  1. Chapter 5
  2.  
  3. - Then, since that Christmas, quite some time has passed.
  4. - Although I also want to tell everybody about what happened after me and my imouto began to date, don't come and expect some kind of affectionate lover's story.
  5. - To tell the truth, those kind of situations were practically nonexistent.
  6. - I already told the story of the off-meet the day after the confession, and we didn't quite look like lovers.Kirino was tsun, tsun, tsun, tsun like always ---- perhaps even more so than before.
  7. - Mah, it also was for keeping it a secret to dad and the other ---- as such it can be seen as a very elaborate scheme.
  8. - But even if you put it as a scheme, I was really troubled. Right then surely no person existed, who could have told that we siblings [were dating]. Absolutely! We didn't do anything!
  9. - So, thus we shouldn't have been found out by dad and the others.
  10. - This about, should be the forword.
  11. - Then, let me begin describing my neither dubious, nor love-filled, absolutely normal new life.
  12. - That is, a certain morning during the vacations ----
  13.  
  14. - My name is Kousaka Kyousuke. Even though it a little bit, well you know, to say it like that, but I'm a very normal male high schooler.
  15. - Morning. When I was slowly waking up, while still being half asleep.
  16. - "..... mhm .... mhm...."
  17. - My head was dizzy, feeling like something was different from the usual state.
  18. - During this time, that was still a long way removed from spring ---- due to my room not possessing any heating, and the heater also gets shut down before sleep, I usually woke up with a [my god, it's cold today] complaint.
  19. - But, um ..... that day I actually woke up with a [somehow it's a little bit warm] kind of feeling.
  20. - After my mind had become somewhat clear, I opened my eyes -----
  21. - ------ then
  22. - "------ eh?"
  23.  
  24. - Before my eyes the sleeping Kirino was breathing peacefully.
  25.  
  26. - "Suu .... suu...."
  27. - ".... wha....!? Ki, Kirino!?"
  28. - Ghe! I straightened my body in a flurry, then pinched my face ----- it was not a dream.
  29. - But reality.
  30. - Besides me, Kirino was sleeping! Wearing her pink pyjamas!
  31. - I remembered something Kirino said in the past, when she started pushing me to play eroge.
  32.  
  33. - [---- neh, neh, sleeping so sweet and defenceless besides you, what do you think? Would you get startled?]
  34.  
  35. - "Oh, oh, oh, oh .....! Startled that I nearly jumped up twice....!"
  36. - Due to the shock my voice also got croaky. I mean that situation really was ....!
  37. - If, if this was an eroge, then this would be the time for some incident-CG!
  38. - Even though I used such an unbelievable comparison, but, it really was like a scene out of an eroge....
  39. - Yes, that .... 'Make love with your imouto ♪' game entered such a scene right after the beginning.
  40. - Gulp. When I realized this, choices appeared in my head.
  41. - [Towards this sweet sleeping Kirino, I ....]
  42.  
  43. - [1. Hug her softly and gently.]
  44.  
  45. - "Disappear!"
  46. - Do I want to die!? Hugging the soundly sleeping imouto, what a madness is this.... !
  47. - Here I remembered, the protagonist of 'Make love with your imouto ♪' was absolutely a brave man.
  48. - Even for me who was dating his imouto, this scene only caused me to shake my head...
  49.  
  50. - [2. Don't wake her up and quietly leave the bed.]
  51.  
  52. - "Muh...."
  53. - A very unspectacular choice. Players facing this choice would surely ignore this one, but in the real world that's the only choice, right! I of course also didn't consider my choice back then [3. Don't hesitate and kick her out of the bed].
  54.  
  55. - [----- What have you done to Shiori-chan!]
  56.  
  57. - That's why I understood. I will never repeat this choice again.
  58. - .... but honestly, the way this girl sleeps is really cute.
  59. - I also thought that there was some kind of good-smelling odor... that let my heart beat fast....
  60. - "..............."
  61.  
  62. - [1. Hug her gently and softly.]
  63. - [1. Hug her gently and softly.]
  64. - [1. Hug her gently and softly.]
  65.  
  66. - "Wha, wha, wha, what the hell am I thinking......!"
  67. - No! That's not right! It's some kind of guy outside this world who is controlling my choices....!
