Resolve. Zeal. Answer of the Heart.
A visitor who'd co to Mika's room at a ti like this, there was only one.
The interphone's LCD screen reflected Murasaki-san's suit.
Tomomi howled.
"Entire crew, first level alert! Prepare anti-trustee interception!"
In a hurry, Sayuri entered the kitchen, confird the gas' main valve and opened the window.
"I-is this fine?!"
That's counterasures for earthquake. A sigh leaked from my mouth.
"Rather, what on earth is that trustee interception preparation."
I opened the front door with the key, when I nodded to Murasaki-san's "excuse " she ca in.
Her taking us to Maumauland felt like it happened very long ti ago.
Today she didn't wear glasses.
She stared right at and calmly asked.
"Did you have any kind of change of mind?"
"Eh? ... you an?"
"Yes. I feel like the atmosphere is different."
"I've beco more aware and might have turned a bit more like an older brother."
Without moving a single eyebrow, Murasaki-san curtly replied with "Is that so".
Together with Murasaki-san, everyone returned to living room.
You're too scared! My mind wouldn't calm down to an extent where I wanted to retort like that. Still, I resolved myself.
I turned around. Standing as if to protect everyone behind , I confronted Murasaki-san.
"So, what's the business?"
Possibly, we might be being evicted from Taishido residence.
My heart pounded quickly.
Murasaki-san looked around the room and exhaled slowly.
"It seems like all little sister candidates are gathered. I scheduled to visit all individually, so it saves ti."
"What's the bussiness, Murasaki-san?"
With her usual cold look, she closed her mouth.
"If Murasaki-san won't say anything, I'll say it. I... don't need anything else. That's why, give everyone!"
Murasaki-san lowered her shoulders.
"You are unable to live your life without economic assistance. Your words stating you don't need anything, aren't realistic."
That's right. If I thought as I usually do, I would judge it impossible and stop here.
Despite being a kid I wanted to be an adult... despite being a kid, I wasn't selfish, attempted to be a good kid.
No matter how much I try, I'm still a sixteen year old kid.
The window in my heart opened.
I threw out my little pride out of the window.
What's wrong with being uncool. Being defiant and aggressive, no matter how brazen and shaless, I'll do it.
"Then give economic assistance. And, give everyone!"
Murasaki-san, whose cold expression was undisturbed, had opened her eyes wide.
"Are you saying you want all?"
I slowly made a big nod.
"I'm a selfish kid. In the first place, ain't it impossible. Everyone's my little sister you know? Choosing just one is strange! I don't know what kind of contract does Murasaki-san have with Jinya-san, but there's no way Jinya-san would tell to choose just one."
Now that I have rembered, I could affirm that.
Until now I was suspicious of the person called Taishido Jinya, but now... the of now, believed in him. If Jinya-san and I are a parent and child, we should desire the sa.
"I want to live with everyone like I did until now!!"
Murasaki-san faced downwards.
"And do you really think that'll pass?"
Her voice was terribly cold.
Not just , these words were cold and harsh to freeze the hearts of little sisters too.
If I anger Murasaki-san, I don't know what'll happen.
Still I... my heart moved forward. I cut through the fierce raging snowstorm, my heart leaning forward, step by step going forward... forward!
"I'm not as reasonable and mature as to endure it and choose just one. The six of us together. Nothing else will be considered!"
Murasaki-san raised her head and stared straight at .
I won't look away any more. No matter how coldly I'm looked at, behind , there's an important family I need to protect.
Even if I'm thrust at, I'll bite back.
I won't stop just because I fall just once or twice!
I'll move forward until my legs break. Even if they break and I collapse, I'll move on my hands and knees.
I won't escape any more. I won't deceive myself. We will move forward... towards the future.
Selene, who should have been scared behind , before I realized had muttered by my right side.
"...Onii-chan. Now, is the ti you take step forward... that's why, I"ll do my best with Onii-chan."
Staring at Murasaki-san's face, Selene pleaded.
"...Murasaki-san, please make us and Onii-chan siblings."
It wasn't just Selene. Tomomi stood by my left side as if to snuggle up to .
"Can't let just Nii-chan handle it. Nii-chan might be a year older than , but we're eldest son and daughter, the fact we're equal doesn't change."
Tomomi declared with a smile.
"Murasaki-san. If you're to say Nii-chan alone is unreliable, I'll support him as the eldest daughter."
Lining up beside Tomomi was Sayuri.
"Right now, we've left the rails... it's ti we find our own way."
Calmly, Sayuri appealed to Murasaki-san.
"Let us decide our path by ourselves. It might be a selfish desire, but it's the path Onii-sama had finally found."
Yuuki stood next to Selene. Naturally, all of us held hands.
While holding hands, Yuuki looked back and reached out to call Mika over.
"From now on as well, we'll continue striving to beco accustod to being siblings. We can do it right, Mika-chan?"
Mika made a big nod and took Yuuki's hand.
"Yup! Mii-chan, Nii-chama, Nee-chamas, we're a family! A proud family!"
Standing connected, we confronted Murasaki-san.
"Murasaki-san. Jinya-san's... please tell us about the will left by Father."
Still with a cold mask-like expression, Murasaki-san quietly spoke.
"I understand... I shall... ans..."
Murasaki-san's voice trembled. We held each other's hands tightly.
"...wer."
For a mont I couldn't believe my ears. To confirm I asked again.
"You didn't say... 'won't answer' have you?"
Once again Murasaki-san restated.
"I shall answer. In the first place... I have scheduled to tell Yoichi-san about it."
"Eh?!! I-is that so?"
"Everyone, it seems like there's no objection."
My own enthusiasm seed embarrassing.
Still, it seems like clashing my feelings with Murasaki-san wasn't for vain.
And then, Murasaki-san, with a smile like spring sunshine lting snow, said this.
"Yoichi-san. Happy birthday."
