Chapter 5 Onii-chan, Shinde!

Onii-chan, Shinde!

(Tl: Onii-chan, die!)

“That’s a shame, Akane.”

“No, no, no… this is different!”

“No? … You’re lying. That’s enough. Get out of my room!!!”

I didn’t want to hear any more excuses.

I won’t talk to her.

“Wait, Onii-chan!”

I kicked Akane out, closed the door, and locked it.

I can’t take it. This was my limit.

This is surely the end of my life with Akane. But I have no regrets. It was for the best.

I leaned back on the bed and slowly closed my eyelids.

When I woke up, the sun had already risen outside. Well, I must have fallen asleep last night.

I looked at my phone and saw a message from Rumi and … a horrible amount of messages and incoming call history from … Akane. Hey, there seem more than 100 messages. How many have you sent?

I’ll have a look.

[Akane: I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. … Onii-chan, forgive me! Please, I beg you. …]

I don’t get it.

What is this obsession with me …?

Why not go out and have some fun with Senjo-senpai? Huh.

… My God, I’m a bit naive too.

I could’ve kicked Akane out of the house. But I couldn’t be that evil. Perhaps because I have known her for so many years, I have a strange compassion for her.

Parting is only a matter of time.

My heart already belongs to Rumi.

I want to spend more time with her.

So let’s talk to Akane just one more time. And it’ll be the last.

I went into the living room. But I was hungry and wanted something to eat. As I was about to go into the kitchen, I felt a presence. …

What’s this murderous atmosphere?

Swoosh…

“Onii-chan, die!”

… and the knife grazed my neck.

Ugh, no way. …!

That b🬀🬀ch attacked me with a knife in her hand!

“Akane… you!”

“Aha… ahaha… I love you so much, Onii-chan! Why are you dumping me!!”

“You were the one who betrayed me in the first place!”

“It can’t be helped, … I … didn’t have a relationship with Senjo-senpai because I wanted to.”

“Huh? I don’t understand what you mean. You’re so incoherent! I mean, put the knife down, it’s dangerous!”

But Akane looked at me with sickly eyes. No, no… she doesn’t seem to respond to any kind of persuasion. Is there no choice but to use violence?

No, it’s hard to fight someone with a kitchen knife.

“Senjo-senpai attacked me. …”

“Oh, did he attack you?”

“Yes, he did. He talked to me on the way home from school, and, you know, he took me to a secluded place, … threatened me, and did terrible things to me.

“If that’s true, that means he committed a crime!”

“Yes, Senjo-senpai threatened me that if I told the police he would distribute n🬀🬀ed photos of me. So I had to do as he said. … I am sorry.”

Is it true…? Is it just my misunderstanding…?

Akane was a victim.

And yet…!

I was an idiot. …?

“I’m sorry, … Akane, I’m sorry. I said … terrible things to you. I can’t complain even if you kill me.”

“I just want you to understand.”

Akane dropped the knife and hugged me gently.

That’s right, Akane would never have betrayed me. Let’s believe … once again.

Right after that, I got a call on my phone.

By the way, I hadn’t seen Rumi-san’s message.

Yes, I need to explain the situation to her and ask her to pretend we never had a … relationship.

When I looked at my phone, I saw a surprising text on it.

Rumi: Hayato-kun, don’t trust your sister!

… Huh?
