Chapter 66: Happy Days That Last Forever

Chapter 66: Happy Days That Last Forever

Although it's summer vacation, there are also days when I want to go out alone once in a while.

Of course, I would be happier to have Chisome by my side than to do such a thing, but I went out because I got the idea that doing it today would bring me good luck.

And then I met that.

"I never thought I'd meet you, Taiga."

"..............."

I ran into Akane in the town who was made to undergo complete contamination by Misora and Yuika.

When she spotted me, she immediately approached me, so even I couldn't run away and ended up talking to her like this.

"It was really unfortunate what happened the other day. I wanted to go too...... I also wanted to burn Chisome and Mashiro in their swimsuits into my eyes!!"

"She was extremely cute, you know."

"Kuu......"

"She was super cute it's unbearable."

"Gununuu!!" *gritting her teeth*

Akane-san, you look very frustrated, but...... I guess she wanted to see them that much.

That said, after that outing, Misora and Yuika seemed to have said a lot of things in the group chat that were enviable to Akane in many ways, so I guess it's not particularly strange that this would happen too.

"Well, I'm sure there will be another chance, so it should be okay."

"Yes......that's right. Let's hope for the next opportunity."

Like that, finally, Akane was back to her usual self.

Still, I could see that there were occasional signs of not knowing when to let go, but there was no more of the frustrated look that I had seen earlier.

"What was Akane-senpai doing?"

"Un? Aah, I have a modeling job to do from here, you see. No~, I really feel at ease after being saved by you guys. I'm getting more and more compliments on my work, and it's fulfilling."

"I'm glad to hear that."

In the original work, the stalker case was overcome by Souma's presence as a trigger. It ended up turning out differently, but if Akane is doing well like this, then it's a good thing.

There seems to be no need to worry at all anymore anyway, and there doesn't seem to be any need to worry about anything regarding her mental state.

(Something or other, she was influenced by them both and became strange, but normally, this person is also relatively decent though)

With this, people change when they are in front of Chisome and Mashiro, so I could easily feel that the things those two are guilty of are wicked.

"Well then Taiga, I'll excuse myself with this."

"Yes. Please do your best."

"Aah"

Un, after all, she is cool when she is normal, though, Akane is.

After staring at her back, which was getting farther away, I suddenly felt like going home, even though I was going out alone like this.

That's probably because of the conversation we had about Chisome and Mashiro.

Shall I go to that sweets shop and buy a cake or something then.

I had been outside for about two hours anyway, and, well, if I were to say if the time is just right, then I would say it is just about right, I guess.

Well, I have my fair share of games and comics, but...... nothing beats interacting with Chisome and Mashiro.

Chisome's room is hers, so I'm going to clean the other areas.

Holding a vacuum cleaner in one hand, and humming a tune, unexpectedly puts me in an energetic mood and gets me into cleaning.

"Uhhh, the next is I'll do it over there too...... Shall I wipe it with a rag? Aah, crap. Cleaning is a thing that once you start, you won't be able to stop, isn't it."

Although it's only natural to hate being filthy, in my case, once I start cleaning, I'm the type who feels restless unless I finish up to a certain line.

Apparently Chisome is of that type, too, and when faced with a hard-to-remove stain, she even grits her teeth while cleaning it off anyway.

"Here goes, I'm gonna clean you all up!"

From then on, a couple of hours passed while taking a break and cleaning, and when it was about 3 o'clock, I more or less finished cleaning everything.

The rest is, well, just Chisome's room, but...... I guess I will at least clean the floor.

It's not like I've been told things like, "Don't just enter the room without permission," anyway, and I completely understand that there's no such thing between us in the first place.

"Excuse me."

Entering Chisome's room, I easily remove the dirt while vacuuming.

As one would expect from a girl's room, there is no clutter at all, and if anything, one wonders if it even needs to be cleaned, but well, doing this much should be good enough.

"?"

While cleaning like that, I found a diary on Chisome's desk.

Actually, when I entered Chisome's room like this before too, I found a diary, and at that time I ended up giving in to my curiosity and looking inside...... Chisome said it's fine, but after all, this kind of thing shouldn't be seen even if we are siblings and lovers, right.

"......Diary, huh"

By the way, when I looked into it before, it was spelled out as if it were all about her feelings for me.

I think a diary is a wonderful way to record not only daily events but also thoughts and feelings about someone precious, and I have also thought to myself about giving it a try.

"Memories...... that's right isn't it. It is memories."

I have made many precious memories not only with Chisome and Mashiro but also with other friends.

It must have been a very happy thing to record everything and feel nostalgic when you read it again in the future.

"......Then, as a big brother, I guess there is only one thing for me to do."

If Chisome writes a diary, I will only protect and support her from now on so that the contents of the diary will be filled completely with only memories that can be said to be the best for her.

Because that should be my role as a big brother and a lover.

"Because of Shinra-san too, Chisome looks really happy every day now. I'm also the same, but even Mashiro cant stop smiling anyway......Un, Un, that's a good thing."

There is no cruel future for Chisome, and that's precisely why she won't wield her power.

I miss the days when I used to worry about things like what I would do if she ended up killing someone with that power, but we can say with confidence that we were able to grasp our precious days enough to think that way.

"......I know I'm being hasty about this, but if we have a child, Shinra-san...... No, if I call her for a wedding, she'll come, right?"

While thinking such things to myself with a wry smile, I waited for Chisome's return.

[Afterword]

Next time it will be over!
