CH 37

— “So, who are these girls?”

“…ah~”

Just as I was about to finish shopping with my sister, I unexpectedly encountered the three of them.

Mari and the others walked awkwardly towards me, and our gazes met mine, but they just smiled affectionately and didn’t say anything.

However, the only thing is that Saika is almost expressionless and a little bit scary, but anyway, I asked them why the three of them are here.

” Erm… What are doing here you three?”

It’s not like we could keep quiet .after meeting like this

It was Mari who answered my question first.

“Actually, the three of us were shopping. Then Kai-kun and that person were together…”

It seems that they were not followed or anything like that, but they just happened to see us.

Certainly the girls must have met the older sister before, but the fact that they don’t seem to have any particular memory of her may be due to hypnosis.

“So that’s the case. Oh, these three -”

So I gave my sister a brief explanation.

When I told her that Mari and Saika were my classmates and Emu was my junior, she was surprised that I knew such beautiful girls, but she laughed and said that I am not bad at all.

“Who is that person over there?”

“…Yes. I’m curious.”

Saika and Emu, who stepped forward, said so.

Since it wasn’t anything to hide, I was going to honestly say ‘sis’, but as if to interrupt her, she took my arm.

“Hey Kai, what were you doing now?”

“What-?”

She held my arm around her flat chest and leaned in even closer.

After all, even if my sister does this to me, I’m still her little brother no matter how far I go, I guess.

“Ah, could it be that she is your little sister?”

“No.”

She’s not my little sister, so when I denied it, Mari and Emu pouted.

“…Saika?”

“—”

And then Saika’s gaze became even sharper.

Well, that was only for a moment, and Saika’s expression returned to its original expressionless state, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still scary.

“It’s my older sister. I was shopping with her today.”

Apart from the sis who elbowed me for being called little sister and the cold air that was in the air disappeared and Saika was smiling once again.

Well, even so, how did I come to know these girls, of course, that’s what Sis was curious about. She invited the three of them to tea.

(… what is this space, how did this happen?)

I was taken to a coffee shop that was obviously so stylish that only girls were allowed to enter… and I’m prejudiced to say that.

My sister is sitting next to me and Mari and the others are sitting opposite me.

“…What? Kai did that?”

“Yes. It was in a place I didn’t know about, but Kai-kun helped me.”

This is not surprising, because when my sister talks to Mari and the others, things that were previously unknown become known.

In order to satisfy my desires, I ended up saving the three of them, and when Sis found out about it, she still looked incredulous, but she immediately nodded as if she was somewhat convinced.

“Kai-chan… well, but I never thought you didn’t have it. To be honest, I don’t know why I thought so myself.”

“—”

Sis stroked my head as she stretched out her little arm.

The gazes directed at me not only by Sis but also by Mari and the others, were warm, and I had to endure indescribable shame for a while.

After that, even though it was a good time, Sis continued to talk with Mari and the others.

I couldn’t resist and headed for the toilet, but I felt uncomfortable about returning to that space.

“…Well, my sis is a bit of a communication guru in a way, and she seems to be compatible with Mari, and I’m sure she thinks Saika and Emu are cute too.”

As a younger brother, I’m happy about the fact that she’s getting along so well with them like that.

“I guess I should go back for now, I don’t want them to think I got upset stomach.”

Then I went back and enjoyed a bit of conversation again before calling it a night.

After we left the shop, me and Saika were staring at the sister who was happily conversing with Mari and Emu at a bit of a distance.

“Miyako-san, Is a very easy person to talk to.”

“Really? I’m happy to hear you say so.”

“She also told me to come visit her whenever I want.”

“…Seriously?”

“Yeah. Now I can meet Kai-kun whenever I want .”

Well, my sister would have said something like that, but… but yeah.

I was going to the girls’ house to a certain extent, but in this way, the girls would have a reason to come to my house from now.

“…fufufu.”

So that means we can do all sorts of things in my room!

Well, the things we do don’t change that much, but being in my own house, which I’m used to, it’s just that it makes me feel better.

“Hey, Kai?”

“….What?”

It was probably because I was in such a good mood that I was so distracted.

Why couldn’t I imagine that, I stopped thinking when Saika asked me a question.

“Before we met Kai-kun and Miyako-san, what did you do to that man?”

“…Eh?”

I stopped moving completely at those words.

I slowly looked back at Saika’s expression, but she just stared back at me, as if waiting for me to speak. Saika’s question was probably in response to the fact that she was watching the scene.

She doesn’t seem to know the important part of what I did as long as she is asking me like this, but even so, she saw Busujima talking to me.

“…It’s fine, If you don’t want to say anything. In fact I don’t care”

“Huh?”

With a giggle, Saika lined up next to me.

While staring at the girls with me, Saika continued with these words.

“I didn’t look at them in that much detail, and more importantly, I don’t care about that guy. Mari and Emu also know what happened, but from what I hear about the commotion, it seems he’s a criminal who had something that can’t be taken back.”

“… really?”

That’s certainly true, but… is it safe to assume that the scene where I was using that app hasn’t been seen?

Saika doesn’t seem particularly suspicious of me either, and for the time being I’m relieved that Saika didn’t pursue the matter.

“Kai-kun.”

“…?”

As if in a slurp, she intertwined her fingers with my hand.

She continued her words with a sweet gentleness, as if she had removed any trace of the face that had been called a sober girl until recently, and showed me her hidden aesthetic beauty, and above all, as if she was slowly telling me the truth.

“The clear line between right and wrong is up to the person… I will not deny what Kai-kun does. That’s why I–”

“Wait, what are you two talking about?”

Before I realized it, it seemed that I was having a conversation with Saika at a reasonably close distance.

I thought about it earlier, but Saihua’s sweet and kind words, which are filled with a lot of sweetness, I’m sorry to say, but it was almost swallowed up. So it was a relief that Emu called out to me like this.

(…I wonder what it is. It’s not that I’m scared, but Saika never denies anything I do, or it’s a strange feeling that makes me think she will always be on my side no matter how far I go.)

I feel something similar from Mari and Emu about that… I think.

After that, I said goodbye to the three of them and went home with my sister.

“…I really wonder what’s wrong with that guy…”

“Who’s that guy?”

My sister’s muttering was probably about Busujima.

I don’t know what will happen to Busujima until tomorrow or a few days later, so I think I need to talk to her about it.

My sister replied to my words.

“Is it coincidence or what. Well, even within the department, there are some bad rumours about him, or rather, I was told that it’s better to stay away from him because he’s dangerous.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. I know I shouldn’t be saying this, but… but I am pleased to hear that he’s in police custody.”

“…I see.”

Seeing my sister’s relieved look, I exhaled, somewhat relieved, too.

Returning to my room, I slowly took out my phone and once again activated the hypnosis app screen.

“…You really are a great guy, buddy. I’m not going to talk about justice, or even talk about the great things I did to do good. But thank God you’re here. And who knows, if something might have happened to my sister that she couldn’t take it back.”

I know I’m an idiot for thanking him for the app.

Still, it was also because of this power that I was able to solve the problem in a way that prevented things from happening in the first place.

“–?”

But in the midst of all this, I wondered why I’d seen the line connecting my name before.

When I clicked to that page, there were several lines connecting my name, and three of them were still shining in a dark pink color.

There were two new lines, not as thick as those three, but thicker, and also more lines that looked black and shredded.

“…So please explain something to me. I’m so scared.”

In the end, as usual, I didn’t know what this was.
