This is not the date I wanted.

"I say... isn't your greeting a bit too radical today? Anyway, using a bamboo sword to wake someone up is too much."

"Don't worry, I'm using the back of the knife."

Mana said coldly, imitating the samurai in the noontime period drama.

"There's no difference at all, right?!"

Seeing that his sister seemed to be following in his footsteps when he was in junior high school, the boy sighed helplessly.

"Please really let me go. I walked most of the day yesterday, almost twenty kilometers, and I'm still sore all over."

"Hmph... Have you ever thought about it? After the spacequake at noon yesterday, I didn't receive any message from my elder brother, and I ran all over the city in worry. Finally, when I returned home in the morning, I found my elder brother lying on the bed and sleeping soundly - how would I feel?!"

"I……"

The young man was speechless for a moment.

Only then did he notice that Mana had dark circles under her eyes. Although she tried to look calm, the slightly trembling bamboo sword still revealed her uneasiness at the moment.

Although there are four people in the family, my parents are on long business trips overseas for work, so there are actually only me and Mana living at home. If I am really caught in the space earthquake, Mana will be the only one left.

"I'm sorry... I made you worry..."

The boy lowered his head in shame and apologized to Mana.

"Huh... Never mind... It's good that you admit your mistakes, brother."

After blowing her breath, Mana's anger gradually subsided.

"Then, can you explain to me in detail where you went yesterday? And who is the girl next to your pillow?"

"Um...well..."

Hearing Mana's words, the boy's mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes glanced at the silver-haired beautiful girl who was sleeping soundly beside the bed.

In addition, she was naked except for the boy's coat.

Yesterday, the boy found the girl in the center of the space earthquake and brought her back to the city from the disaster area.

Originally, the boy considered sending the other party to the hospital for examination, but found that the nearby hospital had been destroyed by the space earthquake.

When he returned to the city, it was already midnight. Going to the hospital in the next town would take too much time, so he had no choice but to take the girl back to his room.

As he was exhausted, he didn't confirm whether Mana was at home and just fell into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The boy was a little troubled about how to explain.

Of course, he had done nothing wrong. Out of courtesy, he immediately put his coat on the girl like a gentleman when he saw her. But after all, he had carried her on his back for more than ten kilometers, so it was inevitable that he had encountered many things along the way, including what he should and shouldn't have encountered.

Although he had a clear conscience, he still felt an indescribable excitement and guilt, which made him feel a little uncomfortable to speak out, fearing that speaking out would damage his reputation as a brother.

Looking at her brother's fussy and hesitant look, Zhenna couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

"The naked woman who shared my bed with me... I didn't hear from her last night and she didn't come home all night... My brother, who was sore all over from the intense exercise... Could it be that..."

Suddenly, Mana seemed to understand something and her expression became extremely sad.

"…It's okay. I will always be your brother's partner. Please turn yourself in and pay for your sins."

"That's totally wrong! Didn't I just say that muscle pain is caused by walking too far?!"

The boy roared to clear his name.

"Besides, even if it was a misunderstanding, it should have been 'Oh my, I didn't expect that my brother actually got a girlfriend and took the step of adulthood'!"

"It is absolutely impossible for this to happen to you, my brother! I have been your sister for a long time!"

"You really insist on it!!"

"So, is that the case?"

“…Not really.”

"So he was kidnapped, right?"

"So it's not true! Damn it... Why am I feeling so exhausted and yet unable to cry?"

After a calorie-wasting conversation with Mana, the boy let out a breath of exhaustion and confessed.

"Didn't a space earthquake happen yesterday? I found her in the center of the explosion... She seemed to be a survivor. Since the nearby hospital disappeared, I took her home temporarily."

Hearing the boy's words, Mana was stunned.

"Really? Isn't it said that once a space earthquake occurs, there will be absolutely no chance of anyone surviving within the coverage area?"

"You ask me how I know? Anyway, I did find her there."

"Hmm... Although it's a little hard to believe, I'll just believe what my brother said. So, my brother, did you go to such a dangerous place again? Mother and father would be angry if they knew."

"Uh...it doesn't matter. They won't be back for a while anyway, and I went to save people, I didn't do anything wrong."

“I don’t think that’s the problem…”

At this moment, the girl seemed to be awakened by the voices of the Chonggong siblings. After a soft moan, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Ah, ah? S-Sorry, did I disturb you?"

His heartbeat quickened noticeably. The moment his eyes met the other person's, the boy's body froze and he spoke with a stutter.

"Hmm? Why did your voice suddenly change to Onii-sama? And why did you use honorifics?"

