TRRRRRR TRRRRRR[1]

｢Hey, you How you doin’?｣

The voice on the other side of the line was exceptionally cheerful

｢I’ve finally got you, aren’t you a bit cold? I’ve been waiting for you to call for days｣

However, the words were filled with a bit of complaint

“Sorry, sorry I’ve been busy with things and settling in”

｢Well, it’s ‘kay Though I’ht while I’m waitin’ for you to call But now that you did, I feel like that fog has been lifted froive that cold shoulder｣

“I think you’re exaggerating a bit…”

｢So how’s it goin’? Bein’ neith your beautiful little sister｣

“No, we’re not really like needs She’s just living here Really, you always say stuff like that…”

｢Himme a brief heads up of what’s happened with your sister so far｣

“Mm, well It’s kinda like this…”

I said, and then infor that had happened

｢——I see Seems you’ve been a bit troubled｣

“Well, yeah, kinda Kyotsugu-san and Shouko-san, the Arisugawa Fa such a splendid lady, but—”

｢Splendid’s splendid, right?｣

“Kind of, she has been raised like a noble young lady, no doubt If it weren’t for her behaviour towards me”

｢I’ve heard all you said, but still, I think your sister’s got plenty of moderation, doesn’t she?｣

“And what about her sexual inclinations towards her brother?”

｢Well, can’t be helped Meanin’, can’t be helped that your little sister loves and loves you so, so ht? You’re the only man in her life”

“……Aren’t we blood-related?”

｢That’s none of my concern Anyways, there’s no mistakin’ that your little sister’d love to cross the line between siblings, huh?｣

“Yup I think that’s it after all”

｢You’re just blowin’ things out of proportion I think you’re just iinin’ stuff There must be some sorta other explanation for your little sister｣

Hm

I’ve never really thought about it much, but maybe my sister’s behavior does have some other reason behind it

｢Well, it’s probably this, the thing they call ‘bein’ aggravated’, maybe?｣

“Aggravated?”

｢When you’ve got a cold that’s 90 gone, but the cough in your throat still doesn’t go away for days, kinda like that Isn’t that the feelin’ you get about your little sister?｣

“Hm?”

｢Like, your parents were always away from home, so you were like a foster parent and educated your sister, right? Although you tere fraternal twins and at the sae｣

“M”

｢Everyone has more or less been a mother-or-father-con at some point… You could say that For the most part, the first person of the opposite sex one encounters would of course be their mother or father But for your little sister, she was raised differently… In other words, you, the older brother, were the one blood relative close to her when she was being raised That’s why you were the first person of the opposite sex she noticed, right?｣

“Muess”

｢Livin’ with so would norht to love this person in that way’ Your et that But in your little sister’s case, she unfortunately was about to understand right when you tere separated The necessary process has been interrupted, the necessary person wasn’t there, it’s kinda like that｣

“Well, even then How is this siravation of a cold?”

｢Well, usually the reason for a cold’s aggravation is that the necessary rest and nourishht?｣

I understood it

Certainly, that was possible The words of my friend had been sreement with them

However, it was that…

Going by that explanation, ravation’ had been my fault, that’s how it felt

Still, that was a little, how should I say it, it just wasn’t soree with

I mean, I had been desperate back then

Both of our parents had been the worst when it ca a family, but they weren’t people we could hate Just like how kids get engrossed in ith sparkling eyes, we hadn’t been able to tell our parents to just ignore their work

Thats why back in those days, I had been desperate in my oay

One way or the other, I had taken on the duty to raise her properly, that was the kind of thing I had been dealing with

｢Well, you don’t have to worry about it too much｣

My friend said

｢Like I said, your little sister’s got plenty of moderation ‘N so she won’t do anythin’ reckless｣

“…That so?”

｢That’s how it is, right? Though she’s finally been reunited with the men she really,really loves, she still hasn’t put a hand on you, she’s respectin’ your intentions, right? If that isn’t called moderation, than what is?｣

“Eh? Like that, it feels like I’m someone who should be pushed down?”

｢Of course If I were your sister, I would’ve humped you the second we met｣

“Wow”

｢Well, doesn’t look to h You should relax now that you can h, if she’s gotten so beautiful in those years that you als, then it’s a different story｣

“Haha, there’s no way that that could’ve happened”

I couldn’t really say that my friend hit a bullseye, could I?

——With this and that, the conversation with my friend that I hadn’t talked with in a while ended

That took a while…

I tiltedroom

My sister still hadn’t come out of the bath

Well, I do know that girls can take their sweet ti? I’ve been waiting for almost an hour already?

…I should go check on her

Just so that you know

Approaching a private space like a bathroo for me, and on top of that I had to take a peek inside, how could I’ve do so like that?

But there are tier, we both were in the bath together, right? That certainly had been true in the past, but as for my current little sister whom I hadn’t seen in six years, there was definitely no way I could do so like that

Hmph

Hoas I supposed to deal with it at that time? I want to hear what all the other older brothers in the world would’ve done

Well, whatever Even if there is a slight possibility that sos For now I guess I’ll call out from a distance——

STOMPSTOMPSTOMP

Footsteps approached as I was thinking about calling out to her

Quick-paced, irritated footsteps From the direction of the bathroom

“Onii-chan!”

SLAM

Opening the sliding door noisily,room

“Just what do you think you’re doing?!”

“Er, what do you mean…?”

I froze up

Well, of course I would

A girlbut a bath towel on her, appeared in front of my eyes I think anyone would’ve frozen up Whether the person in question was your little sister or not, that didn’t matter Probably

…But, whoa

What is this Why’s her skin so fair?

I ure really is a

Long legs Slender waist And yet her chest was full

I don’t think she’s wearing any underwear either… Shouldn’t there be a liirl can look like that?

Ah, I give up

Gimme a break

“Um”

I said while I was averting my eyes aardly:

“Can you put on some clothes first?”

“Please don’t change the subject!”

“Eeehhh?”

“I want to hear the reason!”

“Well, that’s… Sorry, reason for what?”

My sister’s eyes turned into triangles, looking very angry

I honestly don’t get why she’s mad like this

What did I do?

Fro must’ve happened in the bathroom that caused this turn of events I talked with a friend on the phone, then I sat here cross-legged drinking tea, that’s all, right? I don’t get why she’sat me for that
