Chapter 02 – Answer to Confession (Part 2)

“Huh?”

My sister let out a cry as I said so.

Thinking I must have missed the point, I told her again.

“I mean, let’s date as siblings.”

“No, Onii-chan, I can hear you well, but what is the point of dating if we’re going to stay just siblings? You mean you’re going to turn me down? Or is something wrong with your vocabulary?”

My sister asks me what I’m talking about, while spilling a few more tears.

“No, it’s not like that, I mean, let’s go out.”

Her eyes moistened with tears and she tilted her head expressing a ? with a troubled expression.

“You want to go out with me?”

“Yes, but we’ll be brother and sister.”

The wrinkles between her brows are getting more furrowed. And then more ??? showed in her expression.

It will leave wrinkles, dear sister.

I touched her wrinkled brow, loosening it and wiping her tears with my sleeve.

“Anyway, I don’t want to make you cry any more, besides, you may not like it after dating me, so I’m suggesting that we try to be moderate in our relationship, just like siblings.”

“Please.”

Shortly after I say so, my sister hugged me

“Un! That’s enough, thank you! I love you so much, big brother!”

“Oh god, I said in moderation… welp, can’t be helped then.”

I stroked her head and let her hold me until she calmed down.

#####

Thus we started dating.

Like most romance novels, I can’t just say, “That’s it, and the rest is unknown.”

And even if we decided to go out as siblings, there’s no way I could openly say we’re in a relationship.

Of course, I have no intention to tell my parents, or they’ll have a stroke.

“You sure about that?” So I asked my sister.

“The way my brother was behaving this morning, mom is surely going to find out—”

My sister who was crying until now said that to me, chuckling.

Seeing such a relaxed attitude, I asked her.

“Have you ever been with anyone, Shiori?”

“Eh~~~~ there’s no way, because I’ve always loved my big brother~~!”

“… I see.”

I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t contain myself.

When my sister saw me, she too went “Haa!” and then she turned her head up and looked at me with a bright red face.

Then said “Un”.

Ah, I just thought my sister was so cute, in a romantic way.

But I immediately shook my head to calm myself down.

Once I flapped my face and faced my sister, I asked her as her first boyfriend.

“So, how are we supposed to go out?”

I ask her pathetically, while my sister,

“Eh—? For the time being, why don’t we go to school together, watch movies, shop, and have tea together?”

A template date like in a manga, but how would people look at us if we went on a date together? I thought.

“Umm, well, at any rate, that’s about as far as we can go as siblings… right?”

“Maybe?”

“Then let’s start with what we can. Tomorrow we’ll go to school together, but act as normal as possible at school and home.”

“Un!”

This is how our relationship began.

######

We decided to go out with each other as close siblings for the time being.

I just thought it would be weird for my parents and friends if we suddenly became a lovey-dovey sibling.

So we made some light rules, like not going into each other’s rooms as usual, and being as normal as possible at school and in front of our parents.

Our relationship, which is a long way ahead of us, is going to start the next morning.

We woke up separately, as usual, had breakfast, and left the house separately.

The plan is that my sister goes out first, slows a bit, then I go out and catch up to her.

So I found her slowly walking in front of me, and “lock on—!”

As I was on the verge of catching up fast…

“Shiori— Morning—”

I saw two of my sister’s friends approach her.

Oh, yeah, she’s got a lot of friends.

I stared at her with distant eyes.

When my sister saw me, she looked sad for a moment and then rushed back to smile.

I passed her friend and walked past them as she answered “Good morning—” with a sideways glance.

“Isn’t that Shiori’s brother?” I heard a voice from behind.

“Huh? I don’t think so, he’s nothing like Shiori… he looks so normal, right?”

… Leave me alone!

The first event of our relationship, going to school together, ended up as a failure.

As usual, I’m trudging alone to school, ugh no one is talking to me…

I arrived at school. It was the first time at school since the entrance exam.

I headed to the classroom, comparing the class list and the school guide that I got at the entrance ceremony yesterday.

When I walked into class, I looked around for a familiar face since it was a high school that was close by.

I should’ve checked the class list earlier if there were any acquaintances, but I haven’t done so because I was busy with Shiori since yesterday.

I left early to go to school with my sister, so the classroom was still deserted.

When I was seated in my seat, my sister walked into the classroom.

“Good morning, Shiori—”

A few people greeted my sister despite the quiet.

Smiling, she sits in front of me, in other words, in the seat with her name posted in the order of the attendance slip numbers.

“Good morning, Onii-chan.”

You’re looking a little tense, dear sister. I mean, you live with us. Isn’t it funny that you greeted me in class?

“Oh, yeah, good morning.”

Soon after, her friends gather around her.

And seemingly there was no end to their talk.

Even as she was in a conversation she skips glances at me with her cheeks tinted red.

You’re cute, but you’re out of line if you blush while looking at your brother, dear sister.

And then, it came from behind me…

“Yuuuuuuuuuu, good morning!!!”

The girl who was a classmate of mine in junior high school, Asami Shisui, called out to me in a mellow tone of voice.

“Oo… Asami, you came to the same high school as me huh…”

“That’s right, I saw the class announcement paper yesterday, and I was a little relieved because I was in the same class as Yuu… I’m not very talkative, so I don’t have that many friends…”

“Ehehe” Asami giggles saying so.

She has a short bob, a little chubby, and even though she’s in her first year of high school, her b*****s are quite assertive, and her eyes slant down like a beckoning cat when she smiles.

She’s cute, but she’s been a reserved presence in her class since middle school, probably because she’s worried about her troglodyte speech.

We were in the same class in the second and third year of junior high school, and we were seated next to each other, and I guess you could say we were more like loner friends, so we talked a lot… Ah man, just forget it.

“Once again, let’s have a great year.”

As I watched Asami take her seat, I turned my head to look ahead.

I found my sister’s back emanating a dark aura.

“S-Shiori, is something wrong? What’s up with that face?”

One of her friends notices that something is wrong with my sister.

“No, it’s nothing.”

Though, I couldn’t see what kind of expression she had on her face
