Chapter 23

Brought to you by Noir

“Good work Sorata-kun!”

I was all of a sudden being sent away for some reason. After getting suddenly woken up, I was suddenly told to get going. As I was forced to leave outside the mansion premise.

That’s so strange. I felt something terrible had happened to me, but somehow, I couldn’t remember anything at all.

Did I do something that shouldn’t have been? That was something I really wanted to ask, but seeing the air around her, it was definitely not the right time to ask something like this.

For some reason, Otona-san is smiling contently.

Neiro-san doesn’t seem to be here, though.

“Ah~h right Sorata-kun! I’ve already contacted your step-sister beforehand, okay. Of course, by that, I meant Sorata-kun’s step-sister, okay ~.”

“Ah~ un~ thanks.”

“Un~ you’re welcome.”

I felt some sort of nuance was connected with the implied stress on Onee-chan, but… Well worrying about that now probably won’t have any benefit to it!

Alright then. Let’s go home.

Nee-chan, will she be alright? Instead, come to think about it, how does Otona-san even know about the contact information of my nee-chan?

It’s a mystery. It’s inexplicable. For now, let’s just head home.

“Well then, Otona-san, later. Say my regards to Neiro-san as well.”

With that said, I walked out of the main entrance and stood in front of the house.

She would definitely be here in about 5 minutes or so. Thus, I waited patiently for my sister to arrive.

A little while later, I saw my sister walking toward me from a distance, so I started walking towards her.

As I got closer and closer to my nee-chan, I felt like the surrounding temperature was gradually dropping. Still, if that actually happens, then, by the total temperature drop just by getting closer to people, the world will become an icy place! Or something of a similar kind would happen.

So that can never actually happen in real life.

The distance between anee-chan and me was now only about 10 meters.

While I was thinking about this, I got closer and closer and closer… and

*pinch

In the next moment, I had my cheeks pinched hard.

“Eh~? Nee-chan?”

“…”

“I’m sorry, Nee-chan. I did something bad, didn’t I? I’m terribly sorry. I apologize earnestly.”

“… “

“Say something, Nee-chan, else I won’t know anything.”

“… Say Sorata, what are you doing in a place like this? Explain it to me in 10 words or less.”

“Within 10 words? That’s obviously impossible.”

I went to my friend’s house to hang out with them.

With that alone, it’s 11 words already. This is just impossible. 

“For the time being, let’s head home for now. Our discussion won’t go anywhere if we continue to stand here.”

“Un~nn”

I realized that nee-chan was probably incredibly furious with me; thus, without one more word, I decided to just head home together.

“I’ve returned.”

“Today as well, Mom and Dad aren’t at home.”

“Is that so… “

I had an incredibly uneasy feeling, so I wanted my Mother and father to stay at home. But unfortunately, that wish of mine was not allowed to be fulfilled.

“Let’s go to my room.”

“Nee-chan’s room? But why?”

“You got a problem with that?”

“Nope, nothing at all.”

“Then let’s get going quickly.”

Taken away by nee-chan into her room. I entered.

Nee-chan’s room was neatly organized and very tidy.

“Wait here a minute. I’ll go get us a drink.”

“Yes.”

After making sure she was gone, I looked around her room.

As I looked around for some time and found something kept on top of the desk.

Condoms; moreover, there were about three of them.

Nee-chan also does things like that, huh. Well, she is old enough to do that, huh. Well, let’s just pretend that I didn’t notice it at all.

I returned to where I was standing originally and waited for nee-chan to return.

After a while, Nee-chan came back.

“Sorry to keep you waiting. So, shall we have a talk?”

“Un~nn”

“Why were you in that house? And who was the one that contacted me? Why didn’t you contact me yourself? I was worried sick about you. Your friend is a boy, right, not a woman, right?”

“…”

“Why are you still so silent?… Hey, Sorata!”

“It’s a guy.”

“Why are you lying to me?”

“Eh?”

“Why are you lying to me?”

“I’m not lying to you.”

“Then why do I smell another woman’s scent coming from you, Sorata? It also smells like you’ve done it later on.”

“Sure, I lied, but how is there even a scent you can smell? And what do you even mean by ‘done it later on’?”

“So you did it later on. Say Sorata, onee-chan can no longer hold herself back.”
