Even if it is Onii-chan, there shouldn't be any problem as long as there is love, right?
Nah, Can't do it.
Things like loving my sister, that is impossible.

You are wrong! In the eyes of the almighty love, race, sex and nationality does not matter!
Things like me and Onii-chan being twins are just tiny and insignificant matters!
Insignificant. You should say that is the biggest problem.
Akiko Himenokouji. Akito's younger sister. Bro-con.
My sister actually said that. What does Nasuhara-san think?
Please do not throw such a pointless question at me, or I'll strip away my lingerie and yell on
the spot.
I can't understand what you are talking about...
Nasuhara Anastasia, a person whose thoughts and expressions are hard to gauge.

... Well next let's hear it from Nikaido-san.
I say, you are already my lover, ain't you? For Akiko to want to get ownership of you only
now, it's already too late. Hehehe.
Urm, right. I must be really stupid to seek your opinions.
Arashi Nikaido. Strong sexual drive. Nicknamed "Predator".
... Forget it. I might as well ask for your opinion, Ginbee.
Akito, if I must say it, I am more worried about you having perverted thoughts on your sister,
who had just moved in to live with you under the same roof.
Am I that untrustworthy......?
Akito Himenokouji. Akiko's brother.
Sawatari Ginbee Haruomi. Akito's good friend.

Well, that's that, Akiko. The probability of the relationship between you and Akito turning
into that of love is 0. That's the conclusion.
To really fall in love with your elder brother, it can only be thought of as going against
morals and common sense.
Well, it's important to know when to give up, Akiko.
H-Horrible! Everyone's rubbing salt into my wounds!

Volume 1
Chapter I - 25th March (The first day of living together)
I'll say it first. This is a <story of the lives of a pair of brother and sister, who
was somehow separated from each other for sometime and for some reasons
was reunited again and began living together under one roof, living their lives
normally without any major happenings - much like the gentle flow of water,
with no bumps and impacts>.
It will probably not be very interesting.
But of course, that is to be expected.
I feel that this is just the way how everyday life should be, for an older-brother
and his younger-sister.
Well, it is precisely because of that reason that I am facing so much troubles
now even after reuniting with my sister.
Let me say it again. This story, it will probably not be very interesting.
There won't be anything huge happening, no unexpected events, and definitely
none of those extremely exciting scenes.
And because we are siblings, there will not be much fan-services either.
If you guys are expecting any of the above scenarios, feel free to throw away
this book now.
Because there are plenty of excellent stories out there that deal with major
events, shocking twists and exciting action scenes. Those stories will definitely
suit your taste better.
I can repeat this as many times as you like. This story has no intention of adding
in elements that 'exist to entertain'.
That is because it is me, the very person narrating this story, that hopes for it
more than anyone else...
"O-Onii-chan?"
"... Hmm?"
"I have a request, can you listen to me?"
"What request?"
"Please sleep together with me tonight."
"......"While in the process of reading a book, I lifted my head and looked at the
face of the speaker.

Volume 1
Long black hair that parts into two sides from the center. Like a (Japanese)
princess.
Her slightly slanted eyes are glittering in anticipation.
She's totally like the beauty you will see in paintings. An undoubted beauty.
However, she is a younger sister.
"... I say, Akiko."
I took a sip of tea and continued.
"If I were to say it, I used to sleep with you in the same bed everyday back
then."
"Yes, those were the happy days."
"However, that was because we were still kids. Right now, we are both sixteen."
"Right."
"There's a saying that guys and girls cannot sleep together after the age of
seven. Your request is not something that should be done by blood-related
siblings who are in their teenage years, understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
Upon seeing my sister nodding her head, I silently heaved a sigh of relieve. She
is more honest than I had expected.
Shouldn't it be this way?
Even if she is my younger sister, it is a fact that we had been separated for over
six years.
After six years of separation, we are more like strangers rather than siblings.
However, she seems to have been groomed into a beauty beyond my
imagination. Why don't you try putting yourself in my shoes and listen to that
sister asking to sleep with you? I'll be surprised if nothing happens.
"Rest assured, Onii-chan."
She is actually that thoughtful?

