Stealing Spree

“This is how it should be… Not the other way around.”

Chisato-nee-san said before sweetly giggling. Her fingers gently combed the back of my head as she gradually pulled me further inside the blanket.

Yue slid off my body, allowing her to accomplish this. Looks like the girl provoked Chisato-nee-san on purpose. And because I didn’t even resist her pull, I was now cuddled completely by her. I could even feel her legs locking me around my waist.

Without the light coming in, I could only squint my eyes as I tried to pull my head back from being sunken in her softness. Then, I looked up and saw Chisato-nee-san's doting eyes and gleeful expression.

It’s still impossible to see what she’s currently wearing but I could fairly deduce that the fabric of her clothes was thin enough for me to feel her skin properly.

Thankfully, she’s still wearing her bra, or else, I don’t know if I can retain my sanity and prevent my perverted thoughts from taking over.

“I’m not a kid anymore, Chisato-nee-san.”

“I never said you’re a kid. But you’re still younger than me so behave. I’ve been waiting for this day for so long…”

The woman moved a hand on my cheek, caressing me intimately. The tip of her fingertips was electrocuting as though she was conveying her feelings for me through her touch.

I could sense her affection for me. It’s truly more than one would have for their favorite cousin. And yet, it’s so pure that it’s blinding.

Reuniting with her was a coincidence. That much is true. However, I can now honestly say that I’m glad to meet her again.

“I have no idea that I became this special to you. Say, aren’t I a mean kid? Even today, I tried shutting you down.”

“You’re mean but you’re also the kindest.” Chisato-nee-san pressed her thumb on my cheek and laughed. “In a place like that where everyone is moving for benefits, you remain untainted from it.”

… I was a kid. Isn't that normal? I didn't know better back then.

In any case, her sincerity wasn't false. It felt like an arrow stabbing through my chest.

She's evoking something from the depths of my memory. Like a forgotten emotion that I have yet to remember.

I don't know what that is but I feel lighter. It’s as if a knot in my heart has been resolved.

I tried my hardest to recall my experience back then. However, the memories were still filled with Akane while Chisato-nee-san remained to be someone who was just there with us.

“I know you're confused about why I'm this good to you. All I can say is… not counting my parents, among everyone in the family, I feel connected to you.”

“I apologize if you feel overwhelmed by my insistence to stay. I can't help it. You're returning tomorrow. And I cannot follow you there. Just tonight, let this older sister dote on you.”

Chisato-nee-san continued speaking to my heart and each time, I could feel the fluctuation of her emotions. She's feeling regretful, apologetic, and happy at the same time. She's too honest for her own good.

But it's because of this that I can accept her affection and feel the same way for her.

And perhaps, it's not just me. Yue, who should still be in the same bed as us, has already left. Perhaps it's her way to give us some privacy or she's worried that I might not try to hear out Chisato-nee-san if she remained close.

For sure, once we're done talking, she'll return to the room.

“I'll be in your care then, Chisato-nee-san,” I said as I put on a genuine smile.

“Great. I love this expression on you, Ruki. You finally broke your cold exterior.”

“... Now, you're using your ability to see through emotions. You're cheating.”

I shook my head and Chisato-nee-san responded with her sweet giggling.

“Why not? It's part of my repertoire. It's not cheating.”

“Yeah, right. Can you only activate that on certain occasions?”

“You noticed?”

“Well, it's impossible not to notice. Everything I've seen from you isn't acting. So, when you became embarrassed earlier or when you worried over Miho being jealous, it's a moment where you didn't rely on that ability.”

That's how it is. I've been observing her throughout this night and I can confidently say that everything she has shown us is her genuine reactions.

“Great observation. You're making this older sister proud. Do you want to work with me? We can create something better.”

“I thought you wanted to be a music director.”

“I do. But if you're with me, giving birth to a masterpiece is not impossible.”

“Chisato-nee-san, you should be careful with your words. That can easily invite misunderstanding.”

“Eh? What do you mean?”

“Not telling. You'll be embarrassed again if I do.”

“Oh… is it indecent?” Chisato-nee-san cautiously whispered as though she was afraid someone would hear her even though we were alone at the moment.

I nodded in response which brought back the pink hue on her cheeks.

“Gosh… I'll be careful from now on!” She exclaimed followed by her sweet giggling. She then tightened her embrace, pushing my head back in her valley.

As I withdrew my perverted thoughts surfacing in my head, I indulged myself in the elation that Chisato-nee-san was exuding.

And gradually, I relaxed my body and reciprocated her affection by hugging her back.

For the next five minutes, I listened to her talk about her experiences and grievances while she never slowed down in doting on me.

My responses were short and sometimes just a hum but that's enough for her. She's just sharing it with me, after all.

Shortly after, I got freed from her heavenly valley. Chisato-

nee-san then let her body slide down before snuggling to me, her face taking refuge on my chest.

Yep. She reversed our position and it became my turn to dote on her. At the same time, she most likely wanted to listen to me next.

And so, that's what I did. Although I omitted how terrible I was acting after my desire manifested, I told her about remembering my feelings for Akane and the girls that I once abandoned.

Somehow, I felt my shirt getting wet followed by Chisato-nee-

san’s sobbing.

When I lifted her head, her beautiful face became wrought with sadness, empathizing with what I've gone through.

I wiped her tears and stretched her lips, forcing a smile to surface.

“I may not forget about that past but I already promised to be better in this present and the far future. So, Chisato-nee-san, you don't have to worry.”

“I’m not worried. Hic! I'm just sad…”

“I see. Then let's not be sad anymore. I'll introduce you to everyone when the time comes.”

“I'll be good to them!”

“Mhm. Thank you for understanding me.”

“It's my duty as your older sister!”

Really, if not for her overflowing affection, I might've really thought I'd gotten myself a real older sister. But even at this moment, I could feel the same pure intimacy between us.

“Right. Then, Chisato-nee-san. You should also be careful. You're beautiful, nee-san. Don't let anyone fool you.”

“In that case, you don't have to worry. I only have my eyes on you.”

“Now, you're making me blush.”

“Am I? Let me see.”

She looked up to check on my face. However, because of the angle where my face probably appeared dim from her, Chisato-nee-san climbed up, pushing her face closer.

“It suits you, Ruki. You look more handsome this way. I cannot blame Akane and the others for falling in love with you.”

With another giggle, she pressed her thumb on my lips before going back down to my chest.

Just like this, we spent a few more minutes just talking about different things.

By the time Yue returned to the room, Chisato-nee-san had already fallen asleep cuddled in my embrace.
