Faced with the blackened heroine, they actually stopped time

Page 486

What is it?

Is it a kind of compensation...or are you really that afraid of getting angry?

But...it's reasonable. After all, I was the one who cleaned up her carelessness.

Wiped a butt.

I am suitable to be a scavenger.

Back in the apartment, Oreki Sakura had almost finished washing up.

She held the pillow and folded the wooden string and still demanded.

"Remember to come in and sleep, otherwise I can't sleep!"

Oreki Gen thought about it and did not refuse this time. After washing up, he returned to the floor in the room.

Of course Oreki Sakura still slept in bed.

At this time, Oreki Gen asked a question.

"Sakura."

"Ok?"

"You were asleep just now...did you feel anything strange happening?"

Oreki Sakura on the bed quickly responded.

"No... What happened? Did you do something while I was sleeping?"

"No, okay, go to bed."

Oreki Gen said this and turned over without looking at Oreki Sakura's expression.

The girl sleeping in her brother's bed, under his quilt, blinked with red cheeks, and looked at the ceiling.

The scene that seemed unreal yet so real began to echo in my mind.

So is it true or false?

Did I really almost do something like that to my brother?

It was clearly a dream...why did it seem so real?

I even shamelessly went crazy on him...

Eh... so exaggerated, so obscene, but... so embarrassing...

Woo woo woo.

When will these things actually come true?!

The girl was so dreamy that she didn't even have the mood to get into her brother's bed.

Even when Oreki Gen closed his eyes, the scene kept echoing in his mind.

He was lying on his sister's head on the bed.

Then a big red X appeared.

Well, she was lying.

Chapter 48: Another Self (Additional Chapter 5!)

Oreki Sakura felt that she had not yet completely woken up from this dream.

Because she soon fell asleep again with her chaotic and complicated thoughts.

Only this time, she seemed to hear a special voice in a daze.

How should I put it... It sounded like my own voice, but it was a little cold and low. And I was talking to myself in my dream... It seemed very strange.

I feel like I'm in a fog.

I can only hear what the other party says.

"You feel it..."

Very strange words, like some hidden riddle.

Oreki Sakura couldn't see anything, there was fog all around her, and she was a little confused.

"What do you feel..."

"Your brother, and you."

Instantly, Oreki Sakura thought of a scene.

In that unreal yet somewhat realistic dream.

How she had an ambiguous conversation with Oreki Gen.

And how did he almost reach the point of no return?

Even...those thoughts are still appearing before my eyes at this moment.

It was as if she were there again.

"What...what is this?!"

"Haven't you seen it a long time ago?"

Oreki Sakura didn't know where the voice came from, but she had a strange feeling when she heard it, as if it came from her own body, as if she had spoken it herself, and it was inexplicably familiar.

"I..."

"Isn't this the scene you've always dreamed of?"

"...I don't."

"What do you need to deny? Isn't this the bond you want? You want your brother to belong to you completely, right? You're dreaming that it would be nice if your brother was yours alone, isn't it?"

Oreki Sakura's mood cooled down.

She thought about it, then said firmly.

"What I hope is that both he and I can be happy, and I hope my happiness is about him."

"What's the difference?"

The voice was still asking.

Oreki Sakura sensed that something was wrong, but she felt that she was not smart enough to accurately tell what was wrong.

But based on the question, she instinctively gave her answer.

"Of course it's different... I don't want to wrong him, and I don't know what he means. I don't want to force him."

"What do you mean by being wronged? You have to fight for your own happiness, right? Didn't you say that kindness is just a way of putting yourself at a disadvantage, while caring is like offering a knife to others to hurt you?"

"I didn't say that!"

Oreki Sakura immediately denied it.

"you said before."

"When did I say that? How do you prove it?!"

Oreki Sakura was a little angry.

“Of course I can prove it, because…” At this moment, Oreki Sakura’s eyes flickered, and she actually saw… a person appeared, a… herself? !

Exactly the same self.

She was just wearing a shrine maiden's costume, and the blood-swelling scene in the distance had disappeared.

What replaced it was the self in front of me.

Oreki Sakura opened her eyes wide in disbelief. What was going on? Was she performing magic in her dream? Why did she have such a strange dream? Why did she feel so wrong today?

"Because I am you, I can prove it."

She said so.

When she finished saying this, Oreki Sakura seemed to understand something.

Because she is herself, what she says is correct...right?

wrong.

Oreki Sakura shook her head again.

"No, you're not me."

"I am you. I am the other you hidden in your heart."

"Even so, you can't represent me."

Oreki Sakura seemed very stubborn at this moment, so stubborn that she even seemed a little surprised.

"Do you know what you are talking about? You are suppressing your true self. Everyone has their own dark side and their own selfishness. No one can completely get rid of these. If you try to do this, you will only make yourself sad and uncomfortable. Don't you understand?"

Her words were like hammer blows and bursts of thunder.

It continued to fall, as if it was going to hit the softest spot in the girl's heart.

Oreki Sakura lowered her head, as if she was unable to face her true self.

But she spoke softly.

"I know what I am doing, and I don't feel wronged."

"Don't you understand? I am you. I know whether you feel wronged or not! Do you want to keep denying my existence? Keep going on like it has always been, without hope? Accept me... You will be braver, you will be more selfish, and you will get what you really want."

Is this bewitching?

Oreki Sakura knew this wasn't the case.

She now feels more and more that this is indeed another self.

A self that I don't want to admit.

Everyone has selfish motives, she is right.

I also have my own selfish thoughts. I often wonder, if my brother had not left Baishe Township to study, if he had stayed in Baishe Township, would he really be mine when I discovered that I liked him?

If there was no Sakuraba Mizuki...if there were no those girls, would he belong to himself?

Oreki Sakura raised her head and looked at her other self honestly.

She said...

"Are you awake? It's time for breakfast. I have to go to school. I might have to order takeout for lunch."

When Oreki Sakura opened her eyes, she saw the light coming through the curtains.

What he heard was the boy's familiar gentle whisper.

She looked at Oreki Gen, the sunlight shining on his short black hair, full of youthfulness. His face was like the male protagonist who walked out of a comic book, youthful, gentle and delicate.

Her eyes fluctuated slightly, and at the first moment she seemed to have some impulse to say something.

But Oreki Gen gave him a questioning look.

"what happened?"

Oreki Sakura shook her head.

"It's okay... maybe I haven't woken up yet."

"Well, remember to put on some clothes, it's cold in the morning."

"Know it."

A familiar smile appeared on the girl's face. Oreki Gen took a look at her and said nothing. He just walked out of the room silently.

Looking at the things on the table, he frowned slightly.

Why does it feel wrong?

When Oreki Sakura had packed up, washed up, and sat at the dining table, Oreki Gen sat opposite his sister.

"Did you have a good rest last night?"
