Chapter 1-4
Kana-neechan came back to my room after everyone left.
I still had homework that I wanted to do, but I can’t do it now since she’s in my room.
“ーーAnd? Care to tell me about this adult magazine? Please tell me with everything you know, Otouto-kun.”
Kana-neechan asked me with a straight face.
I already know that she hates obscene things more than anyone else.
“Even if you say that…. The things I keep under my bed are mostly music magazines…. I don’t usually keep those things with me, so when you ask why I have that, I have no clue.”
I told her the truth.
I really don’t know anything about it.
It even made me really surprised when Nao-san found those things under the bed.
It might have been big bro’s doing, but a joke has its limits.
Yet, Kana-neechan doesn’t seem to believe me at all.
“I see~, so you’re still insisting on keeping it a secret. Then I guess it can’t be helped.”
She took me to my bed by grabbing my arm and pushing me down.
Kana-neechan is now on top of me, pinning me in place.
“Kana-neechan!? What are youー…”
“I told Otouto-kun the other day, right? It’s out of the question for you to have something like this.”
“Like I said, I don’t know anything! And it was Kana-neechan who arbitrarily told me to not go out with anyoneーー”
“Yeah, I did say that because it’s more convenient for me.”
“What are you saying?”
I asked with a pondering look.
Then Kana-neechan replied,
“This is what I meant.”
And pressed her lips against mine.
(ED: …this TRULY is a fictional novel)(TN: Pain.)
I was so surprised that I could only blink my eyes.
“Kana-…neechan…. This is…?”
“Hmm? I mean it as it is. Maybe you still can’t tell with just this?”
Kana-neechan smiled.
I really don’t understand even if she smiles at me like that….
“I can’t understand a thing. It only surprises me when you suddenly do this.”
“I see, it only surprises you, huh…. Guess it would only be confusing doing it out of the blue.”
Kana-neechan laughed bitterly and got up from the bed.
I wonder what she was trying to tell me, though she seems to be somewhat convinced of something all by herself.
Whatever it was, I was now freed from her.
I get up from the bed and look at Kana-neechan, who has her back to me.
“Kana-neechan?”
“But this is how I feel and I’m sure it will never change. Otouto-kun, I want to form a band with you.”
“Form a band with me? If you’re looking for a member, I don’t think it has to be me. Why do you insist on me?”
”It has to be Otouto-kun… I need you, Otouto-kun.”
“For the record, I can’t be a replacement for big bro. I don’t have the skills or guts like him…. I’m sure everyone will regret it.”
“That’s still fine. Otouto-kun is not Ryuuichi-san, so you don’t have to work that hard. Just do what only you can do, Otouto-kun.”
“What only I can do….”
I can’t think of anything at all….
What exactly is there in me?
“The rest is up to you, Otouto-kun. Let’s give our best shot.”
It somehow makes me want to try my best when Kana-neechan says so.
Aside from my part-time job, I didn’t have anything to work hard on, but for now, I’m going to do my best in the band that Kana-neechan has formed.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”
“Really?”
“I’ll start with what I can do for now, if that’s okay with you.”
I smiled at her.
Immediately, Kana-neechan took my hand in hers.
“Of course that’s fine! I knew you would say that!”
“I see. I’m glad you believed in me. Then, I must live up to your expectations even more.”
I don’t know how far I can go, but I’ll keep doing my best.
“Yeah! Let’s do our best!”
“Indeed.”
I answered with a smile.
“ーーAlright then, I guess I’ll go home now.”
“I’ll walk you home…though, it’s just around the corner, so you might not even need it….”
“No, that’s not true. I’ll still take your offer.”
Kana-neechan said so without reservation.
Maybe that’s the way it should be since we’ve known each other since childhood.
“I’m going to change my clothes, so could you please wait outside for a bit?”
“Okay.”
I’ve been wearing my school uniform for quite some time now.
Normally, I would have changed into my casual clothes already.
They are all in my closet, so getting them out is easy.
As soon as Kana-neechan left my room, I quickly changed.
“Should be good now….”
I finished changing and left the room immediately.
“Sorry for the wait. Shall we go then?”
“Wait a minute. I have to greet Otouto-kun’s mother first.”
Kana-neechan then went to the living room and bowed deeply.
“Thank you very much for the dinner.”
“No, don’t be. We’re also indebted to Kana-chan’s mother too.”
My mother replied with a smile.
Kana-neechan’s mother loves to travel and often gives us souvenirs.
If I recall correctly, she’s a famous writer.
