No Otaku with Harem System

Chapter 388: Little Sister(s) Complex

(Umaru perspective) (Himouto! Umaru-chan)

While Onii-chan went out to do generic netori protagonist stuff, I went to find two important members of my internet group.

For a couple of years now, I have been recruiting women with potential who were willing to become internet content creators.

Writers, programmers, illustrators, singers and voice actresses. I looked for future talents since my brother taught me to cultivate talents to turn them into pawns in the future, although I see my group as my friends and not as simple tools.

At the last meeting, I was very happy to finally meet my friends in person, and although I had some arguments with some of them, especially that dumb incestuous blonde, it made me very happy to meet them in person and eat together with them.

Maybe it was luck at its best or maybe I have plot armor from being part of a fanfic chat room, but the fact that most of my group happened to live in my city was a wonderful and very convenient thing. Now that I have the chance to see the last two members of my group I feel very excited.

I've been chatting with my chat room friends and some of my brother's wives. Some of them agreed to join my project of creating a great talent agency, so my dream is becoming more and more real.

I'll have my anime waifus cosplay other waifus! It will be the Waifuception!

Ahem, for now I headed to the house of one of the best NSFW cartoonists on the internet. The talented Eromanga-sensei.

In my group of friends, Ero-chan is the shyest girl and has serious social anxiety disorder, a bit similar to Shouko-san.

(Author's Note: Shouko Komi from Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu)

Ero-chan has a lot of insecurities, but it was easy to get her to talk to me about all her problems, worries, secrets, and traumas. For example, I know that her real name is Sagiri Izumi, she is 12 years old, her mother taught her to draw and was the one who inspired her to be an artist, but tragically she and Ero-chan's stepfather died during the honeymoon, which which made Ero-chan become a complete hikikomori who would starve if it weren't for the fact that she lives with her 16-year-old stepbrother who brings her food.

(Author's Note: Sagiri Izumi from Eromanga Sensei)

Up to that point, Ero-chan's situation sounds like a drama movie, but things turned into a romantic comedy for lolicons since the stepbrother turns out to be the author of a novel where Ero-chan is the official illustrator.

Some days ago, Ero-chan found out about this and has been having a hard time digesting the situation. On the other hand, she is uncomfortable because lately her house is being invaded by three women, which is worsening her social anxiety.

In another coincidence, the other girl who is part of my group recently moved and is now Ero-chan's neighbor.

Elf Yamada is an excellent author, very talented and one of the most outstanding girls in my group since, like Utaha-san, she has also managed to make an official publication without the need for sponsors, it was all thanks to her own talent .

(Author's Note: Emily Granger from Eromanga Sensei)

I've known Elf-chan for a while, and although she's quite narcissistic, she's fun to talk to, plus she's the only girl in the group who can stop Kirino and Utaha-san's narcissism. When Elf-chan starts bragging, all the narcissists can only shut her mouth for fear of starting a battle of egos.

By the way, Elf-chan recently told me that her real name is Emily, but I'll keep calling her Elf-san because it sounds cute.

Besides Elf-chan, Ero-chan mentioned that there is another well-known author who started visiting her house. Author Muramasa Senju also became friends with Ero-chan's brother, although from what she described, Muramasa-sensei seems to be attracted to her brother.

That's a shame. A while ago I tried to recruit her into my group, but she refused saying that she was not interested in joining a group and she just wanted to write the perfect novel according to her own standards. Furthermore, she is very attached to the author Izumi Masamune who is the brother from Ero-chan, which is a problem since one of the group rules I established is that no men are allowed.

Come to think of it, Nyaruko-san and Ina-chan said that I accidentally formed a harem of artists for my brother...

Well, if my friends are my sisters-in-law then we can be a united family, so I don't see the problem.

Anyway. When we arrived in the city, I sent a message to Ero-chan and Elf-chan to meet at Ero-chan's house. She is similar to me and takes online classes so as not to leave the house, and Elf-chan often misses classes without worries because she always gets perfect grades on her exams and her school gives her special treatment.

We agreed to meet together, taking advantage of the fact that Ero-chan's older brother is currently at school, so we have room to have a girl's talk.

I would have liked to visit my friends with just Ina-chan, but my brother insisted that my chat room friends and some of my sisters-in-law be my bodyguards.

