Chapter 193: The Battlefield Between My Little Sister and the Female Voice Actor Living with Me

I had no idea what Teacher Hiratsuka was thinking.

In the middle of class, she just stood there with her arms crossed, grinning while watching this bizarre conversation between two pervs, never once trying to stop it.

Seriously, what kind of irresponsible teacher does that?!

Most of the other students seemed to have forgotten it was class time, too.

Anyway—

Himekoji had definitely forgotten!

……

“Eh?! You don’t want to?!”

His little sister suddenly shouted, staggering backward dramatically as if shocked. Clomp, clomp, clomp!

“Onii-chan has to be lying! You’re definitely joking, right?! It’s the First Night! The First Night! We promised it seven whole years ago!”

Himekoji felt a massive headache coming on.

Promised… seven years ago…

That… Are you sure you aren’t confused?

“Promise? I don’t remember anything like that! And, how can you act so surprised about something so straightforward?!”

He was the one who should be shocked!

“Onii-chan, wake up! We’re finally reunited after seven years apart!”

For heaven’s sake, the one who needed to wake up was his completely outrageous little sister!

“That has nothing to do with how long we were apart! Even if it was seven years, seventeen, or seventy, it wouldn’t matter! Before anything else, we’re siblings!”

“What are you talking about, Onii-chan? Before siblings, we’re a man and a woman!”

Even though Akiko looked elegant and proper, she spoke these ridiculous words with total seriousness.

“What are YOU talking about?! Before man and woman, we’re siblings! You’ve got it completely backward!”

Sigh…

Himekoji sighed helplessly, rubbing his temples as if at a loss.

It took him a while to recover his composure before he spoke again, his voice grave.

“Alright, look. I think we need to sort out this messed-up situation properly. First off, you and I are siblings!”

“Yes! We were apart for so long, but finally met again! From today, we’ll live together, share our lives, as the most precious siblings we are!”

Akiko scrunched her cute little nose, her eyes sparkling, face full of anticipation.

“So! How could siblings like us possibly do that sort of thing?!”

Seizing the moment, Himekoji slammed home his point like a crashing wave.

“What sort of thing?”

His little sister blinked excitedly, pretending not to understand.

“Y-you know…”

“I know what?”

“The First Night thing you were talking about!”

Shit! Damnit! Why was his heart suddenly pounding so hard?!

It felt… it felt like he was being teased?!

Wait!

His own little sister was teasing him?!

What kind of absurd, nonsensical madness was this?!

“Of course we can~~ No, not ‘can’ – we must! Just thinking about it makes Akiko’s heart race!”

Akiko clenched her hands into little fists together, her eyes shining with a terrifying, Chikan-like intensity.

It made Himekoji’s heart skip wildly.

Wait!

What on earth happened to his little sister in the seven years he wasn’t around?!

“Hey! Please, just cut it out! We’re brother and sister! Siblings!”

“Deep love can overcome the bonds of blood.”

Akiko said it as naturally and casually as “you eat when you’re hungry.”

But these weren’t lines on the same level at all!

“That love you’re talking about… it’s the love between siblings, right? It has to be that! Just tell me that’s the answer!”

“Love isn’t categorized. Love is either deep or shallow. That’s the only question about love that truly matters. So I can conclude! As long as there’s love, even if it’s my big brother, there’s no problem!”

There was every problem under the sun!

Damnit! After seven years apart, his little sister sure had gotten good with her mouth…

……

Still, it had been a long time since they’d bickered like this.

Despite the frustration in his tone, deep down, he was actually enjoying the moment.

Yeah!

From now on, he’d happily live with his little sister, bickering and playing.

They’d argue, study together, go shopping, clean the room together, play games together.

Eat together, bathe together, sleep together, get married together…

Wait, no!

Uh, sorry. Please scratch that last line!

……

As Himekoji was basking in this pleasant thought and about to keep arguing, Teacher Hiratsuka finally stepped in, cutting short the sibling drama.

“Ahem. What truly moving sibling love. But that’s enough for now. It’s time to refocus on class. You can continue this lovely sibling reunion in full on your First Night.”

Moving?!

No, Teacher Hiratsuka, your expression didn’t look moved at all!

You just had that teasing, mischievous grin on your face!

Besides—

“I told you, there won’t be any First Night! Could you please not encourage this, Teacher?!”

Ignoring Himekoji’s complaints entirely, Teacher Hiratsuka turned to Akiko.

“Akiko, do you have a preferred seat?”

……

Come to think of it, not a single student believed him either—

“What do we do? They… they’re comitting incest!”

“Should we call the police?”

“What good would the police do? We’d better contact a German orthopedic clinic quick…”

The hushed whispers around him didn’t escape Himekoji Akito’s ears.

Embarrassing.

……

“I want the seat next to Onii-chan.”

Akiko smiled with the perfect poise of a well-bred lady.

“Mm, sure.”

Teacher Hiratsuka smiled back, a “got it” look on her face.

What in the world did you understand, Teacher?! Himekoji groaned inwardly.

……

“Kano… mm, Kato-san. If you wouldn’t mind, could you switch seats?”

Teacher Hiratsuka addressed the relatively quiet girl sitting to Himekoji’s right – Kano Megumi? Katou Megumi? That person who was always there anyway.

When the female teacher spoke toward him, Himekoji actually felt surprised – “Huh? My right side has someone sitting there?!”

“Well, Sensei, I wouldn’t say I mind… but it’s a bit of a hassle… If I move to the back, I probably won’t see well. Hmm… because of my height…”

And then, she calmly refused!

Her reason was completely reasonable though…

“Is that so? I suppose that makes sense.”

“Guess we’ll trouble Kaito, then.”

So, Teacher Hiratsuka shifted her gaze to the seat behind Himekoji.

Seriously? Are you so determined to set us siblings up that you’ll stop at nothing?!

But wait!

Why are you pushing this sibling thing so hard?!

Also! Logically, after failing the seat to my right, shouldn’t you try for the left next?!

Why are you picking on the guy behind me, Kaito, already?!

“Quiet the Trickster”, you certainly don’t play by the rules! I underestimated you!

……

To Himekoji’s left, Nanami gave him an icy glare that screamed ‘Scum! Pervert!’.

“I’ll be watching you, you disgusting sis-con pervert!”

Oh no! The absolute worst scenario!

By the way—

This route… is this going to lead to the Battlefield ending?!
