Tannin Wo Yosetsukenai Buaisouna Joshi Ni Sekkyou Shitara,

Chapter 2 volume 2

When I got home, my sister was in the living room, which was unusual.

"Welcome back."

Sayaka took out a cup of barley tea from the refrigerator while wearing headphones around her neck. He must have come down because he was thirsty.

To be honest, I'm not in the mood to talk to Sayaka. The feeling of despair that I had done something lingered in my mind. It's past five o'clock.

"Ha~a......"

After that happened, I wandered aimlessly around the city. Not because I have a goal in mind. I knew that if I came home soon, my mistake that day would come back to haunt me.

I got a cup of barley tea from Sayaka and took a sip.

"Thank you."

As I was leaving, Sayaka called me.

"Hey, annoying sister, are you okay? Why are you so bad?"

I stopped and looked back.

"There's nothing like it. I'm fine as always."

But Sayaka looks at me suspiciously with "What?" look at her face.

"If that's a normal thing, you'll start lecturing me as soon as we meet, telling me not to play games all the time, to study, to straighten my shoes at the door, etc."

"Ah. You have to study hard. And trim your shoes"

"It sounds like an afterthought."

Actually, I can't help it because it's an afterthought. Come to think of it, I wonder if this habit of preaching is wrong. Every time I see Sayaka, I can't help but complain about her carelessness, and I wonder if that's why I ended up lecturing Enami-san as well.

"And clean your room, okay? I'm sure you'll eat some more candy. Make sure you take out the trash yourself."

"...... Normally, you would start cleaning my room without question."

"...... Why don't you do it yourself for a change?"

"It's a serious injury." (TN: I think he's referring to something with military terms as usual)

Saika tilts the cup and drinks the barley tea. But the moment he did, it spilled and splashed onto his clothes. The chest area of the hoodie he was wearing was wet.

"Ah, already..what are you doing?"

He'll always be a kid, won't he? I had no choice but to turn around and hand over the handkerchief I had in my pocket.

"Thank you."

But when I saw Sayaka wiping the wet place with a handkerchief, I was shocked again.

"When I look closer, you still have leftovers in your mouth. No, not that one, ..... this one ... ah, lend it to me."

I took a handkerchief and wiped it from the edge of his mouth.

"Hmm?"

"What's that?"

As I wiped his mouth, he looked at me suspiciously. When I fold the handkerchief, he said.

"So, there's something wrong with you, isn't there? I can tell. Are you rejected or something? "

"Hm."

But he did not continue the matter any further. I guess he thought there was no point in asking any more questions.

"Just don't snack anymore. I'll make dinner soon, so don't play too many games and learn."

"...... Yes yes." yeah."

Then I went back to my room. After changing my uniform, I stepped into the living room again. And for some reason, I found Sayaka still in the living room.

"What's wrong?"

"No, nothing."

He lay on the couch, watching TV, which he usually doesn't do. Moreover, the program is news. It was an unusual choice for Sayaka.

"Fucking brother!"

As I put on an apron and stood in the kitchen, he called me.

"You're a little tired, huh?"

I stopped right as I propped the cutting board up in the sink to wash it off.

"Tired?"

"Yes. I think you're pushing yourself too much."

"...... I'm not forcing myself."

"really"

That's all he said and turned off the TV. Then, Sayaka stood up and looked at me.

"What's that?"

"It's okay. It's just that if you push yourself too hard, you will be attacked in your sleep and killed on the battlefield."

"No, this is not a battlefield."

I rubbed the cutting board with a sponge and rinsed the foam with tap water.

"All right, I'll go back to my room. Call me when the food's ready."

"Yes"

And then he came out of the living room.

...... I think I made him feel uncomfortable. I put the cutting board in the cooking area after washing it and sighed.

I am not forcing myself. There are no lies in those words.

In fact, I only chose the easiest path for me. From that day on, everything about me fell apart. To protect my daily life, to protect myself, there is no other way than to do this.

I slapped my own face. I can't stay depressed forever.

–Now, what should I eat for dinner today?

Turning my mind, I opened the refrigerator door.
