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

Chapter 56: My Brother and I

How did things even end up like this!?

Just a moment ago, I was worried about what I would do if An misunderstood my relationship with Hinase.

But in the end, my fears turned out to be unfounded, which was a relief.

And yet, what’s happening right in front of me now makes that relief feel like a lie.

Still, since things have already come to this—

Originally, if Hinase hadn’t said anything, I had planned to explain everything to An myself.

With that in mind, I opened my mouth to speak before An could unbutton her second button.

“Calm down, An… Hinase is just a female friend who sits next to me in class. She was worried about me, so I invited her in. That’s all. It’s not because I wasn’t satisfied with you or anything like that.”

I hadn’t caught everything An had said earlier.

But I did hear her mention something about me not being satisfied with her.

So, I made sure to add that, on the contrary, I was truly grateful for the way she had taken care of me.

When I denied her words like that—

An opened her mouth and said:

“But if you spend so much time with someone who has such big breasts, there’s no way you’d ever be satisfied with mine, right?”

“I don’t recall ever thinking about satisfaction in terms of breasts in the first place… But that aside, isn’t yours already plenty big?”

“…Huh?”

A brother commenting on his little sister’s breast size.

Honestly, I’d rather not do this if I could help it.

But right now, what matters most is not hurting An’s dignity as a woman, so I decided to be upfront with her.

“It’s true that Hinase’s are about a size bigger, but yours are still big enough. And more than anything, the size of your chest has nothing to do with how important you are to me or how much I appreciate you taking care of me.”

To me, this was something so obvious it didn’t even need saying.

But since An had been worried about it in her own way,

I made sure to respect her feelings and answer her carefully.

And then—

“Onii-chan…!”

An blushed and called out to me with a look of happiness.

Then, in a voice so quiet I could barely hear it, she continued.

“I just… Sometimes I wonder if maybe, no matter what, I’ll never truly be seen as a woman by you, in both mind and body. It makes me anxious… Because you’re my Onii-chan, but at the same time, I’m also my Onii-chan’s me… And if I can’t satisfy you, then—”

Even after that, An kept whispering something in a soft voice.

I couldn’t make out the words, but I could feel something warm coming from her.

Surely, this was her kindness as my little sister.

Or at least, that’s what I was about to think when—

A past conversation with An resurfaced in my mind.

“As long as I have Onii-chan, that’s enough. I don’t care about other men.”

As long as she had me.

Now that I think about it, I never actually asked what she really meant by that back then.

Since I had just remembered it, now seemed like the perfect time to bring it up.

So, I opened my mouth and said:

“Hey, An. About what you said before—”

But just as I was about to ask—

“But… No, Onii-chan.”

“…Huh?”

I had no idea what she meant, and my confusion showed in my voice.

Then, An unbuttoned the second button of her shirt.

“If you say something that kind to me… I’ll just want to satisfy you even more and more.”

“Wha—!?”

As she spoke, she started unbuttoning even further.

I had wanted to ask her about what she had said before, but this was no time for that anymore.

So, to stop her, I quickly said:

“I’m starting to get hungry. I really want to eat the delicious dinner you made for me.”

Not only was this to change the situation,

but it was also my genuine feeling.

“Ah…! D-Delicious…! If Onii-chan says that, then I’ll cook for you right away! Just wait a little!”

With that, she ran off to the kitchen, looking pleased.

And somehow, I managed to avoid a bigger problem for the moment.

The next day—

Technically, if I pushed myself hard enough, I could have gone to school and attended class.

But my fever and fatigue still came in waves, making it impossible to focus properly.

Since An had also asked me to prioritize my health above all else,

I decided to stay home from school again today.

──At this moment, I still had no idea that because of my illness, two more people were about to undergo a major change in their behavior and our relationship.

Chapter 57: Shock

◆◇◆◇◆

Around noon on the same day.

Shirayuri had finished her lunch alone on the rooftop.

As she gazed at the scenery, her thoughts drifted to Sorakaze, who hadn’t appeared for the past few days due to the continuous rain.

The weather had cleared up, yet he hadn’t shown up yesterday or today either.

