“Misora.”
“You said you didn’t want to see them, Onii ! Then why do you wanna go?”
“That’s because…”
I told Misora a while ago that I didn’t want to see our parents.
Those parents.
That is true.
Those people cared more about the public than me and Misora.
It also bothered me that they didn’t trust me at all, and that they didn’t take any action after Misora’s disappearance.
I don’t care if it hurts me.
But I don’t want Misora or Amane san to be harmed.
“What is it? Onii has always tried to hide important things from me. He may have his own ideas about it, but the people he’s hiding things from are worried, you know? It’s about time you understood that.”
“I agree. I’ve only known you for a short time, but it’s not uncommon for Sora to hide important things from me.”
“Even Amane san.”
The two of them were getting close to me and I was getting impatient.
It’s true that I’ve been blurring important parts for a long time, but I never thought that Misora would know everything about it, and I also didn’t think that Amane san, who I’ve known for a short time, would know about it too.
“Well, you two siblings should talk it over. You can decide whether or not to meet your parents after that, right?”
“That’s true, but…”
“Don’t worry. Goto san is an excellent person. No matter how much they pesters him, he can easily let dismiss them.”
“If that’s the case, can I have a moment? I’d like to talk to Onii.”
“Of course.”
Apparently there was no room for me to object, and the conversation continued to move forward.
“Well, Onii, let’s go to my room for a while.”
“Okay.”
“Then go and talk it over. And don’t run away, okay?”
“I understand.”
Then I was dragged to Misora’s room.
◇
“Then? I wanna know why Onii decided to go. I won’t forgive you if you try to decieve me or dodge my question.”
“Okay.”
Misora seemed to be more angry than I had ever felt before, and she was asking me questions with a great deal of intensity.
I had to be honest with her.
I decided to tell Misora the truth.
“I didn’t wanna cause Goto san too much trouble. I said that, but essentially speaking, it wasn’t true. Of course I’m thinking about it, but it’s not my top priority.”
“What do you mean?”
“I think it’s important to avoid any harm to Amane san or Misora. I don’t know what those parents are gonna do. I’m afraid that they will do something to Misora or Amane san.”
“So Onii, you’re saying that you will try to talk to them alone?”
“Well, that’s what I’m saying.”
I was more interested in talking to them so they wouldn’t come near us again.
Of course, I couldn’t just listen to them, and I was planning on taking legal action.
“That’s not right. It’s not right that you’re the one who’s hurt the most by what happened, and you’re the one who’s trying to take care of everything ! You should rely on me more. I’m your only sister, you know?”
“Misora.”
Misora desperately appealed to me as she grabbed me.
It’s not that I don’t depend on her because I don’t want to.
I’m afraid that by relying on Misora, she will get hurt.
It’s the same reason why I can’t rely on Amane san so much.
“I don’t want Onii to get hurt. So don’t take it on yourself so much. You can count on me once in a while.”
Misora grabbed me and said so.
I thought she was absolutely right, but I was still afraid that someone else would get hurt because of me.
“I’m sorry, Misora.”
“I don’t want an apology ! So let’s talk about what we’re gonna do now, okay? If you wanna talk to our parents, I’ll go with you, and if you don’t wanna see them, I’ll ask Towa Nee san and Goto san for help.”
Misora released her grip on my hand and assured me.
I couldn’t help but feel happy about that, but at the same time, I didn’t want her to notice.
“Are you sure about that?”
“Of course ! You can count on me once in a while.”
“I’ll depend on you then.”
I felt that it would probably hurt Misora more if I didn’t rely on her.
So this time I decided to just rely on her.
However, I wanted to make sure that no harm came to Misora.
◇
“I see. I understand. I’ll tell Goto san that.”
“Thank you. I’m sorry for the trouble I caused you.”
“It’s okay. I’m glad you’re relying on me like this.”
I went with Misora to explain the situation to Amane san.
At first, I thought she might say something, but Amane san readily agreed without saying a word.
“Thank you so much !”
“It’s fine. I’m also against Sora meeting with his parents. In this case, Sora is the victim. I didn’t want him to meet his parents, who are the perpetrators.”
It seems that Amane san was also worried about me.
I’m both happy and sorry to know that people are paying attention to me.
“Then I’ll talk to Goto san. You all can wait in peace.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you very much.”
We were relieved to hear Amane san’s encouraging words.
