“… Haah. What’s happening, why is my heart beating so fast?”

Ever since she got home, she, Kanade Doumoto, had been thinking about that man who saved her.

When a certain persistent man blocked her way, she was in fear that something bad would’ve happened to her. But certainly nothing bad had happened, as her saviour, a man in a mask, came to her rescue.

“His back was wide… His voice was gentle, that soothes my heart.”

His big back made her feel safe, his gentle voice was so soothing for Kanade that it’s been echoing in her heart for a while now.

“Are you unharmed?”

“… Hn… What’s going on? Why isn’t it stopping?”

Kanade slowly placed her hands on her chest as she rested her back against the bed while still being in her school uniform.

Her face is still very young, having just become a high school student this year, and her appearance gives the impression of innocence, but her body was that of a refined woman.(E/N:Nani?)

When she placed her hand on her tightened breast, she felt the thumping of her heartbeat in her palm despite the bulge.

“… Haan.”

It was so loud, she couldn’t get that man out of her mind.

She did not have that many opportunities to get involved with people of bad personality like that man earlier who tried to do something to her, much less meet someone who was as protective as that masked man was.

“I’m not good with… men, but that person was… kind of like a big brother to me.”(E/N: Hahh, I guess you guys should reread the first few chapters to know the name of the mc, good luck!)

She wondered how those words came out of his mouth, ~like an older brother.

“… I hope Mama will be happy with this gift.”

She picked up the present she bought for her mother, which was also the cause of the two encounters she had today: a bad one and a wonderful one.

“… Haan. A lot’s happened to me lately.”

Her family history she recently learned about, which made her heart stop pounding a little when she thought about it.

Both of Kanade’s parents were close friends in the past, they were wonderful parents who cared for her, their daughter. But she was surprised when she heard that their meeting was quite special.

Her father originally had a woman he was in love with, and her mother had a marriage partner to make a good match. Yes, originally they could have been with someone else.

The man her mother was supposed to marry was her father’s brother, but the marriage broke up when he left home. Kanade heard that the man chosen to make up for it was her current father, who was his younger brother.

“… didn’t want to hear something this complicated.’

In the end, her mother ended up with someone from the same family, so I guess you could call it a good marriage. However, it seems that her father had some conflicts, not to mention her mother. But fortunately, the two of them were brought together through such a time, and they got along surprisingly well.

“Sure that a lot of things have gone wrong because of my brother. But I am happy to have met your mother, as you were born.”

Her father whom she respected, who was now the president of a company, told this to Kanade.

She was relieved to know that him spending time with her mother was not just a formality, but that he loved her with all his heart.

“… And that person… Mou, I’m thinking about him again.”

Just a moment ago she was thinking about her father and mother, but soon her mind was filled with thoughts of that man who had saved her.

She was puzzled as to why she thinks of him so much, but she didn’t dislike it. And moreover whenever she thinks about that man, she becomes more excited than usual, and for some reason, it’s comfortable.

“He’s like my dad… but also like a big brother.”

The feeling of security like a father, the feeling of security that if she had an older brother, he would be like this, the presence of that man was growing inside Kanade to the point that she couldn’t help it.

“… Brother… huh?”

Kanade turned her attention to a bookshelf filled with manga.

There are quite a few manga recommended by her friends there, but more than that, of course, there is a large amount of stuff she bought herself stored there.

Most of these comics had one thing in common.

“… Big brother… ehehe.”(E/N:Welp here you go, if this isn’t enough of a hint, idk what.)

Most of the comics there were about handsomely big brothers.

There are many different kinds of sister-oriented stories that involve an older brother and a younger sister in love, some of which have a blood connection and some of which do not. Some of them are a little bit too devilish for children to read, but Kanade has been longing for an older brother.

She wasn’t in much contact with men other than her father for a long time. She thought that someone like him would be kind and reassuring, and that was the various older brothers she read in manga books.

“Big brother… that person is like a big brother, my big brother…!” [。◕‿◕。]

She wants to be stroked on the head by those big hands, she wants to be hugged by those strong arms, she just wants him to call her name… She wants to be his sister, so she thought of this rather seriously,

“I’ll do anything… everything that… my big brother wants me to do.”

And so Kanade has entered in her wildest of fantasies.

