the end chapter 6

(EKHmmm.. sweet bet):v.

"Well?!"

For a moment, my head felt empty. What the fuck does that mean?

 “What do you think?”

“... A-What do you mean?”

“Persis as I said. I asked if you would buy my body. Basically, in exchange for money.”

“……”

“Because of the previous incident, I understand very well that my body is good enough to make you aroused, and..well. You can use it as you like. ”

“Oi oi oi oi oi.

“If thought rationally, this answer is what I get.”

You're saying this is rational?

“Listen to me first.” Her request.

“Ah, okay..”

My common sense and rationality were almost thrown away, but I could still manage to hold it back.

“We're SMA kids, ‘kan?” Ayase-san continued.

“...Yes.”

“That's why, you know. There are awkward deeds that you can not do yourself, yes ‘kan?”

An awkward act that can't be done alone? Is he talking about the deed that .. You know, requires both male and female genitalia? Well, I guess so. No, I can't deny it. I'm not a saint or anything like that, I'm a healthy high school kid, so it's useless to hide it, but I still didn't expect to talk about it with a girl my age.

“Now we stay under one roof, there is a chance we will catch wet with each other while doing that.”

“I don't want to think about it, but there is indeed a possibility of it.”

“That's where I think. If the anxious bother will be caught off guard, instead it is more advantageous for us to take care of each other's needs with the stipulated time lag, with permission from both parties?”

“How did you get to that thought.”.

“When you praise my cooking very highly, Asamura-kun.”.

Hearing this sudden change in topic, I was confused. Why is he suddenly talking about dinner?

“...I've thought about it carefully. If I ask for money in return for my cooking, I can earn money with a little work.”

“It.....it makes sense.”.

I thought about it too. I think the two of us came to a rather unfavorable way to resolve this matter.

“Although not paid much, it can reduce my days to a minimum.”

“That sounds like a good idea.”

However, Ayase-san shook her head.

“I don't want to make money through it. I'll get too much out of it and it's not very commensurate with the principle of reciprocity. But, I want money. That's why I found something valuable that I can give, and get the money back.”

“So basically, while looking for a high-paying job, you decided to work a night with one of your family members?”

He's nodding. His line of thought came to a dangerous conclusion.

“If we really do, I'm sure there's a bit of awkwardness afterwards, but instead of doing it with people I don't know, I'm sure, I judged that it was much more convenient to do it with someone as good as you, Asamura-kun. ”

So he even thought of doing it with a stranger.

“If do it like this, I won't feel guilty after asking for too much money.”

I heard something popping into my head. I lifted my upper body, stretched out my hand. As a result, his shoulders trembled in shock. Just looking at her reaction alone, a strong sense of guilt filled my chest, as my mouth opened slowly.

“Types of women like that I hate the most, Ayase-san.”

“Eh..”

I hate what is called slander and bad speech. Whatever the reason, I don't want to hurt anyone through my words, and it hurts my heart when I think I'm saying this. But I have to do it now. I have to stop Ayase-san's rampage right now.

The faces of my father and Akiko-san flashed inside my head. After everything my father went through, being betrayed by his ex-wife, and being distressed by it, can I really turn my back on it? No. gabe. I felt relieved when I saw her happy face, and I wanted to support her now.

As for Akiko-san, I don't know exactly what she's going through, but there may be a problem with her ex-husband, which is why they got divorced. However, right now, it seemed like he was living a happy life. If I follow Ayase-san's idea, her request, and what will happen after that, it will bring calamity to both of our parents. I can't accept that.

We promised not to expect anything from each other. We confirmed it the first time we met, and somewhat kept our distance from then on. On the one hand, I wish Ayase-san had not done something like this, which caused this situation in the first place, meaning that I broke my promise. However, speaking of who was the first to break the promise, the one who broke first was Ayase-san.

“Using your appearance as weaponry, isn't that what you once said?”

I don't know why Ayase-san really wants to not be underestimated as a girl, so focused on independence, but what she's doing right now is quite the opposite of that. She who is now is the type of girl who will be underestimated. I do not doubt his thinking that this might lead to reciprocal affairs. But…

That reminds me, paid dating and night work are like short acts, and you assume people do it just to make quick money, but there are even smart girls who end up doing it, she said, or so I heard. It is not strange that there is a girl who thinks exactly the same as what Ayase-san is thinking right now.

However, this is too simple. And that goes against his own belief. Those who keep their contradictions and annoy others with them. If he was just an outsider, I could have ignored him. But as a family, as her brother, I can't just leave her. I put a towel on her shoulder, making sure she doesn't get cold.

“Not that. If you don't find a method to prove yourself superior, ignoring the issue of gender, then there's no meaning in doing this, no.”

“T-But, this will be a decent choice even if I'm a guy. That's why, weaponry and its history are not important.”

