Vol 1 Chapter 10 (1/2)
17th of April, Wednesday
Redees
Mariko's s the lunch break It wouldn't turn on as if there was no battery inside, but after I reain, it started working
It was fixed with such a simple method, I wonder if huht
After school I went back to the mansion and to the Room 501——I visited Sayuri's room for the second time
I passed through the living room, prompted by the silent Sayuri It felt aard for both of us
”H-hey Sayuri, it's been three days”
『”want to die! I want to die!”』
As expected, it's hard She silently sat on the cushi+on andat me
”I thought we ain”
While ere playing the gae To up a strong front, or maybe it was desperation
”No such thing Rather than that, there are things I want you to honestly answer Can you tell me the real reason you want to be my little sister?”
”The real reason is it?”
”Yeah And please, be honest this time Even if your ai for the heritage would be normal, that um, Sayuri-san?”
As not to butt in as I spoke, Sayuri gently shook her head
”Just like I said the other day, I'h to become a scholarshi+p student Even if the assistance is aborted, I won't have any proble money properly”
”Then why do you want to be the little sister? Are you lonely?”
Sayuri gave a small nod
”Of course, there's that as well It's been only e even to me Once I learned that I have such lively sisters, I stopped feeling lonely”
”Certainly, the weekend was lively and enjoyable”
”I tend to get into fights with Too out of control but”
Once again, Sayuri's words faded out and she looked pitiful
”I-I guess”
She slowly raised her head and opened her mouth
”I have a proposal for you, Onii-sama”
Her face reddened slightly
”U-umm that's I um”
Sayuri was squirht in seiza, she played with her hands
”Earlier, Tomomi-san has said it but”
”To about?”
She nodded, stood up and moved closer to me Her face was so close to mine I could feel her breath, and she stared into my eyes
”A-aren't you too close?”
”If you'll forgive me, I wish to maintain this distance, think of it as a desperate effort of mine”
”Is this the sense of distance you wish to maintain as my little sister?”
”No I have given up on beco the little sister”
”You gave up is that really okay?”
As if a burden fell off her shoulders, Sayuri nodded seely refreshed
”Yes I have worked hard to become a perfect little sister out of the ave me As Onii-sama already knows, I if I were to be compared to a vehicle, I would be a train”
”After being set on fixed rails, leaving and arriving at pre-deter like this?”
The trains ide do not always go by the schedule and are often disturbed So if anything, Sayuri is too serious when navigating so that she's always on time, a japanese train
After seeing that she ed to properly convey it to me, Sayuri nodded happily
”Indeed If I'm derailed, I will cause a major incident Last weekend, I learned that about ree”
”Y-yeah You need to be careful”
”It's just as Onii-sama says I can't deny it at all That's why I think that rather than beco a little sister from the manual, I'd like to become myself”
”Not a little sister then what?”
Her ears turned bright red as she hung her head and she spoke in an unnatural voice
”A-a l-ll-lover!”
Sayuri said so while stuttering, she blushed even further and writhed even more
”Nononono”
”Do not say that, I think being a lover is a good idea”
”Please stop thinking then!”
Suddenly, Sayuri spread her arms
”From noards I will doyou?”
”It's fine if you don't do your best More importantly, how did you reach such a conclusion?”
”The things I aible for the lover position than that of a little sister And if Onii-sama wishes for it, I shall become both a little sister and a lover”
”That goes against ethics, law and common sense at the same time”
”We can't s then?”
”Of course not!”
”I'm serious”
There was not even a shred of hesitation in Sayuri's eyes
”Please stop that 'Make irlfriend' blackmail”
”It's not blackh I've shown you raceful behaviour, Onii-sa me directly like this”
Since I was keeping silent about the fact I knew about existence of manual, it was also irl even if she was a bit clumsy However, a lover is
”Sayuri I'm not that familiar hat lovers are, but it's people who love each other right?”
”I have already prepared my heart”
”Don't prepare it so quickly!”
”Does Onii-sama hate me then?”
Seeing a lonely and discouraged look in her eyes, sharp pain ran through ly wanted to depend on me
Sayuri was uneasy She was trying to hold herself together, she wanted to be spoiled byherself too far
”That question is unfair! I d-don't hate you It's just that even if I were to say that I like you, it would be a feeling one feels towards his family, different from romantic love”
”But if there are little sisters who feel like a 'friend', can't there be little sisters who are lovers?”
”No, there can't be any Also, why a lover of all things?”
She lowered her ar me, and muttered sorrowfully
”I don't have a personality that would stand out I can only dye s like that manual”
”I-I see no, is that how it is?”
I felt she was unique enough, but the person in question continued frustrated
”Since I didn't have what it takes to become a little sister before, but now that I looked at it calmly, it seems Onii-sama has some preferences that are different from as stated in the manual”
In fact, it was going very well until some point Were it not for Selene who spoiled the ht have been done for but let's keep this secret
”That is why rather being dyed by the manual, I wish for Onii-sama to dye me with his colours”
”My colours?”
”I don't knoell I can do it but I want to become what Onii-sama wishes for”
”In other words, a lover?”
”If not a lover, then please make me your love slave”
Sayuri said soht face
”If it threatens Onii-sama's social position, I don't mind if I'm held in captivity or erased from the public view and society I don't mind if I'm an unofficial lover”
”S-STOP! You've started to go in a strange direction No, it was strange fro a lover?!”
”Can it be it's because you have that childhood friend person, Mariko-san? I don't mind if I'm the second lover I'm not attached to hierarchy Whenever Onii-sama likes it, I'll be happy to be yours any time It's fine by me to be a mistress”
I started to feel a little bit sick She continued to spit words at a very high speed
