Chapter 4 – Good morning x consensus –
Translated by Devxtt
Edited by zirmir
Next morning. After the most shocking day of my life,
A faint smell interrupts my sleep.
It is the smell of miso.
When I looked at the kitchen, I saw my sister wearing the same apron as yesterday and pouring the miso soup she made yesterday in a pot.
“Ah. Good morning. Onii-san.”
“O…..”
Her smile is gentle like the morning sun.
She looks like my girlfriend, it makes my heart flutter.
I call her name in order to shake off these overlapping emotions.
“Good morning. Shigure!”
“Did you sleep well yesterday? Or were you excited by the fact that your cute little sister was sleeping over there and couldn’t sleep?”
“… I don’t know.”
“Really? Fufu, that’s okay. Well, breakfast is ready. I’ll put it on the table, so please get away from the futon.”
When she told me, I got out of the futon.
I’m tired.
I told her it’s nothing, but that was a lie.
Beyond the sliding door, a girl with the same face as my girlfriend was sleeping.
No way.
However, the time to be aware of it was unexpectedly short.
It is because before I went to bed yesterday, I knew the nature of Haruka and Shigure. They are similar but not quite the same.
Their personalities are polar opposite that, no matter how they lookalike, only I can see the difference.
Well, It felt like I should do well as her family.
But there is an uneasy feeling, what will happen if Haruka’s existence is known to this devil.
The reason for my lack of sleep, is because I was worried about Haruka, not Shigure.
….So, how should I explain this situation to Haruka?
It’s an unavoidable problem and also very difficult.
What will she think? If she learns that I, her boyfriend is living with a girl who look exactly like her.
To be honest, I’m worried.
But this isn’t good for me, and it’s not something I could do with my own strength.
If I talk to Haruka she would understand.
And if I have to talk, it’s better to do it as early as possible.
Not on LINE. But face to face.
I’ll talk to her around the noon.
At 2 o’clock at midnight, I managed to conclude my worries.
That’s why I’m feeling tired.
I put away the futon while rubbing my sleepy eyes. Then set up the table.
Today’s menu is white rice, yesterday’s miso soup, fried egg, and shredded cabbage.
It’s been years since I’ve eaten steaming rice in the morning.
Maybe because my mother was still alive.
“……..Thank you. We will decide the household duties.”
“I’d like to ask you, what was your breakfast when you were alone?”
“It was either bread or nothing.”
“I understand. I can’t leave the kitchen to you, Onii-san. Let’s divide the work instead of the duties. I cook and do laundry. Onii-san will take care of the trash and washing the dishes. How is it?”
“If Shigure is fine with it.”
“Well, let’s go with this.”
We ate breakfast while deciding the rules for communal living.
Like yesterday dinner, Shigure’s food is really delicious.
Last night’s main dish was grilled salmon. This morning it’s fried eggs and miso soup.
I don’t think there’s much room to think about my cooking. Even if we cook the same dishes, her cooking skills are extraordinary.
The salmon was thick and sweet without being dry, and today’s fried egg is thick and soft-boiled.
The miso soup is also fragrant, and the texture of the enoki mushrooms* cut into short pieces is delicious.

She’s a real deal. Even if her name is not Haruka, Shigure is my sister.
I’m sure, I have become a pretty bad brother.
When I was wondering, Shigure put down her chopsticks and talk to me.
“By the way, Onii-san. I have an important thing to say before going to school.”
“Hm? What?” “
“Today, I’ll be going to Seiun as well.”
Seiun. There is only one place in the area called by that name.
Seiun High School. The school I go to.
It is a prestigious private school that is well known in Kanagawa prefecture.
“I see, then our school is the same.”
“In the same class as well. Onii-san is in a special promotion, right?”
“Seriously?”
There is only one special promotion class in the Seiun.
Once you enter the special promotion, you will remain in the same group for the next two years.
“That means we’ll see each other all the time.”
“Yes. That’s why, Onii-san. I want to keep it a secret that we became brother and sister.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“You’re not thinking right. Well, our parents remarried but we just met yesterday. If you learn that a boy and a girl are living together, she would be the boy’s side dish. Right!”*
[TN: 男子の格好のズリネタ . Here zurineta is a slang word which means a material of masturbation]
“Bo~o!”
Miso soup! Miso soup went into my nose …!
“You, Girls don’t use such words!”