  68. - Although that was impossible of course, I still felt this way. Just like [a protagonist controlled by a player], I betrayed my own senses and my body moved automatically. I once again lied down, then reached out a hand.
  69.  
  70. - [4. Gently touch her a little.]
  71.  
  72. - "Gya!"
  73. - Gueh!
  74. - "Wha, what do you want to do to your own imouto!"
  75. - "Waaaaaaaaaa! Eh, I.... I mean, you were awake!?"
  76. - I already thought I would drop dead! Suddenly opening the eyes and jumping up, something like that!
  77. - We both shouted around in panic.
  78. - "Were you pretending to be asleep just now!"
  79. - "No! I only woke up when you let out strange sounds!"
  80. - "Just open your eyes then!"
  81. - That way we would have avoided this kind of incident!
  82. - "Shut up! And don't attempt to distract from the topic! Just now.... you, you, you, you -------"
  83. - Kirino, just like Ayase, hugged her breasts embarrassed.
  84. - "You wanted to touch my boobs, right!"
  85. - She put it in such a nasty way.
  86. - "I... didn't."
  87. - "Reply while looking in my eyes. You did want to touch them, right? By the way, did you actually touch them?"
  88. - "No, I didn't."
  89. - Definitely.
  90. - "Hah? You did touch them, right?"
  91. - "I said I didn't touch them. Aren't you annoying.... probably just slightly poked your clothes?"
  92. - "You absolutely did poke at the spot of the breasts, right!? You..... ecchi! I'm honestly disappointed! Die!"
  93. - You see ------ rumbling around just after waking up! Absolutely no loving feeling right? Then I revealed my colours and asked,
  94. - "Che, what's so bad about it, we are dating after all?"
  95. - "You, you're excuses actually evolved!?"
  96. - "Due to the fault of you waking up when I was still watching, I feel like I didn't touch anything."
  97. - "So you indeed touched them! Assaulting your soundly sleeping imouto ---- you are unbelievable!"
  98. - "The protagonist of 'Make love with your imouto ♪' also tightly hugged his sleeping imouto. That was okay?"
  99. - "That was okay, because that would be out of love. You on the other hand, first behaved like a beast."
  100. - "This isn't the case. Right now I'm also overflowing with love for you!"
  101. - "Ah ~ honestly .... you reply to everything...."
  102. - Kirino stared at me with eyes half closed. By the way, lately that girl hasn't used violence as often as in the past, thus has become less fearsome. But if it would have been the girl whose name starts with an 'A', I would already have been beaten half dead.
  103. - I also half-closed my eyes and stared back at her.
  104. - "So? Why were you sleeping in my bed?"
  105. - "................ for whatever reasons." (?)
  106. - Whe whispered while her face reddened.
  107. - "Don't move away your gaze. Answer me while looking me into the eyes."
  108. - "Che" Kirino clicked her tongue in an annoying fashion, then slightly turned towards me and said ".... would do."
  109. - "Hah?"
  110. - ".... I said, I wanted to know what you would do, if I slept besides you."
  111. - "..................."
  112. - Not good, so embarrassed!
  113. - With me silent, Kirino seemed to have misunderstood something, and continued hurriedly,
  114. - "You, you see, you ---- before, didn't you say."
  115. - "Eh?"
  116. - "Christmas that day, after returning home .... didn't you cry. Cried like really bad. And said in a super~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ miserable way. Said something like [Wuuuuuu! I also.... I also want to have a [futon date] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!!]."
  117. - "Forget that thing!"
  118. - "Didn't you also say something like [although I really pushed myself to make a calm and disinterested expression] [the dream Sakurai mentioned is a dream of all men], right?"
  119. - "Please don't speak further."
  120. - I, I said something like that!? Although I was babbling around in a confused and sad state, but this truly is a bit extreme.
  121. - "You also said [Wu.... wu... I also want to do this or that while wrapped in blankets with my girlfriend...], you really cried hard while saying that. Really like it wouldn't stop."
  122. - "Was, was that so?"
  123. - I absolutely couldn't remember. The, the depiction was a bit exaggerated, right? For, forgetting about it was a way to prevent feeling sorry, right?
  124. - "Therefore, that's why I thought you perhaps also wanted me to do something, I really was very hesistant."
  125. - "..... so, sorry."
