“I’m back—”

“Onii-chan! Welcome home!”

When I returned to the apartment, Miku rushed over.

She looked at me with an expectant look.

“H-how was it…?”

“I passed the practical test! The written test went alright as well. I think I probably passed it.”

“Really!? That’s great…”

Miku beamed as if she were herself.

But right after that, she started to look a little anxious.

“B-but… if you pass, onii-chan will become an explorer, right?”

“Oh. That’s right. I’ll make sure to earn lots and get us out of this poor life.”

“But… it’s dangerous, becoming an explorer.”

Miku interrupted my words.

“I saw it on TV today… the death rate of explorers is the highest among all occupations, right?”

“that is…”

“I don’t want my brother to die. I’m happy enough with my current life… onii-chan, do you really have to become an explorer… eh!?”

Miku, who is worried about me, made me so happy I unintentionally hugged her.

“Thank you for worrying about me, Miku. But I will be fine, onii-chan won’t die.”

[T/N Wtf, death flag!?]

“Really…?”

“Of course, how can I leave my cute sister to live on her own? I promise I won’t die.”

“…Okay, it’s a promise.”

“Shall we get out of this poor life together?”

“…”

Miku hesitantly nodded her small head in my chest.

I freed Miku and wiped the tears from her face.

“Let’s move forward together. We can definitely do it.”

“Ah, um…! Onii-chan, if there’s anything I can do, please let me know!”

Miku said that while smiling happily.