In her imagination, she dreamt of a world where the man she met today was her own brother. Such a truly wonderful world.

The brother who gently speaks to her, the brother who is dependable but has a weak side, the brother who devours her body… would be more excited if they were real siblings who are related by blood or something.(E/N: Specific huh, but well, depends on you guys if you still want to read this, but I guarantee it will be worth your time.)

“… Haan?”

And soon after she passed out in pleasure.

When she woke up, raising her upper body, she found out that her groin was in serious trouble and sighed that she had done it again.

“… I did it again. But… ehehe, today was great♪”

Kanade was surprised to see her reflection in the mirror, though she was only a girl who had just turned sixteen, the expression on her face was something a young girl like her shouldn’t be wearing.

“… But, why was he like that? Will I ever see him again?”

Even wearing a mask is different from the norm, but that still doesn’t explain why she is so attracted to him. No matter how much she thought about it, she could not figure it out, but she began to think about wanting to see that person again.

[Hayato’s POV]

“Aa… achoo!”

“Ara, you have a cold?”

“No… perhaps someone’s thinking of me?”

When I put my hand on my mushy nose, Arisa handed me a tissue.

“Thank you.”

“Fufu, You’re welcome.”

It’s definitely the cold season, but I don’t think it’s a cold. I wonder if my friends are gossiping about me.

I went home right after I helped that girl.

Then of course Arisa and Aina were waiting for me. The first thing we do when we meet at home like this is to embrace each other, and then kiss each other. Often the mood develops beyond that, but it didn’t happen today.

“… Oh, my shoulder hurts.”

“Shall we continue at night?”

“Yeah.”

As soon as I got home, the three of us had some time before the bath to study for the upcoming final semester exam.

Arisa and Aina are very smart, and I was learning a lot from them. Arisa’s way of teaching was particularly easy to understand, she was able to clearly reevaluate what I was doing wrong and what I was not good at.

“Hayato-kun’s a quick learner. So amazing.”

“No, I’m not. Actually Arisa has a good way of teaching.”

“Oh, yeah? I’m glad to hear it. Did I help you?”

“Of course. Thanks.”

I reached out and patted Arisa’s head and her eyes narrowed happily.

Now, aside from Arisa, Aina was also studying with me, but there’s something amiss… She’s not participating in the conversation at all. I then turned my attention to the bed.

“… Mou, Hayato-kun, you shouldn’t be licking there today…?”

She seemed to have been holding on until the middle of the day, but she seemed to have been quite sleepy from the time she returned home and went to bed. Her cute sleeping face made me smile, but Arisa seemed to think I was being sloppy.

“Seriously this girl is…”

“Well, let her be. She has a quite the cutesy sleeping face.”

“… Yeah, I can’t deny that.”

Okay, well, I’m gonna go get ready for the bath.

When I was about to stand up thinking that, Arisa said something,

“Hey Hayato-kun… may I ask for a reward?”

“Reward? Yeah, sure.”

I wonder what she’s gonna ask? But the words that followed were a little surprising.

“Just momentarily… But can I be your wife for today?”

“Wife you say? Let’s see…”

What does she want me to do?

Maybe Arisa doesn’t know for sure, but can we just make out for now? Thinking so, I held Arisa close to me.

“Thank you Arisa for everything, my wife is such a wonderful person, I’m really happy to be with you every day…”

And the moment I said this, I understood one thing,

That it is so embarrassing…

“… Un. As your wife… I’m happy too.”

She may look embarrassed, just like me, but she still manages to get the last word in. Watching her like that, I was filled with love for her.

As we held and stared at each other’s eyes, another voice broke in.

“Babu… Babu!”

“Huh?”

“… Why you Aina?”

Aina woke up and sounded like a baby.

We smiled bitterly at Aina, who looked at the two of us as if she wanted to tell us to stop leaving her out of fun.

“Hayato-kun, I’m a baby now, so take care of me! Come, hurry!”

The fact that the beautiful girl who’s been spoiling you is asking you to spoil her… Kind of scary.

“I’d love to have a baby like you.”

“I’m fine being yours too, Nee-san?”

“No, it’s weird… I mean, really, stop doing that.”

“… Ai.”

Apparently, Aina’s Babu attack was weird from Arisa’s point of view.(E/N:LMAO)

[Postscript]

Let’s hope for a cute little sister.