  126. - I only could apologize.
  127. - "This.... so, you came over and slept with me just for a [futon date]?"
  128. - "U, um."
  129. - If what you told was the truth, then you really are a commendable girlfriend.
  130. - It doesn't have some other hidden meaning, right.
  131. - "Really .... only due to that?"
  132. - Then let's start getting affectionate.(?)
  133. - "One-third probably."
  134. - "What do you mean."
  135. - "The other third.... I just mentioned."
  136. - [... I said, I wanted to know what you would do, if I slept besides you.]
  137. - This. .... even though just thinking about it makes me blush, but Kirino surely hoped that I would do something. If you want something, don't just be tsun-tsun.
  138. - "The last third then?"
  139. - "Hah? Why should I tell you everything one by one?"
  140. - That's also right. This kind of reaction, that's like you.
  141. - If it would have been the prior me, I would have said back [I absolutely don't understand it. Neh, what did you mean?]. But today I won't put myself at such a high spot.
  142. - How about as a wise answer?
  143. - By the way -----
  144. - Lately we, have been like this every day.
  145. - Right? We weren't affectionate every day, at all.
  146.  
  147.  
  148. - Another day, one holiday morning. I was studying in my room, when Kirino came over and said to me
  149. - "We are having a [lover's ceremony], when you've finished studying, come over and help in the preparations."
  150. - Sounded like she was copying Kuroneko's lines.
  151. - But this [lover's ceremony], doesn't it just mean the affectionate love-love feeling I desired, was about to unfold! Thus I replied happily
  152. - "I will finish it in three times the speed, so wait for a moment."
  153. - Thus just as promised, I picked up the pace and finished the goals before noon, and went over to Kirino's.
  154. - Knock, knock ---- kacha
  155. - "Come in."
  156. - "Mhm."
  157. - She already, didn't greet me with this aggressive look on her face.
  158. - The room of my imouto was as always filled with a special sweet smell. Ever since the first life-counseling session, although I've been going in and out of the room countless times, I'm still ----- should I say nervous, or feeling some kind of embarrassment. (?)
  159. - ".... I somehow feel, the stuff here has grown."
  160. - "Don't look around at stare at everything. By the way, you've noticed that just now?"
  161. - Growing it bit by bit, I really haven't noticed it before.
  162. - "I see --------"
  163. - I let out a big sigh.
  164. - "----- you already, won't move out anymore."
  165. - Looking back, when she came back from her stay abroad it was also like that. Going to Akihabara, then buying more otaku stuff, eroge than ever before ------ at that time she was indiscribable happy.
  166. - "That's right."
  167. - Heh, she looked pretty cheerful.
  168. - Because Kirino didn't have to leave the other otakus, her mood had risen, creating an urgent need. (?)
  169. - Honestly, what a fearsome existence.
  170. - "Ahm, then could you perhaps start explaining?"
  171. - "What do you mean?"
  172. - "[lover's ceremony]
  173. - "Isn't it obvious already, idiot!"
  174. - If I got it right, that would be strange!
  175. - "This is because you are dense as hell. Okay, sit down, and let me enlighten you."
  176. - From her high position she pointed down at the cushion on the floor.
  177. - "Okay, okay"
  178. - I did as she had said and sat down opposite to Kirino.
  179. - The position of the life-counseling sessions.
  180. - "So? What are we doing today?"
  181. - Confronted with my question, Kirino blushed like she was very embarrassed and said
  182. - "Lovers or so.... aren't they supposed to..... in the room of the other, leave some marks for each other....?"
  183. - "Is it necessary?"
  184. - "It is necessary!"
  185. - Just going by my few experiences with love ---- ah, ah, she is meaning this kind of thing.
  186. - Even though I understood, but it wasn't really necessary to speak it out loud.
  187. - Now, it is time to tell a story about me and Kirino.
  188. - "But, aren't things like that coming very naturally? See, like the cushion I'm sitting on right now."
  189. - Isn't that ---- the thing you threw at my during the first life-counseling session.
  190. - Do you remember?
  191. - And afterwards, everytime I went to Kirino's room, I alway used this cat cushion.
  192. - Saying [use that, have a seat]
  193. - "True, it can be said that this cushion is already your special cushion, but this is because it has been stained by your bottom, I already don't want it anymore."
