While I Was Shutting in My Room for One Year, My Parent Remarried and Now I’m Living Together With Super Beautiful Stepsisters - Chapter 26-27

Chapter 26: Lovey-Dovey Time with My Big Little Sister

After finishing dinner, I returned to my room.

At the same time, Anzu went back to the room she shared with Momiji on the first floor, while Yuzuna and Momiji were happily watching TV and chatting with Nanoka-san.

Alright then… I figured I’d start a game before Yuzuna came back to the room.

If I focused on gaming, I might avoid having to listen to the sound of her freshly repaired guitar.

With that thought, I was about to launch the game when my door was suddenly knocked on with a *knock knock*.

Who’d bother knocking? Could it be Nanoka-san?

“Hm? Come in!”

“E-excuse me…”

I’d assumed it was Nanoka-san, but the one who entered was Anzu.

Her usual pink hair cascaded over her shoulders, and she was wrapped in fluffy pink pajamas that matched her hair. Her breasts, already prominent, looked even fluffier in those pajamas… Wait, what am I staring at my little sister for?!

“Anzu, what’s up? You looking for Yuzuna or something?”

“Um… not exactly.”

“Huh? Then why’re you here?”

“W-well, it’s just…!”

Anzu closed the distance between us with a desperate expression.

What’s going on?

“L-last time, you said you wanted to try Lunares, so I thought maybe you could start playing it now!”

Anzu stammered out her words.

I see.

She remembered what I’d said before and came all the way here for me.

“If we play together, the early quests might be too easy for my level, but if you start now, I can guide you from the side!”

“Uh…”

Anzu seemed to think I hadn’t even downloaded Lunares yet and was offering to teach a beginner like me. But the thing is, I’m no newbie—I’m a member of a top-tier clan.

“Is that… no good?”

Her voice trembled with nerves, and she looked up at me with teary eyes.

Anzu, who’s usually so shy, went out of her way to come here for me… I can’t just turn her down.

“Alright, got it. I’ll start Lunares now.”

“R-really?! Yay!”

Anzu’s face lit up with joy.

But on the other hand, I was racking my brain.

Starting the game on this PC right now came with a couple of problems.

First, she’d see the Lunares shortcut on my desktop.

Second, my account was tied to my existing Lunares data.

To deal with this… I’d need a little time.

“So, Big Brother, let’s get started!”

“Hang on a sec. Before I start the game, I need to tidy up my PC a bit. Could you turn around for a moment?”

“Oh…”

Anzu let out a small gasp, as if she’d realized something, and quickly turned her back to me.

“Y-yeah, of course! You’re in your teenage years, after all.”

“No, it’s not like that!”

Ugh, now it feels like she thinks I’ve got some sketchy stuff hidden on my PC!

But, well… if that misunderstanding buys me some time, I guess it’s fine.

I quickly started the PC, deleted the Lunares shortcut, and opened DNM, a Japanese gaming platform.

I usually played Lunares on the Stream platform, but that would load my existing data.

By downloading it anew from another platform, I could start with a fresh account, and she wouldn’t suspect a thing.

So, I decided to download Lunares from DNM, a major platform known for selling games and videos (including adult content) in Japan.

“Anzu, it’s all good now. The download’s started.”

“Oh, okay!”

I proudly showed her the download screen.

Problem solved. Now I just had to let Anzu guide me… even though I’m already a seasoned player.

“It’s an open-world game, so the download might take a while. Is it okay if I sit here and wait?”

“Yeah, no problem.”

With my permission, Anzu sat on the bed next to my desk.

“…”

“…”

But once the download started, I realized I didn’t have much to talk about with Anzu.

If I brought up the game, I might accidentally let something slip…

“Um, Big Brother?”

“Hm? What’s up, Anzu?”

While I was lost in thought, Anzu spoke up.

“Well… honestly, what do you think of our sisters?”

It was a simple question, but a tough one.

Chapter 27: Anzu’s True Nature ♡

The game was taking forever to download, and in the meantime, Anzu asked me what I thought of our sisters.

It’s not like I could easily answer what I thought of those two…

I furrowed my brow, trying to find the right words.

“Momiji feels like a dependable big sister, but her over-the-top ‘big sister’ act is so intense it’s almost scary… As for Yuzuna, she’s kinda prickly, but she can say ‘thank you’ and is generally a good kid, though when it comes to her guitar…”

“Fufu,” Anzu giggled softly as I shared my honest impressions of the two.

Wait, Anzu laughed…?

“Big Brother, you’re amazing. It hasn’t even been a week since we started living together, and you already understand them so well.”

“Huh? Really…? I don’t know if that’s something to be praised for.”

It’s less that I understand them and more that I’ve had no choice but to figure them out.

“So, what do you think of me, Anzu?”

“Anzu’s!?”

Another sudden question caught me off guard, and I racked my brain.

She wants me to say it to her face…?

I absolutely can’t say anything careless, and mentioning the one thing that seems the biggest among the three sisters is definitely off-limits. No way I’d touch that topic!

“Uh! Anzu, you’re… quiet, and not as headstrong as the other two, so I find you easy to talk to. You get along well with Yamada, too, and you rein in our sisters when they’re about to go off the rails.”

“What about my flaws? Don’t I have any?”

“Huh…?”

I was in the middle of listing all the good things I could think of, praising her to the skies, when Anzu cut me off with a dissatisfied look.

“I want to know my flaws! What do you think my flaws are, Big Brother?”

“W-Well…”

Anzu stood up, her large breasts bouncing up and down as she asked excitedly.

This is tricky… She wants me to point out her flaws to her face?

What am I supposed to say…?

“I want to know my flaws! I need to know! I have to!”

“C-Calm down! Why do you want to know your flaws so badly? Most people don’t want to hear that kind of thing, right?”

“W-Well…”

Anzu faltered, her face visibly guilty.

“The truth is, since Dad was never around, this is my first time spending time with a guy… Our sisters are the way they are, but I’ve been worried about whether you might dislike me…”

“Anzu…”

She’s worried about being disliked by a guy living under the same roof for the first time…?

Compared to the other two (problem sisters), Anzu is way too earnest!

But if she’s feeling that way, I need to put her at ease.

“It’s okay, Anzu. You don’t have a single flaw, and the fact that you’re worried about something like that shows how good-hearted you are. So have some confidence.”

As I spoke reassuringly, Anzu finally seemed to relax, tucking her pink hair over her face as if to hide.

“Y-You’re praising me too much… Big Brother…”

Her shy reaction was pretty cute.

“W-Well then, I’ll just keep being myself, Big Brother.”

“Yeah, looking forward to it, Anzu.”

“Yes… Oh, it looks like the game’s done downloading. Shall we play Lunares?”

And so, I felt like I’d grown a bit closer to Anzu… or so I thought.

—Ten minutes later—

“Big Brother, you’re freaking awesome at killing monsters! You can strip that monster’s tail and everything for materials, so don’t hold back—go ahead and slaughter it!”

“Uh… yeah.”

Freaking? Slaughter?

Anzu’s got this wild look in her eyes… Does her personality completely change when she plays games?

Right after I said she had no flaws, I discovered one of Anzu’s flaws.
