Volume 1 - CH 33

My Little Sister has A Hard Time Telling the Truth

The heater has been turned off, the wind breeze is coming in through the window.

The curtains are swaying and the sunlight is shining through the window.

Sounds of birds chirping can also be heard from outside.

Calm, quiet, and peaceful time passes—

“…more!”

“Sure.”

Haruta is in a middle of a meal at the Fuyuno’s household dining table.

They are peacefully eating their meal.

“…here you go.”

“Thanks.”

Haruta goes over to the curry dish that Fuyu just brought, and once again begins to eat it.

“I’m sorry…I got overwhelmed and fell silent.”

“Hmm? Ah, sorry. I’m got too focused on eating.”

Haruta has almost finished the curry that Fuyu just brought as he said so.

“Mama scolded me for making too much of this curry yesterday. She said we wouldn’t be able to finish it even if we eat it for three days.”

“Ah…did you make four portions of it?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Sometimes I get spaced out when I’m cooking and make our usual portion.”

“I’m grateful you made too much curry. I’m starving right now.”

Haruta stopped at some convenience stores several times to rehydrate, but he hadn’t eaten anything since last night.

Riding a motorcycle is exhausting.

It’s only natural that riding a motorcycle all night would consume all of Haruta’s energy.

“I haven’t had curry in a long time, but Fuyu’s curry really is the best curry in the world.”

“You’re praising me too much…”

Although Fuyu is blushing, she seems to be happy about it.

Haruta didn’t mean to make Fuyu blush.

Curry has always been Haruta’s favourite food, but the spiciness and richness of Fuyu’s curry is just the best curry in the world for Haruta.

“Whew, that was delicious! Thank you for the food!”

Haruta finished his curry in no time.

“You finished it all…? Onii-chan, you’re going to get fat, you know?”

“I’m just replenishing my energy. Besides, it’s been a long time since I’ve had Fuyu’s curry. It would be a shame to waste them.”

Haruta used to eat Fuyu’s curry at least once a month.

Haruta is happy to eat to his heart’s content.

They move into the living room and relax for a while.

“You haven’t slept at all haven’t you, onii-chan? You can go ahead and use my bed, get some sleep please, onii-chan.”

“No, I slept a little on my motorcycle.”

“That is clearly not sleeping, you need to take a proper rest.”

Unfortunately, Fuyu is right.

“This way.”

Fuyu takes Haruta’s hand, leaves the living room, goes down the hallway and opens a door.

A nostalgic smell can be smelled.

“It smells like Fuyu…”

“Eh? Isn’t it obvious?”

This is the smell that has disappeared from Haruta’s room.

It’s just her usual room for Fuyu—but for Haruta, it is a nostalgic smell that makes him wants to cry.

“Anyway, there is basically nothing on your room…!”

“I-I’m sorry.”

“No, don’t apologize…but it’s really empty here, isn’t it?”

The room is about eight tatami mats big with wooden flooring.

The white carpet is obviously cheap, and the wooden desk also looks so cheap that Haruta wonders if it was bought at a 100-yen store.

There is no bed in Fuyu’s room, just a futon on the floor.

Then there’s a closet and a dresser that they used to share together at home.

There is also a 20-inch TV and a game console.

This room has everything Fuyu needs—but there is not much furniture.

The desk is overly organized, and the dresser which Fuyu used to clutter her cosmetics is strangely tidied up.

The most unusual aspect of this room is the lack of decorations. One would expect a middle school girl’s room to be full of decorations.

“Ah, I know this isn’t exactly a bed, but it’s comfortable enough to sleep.”

“What is this? Mom didn’t buy you any furniture?”

“No, it’s not that. I just want my furniture to be cute, and there are not a lot of cute furniture here.”

“You’re being too selective.”

Haruta almost bit his tongue accidentally.

‘Reizen, you didn’t tell me about this room.’

Haruta thought so to himself.

She would have definitely entered Fuyu’s room when she came visit her in the summer, but she didn’t tell Haruta anything about it.