She writes novels while doing housework and I heard that she is often seen going out whenever she has the chance.
“I see. I’ll let my mother know. I still have some business with Otouto-kun, so I’ll borrow him for a while.”
“Go ahead. Kaede has always been small-natured and unreliable, but he can be useful in times of need, so don’t mind working him too hard.”
“Hey, mom, what are you saying?”
“I’m joking, I’m joking…. More importantly, are you going to take Kana-chan home?”
“Yeah, that’s why I’ll be out for a while.”
“Right. Be careful.”
Kana-neechan and I left the living room and went towards the front door.
For now, let’s escort her to her house.
I walked next to Kana-neechan with that thought in mind.
“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?”
Kana-neechan opened her mouth.
“What is?”
“It’s been a long time since we went out together like this, right?”
“Eh? …Is that so?”
Her house is just around the corner, so I can’t really say we’re currently going out together….
“Yup, it’s been a while since I walked together with Otouto-kun, you know?”
“That’s true, I probably haven’t walked with Kana-neechan that often since entering high school….”
“The area around here is divided between the boys’ and girls’ schools, so we tend to lose touch with each other, I guess.”
“I also have a part-time job to boot.”
I happened to not have a part-time shift today, so we were all able to practice together.
Though, I don’t think we’ll be able to practice that much on days when I have one.
I think it’s the same for the others as well.
“But you’re in my band now so you’ll have more contact with me from now on.”
ーーContact, huh?
Now that she mentioned it, I’ve never been in touch with Kana-neechan recently.
Kana-neechan is a woman of high honor, good conduct, beautiful, and smart, so it would be wrong for me, an ordinary person, to have any kind of contact with her.
But since she is my older childhood friend, she is basically like a big sister to me.
“I guess I do feel a little safer around Kana-neechanーー”
“Right? Even if I’m like this, I’m still Otouto-kun’s big sister, you know? You should rely on me a little.”
I may want to refrain from doing that for the time being.
But I won’t say that outright since it would upset her.
“S-Sure, I will depend on you when the time comes.”
I said with a wry smile.
Kana-neechan’s house was not too far away on foot.
We stopped when we finally reached the front gate of her house.
It was already dark and the streetlights were shining.
Yet, I couldn’t let my guard down since I had heard that there were suspicious people walking around at this time of night.
“ーーAlright then, Kana-neechan, I’ll excuse myself now.”
“Yeah, thank you for walking me this far.”
“No, you don’t have to.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow then.”
Kana-neechan quickly kissed me on the cheek as she said so, and went inside her house.
Eh……?
I was taken by surprise and remained stunned for a while.
ーーGuess I should go home too. There’s homework waiting for me.
I turned on my heel and walked back to my house.
Then, my phone suddenly started ringing.
It wasn’t a phone call, so it must have been a text message or something.
I quickly pulled out my phone from jeans’ pocket and checked it.
The sender’s name was “Nishida Kana”.
I immediately read the content and found the following,
ーーThank you for today. See you tomorrow.
That’s what it said.
I can tell that she’s very happy by looking at this message.
Nevertheless, I have a part-time job tomorrow, so I might be a little late.
Thus, I immediately wrote a message back to her.
ーーI have a shift tomorrow, so I’ll be a bit late.
And sent.
She could have told me in person, rather than a text.
Though, she must have been embarrassed due to the previous kiss.
Within a short time, I got a reply.
ーーOkay~ I also have a part-time job tomorrow, so our practice time might come late. Oh andーー
Looks like this wasn’t the only thing she wanted to talk about.
And the next message arrived soon after.
ーーAre you free this Sunday?
Her question made me ponder.
This Sunday?
I’m actually free, though….
ーーI don’t have any particular plans. What’s wrong?
I sent her a reply.
Then, the message from Kana-neechan was,
ーーDo you want to go shopping with me this Sunday?
She asked.
Shopping, huh? Come to think of it, I haven’t done that lately.
It might be a good time to go, so I’ll give her my consent.
ーーThat’s fine. Where do you want to meet?
ーーThe meeting place can be at Otouto-kun’s house since that would be better for both of us.
ーーAlright. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.
ーーSince this is a rare chance, Big Sis Kana will keep you company all the time.
Kana-neechan’s going to accompany me shopping rather than me accompanying her?
I have a bad feeling about this.
I wonder what the people around me will think when they see her walking with me.
No, I don’t want to think about it.
But since this was already decided, I should decide where I want to go too.
I put my phone back in my jeans pocket and walked towards my home.
