She Was Actually My Stepsister. ~Recently, The Sense Of Distance Between Me And My New Stepbrother Is Incredibly Close~ - Chapter 4.5

Translator: AJ1703

August 2 (Monday)

　Today Mom asked me to go shopping with Aniki.

　To be honest, it was a bit of a hassle.

　I wondered if Aniki might have a thing for my mom.

　Even if he doesn’t, Aniki often looks at my mom’s body…

　Men are really… It pisses me off that I feel like I’m losing to my mom!

　Oh, that reminds me, Aniki mentioned something about fashion,

　After being told by him, I thought I should be a little more careful.

　…Does Aniki prefer girly clothes?

　I have some clothes that my mom got me before, but Aniki would be surprised if I wore them, right?

　No, when he hugged me at the door, he made fun of me for being girly,

　Maybe Aniki only thinks of me as his little brother.

　I knew I shouldn’t wear that dress!

　Or rather, he said that I’m fat, how rude of him!

　He also suddenly put his arms around my shoulder which was a bit sneaky of him and my heart skipped a beat because of it!

　But still, I saw Aniki’s kind side again today!

　When I lost the game of rock-paper-scissors in carrying the groceries, he said we’d take turns anyway,

　Afterwards, he waited for me and walked me home without saying a word. It made me feel like he’s dependable, which is a bit weird.

　I almost touched on the subject of my Mom’s divorce.

　But Aniki didn’t say, “I’m with you~.” He didn’t even pry any further.

　It’s really comforting to be with him. He’s always looking out for me.

　I want to know more about Aniki. I want to become closer with him.

　Is it because we are siblings?

　Or is it because of something else?

Translator’s Comments: It took like a month before the guy I asked for help with in retyping the sentences in JP to be done lol. Anyways, I have finals coming up in like two weeks after this gets posted. If I pass that and have no failing subjects, I might go on a translating spree during my summer break so I need prayers that I’ll pass the finals so that I don’t have to go to summer classes or else I’m doomed and this series will be far more delayed💀
