Chapter 3 – The First Kiss Was Already Stolen

For a few minutes, my sister was in another world.

She was the very definition of deathly pale.

Maybe her soul actually got reincarnated into another world. I guess that would make Nee-san one of those girls who likes to follow the latest trends.

“Aki-kun? What is going on? Explain.”

“I kept it from you, Nee-san, but… I got a girlfriend about two weeks ago. But, well, we just broke up—”

“Since when?”

“Uh, like I said, two weeks ago—”

“What was the date?”

“Uhm… June 2nd, I think.”

“What time?”

“Around 4:30 in the afternoon.”

“Exactly?”

“Like I’d remember that!”

This is an interrogation.

I’ve been made out to be a total criminal.

Nee-san is the type of interrogator who really gets on your nerves. If I were to lie, instead of my head flying off, my chastity would be stolen.

And I’m proud of my virginity.

“Why didn’t you tell me? I’m writing your biography, you know, Aki-kun.”

That’s the first I’m hearing of it.

“Because I knew this would happen.”

“This, meaning?”

My sister’s eyes are cold.

She really is a ruthless interrogator.

“Look, I thought you’d be sad, Nee-san. So I deliberately kept quiet, to spare you the pain…”

“Aki-kun…”

Her hold on me grew even more intense. I doubt even an anaconda could squeeze this hard. She should just go live in the Amazon rainforest or something.

“You really do think of me more than anyone else, don’t you?”

“Yeah, I guess you could say that.”

Let’s just go with that.

“So, what was the name of this… so-called… ex-girlfriend?”

“Chifuyu Hasebe. She’s in my class—”

“Oh, that bitch… I mean, the girl who sat next to you at the beginning of the year, right?”

I just felt a touch of my sister’s dark side.

“Yeah, but—wait, how do you know that?”

“I’m your Nee-san, Aki-kun. As if there’s anything I wouldn’t know.”

Right, she is my sister, after all.

“So, why did that bitch dump someone as cute, cool, kind, and precious as you, Aki-kun?”

“She said something like my love wasn’t enough, but she probably just found someone else she likes. I actually saw Chifuyu walking with some handsome guy the other day.”

“Kill her.”

“?”

“It’s unbelievable, right? To think she had the best boyfriend in the world, Aki-kun, and she was still cheating… on you. Right? I really should just kill her—”

“I don’t want you to commit a crime, Nee-san. So please, calm down.”

You shouldn’t just throw around words like ‘kill’ so easily!

Then again, knowing my sister, she might actually do it. I have to be the one to stop her.

“Aki-kun… you care that much about me…”

“Anyway, talking with you has kind of made me feel better, so how about we start thinking about din—”

I wanted to change the subject.

That was part of it, but it was also true that I felt more relaxed.

Thanks to my sister’s little farce, the breakup and my fond memories with Chifuyu were already fading from my mind.

“Aki-kun, we’re not done talking.”

“C’mon, let’s make some dinner already. I’m getting hungry.”

“I’ve already prepared it, so you don’t need to cook. Now, if you want me to let you go, you’ll answer my questions.”

She’s so good at threats.

The fact that she can play the villain so well is something I’m proud of in my sister.

But now there’s a problem.

The meals my sister makes are always Italian. Or rather, they’re almost always pasta. And I just ate at an Italian place for lunch…

Well, it’s too late to worry about that now.

“Fine, fine. So, what’s the question?”

“How far did you go with that bitch?”

“How far…? We haven’t even kissed yet.”

“You haven’t even kissed?! Does that mean that bitch’s body was just for releasing your sexual frustration—”

“…”

Your little brother is officially creeped out.

Wait, is my sister actually a skank?

“We haven’t done anything more than a kiss. And besides, have you even—”

“Of course not! I’m saving my virginity for you, Aki-kun.”

This is not the kind of graphic conversation I wanted to have.

“Anyway, I’m not that aggressive, and I was happy just going out on the town together. But apparently, that wasn’t enough for Chifuyu.”

“Not enough? She wasn’t satisfied just having the great Aki-kun by her side? I really should just—”

“—Don’t. Let’s aim for a peaceful resolution.”

“She’s the one who declared war on us! There’s no way I can let this end peacefully!”

This has apparently spiraled into a rather troublesome problem.

I’m all out of trump cards.

What can I do to quiet her down?

“Hey, Aki-kun, you still haven’t had your first kiss, right?”

“Uh, well, yeah.”

She asked with a newly serious expression. I have a really bad feeling about this.

—And just as I thought that.

“—Huh? Hey, what are you—”

“Was that maybe your first kiss? Too bad. I already stole your first kiss, Aki-kun, on that day fourteen years ago.”

My sister stole a kiss from my lips.

By the time I realized what was happening, it was too late.

Her cheeks faintly flushed, Nee-san licked her own lips as if savoring the aftertaste of the kiss.

“With this, I’ve won against Chifuyu Hasebe. I’ll let you off the hook for today.”

Before I could say anything in response, my sister left the room with a triumphant look on her face.
