Youyi was a ghost who lived deep in the mountains. One day, he came down from the mountains for one simple reason: he had finally eaten all the food up there.
He planned to find another mountain to live in seclusion, but a twist of fate sent him on a journey into the city to find his little brother.
"My brother's name is You Ren. Pink hair, a savage look in his eyes, and kind of dumb. I heard he's the vessel of the King of Curses. Have you seen him?" Youyi asked, handing a picture to Nanami, a salaryman and jujutsu sorcerer just home from work.
Nanami: "..."

During his stay at Nanami's place, Youyi watched enough TV dramas to believe that reuniting with family would be heartwarming and wonderful. Reality, however, was nothing like his expectations.
Seeing his younger brother standing on the railing, laughing wildly with his clothes torn off and shouting, "I want women!", Youyi decided to give him a loving smackdown.
When his brother woke up, Youyi said earnestly, "Little brother, take your big brother's advice. People aren't good to eat."
You Ren: "..."

Lately, Nanami had been pondering a question: How much does it cost to keep a ghost?
He glanced at the dining table. Youyi was kneeling on his chair, serving food to You Ren and reminding him, "Little brother, you're still growing, so eat up. Tomorrow I'll take you clothes shopping. Whatever other people's little brothers have, I'll buy for you, too."
"..." Nanami looked away and pondered a different question: How much does it cost to keep a ghost and his little brother?

Some time later, someone came across this question online:
Question: What should you do if the ghost you want to keep only has eyes for his little brother?
Answer: Get rid of the little brother and take his place!
Nanami, who saw the reply: "..."
I don't want to be his little brother. I want to be his man.
Couple: Nanami
