Chapter 26 - Dating

Right now, I'm happy.

I'm so happy, I feel like I'm going crazy. My beloved Yukishiro-Onii-san lives next door, and I see him all the time and he looks after me.

I thought that maybe Yukishiro-Onii-san was a blessing from God to me. My miserable life is all going in the right direction with just him.

"I love you, Yukishiro-Onii-san."

I muttered in my bed.

I had a sense of fulfillment just by doing that.

Yukishiro-Onii-san is at school now.

This is a depressing time for me.

Because Yukishiro-Onii-san is so nice, perfect, and flawless, I'm worried that some strange woman will get close to him.

"I hope Yukishiro-Onii-san is okay."

I guess it would be best to lock Yukishiro-Onii-san up, after all.

But there's also a part of me that wants Yukishiro-Onii-san to be free.

But I still feel uneasy.

I have a lot of money, and to be honest, I don't want Yukishiro-Onii-san to study…

I will always provide for him and he will never have to work.

Because if he works, he'll have less time with me.

I can't allow that to happen.

"Eri, I'm going to cook dinner, but would you like to cook with me? For Yukishiro–kun's sake."

"I'll cook!!"

Mom has a day off work today.

I feel a little guilty because I have caused Mom so much trouble in the past, but she told me not to worry about it and that it was best that I was happy.

Mom and I are even closer than before.

It's all thanks to Yukishiro-Onii-san.

"Shall we make pork cutlets today?"

"Yes. It's bridal training!"

"Yes."

I would do anything for Yukishiro-Onii-san.

I'll do anything Yukishiro-Onii-san wishes.

If he wants me to die, I'll die, and if he wants me to have children, I'll do my best to conceive them.

After all, we're getting married.

"Speaking of which, Eri."

"What is it?"

"When are you going out with Yukishiro-kun?"

"Eh?"

"Someone will take Yukishiro-kun away, you know? …Me, for example."

"A-Are Yukishiro-Onii-san and I getting married already?"

"You're not even dating yet, right?"

"E-Even without officially dating, our hearts understand each other."

"Then maybe I should start dating Yukishiro-kun. Of course, ultimately, the three of us will be happy, but formally, I would become his wife, right?"

"No, you can't! I'll go out with Yukishiro-Onii-san!!"

Yukishiro-Onii-san, let's start dating right away.
