114 114 ``Brother and Sister (1/2)

”Soooo ...... is ......

Taking a deep breath in front of the door.

I had done some image training before coming here, but I was so nervous that I was frozen in front of the door.

Knocking lightly on the door, I go in and apologize for what I did before.

I imagined the sequence of events over and over again, and held down my trembling limbs as I came in, prepared to be yelled at along the way.

All you have to do is to knock on this door - but you couldn't do it.

Now I'm in front of my parents' house where Lily used to live.

My purpose is of course to apologize to Lily's brother, Kurogane, and to confess.

I've been acting as a girl named Lily and acting as his sister for a long time.

According to Kyou, her brother already knew that he wasn't the real Lily, and he said he didn't hate me on top of that.

It's not that I don't believe him, but I was still afraid to meet my brother.

My brother was a very kind man.

I don't know when he realized that I wasn't his sister, but he was always kind to me, without making me feel that I wasn't. I don't know when he realized that I wasn't his sister.

It was all thanks to him that I was able to feel the concept of brother and sister so strongly and enjoy the warmth of the bond.

He was such a kind brother to me, and I had been cheating him until now.

Even though my brother had forgiven me, I could not forgive myself.

Above all, when you go behind this door, the moment you tell him the truth, you and your brother will be strangers without blood.

This fear made my fingers tremble and made me stand there helplessly.

When I was about to knock on the door, the door opened and my brother's face appeared through it.

Ah ......

Surprise and impatience make me choke up, and I can't help but crinkle my mouth.

My brother smiles gently at me and beckons me into the house.

Come in, lily.

The voice of the brother you know does not change, and if you feel uneasy about the calmness of his voice, you turn your head down and walk in quietly.

You sit down on the sofa in the middle of the room, and your brother sits on the sofa across from you.

After a few moments of awkward silence, I decide that I have to break the ice, so I look up, stare at my brother's face from the front, and lower my head.

I'm--I'm sorry!

I can feel my brother's mood of disappointment at my sudden apology.

But I still have to say this clearly.

I killed your sister ...... and then pretended to be your sister. I've been playing the role of your sister, pretending to be your sister and playing the role of Lily all this time. ...... I'm really sorry, please ......!

As he said it, I was crying again, as if regretting what I had done.

At the same time, you will remember the memories of the real Lily.

You're going to be able to find out if you'll be able to find the best way to make the most out of your time with us.

I am ashamed of the weight of my sin in replacing her.

No, I was really ashamed that I forgot about her and took away the place where she should have been.

My brother just quietly opens his mouth.

”I'm not here to talk about you, Lily. I'll call you Lily here, but I don't have anything against you.

I knew that. That this man would say that.

Still, this is my own personal history, and I definitely need to apologize.

I kept my face down and listened silently to my brother's words.

It is probably not the case that you killed Lily first, is it?　I've heard from my sister before. She told me she had a new friend deep in the woods. Later I realized it was you.

Was Lily talking to her brother about me?

As soon as I heard that, I looked up, and as my eyes met his, I saw that he smiled gently at me.

I was surprised when I first found you. My own sister was wandering around in the woods, covered in blood. She was also very hazy and unconscious. ......

”............

This may have been when he was wandering around the forest in the body injured by the adventurers, just before he transformed into Lily.

When my brother found me, he immediately took me home to treat me.

Afterwards, my condition returned to normal, but I had lost my memories of before and after I was found, and many other memories before that.

When my brother saw that I was involved in some kind of accident, he thought that my memory impairment was one of them, and told me a lot about my lost memories.

But that was because I was a fake in the form of Lily, and I didn't have the ability to take over her memories.

All I had in my memory was the part that Lily told me, and by adding it to the part my brother taught me, I formed my current memory.

After that, I ran away from this house to follow the path of the hero that Lily was supposed to become, and before I knew it, I became one of the great heroes.

You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for, and you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

...... When did you start to realize that?

”?　You mean that you're not the real Lily?

I nodded quietly.

The question was asked by my brother, who gave a slight thought and answered simply.

It's been about a month since you came to our house.

?

It was discovered much earlier than expected, and I was surprised to find out.

It was also a time when my body was recovering and I was trying to become a hero.

How did you find out?

I asked the question, to which my brother replied with a soft smile.

That's because we're brother and sister. It's natural for you to notice that your sister is in a different mood. But the most important difference is the topic.
