Brother's day

「Sure, what would that be?」

Because she sends me such a serious look, I answered in a serious way.

Miina bowed her head for a moment to catch up her breath. After that, she raised her head, looked at me straight, and smiled.

「Thank you for everything. I love you oniichan.」

Without any hint of embarra.s.sment, she said such line abruptly.

He was surprised due to that sudden attack, but since Yuki was already used to it, nothing came out on his face.

Similarly, he smiled and replied.

「I love Miina too.」

「Un. I know.」

However, she just replied so nonchalantly.

Miina who nodded her head, said so proudly.

「Miina knows everything about her brother.」

「About what?」

When I asked, Miina answered with ”Very well, since you ask me.”

「I know that even though Mothers's gone, and that we don't get to see father that much, I know that oniichan always does his best.」

Although it seemed that Miina's remarks were somewhat off, Yuki still perceived what Miina was about to say.

Father, since before, left Yuki's matters to his mother, as he was always thinking about work, but that was because he is really busy with his job.

I know my father's job at a trading company is a hard one. He also mentioned that after this business trip, he might go around Asia next time.

But because it's always like that, Miina is not used to be around father.

Miina once said that ”It's ok because the pay is good” and because of that, father contemplated whether to change his job or not.

However, those words were just an imitation of what her mother said, and she didn't really understand what those words meant.

And when the mother pa.s.sed away, they all became depressed.

Yuki was told by his mother to ”support your dad and be kind to Miina” when she was close to her time.

It was something like a will. Yuki then decided to keep that as something like an oath. Thus he tried as much as he could to be a good child. He helped his father with everything, including taking care of Miina.

Like that time, when the talk about the job destination came up and when his father asked them ”will the two of you be okay?” he thought that it might not be, but after all he could only answer ”everything is going to be all right.”

「And because of that, thank you oniichan.」

Miina who was sitting in a seiza, put her fingertips on the floor, and bowed down her head.

Thereafter she slowly raised her head.

「Thank you for trying to make an unfamiliar food for the sake of Miina.」

「Un. Although there's always a high possibility that you'd leave something out.」

It would be easy if it's just for myself, but if I have to consider Miina, it gets a little bit harder.

「I know that even though oniichan is lazy and sometimes clumsy, I know that you're trying your best to do the dishes and the laundry.」

「If you're saying it like that, then why don't you at least start was.h.i.+ng your own underwear.」

Young maiden's underwear, which is usually left hanging in the laundry room….

「Miina will also try her best regarding housework!」

「But don't burn down the house, okay?」

To be honest, I don't want her to touch something like the stove.

Even I was able to burn a carpet with an Iron.

「That's why…. Please continue to be Miina's older brother.」

「Well, this feels like some sort of farewell. Even though there's nothing important on this day.」

「Eh? What happened oniichan…. Are you crying….?」

「No, I'm not crying.」

Even though this should have been a touching scene, nothing like that would happen when one of the party only wears a s.h.i.+rt while her panties are showing.

Furthermore, there's no context to this conversation. Is this something that you would start talking about with someone who is about to enter the bath?

Miina, who seemed to finally reach the limit of her patience due to Yuki's att.i.tude, started to swing her fists.

「Mou~! Yuki-kun is always like that! Trying to feign no care about everything!」

「Well, I was just objectively saying facts.」

「Anyways! Yuki-kun will be reborn today!」

「What do you mean?」

「I mean because of Miina, Yuki-kun can make neither friends nor a girlfriend.」