So he'd still do the same thing if he was my little brother? For a moment, I imagined Ayase-san with a male body, but it invited a lot of trouble on its own, so I immediately threw that imagination out of my head.

“I don't want to hear any excuses from you.”

“Ma-Sorry.”

Maybe because I warned her in a cold tone, but Ayase-san showed a moody reaction. From there, I saw anxiety, and regret. Although I had already realized that he was the exact opposite of the rumors, he almost acted according to the rumors. Now I understand that he is ready to do everything to make his wish come true.

I'm so glad he tried it with me first. If he tries it with someone else ….

“As long as you understand, everything is fine. Anyway, I don't mind, well, paying for your cooking. But there is only one problem.”

“Problem...?” Ayase-san gently tilted her head.

“If we maintain monetary exchange within our family, then our family's economic income will not go up.”

“...I mean?”

“Both of our parents are equally busy, so they can't go shopping constantly. Except expensive furniture and electronic equipment, we need to save money on small things, on a monthly scale.”

“True..”

“Dan, I myself work while. I can definitely pay you for the food. But, think about it. If I have to stop working because of illness, or other problems, and I don't get my monthly salary anymore, then you can't get any money either. But, did you really stop cooking from that day onward? ” I continue. “As long as your source of income comes from within the family, it is uncertain if you can really receive a reasonable price for your hard work.”

“It's true ... I never thought of it.”

“Of course, getting paid from your own family may have its benefits. You will not be fooled in the process. When you get money from the outside, you constantly have to be careful not to get paid less for what you deserve. But, even though the salary is not very good, I still think it is better to get objective value from outsiders, and to ask for payment in that context.”

Ayase-san remained silent, probably thinking about my words.

“That's all the advice I can give. Of course, I'll help you find a job, but nothing more than this.”

“OK ...I'm sorry.”

“It's okay.” I accept Ayase-san's apology.

There was no reason to scold him any further now that he had already realized his mistake in his own way.

“But, there is something we need to talk about.”

“Eh?”

“To be honest, I don't think you are the type of person who does this, Ayase-san.”

“It... same for me too.”

“I think this whole incident happened because I never really understood you, Ayase-san. That's why I want to know more about you. ”

“...Good. I don't like to talk about the past, but I've been troubling you like this.. ”Ayase-san closed her eyes and thought about it.

Sighing, he spoke of his past memories. This happened when he was a kid.

Ayase-san's father seems to be a great businessman. However, because He was betrayed by his friends, He lost the company, suffered from the inferiority complex, and began to keep his distance from his wife and daughter.

“inferiority complex?”

“In retrospect, my father might be jealous. Mom always said, as a High School graduate, she could only rely on the nightlife business, but hearing the opinion of her colleagues, she was quite popular.”

“Akiko-san seems like a great speaker. She's always cheerful.”

“Yes.. I think my father was a good man. But, after losing the company, it became changed.”

Sometimes his father stayed away from his family, or spent time with a woman somewhere else. He basically stopped having any affection towards Ayase-san and Akiko-san. He stops giving money to his family, forcing Akiko-san to pay for all the money Ayase-san needs, which leads to his grudge against his father. There is also the fact that, since his wife worked in the night business, he always suspected his wife of having another man, even mocking him for it.

“Although so, it does not mean it is the reason He made Mother suffer many things.”

That explains why she hates the look that disdains her as a woman ...

“I understand how you feel.”

Ayase-san. “Asamura-kun?”

“Ah, well, I just thought that we were very similar once.”

“That's the same as your family too, Asamura-kun?”

“Yes, for a short time, my father suffered from ginophobia for a while. I was surprised to see her get married again. Maybe it was thanks to Akiko-san. ” (TN : ginophobia is an excessive fear of women)

“Ginophobia? Really?”

“Ya.”

“So yes..”

So, are you the same? - I heard her faint mutterings, but I decided to ignore them.

“Ahh, which is why He keeps a strange distance with Mom..” murmured.

Apparently she realized that I was keeping my distance from Akiko-san.

“We are both really very similar.”

“True.”

“Even the bad parts are almost exactly the same.”

I showed a wry smile, unable to deny his words.

“Yes, we still have to go through this, including everything. As a brother.”

“.... As brothers?”

“Ya.”

Ayase-san chuckled, and took off the towel that was on her shoulder.

“Please take good care of me from now on, Asamura-kun.”

“Sama also. Ah, I don't mind if you start calling me 'Nii-san' ..”

“That will never happen.”

“Ehhh..”

Too bad. But, there's no need to rush. We will be brothers for a long time now.

“I don't plan to go any further than this, Asamura-kun.” Ayase-san placed the towel on the bed, and approached me with a smile. “Takkan. Ever.”

He threw these two words at me, out of his reddened lips, which he pressed against my face. I understand that, my goodness. After all, my days together with this beautiful yet strangely dangerous half-sister were just beginning.