  194. - For this reason!
  195. - "But, but! Leaving marks for each other, doesn't it come naturally just like that?"
  196. - "What's so bad about doing it on purpose?"
  197. - "Mah, that's true, so what do you want to do?"
  198. - "Just ~~~~~~~~~~~~ fittingly, right now, hasn't the stuff in my room grown very much? Thus!"
  199. - I had a bad feeling. Kirino smiled brilliantly and said,
  200. - "Just let me share a part of my most precious collections with you and put it in your empty room!"
  201. - "Aren't you just using my room as storage, because you no longer have any room for your otaku stuff!"
  202. - What [lover's ceremony], you dare to put it in such good-sounding words!
  203. - "It's not like that. I will also take a few things from you room and put it here."
  204. - We're doing this together ~ She smiled like that.
  205. - "My room has practically nothing, apart from life-necessities! If you take those away it will be quite inconvenient."
  206. - "You should have something else, not?"
  207. - Should have .... are you saying for example something similarly precious as your otaku collection. (?)
  208. - "There are only those porn magazines.... you want those?"
  209. - "The hell with those! Is there any boyfriend who would offer his girlfriend his porn magazines!?"
  210. - "But there isn't anything else available."
  211. - "Che.... then I'll look myself, go, on to your room."
  212. - Kirino said that and stood up.
  213. - ...... honestly, is she really intending on fulfilling this [lover's ceremony].
  214. - Ah ~ so troublesome. It looks like my room will become packed....
  215.  
  216. - "Uah.... after reviewing another time, your room really doesn't have anything!"
  217. - "What do you care."
  218. - I spatted in a low voice at the [girlfriend]-sama who was looking through my room.
  219. - Honestly, there really wasn't anything.
  220. - Let me explain, my room only contains a bed, table and a bookshelf ---- even though it is built-in. Aside from that, only the figurine cabinet given to me by Mikagami and the computer given to me by Saori.
  221. - Those manga magazines are thrown away shortly after finishing them, and there are also no hobbies worth mentioning. Even if I wanted to increase the things in my room, I would fail.
  222. - Although I doubt there are many people like me. But at least I am accepted by people like Manami.
  223. - "That's why I said, there is nothing here. So there's nothing that can be done if you want to exchange things."
  224. - "This would be okay."
  225. - "------ oy, I say! My school uniform! What should I do if you take that away!"
  226. - On the coat-hanger, originally hanging on the wall, Kirino suddenly took, hung the full set of my school uniform.
  227. - Shirt, tie, jacket and trousers ---- everything.
  228. - "If you take that, I can't even go to school anymore!"
  229. - "When you have to use it, just come to my room and get it."
  230. - "You want me to come over every morning wearing only my underwear to change clothes!"
  231. - "You're not allowed to do that! Is there any aniki who storms naked into the room of his imouto on this world! You hentai! Come in your regular clothes while getting it! [Good morning Kirino. Then, I'll take that away.], just like that!"
  232. - "Da ~ ka ~ ra! Why do I have to do something so inconvenient!"
  233. - "It's the fault of you having nothing in your room. So I just pleasently decided on this."
  234. - Bam.
  235. - "............."
  236. - She honestly took that away!
  237. - "Honestly....."
  238. - I followed Kirino and returned to her room. After entering, I saw that girl happily hanging the trophy from my room on her wall.
  239. - "Good. See, just let your uniform decorate my room. Aren't you honoured?"
  240. - "Yes, yes"
  241. - "Good, now it's my turn."
  242. - After allowing my imouto to take my clothes, as an exchange, it was my turn to take some of Kirino's otaku collection. What is this for a [lover's ceremony], I get nothing out of it.
  243. - Even a nice person like me has his limits.
  244. - "Good, first this, Meruru figurines."
  245. - Is that for the figurine cabinet? Mah, it indeed is much better than putting them into a hidden closet.
  246. - "One at a time, please take them carefully to your room! I you break one, I'll kill you."
  247. - "Yes, yes.... by the way that [lover's ceremony], shouldn't it have some other use!"
  248. - "Hah, for example?"
  249. - "For example buying an identical pair of cups, or an identical pair of toothbrushes, or something like that."
  250. - "You dare to have such ero associations! Hentai!"