"So let's meet another loli for the lolicon… This feels like something illegal nom nom" – Laplus-chan snorted cynically while eating takoyaki.

(Author's Note: Laplus / Yibb-Tstll from Hololive)

"Don't talk with your mouth full, it's disgusting" – Chiyo-nee frowned in disgust and threatened to hit Laplus-chan's head.

(Author's Note: Chiyo / Cthylla from Ane Naru Mono)

"Yes, yes, I'm shaking with fear" – Laplus ignored Chiyo-nee and continued eating.

"…" – Chiyo-nee clicked her tongue and decided to ignore her.

The rivalry between the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods seems like the rivalry between two groups of elementary school children... It's terrifying to think that beings with the power to destroy a universe behave like spoiled little girls.

"Can't you stop arguing? They look like girls" – Mirko-san raised an eyebrow.

(Author's Note: Rumi Usagiyama from My Hero Academia)

Laplus-chan and Chiyo-nee ignored the rabbit heroine. Laplus-chan usually only listens to people who can threaten or amuse her, and Chiyo-nee only cares about my brother, in fact, she treats me well just because it makes her happy that I treat her like my big sister.

Personally, I like the idea of having more older sisters to take care of me and pamper me, but I hate the thought of having another older brother. I only have one brother and that is something I never want to change.

On the other hand, the idea of having younger sisters… Ah, that's something I'd rather not think about.

It bothers me a little that some of my brother's waifus call him Onii-chan, but it makes me laugh to see him get angry, so I have no problem with it, plus they are my sisters-in-law and not my little sisters.

Something I haven't told my brother is that I'm scared at the thought of having more younger sisters related by blood. The thought of losing the only thing that makes me special to my brother terrifies me.

My brother has many waifus, he has daughters and in the future only more and more women will appear, but only I can say that I am his real younger sister. That's something that makes me feel special.

Ah, I better put the thoughts aside or I will become as bitter as my brother.

For now we are walking towards Ero-chan's house. Most of the teenagers and children are at school while the adults are at work, so the streets are free, which is good since my group is made up of beautiful women and in some ways we look like a fashion show.

My brother has an skill that allows him to hide people's appearance and identity, so there is no problem if anime waifus show their faces, because no one can recognize them and in most cases people will think that they are cosplayers slightly similar to anime characters.

On the other hand, Laplus-chan and Ina-chan can walk beside me without anyone being able to identify their Lovecraftian creature identities.

Something I heard is that no one in the multiverse can recognize the human appearances of the Great Old Ones and the Outer Gods. This is because Madness causes the perception of reality to be distorted, and if someone sees one of these beings, they will only see a dark silhouette that causes discomfort and fear.

Anyway, it could happen that someone who knows about anime could recognize the appearances of my new friends, but my brother already took countermeasures for that. His paranoia has no limits.

We finally arrived at Ero-chan's house and I sent her a message so that she could open the door for us, but Elf-chan was the one who opened it for us since Ero-chan doesn't even want to leave her room. She reminds me of me in the first few months after I developed trauma towards the outside world.

"Hams-sensei!" – Elf-chan shouted excitedly when she saw me.

"Elf-chan!" – I also screamed excitedly and we hugged each other as if we were best friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time even though it was the first time we saw each other in person.

Elf-chan is very friendly and a great friend when you are able to put up with her narcissism.

Elf-chan stopped hugging me and I introduced her to my friends. I said they were professional cosplayers from the talent agency we just joined, which isn't entirely a lie. I managed to convince some of them to join my cosplay group.

My waifus will wear 2B cosplay!

Heh, my brother will have to thank me.

Elf-chan usually looks down on people because she thinks too highly of herself, but she had to admit that my friends had the looks to be one of the best cosplayers in the world, although cosplaying professionally also involves the skills to get into character, so Elf-chan still doesn't recognize my friends' talents.

The one that caught Elf-chan's attention the most was Ina-chan since she kept hidden behind me like a scared little animal, but it was obvious that she was happy to meet Elf-chan. I think Ina recognized Elf-chan from some series and that's why she is happy, but Elf-chan misinterpreted that as admiration and thought that Ina-chan was her fan.

