Vol 2 Chapter 9 (1/2)
29th of April, Monday
Rushi+ng Out Darkness Happy Monday
Yesterday, what happened afterwards after we arrived back in the rooreeted us with a nonchalant expression Seeing her behave as if nothing happened, I felt hten
I've ended up uilt and depression inside of reeted me as her usual friendly self
Since Mika fell asleep, around twelve o'clock everyone has decided to take her back to her room
It was slightly troubled that everyone couldn't return to their rooms until time like this
Even though Selene was fine as a night type of a person, Mika who's the youngest and Sayuri who leads an orderly life had it hard Sayuri did her best to fight sleepiness, from time to time she lost to it and swayed to the sides
Mika didn't fight it, she peacefully breathed in her sleep
While being careful as not to wake her up, I went down the elevator carrying Mika After laying Mika down in the bed we have dissolved in the hallway of the second floor
I tried to call To with me today!” she responded with her usual tone of voice
Ever since we ca ”Don'tme to approach it
After returning toalone
It seems like I was tired by the date I wasn't used to, after taking a shower I fell dramatically onto the bed, before I realized it was ten o'clock of the 29th
I ju the s
Today was a national holiday
”Eh? It's from Mariko”
A h the STRING's chat It cao The content was, today's a holiday so how about we go have fun somewhere? An invitation like that
In the afternoon or rather, in the evening I'o to Selene's rooo play with her
While I thought that, going to play around with a different girl for a second day in a rowto do as a person No, well, Toh
I've been in Mariko's care all this tie during shopping or through some other punishment
A o It's also possible that Mariko had already gone out with her other friends
No, even so it wasn't good to leave this e unanswered
First I decided to write I overslept and apologized
When I sent the e, there was an ione out yet
While shopping, I ht as well consult the yesterday's case with Mariko
I'll say it as a story heard from a friend
Did I make a mistake on the date with Tomomi no matter how much I think about it I can't tell, what I kneas that I definitely made Tomomi cry
The moment I tried to reply to Mariko ”Then, at eleven o'clock in front of the station”——
Athe what's written I opened my eyes wide My heartbeat sped up and I felt like I was suffocating
『”Help”』
There was just one word
That Selene, did she collapse?!
My little sister collapsed! I couldn't use this as a reason I responded to Mariko through string that I have a sudden appoint pain in the back of my chest
Mariko responded with ”Then I'll go with some friends”, possibly out of concern for me, in the first place I was probably the only friend she could invite anyway, I sincerely apologized to her and promised to make it up to her, then with pyjamas still on, smartphone, smart key and wallet I have rushed out of the room
After closing the doors just for a ht I screwed up
The ser able to return to my room
I didn't exae froain soes
After going down to the first floor by the elevator, without knocking I jumped into Selene's room
”Are you all right Selene?!”
In the di curtains, Selene was there, fallen on the floor Her eyes were closed and her long black hair spread on the floor, like a fairy tale's Sleeping Beauty she peacefully breathed in her sleep
She was gripping her smartphone in her hand
”Hey, Selene, get a hold of yourself!”
When I raised and shook her slender body, Selene slowly opened her closed eyes and murmured in a feeble voice
”Onii-chan”
”Yeah! It's me! Are you okay? Or should I call an ambulance?”
Selene shook her head sideways and spoke to me in a weak voice
”I'lad you made it in time”
”Made it in ti is way too ominous!”
It's as if saying she's glad to seeStuff of that calibre
Selene's body was cold I hugged her tightly
”warm”
”Don't die! I beg you!”
I tried to pass as much of my body temperature to Selene as possible
Can it be, was Selene affected by some incurable disease?
Is that why she didn't o to school and form relations with others?
After getting along with friends it's hard to bid the, s-screw that!
Even though she wanted to go to Nippori with me is that a dream that won't come true?
”Onii-chan My last request will you listen?”
”Don't say 'last'! I'll do whatever you want! As long as I'm able to, whatever!”
With a pale smile, Selene made a request
”I want to eat cream puffs”
”Haa?!!”
”creary”
That moment, I finally understood That there was an incredible otten embarrassed
When I let go of Selene I was hugging, I asked
”Hey Selene Can it be that you collapsed out of hunger?”
Selene shook her head vertically and stared atlike jewels even in the dim room
”yes That's why as to avoid extra calories consumption, I have spent time in standby power mode”
Relieved, I let out a large sigh
”You surprised'Help' is way too scary!”
”to me, this is a serious situation”
”So, if you eat soain”
This time she nodded twice
”I'll be even etic if I eat cream puffs”
”What happened to cup noodles?”
”recently, after eating outside with Onii-chan and eating Sayuri-chan's meals, my taste had beco cup noodles all alone”
Until recently, Selene was living on a diet saying ”I can live on just cup noodles”, so her develop I think she's one step closer to nor
”How about you go shopping before you collapse in your room?”
”exposed to sunlight I'll ? Can Onii-chan endure his little sister's ?”
”Don't talk as if you were made of cheese Uhh frory so please feed , but if you say that it'll be a great help to me”
”with Onii-chan pa me it seems like my independence will completely collapse”
”If you are aware you're being spoiled, be independent All right! How about we go to convenience store now?”
”together?”
”If it's together withso far, you should be able to walk outside during the daytime”
”going outside in theIf I did it I'd be almost like a human”
”Isn't that fine, you are a human after all”
”I am the descendant of the kin of the darkness My nickname 'Black Sun' isn't just for show
”Nonononono It'sthat nickname In the first place, Selene is a name of a moon Goddess, how did it turn into 'Black Sun'”
”Black Sun, in other words, the sun was eclipsed by the ht now, that's not the ”
With the rooes on Selene's face couldn't be seen well But her voice was shaking slightly Was she embarrassed?
”So, what do you mean? Tell me so it's easier to understand”
”I mean, I'm the moon and Onii-chan is Yoichi the sun When the two overlap, u”
I didn't really understand as she trying to say
The two of us overlapping,in front ofto be EXILE? That certainly ood only when there's a lot of people
With that, Selene fell silent I tried to change the subject
”Uhh so Selene, did you gave up on being Undying Cicada?”
”that's a teraved in my soul must absolutely remain secret”
”You went ahead and let me know of it, is that really fine?”
”it's okay for Onii-chan He's special”
Selene faced doards
Certainly, Selene and I even a the little sisters, our relationshi+p wasn't normal
