Volume 13 Chapter 202-2 Nekoyama Subaru, My Brother
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
’I noticed it when I delivered the printouts a few times; I could see the name Nekoyama Toa written on it.’
I see, Onii has been worried about that all along, but Aqua-sama knew everything from the start.
As expected, Aqua-sama is amazing.
When I secretly went to the Holy Aqua Religion meeting without telling Lapis and my family, the sister persuaded me, saying, ‘You can still turn back. Get out of here before you get caught up like I did,’ so I didn’t go in, but maybe I should have joined the Holy Aqua Religion after all?
’Ah… then why…?’
’Hmm… maybe there’s a reason they don’t want to say. You know, when we first met, they were dressed as a girl, right? So I thought I’d pretend not to know until Toa-chan told me.’
Haa… even though they noticed, they stayed quiet and waited for Onii’s timing. Aqua-sama is really kind and cool, isn’t she?
Half of the staff in the audience and backstage were opening bottles of pills and downing them all at once.
The number of people taking that medicine has increased since last year, right?
I’ve seen quite a few girls at Holy Clarice taking it.
”Ugh!”
Ayana-san, who was watching the TV footage, clutched her chest and started to suffer.
I wonder if Ayana-san is okay?
After a while, she managed to handle it herself, but she should really go get some medicine instead of holding back.
”Hey, Kanon-san, just to be sure, what do you think about Useless Aqua and Toa-chan?”
It’s amazing that Kohina Yukari-san asked a question that no one else could.
All eyes focused on Kanon-san.
”I-I don’t know. I’ve never heard anything about it…”
”Hmm.”
I see, Kanon-san doesn’t know either.
But I’ve heard a little bit.
”Aqua-sama thought Onii was a girl at first, right?”
”Ah, yeah.”
At first, it was just a light feeling.
Onii looks a lot like me.
So, I wanted to know if my appearance was Aqua-sama’s type through Onii.
”Um… what if Onii said he’s actually a girl, what would you do?”
”Ehh!? A shocking truth out of nowhere… no, could it be that!?”
Aqua-sama shakes his head and carefully observes his surroundings.
Um… is something wrong?
A ‘Berry-Berry’ prank?
Oh, don’t worry.
It’s not that.
”Um, I just wanted to ask, if… if Onii was a girl, would Aqua-sama consider dating him? It was just out of curiosity…”
”Subaru-chan…”
Seeing Aqua-sama’s serious expression, I thought I had asked something terrible.
Asking such a thing out of fake curiosity is not okay.
I should apologize to Aqua-sama.
The moment I thought that, Aqua-sama opened her mouth before I could.
”Subaru-chan… do you think gender is really that important when it comes to loving someone?”
”Huh?”
I was frozen in surprise at the unexpected answer.
But, when I think about it, I’ve heard that girls do that sort of thing too, so maybe it’s not that rare for boys either?
I’ve never heard of that before, though…
”Subaru-chan, did you know there are people who love trees?”
”Eh!?”
Are there really weird people like that!?
Could it be that they do things with tree branches in inappropriate ways?
No way, that’s definitely going to hurt.
”When I heard that, I realized that not being able to love someone because of gender, age, or race is just an excuse. Just like there are many futures, the more people we can love, the more fun life can be. I mean, isn’t it the greatest happiness to have the possibility of loving everyone in this world? So I won’t limit my own potential from the start.”
That’s amazing.
To sum it all up with just “excuse,” Aqua-sama is so stoic, no matter what.
I see, for Aqua-sama, even that is a trivial issue.
”My fetishes are broader than the ocean, and this desire can pierce even the heavens!! Someday, I will become a man who can love the Earth, no, the cosmos!”
Kyaa!
Aqua-sama, you’re so cool!!
As I clapped my hands, caught up in the moment, I heard footsteps approaching from behind us.
”Aqua… I don’t know what you’re saying, but please stop filling Subaru’s head with weird ideas.”
Aqua-sama, glared at by Onii with a side-eye, whistled to deflect the attention.
Aqua-sama really is the type who can’t lie, isn’t he?
After Onii walked away from us, Aqua-sama whispered in my ear.
”Subaru-chan is so kind.”
”Huh?”
What does that mean?
I tilted my head.
”You don’t have to play dumb; you were worried about Toa, weren’t you?”
I’m sorry.
That’s not it.
The truth is, I just wanted to know through Onii if Aqua-sama liked my appearance, but I nodded anyway.
”Don’t worry, Toa and I will always be together. I won’t leave him behind. We’re always BERYL, so you can relax.”
Aqua-sama really is the coolest in the world.
He put his index finger to his lips and said, “It’s our little secret,” emphasizing it.
When I returned from my memories, it seemed like the reenactment video had just ended.
The TV screen showed Onii running.
”Onii… do your best.”
Onii wasn’t originally bad at sports, but he had been cooped up at home until a year ago.
Since starting as an idol, he’s been working on his stamina, but this is probably the first time he’s run such a long distance, and I think it must be tough for him.
As I anxiously stared at the TV monitor, someone gently held my right and left hands.
”Subaru-chan, it’s okay. Your brother will definitely reach the goal.”
”So let’s believe and wait.”
”Lapis… Miyako…”
The two peered into my face and smiled.
That’s right…
I shook my head to dispel my worries and steeled myself.
I can’t stand on stage as an idol with a gloomy face.
”Let’s believe in that and do our best too. Now, it’s our turn on stage!”
At Kukuri-chan’s words, everyone nodded.
Onii and Aqua-sama will definitely reach the goal.
We believed in it and all jumped onto the stage together.
<hr/>
Kanata-san, you’re caught up in some weird scam.
Please run away.
Also, the sister who persuaded Subaru-chan before was Claire-san, right?
I wonder if anyone remembers?
But now…
The future of a person is truly unpredictable, isn’t it?