“It’s a fact, so I can’t say anything else. Anyway, I don’t want to carry that kind of name from the first day of school.”
Well, it’s certainly an easily predictable future.
As an active high school boy, I can guarantee with confidence.
Shigure’s concerns are right.
“… In other words, do we have to lie?”
“No, you don’t have to tell a lie. It will be a hassle when a lie is unexpectedly revealed and we have to match the lies of two people. Just don’t say it. If the teacher asks in advance, keep silent. Fortunately, our surname is “Sato”. It’s a common surname, so if we don’t say it, they won’t notice.”
“Okay, I don’t mind,”
There is no reason to refuse.
I don’t want to be used by my classmates for their silly delusions.
Even though it’s a rumor without roots and leaves, I don’t want Haruka to hear this.
So the reason for refusing Shigure’s proposal is…….
Ah. No wait.
I can’t promise not to tell anyone.
Haruka has to know, and there are other people who visit this house frequently.
“I’m sorry. I promise I won’t say it randomly, but there are people I want to talk to. They’re the ones who visit this house all the time. I want to talk to them anyway sooner or later. I will include it.”
I didn’t name Haruka because if she finds out that I have a girlfriend who looks exactly like her, She will make that nasty face again.
I’m not going to hide it, but I don’t want to tell her directly.
Shigure looked a little dissatisfied with my confirmation.
“… Friend, can he keep the secrets?”
“I can trust him more than you in that regard.”
“……. It can’t be helped. It’s okay. However, you have to give me a good morning kiss on my cheek as an apology.”
Shigure grinned with a devilish smile.
This girl, doing that kind of thing again …!
“I’m telling you not to do that…..!”
“Aha. Why is your face bright red? Isn’t it just a greeting to kiss your family member’s cheeks? It’s normal overseas.”
“I don’t like the kind of tone that I have to do it in Japan because they’re doing it overseas!”
“I suppose you simply don’t have the nerve to kiss a girl’s cheek. But if you don’t listen to my selfishness, I won’t give you permission. Right? What do you want? Weak Onii-san!”
“No, Don’t underestimate me! To that extent…. nevermind!”
It’s a lie. I can’t do it.
It’s hard for me to get up just by holding the girl’s hand.
But now it’s confirmed what is her taste.
I can tell by looking at her face.
She’s grinning while watching me troubled.
She doesn’t want me to kiss her.
She’s just having fun watching me getting embarrassed.
If I don’t do it, she will go high.
..…This is not good.
I have to tell her. If I don’t teach her the meaning of ‘a cornered rat will bite a cat’*, I will be swayed for the rest of my life.
[TN: 窮鼠猫を噛む]
I pretend to be strong, put my hand on the table, and stretched my upper body.
And then, I move close to Shigure who turned her cheeks as if to say ‘Hore-Hore.’
“………….”
What is wrong with this white wobbly cheek.
This guy is the same person.
No, don’t come any closer.
I’m so scared of this, I’m getting teased.
I will do it at once and for all. And leave it to the momentum.
I am embarrassed. I bring my lips close to the cheek.
At the moment, the refreshing scent of the shampoo drifted softly.
I stopped moving.
Because the scent was the same as Haruka.
Damn it, not only the face but also the smell.
A bitter sense of guilt grows in my chest.
Though she is my step-sister, and its her cheek, I’m kissing the girl who just met yesterday.
I’ve never even kissed Haruka.
Isn’t this a betrayal to Haruka?
Can I do this and will I be able to face her during lunch break?
“Yes, yes! Stop!”
“U~o?”
I was lost in my thoughts and Shigure pushed me back.
She makes an awkward face.
“Oh my! Onii-san! You think I’m serious! It’s obviously a joke. Isn’t kissing for someone you like?”
“Oo, you told me to do it.”
“Don’t tell me you’re serious about it. Onii-san you pervert ☆”
“….. I’m feeling the urge to hit a woman for the first time in my life.”
“Kyaaaa! No Domestic Violence…. Well I’m sure it was my bad. I’m sorry.”
Immediately Shigure bow her head.
“You are free to tell your friends. If you think you need it, you can talk to anyone. It’ll be enough if you don’t tell to the public.”
Then I got up and started cleaning up the dishes.
…… Somehow I became obedient.
What happened?
I don’t think I’m shy.
Understanding a girl’s heart is too difficult for me.
