Also Even though Arisu and Iris have the same last name. Amane usually refers to Arisu as Yurizono. And Iris as just Iris.
It’s Alice using the super cutesy way of her referring to herself with her own name. I don’t always translate it, but I’ll do it some times, so keep that in mind. Also I don’t always translate the “-sans” but Amane usually uses them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We decided to sleep in the rented out lodge.
It’s safer to sleep there because you can lock the door.
Since Yanomiya and I stayed up late watching the light trap, I decided it would be best if we went to bed now.
Although it was hard to get moving, because Yanomiya ended up sleeping while sitting on my lap.
She usually sits on my knee while facing the other way, but right now she is facing me while straddling my lap and hugging me from the front.
In the past I wasn’t conscious of her, so I was fine with her being around me. However, ever since I saw her nude in the hot spring, and saw her girly figure. I can’t help but feel excited when she hugs me.
Yanomiya trusts me fully.
And yet I. . .
I can’t help but feel immense guilt.
I thought about that as I watched the fire I used for cooking die.
Then I heard a faint creaking of a door and looked towards it.
Exiting from the lodge was Iris-san. The lights inside the lodge were all off, so she must be trying not to wake anybody.
(“When everybody sleep, I have something I want to ask for”)
The words she told me when we were on our way to the onsen echoed in my head.
And like she said, she came out once everybody fell asleep.
So what kind of request is it?
I am indebted to Iris-san, so I want to do all I can to fulfill it.
But I can’t help but feel nervous when she said she wanted to tell me when everybody went to sleep.
What could it be that she couldn’t say it in front of everybody?
My heart is racing.
“Fufu. She fell asleep. Didn’t she?”
Iris-san sat down beside me and looked at the sleeping Yanomiya in my arms with warm eyes.
“She has such a peaceful, secure sleeping expression. She looks so comfortable, It’s almost like she is sleeping while holding her mom.”
Iris-san smiled warmly.
It hurts to be told that. Even though Yanomiya trusts me. And yet now I am conscious of her. . .
Ahh, geeze. I really am an idiot.
“I am pretty weak when I spoil people.”
Iris-san said that with a melancholy smile as she looked into the embers.
Not good with spoiling people.
Although if you look at Iris-san it makes sense.
She is a scared, timid person. You must be firm and reliable to take care of people.
However since we are just high school students and Iris-san is a university student. You would think she would get have gotten better at it.
“I thought that because I was weak, I would just make it worse. However that changed when I saw Arisu-chan.”
She gave me a side long glance.
Those mysterious red eyes had flames swaying to the side of them.
“Arisu-chan ended up protecting me for a long time. She protected her weak older sister. She really is amazing. However now I regret that, I feel like it was the wrong choice to avoid my faults.”
Protected? Yurizono protected Iris-san? That seems pretty far fetched, but Iris-san wouldn’t lie.
“Our parents weren’t home. They were often never were around. Because they are really busy people and often flying around the world. So I should’ve fulfill the mother role for Arisu-chan, but I wasn’t able to. To the contrary, I ended up being the protected one. . .”
Her parents weren’t home.
I see now.
That’s how Yurizono’s common sense deviated from normal people.
Although she was wealthy, she only ate bread.
And the older sister has an abnormal attachment to her younger one.
I wonder if Yurizono did want her sister to take on the parental role.
Perhaps that’s the reason she calls me Mama.
Regardless, I’m sure that Yurizono’s bizarre behavior is because of the unnatural environment she grew up in.
“Arisu-chan came to avoid me, perhaps because I was in such an apologetic state. I apologized to her to try to smooth things, but I feel like that just didn’t change anything at all. I don’t think she wanted an apology. She is really amazing compared to me.”
She hung her head in shame.
That reminds me. There has been times when she apologies to Yurizono and Yurizono just tells her she doesn’t need to apologize.
Although I don’t think Iris-san notices it, but Yurizono is probably not upset. It’s most likely the opposite.
I think Yurizono actually wants to protect her older sister. However, ever times she apologizes to Yurizono and reminds her that she shouldn’t need to protect her, then the gap slowly grew between them.
An older sister who wants to be more dependable, and a little sister who wants to protect her older one.
Such a similar desire, even though they have polar opposite personalities.
It kind of reminds me of my desire to want to be depended on when I was a man.
“But Arisu-chan started to change. About a year ago, I felt like she was getting happier. She has changed so much by now. And then Arisu-chan even said to me “if you have spare time, why don’t you go with us during the summer vacation””
One year ago? That should be around the time when she met the female version of me?
I’m starting to understand her story more. And why Yurizono has such a spontaneous personality.
And even though she can be annoying, Alice is starting to warm up to Yurizono as well. Although it seems like she wasn’t always like that.
