"......?"
I woke up in the middle of the night.
When I woke up and sat in a daze for a while, naturally, I felt sleepy, so I yawned.
It's not uncommon to wake up in the middle of the night, but when I did, like this, it's usually when that girl... Chiso is haunted by a nightmare.
Chiso, I'm going in
After knocking *nock*nock* twice, I opened the door.
"......Just as I thought"
Chiso, was crouching and laying sideway, sleeping on the bed as if frightened by sothing.
As if to remind of Chiso's instability, the room is filled with a black mist that seems to overflow from Chiso.
"If its always like this then, it can't be helped huh"
Chiso certainly has brightened up... However, the pain she suffered in the past was not sothing that could be healed so easily.
It's like a sudden seizure when she's taunted in the middle of the night like this, Contrary to its appearance (the black haze), her power didn't go out of control, nor Chiso seems trying to do anything with it.
"Nii-san, if you find crying out at night, I'll be fine, so don't worry, okay? I'm happy to have Nii-san by my side every ti I wake up, but don't go out of your way to cut on your sleep ti. Think about your body first, will you?"
Exactly because of this she said that to but....... that's just asking for the impossible right.
Even if she says she's okay, I don't think there's an older brother who won't try to do anything when seeing his precious little sister in anguish from having nightmare within reach of his hand like this.
"u..g.h....Nii-san....sav...e..........uu"
"... good grief, saying that you're okay, but then asking for saving you."
Pushing through the black haze, I co close to Chiso's bed and placed my hand on her forehead.
If I stroke the cheek and other parts of her head, as it is, Chiso's complexion will gradually improved, and the black haze subsided.
When the haze that had beco lumps disappeared, it was Kuro Chiso that appeared from there.
It seems that Kuro Chiso can't do anything about this nightmare she sees based on her childhood periods, and in the end, Chiso herself has no choice but to overco it.
"Chiso said to to not worry about it. Still, it's just impossible to leave her alone ain't it."
Kuro Chiso nodded slightly, and as she also wanted to feel at ease sowhere, stuck to my back and couldn't let go.
After stroking and patting Chiso's head for a while, she slowly opened her eyes and stared at .
"Nii-san?"
"Aa. It seems that you've been made quite restless today as well."
"a... ehehe, I won't apologize. But... Thank you, Nii-san."
"Aa" (sure)
It must have been because she instantly understood why I was here and why I was stroking and patting her head that such words was let out.
Chiso should be full of feelings of apology, but she knows that I'm not asking for an apology.
"You're sweating a lot you know. So, what cos?"
"U~n... It's better to take a shower right after all said and done"
"Right. also change your clothes while you're at it."
"Yes~"
With Chiso gone, of course, Kuro Chiso also disappeared.
"Now then... Back to my room."
That said, after calming Chiso down like this, basically, she would co to this room (his room), but I wonder how it will be today?
I was lying on my bed while thinking about such things in a dark room when I heard a knock.
"You can co in just fine you know."
"Un, I'm coming i~n"
Chiso ca into the room wearing orange hooded pajamas instead of the pajamas she was wearing when she woke up.
She ca straight to , so when I rolled up the comforter, she jumped into it.
[Tl note: search google 'comforter']
"As I thought, As expected of my Nii-san. You knew I was coming."
"Its only obvious right. Rather, every ti you woke up like this then things would just end up as usual."
"That's right isn't it. On days like this, I can't sleep unless I'm by my Nii-san's side after all."
I smiled wryly.
We didn't say a word to each other about what happened earlier, We just stay attached with each other.
I wonder if Kuro Chiso doesn't show up because she's trying to give us so space (being caring), well, when it's ti to go to bed, I think she will just co out sleeping on top of again.
"But really, Nii-san is amazing. You'll take notice right away."
"A~... I wonder why? To be honest, I don't even know it myself."
"Is it so?"
"Aa. I thought at first I was going to the toilet, but it wasn't, and its like, I was being pulled naturally into Chiso's room. you know that feeling. I'm sure my instincts was like, go help Chiso because she's in pain right now, like it was telling that."
"...I'm sor--"
"I did say dont apologize before right"
"Wapuu!?"