Volume 1
My sister gave me a smile.
"As from today onwards I can be together with Onii-chan, I've thus decided to
be a good girl who listens to Onii-chan's every orders. As such, I've gave up on
sleeping in the same bed with Onii-chan."
"Hm, is that so. Well, I am really sorry. To think that we had been separated for
quite a while, and yet I poured cold water on you."
"It's nothing. I am the one at fault, to have made such a childish request. I am
sorry."
"...... On my stand, I do wish to try to fulfill your request. It's just that this is
too... you know?"
"All I need are those words. After six years, Onii-chan is as gentle as ever. Akiko
is really happy."
With a forceful nod, she smiled at me.
She must have been too emotional at the reunion, which resulted in her saying
those words just now. That must been what is commonly referred as "impulse".
Right. Even though both of us are going to live together in this house from now
on, there should be nothing that we have to worry about.
She is just like she was. Nothing has changed. She is still a great sister.
From today onwards I should be able to live with her under the same roof
without much worries.
"Even so, Onii-chan has became really daring."
For some unknown reasons, Akiko said it slightly shyly with a flushed face.
"Compared to Onii-chan, I am just like a kid. As expected of Onii-chan."
"Hmm? Really? I don't recall saying anything like that."
"To think that our first night is not to be done in bed, but outside...... Even
though it is really embarrassing, I'll still try my best."
"No wait a second."
10
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
I asked hurriedly.
"What are you talking about? What does 'first night' means?"
"The very first night that a pair of lovers embraced together."
"No no, I am not asking for definitions from a dictionary. When and why has the
topic changed to that sort of stuff? We should be talking about sleeping on the
same bed, no?"
"Wrong. We are discussing about how I and Onii-chan are to spend our very
memorable first night together, right?"
I knitted my eyebrows and said after a slight pause.
"...... I say, even though I have no idea what you are planning, I had never
thought of spending your so called 'first night' with you."
"Eeeeeeeeh!?"
My sister's voice suddenly increased by a pitch.
"That, that is a lie, right!? It's a joke!? To say that you do not want to embrace
your first night with me, that is absolutely impossible right!?"
"...... But to me, I cannot comprehend your shock."
"We are separated for six years!"
"No, that has nothing to do with six years. We are siblings!"
"But prior to the fact that we are siblings, we are male and female!"
"No no, commonly that should be reversed. Prior to male and female relationship,
we are siblings."
I said and again knitted my eyebrows.
"Let's get the facts straight for now. You and me, we are siblings."
"Yes, separated for a long time and finally getting back together again. Living
together from today onwards, a pair of irreplaceable siblings."
"And that sort of us? To have our first night?"
11
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Yes, Akiko's really excited."
"We are blood related siblings!"
"Love can overcome that obstacle."
"Your love means family love between siblings, right?"
"There is no different types of love. To love deeply or to love superficially that is
the only thing that matters when it comes to love."
Her arguing skills sure had improved during the days we were separated.
"...... Well, I guess I have understood what you are trying to get across."
"Right, so you do understand?"
"It's late into the night and we have to get up early tomorrow. It's almost time
to sleep."
"I've been waiting for a long time. I am already mentally prepared."
"Good night, Akiko. I am going back to my room to sleep alone. You should
sleep alone in your room too."
"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!?"
My sister shrieked. Her face became similar to that of a character in a manga.
However, we are siblings and thus it can't be helped, right? Although she tends
to stick a little too close to me.
"How can you do that? That's too much, Onii-chan!"
"Definitely not, I've made the most rational decision."
"Why should you be brainwashed by those useless common sense? We just so
happen to be siblings, right?"
"Even if you are nonchalant about it, it's a huge matter if blood-related siblings
are to do that sort of 'sleeping'! Get it?"
"But we haven't seen each other for six years!"
"Even if it is sixty years, the result will still be the same."
12
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"To think I am really looking forward to it! To think that you will actually crush
the innocence of a young girl. Onii-chan is a really horrible person!"
"Compared to the innocence of a girl, the do's and don'ts of siblings are much
more important."
"It's just a pair of lovers spending the night together, why can't there be
intimate body contact!? Isn't this weird!?"
"That. Is. Why! You have conveniently ignored something! Putting the lover
relationship aside, we are siblings, no!?"
I've became slightly serious. How tiring.
Letting out a sigh, I took a quick glance at my sister.
My sister was looking at me in a stance that says "I beg of you" with a teary
eyes akin to those of a chihuahua.
Looking from neck down, one can see the breasts that are growing due to
puberty. It stood out from the slim shoulders of hers.
The long slender legs that put emphasize on her feminine figure.
It's just six years, but she looks like a stranger to me now.
......
...... No. My thoughts didn't go astray, alright? That is the truth, okay?
"Well."
I cleared my throat.
"I am going to sleep. In my room, alone. I'll not back down on that."
"...... I understand. I guess it can't be helped."
My sister lowered her shoulders in dejection.
"If Onii-chan has to put it in that way, Akiko has no choice but to give up."
"Really? Well, I am sorry. I actually wanted to try to fulfill your request as much
as possible."
13
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"No, it is me who had made those illogical requests. To think deeper into it, it is
wrong for siblings to do those sort of things. What was I thinking... It must have
been because I am too emotional to be reunited with Onii-chan after so long."
"Hmm, is that so?"
"I'll not say those sort of things again. From now on I'll act like how the child of
Himenokouji family should and live my life carefully. Akiko will not create
troubles again."
"Hmm, that is some great spirit from you."
"It's nothing that great."
"Well, is that your true feelings?"
"Yes. If Onii-chan cannot accept it no matter what, I'll have no choice but to
strike deep in the middle of the night-"
*sound of door closing and being locked twice*
"Ahhh? Not only did you close the door without saying anything, you actually
applied two layers of lock? How am I to strike in the middle of the night? That's
too much! That's really too much!"
It seems like she is saying something unreasonable beyond those doors, but that
is not my problem. I buried my head into the blanket and covered my ears
completely.

