Chapter 5: Inside Loneliness, A Single Hope Was Born

"......suu......suu....munyaa~"

"......He's so cute."

In the darkness, Chisome looked at Taiga and muttered.

Kuro Chisome, who is half of herself, is also staring at Taiga without blinking at all, and it is clear that even she, who should only recognize humans as food, sees Taiga as something special.

"I'm a little thirsty, so I'm going down to the living room. I leave Onii-chan to you okay."

Chisome left the room while being seen off by Kuro Chisome who nodded.

While pouring juice into a cup in the living room and moistening her thirsty throat, Chisome reflected on what had happened until now.

Chisome thought that the days she lived in emptiness would not change when she came here, but her resignation was easily betrayed in a good way.

"Onii-chan."

Taiga, whom Chisome met when she came to this house, changed everything for her.

From that day when Chisome was brought here to live, Chisome had no expectations from the beginning, thinking that she would only live in a different place.

However, Taiga was unlike anyone she had ever met.

From his voice to his compassion, everything about Taiga was kind and thoughtful of Chisome.

She was confused because it was a feeling she had never felt before, but even so, Chisome felt with Taiga's feelings as too comfortable.

Onii-chan knows a lot about me. I dont know why, but I dont care about those questions. As long as my Onii-chan is by my side, then I'm fine with whatever those things are."

How he even knows about her inner monster remains a mystery.

But no matter what the reason was, Taiga's eyes on Chisome never changed,

On the contrary, her heart was pounding, thinking that she might become even more obsessed with Taiga than she is now.

"... Haaahh"

The more she think about Taiga, the more immeasurable happiness that overflows from the depths of her heart.

In the first place, to the point of canceling out the unhappy life she had up until now...No, Chisome feels her happiness is to the extent that change comes and made through Taiga.

"My Onii-chan makes me happier, more than what I thought its going to be."

No matter how much she thanked him, it won't be enough. She has that much gratefulness to her.

How many things he gave to Chisome, Chisome always thanked him for that, so she think he understood, but even so, there is a part where Taiga thinks that all consideration for Chisome is natural.

"Is that natural? If so, it will be strange to all brothers and sisters in this world, who are not getting along with each other."

There are many good things about Taiga for Chisome.

Among them, the most impressive thing is, of course, nothing less than the exchanges for several days after meeting for the first time.

she didn't know how Taiga knew what Chisome had, but naturally, there were times when he was also terrified.

When he will be killed, and when he will be eaten, he certainly harbors such fears, but he has always treated Chisome and Kuro Chisome as if they were a precious family member.

"Let's go back quickly. I can't think of leaving when I'm thinking about Onii-chan." [TL note: she's still in the living room.]

"... Onii-chan"

Precisely because of Taiga, the two Chisomes smiled happily and huddled together.

It is no exaggeration to say that a new route has already been established, although this is a world where the two of them have no way of knowing.

Originally, Chisome grew up without knowing love, and because her supernatural powers were infinitely amplified, she could only think of others as nothing more than food..... However, once she learned about love and warmth, what she was supposed to have was reborn as love for Taiga.

"Chisome... to a child who is endlessly kind... that is my..."

"...Un, I know, Onii-chan."

Chisome nodded at Taiga's sleepless words.

she don't know why this power dwells in her, and she won't be using it blindly anymore from now on--but, except for one thing.

"I won't forgive anyone who harms Onii-chan. I won't forgive anyone who tries to steal our happiness. Nee, Onii-chan, you'll forgive me that much won't you?"

Of course there was no reply to her question, but Chisome closed her eyes in satisfaction.

A healing space that can only be felt by being on Taiga's side, a happiness that could not have been imagined just a little while ago and now Chisome... The two Chisomes were smiling.

------------

"... Mumumuu, Just what in the world."

As soon as he woke up, he did a little muttering while staring at the ceiling.

The moment he is awake in the morning, he felt a tremendous softness and warmth that spread through his body.

"........"

This situation where he was sleeping with Chisome on his left arm and the weightless Kuro Chisome on top of his body he finally remembered what happened yesterday.

"I see. so I did, like this, end up sleeping with the two of them."

They are both sleeping with really happy-like expression on their face.

As he gazed at their peaceful sleeping faces, he felt like an elder for wanting to watch over them even more strongly as their older brother.

"......she's so cute isn't she. I wonder how happy I would be if I could get married to a Chisome-like girl in the future. No, no, she's my stepsister and I'm allowed to, but... mufufu"

NotgoodNotgood, I thought of something strange and a disgusting smile spilled out.

He was worried that she might be listening, so he looked at Chisome, he was relieved that she was still sleeping, but he felt a single gaze staring at him.

"a"

That identity was... Kuro Chisome had her eyes open perfectly.

While she was staring at him, his cheeks gradually turned red and he covered his face with a futon.

"...By any chance, were you listening just now?"

When she affirms that, the futon trembled.

With the feeling he coudn't make any excuses, he vowed to be careful when he talk to himself from now on.
