The Story of How Beautiful Yandere Girls Started Getting Closer to Me, Saying They Want to Take Care of Me - Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Sorakaze An

After school, I went straight to my part-time job, not home.

Considering my health and the fact that I had to study for the midterm exams, I had limited my working hours to three hours today.

Since I work in customer service, the level of fatigue varies quite a bit depending on the day, but after three hours…

“Today, there weren’t many customers, so it was better than usual,” I muttered to myself while heading home after finishing my shift.

When I arrived home, I unlocked the door, took off my shoes, and entered the living room. There, I saw a familiar figure with bright brown hair tied in a ponytail, reading a fashion magazine.

“I’m home,” I said.

“Ah!”

The person, Sorakaze An, turned toward me as she heard my voice, stood up, and hurried over to me.

“Welcome home, Onii-chan!”

She greeted me with a bright smile. Today, Hinase and Shirayuri-senpai had suggested that they wanted to live with me and my little sister to support my life, and the sister they were talking about was An, who was now standing in front of me.

An had become a popular actress, deserving of the title, thanks to her blessed looks and hard work, despite only having started less than a year ago.

Although she is my sister, there is no blood relation—she is what you would call a stepsister, but we don’t care about that at all and treat each other as siblings.

By the way, it may not be good for me to think like this about my sister, but objectively speaking…

An’s blessed looks are remarkable, with a cute and beautiful face, a chest that’s quite large, though smaller than Hinase’s, and an outstandingly beautiful body line, even visible through her clothes…

“Onii-chan? Is something on my body?”

An, noticing my gaze on her, tilted her head and asked.

Wondering why I was staring silently at her, I quickly stopped my thoughts, which were already quite gray, and responded.

“It’s nothing.”

“I see?”

As I awkwardly looked away, An seemed to recall something and said, “Oh, right!”

“Onii-chan, I’m happy you’re back, but why did you break the promise we made this morning?”

“Promise…?”

“This morning, when your face looked more tired than usual, I promised to let you rest today, right?”

“Ah, that promise… But I’m keeping it.”

“Keeping it? It’s already 7 p.m. You have no reason to be outside this late unless—”

An started to say something but suddenly stopped, eyes wide as she seemed to realize something, then hurriedly asked.

“Did you…get one?”

“Get one?”

She placed her hands on my shoulders and shook me gently as she said,

“A girlfriend! Did Onii-chan finally get a girlfriend?”

“Wh-What?! No, I didn’t! Let go!”

“I see, you didn’t. …I’m glad.”

After I was shaken enough to almost feel dizzy, An muttered something under her breath, and then released me.

However, she continued.

“But then, what have you been doing until this late?”

“I was working part-time. Just like you told me, I kept my hours shorter to rest my body.”

“Ah! When I said ‘rest your body,’ I meant you should take the day off from work, not just reduce the time!”

“Oh, so that’s what you meant?”

When I finally understood what she meant, An looked down and sat me down on the sofa.

Then she sat beside me and looked at me.

“I’m really worried about you, Onii-chan. If you collapse from overwork… I…”

“An?”

For the first time, I saw a dark expression on An’s face, so I called her name. She looked down and said in a low voice.

“Onii-chan, I’m not just a sister who bothers you anymore. I can support you too. I’ve grown a lot since we used to take baths together, and… if you want, I can do anything for you now.”

“Wait, An. I didn’t hear much of the second half because I was still processing the first part, but I’ve never thought of you as just a sister who bothers me.”

“B-But! When I was working as an actress, I burdened you alone, and now you’re still pushing yourself for me, right?”

“…I won’t deny that I’m pushing myself.”

“Then—!”

“But whether it’s a burden for me or not is a different matter. If I were forcing myself, then maybe it would be a problem, but I’m doing it because I want to. I want you to be able to enjoy things, have fun with your friends, and experience love.”

“Love…? Onii-chan, does that mean—?”

An seemed to start saying something but stopped, taking a moment before putting her hands together and saying brightly,

“Sorry! I made things weird, Onii-chan!”

“It’s fine. I’m the one who didn’t realize how much I was worrying you.”

I had been trying not to burden her with visible issues, but I hadn’t realized how much I was affecting her mentally. I guess I’m a bad older brother.

I can’t change things drastically right away because of my part-time job, but for An’s sake, I’ll start paying more attention to my own health.

“No, Onii-chan, you’re not at fault! But if there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know. For you, I’ll do anything.”

“Thank you, An.”

“Mm! Then, Onii-chan! Dinner’s ready, so let’s eat together!”

“Yeah.”

When I responded, An smiled brightly.

This sister of mine, one of the four big beautiful girls I know—Sorakaze An.

Earlier, she seemed a bit off, but deep down, I knew that her concern for me came from her usual kindness.

And though I don’t want to admit it, it seems I have some blind spots that I can’t recognize about myself.

An is the one who fills in those gaps for me and supports me, always being the caring and thoughtful sister I need.