I'm sorry-- was to be said, and as soon as that, I held Chiso's head to my chest as hard as I could to block the words she was about to say.
Chiso, you dont have to put your feelings of apology into words. So instead of apologizing, you should just go with I love Onii-chan or sothing, or similar to that happy-like words, then go and tell that."
"......Fufu, what is with that"
"......that was a bit of a miss right?"
No matter how much I tried to comfort her, the thing before is just a little bit creepy alright.
When I was reflecting on how to be more careful from now on, Chiso nodded and continued with these words.
"I love you lots, Onii-chan"
"......Chisoe!!"
"a, like I said Nii-san. you know you're crying too much these days!!"
Soday..... I don't really know if soday, I will ever have to talk about that sothing but, there's no way I can't be feeling happy to hear that from Chiso, who I loved so much in my previous life, right? I an, just count how many tis I have been touched by Chiso's words like this.
"...... I too love you lots, Chiso."
"fwu......Un"
And above all, being able to spend ti as Chiso's older brother has a lot to do with it.
Such Brother and sister are repeating embarrassing things like that, Chiso suddenly let out a loud voice.
"Whats wrong?"
"a.... un, you see? I think it's okay now."
"e?"
"I.... don't think I will have anymore nightmares. I won't have to go through anymore bad dreams, I think."
"...... what does that an?"
"Sowhat... really, it just sowhat but... I feel like I won't see it anymore."
"Fu~n?"
That is..... If that's really so, then I can be rest assured.
It is said that this kind of feelings are important, and maybe Chiso really won't have to through nightmares anymore.
"Even so, if sothing happens, I'll rush right away. Even if you have sothing like a scary dream, Onii-chan will go and save you okay. So you can just rest easy and sleep well, you got that?"
"Aaa really! Nii-san, you are too kind!"
That's what being a brother is all about, Chiso.
"......*Fuwaa*" *yawn*
"......*Fuwaa*" *yawn*
After talking for a while, we both got sleepy and have a big yawn.
It was almost ti to go to bed, and Kuro Chiso crawled out from Chiso's shadow and put her body on top of , as if to say that she was waiting for it.
"Ah, that's right Nii-san. It's tomorrow but, there's a place I want to go."
"That's fine. Lets just say I'll go"
"... Ehehe, thank you"
With that promise, together we go to sleep.
While stroking and patting Kuro Chiso's head, who must have been worried all along, from the shadows, And as Chiso hugged , my consciousness sank into the darkness.
"...Naa Chiso"
"Wha~t?"
"This is... the one you wanted to go to?"
"Un!"
The next morning, before noon, we were in front of a certain coffee shop.
It's a new coffee shop in front of the station, but it's pretty popular and seems to be busy almost every day so far.
Chiso seed to want to co here for so reason, but when I saw her pointing her finger at that, I nodded.
"Limited nu for lovers--... huh"
"Aren't we just perfect for it?"
"...... It's true that if we try going like one, people around would think that way.... wait a second, Oi! that's just embarrassing you know that right"
"My cheeks are getting red too you know. Here, the proof that I'm shy."
Don't calmly analyze it, it will make even more embarrassed!
"...... fumu"
However, if I think about it calmly, if I let this mont go and I might never have the opportunity to experience sothing like this ever again.
When I see there are delicious als lined up, thinking it's just right for lunch, I nodded.
"Alright I got it. Off we go then Chiso"
"Can't go on like this can we. Well then, we'll be crossing our ar~ms"
a, this feeling of crossing arms together is just like the sa as usual right.
"A success don't you think"
"Ou"
While staring at her beautiful smile, no doubt that I'm feeling happy with this mont, is what I'm thinking.
While eating the food that was brought to , Chiso gives *a~n* and spoon-feed , and Kuro Chiso seed to be so wistful of wanting that cake, so I gave her whole... I'm sure this is not the way to do this fun, still, and the girls from hearts really enjoyed it a lot.
And as Chiso said, from this day, for a while, Chiso have stopped having nightmares.
[Author Notes]
Onii-chan is steadily gaining favorability.
This world is more or less a romantic cody world, so favorability is important.
