When I came home in the evening, there were no lights on outside or inside the house.
I had gone to the trouble of buying him a delicious cake as a high school entrance gift !
I bought him a souvenir even though I was tired from my part-time job !
Kingo was supposed to be on meal duty tonight !
Is he on a date with Saki chan?
Oh?
You’re leaving this kind, beautiful older sister behind !
Oh?
When he comes back, I’m going to beat him up !
Thinking this, I turned on the living room light and found Kingo lying on the sofa !
“Wow ! You startled me～! You should at least turn on the light !
What’s wrong? Are you crying?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Kingo got up saying that, and his voice was like when he was in the early grades of elementary school,
His voice was weak and feeble, like when he was bullied……
His cheeks were clearly marked by tears,
Her eyes were red from shedding too many tears.
“No, you did ! Now, tell your sister everything !”
I have to protect my precious brother !
I grabbed Kingo by the shoulders.
Kingo hesitated for a moment, then softly murmured.
“….Saki dumped me.”
No, no, no, no, it can’t be, can it?
The long awaited period was finally over, and they had just started dating,
They were so lovey-dovey this morning !
“Haa ! ,,,,You’re lying, right? You just had a little fight, didn’t you?
If you apologize properly, you can make up. You’re exaggerating……”
“I can’t do it anymore ! She said it was fate ! She fell in love with him at first sight !
That’s why she wants me to break up with her !”
Kingo interrupted me and exclaimed, and then he let out a rough, wheezing breath,
I looked down in disappointment.
“….Even though we’re in the same class, she said not to let it be known that we’ve known each other since childhood.
That’s why it’s absolutely impossible !”
I was stunned by the change from this morning.
“You’ve got to be joking……”
As I stared at Kingo’s weeping figure, my anger boiled over.
With a thud, I stomped on the floor and made a U-turn.
“Where are you going !”
“To beat her up ! Imma slap that bitch !”
“Wait !”
Kingo stood up and grabbed my arm.
“Aren’t you frustrated !
You’ve worked so hard for her up until now !
Thanks to you, that kid was able to get into high school !”
“I am ! I’m sorry, but ! ….But it’s fine !
That’s what high school relationships are for, right !”
“But !”
I couldn’t think of what to say after that.
To someone who told me that they got dumped
“Find a new love.”
I could have easily said that, but I didn’t even think of saying it to Kingo.
Saki protected Kingo when he was bullied in the lower grades of elementary school.
Kingo had been trying his best to repay her kindness.
And for a long time, he had a crush on Saki,
He was happy to finally become her lover.
That bitch !
Kingo tried to force a smile, and my heart ached for the poor guy.
“Thank you. But if you wanna hit her, let me do it.”
“…You can’t do it because you’re too soft, you know.”
“I’m sorry.”
“We’re going out for yakiniku now ! I’ll let you eat to death as punishment for disobeying your sister !
Let’s go !”
I grabbed my brother’s hand.
It had been about eight years since we had held hands. His hand was big and warm.

It was Valentine’s Day one year ago.
As usual, Saki brought me chocolate.
The orange scarf I had given her the previous Christmas suited her and she looked absurdly cute.
The chocolate was much bigger than before ! Yay !
My sister was spying on us from behind a pillar, so we took refuge in a nearby park.
Saki was looking at me happily.
“What’s wrong?”
“Yeah…..you know, I love you, Saki ! Please go out with me !”
Surprised, Saki’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth with both hands.
Such a gesture is also cute.
When I looked into Saki’s eyes, they were slightly moist.
“…Yeah. But only if you get taller than me !”
At the time, Saki was in the final stages of her growth spurt, and I was just starting,
Saki was almost 10 cm taller than me.
I was fascinated by her smiling face, and I naturally smiled too.
“I’ll pull it out right away !”
“I’ll be waiting. Hurry up !”
This girl is really cute !
“Where do you plan to go to high school?”
Saki’s school of choice was one rank lower than mine.
“After all, I’m thinking of going to the same high school as Kingo…”
“Let’s go together !”
“Then, teach me math !”
“Okay !”
…We didn’t go out, but I studied with Saki.
Especially after the summer vacation when Saki retired from club activities, we studied together several times a week.
Twice a week, we had dinner prepared by Saki’s mother,
Saki’s family and I would feast together.
On Sundays, I started playing a game of shogi with Saki’s father.
We were both lousy at it.
I drank a liter of milk and ate a lot of meat every day.
Then, on Valentine’s Day this year.
As usual, Saki went home and changed her clothes before coming to my house.
After she had dressed herself properly, she came to my house.
At that time, we had almost caught up in height.
“I love you, Kingo.”
Saki said shyly and gave me a handmade chocolate.
“Yes !”
I was so loudly happy because it was just the two of us, inside the house.
“If I pass the entrance exam, let’s go on lots of dates.”
I said yes and I agreed many times.
And then we got into the same high school, and we became lovers…
And yet.
Haa～
I had a good dream. Good-bye !
