Chapter 1: Touya

On Earth

Miyazaki, Japan*

There was a commotion going on in a certain train.

Particularly among the females.

The cause of this was clear.

A man.

A young man, with brown hair and a face akin to an idol, stood in the middle of the train while wearing a highschool uniform.

However, they weren't looking at him.

They were fixated on a corner. Or rather, what was in that corner.

On a gray plastic chair sat a man reading a book, an exceedingly handsome man with otherwordly looks, dressed in a similar school uniform with sharp tsurime eyes and his long black hair in a ponytail

This man was Touya.

Our protagonist, naturally.

<Nii-chan!>

Before anyone could react, a girl suddenly jumped into his arms.

A girl, a cute little girl, with black hair, yellow eyes, and a face similar to his, was looking up at him with a childishly cute smile.

Upon seeing this, the onlookers and passengers of the train collectively sighed in envy.

Coupled with the background of the sea which could be seen through the window, this bishoujo/ikemen sibling pair could only be described as picturesque.

Touya put down his book and gave a small smile, then gently put his hand on her cheek.

<Chii-chan, what are you doing? You can't yell in the cabin...>

He spoke softly while stroking her, and she let out a giggle of delight

<Ehehehe, but I wanted to hug Onii-chan!>

<.....>

He grinned wryly, and changed from stroking to poking her cheeks, causing her to puff up her cheeks indignantly

Of course, she was only playing and it didn't last long

She quickly returned to cheerfully smiling, and rested her head against his shoulder.

Touya gave a small laugh, and then picked his book back up with one hand while patting his imoutos head with the other.

Unnoticed by him, the words on the book twisted a little before going back to normal

And thus, the death flag was set.
