Tokyo Soft Rice King.

"But in my original experience, there shouldn't have been a sister like you."

I don't have a sister.

I don't exist in any of these worlds.

The older sister she plays is a character who doesn't exist in her memory.

And the older sister also admitted this.

"Yes... In this memory, it was always you, Mingjun, living alone. Unable to appear in reality, I could only silently watch over you... But I feel very sad because you ended up in this situation because of me. It's all my fault..."

Her head drooped lower and lower, her fingers slowly twisted together, her shoulders trembled slightly, and tears fell onto her apron, leaving several dark spots.

"I don't want to... I don't want to see any more people die because of me..."

This dream exists in my mind, where I am connected with her, so her sadness also affects me.

Beheadings and sacrifices, time and again, all they wanted was to return to this land...

In an attempt to stop the giant serpent from descending, people recklessly offered up the lives of innocent people as sacrifices.

All dead.

Not a single one was left.

Is it wrong to simply exist?

I don't want... I don't want anyone else to die because of me.

"Sister...but I survived!"

"Yes, my beloved, you are still alive! You are my most precious treasure! So I will stop anyone who tries to take you away! Even if that person is your sister!"

I was deeply moved.

If we take a slightly conspiratorial approach, maybe she's trying to lull me into a false sense of security...

But I can sense that's not the case.

She really values ​​me and treats me like her own son.

I originally thought that, in the eyes of the gods, human lifespan was probably as short as that of a mayfly, so they would not really be moved by human emotions.

But I could sense that her loneliness and her concern were genuine.

That's why she became my older sister and accompanied me through what should have been a very boring and lonely period of living alone.

This is a story of two people, one human and one god, sharing the same plight and finding solace in each other.

"Although I don't have any related memories, I understand once I've experienced it, this wasn't originally a memory that would make me feel happy."

After I became Kuroba, I carried the entire dark side of my family on my shoulders...

It's like an innocent boy being accused of all the evil in the world.

At an age when they should be carefree, they were forced to prematurely experience the power struggles and coldness of human relationships within a large family...

That's why my personality has become so mature.

"So thank you, sister... thank you for helping me make up for my past regrets."

I still prefer to call her sister.

Even if our identities are fake, the time we spent living together in this dream is real.

"Waaah, wise ruler...! It was me! Because of you, I was able to escape the hatred of the past... It was so wonderful to meet you!"

My sister finally couldn't resist and gave me the face wash again, her dedication reaching its peak.

"Whatever a wise ruler desires, I will transform myself for you, no matter what form it takes!"

"Ah, speaking of which, sister, your appearance... is indeed as I requested?"

“That’s right, I don’t want to appear before the wise ruler in the form of a snake either, it would scare you.”

"No wonder……"

She actually received the monologue she made before entering the dream.

But how should I put it... my sister's appearance is somewhat like a fusion of the best of many styles.

She looks nine-tenths like Shion, and the smile that's always on her face is exactly the same as the class president's. Her waist-length straight black hair and snow-white skin are from Shiori, and her cup size is super large, on par with Kurenai and Akiko.

There are also some indescribable details that came from the other girls, such as Moe, Makoto, Haruka... I saw them when we were taking a bath together, and they all came from my memory.

What a beautiful chimera!

Even if I were asked to describe my ideal type before, I would have found it difficult to do so accurately.

However, after having close relationships with many girls, I remembered their strengths and wonderful qualities.

Ultimately, this created the ideal image of the perfect older sister.

Most importantly, it doesn't feel out of place at all, and there's not a hint of disharmony.

But if my sister appeared in real life and everyone saw her, they would definitely discover my fetish right away... That would be too embarrassing.

Thankfully, it was just a dream.

"As long as you're satisfied, my lord, then the appearance will be finalized. As for the outfit... I can wear anything you like, okay? Of course, I can also go completely naked!"

Intertwined gazes, ripe curves, even feigned composure can succumb to desire... No!

I feel that if I continue to indulge in this, I will never be able to wake up from this dream again.

Because they wouldn't want to wake up.

"Okay, sister, I can't stay asleep forever..."

"What a pity, let's talk about it next time you dream about it."

"Hmm... I feel like I'm about to wake up too."

The scene before me is blurring; this is probably a sign that I am about to wake up.

"Then, finally, I have something to tell you, wise ruler."

"What is it?"

“Your sister, the former Hikaru Hisa, now Hikaru Ama, is not an ‘innocent victim’.”

"..."

I realized that this was not the older sister slandering the younger sister.

Rather, it is a warning.

“I know you feel sorry for your sister, that her body was taken away by the gods, but that’s not the case at all… or rather, it’s the opposite.”

"Exactly the opposite?"

"Yes, once her memories are fully synchronized and the past and present are aligned, she will become a being similar to that man."

"That man?"

"Little Lindvan".

Surprisingly... no, I should say, as expected?

After all, it was with the help of Princess Kushinada that Grandpa Kobayashi was able to achieve godhood.

Conversely, given the right conditions, she could do the same thing to herself.

"Speaking of which, he is also my benefactor. If it weren't for his suggestion, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come to your side, Your Majesty."

Grandpa Kobayashi's suggestion ended the inevitable death of the Black Feather sacrifice.

In this light, he unintentionally saved my life; how truly admirable...

"But what does 'similar to Grandpa Kobayashi' mean?"

"It means that she will become a god who has the memories of her human life and also has a physical body."

"Oh, speaking of which, she has now awakened memories from a thousand years ago..."

"This is just the beginning. From the distant past to the present, her past life will be connected with her present life, and she will eventually return as Hisahiko."

"Past lives and present lives... does that mean my sister will eventually remember everything?"

“That’s right, and she had planned all of this long before she went through the séance and awakened her divinity… using the gods to achieve her own goals.”

"Huh? So my sister planned to become a god a long time ago?"

My sister is just too amazing!

She's even more overpowered than the little sister in my light novel!

"This is the first half of her plan, and the second half is aimed at you, wise ruler..."

"So becoming a god was actually a way to target me...?"

"Yes, once she returns, she will make her move against you, Mingjun."

So what exactly does she want to do?

"I can't say... because there will be sharing."

"shared?"

"She and I are now two sides of the same coin. I belong to the side of the Wild Soul, while she is the side of the Soul. We share the constraints."

I've heard of this concept before, and I've also learned about it while playing games.

In Japanese Shintoism, the two forms that the soul of a god holds are generally considered to be in opposition.

This is probably influenced by Buddhism, with the compassionate bodhisattva with lowered brows and the majestic vajra with wrathful eyes.

Therefore, after the beliefs of Kushinada-hime and Orochi were combined, it became a situation where one side had Ara-Mitama and the other side had Harmony-Mitama.

"She's hiding her plans from you, so if I tell you now, she'll find out, and her plans might succeed."

"If the plan succeeds, will something terrible happen to me?"

"Perhaps it's not so bad for you alone... but I don't think you, Myeongjun, would like that kind of ending."

Since she's my sister, she probably doesn't want to harm me.

But it should be a situation that I absolutely hate.
