She Was Actually My Stepsister. ~Recently, The Sense Of Distance Between Me And My New Stepbrother Is Incredibly Close~ - Chapter 7 Part 4

Chapter 7: “Apparently, My Stepsister Came Home Wearing a Uniform”

Translator: AJ1703

　That night.

　I was alone in my room, running a pen over my notebook, trying to deal with the summer vacation assignments I had accumulated over the weeks.

　Summer vacation ends on August 24. Today is the 20th, so summer vacation will be over in a few days.

　When I think about it, the summer vacation went by very quickly.

　Akira and her mother moved into our house, I spent time with Akira idly, and when I found out that Akira was my sister…──I tried not to think about it while I was studying. I’m sure most of my attention will be drawn there.

　Then, with a knock, Akira entered the room.

“Aniki, are you studying?”

“Yes, I am. What’s up?”

“I brought snacks and juice.”

“I see. Thanks. Please leave them there.”

　Akira put the tray on the table, pulled out a manga from the bookshelf, and began to chew on the snacks.

“Um, Akira-san?”

“Sssssip… ─What is it?”

“Why are you eating and drinking it?”

“That’s why I brought it here.”

“You didn’t bring it for me?”

　I was very much stunned and disappointed. I thought it was for me, who was studying hard, but it was actually for herself.

“Oh, yeah, this is Aniki’s.”

“Then don’t eat and drink them!”

“Ahahaha~, I’m just kidding!”

“This annoying brat…”

　I stopped and reached for a pastry too.

　It had been quite some time since I had dinner so I was just about getting hungry now.

“By the way, Akira, have you finished your summer vacation homework yet?”

“I’ve already finished it.”

“Tsk… you shrewd person.”

“It’s Aniki’s fault for not being diligent.”

　We looked at each other and laughed.

　I’m always conscious when I’m close to someone, so this is a good distance for me.

“I’ve tried wearing a bra, what do you think?”

　When Akira said this, she put her right hand on her head and her left hand on her waist and posed to show off, “Ufuu~.”

“Even if you ask me that…”

“Oh, you can’t see it like this─”

　She suddenly pulled the collar of her T-shirt and tried to show me what was inside.

“Hey─ Wait a minute!”

“Ahahaha~, I’m just kidding.”

　I was so nervous because she might have been serious.

　And I really don’t want to be taken by surprise like that… I did see a little bit.

“Or rather, aren’t you embarrassed doing that?”

“Well… I’m embarrassed, but not really, maybe because it’s Aniki?”

　So you’ve adapted well?

　She has become my little sister and seems to be fine with showing her skin and talking about feminine topics. I’m still adjusting to it…

“Some of my friends say they hang around in their underwear at home. They said it’s fine if it’s family.”

“That’s a story about other people’s families. It’s forbidden in this house.”

“Eh─”

“Don’t ‘eh’ me! What’s forbidden is forbidden.”

　You don’t even know what the other person is really like.

　If Akira starts wandering around in her underwear, I’ll have to seriously scold her.

“Well then, break’s over. I’m going back to studying─”

“Gotchu~. I’m going to read manga here.”

“Why don’t you read in your room?”

“No way. Someone has to keep an eye on Aniki or else he’ll skip out on school work.”

“What do you think of your own brother? I won’t do that.”

“Well, well, you don’t have to worry about me.”

　After saying that, Akira lay down on my bed and started reading manga.

　I left her alone, thinking that she would return to her room soon, but after an hour, I heard her breathing softly from behind me.

“Hey, Akira?”

“Tsuu~… Tsuu~…”

　Really, you don’t even know how other people are…

　I gently covered Akira with a blanket and dimmed the lights.

　The first time I went back to the assignment, relying on the light from the desk lamp, I heard a small voice from behind me.

“─Dad, thank you…”

　I pretended not to hear it.

　I guessed that her father’s presence was so important to Akira that she dreamed about him.

　The next thing I knew, it was morning and I was lying on my desk.

　When I woke up, Akira was no longer there, and the blanket I had put on her back was over my back.

Translator’s Afterword:

I’m not sure if it’s a reader from this series, but I’d like to thank the person who donated $10 to me, it gives me fuel to keep working hard on these chapters. I have already finished translating the ones that are to be posted until Friday so rest assured the daily updates are still going to continue for a bit more longer.

If you still haven’t checked it out, please check the other new series I am translating “The Innocent School Idol is My Cousin Who Lives with Me and is a Spoiled Brat”. It’s also getting updated daily and I made a dare to this that if I get $25 donation, I’ll rush to finish the series (which most likely would happen during the weekends since I have school on Thursday and Friday). So far I got $10, who knows if I get another $15 I might actually just do it and even throw a few additional jitsuimo chapters on it as well.

I uploaded this a bit earlier than usual because of how late I was for the previous chapter part, so this is somewhat of a compensation I guess?

Well anyways, thank you for reading the chapter (yes this is last part for c7)!
