Believing She Has Been Reincarnated into a Baseball Game, My Little Sister Is Aiming for the Koshien, While I Give It My All to Keep Her from Finding out That It’s Actually an Ntr Game - Chapter 7

While Riko was taking a bath, Maika and I moved to the second floor, into Yamada Kyugo’s room.

What was supposed to have started earlier had been postponed due to an unforeseen incident, but now, finally, our private strategy meeting was about to begin.

“…………”
“…………”

I sat down on the bed, while Maika stood, leaning against the wall.

The first thing we needed to confirm was our shared understanding, but it was still nerve-wracking to articulate. It seemed Maika felt the same tension.

Yet, she appeared to have steeled herself sooner than I had. With a very solemn expression, she muttered quietly,

“Does she not realize… that she’s dead…?”

That’s what you’re worried about? That’s completely unrelated to what I was thinking. We clearly haven’t shared our thoughts properly.

“Haah…”

I couldn’t help but sigh.

“Come on, that doesn’t matter anymore.”

“It does matter, absolutely.”

“Riko is alive! Isn’t that enough? There’s nothing more to it!”

“Eh… You’re abandoning thought… You only see what you want to see…”

“Shut up! There’s no use thinking about it! It’s not like we could understand it even if we tried!”

At the very least, it seems certain that Riko doesn’t understand she died once—there’s no mistake about that.

From what we’ve gathered, “she fainted while looking at my game purchase history in the hospital room and woke up lying down in this house.”

“Besides, Maika. A setting where Yamada Kyugo has a sister didn’t exist in this game! The situation is different from ours, where we’re possessing the main characters in the game! This is beyond comprehension! There’s no point in guessing! It feels right to simply believe that Riko came to visit us as a sister!”

It’s the power of a promise! That day at Koshien Stadium during our childhood, Riko kept the promise we made!

“That’s… Well, maybe we should still verify things thoroughly, right? I get that thinking might be pointless, but we should at least check if there’s any difference between what happened to us and what happened to her, for her sake too.”

“I don’t want to dig too deep. It might stir up a hornet’s nest. What if, as a result of your ‘investigations,’ we end up back in the original world? In the original world, Riko is—”

I couldn’t bear to continue.

“Maybe there’s a point there, but… wait, what? Kyugo, are you saying you’ve given up on going back to the original world?”

“What are you talking about? Of course.”

There’s no doubt left.

Living in this world, with Riko—that’s just common sense. A basic premise.

Under that basic premise, if Maika doesn’t understand the resolve I’ve solidified, then I need to explain it in words.

This isn’t irrelevant to her. It’s incredibly relevant. I’ll make it relevant.

“Maika. We’re going to Koshien.”

“Eh. Oh. Huh?”

“We’re going to Koshien. In this world. With Netora Academy’s baseball team. I’ll take you there. Whatever it takes. So help me out.”

“……………………Why?”

Her usual piercing gaze returned.

“Eh… ‘Why’ is my line. You seemed all for me aiming for Koshien just a moment ago. Be happy, come on.”

“Just now, you were acting like a tragic hero, saying you had no interest in Koshien, that you hated baseball.”

“I forgot. I’m interested in Koshien. I love baseball.”

“…Huh. You recover quickly when it comes to keeping a promise with Riko.”

“Of course! Taking Riko to Koshien, that’s all I’m here for!”

—14 years ago, at the National High School Baseball Championship, which we attended as a family.

Under the clear sky, the boundless field stretched out. The determined eyes and desperate faces of the players aiming for victory, the swirling excitement—as if by divine intervention, Kaijo High School failed to make the final out. Sendai Ikuei High School displayed a miraculous comeback with an unbelievable play to secure the final out.

Enchanted by the spectacle of Koshien and the promise made with my beloved sister.

“Bringing Riko to Koshien.”

I’ve lived solely to fulfill that promise, and after losing Riko, I had no will left to live, having failed to keep my promise to her.

But now! Riko is here! I’m living with Riko! I can finally fulfill the promise I made to her!

Riko kept her promise to me. “No matter how many times I’m reborn, I’ll be your sister,” she whispered, hand in mine, as the last game ended, and we were enveloped by the sunset and the scent of summer at Koshien Stadium. I had interpreted it as an exaggerated expression of her saying she’d always love her big brother, but Riko was serious. She meant it literally.

She truly kept that important promise to me. She kept it.

She really was reborn and became my sister again!

