Understanding Little Girl Mania - Chapter 4

Something that cannot be retrieved――――――――――

――――――― life, time, your heart.

–

I had a dream about a person called “Mother.”

A fist coming down. I fall.

Hitting and kicking me, no matter how much I cry or apologize, I’m not forgiven.

How much more do they need to hurt me to be satisfied?

Blink

Weird dream.

“I don’t have a mother. I only have Onii-sama……”

Rubbing my sleepy eyes, I saw a faint girl in the corner of the room.

“You came again, huh.”

A little girl in a yukata with the same hair as me.

Only I can see her. Onii-sama cannot.

She always looks at me with sad eyes.

Without saying anything.

Doing nothing.

Just staring.

I look at the clock. It’s about time to wake Onii-sama.

While I was preparing dinner, Onii-sama came home from work.

“Welcome home, Onii-sama.”

“I’m home.”

“Dinner will be ready soon, please wait a little.”

“Ah, before that…”

Saying that, Onii-sama took a small box out of his bag.

“Today’s your 18th birthday, Satsuki. This is a present.”

“Oh, thank you so much, Onii-sama. May I open it?”

Onii-sama nodded. I untied the ribbon and opened the box, inside was a beautiful ring.

“It’s beautiful…”

“I want you to wear it on the ring finger of your left hand.”

Onii-sama said this, turning bright red.

“Eh! Onii-sama, that means…”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I chuckled softly.

“Since we’re siblings, we can’t truly get married, but—

From now on, I’ll do my best not just as your little sister, but as your wife too, Onii-sama.”

Saying that, I wrapped my arms around Onii-sama and held him tight.

Suddenly, I caught sight of a girl at the edge of my vision.

A faint figure of a small girl in a yukata.

I realized her usually sad eyes had turned into something filled with hatred.

Ah, I see. So that’s how it is.

Alright. I’ll make you understand.

Which one of us is more worthy of being Onii-sama’s beloved little sister and wife.