Chapter 2: 26th March (The second day of living together)
Age sixteen. Male.
Second year of high school.
Average height. Average looks. Average grades.
Both parents deceased, currently living at the house of a relative - aside from
that there is nothing noteworthy. An average guy that you would find
everywhere.
That is me, the entirety of Himenokouji Akito. Or at least that is the case until
yesterday.
"I believe that bro-con is a sort of personality."
My sister began her speech as she ate her breakfast.
"Brother-complex...... That is a precious sort of love that can only be allowed if
the two are closely related. Think about it, even though there are over a billion
people on this earth, how many of the brothers will actually be loved by a bro-
con younger sister? Maybe one or two, at most there will be ten or so. Onii-chan
should first recognize the rarity of such events. Then, you should acknowledge
the beauty of this unique love that is brought about by the close relationship of
siblings."
"Mhmmmm."
"Next, for someone to openly show her bro-con feelings and treat it as
something to be proud of, there can only be me. Bro-con is not only my
personality, but also my badge."
"Really? Well, this miso soup tastes really great."
"Yes, I felt that I've cooked it really well today. There's still plenty left."
"Oh, great. Another bowl please."
"Alright, how much more do you want? A bowl? Or half a bowl?"
"Hmm, half a bowl."
"Understood. Here you go."
"Mhmm, thanks."
"Please eat more so you can get more nutrients. Back on topic, talking about
bro-con-"
15
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Oh? This seasoned vegetables taste great too. Did Akiko make this as well?"
"Yes. In preparation to live with Onii-chan, I've prepared the sauce for the
seasoning a long time ago. Does it suit your taste?"
"Yup, this tastes great. Akiko has became really good at cooking."
"Yes, I've put in effort to learn it. Back on topic, regarding bro-con-"
"Oh? This seaweed soup tastes great."
"That is just something that is sold at the market! And that means that Onii-
chan has absolutely no intention of hearing my speech, right?"
Upon discovering my ploy, my sister nearly flipped the table over.
But what's wrong with that? Why should I listen happily to the talk about bro-
con the first thing in the morning?
Not to mention, the person whom she loves is me!
"It is something really important, so listen to me carefully!"
"No. Well,"
I gave a sigh and continued.
"Even though I know you are a bro-con, why do you love me that deeply? To tell
you the truth, I don't feel that I deserve it."
"That's not true!" Akiko swung her fist about and continued in full force. "I find
Onii-chan really suave! Onii-chan is the only one I loved, right from the start!"
"We haven't see each other for six years. And we had just reunited yesterday."
"It had nothing to do with that!"
I don't understand how she can be so firm about that, but whatever. Her stand
on absolutely not changing her mind has indeed been conveyed to me.
"All right, I understand."
Well, I should make a compromise.
"I'll listen to what you have to say carefully. Indeed, I cannot ignore the sexual
preference of my sister."
"Please do not call it a sexual preference. It's a personality or in other words, an
identity." [TLNote: Identity was said in English]
16
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Okay okay, your bro-con is a sort of personality that is so rare that you should
be proud of it. You should be fine with what I had said right? And then? What
are the feelings and thoughts that you are trying to convey?"
"Right. And so."
Akiko cleared her throat.
"As a reward for the delicious breakfast I've made, please hug me." [TLNote:
The term 抱く/抱いて in Japanese can mean both "to embrace" and "to sleep
with".]
"...... I am extremely worried about the changes that had happened to the inside
of your head."
"Sorry, I got carried away."
"It's great that you realize that."
"Right, I've given up on that. Just a kiss will do."
"Doesn't that increase the difficulty of your request?" [TLNote: Obviously, Akito
chose the lesser evil in his interpretation of hug]
"Or you can just hug me once."
"So the hug you are referring to is not the typical meaning, but the one used
between a male and a female?"
"In any case!"
Akiko slammed on the table with a bang, her eyebrows standing.
"I just want a reward from Onii-chan! Why can't you understand that!?"
