CH 34

"......?"

The day of Chisome's birthday finally arrived, but of course it's a weekday, as it was a school day.

During the lunch break after lunch, on my way back from the toilet, I spotted a guy and girl talking on the landing of the stairs and stopped in my tracks.

"Souma and Akane huh?"

There was the protagonist Souma and the senior (senpai) heroine Kitagawa Akane.

This is the first time I've witnessed a moment when those two are talking like this, but although Chisome had slammed him so badly, Souma in particular doesn't seem to have given up or anything.

"......I've seen her from a distance, but I see, as expected, it's an amazing heroine aura."

Kitagawa Akane, a senior who will be one year above us.

With a (hair) red wolf cut and sharp eyes, she has an androgynous beauty that would make any woman end up fascinated by her when she dresses up as a man.

Though I say androgynous, it does not mean that she looked like a man in particular, but there was, a beauty that was completed as a woman.

"Akane's story has quite a bit of drama to it didn't it~."

Among the yandere heroines, with the exception of Chisome, Akane's story was rather elaborate.

First of all, she has a ripe modeling career, but the protagonist becomes so important that she prioritizes him over work.

In the middle of that, how to get along with the protagonist and herself as a model, while being stuck between those two things, the story of growing up with the protagonist......though it's true that she's also a yandere, however, the story was a bit peculiar from the other heroines.

"It doesn't seem like he's messed with Misora at all lately anyway, so surprisingly until now he's been looking back at himself and become proper might be――"

Such is what I thought, but it doesn't seem like that was the case.

"Naa Akane, go on a date the next day off, let's?"

"Why do I have to go on a date with you? To begin with, as I've said before, you're getting a little too familiar. Do you think that's going to make girls gladly nod their heads?"

......Ah~un, nothing seems to have changed.

Even if everything is not completely different from the game, I wish him to understand that you can be loved or hated with just one action.

Misora aside, Akane, as far as I'm concerned, since there is no particular entanglement with her at the moment, I decided to let it pass.

"Oh, you're back."

"Well and come Taiga"

"Welcome back Rikudou-san."

"......Why is Shindou here?"

When I returned to the classroom, if Shinji and Kouki were waiting near my desk, that would still be alright, but today Shindou is with them.

These three people should have never been together before, and they laughed at me, who was stunned.

"Well, it'd be become like that right."

"No worries, Taiga. We too ain't knowing why did it turn out like this anyway, Shindou's vigour......how imma put it, it's kind of eerie――"

"Did you say something?"

"It's nothing!!"

......really just what happened.

The one who told the details to the curious me was Misora herself.

"Thinking of this opportunity, I asked the two about Rikudou-san. As a friend of Rikudou-san, how do you see Rikudou-san, as he interacts with his sister."

"Fu~n?"

".......the vigour was real bad though"

"Yeah. If I didn't talk, I was going to be killed kind of vigour."

Misora turned her gaze, glaring, toward Kouki, and when Kouki received that gaze, his body trembled and he averted his gaze.

"......Uhh, are you that curious?" (Taiga)

"Of course!!" (Shindou)

With her big breasts shaking like jelly, she closed the distance.

Misora made both hands clench tightly into fists and started talking with tremendous vigour.

"As expected, I had thought it was a bit creepy! Even so, I still wanted to hear what I wanted to hear! Chisome-san, who I had the chance to talk to once before! I wonder in what way Rikudou-san spends his time with such a cute person......Ah, when it comes to older brother and younger sister, they are so presh that no matter how much I think about it, my feelings overflow!"

"O, Ou......"

Let's affirm it, Misora's tastes ended up completely changed.

Or rather, this girl knows the word presh......when I looked at Shinji and Kouki's faces, I felt like I somehow understood their hardships. [Tl note no 1]

(......But it's a little scary this girl. No matter how she's my second favorite character after Chisome, to have her being our stalker is a straight no, thank you.)

Well, I do think that somehow it won't become like that, so nothing's to worry about, though.

When school time ends like that, the long-awaited moment to celebrate Chisome and Mashiro's birthdays arrives.

After finishing dinner, I served the cake in front of the two of them just like last year, and cracked the crackers I had bought. [Tl note: it's a birthday crackers.]

"Chisome! Mashiro! Happy birthday!"

"Thank you Nii-san!"

“Onii-sama......Thank you......-!”

Chisome rejoiced, and Mashiro cried with joy.

Chisome and I tried to comfort Mashiro, who started crying, but she said it was okay and stopped crying after some time.

"......Umm, it because I've come to understand a lot more than last year. And so, I was happy that I was celebrated in the same way as Chisome."

"I see."

"From now on, it will be this every year, that's why we have to get used to it, okay?" 

As Chisome said, I, from now on and always, intend to continue doing the same thing every year.

Well, there will be no more of silly fuss making as if to make the most of child's privilege to one's heart's content like this I think, Even so, I want to cherish the moment when I can celebrate my little sisters like this.

"Before eating the cake, is it fine for just a minute, both of you?"

"e?"

"??"

I came up to their side and embraced them with my arms wide open.

A little while ago, both of them should have looked even slightly surprised if I suddenly did something like this and yet, Chisome and Mashiro didn't seem particularly surprised, they accepted my hug and turned their arms around as if to return it.

"I really love you lots you know. Chisome, Mashiro...... Thank you for coming to me. As a big brother and as a man, it was your existence that made me grow. That's why thank you, from now on too and for many more years to come, let's get along okay?"