For now we entered the house and my sisters-in-law stayed in the living room while they were distracted by their own affairs. Most of them don't really care about anime themes and only Eto-san is a little interested in the stories, but that's because she thinks that knowing anime plots will help her 'play' if we travel to those worlds.

(Author's Note: Eto Yoshimura from Tokyo Ghoul)

I honestly don't want to know what kind of games Eto-san wants to try or I'll have nightmares.

After leaving my friends in the living room, I grabbed Ina-chan's hand to accompany me and Elf-chan to the stairs to go up to Ero-chan's room.

I felt a little emotional since I have long treated Ero-chan as my kohai, there are even times when it seems like she is my little sister.

Thanks to my senses having improved with my brother's training and food, I realized that Ero-chan already knew that we had arrived and was waiting for us on the other side of the door to her room, although she did not dare to open the door for being too shy. How cute.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

I approached the door and spoke, mixing softness and kindness in the same way my brother does when speaking to people with self-esteem and trust issues towards others. – "Ero-chan? I'm Hams, I came to visit you and I brought you a gift"

Elf-san raised an eyebrow as she smiled happily beside me. – "And you didn't bring me something? I thought we were friends"

She wouldn't mind even if she didn't bring her a gift, she just wants to joke, although it's because of that kind of joke that some people feel like she's a nuisance.

I smiled and pointed to the backpack on my back. – "I also brought you something, but first it will be Ero-chan's gift"

We waited a few seconds until Ero-chan finally opened the door for us and shyly peeked around a corner. – "H-Hello"

Her voice was almost inaudible and she was wearing a microphone so her voice could be heard. She's so cute I want to put a cat headband on her and tease her...

I suppressed my love for the moe and smiled. – "It makes me happy to meet you, come on, let me show you what I brought you"

Ero-chan nodded and opened the door to let us in.

Ero-chan's room was the complete opposite of mine. Every part of the room was spotless, there was not a single trace of dust, every manga and game was neatly arranged on the shelf, the clothes were neatly stored and the bed was made without a single wrinkle. It's like looking at my brother's room...

"This place is impeccable, you are the most organized hikikomori I have ever met" – I spoke with admiration.

"T-Thank you?" – Ero-chan tilted her head with slight confusion and a little happiness.

I saw that there was a small table in the middle of the room, so I put my backpack on the floor and opened it. – "Well, I know it's not Christmas, but I wanted to bring something special…"

I took out a box that is wrapped in green cellophane paper with a blue gift bow.

Ero-chan opened her eyes in surprise when I placed the box in her hands and my smile only grew as I saw her expression. – "I am very happy to meet you, Ero-chan"

"D-Don't call me that…" – Ero-chan looked like she was about to cry and was trying to contain herself.

She told me that, since her mother's death, she has not celebrated any kind of party and has stayed in her room, so my gift must be very meaningful to her.

That reminds me that my brother's birthday is a couple of months away... I need to prepare something special.

I smiled trying to hide my desire to make fun of her. – "But Ero-chan chose that name, so Ero-chan is Ero-chan, besides, Ero-chan is a pervert"

"I-I'm not a pervert!" – Ero-chan's face turned red like a tsundere character.

"Ero-chan, the last fanart you made of Yoruichi and Orihime caused a lot of controversy on Twitter… Good job" – I raised a thumb in admiration.

"But you asked me to make the fanart of a blonde boy getting them pregnant while Ichigo and Urahara cried in the corner!" – Ero-chan yelled at me with indignation, although there was a bit of pride in her expression. – "Now everyone thinks I like to draw NTR doujins…"

I wanted to put that fanart as my wallpaper, but Yoruichi-san threatened to break my computer if I did.

"But you like doing it" – I smiled ironically.

"But I didn't want everyone to know!" – Ero-chan pouted angrily.

"Yes, yes, stop crying and see your gift" – I smiled, feeling a lot of tenderness at the loli's angry expression.

Ero-chan continued to pout, but her expression changed as she unwrapped the gift.

It was a state-of-the-art digital drawing tablet that surpasses anything on the market today. My brother gave me one like that, so I asked him for several to give to my friends who are dedicated to digital drawing, I even gave one to Kirino even though she is a tsundere who doesn't know how to say thanks.

