Episode 59: Piercing Words

“―Sorry, I need to step out for a moment.”

It had been a few hours since we had eaten together, and as we were relaxing in Raito-kun’s room, he suddenly got up and left the room.

Probably, I think he went to take some time out.

With no one to spoil me now, I peered at the face of Kokoa-chan, who was sleeping so peacefully in his bed.

They say that a child who sleeps well grows well, so I hope this child, who sleeps so soundly, grows up healthy.

Or rather, I want her to.

Though we’re not related by blood, I spend a lot of time with her and think of her like a real sister.

―Maybe I’ll really become her sister-in-law.

“Hehe… I’d be really happy if I could become Kokoa-chan’s sister.”

For someone like me who always wanted a little sister, Kokoa-chan is nothing short of an ideal sister. I think she’s grown up to be such a good and cute girl because Raito-kun is such a wonderful big brother, but she’s so angelic and adorable that I want her to be my sister.

Kokoa-chan also calls me “neene,” her mother is kind, and Raito-kun is wonderful too―this house is very comfortable for me. I wanted to stay here forever.

However, I can’t just ask to live here together.

“―Misaki-chan, can I talk to you for a moment?”

“Mother?”

The door suddenly knocked, and Raito-kun’s mother peeked into the room. If she had something to discuss with Raito, it was bad timing, but if she called my name, it seemed she had something to discuss with me.

“What is it?”

“Could you come over here?”

I thought she was going to tell me something here, but it seems she wants to move to a different location.

I glanced at Kokoa-chan.

“It’s okay, Raito will be back soon.”

Mother seems to have a good intuition and immediately sensed why I looked at Kokoa-chan. Leaving a young child alone, even if she’s sleeping, is worrisome, but… I do think Raito-kun will be back soon.

Not wanting to leave a bad impression on Mother, I decided to comply with her request.

And then, when I went downstairs…

“Raito won’t let go of Misaki-chan, so I have to do this to talk to her alone. His possessiveness is quite troublesome.”

―Mother said as she placed tea and sweets in front of me.

It seems she intends to have a long conversation.

Raito-kun would probably notice that I’m not there soon… is this okay?

“He’s really fortunate… Misaki.”

Actually, it’s not that he wants to let me go, but he’s just keeping me in his room to make sure I don’t embarrass myself in front of his mother.

But it would be more convenient for both of us if Mother misunderstood.

―As I was thinking about that, Mother’s unbelievable words pierced me.

“Yeah, if you were his… real girlfriend.”

“…Huh?”
