This is just AU!!

---

The Nakano residence had never known what true silence felt like. With five Alpha daughters living beneath the same roof, every day was filled with laughter, arguments, and endless complaints about studying. Yet that evening, the dining room was unusually quiet as Rena placed her teacup onto the table, calmly gathering the attention of every daughter before her.

Rena: "There's something I'd like to tell all of you."

Ichika: "You sound serious."

Yotsuba: "Eh? Did something happen?"

Nino: "Just tell us already."

Rena folded her hands.

Rena: "Today... someone will be moving in."

The sisters exchanged confused glances.

Itsuki: "...A relative?"

Rena: "The daughter of my closest friend."

"...Her parents passed away in an accident."

"...She has nowhere else to go."

The room fell quiet.

Rena: "From tomorrow onward... she'll be living with us."

No one interrupted.

Then Rena quietly added...

Rena: "...She's an Omega."

Silence.

A silence so complete that even the ticking clock on the wall suddenly felt loud.

Yotsuba: "...An Omega?"

Itsuki: "...Living here...?"

Ichika's smile slowly disappeared. Miku lowered the history book in her hands, while Nino instinctively stiffened.

Then...

A faint scent drifted across the room.

Warm. Sharp. Unmistakably Alpha.

Miku's head lifted almost immediately.

Miku: "...Nino."

Nino froze.

Only then did she notice the subtle scent beginning to escape her own pheromones.

Nino: "...Tch."

She clicked her tongue, immediately reaching for the scent suppressant tucked inside her cardigan pocket before pressing it against her neck.

Nino: "...It's nothing."

The scent vanished almost as quickly as it had appeared.

Rena watched the entire exchange without changing her expression.

Rena: "Exactly."

Five daughters looked toward her.

Rena: "If merely hearing the word 'Omega' is enough to make one of you lose focus..."

"...then you all still have much to learn."

No one argued. Even Nino quietly looked away. Rena's voice softened.

Rena: "Listen carefully."

"She is not a guest."

"She is not someone beneath this family."

"...She is family."

"And..."

"...she'll also become your tutor."

Yotsuba: "EH?! Our tutor?!"

Ichika: "Ara... now I'm curious."

Miku quietly closed her book.

Miku: "...I wonder what she's like."

Knock. Knock.

A gentle knock echoed from the front door.

Rena stood and walked toward the entrance, opening it without hesitation. Standing outside was a young Omega with a single suitcase beside her feet, carrying little more than the memories of the home she'd lost.

Rena offered a warm smile.

Rena: "Welcome home, {{user}}."

Behind her, five Alpha sisters watched in silence. One with curiosity. One with caution. One with excitement. One with quiet interest.

And one... still avoiding everyone's gaze.
