Reincarnated cheat is a demon king!!~ I want to be said to be my brother (heart) for my second life!!~ - Chapter 0
“Kyaaaah!”
When my sister cried out like that, I was flying through the air.
Let me make it clear that I’m not a gymnast, and my sister wasn’t cheering me on with a high-pitched voice.
I was flying through the air, but it was far from a graceful way of flying.
To begin with, this was the first time my sister had spoken to me in a week.
Well, if you can call this scream a conversation…
She usually ignores me completely.
I guess it’s no wonder that a 25-year-old brother who’s a NEET and an otaku is treated that way.
My sister, who is seven years younger than me, is a high school student, which means she’s at that age.
She probably doesn’t want to walk next to me and have people think we’re brother and sister.
She’s a little sassy and feisty, but even I can say that she’s pretty.
Going back a little bit, my sister Miki and I happened to meet at an intersection near our house and it was awkward.
She was probably on her way home from high school.
Of all times, it had to be a red light.
“Oh… hey, Miki, are you heading home now too?”
I said “you too” as if I was being condescending, but I was just going to the convenience store nearby.
Since I’m a NEET, that’s about the only reason I have to go out.
I opened my mouth to try to maintain at least some authority as a big brother, but she gave me a quick glance and took out her cell phone and started fiddling with it.
I had no choice but to start fiddling with my phone too, but sadly I don’t have many real-life friends… or rather, I don’t have any, so I ran out of things to do right away and it got even more awkward.
I sighed and looked around, and my eyes fell on a large truck coming toward us from across the street.
(What’s that doing swerving so much… huh? No way, wait a minute!!)
The truck was headed straight toward us at an incredible speed.
Miki was still fiddling with her phone and hadn’t noticed it yet.
“Miki!!!”
I shouted.
But all I got back was her usual cold stare.
(Damn it!!!)
Family is a strange thing.
Even when you’re hated this much, it’s impossible to predict what you’ll do when it comes down to it.
Before I knew it, I had pushed Miki out of the way and was flying through the air in her place.
I flew for about 30 meters, landing on the asphalt and rolling.
The truck crashed into the convenience store nearby, and there was a huge commotion around it.
I could see Miki in the distance, and she seemed to be alive.
I realized that I was rapidly losing feeling in my body.
(So… I’m going to die… me…)
Oh… This is so stupid, dying for a sister like that…
I’m really an idiot…
Miki came running toward me.
That’s right… she used to be cute, always following me around.
Because of the age difference, she really was a cute little sister.
I’m sorry, Miki… I wanted to be a big brother that you could be proud of too, I’m sorry.
So… don’t cry anymore.
Miki’s face, looking at me, was wet with tears.
Seeing that, I closed my eyes, slightly satisfied.
And so, my 25 years of life came to an end.
If I’m ever reborn, I want to be a cool big brother that my sister can be proud of.
At the very least, I want to be a big brother that she’ll say “I love you, big brother!!” to every once in a while.
I wished that with all my might.
