Epilogue

“Date~ Date~ A date with Nii-san~”

The following Monday, Mizuha finished her after-classes cleaning duty and made her way home, walking down the hallway with light footsteps. Of course, there was only one reason why she was so delighted. The prior Sunday, she made a promise with her brother to go on a date.

They hadn’t gone on a date since summer break last year, and this time her older brother was the one who invited her, so nobody could blame the humming that came out of her mouth.

“A date with Nii-san. I can’t wait…”

Where would they go? The amusement park was fun already, but there were lots of other things Mizuha wanted to do with just the two of them.

“Maybe I should buy some new cute underwear…”

It was a date with a boy she got along well with. You couldn’t be prepared enough.

I can… get my hopes up, right?

The other person was practically a vegetarian when it came to assertiveness towards girls, but even he might be trying to do something now that he had invited her.

After all, I think that Nii-san might actually…

The atmosphere between the two had been progressing in that direction. Since you’re always together, you notice the changes in the other person, no matter how small they are. Mizuha was slowly realizing that Keiki’s feelings were directed at her.

“Ahh, I’m so looking forward to it…” A smile appeared on her lips.

It happened right when she was thinking about which underwear to get.

“—Hey, did you hear about Kiryuu?”

…Kiryuu?

Mizuha heard a name she couldn’t ignore and stopped in her tracks. There should only be one person in this school who would be referred to with that name. She hid by a wall and listened in on the conversation.

Isn’t that a girl from Nii-san’s class?

They were two girls, both of whom belonged to the popular group of girls.

“I’ve been thinking. Aren’t they a bit too close despite being siblings?” The girl with longer hair spoke up.

“Yeah, they were holding hands when they went home, right?” The girl with short hair and piercings commented.

So they saw us back then…

Mizuha had always been careful so that rumours like these wouldn’t start spreading. But she was so happy with what her brother did that she completely forgot.

“And yesterday, some peeps who went to the amusement park saw them.”

“What’d they see?”

“Kiryuu and his little sister were hugging each other at the park.”

“Woah, seriously? Yikes.”

That was when Keiki had pushed down Mizuha’s skirt. Apparently, there were other onlookers as well.

“But wait a second?” The short-haired girl spoke up. “Wasn’t there talk about them not actually being blood-related?”

“Even if that’s true, they’ve kept living together as family, right? Isn’t it a bit disgusting to suddenly look at each other in that way?”

“Yeah, right… I have a big brother myself, and even if we weren’t blood related, I wouldn’t be able to see him as a man.”

“Right? You can’t just have romantic feelings for your family.”

“He’s aiming for his little sister… Maybe that Kiryuu is actually just a pervert.”

………

Upon hearing this conversation, Mizuha’s heart froze cold. She had known that romantic feelings between siblings weren’t normal. However, she never really understood what that meant. If it was just a problem for Mizuha alone, that would have been fine. Her feelings wouldn’t change just because someone thought badly of her.

But I can’t drag Nii-san down with me…

She didn’t want her brother to suffer because of her selfish feelings. Even if he was fine with that, Mizuha herself couldn’t accept it. In the event that they started dating for real, and that fact would be made public, these rumours would not stop. Mizuha was forced to realize that bringing this love to fruition was more difficult than she previously assumed.

“Just what was I getting excited for…?”

Unable to move from that place, she just clutched her hand to her chest.

*

The following Tuesday, after school, Keiki sent Mizuha an email as he sat inside the empty classroom. He kept it a simple ‘Could you come to the classroom?’ Shortly after, he received a brief ‘Wait a bit’.

“…Alright.”

Today was the day for revenge. He couldn’t confess at the Ferris Wheel before, but today he was feeling great. He had prepared his confession and replayed it many times inside his head. Since Mizuha didn’t come to his room the previous night, he had all the time he needed to practice.

“All that’s left is for me to confess my feelings.”

With all the things that happened lately, Keiki reconfirmed his feelings. Holding hands, eating her lunch box with the heart on it, all of that delighted him beyond anything he ever felt. Even this jealousy was something new for him. It didn’t matter if the other person was his own little sister. No matter what, his feelings wouldn’t change. That was why there was no need to wait until the next date.

Starting today, they would be bound together in an official relationship, and work from there. That’s what Keiki decided.

“Sorry for the wait, Nii-san.”

The girl in question showed up to the classroom. She must have left her bag in her own classroom, as she entered the room without baggage.

“So why’d you call me here?” She asked with her usual tone.

“I need to talk with you about something.”

“What is it?” Mizuha gently tilted her head.

From here on out, Keiki would confess to that girl. When he thought about it, his legs started to quiver gently, and fear filled his head. Everybody would feel restless before confessing. However, this was something Keiki desperately wanted, so he needed to overcome that. That’s why Keiki took a step forward.

“Mizuha, I like you.”

“Eh…”

“I’ve always wanted to tell you. I can’t see you as a little sister any longer. I love you as a girl.”

Now that he said the words ‘I like you’, there was no stopping his momentum, and all the feelings he kept bottled inside of him came out.

“Ever since I found out that you were Cinderella, I started to grow more and more conscious of you, until I eventually followed you with my eyes everywhere…”

“Nii-san…”

“Just a little while ago, I was satisfied with our current relationship. Even without acting like lovers, I was happy just to be together, and I didn’t want to rush things.”

Those were his honest feelings. The distance between the two was just perfect.

“But my feelings grew stronger by the day, and I’m not satisfied with that anymore.”

Just by sitting next to Mizuha, he wanted to hug her, to kiss her. But he needed to do something before he was allowed to do that.

“I want to know even more about you, Mizuha. I want us to reach a new relationship and become even closer.”

“…”

“That’s why—” Keiki said it to his most beloved girl. “Please go out with me!”

He said everything he wanted, and all he could do was wait for the girl’s response. However, since he was aware of Mizuha’s feelings, she would definitely accept, which meant that they could start a proper relationship—

“…I can’t.”

“Eh…?”

Kiryuu Mizuha’s response left Keiki baffled.

“Even if we’re not related by blood, we’re still siblings…”

Mizuha ignored Keiki’s confusion, gently closed her eyes, and brought her harsh decision down upon him.

“—That’s why we can’t become lovers.”