“I’m planning to go back to onii-chan after all. So I didn’t buy much things in case I move out.”

“I guess so…”

It must’ve been uncomfortable in this room.

But hearing the reason why Fuyu kept her room as simple as possible makes Haruta happy. It’s not a delusion that Fuyu is planning to go back to Haruta.

“You can look at my room as much as you want later, please go to bed and take some rest for now.”

“If I just ate and went to bed right away, it would make me fat.”

“It’s fine for once in a while, but onii-chan, haven’t you lost some weight?”

“My weight hasn’t changed much. It looks like I’ve lost some fat and gained muscle through my part-time job.”

“M-Muscles…you’re so manly, onii-chan…”

Fidgeting, Fuyu glances at Haruta’s body.

She seems to be very interested in Haruta’s well trained body.

“Just as you saw in the bathtub earlier.”

“I didn’t even have time to look at your muscles. Ah, please go to sleep now, you need some rest. How many times to I have to tell you this?”

“Yeah, yeah.”

Haruta lies down on the futon.

Fuyu’s sweet scent is stronger and sweeter in this futon.

“Why don’t you also sleep, Fuyu? You must be tired to wake up so early.”

“Eh…”

Fuyu starts to fidget. Haruta can clearly see that Fuyu’s ears are turning red.

“So does that mean, we’ll continue where we left off…”

“Eh? Ah, no, no, no! I’m just saying why don’t you also sleep next to me! You must be really tired also, right?”

That’s right—

Haruta and Fuyu did not cross the line.

Haruta couldn’t do it with the girl who was his ‘little sister’.

Fuyu also became scared of herself trying to do it with the boy who was her ‘older brother’.

One more thing—if they had one more thing to push them, they would’ve crossed the line.

But they did not cross the line.

Haruta doesn’t know what Fuyu thinks about it.

At least on Haruta’s side—

The softness of his little sister’s delicate body touched by his hands, Fuyu’s soft lips, the sweet voice that she let out, aroused him and made him hesitate at the same time.

Haruta can still remember the high-pitched voice Fuyu let out when Haruta’s hand touched there.

That voice—stopped Haruta.

“I-I see. Well then, I’ll gladly accept your offer…”

Poof, Fuyu lies down on the futon.

The futon is designed for one person, so it’s pretty cramped.

Fuyu who is dressed in a white one-piece dress, is pressing her body against Haruta.

“But I’m a little nervous, I don’t think I’ll sleep anytime soon.”

“…would you like to talk about something?”

“Come to think of it, I want to hear more about you, Fuyu.”

“Ehh, but I want to hear more about you—can I ask you something, onii-chan?”

“Yeah, sure. What is it?”

“Are you dating Akiho-san?”

“…yeah.”

It was out of the blue.

“You said you wouldn’t kill me if I have a girlfriend, right?”

“Yeah, I won’t kill you. If I wanted to, I would’ve come after you already.”

“You’re really scary Fuyu…”

Fuyu is a quiet person, but she can be scary for some particular reasons sometimes.

Haruta knows this very well because they have known each other for a long time.

Haruta recalls his conversation with Reizen about the other side of Fuyu on Line.

“Did you hear it from Akiho…?”

“No, I’ve been communicating with Akiho-san on Line, but I haven’t got the chance to ask her properly about it. I don’t know why but…I have a good instinct for that kind of thing.”

“…you’re a lot sharper than me Fuyu.”

It even took some time for Haruta to notice the situation at Fuyu’s new school.

But Fuyu knew that Haruta and Akiho is dating just by sensing their messages on Line.

“I don’t care…I don’t mind if onii-chan has a girlfriend.”

Chuu, Fuyu lightly kisses Haruta.

“…do you really not mind I have a girlfriend? You’re kissing me.”

“Yeah, I don’t mind, because I’m onii-chan’s little sister. I still want to be your little sister. That’s why I don’t mind you having a girlfriend.”

“Sister, huh…”

What Fuyu just said is just too convenient for Haruta.

