When I, a streamer with some more than 10 registered subscribers, announced my retirement with a face-reveal; as all my viewers were the Madonnas of the school, I ended up losing my current place at school all in all. - 25_ Ren’ai game

25_ Ren’ai game

“Excuse my intrusion, Onii-chan!”

Akane came into my room dressed in her regular clothes, than her school uniform she had been wearing earlier.

She seems awfully excited.

Was she really looking forward to playing the love game with me that much?

To be honest, my nervousness outweighs my enjoyment in every way, but part of me, as an Anii, I can’t let my little sister witness under any cost.

Even though I’m a shy introvert, I at least want to look cool in front of my little sister, please understand.

Pulling out a cushion from the closet, I suggested that Akane use it.

“Thanks, Onii-chan. Then, let’s play Ren’ai (love) game right away.”

I still don’t quite get the gist of what this Ren’ai (love) game is, I wonder if I’ll be able to play it well?

“It’s okay, but can you for now, tell me once again as to what kind of game it is?”

According to Akane, this Ren’ai (love) game is a one-on-one game, and as the name suggests, it is about discussing about love matters between the two individuals involved in the game.

The content of the discussion apparently includes things like who they like as a given, but apart from that, what type of person they like, what is their go to age zone, when would they want to get married, not to mention anything and everything that has to do with love all in all.

And as a no-go rule, if they the opposite party is unwilling to talk about something in that love game, they can’t be forced to tell no matter what.

Well, I’ve never really thought much about my favorite types I am attracted to, and as for when I’d want to get married, the question would rather instead come to the point of whether I’d be able to get married in the first place.

Hummm, well, I guess I could start by not thinking so deeply about these matters and just take it like child’s game.

“I am fine then, I understand.”

“Then, let’s start!”

“With that, the Ren’ai (love) game began.”

“Then, as to which of us should ask the question first, let’s decide by rock-paper-scissors.”

“”With the first being rock, Rock-paper-scissors!””

I got the “scissors” while Akane got “rock”.

With that, it was mu loss,

And Akane got to ask me first.

“Yay, I got to be the first! Then, let’s ask my Onii-chan a rather aggressive question from the start itself!”

I got myself ready with a gulp.

“Onii-chan, do you have someone you presently have a crush on?”

?!

I was taken by surprise unexpecting that she would ask me that question so fast.

That’s pretty much the question that you would be asked in the end of something don’t you.

Someone I have a crush on… maybe none. Technically, I don’t think I have one right now.

Because, I used to have someone before.

Right when I started high school, there was indeed a person with whom I felt strongly that I wanted to date. However, there is no one with whom I felt strongly that I wanted to marry her.

Of course, there are times when I thought that, ‘This person is really cute’.

However, it never went to the point of developing a liking for her.

“Not at the moment… I guess?”

“? Right now, you said, big brother?”

Why are you so insistent on that part of the line?

“I did, I mean, doesn’t even Akane know?”

“…Could it be that person?”

“”Probably, it’s the same person Akane is imagining it to be.”

“Ah, so it’s that person, heh? Then I don’t have to worry about it I think.”

Nn? What does that even mean?

‘Then I don’t have to worry about it I think’ With those words, my turn came.

So it was my turn now heh.

So, something to be concerned about with Akane’s love life, heh

Oh, I got a good one to ask her. It’s got to be this question!

“Does Akane have a boyfriend at this moment?”

For someone like me, I think it’s a pretty good question actually.

“…”

Akane?”

For some reason, Akane’s face turned into a blank expression the moment she heard the question instead.

“What would you think of me if I had one, Onii-chan?”

“Umm, Ahh… Maybe I just don’t want you to be deceived by a creepy guy, I guess.”

“…”

“Akane?”

“Jea…. Won’t you be jealous or something?”

Jealous? By jealous, do you mean that jealousy?

What are you even asking, Akane?

How could an Anii be jealous of his little sister.

It’s kind of nice to have a partner in life after all. I guess.

“Somehow, I feel like Onii-chan has misunderstood something, so I’ll just clarify it to you, by ‘jealousy’ I mean that my boyfriend will be monopolizing me all the time.”

So that’s the kind of jealousy she meant.

But then, there is nothing all the more reason to be jealous.

More like, if that person can love and cherish my little sister, I will have nothing to complain about him whatsoever.

I am more to the point, of saying to him ‘Please make her happy.’

“There’s none actually. if Akane would be happy in the end, I’m all happy.”

“Ugh, those words aren’t fair, Onii-chan.”

Saying that, Akane quickly averted her gaze from me and turned her face to the opposite direction from where I stood.

Did I perhaps offend her in some way?

Though, that was not what I intended to say.

“Onii-chan, in order to make me happy, we have to change the law and legislation,”

“Eh? Legislation?

It is such a big and serious matter?

To change the laws and legislations …no matter how you think, that’s just….

“But as you can imagine, even if it is Onii-chan, you can’t change the laws and legislation, so there are other ways as well.”

O—, Oh. So that’s how it is.

“That is for you to stay single forever and ever.”

Then that’s a piece of cake. Leave it to me, Akane!

Or so I wish to say, but just why?

“But how does my being single lead to Akane’s happiness?”

“Right now I can’t clearly say the reason why. But right now, I have a feeling that a crisis that should have never intended to come is about to appear.”

A crisis?

To me? Or to Akane?

If a danger were to befall Akane, I, as her Onii-chan, have a duty to protect my little sister no matter what.

I may be called a siscon, and I won’t even deny or argue on that.

However, I don’t think I am a siscon personally.

If anything, you might say that I am a Familicon.

Just I would preferably don’t want you all to misunderstand me, it does not mean ‘family computer’, okay?

It’s an abbreviation for ‘family complex’ okay?

just kidding; (Not)!

“I don’t quite understand what is the crises, but don’t worry at all, your Onii-chan is more powerful than how he appears to be after all!”

“No, I don’t think Onii-chan could even match them. After all, the total number of our enemy is 13. And, they all are extremely formidable after all.”