"I should be the one who feels like throwing a tantrum!"
"As long as I get to be intimate with Onii-chan, I am happy!"
"Hey, you are asking for more and more."
"...... Fufu, could it be that Onii-chan is still not aware of the situation he is in?"
The edge of her lips lifted slightly. Akiko let out a sinister smile with an
expression that is full of herself.
"To indulge me in my childishness, it can be counted as being intimate with me.
If there are people who see this scene, they will inevitably think like this: 'Ah,
those two are really lovey-dovey'. Fufu... You did not realize that you had totally
fallen into my demonic claws and still put up such a calm expression. Onii-chan
is really cute."
17
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Well, putting that aside, can you get me more miso soup? It's really delicious."
"Right! There's more, so drink as much as you like!"
Even though she mumbled something with a slightly evil look, she still took my
bowl with a bright smile when I handed it to her.
How should I put it... She probably is just too excited about us reuniting and
hasn't calm down, resulting in her being shy. All the talk about having a brother
complex could not be real and she was just saying it accidentally without
meaning it. Perhaps that's actually how it is.
Honestly, it is impossible for me not to be happy about it. To be together with a
younger sister like her.
*
Indeed.
This younger sister is pretty attached to me.
Back then, we would always do everything together.
As our parents are always not home due to work, it had always been my job to
take care of my younger sister, who is of the same age as me.
"I love Onii-chan the most!"
Such words, I heard them everyday.
Of course, I've never considered it even during my dreams. That the 'love' she
meant wasn't pointing to towards family members, but towards the opposite sex.
"The weather's great."
My sister said while sitting by my side and holding a cup of steaming hot tea.
Using an expression akin to that of a cat lying about lazily while basking in the
sun,
"... If Onii-chan can do a lap pillow, things will be even more perfect." [TLNote:
This sounds weird in English because "膝枕" can be used as a verb in JP, but "lap
pillow" in EN is clearly a noun.]
"I'll say it first. That's a no."
"... If Onii-chan can do a lap pillow, I'll die without a regret."
"Stop making it sounds emotional!"
18
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
Even though I said that, my feeling's really good as well.
Even though we were forced to be separated for a long time and became almost
like strangers, my younger sister is still my younger sister. These sort of feelings,
they honestly don't feel bad.
That's right.
Right now, it is near the end of March.
During the spring holidays, we moved.
From the places that we both sojourned in.
To come to this tattered wooden double-storied apartment that has already
stood for over seventy years.
(... I am surprised I was the one who came up with this)
I thought, while looking at the backyard that has not been managed and is full of
dead grass.
Compared to the places we came from, this place is really shabby. For now,
there is only the two of us living in this apartment that was scheduled to be torn
down in the near future-
"I have to thank the Arisugawa family."
My sister said in a slightly serious tone.
"I've caused a lot of trouble for them and accepted much of their cares and
concerns. They had raised me just like their own daughter."
"That's right. Even though Kiyotsugu-san and Shouko-san both have their own
secrets...... Nevertheless I am still grateful to them, really. However, just this
time-"
"It's already a thing of the past."
"Alright, I guess."
"Truthfully speaking, this is something that had been decided way back. It was
decided on the very day I was separated with Onii-chan. One day, I will leave
the Arisugawa family and be together with Onii-chan again."
"...... Well, I guess as much. Your actions make it obvious."
"Yes. This day has finally arrived. Finally."
And with that, my sister gave a light smile.
19
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
A smile that has more warmth than coldness. It's a smile that does not really fit
the current atmosphere, a smile as though it was a falling sakura flower that
was about to meet its demise.
As if for the past six years, she had constantly been looking forward to the
arrival of this very moment.
"Once again, please take care of me, Onii-chan."
20