When I said that, Mashiro started crying again though, even Chisome ended up in tears.

Instead of panicking, I wonder about what they wanted, and when I thought about it, what I did was to hold them to my chest.

“Nii-san......Just how much will Nii-san make us feel these happy feelings!?”

"I just said what I thought though......I absolutely don't have any intention to make you cry you know!"

"I know that......I know, but every word you say gives our hearts a critical hit and direct attack!!"

"In other words, it makes you happy, is it fine to put it as is?"

"That's right!!"

This......if I give them another present I prepared, will it be okay?

I had thought, as expected, it might be too heavy; but because I thought it was not especially expensive of a thing, and to the last as an accessory, it had a strong of a meaning, so I bought one.

(......For now, I'll do it after we eat the cake first, I guess)

When the two finally calmed down, the three of us ate the cake together.

By the time we finished eating the cake, Chisome aside, since Mashiro had returned to her usual state, it gives me peace of mind for now.

"The cake Nii-san bought for us is really delicious isn't it."

"Un. I can still eat no matter how much."

“Isn’t Mashiro eating a little too much?”

"I won't get fat, so I'm fine. Chisome is different."

"a?"

“Eh, was it no good to say that? You should have gained a little weight.”

"My chest got bigger! It's not like my stomach is sticking out in any way okay!?"

e? You mean it's still growing!?

I feel like I spontaneously opened my eyes so wide that I thought my eyeballs might fall out, but it doesn't seem like they had seen that creepy look on my face, so I'm glad.

I came to know about Chisome's physical changes along the way, but...... for now, it'll be fine around this part I guess.

"You two, actually I have one more present."

"There's still more?" At the two who look so surprised, I smile wryly.

It's something I've always been wondering what to do and continuing to get lost about, and in the end it became something I put together in mind, that I want to buy and give to the two.

I took it out of the bag I had left in the living room in advance, and without any particular pretensions, I put it out in front of the two.

"......e!?"

"......Isn't that"

Chisome, who instantly understood; and Mashiro, who was comparing and adjusting the knowledge from her own memory......while the two were showing the exact opposite look, I held it out to them.

"This is the pairing I bought. It's not something as exaggerated as a wedding ring, but since it's something that stays in shape anyway and can be worn, wonder if this would be fine I thought, so I prepared it." [Tl note no 2]

"......Nii-san......-!"

"Ah......that kind of thing......eh......eh?"

What I wanted as a present for the two was a pairing.

As I said, it's not such a thing as exaggerated as a wedding ring, but it's true that it has a similar meaning.

The two looked at my face alternating between the pairings......and cried.

I tried my best to somehow comfort them, but I couldn't quite get them to stop crying, and the fact that they were too happy they couldn't stop crying made me even happier.

“Nii-san......I love you lots......I really love you so much, I love you.”

“Onii-sama......I like......like......I love you.”

At the heartfelt words of the two, I too cried as well.

By the way, that day's night until I went to bed was really tough......it was because after I gave them the present, they didn't want to move away from me at all, for they were pressing those voluptuous bodies of theirs against me even harder than usual.

"......Fhew"

In the middle of the night, when I came out of the toilet, I let out a small sigh.

"Somehow I hold out see, you idiots."

[Author's Afterword]

Next time volume two!

[Tl note no 1: I couldn't translate it into English literally, but it's about slang in Japanese. So, presh, in raw is actually"てぇてぇ, teetee" which means "尊い, toutoi" means in english "precious". There is actually a page explaining where this slang comes from, and so I'll be giving you the summary.

Originally, the word "尊い, toutoi, precious" was used to describe a situation in which people who enjoy two-dimensional content and otaku-oriented culture have strong feelings, similar to religious beliefs, toward a character or work of art that go beyond "萌え, moe" (source the link leads to a japanese website, nicovideos.)]

[TL note no 2: It's something you can wear and remember. Also its a pair of rings, in japanese, pairing means a rings made for two or something like that, just google it here "ペアリング", pearingu. The image I get is a bunch of incomprehensible rings that looks like made for wedding? or maybe fiancee? or maybe engagement? idk, its a lot of stylish rings that's for sure.]

[Announcement]

Thank you for being together with the series for so long. We finally get around to the end of this interlude, from the next chapter and onwards, will be volume 2 (which I haven't read at all btw).

Now then, there's no need for me to specifically make this announcement thingy right? There's more to it right?

Well, yes, and I must truthfully speak this also.

So you see how I fared this past week yes? no? okay. Anyway you can tell from the upload dates of these chapters, that I'm losing speed and control over my upload schedule (not that there were ever any), each series has their own issue and troubles, you know, stuff with them, and I'm not saying this series had any in fact there isn't any problem with this series, alright, enough excuses.

I want a break. A long one that is. I'm not in the mood to translate, I've had it enough with this, I'm so having none of it! And as I said this before, the other series I'm doing did not make this any better either!

I shall take the rights and liberties of my own life to have what should be natural!!

With all that being said, I'll be taking a break for about two weeks or so, and I'll be back maybe on December 18 or 20. and no I'll be doing no what special chapter or anything like that. Nothing serious is going on; this break is just casual. And so, I thank you for reading it all the way here, and I wish you......a good day! and I'm truly sorry for the inconveniences ._.) Well then, bye-bye! (for now.)