"That's long-winded. Please be a little considerate of your brother who has been single for seventeen years."

"..."

The girl slowly got up from the bed and looked at Mana and the boy, blankly without saying a word.

"Hello, my name is Takamiya Mana. Thank you for your guidance."

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't react at all, Zhenna couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Brother, she wouldn't..."

"Well, I can't speak."

The boy nodded with some complexity.

"She was like this when I found her. It was probably due to the aftereffects of the disaster, and she seemed to have lost some of her memory. Although she could hear voices, no matter what I asked her, she seemed at a loss."

"...That's right."

Mana couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic.

"Anyway, I'm going to take her to a hospital in the next city for a checkup in a few days. Until then, I want her to stay in our house for a while."

"Yes, no problem. Lending a hand to those in need is a samurai's duty. I have no objection."

"Thank you very much..."

He heaved a sigh of relief and turned his gaze towards the girl again.

Like a chick that had just hatched, the girl looked around the room with curiosity. Her carefree and innocent behavior made the boy smile knowingly.

(and……)

His sight slowly moved down along the silver-like hair, and the boy couldn't help but stop at the other's round and plump fruit wrapped in the coat.

Just as if gravity existed on earth, my sight was bound by the gravity of the fruit.

(So ​​white... so big...)

The feeling of being poor emerged in his mind, and staring at the bottomless valley in the collar, the young man couldn't help swallowing secretly.

"Brother... where are you looking?"

"Cough cough!"

Feeling the slightly stinging gaze of Zhen, the boy quickly raised his head, coughed dryly, and said in a serious tone.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Can you lend her your clothes? It would be bad if she catches a cold."

"Hmm... Even if my elder brother says so. My clothes may not fit my size. I wonder if my mother's clothes will fit me?"

Mana scratched her cheek in annoyance.

“…Hmm, ah…”

At this moment, the girl suddenly reacted to Mana's words and shifted her gaze to Mana.

After a while, a strange scene happened.

Brilliant light dust appeared around the girl, and the light particles entangled, intertwined, and stitched together, finally turning into a sailor suit of the same style as the one Mana was wearing.

"……Um."

"what……?"

"……Eh?"

In contrast to the girl who was showing a satisfied smile, the boy and Mana were stunned by the supernatural phenomenon happening before their eyes and looked at each other in bewilderment.

It was at that moment that "Takamiya Shinshi" understood that the fictional mysteries in those stories actually existed in this world.

07 My Honey...Pfft

==============================

——Brother——Brother——It’s time to get up.

As if coming from a very far away place, a strange yet familiar voice rang in Shidou's ears.

It seemed like someone was about to wake him up.

(I’m so sleepy… stop arguing…)

——Get up——the sun is already shining on your butt——brother.

He felt someone shaking his body, but because he was very sleepy, Shidao did not open his eyes. Instead, he wrapped himself tightly in the sheets, curled up and mumbled in his sleep.

"Let me sleep for another hour... just one hour will be fine... Really..."

——Hmm? Why did you mention Mana's name? Forget it, I really can't do anything about my brother.

(Haha… I can finally go back to sleep.)

——Watch out! The ultimate move——the spinning candy girl kills with her feet!

“——Guhu!”

Thanks to Kotori's flying kick to his abdomen, Gokawa Shido regained consciousness completely.

——————————I am the dividing line of waking up————————————

"Tsk, tsk—this won't work, brother. The 'Guhu' sound has already been used. It won't feel fresh if you use the same method on him."

At the dining table in the Gokawa family's living room, Kotori, wearing a white headband, waved her fingers and said with a look of regret.

"I didn't scream for fun. Can't you use a gentler method to wake me up?"

Shidou touched his abdomen and complained.

"I was just trying to wake my brother up, but he stayed in bed so long that I had no choice but to resort to this last resort."

Kotori answered as a matter of course. Shidou sighed helplessly at this.

"Hmm...ha. I didn't expect to wake up from being hit in the stomach twice in a row."

"Huh? Twice? What did you say, brother?"

Kotori asked in confusion.

"Ah...nothing."

Shidou was stunned at first, then answered perfunctorily with some embarrassment.

"Here, sorry for the wait."

Just then, Liangyi Mengyue came out of the kitchen and interrupted their conversation.

"Hot milk, toast, fried eggs and bacon, and finally a vegetable salad. Is this enough for breakfast? Kotori-chan, Shidou."

"Well, thank you Sister Mengyue."

"I'm sorry, Mengyue, it's because I overslept."