In addition to the drawing tablet, I also gave her a headset with artificial intelligence that constantly modulates the voice volume so that Ero-chan can speak without problems with hermicrophone becoming saturated, but the most important thing was a small virtual reality glasses that They are very comfortable and surpass the technology of Sword Art Online.

It's amazing that my brother has access to such incredible things, but he doesn't even know what Facebook is... He's worse than a boomer.

"…" – Ero-chan stared at her gift and couldn't contain her smile, so I smiled too.

Although there are many things I have learned from my brother, I will never agree with his perspective on the friendship. Making a friend happy feels wonderful.

Before Elf-chan could interrupt Ero-chan's happiness, I gave her her gift, so she quickly opened it and screamed excitedly. – "Oh, that's great, thank you Hams-sensei!"

Elf-chan doesn't like to draw and she likes the computer she has to the point that she hasn't bought a better one despite having enough money, but for a long time she has been looking forward to virtual reality.

A few months ago some virtual reality games began to be presented, but the technology still has some limitations. On the other hand, these virtual reality glasses surpass any current technology and will be released on the market within two months by the company run by my sister-in-law Ruoxi-san.

(Author's Note: Lin Ruoxi from My Wife is a Beautiful CEO)

We started chatting about Ichika-san's entertainment company and I also took out a package of cookies to share with them.

(Author's Note: Ichika Nakano from Go Toubun no Hanayome)

It was fun to see both girls squirming with pleasure as they experienced the taste of happiness.

While we were talking, I showed them the contracts and they were interested in working with me. Elf-chan was initially uninterested since she despises the idea of needing help from others, but I convinced her by explaining that one of the benefits of joining the company was early access to the company's technology, games, and works.

Although I managed to convince them, Elf-chan said that first she will have to talk to her representative and Ero-chan has to talk to her aunt, so then I will talk to Ruoxi-san to send a representative and lawyers to sign the contracts.

The topic of business was quick since none of us like to talk about something so boring, so we started talking a little more about ourselves to get to know each other better.

Most of the time Elf-chan and I lead the conversation since Ero-chan and Ina-chan are too shy and can't talk for long.

This reminds me of the meme that an introvert only makes friends when she is adopted by an extrovert... I'm adopting introverts like I'm a puppy shelter.

In general the conversation was normal, but a topic came up that made the atmosphere dense.

Ero-chan sighed sadly while holding a pendant. – "I didn't know my father since he abandoned us when my mother was pregnant, but she never stopped loving him even when she remarried… Now I don't have my mother either…"

I felt deep sympathy for her. Although my father did not abandon us physically, it would have been better if he had disappeared from our lives before I was born.

On the other hand, I know that my mother is fine since I keep track of her activity in the Tower of Awakening thanks to my brother's cell phone, but my heart would feel broken if she were to die. She's not the best mother and objectively she's not even a functional human, but she used to hold me and sing me to sleep whenever I felt scared because my brother didn't come home.

Elf-chan and I approached Ero-chan and gently hugged her. Elf-chan is a narcissist who despises people, but she is very kind to her friends, plus she is very good at reading people and she can understand Ero-chan's pain.

"Mom is gone and I no longer have a family… I have a brother, he takes care of me a lot and makes sure I am hungry, but I no longer have a blood family…" – Ero-chan tried hard not to cry as she opened the locket In her hand. – "This used to be mom's favorite necklace, she said she was happy with her new marriage, but one of her greatest wishes was to see my father again and that's why she took great care of this necklace, she gave it to me so that her new husband didn't feel jealous and I had to take care of it until she returned from her honeymoon..."

I sighed sadly. It makes me sad to see my friend sad.

She wanted to speak, but the corner of my eyes noticed something on the necklace...

Inside the locket was a small photograph. It was a happy couple who hugged each other as if they were completely in love, but my eye started to twitch when I saw the man's smile...

It's him, it's that fucking bastard...

Why is my father hugging Ero-chan's mother?

No, I don't even need to guess. The answer came to my mind immediately.

Ero-chan has beautiful blue eyes and his mother had them too, but his mother's blue tone is duller than Ero-chan's.

Ero-chan's eyes are the same shade of blue as the man I hate the most and the man I love the most. They were the eyes of my father and my brother...

Ero-chan is my sister. She is my younger sister. She is my brother's younger sister.

