I'm Kousaka Kyousuke. I used to be quite a normal high school student. Why do I say that in the past tense, you ask—
——Yes.
Because right now, I'm the kind of ridiculous guy that is dating his little sister. Although there are various circumstances surrounding this.
—For now, it's fine.
It wouldn't be fun to reveal spoilers here.
The one thing that is certain is that right now, these feelings I hold are real. Feelings that will continue forever without changing.
Huh? Please don't talk to me in such a familiar manner.
...To think that I would end up like this with my little sister who used to act this way. Now that I think about it, we really have come a long way.
Only a short time has passed since that Christmas night. Today is January 1st, New Year's Day.
Happy New Year.
Hmm, Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Kyousuke.
I gave my New Year's greetings to my parents. Next,
You're late getting up... Happy New Year.
Yeah, Happy New Year, Kirino. Please take care of me this year as well.
Yeah, yeah.
Kyousuke.
Yes.
My dad held out a small bag to me.
Here's your New Year's gift.
Eh? For me?
My surprise wasn't unwarranted. I hadn't gotten any New Year's gifts for a long time now.
Yes, accept it.
No, I can't accept it. Why are you giving me one this year in particular?
It may have been an unnatural way to interact with a high school boy's parents, but I was disturbed at the direction the wind was blowing here.
Don't be so humble. Erm... It's because you've been working hard in various things.
It's true that I worked hard to study for my university entrance exams and managed to get an A. But still, his speech and tone were incomprehensible to me.
My dad is good at spotting lies, but bad at telling them.
Just accept it already. If you don't want it, I'll throw it away.
I-I get it! I'll take it! I'll take it!
Hmph, you should have obediently accepted it from the start.
Though this is all out of the blue, Kirino takes after my dad.
("New Year's Gift" has been added to your Items.)
...Just what the heck was that all about? Even if dad shows his affectionate side, it doesn't make me happy at all.
Well, even if I only mean that as a joke, just what was with dad's reaction back there, really?
I need quite a lot of money for a project I'm currently planning, so I'm grateful, but... it's still suspicious.
It... couldn't be...
Did he... find out that Kirino and I are dating?
N-No... That can't be. If that were true, it'd be strange for dad to act affectionate towards me.
After thinking about it, it could be that Dad found out about the "last part" of the promise between Kirino and I, but...
No matter how I think about, that can't be. Just when I thought that.
Yes.
Yo.
Hi.
What is it?
Hey, did you know that today is January 1st?
Huh? Didn't I say "Happy New Year" earlier?
Hmm, heh, so you did know.
.....................
So?
What a roundabout way of asking! This is like a quiz that Kirino only does with me all the time.
If I don't hurry up and give the "right answer", Kirino's mood will gradually worsen.
I had felt irritated because of this countless times over these past two years, summarized by the thought, "This damn girl, she's seriously bothersome".
Today is New Year's Day—So?
But now, I've come to find this bothersome part of her cute. Just a little, though.
Kirino.
Hmm?
1. Do you want a New Year's gift? 2. Let's go do our first shrine visit of the New Year. 3. Hug her gently.

Let's go do our first shrine visit of the New Year.
............
The two of us?
Yeah, the two of us.
............
Now then, was this answer the "right answer"...? Based on Kirino's reaction, it seemed that way.
Hmm~, the first shrine visit of the New Year, huh~. Wha~t should I do~~~~~?
Ayase also invited me. Saori and the others wanted to go visit the shrine with me as well.
This damn girl, she's seriously bothersome.
With all due respect to the others, you'll be going on the shrine visit with me.
H-Hoh... For what reason?
*sigh*... Geez, this girl. I get it. You wanted me to say this line from the start.
We're dating, so isn't it only natural?
...Y-You idiot. What are you saying inside the house?
Even though you wanted me to say it, you react like this.
So anyway, let's go visit the shrine.
You're being quite pushy. Even though you normally act like a lethargic protagonist.
Leave me be. I was like this back in the old days, wasn't I?
Hmm, that's true. I know that very well.
The way she said "I know" was short, but filled with confidence. That's right.
At the same time, we also had relationship where we were separated for a long time.
It seems contradictory, but we siblings came to have that kind of unique relationship.
Now then, shall we go out right away?
Wait a minute. You're too impatient. Unlike men, girls have to do more than just put on a jacket to prepare.
Yeah, yeah. Then go make your preparations for going out. I'll wait for you.
Hmm. Then, since mom and dad might get suspicious if we leave together, wait for me at the park.
After saying that, Kirino went to her room—no, it seemed she went downstairs.
A rendezvous, huh.
Our relationship is naturally a secret from our parents.
Since we've been doing well at camouflaging it, we definitely shouldn't get found out....... We shouldn't.
...So slow.
That Kirino, just how much time was she going to take to prepare? She's making me wait in the middle of the cold...
My rendezvous with her are always like this. This aspect of our relationship will probably never change.
I felt irritated so early in the New Year, but—that was all blown away in the next instant.
Sorry for making you wait!
——
The sight of my dressed up little sister made me speechless.
Hey, what's with that face? Come on, what do you think?
O-Oh... I guess, it's fine?
What's with that answer? It's too cliché.
