After Kirito and I finished dinner, I was with my mom helping her wash the dishes.
This time. Kirito must be talking to my father.
“I’m sorry about yesterday. I didn’t eat mom’s cooking.”
I decided to talk to her as I cleaned the curry stains from my plate.
“Fufufu. It’s okay. You’re eating well, and I think it’s because of that that you’re here now.”
She smiled softly at me and said
“Besides, I was so happy when Rinne called me her ‘blood mother’.
Thank you, Rinne chan”
“I’m the one who wants to thank you. I wouldn’t be where I am today if it weren’t for you. Thank you, Mom.”
After talking like that, I finished washing the dishes, took a light shower to remove the sweat, and returned to my room.
When I put my face on the bed, I could smell Kirito’s scent.
I never thought I would sleep with him until I was in high school. I must have had a few screws loose in my head back then. But if he treats me as a ‘stranger,’ I’ll make the most of it.
While I was thinking about that
Knock-knock!
There was a knock at the door.
Was it mom? No, it’s not mom. I just saw her downstairs having a drink with my father.
Who is it?
“It’s empty,”
I say, and the door to my room opens.
“Good evening, Rinne chan”
“…… Misuzu.”
Maybe it was because of what happened the other day, but she didn’t even make eye contact with me at dinner earlier.
“What’s the matter, at this hour?”
I said, and Misuzu bowed her head.
‘I’m sorry, Rinne chan. I was wrong.”
“…. Misuzu.”
Probably about the other day. And by the looks of it. It’s decided that Kirito talked about “that thing”
Haa…… Well, I would not mind if Misuzu knows about it.
“I wonder if Kirito told you about that? My old story.”
“Yes. Yes, he did.”
“Haaa, ……, if that’s why you’re ‘feeling sorry’ for me, you’re way off base, aren’t you?”
“…… Eh?”
I say with a laugh.
“Sure, back then I was hopeless about life and wanted to die every single day. But not now!”
“…… Rinne-chan.”
“Because!!! I’ve spent twice as much time with my mom and dad and you guys as I did during the period I hated it! That stuff is a thing of the past! Right. …… I’ll listen if you insist. Misuzu…..What are you to me?”
I said this and asked Misuzu with a grin.
Misuzu looked at me for a moment, then laughed and said
“Yes, that’s right! Rinne chan is my ‘blood sister’!”
“I forgive you, Misuzu! It’s ‘older sister’s’ duty to accept her sister’s apology!”
After I said so, Misuzu said to me.
“But you know, Rinne. There is one thing I don’t agree with!”
“……W-What is it?”
It was so powerful, I flinched for a second.
“I think it’s stupid of you to marry onii chan and then divorce him so you can be my sister!”
“W-w-w-w-w…..what, idiot..?”
“Because you’re an idiot! If Onii chan marries Rinne chan, not only will you be married until death, but you’ll be married in the afterlife as well!”
I let out a little sigh at Misuzu’s words.
“……Well yeah. I don’t think there was anything wrong with Kirito. The problem was me.”
“What do you mean ……?”
“The woman who gave birth to me was a piece of shit.”
“…… yeah.”
“And I have that scum’s blood running through my veins.”
“…… so you thought your marriage wouldn’t work?”
“Yes. Maybe I would abuse the children I gave birth to. I was also afraid of marriage and childbirth because of the blood of such women in my veins.”
“…… Rinne-chan.”
“But that’s not the case now!”
“…… Eh?”
“When I think about it, it’s obvious. I may have that woman’s blood in my veins, but I’m still me. I’m not like that scum. Haa I was indeed a fool, as Misuzu said, not to have understood such a thing.”
I said that much and then continued to Misuzu.
“Well, but there’s no use in regretting the past. What’s important is what’s coming next. Now that I’ve made up with Misuzu and have a reassuring friend, I’m not going to let Kitajima Towa get the better of me.”
“…Eh, Rinne chan. What are you talking about?”
Misuzu tilts her head with a scowling expression.
…… Eh? What do you mean?
“W-we made up, right?”
“Yes. Yes, we did. We might be closer than before, right?”
Misuzu smiles at me. She really has a cute smile.
But what I want to confirm is something else!
“I-If that’s the case, then Misuzu is on my side, right?”
“Eh? No, I’m not.”
“No way!!!”
I screamed even in the middle of the night!
“Misuzu…… you are going to take Kitajima Towa’s side!!!?”
“No, I’m taking the side of Kitajima Towa-san, whom I haven’t even met yet. Rather that, ‘I’m on onii chan’s side,’ okay?
Because I live for my brother’s happiness.
If onii chan says he’s going to marry Kitajima Towa-san, I’ll support him. Of course.”
“Y-You Brocon little sister. ……”
“Ehehe, that to me, Rinne chan. That’s a compliment.”
As I did so, Misuzu walked toward me and sat down on the bed to talk.
“Well, let’s talk about the rest of this in bed. I’m going to sleep here tonight.”
“Ara, I was asleep earlier, so I’m not that sleepy yet, okay?”
“Tomorrow is a school break, so I can stay up late too, right? Let’s stay up late together for the first time in a while, Rinne chan”
“That’s fine. I’ll try to persuade you so that I can get you on my side.”
We talked and talked, and Misuzu and I stayed up late into the night.
