682 Youre willing to do... anything? (1/2)

Kanna and Izawa left after leaving behind the comment ”We won't be interrupting your enjoyment of your harem.”

Natsuya and the others also confirmed that he was alright. They soon left him alone so that he could properly rest.

Seiji lay back down on his best, closed his eyes, and rested.

Not long later, he suddenly felt someone softly holding his hand.

Seiji opened his eyes slightly to see that Shika was holding his hand. Tears were silently dripping down her face.

”Brother… is such a big idiot…” Crystal-clear teardrops slid down her cheeks.

Seiji felt a strong sense of guilt at seeing his adopted younger sister like this.

Although he already apologized to her when he woke up, it still wasn't enough to make up for how long she worried no matter how many times he apologized.

He was able to save some people as well as greatly strengthen himself. This was basically the perfect outcome. However, he harmed Shika in the process.

No… not only Shika, he also harmed Natsuya, Mika, Chiaki, and the others…

It was so terrible of him to have so many people worry about him for so long!

Seiji impulsively wanted to load back to the decision point regarding the Bloodwine.

He shouldn't have thought too much into things, he shouldn't have cared about the fate of those who died, he should have just obediently chosen the first option…

After those thoughts flashed through his mind, Seiji suddenly had an epiphany and forced down those thoughts.

This result was only obtained after so much hard work. He shouldn't reject it so easily. Since he harmed the girls who cared about them, he should make it up to them, rather than taking the easy way out by loading.

After coming to this realization, Seiji squeezed Shika's hand.

”Shika-chan…”

”Brother…”

”It's insufficient no matter how much I apologize for making you worry so much. That's why I won't say so many apologies.” Seiji took a deep look into her eyes. ”I shall do my very best to make things up to you… I'm willing to do anything so that you can forgive me.”

Shika blinked as she received his heartfelt intentions.

”You're willing to do… anything, you say?”

”Yes, anything.”

”Really?”

”Really.”

”Then, I want Brother to sleep together with me.”

Seiji was rendered speechless.

Why did she make such a request? This was just like cheating!

His expression flickered as he didn't know how to respond.

Shika kept looking directly at him. Tear streaks remained on her face.

Seeing how calm she looked, Seiji felt that he had misinterpreted the phrase ”sleep together.” He shouldn't have reacted so much to it.

He figured that Shika simply wanted some intimate contact in order to feel reassured. That was all there was to it.

”Yes.”

”Okay, then let's sleep together for a little… or perhaps after I'm out of the hospital…”

Seiji didn't even get to finish his sentence when Shika climbed into his hospital bed, lay by his side, and gently hugged him.

”Does this hurt, Brother?”

”No…”

A soft touch, wonderful fragrance, and such a pure and beautiful face right before his eyes… Seiji recalled that he had experienced this before. Was it on the day that he bought the kotatsu? He and Shika had fallen asleep together by the kotatsu's side.

It would seem that his adopted younger sister wanted to reenact what she felt at that time. That was probably why she made such a request.

He really shouldn't think too much into it. It was quite normal for brother and sister with a good relationship to sleep together!

…Seiji decided to pretend that the last part was true.