My father could have had another daughter without us knowing and he is an idiot addicted to gambling, he would not have limited himself to having just one family, he would surely have gotten several women pregnant just because he is a bastard...

How many sisters do I have?

No, that's not important now.

What matters is if my brother knows…

No, my brother is an information obsessive. He already knows that, I'm sure of that. He knows and he didn't tell me.

He wants to replace me...

No, I'm just guessing out of panic and stress.

I know him, he doesn't believe in blood ties, he wouldn't care to know that he has more sisters because he doesn't even see them as family, he will only see them as nuisances.

The most normal thing for him would be to ignore this, or that would have been the case months ago, but he has changed. He now shows emotions, he can already love other people, but most importantly, he went completely crazy.

His possessive tendencies have reached a point beyond human and he will not let a woman who is even remotely involved with him have her own life.

Even though he hates our mother, I know that he will end up accepting her into our family since taking her away from him would cause me pain and he loves me very much.

It's true, he loves me, he loves me too much and he would never abandon me. He even let his body be torn into pieces just to save me because he loves me.

But, he already changed once, he can change again...

What would happen if my brother thinks Sagiri is prettier than me and he chooses her as his little sister?

I am beautiful, I have a healthy body, I am intelligent, I am charismatic, I know how to make money and I am cute, but I have the ability to be self-sufficient.

Sagiri is physically and emotionally weak. She is like a little hamster who will die if someone doesn't take care of her 24 hours a day.

I know my brother. I know that he loves me like his sister, there are also times when he treats me as if I were his daughter and sometimes he treats me as if I were his pet.

I don't have problems with that. I like being pampered by him, but I'm maturing, I'm growing and he may no longer think that I need him to take care of me...

I know it. I have no proof, but I am almost certain that the most horrible trauma of my life was caused by him.

The fact that rapists showed up the first time I decided to leave the house on my own was too much of a coincidence. Maybe my brother manipulated them so that they would scare me, but they got out of control and that's why my brother broke their spines in a fit of rage.

Before my brother didn't show attachment emotions and I couldn't read what he felt towards me, I could only guess some of his thoughts based on logical thinking, but now he shows emotions, he shows the vulnerable side of him.

When he was very hurt, I saw the weaker side of him and for a moment, he looked at me with a feeling of guilt.

At the time I thought he felt guilty because he didn't stop me from being kidnapped, but now I understand. He feels guilty for causing the trauma that made me afraid of the world.

He always knows what is happening and manipulates everything to create a tragedy that he can control. I always knew that, but what hurts me is that even now, he doesn't trust me, he didn't tell me that we have more sisters...

And all because of Sagiri...

"I-I n-need to go to the bathroom…" – I quickly stood up and hurried to the bathroom.

I closed the bathroom door and leaned against the door as my hands shook.

It was a moment, it was less than a second, but for an instant I thought about hurting my dear friend just because she shares my blood...

I sighed deeply and opened the sink to wet my face a little. It seems that my brother is not the only yandere in the family...

Now that I feel calmer, I was able to think things through better and I think I know what happened, but I still want a clear answer.

"Onii-chan…" – I opened the voice message function that my brother placed in the chat room so I could contact him. – "Come a minute… I… found something… ah, you have to come, we have to talk"

I couldn't and didn't want to hide my anger. He's smart and he'll know I found out his damn secret and he'll feel guilty. I love him, but I want him to feel guilty for what he did.

I can forgive that he would have ruined my life by causing me the worst trauma I have, I can forgive that he would have murdered several people in front of me just to make me obedient, I can even forgive his desire to kill our mother, but I cannot forgive that he Don't be willing to trust me.

My brother won't be long to come, so I sent a message in the chat room briefly explaining what happened so that my friends would know the context of the drama. I know they heard my conversation, so they must understand a little of what happened.

After sending the message, I opened my phone and looked for some photos of my mom. She is very beautiful, but in almost every photo of her she appears with my disgusting father. Normally that makes me angry, but this time it will be something very useful.

I returned to Ero-chan's room and apologized for my sudden outburst. I showed a genuinely apologetic attitude and a complicated look that Elf-chan noticed and realized that something very complicated had happened.