  251. - What! I didn't say any strange thing! .... probably?
  252. - Associating those things with ero, you are the ecchi one! To even think of cups or toothbrushes as ero, indeed a hentai of similar level as Sena.
  253. - "Che, don't say any rubbish and get moving! There are many more things that have to be moved to your room!"
  254. - "Understood"
  255. - How should I say it...
  256. - Like that ----- under the title of [lover's ceremony], we began the work of storing stuff in my room.
  257. - Ku.... my room..... was painted in Kirino-colour.....!
  258. - Although apparently something similar extreme happened in the past .... by the way, the direct reason for Kirino's room being full is the fact, that during the time I lived alone, my room was turned into an imouto paradise by Kirino, guaranteed. And despite me forcing her to restore it to its prior appearence, it was impossible to put everything into Kirino's room.
  259. - Although my imouto may be one of a kind.... but otakus are all creatures who have a hard time throwing anything away.
  260. - [If you talk about treasures, these without question, all are] ----- when giving a reason like that, they should know that there are physical limits.
  261. - That my room will get caught up in it, was only a matter of time.
  262. - ......... if I didn't make it clear at this time.
  263. - "Oy, Kirino ---- even when retreating 100 steps, I'll let the figurines be, but the other stuff are not allowed. Honestly no space for them."
  264. - "Your bookshelf can be used for eroge."
  265. - "Don't joke around!"
  266. - No matter how strong your imagination is, you don't need to go this far, idiot! What will people think, when they see a bookshelf full of imouto-type eroge in the room of a male high schooler who has an imouto? I can only die, then!
  267. - "Even though you are going out with your imouto, you still are saying something like that...."
  268. - "That is one thing, this, however, is an entirely different thing!"
  269. - Honestly....
  270. - "Then there's no way around it. I just give you the all-ages versions."
  271. - "Muh...."
  272. - Even if it is the all-ages version, isn't it still bad enough? The title is something lie 'Make love with your imouto ♪' after all?
  273. - ".... understood."
  274. - I still nodded... Kyousuke --- you! Are spoiling your imouto too much! Are you dumb or what?
  275. - "Where?"
  276. - "Here, inside this hidden closet."
  277. - "This bag?"
  278. - "Mhm"
  279. - I followed Kirino's directions and opened the door and reached out with my hand.
  280. - By the way, this bag, isn't it the one containg this 'Sukatoro * Sisters' thing? .... I, I don't have the courage to put something like that on my bookshelf!
  281. - I temporarily pushed aside those thoughts and looked for those all-ages eroge (putting it like this also creates a very confusing situation).
  282. - Then -----
  283. - "Oh .... this..."
  284. - "What?"
  285. - "Ya...."
  286. - What I discovered was, including this 'Sukatoro' ----- was that box Kirino had carefully sealed.
  287. - I noticed that this was already the third time I saw it.
  288. - The first time was on the eve of Kirino's stay abroad.
  289. - Back then ---- Kirino showed me a part of it. The part with one of Kirino's reason for starting with track and field athletics, the proof of the time she was still slow, the medals of her running competitions. And, the reports.
  290. - As for the content of the album and iPod that were together in it -------------
  291.  
  292. - [Show, show them to me the next time!]
  293.  
  294. - ------ I did not see it.
  295. - The second time was after Kirino returned and invited Kuroneko to our home.
  296. - Watching Kirino proudly sharing her collection with a good friend, I ----
  297.  
  298. - [----- Kirino, that album, what's in it?]
  299. - [That's already something, I won't show you at all cost.]
  300.  
  301. - The second time, I also didn't see it.
  302. - "Neh, Kirino -----"
  303. - Life, is similar to eroge, but also not similar.
  304. - "-------- this, do you want to see?"
  305. - "------- oh, i want to. Although you didn't allow me to see it last time.... so I ask you once again, please show it to me."
  306. - Unlike eroge, there is no option to save or load -----
  307. - "............ okay. ..... then I'll show it to you.
  308. - But nevertheless, even after selecting another choice, there are still times when you can choose anew.
  309.  
  310.  
  311. - After a few minutes ----
  312.  
  313. - Me and Kirino, just like in the past, put the box in the middle and sat face to face.
  314. - That was a forbidden box containing Kirino's secrets. After opening the cover, all kinds of things were piled in it.