お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
...... I thought to myself.
Really, she is well brought up. Behaving like this.
To be adopted by a family that is famous beyond famous and to undergo an
education befitting of their status.
From her looks, her walking and sitting posture and many other things. She has
transformed into an impressive lady that will not embarrass herself no matter
what situation she's in.
Even though for these six years, aside from written letters (and it had to go
through two checks, both the Arisugawa family and the Takanomiya family),
Arisugawa family had forbidden us from making any contact with each other.
However, I still have to thank them for raising Akiko well.
Well, as for the case where she became someone who can proudly announce
that she has a brother complex......
I can't really see it as a 'moe factor' and look past it. Instead, it is more like a
'grind ye teeth and wait for ye dad's punch' type of feeling.
"I am sorry, Onii-chan."
Just when I was thinking on such random things, my sister apologized to me out
of the blue.
"Well, all those talks just now, they are really depressing. We should stop talking
about it. For the current us, those are no longer suitable topics."
"Mm...... indeed you are right."
"Even though we are really close siblings, it has been six years since we last met
each other. I feel that no matter what, there will be some awkwardness between
us."
"Yes, you are right."
"Regarding that."
My sister cleared her throat and looked at me seriously.
"Akito-san."
22
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Eh?"
"Akito-san."
"......??"
Suddenly, I was called by my name.
"Eh? What? What's the situation now? Why did you suddenly change the way of
addressing me? Didn't you always address me as <Onii-chan>?"
"Yes. So it is, Akito-san."
With an imposing manner, my sister stuck her face close to mine.
"If I address you like this, we will not feel awkward anymore."
"Eh? Mm, is that... so?"
We had been separated for quite a long time and that period of time happens to
be the most melancholic period in the teenage years. Even if you want us to get
together like the past, it is most probably impossible. Of course, I would love to
get along just like old times.
"That is something that we are helpless in. I understand, Akito-san."
She said while closing down on me with an intensive aura and forcing me to lean
further backwards.
"However, that's a pity. To think we had put in so much efforts to be together
again... and yet us siblings had to act like strangers towards each other. Don't
you think that something is wrong here, Akito-san?"
"Mm, mm, indeed, that is right."
Although I understand.
But what does that have to do with addressing me using my <first name>? [TL
Note: first name here is in English in original text]
And another thing. Why does she have to force herself to end her sentences with
<Akito-san>?
"Yes, it seems like you've noticed the main point."
23
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
With a smile,
"To abandon the term <Onii-chan> which I had used to call you for years, and
changed to addressing you by your name. This action shows that I've put in a
great amount of effort."
"Aha!"
"Isn't it so? To call each other by names, it is impossible to do so unless we have
a very deep relationship with each other. To me, it is something very difficult to
do...... But I've done it."
That does make some senses.
I've no idea how things work in America, but in Japan, to be able to address
someone by their name, you will need to satisfy a lot of conditions first - this
sort of knowledge, I shouldn't have to explain it.
In other words, if we address each other by our name, it will automatically
soften the awkwardness between us.
I see. So she is actually considering a lot of stuff by herself. Well, I guess it is
time for me reflect on it.
Isn't this something that should be done by me first, as an elder brother?
"I've almost let you think about too much stuff."
I retorted by reflex.
"There is still something not quite right. It feels like we are doing something
wrong when I am addressed by you like that."
"You are just not used to it. Soon it will feel natural to you."
"But...... to be called <Akito-san> by my younger sister...... I still feel
something is subtly strange."
"Well, there is a saying that goes 'the thousand miles journey begins with your
first step'. We have to first start by things that we are able to do."
"Please accept it. With it, we will be able to make a step forward. And then, with
this as a pivot, we will slowly shorten the distance between us. To erase from
our hearts the awkwardness and hesitation, step by step."
24
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
To be continuously convinced by my sister, I am gradually shaken.
If we were to continue living together with that awkwardness between us, it will
definitely not be comfortable. Also, I do not have any other methods to break
past this situation.
"I understand. We'll go with this."
"Okay, I am extremely grateful that you can accept my proposition."
"It's nothing to be grateful about. It's not easy to be living together again, so I
do want to get along well with you."
"Thank you very much. To hear those words from you, I am really happy."
A smile. My sister flashed me a smile that showed all of her happy feelings.
...Uh.
It has been like this since then.
My sister has always been an obedient child.
I am not boasting or anything. Her good upbringing has a lot to do with me. As I
had just said, our parents were always not around. Thus, the job of educating
my sister lands onto me. I've always taught her to 'be an outstanding person',
and she had answered to my expectations wonderfully.
"Well, without further ado,"
My sister cleared her throat.
"Akito-san."
"Yes? What?"
"Nothing."
"......Oh?"
"Heehee. Akito-san."
"What?"
25
お兄ちゃんだけど愛さえあれば関係ないよ ねっ (Onii-Ai)
Volume 1
"Nothing. I am just trying it out."
"...... Really?"
My sister seems to be in a really good mood.
...... Well, I guess if this can erase the distance between us, I'll just let her be.
To see her as happy as she is, it's all worth it. It is all because of the fact that I
am incapable that had led to us being separated for six years. If this can allow
me to slightly lessen my sins, it's nothing too bad.
"You seems really happy, Akiko."
"Yes, very happy. This brings me one step closer to my aim."
"Your aim?"
"Because, to address Akito-san like this, it's a lot more intimate than I thought it
will be."
My sister is twisting her body.
"We had finally moved into our love-nest after so much difficulty, and yet we
had not even touched each other once...... We have to break that predicament
as soon as possible. If we do not break down the barriers of both of us quickly,
we will never welcome our very first night, right?"
"Akiko."
"Yes?"
"Forget it. I forbid you to call me by my name."
"Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh?"
My sister leaned backwards and screamed in shock. If I were to say it, it is you,
who screams at such stuff, that is more shocking, understand?
"I really can't lower my guard against you. No matter what sort of stuff, you can
still link it towards that."
"But, isn't it normal for intimate lovers to address each other by name!?"
"Since when have I turned into your lover? We are siblings, okay?"

