Chapter 25: Not a Hero, Just Doing What I Like
"I love you," so I conveyed to Chisome
"................."
When Chisome stared at me in a daze, tears spilled out of her eyes.
I took out a handkerchief and wiped away one drop and then two drops of overflowing tears, but still, Chisome's tears wouldn't stop.
(......This is)
what's the best thing to do, that was when I was thinking.
The spot where my old man stabbed me, in other words, the spot where Kuro Chisome's blood was inside, became slightly hot, and at the same time, I felt that Chisome's feelings were conveyed directly to me.
The feeling I feel from her ...... is that the feeling of being happy.
"Chisome"
Gently embrace her close to my chest.
When I stroked her head, Chisome completely leaned on me, as if to let out the strength of her body, buried her face in my chest, and let out a voice.
".......Nii-san......I! I!!"
For me, it was a once-in-a-lifetime confession but, shall I wait quietly for now.
I hugged Chisome for the time being until she calmed down, but Kuro Chisome was also glued to my back and watching over the course of events.
".......It's already, fine now"
"Got it."
Saying that, Chisome separated from me.
The tears have stopped, but her eyes have become red, and I feel like she's going to end up shedding tears again soon if she lets her guard down.
Chisome laid her hands in front of her chest, stared at me intently and opened her mouth.
"I love Nii-san too.....I love you lots! Always, I want to be together with Nii-san forever!"
"I love you," Chisome conveyed to me so that she loved me.nove(l)bi(n.)com
As if she looks frantically trying with all her might to convey her feelings to me, I embraced Chisome as hard as I could.
At that moment, Chisome also wraps her arms around my back and hugs me tightly.
"......Chisomee!"
However I, here end up crying the volume. [Tl note no 1]
As I hugged Chisome, tears began to flow, but I couldn't even wipe the tears because I was holding Chisome with both hands.
Therefore, after some time, Chisome, who smiled wryly, wiped away my tears.
"Nii-san really cries a lot, dont you?"
"Because... because Chisome, that Chisome accepted my confession you know!? Of course I'm bound to cry right, I love you lots, Chisome!"
"A, Auu...... I love you too anyway!"
"Chisome!"
"Nii-san!"
......Just what are we doing I wonder.
After all the effort we've managed to convey our feelings and yet, it becomes like a comedy sketch exchange, well but we at this moment, have certainly taken a step towards a new relationship.
The fireworks continued to go off as before; no way did we have the time to look at them; so we kept looking at each other.
"Nee Nii-san"
"What?"
"Most likely, it's going to be difficult you know? I'm, not normal after all."
"It's too late for that sort of thing now isn't it. I've already accepted everything."
"....... I'm deeply jealous of that you know?"
"That's all fine. if anything do think of me that strongly."
I've already accepted everything about Chisome.
About Chisome's own power tooknowing everything and then, on top of that, accepting itI want to love everything about this girl you know, from here on out and forever.
"Oh yeah, that's right Chisome"
"a, un. I know Nii-san. Do please tell her."
"Ou."
Prompted by Chisome, I turned my eyes to Kuro Chisome.
Even to her, who looks at me and Chisome alternately, something exists that I mustn't not tell her about.
"I don't want to come this far only to say I don't know, but you are also the one I love, you know?"
Right, I also love Kuro Chisome.
I continued my words while hugging-like Chisome's shoulder.
"I'm not a hero who came from another world for the sake of saving Chisome. I'm just an ordinary person that's found anywhere who just likes Chisome."
"...... I think that's the part of what makes a hero riiight."
When I stroked Chisome's head, which was looking down, Chisome, who looked up, sticks out her lips.
"Before going to sleep, I want to kiss one more time."
"... Haha, me too you know."
And then I exchanged a kiss with her again.
I do wonder of what it tastes like when you kiss, but it doesn't taste, I can only have the good scent of Chisome when I draw near to her right, come to think of it.
"Is Nii-san going to bed already?"
"No, unfortunately I'm not sleepy yet."
"I see. If so there was one thing, I wanted to ask isn't it."
"Of what?"
"You take a liking to Shindou Misora-san, is it true?"
"...*Suu*" *inhale*
Eh, somehow the air is getting heavy you know.
Chisome is staring at me intently, but there is a tremendous amount of pressure put in her eyes, and there seems to be no escape for me.
"Just kidding. I'm already Nii-san's lover and I won't do something like jealousy. It's not that I'm conceited, but I also understand that Nii-san is so head over heels with me to the extent that it's hopeless"
"Obviously right. I can't see anyone other than Chisome as a love interest"
Fu~n, even in front of those soft-looking colossal breasts?
"......Of course!"
"Ahahaa! What's that pause for"
Chisome puts her hand over her mouth and smiles as if she is really happy.
And then she jumped into my chest again, looked up and said,
"I can't stop Nii-san from liking other girls, can I? Of course, in a romantic sense, it's only natural to have you be the one who looks only at me, but even so, I will beat them all with my charm. The only people that are fine to monopolize Nii-san's heart are me and that girl...... that's why Nii-san. I won't let you get away anymore"
"........."
Those words were undoubtedly the condensation of Chisome's desire to monopolize.
On this day, Chisome and I took a step from being brother and stepsister (sister-in-law) to lovers.
There may be various difficulties, but we can overcome anything....... Because those kinds of feelings came to me, the weight of the words "the existence of precious ones" felt too much big.
"I love you lotsOnii-chan"
"Aa, me too Chisome."
The current Chisome and the former Chisome overlapped.
Both of them are still Chisome, no distinction, but I was more than happy to see that girl's smile in this way, who had been in despair at that time, that I cried again.
Rikudou Chisome
A girl who can no longer trust people due to past events.
By eating his brother and father who tried to assault her, the last tag came off and she became mentally ill and transformed into a monster that devoured everything.
Deep down in her heart, she hoped to be saved, but the fact that she herself thought she wasn't worth it was one of the reasons she went insane.
"There is no such people who will save me... much less such people who will give me love, there is absolutely no way such people exist!"
The other inner Chisome
Another Chisome who lives inside Chisome.
In what way it was born, in what way it exists, I didn't know anything about it until the end.
The feeling of worrying about Chisome, who is broken under the influence of her own power, is genuine, and by the time she (Chisome) was in the third year of junior high school, her spirit (Kuro Chisome's spirit) grew with the desire to support her, and she (Kuro Chisome) came to regard herself like her(Chisome) older sister.
"I don't mind whoever it is, that girl just save her.......!"
That's all, these are explanations after clearing (the game) that Taiga already does not remember.
[Author's Afterword]
And so, one volume, or rather, something like a prologue is over.
To be honest, it was the first time for me to write the "in the first chapter, kill relatives" pattern though, if everyone liked this Chisome character even a little, I would be happy.
Evaluation, etc, if you don't mind, please!
Now then, the continuation I'll do my best!
[Tl note no 1: MC here is trying to make a skit-comedy-like? about the part where he cries. It's a Japanese thing that's not quite understandable to some most readers, probably.]
