Volume 2 - CH 8

Chapter 8: The Fallen Angel And The Demon In Me

My sister's behavior is still strange. ......

I want to believe that she is not. I sincerely hope that my expectations are far off, but as if to betray my wish, Miyuki's behavior is accelerating. ......

At night, while the family was sitting around the dinner table, Miyuki was still staring at her phone with her cheeks bright red. However, she occasionally glanced at me as if she was concerned about my eyes as I sat next to her. That's when I first noticed that her phone has a peep-proof filter on it, which it didn't have until yesterday.

It's a coincidence. ...... Me, I know a beautiful perverted girl who reads sensual novels on her way to school, taking advantage of the fact that the peep-proof filter is on.

No, my sister is not like that. ...... I want to believe that it can't be, but sometimes when I see her wriggle, I want to cry terribly. ......

Our parents thought it was bad manners to see Miyuki like that, and my mother rebuked her, saying, "Miyuki, at least put down your phone when you eat." But right after that, the words she uttered drew blood from the faces of everyone in the family except her.

"Hey mom, are me and Onii-chan blood related?"

OH......NO.......

I felt as awkward as if a wet scene had suddenly started in a TV drama we were watching as a family. My father wiped the tea from his mouth the moment he heard what she said.

My mother smiles tightly at her child's question and says, "M-Miyuki?　What's wrong all of a sudden?"

"Because he and me don't look alike at all. So I wondered if we really are brother and sister."

Well, it's true that our faces don't look alike at all. ......

At Miyuki's words, my mother laughed and looked at father for some reason, "Haha...... surely they don't look alike at all." And my father wrinkled his brow as if in anguish at my mother's gaze for some reason. My heart and lungs stopped for about five seconds when I saw the two of them.

Hey, hey, mom. What are you looking at him for?　But, Dad, what do you need to be worried about?

"Hey, what do you think?　Are you and me related?"

Miyuki asked that again.

"You idiot ...... Ryutaro and Miyuki are both our children ....... They don't look like each other at all ...... you see!　Even mom and aunt don't look alike at all, right?"

I don't know......I see it as if my mom is trying to get away with something.......

Mother answers that to Miyuki's persistent question. Then deep snow muttered something like that with some disappointment, "Owh~......."

Sister. Why are you disappointed...?

I was frozen in silence at this family exchange, unable to even speak properly.

But right after that, my pocket shook and I pulled out my phone from my pocket.

In times like this, the only way out is to escape reality. I tapped the phone with this thought in mind, only to discover that this act wasn't an escape from reality at all.

[I'm in trouble, Senpai. It seems Miyuki-chan is reading a sensual novel.]

That's what was displayed on my phone. In fact, Suzune and I had finally exchanged our messaging app accounts a few days ago. And this is the first message after the exchange.

OH......NO.......

As I'm in a complete cardiac arrest and turned into a giant phone stand, more messages appear on my phone.

[Just now, Miyuki-chan sent me an URL novel recommendation. I've already read the latest chapter of that novel. Do you think I should honestly tell Miyuki-chan about it?]

Oh, you and I have totally different awareness of the issue: .......

I was feeling so bad, when a stamp of a bear shedding tears appeared on the screen. And right after that, I received the URL of the novel that this Miyuki seems to be reading, so I greeted her with a small "Thanks for the food ......" and ran away to my room.

***

No...... this novel is not good.......

I returned to my room and spent the next two hours or so reading the latest chapter of a sensual novel that Miyuki seemed to be reading.

The novel is called "My sister has been seducing me since I started going out with her." by Usa Mochizuki, and I recognized it. The work has been gaining points rapidly over the past few days, and it's a popular work that is ranked second in the ranking. In other words, it was my rival's work. To be honest, every time I check the daily rankings, I'm always nervous that this work will overtake me in the rankings.

What kind of a girl is Miyuki, of all people, to read such a work?

But that's not important yet. Rather, the problem is the content.

As the title says, the main character goes out with a beautiful girl who likes to read. The main character and the girl are lovey-dovey, but the younger sister, who is watching them, gradually becomes jealous of the girl and starts to seduce her brother. At the same time, the parents tell the protagonist that he and his sister are not related by blood, and this leads to the protagonist becoming aware of her as the opposite sex, and a secret relationship begins.

No, it was definitely interesting. It's a crazy setup, but the psychological portrayal is so carefully done that you can understand why the protagonist gets emotionally involved and why the younger sister secretly thinks about her brother.

But it's ...... not a good idea for Miyuki to read something like this .......

It made sense that Miyuki had confirmed the blood connection with our parents earlier.

