I Came to a World Where the Concept of Chastity is Reversed, so I Tried to Change my Job to a Playboy, but the Interference is Intense. Please Help me. - Chapter 50: My Proud Onii-chan

Chapter 50: My Proud Onii-chan

“I’m glad… you’re safe…”

Onii-chan was panting, probably from searching for me for so long.

“Onii-chan…”

“Ahh, I’m so tired.”

Onii-chan walked towards me.

“Haa, haa, haa… Ah… I’m sorry!”

Onii-chan suddenly bowed his head to the ground in front of me.

“Eh? Why are you bowing?”

“I’ve always been paying attention to Shigure and neglecting you, even though I didn’t mean to. So, I’m really sorry!”

Onii-chan was rubbing his head on the ground.

“Onii-chan! Lift your head up!”

I hurriedly made Onii-chan lift his head.

He looked up at me with a regretful expression and then looked down again.

“I’m going to marry two of you… I should treat you equally, but I’ve been neglecting you and making you feel sad… So, that’s why…”

“……Are you going to make Shigure the first wife?”

“……? I haven’t decided yet. Whether she’s the first or second, I intend to treat you both equally.”

“No, I mean… Ah, never mind.”

“?”

“Let’s talk about this.”

I sat down in the middle of the park bench, with Onii-chan at the end, and started to explain.

“Well, the first wife has the power to manage the other wives.”

“Why?”

“Why?… Because she conveys the man’s opinions to the other wives and consolidates the wives’ opinions. Men don’t usually take the initiative, you know.”

“Hmm? And then?”

“Well… that’s how I ended up registering with the Men’s Protection Agency.”

I decided to tell Onii-chan about my past.

“So that’s why you became my little sister, huh?”

“Yeah, so… I…”

“Then why don’t you become the first wife? If you become the first wife, won’t it be fine?”

“Eh?”

“To be honest, it doesn’t matter to me whether you’re the first or second. I don’t intend to put you and Shigure in a superior or inferior position, and whether you get pregnant first or later, I will definitely cherish you and try not to make you sad… Or rather, do you think I would leave you alone just because you get pregnant first? That would be offensive to me.”

“But… Shigure…”

“Yuki! What about me?! What will happen to me?!”

“Eh? You’re still gonna be my lover though?”

“Haa!? Are you going to be in a relationship with two people at the same time?! That’s the worst!”

“Why?”

“Because… a lover is usually just one person, isn’t it?”

“That’s just in manga, right?”

“It’s strange to be able to have multiple wives but only one lover. So, if I’m going to get married, I want to truly love them first. That’s why… Umi, will you be my lover?”

“……Is it okay for me to be your lover?”

“It’s not a matter of whether it’s okay or not. I want you, Umi. I need you. You’re always by my side, brightening my mood and cheering me up just by being there. It has to be you.”

I——I——

“—-Yes… Please make me… your… lover…”

Tears naturally flowed from my eyes, and I buried my face in Onii-chan’s chest.

 —-After I calmed down, the three of us headed home together.

“Ah… Can we stop by a convenience store? I’m thirsty from running so much, and I want something to eat.”

“Sure, let’s go… Do you have your wallet with you?”

“……I forgot.”

“……I don’t have mine either.”

“I thought so. I brought mine, so I’ll pay for you.”

“Thank you, Shigure!”

“As expected of you, Shigure!”

“Is that a common perception between you and the sea…?”

“Yes!”

“Well, let’s just get it over with.”

So we went into the convenience store, chose our drinks and snacks, and when I found something familiar and nostalgic, I picked it up.

After paying at the counter and leaving the store……

“Gulp, gulp, gulp… Ahh, that hits the spot. Now then…”

Onii-chan chugged half of the bottled drink and then started eating the bread.

“You’re eating now? That’s bad manners.”

“I’m so hungry from running so much.”

……I didn’t eat much dinner today, so I’m hungry too. I think I’ll eat something too!

“Oh, Umi, you bought donuts.”

“Yeah, it reminded me of the past.”

“The past?”

“When I was still living with Mom, the only thing I looked forward to was pastries, and donuts were my favorite.”

“I see… Hey, Umi.”

“Yes?”

“Let’s go eat donuts together sometime, okay?”

“Yeah? Yeah.”

“I think we should smile when we’re eating our favorite foods.”

……What kind of expression was I making?

“So, let’s create memories together from now on so that we can smile when we eat our favorite foods!”

Saying this, Onii-chan smiled at me———

Ah, I can’t hold back my tears today……

“……Yeah… Onii-chan.”

“Yeah?”

“……I love you!”

“Yeah, I love you too!”

I took a bite of the donut, but the tears rolling down my cheeks made it taste a little salty, reminding me of the past.