I sighed heavily and sat next to Ero-chan, hugging her gently and trying my best to imitate Chiyo-nee's big sister temperament. – "Ero-chan… No, Sagiri-chan, I have something to tell you"

Ero-chan still had tears in her eyes and I felt bad for using her to punish my foolish brother, but in the long run this will be good for her. Ero-chan will once again have a family that loves her, she will have a brother, a sister, a husband and a sister-in-law, and if what Navi said is true, she could also have a daughter...

I showed my phone to Ero-chan. – "I know this is very sudden, but I think we are sisters"

"…" – Ero-chan and Elf-chan opened their eyes in disbelief when they saw the photograph of my father and mother hugging each other as if they loved each other. Well, my mother loved him, but my father doesn't even have a heart.

Now the important thing. Elf-chan is very intelligent and she will notice if I want to take advantage of Ero-chan's emotional weakness to make her want to be part of my family, so I have to be subtle.

"I understand if you think this is sudden and overwhelming, but I want you to know something" – I hugged Ero-chan more affectionately. - "You are not alone"

Ero-chan trembled like a little dog that was abandoned in the rain and was looking for shelter. My jealousy and anger diminished a lot and I hugged her more carefully. She is not guilty of my father's stupidities and my brother's mythomania, she is a good girl who needs the love of a family.

Elf-chan remained silent, but did not leave the room and stayed close to us to show her support for Ero-chan. She is a good friend.

"I called my brother and he will come in a few minutes" – I gently stroked Ero-chan's hair. – "My brother is very intelligent and responsible, maybe he can understand the situation and could help us understand what is happening, and you don't need to be nervous, my brother seems moody, but he is a tsundere so you shouldn't worry, besides, it was he who made the cookies that you liked so much"

Ero-chan seemed distressed and a little scared at the thought of meeting another person, but nodded like an obedient loli. For a long time she has treated me like her older sister and listens to me in most things and this time she was no exception.

We didn't have to wait long as my brother arrived quickly. He knocked on the door and I asked Elf-chan to open the door.

When the door opened, my brother was standing waiting to be let in.

Elf-chan was gentle and kindly left the room while dragging Ina so that my brother and I could talk privately with Ero-chan.

Upon entering the room, my brother looked me in the eyes and we both completely understood what the other was thinking.

My brother has changed a lot since he became a generic fanfic protagonist, but the essence of his person has remained the same, so I can communicate with him with just a look.

My brother's look said: "Did you find out?"

My look said: "Yes, you are an idiot"

My brother's look said: "I know, I'm sorry"

I refrained from yelling at him.

My look said: "I don't want your apologies, I want you to suffer the punishment"

My brother's look said: "Shit… I want to die"

My look said: "Then die, then revive and die again"

My brother's look said: "How problematic…"

Our exchange of glances lasted a couple of seconds, so he entered the room and looked at Ero-chan who was in my arms.

Ero-chan looked at my brother with a mix of curiosity, anxiety, expectation, and fear. She really wants a family connected by blood, but she also feels strange that a complete stranger is her older brother even though she already has her stepbrother.

My brother sighed softly and sat down in front of us while making sure not to be too close so as not to scare Ero-chan.

My brother showed a gentle expression worthy of a professional loli kidnapper and spoke softly. – "Hello, my name is Oosuki Luis. What is your name?"

"…" – Ero-chan clung to my arms like a scared child, but she managed to speak in a very low voice. – "I-Izumi S-Sagiri…"

"It's a beautiful name" – My brother smiled like a loving father would.

I still can't get used to my brother's disgustingly gentle attitude. I feel like I'm going to vomit rainbows.

My brother began to chat softly with Ero-chan like a teacher would when dealing with a girl with autism, but his real attention was focused on talking to me through a telepathic link.

"I'm sorry for not telling you sooner" – My brother managed to convince Ero-chan to approach him.

"Then you admit that you knew and you still didn't tell me…" – I saw how Ero-chan began to cry when feeling an unexpected sensation of paternal love from my brother.

"I think you already understand why I did it, but I admit that it was a mistake not to tell you when I found out" – My brother hugged Ero-chan when she started to cry.

"Yes, I know, you already knew that I would feel jealous and terrified at the thought of losing you, but your fucking stupid idea was to keep everything a secret to eliminate all evidence before I knew about it" – I tried hard not to hit his silly face

"A lot of things happened recently and I didn't have time to eliminate the evidence, although deep down in my subconscious, I wanted you to know this since I don't want to lie to you anymore, but I can't help it, sometimes I don't even know when I'm lying andI understand why I do it, it just became something as everyday as breathing" – My brother sounded strangely sincere. It is clear that he is not used to telling the truth.

