Episode 408: Brother and brother

"Aren't you sleeping with me after all?"

"Of course..."

That's what you say in a shy voice, Kanata.

Put two beds in my room, get as close as you can, it feels like we're discussing this.

"Kanata. As I said this morning, I'm sorry to bother you for a while. I didn't expect anything to fall from the top and die."

"That's normal. Well, you don't have to apologize because nothing's wrong with you."

He's a sweet brother.

"Really, you bothered your mother and your father so much, not just Kanata."

"Yeah...... Well, I'm more worried about explaining to your mothers that your brother is here as a woman, doing things like idols."

Ugh... it's poking me where it hurts.

"Let... don't you have to explain?

"If you're feeling backwards, why don't you stop?

"No, it's fun"

It's fun to get laid, I can't help it.

Kanata has been sighing "ha" before continuing the conversation.

"How did this happen?"

"First of all, Micah, you shouldn't have forced me to wear women's clothes by all means. I was the first to dress as a woman... no, they made me do it when I was 3"

"Oh well. If I hadn't disobeyed you, I'd be like this."

Hmm?

Something poisonous to say.

"If you have something to say, let's hear it."

"No, I'm glad I didn't have that hobby."

"Oh, my God, Kitchen Two Disease."

"You're right, aren't you? Women's Clothing Habits"

He's a terrible brother.

What a grace to say to your brother! I can't believe it's a women's costume habit... Huh! Well, I can't argue with you because I'm not wrong about anything.

"But Kanata, what does Sakura say about that cook two disease of yours?

"Hmm? I got an eyelid made of demonic material from this world. That's why I thought you'd accept me."

Oh, my God, this cook's sick.

It's not so unnatural because I'm in second grade now, but I developed Kitchen II disease in Kanata because I was in kindergarten.

"Oh well, good for you. Hang out with Sakura, who understands that."

"Yeah? Yeah. I didn't think the confession would be okay. 'Cause I always thought it was my one thought."

Always one thought... hey.

If you say this, you're gonna hurt me, and I'm not gonna be honest with you... but I think you're a little bit of a stalker, bro.

Really, if I think about it very calmly.

Yeah, they don't think it's from around here, and Sakura's happy with that. There's a side to it, and they just don't see it as a problem.

No matter how many times I think about it, I feel a little dangerous that I'm pinching a picture of someone I like in my poem book...

"That surprised me, saying it was both thoughts"

"My brothers are like you, aren't they?

"Sort of."

After all, me and Kanata are alike.

It's not just the face, it's the resemblance.

"So, you, Sakura, you say you usually sleep while she hugs you? What about there?

"I don't care what they say... All I can say is I'm embarrassed. I was on the move for a moment while I was asleep. Not until we dated."

Kanata escapes Sakura...!?

Sometimes that happens.

"But even if it was before we went out, wouldn't you be happy if someone you like hugged you? I was happy."

"Well, I'm glad. It's not... there's another factor more. It applies to Sister Mihana, and your brother would know that factor, wouldn't he? I like cherry blossoms, not cherry bodies."

Oh, I think I just looked at this guy.

Absolutely, I think I said something good on my own.

"Shouldn't I say I like it all there or something?

"Uh, right. Yes, I like it all."

Around accepting my words so much, I recall that I must not have looked doomed.

"So? You're getting married one of these days?

"Ma... it's still early... But I hope so someday."

"Well, you will."

"No, I don't know.... you see, there are examples like your brothers"

Kanata said so with a distant eye.

I knew I was dead... and I was wondering if the impact I had had around me was significant, and I'm sorry... but I'm glad. Complicated feelings.

... Yes, how could Micah have been without me?