  315. - For example some kind of doujinshis, a 'Lovely❤Sister Angel' box (containing reports), an old iPod... and the album.
  316. - "This.... what's in it?"
  317. - I touched the cover of the album and asked.
  318. - Photos ---- or, something else.
  319. - "Who knows.... look for yourself?"
  320. - "Right.... then I just open it and look."
  321. - Rustle
  322. - I turned over the cover.
  323. - "This is...."
  324. - What I saw was...
  325. - "Old photos?"
  326. - "Mhm, right."
  327. - What was in that pretty thick album --- no, in this correct place, although unexpectedly, were the things that belonged in there, and not something else stuck in between, or put in other words, photos. Four photos on every page, photos from the past.
  328. - The years progressed with every page. And the gradual growth of the protagonists ----- mainly me and Kirino ---- could be seen.
  329. - At the same time ---- I had a strange kind of feeling.
  330. - "Mhm.... heh?"
  331. - "..... you noticed."
  332. - "No....."
  333. - ..... I thought that I remembered something, but -----
  334. - If it was a detective from some mystery novel, he probably would have remembered in an instant. But unfortunately my mind is not as good.
  335. - "I feel that something is wrong, only I can't put it in words. Please tell me."
  336. - I asked her directly.
  337. - "You, have seen our ---- dad's album?"
  338. - "..... I have"
  339. - That was during the first life-counseling session -----
  340.  
  341. - [----- Kirino's album? What's with it.]
  342.  
  343. - "Ah"
  344.  
  345. - [---- honestly, there is not a single photo with me in it.]
  346.  
  347. - "Ah, ah, ah...."
  348. - Ha! I, having returned from the memories, stared at the album before me.
  349. - "My, my photos!"
  350. - Right, inside dad's album, there was not a single one of [my photos], but in this one were very, very many. I originally thought dad did not like me------
  351. - "So they were all here!"
  352. - I was so startled that I asked out loud.
  353. - "Why are all my pictures here?"
  354. - "That.... neh"
  355. - Kirino whispered with a low voice, moved away her gaze and rolled her mouth.
  356. - "Because I love onii-chan's pictures the most."
  357. - "..... ku"
  358. - It felt like a knife had been stuck in my chest. This feeling was just too powerful and clear.
  359. - "Even though after I began to attend middle school, I have no longer put anything in."
  360. - Because then... she started to hate her aniki.
  361. - "I --------- see....."
  362. - I accepted all of this with a dull voice.... and continued to browse through the album.
  363. - Every picture that entered my eyes..... made me remember the time when those siblings had a very good relationship.
  364. - Felt just like, I had been taken back the past.
  365. - "Neh...."
  366. - "Mhm?"
  367. - "While you look at those, you can also listen to this .... here"
  368. - What Kirino gave me with one hand, was one part of an earpiece.
  369. - The other side was connected to the iPod.
  370. - "Put it on."
  371. - ".......... oh."
  372. - Are we..... listening to that together.
  373. - We each put on one half of the earpiece, sat next to each other and browsed through the pictures.
  374. - Slowly.
  375. - "As it is pretty old.... hopefully it's not broken."
  376. - "What's inside? Old songs?"
  377. - "................"
  378. - Kirino didn't answer me on the spot. If you say its hesitation, it seemed more like embarrassment.
  379. - "You, a long time ago... haven't you asked me? [Why all those imouto-type eroge?] or [Why do you like imoutos?] kind of questions.
  380. - "..... ah, ah"
  381. - The first questions I had, after I discovered my imouto's secret hobbies, were those.
  382. - This.... indeed is -----
  383.  
  384. - [But, but..... why?]
  385. - [Eh?]
  386. - [So I ask you, why do you like imoutos? Although I'm not saying this is bad.... those games you collect, are normally things only men buy, right? .... furthermore, this, aren't those over-18? No matter how you put it, this is radically different from the image you leave on other people. Why have you come to like ---- these kind of things? Was there a trigger, or a..... reason?]
  387. - [Mah, this.... this.... I, I don't know!]
  388.  
  389. - [You say you don't know, you... isn't it your matter?]
  390. - [Bu, but! I can't help it.... I really don't know... I don't know when, but I just started to like them... perhaps the trigger was some clip I saw at the door of a store...]
