Chapter 17: My Little Brother’s Dream 3
Translator: Soafp
“Mom… what are you doing?”
“Nothing! Nothing at all! Don’t look! Don’t look! Go over there! Quickly!”
“Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing?”
“Oh, oh, Nagisa really does resemble me a lot.”
“Haha… Stop it, stop it, Dad! Please! Go away, Nagisa! Go away! Go away, I said!”
“Hey, that outfit is cute.”
“This one? It’s too small now, so I’m giving it to my brother.”
“I see. What kind of child is your brother?”
“Look, over there in the yellow tent. The one crying by Mom.”
“Your brother? Not a younger sister?”
“Ah, Kai-chan is… a girl at heart.”
“Heh, I see. …By the way, you're cute too, Nagisa-chan.”
“Me?”
“Yeah…. I want to go for a walk, Nagisa-chan. You’re Kai-chan’s big sister, right?”
“Mom, Onee-chan took Kai-chan’s toy again.”
“It's not like that, Kai-chan. This doll is small, see? Kai-chan might eat it. It's still too early for you. I need to protect you. So, don't cry. I'm just keeping it safe for you. Just keeping it safe.”
“Onee-chan, Onee-chan!”
“Kai-chan! Don't go, Kai-chan!”
“Where are you going?”
“To the station. To the rotary in Minami-Osawa.”
“Kai-chan! Kai-chan!”
“Onee-chan, Onee-chan!”
“Kairi, put your hand away. I'm closing the door.”
“What about Onee-chan? Mom?”
“Nagisa doesn't need to come, so she won't.”
“No, Mom, give Kai-chan back!”
“… Can I close the door?”
“Nagisa-chan… ? Nice to meet you, I'm Miyuki Shimada. I'll soon be Miyuki Arahama. Nice to meet you, okay?”
“… Who are you?”
“Nagisa, don't talk like that. …She's going to be your new mom.”
“… I already have a mother…”
“I'll be your new mom soon. Let's get along, Nagisa-chan.”
“……”
“How was the graduation ceremony?”
“It was the worst. Even though Mom bought me this blouse and skirt, everyone kept staring and whispering.”
“It's awful. But Onee-chan is on Kai-chan's side. Forget about those people. Just look at me.”
“… Yeah. Well, okay.”
“Onee-chan, how do you think this outfit looks? Is it nice? This floral pattern is grown-up, and the sleeves are really cute. …I think I can afford it with my allowance.”
“It's still too early for you. The usual bear one suits you better.”
“Onee-chan, I'm already in second year of middle school. I want to wear cute clothes.”
“I know what suits you, Kai-chan. Leave it to me.”
“… Fine, I understand. Oh, by the way, the teacher said it's okay. I can wear a sailor suit.”
“That's great! I'm glad your dream came true!”
“… Yeah. …I'm glad…”
“It's terrible, it's terrible, Onee-chan! I trusted you! I've always trusted you!”
“It's not like that, Kai-chan. Everything is for your sake. Okay? Trust me, Kai-chan. I'm always on your side.”
“No, no! Don't come near me, don't touch me! Noooo!”
“Nagisa-chan, Nagisa-chan.”
“What is it, Aunt?”
“Kairi-chan has passed away. Just now, from the hospital.”
“…You're his big sister, right? You can protect him, right? Your little brother.”