But the most astonishing scene was the one where the protagonist and his sister were sleeping together. ......

The sister visits the protagonist in his room, saying she had a scary dream, and sleeps with him, where she begins to seduce him. ......

Miyuki ...... is completely affected by this scene. ......

I know. I know that Miyuki, who loves shoujo manga, is easily absorbed into the story. ......

And then someone knocks on my door. At that moment, I slid off my desk chair in surprise and fear. Immediately after, the door to my room opens.

I look at the door and there stands Miyuki, dressed in her pajamas and wearing a sleep cap, still holding a long, thin stuffed rabbit in her arms.

"O-Onii-chan?"

Miyuki tilted her head curiously when she saw me rolling on the floor with the chair.

"Hey, what's wrong ......?"

I asked her as I rubbed my lower back, and for some reason, Miyuki stained her cheeks and mumbled quietly, "I had a scary dream ......."

Seeing her like that, I couldn't keep my mouth shut.

What's with that embarrassed look on her face? ...... Why does she look so embarrassed just by entering her brother's room? When Miyuki came into the room, she looked down at me lying on the floor, her face still red as ever, and covering her mouth with her clenched hands, she turned her head away slightly as if ashamed, saying, "I-I want to sleep in my onii-chan's room again today......."

Her eyes were moist for some reason, and when I saw them, I was convinced.

These eyes are definitely the eyes of someone who is a sensual novel reader. ...... And they are the eyes of a serious addict.

I know two people who got into sensual novels out of curiosity and got stuck there and ruined their lives.

Hey, hey, that's Shota ....... Miyuki, are you also a patient of Shota syndrome?

I was so shocked that I was in a stupor, and Miyuki looked at me again.

"Onii-chan ...... you hear me?　I'm scared today, come sleep with me ......."

I take a deep breath and try my best to play my normal self.

"Hey, then get your mother to sleep with you ......."

But Miyuki shakes her head.

"Well, I'm too embarrassed to ask my mom to do this. Besides, I prefer to be with my onii-chan ......."

"What.......?"

And then, Miyuki drops the bombshell. But she seemed to realize that she had said too much and mumbled something like, "That's ..... the thing." trying to make some excuse. But suddenly, she holds up a stuffed rabbit in her arms in front of me.

"And ...... Mii-chan says she wants to sleep with you, too. Right, Mii-chan?　"I want to sleep with Onii-chan too!"　See?"

"See? Do you think I'm going to fall for your childish tricks?"

When I replied, Miyuki's eyes darted around and she fidgeted. But suddenly, her expression slightly clouded and she asked, "Onii-chan ...... don't want to sleep with me?"

My heart trembled slightly as my sister called me Onii-chan for the first time in about a decade.

But I immediately shook my head, saying it wasn't a good idea.

Don't be fooled, Ryutaro. She's my little sister. No, she's cute. I did think it was a little cute the way she was acting right now. I have never wanted to admit it, but I think her face is prettier than most schoolgirls walking around. But you know what, Ryutaro? It's your blood sister you're talking to!

Someone whispered in my brain.

--- "Gahahahahahaha!　Ryutaro. This is a good opportunity, isn't it? If you take this opportunity to acquire the pervert trophy of sister attribute, you will be able to expand the scope of your creations even more!"

It was the demon inside me that whispered.

Damn that demon, how dare he whisper that to me. But I'm sure I'd like to take a look at that perverted trophy .......

But then someone whispers in my brain again.

--- "No, no, no, no, no. Miyuki is your cute little sister. You shouldn't spit on an innocent girl."

It was the angel inside me that whispered.

I felt that the angel's language was a little dirty, but she was right. It's indeed too dangerous to sleep with my sister in this state.

--- "What are you talking about? It's a pervert trophy harvest festival. With this, we won't have any trouble getting sister stuff in the future, will we?"

--- "No, you can't do that."

--- "Besides, didn't his mom act a little strange today?　I'm sure that was proof that Ryutaro and Miyuki aren't blood related."

--- "That's true. ......"

--- "If they're not blood related, it's not a problem, right?"

--- "That's right. If they're not blood related, then it's not a problem. Ryutaro. Do it!"

Hey, you're a damn fallen angel ....... Make more of an effort to dissuade me. ......

"Onii-chan ......, are you listening to me?"

And there, Miyuki puffed out her cheeks with a miff at me for not making a decision.

Then I .......

"All right. Then I'll sleep with you today. But it's just for today. From tomorrow on, you'll sleep alone or with your mother or father."

And in the end, I was defeated by the push of Miyuki, fallen angels, and demons. At my words, Miyuki's expression brightened and she nodded her head, saying, "Yes, I understand."
