It seems my sister can freely change her form, and she came out of the room, about the size to fit in the palm of my hand.
As expected from her shadowy appearance.
And it seems I’ve developed a tolerance too, as I don’t feel any chills.
「Sorry, Onii-chan.」
「It’s fine, really.」
It’s been like this for a while now.
My sister keeps apologizing while physically shrinking.
If this made me feel terribly sick, it would be a different story, but I’m not particularly troubled. Well, it’s now confirmed that the girl next to me will be a lump of meat for a year, but if she wasn’t human to begin with, she can’t be a heroine, so it’s not a problem.
Afterwards, she──I don’t know if she has a gender given her form, but since she’s my sister, she must be female──who had been shrinking for a while, seemed to regain her composure after I repeatedly said I forgave her.
Darkness gushes out from within her, and she hugs me cutely saying, “Thank you!”
I no longer feel chills.
However, since she’s darkness, there’s an associated image of coldness.
When she clings to me, I could feel my body temperature being drained from where our skin touched.
It seems it would be convenient on a hot summer day.
Sitting on my ordinary bed, I faced my sister, who had grown to about 150 centimeters, and we discussed the future.
When I asked if she would tell our parents about her existence, she said she couldn’t do that to the people she loves so much, as it would require her to wander between life and death once again.
In my case, it was just that she couldn’t control her power. It’s not like she was aiming to kill me.
「Ehehe, Onii-chan.」
「What?」
「Just calling you.」
It’s a conversation like a newly dating couple, but it seems she’s hungry for conversation with someone, having not talked to anyone for over ten years.
My sister stretches her jet-black arms and wraps them around my neck.
If she were to exert her monstrous power, I might be killed right here.
「…Hey, Onii-chan.」
「Hmm.」
「I have one request.」
Monsters of her kind have a common trait of having a cute voice.
In other words, with my eyes closed, I have the illusion that there’s an incredibly beautiful girl sister right in front of me. It’s an illusion though.
「I want to try going to school.」
「Hmm.」
「Is that not okay?」
Having never gone outside since she was born, she wants to try going to the school she’s only heard about. She must have developed a longing from dramas and manga.
For me, it doesn’t seem like a problem.
It would be a different story if she were to scatter miasma around and spread harm like she did to me.
「That’s not a problem. I’m absorbing most of the miasma that Onii-chan generates.」
「Eh, what’s that about?」
I haven’t heard about this.
Have I become some kind of deodorant creature?
「It doesn’t affect your health. Once you get close to strange forms, you become more and more attractive to them. That’s why the miasma that is generated tends to approach Onii-chan.」
「Heeh.」
Then it’s okay.
Not really okay, but.

If it doesn’t change the current situation, then it’s fine, isn’t it?
The classmate next to me is a lump of meat, the younger sister of that girl who clearly seems to hate me is a zombie, and my own sister is like darkness or a ghost.
Nothing strange at all.
This is what people call escapism.
Since my sister said no one else could see her, I decided to take her to school tomorrow.
When I told her that, she stretched her tentacles happily.
Unlike Nanaka’s, they have a delicate appearance. Nanaka’s are meaty.
As we talked, night fell, and it was time to sleep.
Not wanting to affect tomorrow, I crawl into bed.
It’s ethically wrong to sleep together. My sister wanted to, but I gently told her to go back to her own room.
I must have been more tired than I thought because as soon as I close my eyelids, drowsiness overtakes me.
My consciousness slowly fades and drifts away.
My body sinks into the bed──.
◇
I woke up.
It was a very refreshing morning.
To be honest, I’m not a morning person.
That’s why I usually wake up just in time to avoid being late and often skip breakfast.
I know it’s bad for my health… but I wanted to indulge in laziness even more.
「Good morning, Onii-chan.」
However, it seems I didn’t wake up by my own power, as darkness stands by my pillow, looking down at me in a good mood.
For a moment, my thoughts fly, wondering if I’m going to be killed like this.
Ah, it’s my sister.
「Morning.」
Even though I feel refreshed, my brain is slow to function.
After a few seconds of thinking, I finally remembered my sister’s existence.
As I pull down the comforter, I open my mouth.
「Morning!」
Spinning around, my sister left the room saying, “Breakfast is ready.” Looking at the clock, it’s still around seven. Plenty of time to eat breakfast.
Did she make the meal? It should have been my sister who said she didn’t want to reveal her existence, but why is she doing something that exposes it?
I think as I go down the stairs.
「Seems like mom and dad aren’t here today.」
「…Ahh, come to think of it, they said they were going on a business trip.」
Only my sister was in the living room.
Usually, my father is reading the newspaper while drinking coffee, and my mother is making breakfast while humming.
Well, I haven’t seen that scene recently because I don’t wake up.
My sister, who looks like a shadow standing up with substance, seems to actually have substance.
Shadows and darkness don’t seem like they can touch things, but she skillfully manipulates her tentacles to flip a frying pan.
A perfectly shaped fried egg danced in the air.
「Here you go.」
On the plate are golden-brown toast and a fried egg.
Probably to avoid war, nothing is put on the fried egg.
Swallowing a little saliva, I put my hands together and said, “Itadakimasu”.