I watched as Sagiri cried in my brother's arms while he gently comforted her and I realized that I am clenching my fists tightly. This is the first time I feel jealous seeing my brother with a woman. It's a horrible feeling.

"Umaru…" – My brother wanted to tell me something, but I interrupted him.

"I hate you, I hate you a lot, I am very angry and at this moment I hate you, but I know that this will not last long, you know what I want to hear and you know what to do to make me forget this hatred, you will even find a way for me to sorry, but just this once let me hate you…" – My fist clenched tighter. – "I don't want to forgive you"

My brother stopped looking at Ero-chan and looked into my eyes. His look gave me a clear message: "I understand, it will be as you want."

"You know what I want you to do" – I relaxed my fists and looked into my brother's eyes.

"…" – I heard my brother's telepathic sigh.

"Sagiri, I'm sorry for not knowing you before and supporting you, I'm sorry for leaving you alone…" – My brother's tone of voice did not change, but his body language and the way he caressed Ero-chan's hair had a subtle change.

A moment ago my brother conveyed a fatherly feeling, but now he seemed like a kind protagonist in a k-drama.

Consciously Ero-chan was not able to understand this change, but unconsciously she felt that the warmth of the hug was different. Instead of a feeling of security, she now felt a warmth that made her heart race, but she is too young to understand the difference in those feelings.

My brother continued to look at me while he comforted Ero-chan like a boyfriend would do with his partner. His eyes said: "I only do it for you."

I narrowed my eyes. – "I know, I hope you suffer"

My brother has done all sorts of horrible things to survive to the point that death or the sewers don't cause him displeasure, but there are two things that he absolutely cannot stand even in nightmares; intimacy with a man and incest.

I can't get my brother to have a relationship with a man as that would be beyond disgusting, plus my sisters-in-law would never allow it, but incest is possible.

I know he will find a way to trick our mother into believing that they have a romantic relationship that doesn't involve sex, I also heard that his daughters love him passionately, but he is a genius at manipulation and can find a way around the route of incest.

I won't let him escape. I want him to suffer from one of the things that disgusts him the most, but at the same time I don't want to hurt him too much, so I will let him decide if he will do it or not.

Revenge is meaningless. Him suffering won't make me feel better and I won't be happy if he repents. This doesn't make sense, but I'll still do it because I have a bigger reason.

"I want you to find each of our sisters, then you must make them fall in love and have daughters with them" – I smiled slightly when I saw my brother's face pale because of my telepathic message. – "Each of them must see you as her husband, I don't want anyone else to see you as an older brother, only I can be your little sister…"

…Wow, I didn't imagine I had such a strong yandere side. This is uncomfortable, jealousy is not pleasant.

My idea is simple; If our sisters see my brother as a husband, then they will be wives and only I will have the position of little sister.

My brother may have a harem with billions of waifus, but he will only have one little sister and that will be me.

"…." – My brother stared at me, his gaze losing all traces of life while the desire to die grew. Despite that, he nodded.

Our relationship is strange. I need him to pamper me to feel alive. He needs to pamper me to feel alive.

He hurts me to then give me comfort and thus always keep me by his side. I don't make an effort in life to make him feel guilty about how useless I am and so he becomes obsessed with making me happy.

We're a couple of stupid losers trapped in a horrible cycle of codependency, but that's okay. This is a false and totally superficial happiness, but it is our happiness.

"Umaru, even if it is not for the better, you have matured" – It was brief, but for a moment I could see sadness in my brother's eyes.

I don't know if he's showing that because he knows what I want to see, but I responded with what he wanted to hear. – "I can't grow up because I'm too cute, now I want pizza and I think I have crumbs in my hair"

My brother smiled and I smiled. We are a pair of brothers who will always be together because we need each other to survive. He keeps me alive and I give him a purpose to live.

My brother continued hugging Ero-chan until she fell asleep, so he gently placed her on her bed and we left the room to talk to the women who were paying attention to the drama.

