Chapter 17: Finally
Regarding the incident of my sister making a beeping sound when I entered the room.
“…”
“……”
In Miu’s room, we faced each other, sitting in seiza.
I don’t know why, but Miu and I were both sitting in this formal manner. By the way, Miu quickly changed into her pajamas, so she was no longer in her swimsuit from earlier.
However, her gaze fixed on me was intense, and her cheeks were even redder… What’s more, there was an indescribable and intoxicating feminine scent permeating the room.
“…Damn… I can’t help it, but it won’t leave my mind…”
Neither my room nor Miu’s room is usually locked, so it’s customary to enter if there’s a response.
That’s why I thought it was a little strange, but since she answered, I gathered my resolve and entered. However, Miu happened to be in the middle of that thing—when she saw me standing there dumbfounded, her eyes widened for a moment, and then she trembled and…!!
“…”
Awkward… To be honest, I felt like apologizing and running away.
But Miu stopped me from leaving, and maybe it was a strange sense of duty, but if I ran away here, the atmosphere would be even worse, and I wouldn’t know how to face her from tomorrow.
“…Miu.”
“Hyai…!”
When I called her name, Miu trembled.
It wasn’t like she was scared or anything, but it seemed like it was due to nervousness… She continued to stare at me.
Seeing the intensity in her eyes… It would be impossible not to figure it out.
“I have something I want to try. Can I give it a shot?”
“Huh? Um… Yeah…”
I approached Miu and embraced her tightly.
My body is hot to the point where I feel like I could use some air conditioning, but Miu’s body is even hotter, surprising me.
(…but it feels so calm.)
While holding Miu, I thought that—what I felt was a deep sense of calm.
More than when facing Tomita, more than when facing Ito… Anyway, I strongly felt that I didn’t want to let go of this girl.
“N-Nii-san…?”
“…Ah, yeah. So that’s how it was.”
I understood it by being like this.
I probably… No, I’m already certain—sometime along the way, it didn’t matter anymore, and I realized that I love Miu… I love her so much.
(…She’s still the little sister I should protect… But she has become a little sister that I want so badly. Ever since Miu started having a flashy appearance, she has made my heart race. While I tried to warn her about it, I couldn’t find anything wrong with it… What the hell. In other words, maybe I’ve been intrigued by Miu for a long time now.)
Once I acknowledge it in my heart even once, words overflowing with thoughts of her come to mind one after another.
Of course, her flashy appearance is attractive, but I also find her attractive from the first time I met her.
Sure, if someone were to say she’s plain, then she’s plain, but to me, I can only think of her as cute.
“Hey, Miu.”
“…Hmm?”
“To be honest… Consider me, a guy. Being kissed… and even before that, all those seductive things you’ve done… It’s impossible not to feel excited.”
“Well, um…”
“It’s like me parading in front of you wearing just a loincloth.”
“Wow, that actually sounds exciting.”
“I’m not going to do that. And if you were getting excited about it, I’d be worried.”
I lightly gave her a chop on the head.
Miu complained softly, saying it hurt, but she still had a smile on her face, seemingly happy to be embraced like this.
Since it was getting a bit hot, I opened the window.
Feeling the cool night breeze coming in, I faced her and conveyed my thoughts.
“I can’t pretend anymore… No, I won’t pretend not to notice. Hey, Miu.”
“Yeah?”
“I love you.”
“I love you too.”
…Oh, okay.
Without any hesitation, she returned the same feelings, and I was overwhelmed not by my own joy, but by her dignified demeanor.
It wasn’t the mischievous expression she usually had while looking at me. Her resolute expression was so beautiful… I was captivated.
“Nii-san. Can we talk about various things?”
“…Sure.”
“I’ll get right to it… Well, Nii-san, you know, I can’t find any reason why I wouldn’t fall in love with you. In fact, I think it’s Miu Kuon’s disqualification if I don’t fall in love with you while being together.”
“I-Is that so?”
Miu nodded.
“It’s been like that since we first met. At first, both you and I were unsure about the distance between us, but you were quick to warm up to me.”
“…Yeah.”
“I was really happy that you approached me without being pushy. And you celebrated my birthday in such a wonderful way… You told me I could rely on you. And true to your word, you helped me when I was being bullied.”
“…”
“You’ve been talking a lot about me to Mom, haven’t you? What I like, what makes me happy… Sorry about that. I actually overheard your conversations in the living room while I was going to the bathroom.”
Seriously… It’s so embarrassing, I could die.
I lowered my head, trying to bear the embarrassment. But it’s true, it must have been about a week since Miu came to our house. I asked Mom, who knows the most about her daughter, about various things. I thought she might find it annoying or even dislike me, but I believed that bridging the gap as a family was important.
“Besides, you always think about me in every other way. Nii-san, you know, when you look at me, your eyes are so gentle. Well, it changes when I’m in a sexy outfit, of course, but for me, it’s a reward, you know?”
Well, anyone would react strangely if someone wore a sexy outfit!
I mean, even though it’s not to the extent of staring at women’s cleavage in the middle of the street, when it comes to the private environment of a home, it’s a different story. If there’s a girl right next to me with a revealing cleavage bouncing around, of course, I’m going to look at it.
“And Nii-san, let me tell you one more thing.”
“…Is there something else besides this?”
“It’s a special secret. You know those manga you read? The one about the sexy sister gal? Well, I took a lot of inspiration from that. I tailored it to your preferences.”
“What!?”
Certainly, there were many moments reminiscent of that, but… huh!?
Suddenly, I was pushed down to the floor, and Miu straddled me.
“Indeed, there were aspects that matched your preferences. But I’ve come to really love myself as I am now. The fact that you get excited, and the only ones who know this side of me are the people I love… Especially you, Nii-san, knowing it always fills me with joy.”
“…Is that so?”
Miu leaned forward, pressing her body against mine.
As we gazed into each other’s eyes at such close proximity, Miu concluded:
“So, can we say we’re both in love? We could have a more romantic confession, or cry tears of joy, and there are many other things we could do… But all of that doesn’t matter. Can I think of you as my boyfriend? Please tell me right here, right now.”
“…”
Well… I can only nod in agreement to that, right?
It was a somewhat bewildering and overwhelming nod, but considering the reverse is also true, it means Miu is my girlfriend, doesn’t it?
“…Miu!”
“Kyaa♪”
For the time being… We became a couple.
That was the answer we arrived at today, and it marked a clear change for tomorrow.
“Oh, by the way, Nii-san.”
“What is it?”
“Well, you know… There’s one thing I want to do♪”
Saying that, Miu grabbed her smartphone and planted a kiss on me.
Capturing our kiss in a photo, she started editing it with her fingers.
“Um… what are you doing?”
“Just wait… Okay, how about this?”
Saying so, Miu showed me the edited photo.
My face was conveniently obscured, and Miu’s face was hidden as usual… But the fact that she was kissing could be clearly seen.
“Is it okay to post this?”
“…Ah, I see what you mean.”
Nodding in response to her question, Miu smiled satisfactorily and posted the photo.
Moreover, unlike her usual silent posts, she added a caption for today’s post.
“I got a boyfriend. So happy♡”
With a cheeky smile, Miu kissed me once again.
