Chapter 15: Knowing Nothing Is a Sin
It's been a while since the stalker case with Chisome.
Chisome and I are still getting along well every day, but with summer just around the corner, my birthday is approaching.
"Nii-san's Birthday, I'll make sure to celebrate it lots 'kay!! I'll return plenty the happiness that time you gave me to my Nii-san!"
I couldn't help but shed tears at those words that were released with the best smile.
I will be 16 years old in August next month..... Well, just the fact that Rikudou Taiga overlaps with the age of being 16 years old is already giving something really moving about it.
By the way, I was the one who celebrated it before but Chisome's birthday is in December.
"This guy did his mouth grinnin' again man"
"This gotta be him thinking 'bout Chisome-chan right."
Shinji and Kouki are saying something, but even if I give a care, it can't be helped.
Today's school time had already ended and it was after school, and today I was wandering around town to play with the two of them.
For some reason, I often prioritize time with Chisome, so even though we are friends, I couldn't really make and spare my time after becoming a high school student.
In any case, real thanks for inviting me.
"Just think of it as good."
I think that if Im with Taiga, Ill be able to receive the benefits of riajuu you know.
"No you won't....."The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
[TL note: Riajuu is internet slang for somebody who has a good life.]
I'm a riajuu... I'd like to deny that, but I wonder if I'm a riajuu when I'm living under the same roof with a transcendent beautiful girl named Chisome... Hehe.
"....This guy is making that smug face.""
"Well of course he will.... Naa Taiga"
"What?"
Kouki suddenly stopped.
When I was tilting my head wondering what happened, Kouki said something like this.
You know, ever since Chisome-chan came to Taigas side Really, you've become good didn't you.
"... Suddenly what's wrong?"
"Don't let him get your butt, don't let him!"
I could feel the wave of love for a moment... It's just a joke.
I'm begging you, please don't misunderstand me....... well, its exactly what I said. Maybe its because youve made an existence to protect, that your mental have gotten stronger and it makes you looking as good.
"U~n?"
It's true that in order to protect Chisome, I always hold the feeling that I don't want to make her cry, and the current me is living and in contact with her together, as expected, that kind of appearance would look like that from the perspective of my friends huh.
"But are you okay?"
"e?"
If you have a sister like that, I understand how you feel about being overprotective, but it's kinda like arent you pushing yourself to death or sacrificing your time?
"... Ah~"
I see, certainly, it is also possible to see it that way.
I first told Shinji by saying that I would never do that, and while thinking about Chisome, I said what I wanted to convey.
"I don't think it's unavoidable for people to think that way, but its not like I did sacrifice anything you know, even though things may look that way. On the contrary, I'm getting along well with Chisome every day, and it's nothing but happy things."
When I told him that, Shinji and Kouki suddenly hitted me on the shoulder.
"I know that already and it damages me to worry for you!"
"Some real envy i'm feeling right now really!"
"It hurts..... DAAaaahhhhh get away from me!!"
Even if the words used are strong and though they are hitting me, it's not like it hurts and in fact they put smile on my face.
No matter how envious or jealous they may be, no matter how far they go, these are my friends who understand me.
"In that case"
"Do you mind if I just say a few words? You better stop forcing your opinions on others. There might be some painful reprisals, you know? "
"Are you threatening me?"
No, it's not a threat at all really... it just, it's not me, it's about Chisome.
There are many things I want to say, and of course it's only obvious he would get angry if I say something selfish...
But later on I think it's about us brother and sister that this guy is trying to stick his nose in, and it's because he's imposing a nonexistent imagination on Chisome.
(......Probably, there must have been several people who stepped the wrong way into Chisome like this and were eaten, just without a description.)
However... The more you act according to your own sense of justice, from the perspective of others, there is no existence that is so annoying or troublesome as that.
No matter what I say here, it probably won't reach this guy...... unless it comes from Chisome herself.
"You're talking about something interesting aren't you, Nii-san. In addition... Tougou-kun?"
I heard Chisome's voice behind me, as if she had been waiting for it.
When I turned around, Chisome was there, but... she stared at Tougou with an expressionless face. The shadow at Tougou's feet was shaking, but on the contrary, just looking at it makes my heart feel tighter.
"Chiso... Rikudou-san! I'm thinking of you"
"Aa un. It's fine you don't have to say anything. I'm listening to what you were talking about."
"e?"
Chisome stood in front of me with her expressionless expression as before and continued her words.
Nee, Tougou-kun, if you were looking at the everyday me and saying that to my Nii-san... You, don't have eyes for girls, do you?"
"......Chisome?"
I know this already but, Chisome, you're pretty sharp aren't you.
"First of all, what are you to me? aren't you just a total stranger? I really want you not to just butt in into other family affairs however you want. More than anything, can you please don't judge me as unhappy? I love my Nii-san this much, and I think of him when I cook and make bentou lunches and yet"
Chisome grabbed my arm and let out a final word.
"I hate people like you, never talk to me again."
"..."
This will break anyone's heart I'm sure of it...
Tougou looked down as if he had come to his senses and ran away.
"Haaa *sigh* oh no oh dear...... Right, Nii-san is anything wrong?"
"....Fuu"
I breathe a sigh of relief.
It's true that I had a strong resentment towards Tougou halfway through, but after Chisome showed up, I was rather nervous.
"..... there"
"a......"
I pointed my finger at Kuro Chisome, who was still staring at Tougou's back.... It's a good thing that we are the only people who can see her, this child had her hand on his neck the whole time.
"Ahaha, that's how angry she was. Of course me too"
"Yeah I know..... that's right. Naa Chisome, wanna go bowling?
"Wanna!!"
So many things happened, but finally I can go bowling.
Shinji and Kouki were overjoyed to bring Chisome along, and including Chisome, enjoyed playing after school.
"... Oh my, that child is--"
"Is something the matter, ma'am?"
"No, it's nothing."
[Author's Note]
Regarding the tag harem, it's just because there are two Chisome, so I'm not thinking about heroines other than Chisome at the moment.
