Chapter 127: My Precious Little Brother

I was being shaken gently.

I wanted to sleep a little longer, but…

…ra…kura…

Sorry, I’m tired. Let me sleep a bit more…

Sa…ra…saku…

…I said I’m tired, didn’t I…?

I opened my eyes slightly.

My little brother, who had been looking worried, now had a delighted expression on his face.

“Sakura! Sakura! Are you okay? Are you conscious?”

“Yuki-kun… I’m sorry, but can you let Onee-chan sleep a little longer?”

“Hahh… you seem fine. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to sleep here, do you?”

“…”

“Hey! Wait a bit before you fall asleep! At least let me carry you!”

“Okay…”

I tried to get up, but—Ouch!

The sharp pain in my leg made me cry out, and I suddenly became fully awake.

“Woah! What’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?”

“Ugh… Yes, I hurt my leg… Wait, Yuki-kun!?”

“Your leg, huh… Wow, it’s really swollen. You won’t be able to walk. Here, let me carry you.”

“Huh? Yes… No! Why are you here, Yuki-kun!?”

“I came to look for you, Sakura. Ah, my back might be a little damp, but please bear with it.”

“That’s fine, but… um, where are the others?”

“It’s just me.”

“What?! You can’t go into the forest alone! It’s dangerous at night, you know?!”

“But you’re telling me that, Sakura? That’s quite the boomerang, isn’t it?”

“It’s okay because I’m your Onee-chan!”

“No, it’s not! What are you talking about with that injury? Come on, just get on my back.”

I wanted to scold Yuki-kun, but given the situation, I reluctantly let him carry me on his back.

As he lifted me, he held my thighs and stood up.

Yuki-kun’s back is so strong.

It’s a bit damp, but… to be honest, I don’t mind this smell.

As I buried my face in his neck, Yuki-kun started walking.

“By the way, how far is this place from the training camp?”

“Dunno?”

“Huh?”

“Well, I’ve been searching for you, Sakura, so I don’t know where we are either.”

“Then we’re both lost!”

“Haha, I guess so.”

“This isn’t funny! Where are you taking me while carrying me like this?!”

“I don’t know where we are, but I saw a hut while wandering around.”

“Really?! Then, this place might be close to the training camp!”

“Hmm, I’m not sure. I only saw the hut from a distance, so I can’t say for certain.”

“I see… I wish someone was there…”

“I don’t think anyone is there. There were no lights on either.”

“I see… Hey, what time is it now?”

“When I checked a while ago, it was past midnight.”

“Eek!”

So, it’s been four or five hours since the ghost story session…

…Could it be that Yuki-kun has been searching for me all this time?

“Have you been looking for me all this time?”

“Yeah, when Shigure and I returned, the teacher and the staff were talking about a bear. While listening to their conversation, Airi came running back. She said you had been attacked, so I panicked and came here.”

“Why… why did you come to look for me?”

“Why? Because my precious… my precious Onee-chan was in danger, and I couldn’t just leave her like that.”

“I’m a failure as an Onee-chan…”

“Huh? Why do you say that?”

“Because of me,  my precious little brother is in danger… It’s my fault.”

“It’s not your fault, Sakura.”

“But because you came to look for me, Yuki-kun ended up getting lost too…”

“Well, you got lost because you were attacked by a bear, right?”

“Yes, but… if my elder sister were here, she would have handled it better…”

“Elder sister? Do you have an older sister, Sakura?”

“Yes… Oh, I forgot to tell you. Actually—”

I proceeded to tell him about my family, my brilliant elder sisters, and my own shortcomings.

“Hmm, your family and your big sisters are amazing.”

“Yes, they are. Unlike me, my elder sisters are truly incredible.”

“You’re amazing too, Sakura.”

“I’m not amazing at all. Compared to my elder sisters, I’m just—”

“Why are you comparing yourself to your sisters?”

“Why?…”

“Is it because you think you can’t take over the Shindou family in your current state?”

“The eldest daughter will probably take over, and I, along with my second big sister, will provide support.”

“So, in your current state, you can’t provide support?”

“I don’t think that’s the case, but…”

“Then why are you comparing yourself to them?”

“Because… I tried to catch up with my perfect elder sisters, and in doing so, I realized my own shortcomings. I’m sure that if my elder sisters had encountered the bear, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“What’s the point of talking about hypotheticals? It was you and Airi who encountered the bear.”

“That’s true, but…”

“Ah, hmm… Bear, bear, bear… If Kintaro, who carried an axe, had met the bear, they would have wrestled, I suppose.”

“What’s that Kintaro?”

“Huh?”

“Do you mean the axe from the old tale of Ginkako?”

“So it’s Ginkako now…”

“Hmm?”

“Don’t mind me.”

“Kintaro is such a boyish name. I wonder what it would be like to see a boy wrestling with a bear… I’d like to see that.”

“I’ll let you see it when we get back. I’ll be the bear, and… Shigure will be my opponent.”

“So, Shigure-chan will play the role of the bear, huh? I can’t imagine anyone but you being attacked, Yuki-kun.”

“I might get a bear hug.”

“Fufufu.”

“Finally, a smile. Look, over there!”

As I looked in the direction Yuki-kun was pointing, I could indeed see a hut.
