Reincarnated as the Promiscuous Protagonist in a Netori Game, Only to Find the Heroine, My Step-Sister, Already Threatened to Be a Submissive Slave~ Liberating the Slave and Planning to Leave Home, Yet Unexpectedly Becoming Loved by My Step-Sister~ - Chapter 8 - Pocket Money

Chapter 8 – Pocket Money

—Night.

“Tsumugi-kun, take this.”

While I was talking to Tsumugi in the living room, Genzo came and handed her an envelope.

“Stepfather, what’s this?”

“Pocket money.”

“Pocket money?”

Tsumugi tilted her head blankly.

“From now on I’ll give it to you every month and you can spend it as you like.”

“Y-Yes… EHH!? This is too much!”

When Tsumugi saw the contents of the envelope hse received, she let out an unusually flustered, wild voice.

“One, two, three…five, 50,000 yen…!? I can’t receive this much, Stepfather.”

“Just take it.”

“But…”

Tsumugi was bewildered by Genzo, who doesn’t talk much but never backs down.

Eventually, she looked at me as if to ask for help.

“N-Nii-san…”

“Hmm, well, you should just take it.”

“So Nii-san too…”

I beckoned her to come over and closed in on her ear.

I spoke in a whisper so that Genzo couldn’t hear.

“My dad is clumsy, so he doesn’t know how to treat a daughter.”

“I-Is that so…?”

“But he wants to do something for you, he wants to care for you. The quickest way to do that is with pocket money.”

“But this is really too much…”

“I think so too, but it’s just how my dad feels. You should take it.”

“Mmm~… O-Okay, I get it. It’s rude if I keep refusing after he said so much too.”

Tsumugi’s expression changed and she turned to Genzo, although she didn’t seem to be completely convinced.

“Thank you, stepfather. I will use it carefully.”

“Yeah, you can always tell me if it’s not enough.”

“Haha… I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine with this. But thank you…”

“Fumu.”

Genzo returned to his room with a satisfied look on his face.

When Genzo was gone, Tsumugi exhaled in relief. She then stared blankly at the large sum of money in the palm of her hand.

From the side, it was kind of a funny sight and I couldn’t help but giggle.

If you’re a high school girl with a lot of needs, you should be happy to get money as much as you can.

Well, 50,000 yen is indeed too much. I’ll casually mention it to Genzo later.

It’s better to determine the limit of what Tsumugi can receive without hesitation.

By the way, I wonder how much my allowance is…

“Nii-san, can I come in?”

It was late at night and I was sitting at my desk in my room, thinking about doing some revision for class, when there was a knock at the door.

“Go ahead.”

Tsumugi quietly opened the door and entered.

“What’s wrong?”

It was already late at night.

“Well, um…”

“…Is it about your pocket money?”

Tsumugi still had the envelope given to her by Genzo in her hand.

“Yes… I just don’t know how to spend it.”

“Spend it? Why don’t you use that for your hobby?”

“I don’t have any hobbies or anything like that.”

Then I thought for a moment to suggest saving it, but Genzo would probably want her to use it for fun…

Tsumugi has no hobbies, huh…

Looking back, there were few daily scenes in the game that made that obvious.

All I know is that she has lived her life as a “good girl” so as not to be a burden to Mizuki-san.

The result is that the school’s number one beautiful girl is well-liked by everyone.

“Is there anything you’re interested in?”

“I don’t know…”

Tsumugi shrunken apologetically.

I wonder if it was guilt towards Genzo who went to the trouble of giving her an allowance.

She looked a little childish and reminded me that she is still a young child, much younger than myself in the previous life.

I started my reincarnated life with her as my support. Now I want to help her as her older brother.

“Ah, why don’t you redecorate your room?”

“Redecorate my room?”

“The last time I was there, I thought there wasn’t much stuff in the room. I thought maybe you could use the money to buy a few things. Ah, I looked around because I had no other choice when Tsumugi fainted, sorry, I really tried not to look at your room as much as possible…”

I dug my own grave…

However, Tsumugi didn’t seem to mind much and instead expressed gratitude for that time. It makes me feel quite embarrassed. Even though Tsumugi collapsed, it was partially because of my words.

“That said, I think redecorating is a very good idea.”

“You think so?”

“Yes.”

Tsumugi swayed her flaxen hair and smiled.

“So, shall we go shopping together this weekend?”

“Heh? Together with me?”

“I don’t know what to buy when I’m alone, so…I’d be happy if Nii-san would choose for me. …Do you not want to go with me?”

As an older brother, I think I might be weak against this kind of spoiled upturned look.

“Well, I’m the one who suggested redecorating, so I don’t mind.”

I’m not busy anyway.

“Thank you, Nii-san. Let’s have fun this weekend♪”

When the conversation was finished and Tsumugi’s worries were cleared up, it was time for her to go back to her room.

“Brother, do you want to sleep with me today?”

“Eh, no, that’s no good…”

“Every time we sleep together, my trust in Nii-san will increase by one~”

That sounds very enticing.

Sleeping with Tsumugi probably has the added benefit of not having nightmares.

“If that’s the case, then let’s sleep together…”

Although it has the disadvantage of not knowing if I will be able to sleep because I get so nervous…

Especially when she hugs me, that makes it even more difficult for me… No, she’s my step sister. I can’t think of her like that!

“Good night, Nii-san.”

The warmth I felt on my back felt much closer than yesterday.