"That's way too much! You cannot just take back what you had just agreed on
not too long ago! There should be a limit in being fickle!"
"No matter what, no. Understand?"
"Wait! Wait a moment!"
My sister kept getting closer to me.
"How about this. As a compromise, I will slightly change the tone. Is that okay?"
"Change the tone?"
What is she planning?
"Yes. If I change my tone slightly, perhaps I can remove the bad impression that
Onii-chan had. For example-"
She cleared her throat in a rather serious manner, then gave a smile.
"Akito-san ♥"
"Whoa?"
What's this situation? Is it just my imagination? For some unknown reasons it
feels really dangerous.
"How's that?"
"Ugh. Even if you ask me... your actions......"
"Looks like I have to do it yet another time. How about this then?"
She cleared her throat again in a rather serious manner, then gave a smile.
"......Akito-san *pants*"
"Ugh?"
Wh-What's with this? It feels even more dangerous now...... To be honest, I felt
a chill running down my spine......
"Hm. Looks like this will not work either. Then..."
*coughcough*

"......Akito-san. Hee. Hee. Hee..."
"Ugh. Your evil intentions had just flowed out of your mouth."
Even if it is me, I have finally understood.
Really, my sister is just......
"You know, didn't you talk about removing my bad impression just now? All
those stuff you had been doing till now will just produce opposite results."
"Ehehe. Looks like I am busted."
"...... I say, please control yourself, okay? To link anything to that sort of stuff,
are you a cat in heat?"
"Ugh. Don't you think that is a little impolite, to describe me that way?"
"Ah...... Indeed. I am sorry."
"That's right. Even if it is me who love cats a lot, who agrees that they are cute,
who wishes to have a cat in this apartment if possible, who will definitely hug
and pet a cat when I saw one on the street, it still disturbs me if you treat me as
one. Ultimately, cats are just small animals that are in heat due to their instincts.
Compared to me, who is horny for the whole year based on my will. There is
totally no room for comparison."
"On the rare occasion that I listened to your long speech until the very end, and
realized in the end that I am actually digging my own grave. How do I console
myself?"
I let out a sigh.
And took a glance at the sister who is looking at me with a bright smile.
...... Forget it, I'll just treat it as that.
By constantly repeating these retarded conversations, we had cleared away
some of the awkwardness between us as well.
My sister had probably realized that earlier, and thus kept harping on this topic.
"No worries Onii-chan. I'll not be horny to anyone, but you."

"Urgh. I can't treat that as a consolation from you."
And let out yet another sigh.
To be together with an outspoken and cute younger sister.
To be reunited together again like this, it has totally developed in a good
direction that has way exceeded my expectations, and I am really thankful for it.
To be honest, it's a little too much for me to handle.