Plus even though Iris-san has never talked to us. She took the risk and invited her.
However it wasn’t me that caused this change. It was the female me.
Her efforts weren’t in vain though. I want to tell her that she did a good job.
“Nowadays, Arisu-chan started to talk to me. Little by little. She would tell me stories about the world’s best Onee-chan, Amane Minazuki.”
She said that with a giggle.
“I war really surprised when I saw you. You were kind, but at the same time didn’t have any weak spots. You were composed, but then at times you were tense. You looked like a normal girl, yet you felt like you had the presence of a mountain. I understood then, Yurizono wasn’t exaggerating.”
She scratched her cheek as she bashfully said that.
I’m not that amazing.
“I am older, and you are younger. So I may feel pathetic, but I can endure this feeling, So I can say. I respect you.”
She looked right at me with serious eyes and a red face, then said that.
W-why? I’m not that great of a person.
When I was a guy, all I wanted to do was protect and see my little sister smile, and yet I failed at that. So I’m far from whatever you are saying.
But then I realized something.
It’s not about how much feelings you push on somebody, but I think it’s about how much you sympathies and care for each other.
However I don’t think people can change that easily, perhaps it was unlikely.
Although I won’t make that mistake again.
Right now the affection and caring Alice has for me is a gift, and I’m happy to give back.
I want to pour my true love into Alice.
Now it’s no longer one way love. Alice and I can care for each other together now. Mutual love.
“Amane-san, can I ask you a favor?”
She turned to me and said that with a serious expression.
“!?!”
I couldn’t help but freeze up.
The fire embers glowed upon us as she looked at me with sweet red upturned eyes.
Her figure ended up mesmerizing me for a bit, so much I forgot my anxiety for a second.
This woman’s beauty can destroy a country.
“I am weak and I don’t want to be protected by Arisu anymore. I was just scared to be alone. I wasn’t able to because I was so scared. So to change myself. . . Can I act spoiled towards you?”
She begged me in a sweet voice.
Looking at me with upturned eyes, asking me . . .
My Onii-chan blood is boiling as I see somebody in need of help.
“It’s only when we are alone, is that okay? I am older than you, but can I act like your younger sister? It’s not like I want you to take care of me more than Alice-san, but I need to be careful around her. But when it’s just the two of us, I’d just like to be loved.”
She said that with upturned spoiled eyes, but she was shaking.
If I refuse, all of the friendship we’ve built up would be lost. I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Possibly the most dangerous situation I could be in, and then the battle would be hard fought.
But I said.
I said I would do anything to repay her. . .
“Iris-chan.”
I held Yanomiya with my right arm, and extend my left arm towards Iris-san as I said that.
“Come here Iris-chan.”
I smiled as much as I could when I said that.
Iris-san’s shivering body stopped, and then- – –
She closed her eyes, gave a sigh of relief, and then like a marionette broken from their thread, collapsed onto me.
I hugged her with my left arm.
Just like the hot spring, I smelled the sweetness of her and the softness of her skin.
My breathing got rough as my heart was racing. My excitement is rising.
I tried to suppress those thoughts as hard as I could.
I have to be the Onee-chan. I have to be the Onee-chan Iris-san wants.
I will do it.
Don’t make light of Onii-chan Onee-chan.
“Actually since we went to the sea. . . I wanted this. . .”
She put her weight on me as she had her face buried on my shoulder.
“As a matter of fact, I was the one that kissed your cheek. . .”
She was saying that to my ear.
Actually when Yanomiya, Kiniwa and Iris-san were watching the light trap, and Kiniwa plus Iris-san were crushing me. She said she kissed my cheek while in the confusion.
I felt something and thought maybe it was Kiniwa, but I never would have imagined it being Iris-san.
“Also, I carefully tripped in the hot spring on purpose. . .”
I was totally shocked by what I was hearing.
It was on purpose?
The hot spring is slippery, so I assumed it was an honest carelessness.
But it was actually on purpose?
“Can you forgive such a bad little sister?”
She said.
Forgive? What did she really do that was terrible? However I have to think about how I should react while I am suppose to be taking care of her.
Naturally I forgive her, but Iris-san thinks what she did was a bad thing. And she wants to be told it.
I guess- – –
“A punishment is need for a bad child.”
Iris-san shivered as she heard my words. She then firmly hugged me.
I then lightly kissed her cheek.
“Because if you do something wrong again, I’ll have to kiss you again.”
As I told her that, her stiff body relaxed onto me.
Then- – –
“Onee-chan is so mean. But If you say that I may want to do something bad again.”
She looked up at me with an embarrassed smile.
Her smile was very soft, it was the most childish smile I’ve seen from her.
