Chapter 44: The Two's Heart

Chapter 44: The Two's Heart

Recently, when I suddenly wake up at night, I like to watch at a certain moment.

That is spread out in front of my eyes now; if I were to specifically explain it, it's the figure of Nii-san and Mashiro sleeping while embracing each other happily.

"Somehow, it's nice isn't it, this kind of thing"

Nii-san and Mashiro are precious existence to me.

It's unmistakably an existence that I have to protect no matter what happens, and if it were to end up disappearing, I myself would end up broken I think....... That's how important their existence is.

Jealous regarding Nii-san and Mashiro hugging each other? No way I'm going to do so; I mean, Mashiro is also me, that's why.

"The time is...... 3 o'clock. I ended up waking up at a delicate time aren't I."

I muttered so and got out of bed and headed to the living room.

When I poured cold water into the glass and slowly let it go down my throat, I couldn't help but feel that my remaining drowsiness was blown away, but I was thirsty so it couldn't be helped.

"......Aah delicious."

I put down the glass and think back to today.

Misora-senpai and Yuika-senpai came when I was waiting for Nii-san, and I have gotten along so well with those two that even I myself was surprised by it.

Though Yuika-senpai is still the only one I let know about Mashiro, it's not a joke when I tell Nii-san that I think it might be okay to have to tell Misora-senpai someday.

"Will they betray or will they not betray, it's too blunt a reason on top of making friends, but it's precious to us."

I don't care about betrayal itself, but I'm always thinking to the extent of eating them without hesitation if they do something to Nii-san.

But those two are so crazy that I don't really worry about it.

"......Fufuu, they are crazy; is it a bit cruel to say that, I wonder~"

I smiled wryly.

However, this alone is true that as far as those two are concerned, they are clearly so strange than anyone I've met up until now that I end up thinking like so, and of course in a good way okay.

"Nevertheless, Byouai......huh~ it's a really strange feeling."

The things about this world that I have Nii-san taught me were truly full of surprises.

In the first place, it's natural that there's no way I can think that this world I myself live in is such a thing as a game world, but it was also quite refreshing to hear that the moment I put my hands on her, I would go at full speed to the dead end, the landmine heroine.

"As long as one is the heroine, you want her to be a cute girl right~."

Well, I have absolute confidence in my appearance anyway, I'm also cute and beautiful, and furthermore, I'm proud of my sexy figure as well.

Of course, the only one who can touch this body is Nii-san, but still, the heroine who promises death is, something like this......I also thought it suited me well.

"In the game, I was a monster who didn't bond with anyone and would eat and kill anyone who approached me. But in this world, I am tied to Nii-san, and I am also not swayed by my own power......isn't thatproof that I can't fall in love with someone other than Nii-san?"

It means that I've recently started thinking about things like that, too.

Although I say Nii-san, it's the current Nii-san, and perhaps it's not about the Nii-san I originally met.

"From now on too, Mashiro and I will always be by Nii-san's side. Spending our time of what you call days as students, becoming adults, marrying Nii-san and building a happy family......fufu Just thinking about that alone makes me happy every day right~"

We are still young, precisely why our bodies tremble with great joy at the happiness of being able to spend more and more time together with our loved one.

Onii-sama and Chisome are asleep as they were...... huh? If so, I wonder what that was just now.

At something I didn't really understand, I tilted my head and tried to hug Onii-sama's body once more.

"......Ehehe"

Today's me is great.

If it were the usual, I'd be half asleep and, with momentum, end up diving into Chisome's shadow, and yet, today, I am still able to be properly next to Onii-sama.

"......??"

But, the strange sensation won't go away.

Lately, a sensation that I don't really understand has been rushing about inside of me.

That is, when I look at Onii-sama, I feel a warmth in my chest area, and then I'd unintentionally end up reaching out my hand to him.

Chisome said that's what you want as a woman, but to me, I don't quite understand what that means.

What you want as a woman......U~n?

There is the sensation I don't understand, but I understand the meaning of the words, what you want as a woman.

That is, in other words, that means to be in the state of becoming one together with Chisome as before and overlapped bodies with Onii-sama, I guess.

"......-~~"

I've never thought of that kind of thing even once up until now.

But, now that I've ended up knowing that happiness, I can't forget that sensation anymore.

"......not with the becoming one together with Chisome, will Onii-sama also do it with me I wonder"

No matter how far I go, Chisome and I are connected.

That's why, no matter what form it takes, it doesn't change the fact that Chisome and I are loved by Onii-sama.

Even so...... Will Onii-sama give love to me my self, I wonder?

"It's a strange sensation. Just like a human...... Ah, it's no good. this kind of thinking is no good, I have to be confident that I am human."

I am not a monster; that's what Onii-sama and Chisome have told me.

A human being with just a little bit of special power, I have to think so.

If I were to remember a lot of things I don't know from now on, it's fine.

I am Mashiro...... I am not a monster, I am Mashiro...... Onii-sama's little sister, half of Chisome.

"That's right, you are not a monster that's why."

"Ah......"

When I suddenly heard that voice, I was relieved from the bottom of my heart......and then, I floated my body and moved so that it was sandwiched between Onii-sama and Chisome.

Chisome laughed as if troubled, but I was happy.

[Tl note: FYI, in the Mashiro POV part, she called Taiga at the halfway point "Nii-san" and not "Onii-sama." I don't know if this was intentional or if the author simply made a typo and just left it there for whatever reason, but for the sake of consistency, I followed it through with "Onii-sama."]