Haruta is dating Akiho, even though they didn’t cross the final line, but he did something like that with Fuyu—

Even now, they are lying side by side on a futon while kissing each other.

But still, Fuyu forgives Haruta that he is dating Akiho.

‘Do I want to be Fuyu’s brother? Or do I want to be—?’

It’s not a question that can be answered so easily.

“What mama and papa said doesn’t matter. I don’t care about invisible things like genes.”

“Fuyu…you’ve opened up a lot.”

“Ehehehe, compliment me more onii-chan.”

Fuyu hugs Haruta tightly and kisses him softly.

“I don’t care what people say about our relationship anymore. As long as mama and papa don’t mind about it.”

“Don’t worry about dad, he lied to us for sixteen years, so I think it’s okay if we lie to him too.”

“If onii-chan says so, I don’t mind.”

Fuyu continues to cling onto Haruta tightly.

“And I don’t mind about Akiho-san either.”

“Is it…really not bothering you?”

“Because I have a boyfriend as well.”

“……!”

Haruta’s heart begins to throb the second Fuyu said so.

Haruta knows he is too selfish.

With the exceptionally cute Fuyu, Haruta is prepared for her to have a boyfriend. Haruta knows sooner or later Fuyu will have a boyfriend.

Even if Fuyu has a boyfriend, Haruta is still going to take Fuyu with him.

But still—Haruta’s heart hurts so much knowing that.

“Just kidding. Onii-chan, your eyes were astonishing, you were really surprised, weren’t you?”

“……”

Haruta takes a deep breath to catch his breath.

“…no, I think that you will have a boyfriend eventually, it’s just a matter of sooner or later…it can’t be helped.”

“I’m not good enough to have a boyfriend. If I had a boyfriend, I wouldn’t have been bullied.”

“If you had a boyfriend, he might have protected you from those girls…”

“A group of girls is scary. Those girls from earlier are in the top group of my school. If boys touch them, they will get hurt. There are also that kind of groups at my previous school…so I know it when I see one.”

“I guess so.”

Haruta pats Fuyu’s head gently.

Fuyu was in a famous group herself, Fuyu, Hikawa, and Reizen are the most popular girls in their school.

Fuyu is an exceptionally beautiful girl after all, where Hikawa and Reizen are also quite cute.

When these three beautiful girls were together, it was enough to make people around them disinclined.

“I don’t need a boyfriend even if he will protect me. I’m just a little girl, all I need is my onii-chan.”

“But I…”

“Well, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think anything of it, but…it’s not bad that my brother has a beautiful girlfriend.”

“I-Is that so?”

“Maybe I’m special. It doesn’t matter whether I’m beautiful or not, I’ll still be ostracized because I’m a brocon.”

“Ostracism is a scary thing.”

“Ahaha, sorry for bringing that up.”

Fuyu giggles as she rubs her cheek against Haruta’s chest.

“To be honest, I was a bit surprised about it, but I’m not too bothered about it because it’s Akiho-san.”

“I knew it, you’re bothered about it after all… I can’t seem to understand what she’s thinking, but I know that she is not a bad person.”

“I never really liked her.”

Haruta can’t tell that Fuyu is complaining or not.

“To tell you the truth, I’m kind of angry.”

“Yeah…”

In fact, it would be shocking to Haruta if Fuyu thought nothing of it.

“But…but onii-chan came for me, so I’m going to forgive it. I told you before onii-chan, at the park…onii-chan is my hero.”

Chuu…Fuyu gets on top of Haruta and kisses him softly.

Haruta strokes Fuyu’s soft hair.

“You were like a hero until you showed up late.”

“Better late than never…”

Fuyu’s body weight feels comfortable for Haruta.

The feel of Fuyu’s soft hair, her sweet scent, her ample b*****s, and her gentle voice that tickles Haruta’s ears.

As long as Fuyu is in Haruta’s arms—nothing else matters.

Haruta feels as if he is going to melt away with the comfort of holding Fuyu’s—his little sister’s delicate body.
