The Case About Two Sisters Becoming Extremely Obsessed With Me After I Saved Them - Chapter 86: Kanade Can't Stand It Anymore

Chapter 86: Kanade Can’t Stand It Anymore

Once again, I put on the pumpkin mask to help Kanade, and it seems like I was able to rescue her safely. Although the police officer had already walked away, it’s reassuring to have an acquaintance like him who can be relied upon in a way.

“Onii-san♪”

As Kanade silently gazes at me, I chuckle and pat her head, conveying that everything is alright now. 

It’s quite surreal to see a guy holding a pumpkin mask caressing the head of a beautiful girl, but well, I consider this item that gave me courage not something to be embarrassed about.

“There, there.”

As I stroke her silky black hair, Kanade smiles happily. 

Being together with Kanade like this might be a bother to her friends, so I decide to leave promptly.

“I’m glad we could meet like this, but I have some errands to attend to now. I’ll be going soon.”

“…Ah.”

Feeling sorry for Kanade, who looks crestfallen, I hurried to my friend’s house.

However, after walking a little, I hear footsteps approaching from behind, and to my surprise, it’s Kanade with sweat on her forehead.

“Hah… fuh… Onii-san!”

“Kanade?”

I can’t see her two friends anywhere. What’s going on…?

When I ask her what happened, she explains that she had parted ways with her friends earlier and if it’s okay, she wants to be with me for now.

“So, now that you’ve come here, was it for the best?”

“Yes. It seems that you sensed my desire to stay with you from my behavior, and that actually encouraged me to stay without worrying about it.”

“I see…”

Well, if that’s the case, then it’s fine, I guess.

If there’s nothing else for me to do besides quickly finishing my errands and going back, and if my dear little sister says something like that, I can’t help but nod. Of course, it’s not that I’m reluctantly agreeing—it’s because I myself want it as well too.

“In that case, let’s go together. But we have to finish the errands first.”

“Of course. If I can be by Onii-san’s side, then that’s all I want ♪”

Kanade tightly embraced my free arm against her chest.

We continued walking together, and I couldn’t help but feel a different sensation on both my arms. 

(One arm has a soft and comforting touch, while the other has a large and rigid inorganic feel… It’s so extreme that I can’t put it into words.)

Kanade, happily embracing my arm with a smile, is incredibly cute, but on the other hand, the pumpkin seems to have an irritating, taunting expression. Seriously, this face has some top-tier provocation abilities.

“That’s our destination. You’ve met him before.”

“Oh, could it be…?”

“Yes, it’s exactly him. Just wait here for a moment.”

I distanced myself from Kanade and approached the house I was heading to.

After a while, my friend in pajamas showed up, and I handed over the pumpkin mask I had been carrying.

“Thanks, Hayato. With this, everything is ready.”

“I think the usual cosplay would be fine, though.”

“It’s good to have something different once in a while.”

“I see. Well then, see you.”

“Yeah!”

After exchanging those words, I moved away from my friend’s house.

Kanade immediately clung to me as soon as I returned, embracing my arm tightly once again.

“Arisa, Aina, and even Sakuna-san, they all like it, but does Kanade also enjoy it?”

“Yes♪ When we do this, I can really feel Onii-san. Doesn’t it feel good for Onii-san too, like the sensation of my breasts?”

How should I answer that question?

If it were those girls, I would confidently nod and even playfully touch them as a joke. But when it comes to Kanade, the situation is different.

“…Well, it’s not bad, I guess.”

“Ehehe, I’m so happy♪”

Ah, she really has such an adorable smile.

If I didn’t have experience with women like this or if I didn’t have resistance to their beautiful smiles, I can easily imagine being knocked out by her smile alone.

But that doesn’t mean I’d have the courage to confess and start dating just because of a crush… 

Well, that’s how tremendous the impact of the girls is.

“So, what do you want to do? Should we go to my house like this?”

“Is that okay?”

“Yeah, for now. Arisa is at home, and Aina and Sakuna-san will come before noon.”

“I see… Um, I would love to come and visit!”

I’ll definitely have Kanade come if she’s up for it.

I made sure to inform Kanade to contact her family, and I also let Arisa know that I’ll be taking Kanade with me. Soon enough, I received a response saying she’s waiting.

She replied quickly, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at how fast she responded. It seems Kanade had a big smile on her face because she replied so quickly.

“Well then, let’s go.”

“Yes♪”

Kanade hugged my arm tightly once again.

The act of a man and a woman embracing each other’s arms is usually seen between people with a close relationship.

In that sense, Kanade and I do have a certain level of familiarity, so it’s not strange. However, to someone who doesn’t know the circumstances, this scene might seem peculiar, and indeed, it seemed that way to others, since…

“Hey, Doumoto!”

“Huh?”

“?”

As we were passing by a nearby convenience store, I heard a familiar voice from behind. When I turned around, it was indeed Itabashi, staring at me with more displeasure than usual.

“The person who ran away earlier, right?”

“Ugh…”

Yeah, it was him who ran away earlier.

I unintentionally covered my mouth and laughed, but Itabashi seemed irritated to have his painful truth brought up and to see me laughing at it.

“Don’t laugh. And that’s not the point! What the hell are you cheating on someone, you scumbag!!”

“Cheating?”

I looked at Kanade next to me, and it suddenly made sense.

Certainly, it’s not unreasonable for someone to think that way, but it’s not a pleasant feeling to be accused of it by Itabashi with such disgust.

“Well, it’s not surprising that you see it that way, but you have no right to say all these things to me. This girl is my cousin, dear to me. I won’t entertain your baseless assumptions.”

My voice came out colder than I had intended.

Itabashi seemed taken aback by my unexpected response, but… I felt something strange, a sense of unease.

(…What is it? Is there something else he’s afraid of?)

Itabashi’s gaze was directed beside me, and I slowly turned my eyes in that direction, understanding what it was.

Kanade was staring at Itabashi as if she were observing a roadside stone… It was a look that said he was not even worth engaging with, like a piece of worthless garbage.

“Onii-san, let’s go already. It’s a waste of time.”

“Ah, yeah…”

Well, it’s true that it would be a waste of time. I left the scene being pulled by Kanade.

There might be some anxiety about Itabashi spreading rumors, but it doesn’t seem like anything he says could really bother us.

“…Onii-san.”

“Yeah?”

“You said I’m dear to you, right?”

“I did.”

“…~~! How many more words that I want to hear will you give me, Onii-san?”

“Well… It’s something I wanted to say, and I always feel that way.”

“…Hah~”

Oh, Kanade tripped again at that moment.

She couldn’t move for a while, but I patiently waited until she was able to get up again.

“S-sorry…”

“It’s fine. Come on, can you walk?”

I helped Kanade up and we started walking again. As we were nearing home, Kanade suddenly stopped.

“…Onii-san, I’m sorry.”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

I was perplexed by her sudden apology. It didn’t seem like I had done anything wrong, and Kanade reassured me that it wasn’t my fault.

“No, it’s not that. It’s just… I couldn’t bear it anymore.”

“Bear what?”

“Yes.”

Kanade distanced herself from me and placed her hands together in front of her chest as she continued speaking.

“Whenever I can’t see you, I always wonder when I’ll be able to see you again. And when I finally do, I become incredibly happy, my heart warms up… I’m so happy to be by your side, and I want to touch you more and more.”

I could hear footsteps behind me, but I couldn’t divert my gaze in that direction. 

It was because I couldn’t take my eyes off Kanade.

“Onii-san… I love you. As a man, I love you.”

Upon hearing those words, I stood there stunned for a while.