There’s no way I can betray such an angelic sister! Just like Riko kept her promise that day, I too must fulfill that day’s promise no matter what!

I will take my sister to Koshien!

“Ah, I see. Huh, is that so? Huh… Huh. Huh. Huh.”

To my once-in-a-lifetime declaration, Maika responded with a dead-eyed and dead-toned voice.

Wavering while repeating “Huh,” she staggered toward me and plopped down beside me. It’s terrible.

“What?”

“Siscon.”

“Siscon, so what?”

“Huh, I see. Huh… Huh. Huh. Huh…”

“So, right? You feel the same, right? You want to fulfill Riko’s dream, our promise, right? So help me out.”

“What should I do…”

“Eh… Hey, come on. This isn’t the time for that. She’s your important sister too, right?”

Why is she acting so sulky? Pouting like that. Look at me.

“Riko is important to me, but… But, you know. Because it’s Kyugo… Huh, so because…”

“Hey, I’m begging you. I absolutely have to go to Koshien. You understand, right? Without your support, what am I supposed to do? I need Maika, always. Help me out, I can’t do it without you, Maika…”

I absolutely need Maika’s strength.

I’d kneel or do anything to get her cooperation!

“Huh. Huh huh huh… Huh.”

“I’m begging! I’ll lick your feet or whatever!”

“Fine, I’ll help.”

“Really? How should I lick?”

“Stop, don’t lick. No need for kneeling either. Besides, it’s no different, right? Helping you with baseball is something I’ve always done, even in the original world. It’s not a burden to me at all. Yep, just everyday stuff.”

“Maika… Thank you, Maika…”

As Maika said, she had been the manager of our baseball team in the previous world. Even before we entered high school, she was always supporting my baseball.

She says it’s not a burden, but that can’t be true. I’ve been making her sacrifice all her time for me because of my needs.

Yet Maika says this, playing with the ends of her hair as if it’s nothing, making sure not to make me feel guilty. It’s probably also a way of hiding her embarrassment.

I can’t give anything back to such a Maika. Knowing this, I won’t hold back. Maika is the best partner for me, but I am the worst (former) brother for Maika.

That’s fine. That’s all there is.

To fulfill the promise to Riko, I will use Maika to the fullest.

“You don’t need to thank me.”

The best partner says, her cheeks tinting slightly.

“Well, if Kyugo has decided, then I’ll give it my all too. First, we need to research our high school baseball and our baseball club in this world. Even though it’s a baseball game, the situation might not be exactly the same as in the original world.”

“No, this is an eroge. An NTR game. A monstrous NTR baseball game.”

“Of course, not just about baseball, we need to delve into our living situation too. How we manage our living foundations—huh? Kyugo, did you just say something weird?”

I didn’t. I didn’t say anything strange. I just conveyed the truth of the world.

Well, if it didn’t get through, I’ll say it again. Looking straight into my (former) sister’s eyes, clearly.

“This world is based on the 18+ NTR game I was playing, ‘Live Commentary! In My Senpai Baseball Club, My Older Childhood Friend Girl Manager Was… Even Though I Promised to Take Her to Koshien!’ The main character is a freshman in the baseball club, Nomo Makoto, and the main heroine is Sakura Miyakotona, the third-year baseball club manager. They are childhood friends who realize they have romantic feelings for each other, the most enjoyable relationship period. The evil senior in the baseball club, Yamada Kyugo—me—snatches the main heroine from the protagonist and impregnates her with his wicked deeds.”

“……”

Maika remains stone-faced and unflinching. Good, she’s listening attentively.

“Yamada Kyugo is a muscle-bound, libido-driven, playboy bastard whose brain is ruled by his dick. He harasses juniors with his power and sexually harasses Miyakotona. He completely dominates the weak baseball club with terror and violence. The righteous protagonist, to protect his older sister-like childhood friend, is the first man to oppose Yamada Kyugo with sound arguments. Although Yamada Kyugo retreats after being defeated in an argument, it was thought to be settled, but such a wicked man doesn’t give up on his prey that easily. Instead, his villainous desires flare up even more, disgustingly throbbing…”

“Huh.”

Maika clears her throat once.

“That’s not how it goes… Die!”

“I won’t die.”

I won’t die, and being punched in the stomach doesn’t hurt. Well, it does hurt, but I can totally bear it.

Because I’m a power-type homewrecker. I won’t bow to violence. For a power-type homewrecker, violence is something to wield.