Her back seemed somewhat lonely.

“Ritsu-san…”

Sorakaze didn’t come to the rooftop every single day during lunch.

There were times, maybe a few days each month, when he didn’t come.

However, after the string of rainy days, this was now the second day in a row she hadn’t seen him.

For Shirayuri, ever since she had met Sorakaze, this was the first time something like this had happened.

“…Not being able to see you for this long, for the first time… It makes me realize just how much my heart has been supported by the time I spend with you.”

She placed a hand on her chest and murmured softly.

Then, as if mocking herself—

“To think that just a few days of not seeing you would shake me this much… I know I shouldn’t feel this way, and yet—”

Even so, I still want to see you, Ritsu-san.

Even so, I still want to talk to you, Ritsu-san.

The presence of Sorakaze Ritsu had grown so large in Shirayuri’s heart that she could no longer suppress these feelings.

And then—

“…I should check on him, just for a little bit.”

Finally unable to hold back any longer,

Shirayuri made up her mind and descended to the floor where the second-year classrooms were.

She headed straight for the class where Sorakaze belonged.

Shirayuri Sumire, the only daughter of the Shirayuri Group—an immense corporate conglomerate known by all.

Though students at the school often saw her from a distance,

she rarely ever came to other classrooms herself.

That was why, the moment she appeared in the second-year classroom,

the students there began whispering in astonishment.

“Hey, isn’t that…?”

“Why is someone as amazing as her in the second-year classrooms…?”

“She’s beautiful…”

The students each murmured about Shirayuri in their own way.

However, Shirayuri was used to being treated differently,

so she paid no mind to their reactions and instead searched for Sorakaze.

But—he was nowhere to be found in the classroom.

“…Is he just stepping out for a moment?”

She muttered to herself, but a strange unease filled her chest.

It wasn’t just that he had stepped out.

A feeling that something serious had happened—

That she had missed something important—

That kind of unease.

“……”

To find an answer, she decided to ask someone in the classroom.

For the first time, she turned her attention away from Sorakaze and noticed the most eye-catching presence in the room.

“That person is…”

A flashy female student with beautiful long golden curls, adorned with cute hair accessories and earrings.

It was Hinase Akari.

“If I remember correctly, she’s close enough to Ritsu-san that they went shopping for clothes together…”

If asked whether that fact bothered her at all, she wouldn’t be able to deny it.

But right now, learning about Sorakaze’s condition took priority.

With a slightly serious expression, Shirayuri approached Hinase, who was staring intently at her notebook, and spoke to her.

“Hinase Akari-san. I apologize for interrupting your studies, but may I have a moment of your time?”

“Ah, I’m not really studying, so it’s totally— Wait, huh!? Shirayuri-san!?”

Hinase’s voice rose in shock at being suddenly addressed by Shirayuri.

Shirayuri, unfazed, immediately continued speaking.

“I seem to have startled you. My apologies.”

“No, that’s totally fine! But, um, do you need something from me!?”

“Yes. I have something I’d like to ask you about Ritsu-san.”

“Ritsu-san… You mean Sorakaze?”

“That is correct.”

Hearing the unexpected name from Shirayuri’s lips,

Hinase tilted her head in confusion, her expression cycling past surprise into bewilderment.

Seeing her reaction, Shirayuri provided an explanation.

“Ritsu-san and I often have lunch together on the rooftop.”

“Lunch!? Just the two of you!?”

“Yes.”

Hinase froze upon hearing that, but Shirayuri continued without hesitation.

“Of course, it makes sense that he wouldn’t come on rainy days. But even now that the rain has cleared and the weather is sunny, I haven’t seen him since yesterday. If I’m just worrying too much, then that would be ideal, but… Did something happen to Ritsu-san?”

At her question,

Hinase gave an answer that struck Shirayuri like a bolt of lightning.

“Ah… Actually, since yesterday—Sorakaze has been sick and is staying home from school.”

“—!?”

Ritsu-san… is sick?

The thought echoed in her mind.

Little by little, but undeniably—

The light in Shirayuri’s eyes began to fade.
