Manowa

ever, Emily couldn't concede that point.
It was about the man she loved.
There was no way she wouldn't be offended when he was spoken ill of.

And after Emily's words of protest, Kazane thought (Aah, even though he's that gross, it's amazing that he has friends who will stand up for him).
No matter how gross the other party was, they were companions who had fought together for years.
She was impressed and thought (does compassion well up in that situation?).

In the first place, the younger brother named Naoki was the type of man who liked looking at his older sister's armpits, stealing and hiding his older sister's panties, and occasionally, staring at his older sister's face while making a revolting smile.
Kazane was disgusted from the bottom of her heart when she saw Naoki sniffing her shoes when he was in middle school.
And she recoiled even more when her younger brother did a dogeza while making the excuse that he had lost to a passing fancy.

Kazane's official opinion was that there was no way a girl could fall in love with a trash man like him, and as Kazane herself said before, she seriously felt like she would take him to court if she weren't his older sister.

However, having said that, it was also true that Kazane doted on Naoki as a『younger brother』.
Every day, her younger brother's revolting parts weighed on her mind, and she sighed (if only he weren't gross…).

Honestly, having one's relative interact with them like that during puberty would normally cause antipathy to the point that murderous impulses would well up, but Kazane's heart could be called big in that respect.

In any case, there was no way such trash could be popular with women, so Kazane guessed that Emily cared about him as an adventurer companion.

「Rather, I wish Emily would become Naoki's wife.」

「Eh?」

Therefore, first of all, she said that.
Believing that even for her younger brother, nothing was impossible, considering Naoki's future, Kazane decided to approach potential partners.
Kazane believed that was the first step she could take as an older sister to return her younger brother to the path of normalcy.

Although, she had tried several times before, but never succeeded.
It seemed Yumika felt pity for me and tried hard to go out with him for a time, but it was useless…
Kazane thought.

Emily's face turned red in response to those words.
After all, those words were from the older sister of her romantic interest.
She had received words of official recognition from a relative.
There was no way she wouldn't be cheerful.

(Aah, it's so unpleasant that her face turned bright red.
Is it impossible?)

Whereas Kazane was discouraged when she saw her reaction.
She hadn't expected her to laugh scornfully.
But Kazane never gave up.
She opened her mouth to compliment her younger brother.

「Yumika also says that Naoki is gross, and I'm worried about the future, since Naoki's like that.
But he has some good points.
Right now, none come to mind, though…」

Kazane's voice gradually became quieter.
Even though he should have some good parts, she could only recall the bad parts.
She felt sad that she couldn't put the good points of her beloved brother into words.

(He loves his older sister…
no, that's no good.
That makes him seem like a Siscon)

Kazane anguished like that, and while bewildered by her state, Emily replied.

「Err, I'll think about it…
okay?」

Saying that was the best Emily could do for now.
Emily thought she still couldn't stand by Naoki's side.
Emily felt that Naoki was even stronger and indomitable than before.
So she thought that to stand beside him, she had to approve of herself more.
It was a peerlessly troublesome matter.

However, she was happy that she was a candidate.
Those were the words that came out of her wavering feelings.

And Kazane knew those words were said for politeness' sake.
Even when there was no hope, someone handling things as an adult would say harmless and inoffensive words like that to avoid direct refusal.
In other words, Kazane recognized that Emily was an adult.

「Yeah, best regards.」

「Best regards.」

And in that place was an ecstatic Emily and a depressed Kazane.
Why were there times when people failed to understand each other like this? Someone looking for an omniscient viewpoint would likely leak those words as they watched that room where two people passed by each other.

In this way, the evening before the day of the Brutuza subjugation grew late.
