you bothering to tell me this?”

Aoba Kuronuma spoke to them in a much blunter manner than he did with Mikado. “Why did you even bring me here to the pool anyway?” he complained.

Despite his swimsuit, he didn’t seem ready to swim. He wore an open black shirt and stood conspicuously far away from the water.

Mairu Orihara scooped up a handful of pool water and splashed it at his feet. Her relatively athletic body was wrapped in a competition swimsuit, while Kururi wore a bikini with a spiderweb pattern. Neither outfit was according to the school rules, but those didn’t apply outside of school hours.

The Raira Academy school building was eight stories tall, as big as some colleges, and the pool was located on the sixth floor, strangely enough. It was an indoor pool with a glass ceiling so that it could be used on rainy days, and the windows offered a nice view of Ikebukuro.

Aside from the swim team’s activity hours, the pool was open to students during vacation, so anyone could use it provided they brought their school ID. There was no practice today, so the pool was split between racing lanes and a free-swim space.

Kururi and Mairu were kicking their legs into the free area, and the boys nearby were alternately giving them wolf whistles or staring and then hastily turning their gazes away. Aoba was in the latter category, if any, except that he had the advantage over the other boys in that he was there on their invitation.

But he didn’t know why yet, so he stood back, playing it cool, as he secretly let his heart throb at the sight of their figures in swimsuits.

Mairu splashed more water at him with glee. “Well, you’re curious, aren’t you? You want to know more about our weird brother.”

“…”

He returned her question with a brief smile.

“I suppose I’ll just say that I don’t know what you mean.”

Their brother, Izaya Orihara, was a spiteful enemy of Aoba’s. He and Izaya had sparred remotely through a number of events in the past, and a particular circumstance at the present held them in strict hostility toward each other.

He’d never spoken about this to the twins, but they seemed to know something about it already. He was neither alarmed nor frightened by this circumstance, however. He’d been talking to the two for about four months, and he felt he had a good grasp on what they were like.

Compared with an ordinary family, they hardly had any contact at all with their brother.