Opening the door we saw Elf-chan who had been listening through the door. She showed no shame at being caught spying and smiled proudly. Meanwhile, Ina had started drawing since she had a moment of inspiration from the drama.

"You did well" – Elf-chan nodded as she crossed her arms like an Ojou-sama.

My brother smiled kindly. – "Thank you for taking care of my sisters, you are an incredible woman"

"Fufufu, you don't need to say it" – Elf-chan's smug expression increased from the flattery. – "Now praise me more"

"Not only are you smart and kind, you're also beautiful, you really do everything right" –My brother started to act like a bootlicker, but kept a gentle tone of voice so that Elf-chan wouldn't feel like he was being flattered to gain something from her , but because he wanted to make her smile.

"Hehehe" – Elf-chan seemed to be in heaven because of my brother's words.

Elf-chan is very good at reading people and knows when someone is flattering her superficially or to get something from her, but on this occasion, she only saw sincerity in my brother. She overestimated her own analytical abilities and that led her into the den of the wolf…

Elf-chan is really beautiful like a doll, but her appearance and personality don't match my brother's tastes, so he is doing this for another reason. Maybe he noticed that Ero-chan trusts Elf-chan a lot, so he will take advantage of that to completely dominate Ero-chan's heart.

I smiled with satisfaction. It makes me happy to know that my brother is willing to do what he hates most in order to satisfy my stupid and useless whims. I really love him.

My brother easily managed to tame Elf-chan as we went down the stairs. In a matter of minutes she was already holding his arm with joy.

Elf-chan wasn't in love with my brother and she rather saw him as an adorable minion, but that's just the first step.

My brother talked a little with the girls to appear in front of Elf-chan, but he sent us the important information through the chat room.

The happiness I felt when I saw my brother's suffering disappeared when I read the information.

Basically this city has no future and we have to prepare for a battle.

My brother sent a series of very detailed plans and gave us very specific instructions, then he said that he had to leave and said goodbye while saying that he would return later to talk to Ero-chan's brother about the situation and raise the possibility of having her join our family.

Elf-chan didn't pressure my brother to stay, but he said that he would stay at Ero-chan's house and that my brother should bring more delicious food.

After my brother said goodbye, I said I would walk him to the door so we would have a space to talk privately.

At the door I noticed that the house was surrounded by a screen of purple light that protected the house, but I did not pay attention to my brother's tricks and grabbed his arm without hiding my concern. – "I'm still angry with you and I would love to see you suffer, but I don't want something bad to happen to you. Can't we run away and pretend that nothing happened?"

I still remember what happened in the mad scientist's laboratory. At that moment my brother almost died and I don't want that to happen again. I'd rather see humanity become extinct than for him to be hurt.

"The only way out would be to destroy the barrier, but that would cause the end of the world and I have wives who can't get out of this disgusting world, so I have to take the hard way" – My brother sighed in annoyance.

I pouted. – "You are a stupid dog"

My brother frowned. – "You are a stinky skunk"

"…" – We both looked at each other angrily, then we hugged each other.

"Take good care of yourself" – I sighed.

"Also take care of yourself, remember that you should not do heroic acts" – My brother sighed.

"I know" – I let go of my brother.

A bag of cookies appeared in my brother's hand and he handed it to me. – "There is a space anchor in each cookie that will be activated when the war starts, give one to each person you want to save when the chaos begins"

I nodded and put the cookies away. I can't let my friends know about this or they will try to save the whole city and that will cause problems for my brother since miracles give prestige to heroes, but tragedies give credibility.

My brother nodded and left. It didn't take many words to understand how much I care about his safety and how much he cares about my well-being.

I sighed and went back into the house. For now I can only wait and not cause problems.

Author's Note:

Depression made me be much more dramatic than necessary in this arc, sorry.

To change this it is time to start senseless violence. Yay!

On the other hand, I'm sorry for my sudden disappearances this last month. I have been very pressured with my certification exam and the preparation of my thesis that suffocates me to the point that I want to get drunk on ammonia...

Anyway, in 10 days is my exam and in two weeks is my thesis defense, so I will be very busy these days. I will try to write in my free time, but I will be slower.

If I don't die of a stress-induced stroke, I'll be free in mid-November to write regularly again.

Thank you very much for continuing to read my work despite my lack of consistency.

A hug <3< p>