  391.  
  392. - -------- we once had such a discussion.
  393. - "Back then, even though I said [I don't know], but I didn't lie to you or something.... because, back then I still had something I couldn't tell you."
  394. - Kirino glanced at the iPod.
  395. - "The thing that couldn't be told, is just in there.... the last file."
  396. - Then
  397. - Before the siblings of old (us).... the recording began to play.
  398.  
  399. - [To the future me.]
  400.  
  401. - Is this a message from the past.
  402. - A far younger, Kirino's voice.
  403.  
  404. - [That.... where should I begin.... .]
  405.  
  406. - [Mhm, even though I think because it is me, so I should know, but, I want to leave a message for myself, in order to never ever forget today's thoughts.]
  407. - [If I forget today's thoughts, then I am no longer myself.]
  408. - [If the me listening to this, is no longer myself ----- even though I don't think it's possible ---- please listen to my voice and recollect everything.]
  409. - [This, feeling of absolutely not resigning.]
  410. - [This, feeling of absolutely not losing to you.]
  411. - [And, the matter of the onii-chan I love the most.]
  412.  
  413. - "Kirino... this..."
  414. - "Shut up. Don't speak."
  415.  
  416. - [The future me, when listening to this, is already the me of what time?]
  417. - [Is she already an adult? Or is she still only about a high schooler? What kind of job does she have? Has she turned out like onii-chan, able to run very, very fast?]
  418. - [Has she become like onii-chan, a cool while gentle onee-san?]
  419. - [Has she been able to surprise onii-chan, and caused him to say ----- very impressive, praising me like that?]
  420. - [The current me is still absolutely not capable yet ---- if I can turn out like this, I would be very happy.]
  421. - [Very, very, happy.]
  422. - [From today on, I will work hard towards achieving this.]
  423. - [Even though it may be very hard, but this dream has to be realized ---- that's what I have decided.]
  424.  
  425. - Kacha, Kirino stopped the recording.
  426. - "Until here, it was probably elementary school ----- around the third grade, when I recorded that. Before going abroad .... I originally wanted you to listen up till this spot."
  427. - "If back then I had listened to this .... and sen the album... what, what would you have done?"
  428. - "Mhm ~ .... I would have felt super-neat, and then perhaps wouldn't have returned to Japan."
  429. - "I see... then, then it was a the right decision to not listen... and not look at it."
  430. - ".... after this.... it's the me from around sixth grade."
  431. - That means, the Kirino shortly before the cold war had recorded this.... she's probably pointing to this.
  432. - Listening to that, will I understand [the reason for Kirino's love for imouto-type eroge]?
  433. - Kirino said
  434. - "That's the last part."
  435.  
  436. - [To the future me.]
  437. -[Listening to the message the past me has recorded, hah, I felt so embarrassed.]
  438. - [You now, after listening to that recording, recalling the 'me' of that time, do you also feel so embarrassed? ---- sorry, but, please listen carefully.]
  439. - [To the future me ---- have you married the man you love the most?]
  440. - [Today another person told me, that this is impossible. Even though I had told nobody, I had been informed like this.]
  441. - [I'm so pissed off.]
  442. - [But, the things this person said were very true... what should I do, so confusing.]
  443. - [Very irritating.]
  444. - [I would like to get some council from somebody, but no matter dad, mom, or the most reliable person, it is impossible to consult them at all. ..... Although they surely will pretend like nothing has happend, but even in that case, I can't tell them.]
  445. - [If it fails, then everything would have been wasted. Then it will turn out exactly like that person has said it will. I know it will surely turn out like this. So I'm very afraid.]
  446. - [There is definitely only one chance.]
  447. - [When the time comes, take out the courage.]
  448. - [And, please think of something. Please always ponder about it. And look for inspiration.]
  449. - [How should I do it, so that I avoid failure.]
  450. - [How should I do it, so that my dream can come true.]
  451. - [How should I do it, so that he will fall in love with me.]
  452. - [How should I do it, so that we can stay together forever.]
  453. - [The current me, still doesn't know.]
  454. - [Therefore.]
  455. - [I chose to consult the future me.]
  456. - [The me who has already become very strong ---- umm,]
  457. - [Asking the me who is listening to this.]
  458. - [Neh --------- I, what should I do?]
