My Enigmatic Life

Volume Two, Chapter One Point Five: An Older Brother’s Worries



*Akai's POV*

   Normally, I wouldn't be going to bed so early, but we've got an important game tomorrow, and I want to make sure I get a good rest. So, at ten minutes to nine, I switch off all the lights in my room, get nice and comfortable, and proceed to go off to sleep.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK       KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

Or so I hoped. Is there something wrong?! 

I hurriedly leap out of bed, and fly the door open. Stood there is my little sister with an impatient look on her face. 

"What's going?! Is there an emergency?", I ask haphazardly. 

"Exactly! My Daisuke-nii alarm just went off!"

"If that's the case, we'd better get Dad and Mom- Wait, what?"

"My Daisuke-nii alarm! It activated!"

I stare at her in bewilderment as she comes into my room and sits on the bed. All I can do at this point is smile wryly and close the door behind her. 

"So, there's some girl getting close with him, right?"

"Yes, and I know exactly who it is.", Akane declares, her brow furrowed. 

Good grief. If you can't tell, my dear little sister is a yandere for my close friend, Colen Daisuke. Due to her possessive nature, she's scared away any girl whose ever shown romantic interest in him by with her overwhelming pressure. Although, she did actually have to threaten one girl before, but I'd rather not talk about that.

"I'm assuming that it's Yoko-san?"

"Of course. Curse her."

My sister met her match with Yoko-san, who happens to be a yandere as well. Daisuke, my friend, you seem to attract a certain type of girl.

"Onii-chan, I am at my limit. Seeing her flirt with him on Monday already had me at the edge. But when I saw him get hit with that attack by that yankee, my powers almost activated."

Akane speaks deliberately, her eyes staring at the ceiling. It seems that she can't bring herself to look at me directly. Which is good, it probably would have hurt her feelings if she had seen the colour temporarily drain from my face. 

"D-don't worry about such things.", I admonish her, "Daisuke and Yoko-san are close, you know? What you felt was probably just them hugging or whatever."

"Whatever?! That's not something to dismiss with a simple, 'whatever'!"

She whips her head down to gaze at me incredulously, as if I had said something monumentally absurd. 

"I haven't been hugged by Daisuke-nii in forever! He hasn't held my hand or gone out with me in years! And she's getting hugs?! That's not fair! She's going to have the chance to make her move and get all lovey-dovey with him for a whole week! Why does he give her so much affection so willingly?! Where are my head-pats for when I do something well? Where's my reward?! Onii-chan, you aren't answering me! What do you think about the situation?!"

"Ahahaha.... I'm really not sure what to think...."

I can only laugh nervously at my poor little sister's tirade. Daisuke, buddy, it seems as though you're going to have your hands full for a while....
