Traversal Starts from the Bag Queen

"You said two or three years...then why do you know that Shiori is your older sister?"

After Kotori finished asking, Mana took out a silver pendant from his chest, and displayed the slightly faded photo inside.On it are young Shiori and Mana.

"Is this... me?"

Shiori said in surprise.But—— Kotori showed a surprised expression.

"Wait a minute. Shiori is about ten years old in the photo? She should have come to our house by then."

"Ah...that's right."

After hearing Kotori's words, Shiori scratched his head, but the older girl in this photo did look very similar to Shiori.

This is also an indisputable fact.

"Really? It's incredible."

"What's incredible... Could it be that they just look alike? Although... they do look alike."

"No, that's right. You're my sister."

"...Why are you so sure?"

Hearing Kotori's question, Mana patted her chest confidently.

"That's because we have the bond of sisters!"

"…………"

Kotori shrugged in a "talking is useless" posture, and then sighed... I don't know what to do, and my expression seems to have become a lot more relieved.

However, Mana seemed to lower her eyes with emotion, and continued:

"No, I was surprised even by myself. I was really taken aback. When I saw the photo of my sister, I felt like this, a feeling of electricity running through my whole body."

"What do you mean? It's not love at first sight. Besides, you're a girl."

"Ah, is this the so-called love at first sight - Kotori, please leave my sister to me, girls are fine!"

"Who will give it to you!"

After Kotori yelled reflexively, she immediately turned around and gave a fake cough.

"All in all, calling yourself Shiori's younger sister for such a flimsy reason will cause us trouble. First, Shiori is already our family. Now you want to take her away—"

"I don't have that plan."

"what?"

Kotori's eyes widened at Mana's nonchalant answer.

"The people in this family treat me as their own family, and I can't thank you enough. If my sister can live a happy life, then I will be satisfied."

After speaking, Mana crossed the table and took Kotori's hand.

"Well……"

Kotori pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"Hmph... what. It seems that you know the situation very well."

"Yes—although the memory is quite vague, but I do remember that my sister left me and went to another place. Although I feel very lonely, I am more worried about my sister's life than this—so, when I have to I'm really happy when I know my sister is doing well. And he has such a lovely step-sister."

After speaking, a smile appeared on Mana's face.Kotori blushed and looked away in embarrassment.

"What... what, even if you say so—"

"Hey, of course..."

While Kotori hadn't finished speaking, Mana took the lead and said:

"It's still not as good as my own sister."

"........."

Crack!In an instant, it seemed to hear the sound of cracks in the air.

"Hey, hello, Kotori..."

Even though Shiori groaned to stop, Kotori turned a deaf ear.The cheek muscles continued to contract, and a rather stiff smile appeared on his face.

"Oh...is that so?"

"Of course. Blood is thicker than water, after all."

"However, some people say that the grace of parenting is greater than the love of blood."

Mana, who had always had a smile on her face, twitched her temples the moment Kotori finished saying those words.

Then, after a while, Mana let go of Kotori's hand and put his hands on the table.

"Hahaha... But, of course, at the end of the day, she will return to her biological sister, right? As the saying goes, three years old is a lifelong life!"

"...Woo! Huh...huh! However, even if you are a righteous sister, the relationship you get along with for a long time is actually stronger!"

"No, no, outsiders are still outsiders. The most important thing is that those who are related by blood are the real sisters. Because we have the same blood! So the standard value of our own sister index is very different!"

Mana said so in a loud voice.sister index.Vocabulary not heard before.