Kirino put her hands on her hips angrily. Wait, so she took this long because she was putting this on?
You look so beautiful that I can't speak.
What's with that, you're exaggerating too much! Are you stupid!?
Geez, even when I praise her she gets angry. —Or that's how my old self would have complained.
I'm different now.
Yah.
I lightly chopped her on the head.
Oww, what are you doing?
Hiding my embarrassment. It's the same for both of us, so don't get angry. —Come on, let's go.
............
Kirino held her head with both hands and puffed her cheeks.
What?
When I asked that with a wry smile, Kirino pouted her lips,
What you did just now was somehow like your old self.
She said something unexpected.
Seeing the current you do something like the old "Onii-chan" is somehow annoying.
As if I care!
But, now that she mentions it, she might be right. What I did just now was a bit like the "old me".
But I see...Thinking back on it, the old me was very self-assured towards my little sister.
There's a big difference from our current situation where I'm completely dominated.
......Hmm.
You were thinking something bad just now, weren't you?
W-What do you mean?
Don't get carried away. There's no way we can return to our old relationship now after all this time, right?
That's true.
I immediately replied.
The current us might get along better than the old us.
But it's different from our former relationship as siblings... We can't turn back anymore. That much is obvious.
The little sister who always chased after my back is no longer here. Now, I'm the one chasing after the back of my little sister who's overtaken me.
She sometimes stops and looks over her shoulder—
Hey, what are you doing? I'll leave you behind!
—And says something arrogant like that.
Fu, yeah, yeah.
What are you laughing about?
Nothing. I just thought it was better that way.
Shall we go?
Yeah.
Thus, we headed to the shrine.
Today, we're walking side by side.
Wow~, it sure is crowded.
Of course it is, it's New Year's Day.
I guess. But, maybe we should have gone somewhere farther away. We might meet someone we know here.
You're just going to your first shrine visit of the New Year with your little sister. How is that bad?
That might be true when you put it that way, but still. I somehow feel on guard.
How gross. You're too self-conscious.
Shut up.
While we talked like that, we arrived in front of the shrine archway. After bowing, we entered into the temple compound.
We cleansed our hands, offered an incense stick, and finally headed to the altar. After bowing,
We threw in an offering,
And rang the bell. And then—
I prayed to God.
(May Kirino always be happy.)
(Ah, I'll fulfill this wish myself, so you don't really need to do anything.)
(But, if you can, please watch over us. Lend us your strength.)
(I'm an ordinary guy, so I'll work my best to fulfill my own wish. I'll rely on anyone and anything.)
(For the time being, may the "day of our graduation ceremony" be clear and sunny! Rain would be a little lame!)
—All right.
My prayer was over. It ended up being a bit long. But when I look next to me,
........................
.........H-Hey.
........................
............Phew... All right.
After continuing to mutter her prayer for several good long minutes, Kirino finally raised her head. She triumphantly wiped the sweat off her brow.
That was too long.
Eh?
Just how many wishes did you make?
Err, about 20?
She replied nonchalantly.
What a greedy girl.
It can't be helped. I have a lot of wishes. Rather, I have to make sure the 10,000 yen note I gave is properly repaid.
10,000 yen!? You... put a 10,000 yen note in the offerings box!?
Kirino gave me a peace sign,
Two of them.
Two of them!?
I'm too fired up!
Hey! It's embarrassing, so don't peek into the offerings box!
B-But.
Come on, let's go already.
I was pulled away from the offerings box by Kirino.
Geez, you're so primitive.
Well sorry. But... just what wishes did you make using all that time?
Eh? Like, may the eroge whose sale is currently being postponed be released properly next time.
Hey!
No! Just this! Just this is something I have no choice but to rely on God for no matter what!
I pre-ordered it since before I did my life consultation with you! I've been waiting for so, so long for the day of Master Up!
I-I see.
Although I really wanted to retort "Even though I wished for your happiness, you wished for that kind of thing!".
Kirino's bitterness over the "postponed release of eroge" is quite menacing, so I lost the will to do so.
Since I've waited this long, may it be a super-masterpiece. I seriously pray for this to God, to the game makers, and to the game writers!
...Hey, Kirino... Is it really all right to be using 10,000 yen for that kind of wish?
Eh? What did you say?
Kirino replied readily.
Of course I didn't use all 20 of my wishes for eroge.
T-That's true.
I also made sure to make wishes related to Meruru.
Hey!
......I also made sure to make my most important wish.
———
By the way, may I ask what your most important wish was?
If you tell me what you wished for.
She asked me 'What will you do?' using just her gaze. I opened both my eyes widely, and after thinking for a short while...
It's a secret.
I see. Then mine's also a secret.
Geez... We two siblings really do resemble each other.
The next place we headed to was the written fortune shop counter.
What did you get? Show me.
It says good luck, look.
Puh, good luck! That kind of commonplace fortune is just like you!
Shut up. Then what about you?
Me? I obviously got great luck. Rather, for the past several years, I've only gotten great luck fortunes here!
Seriously? That's incredible.
There are people blessed by god like that.
Well, that's just like you.
My love fortune is also great! It says 'The person you've been waiting for will come'!
Oh, mine says the same thing.
Well, rather than will come, he's already arrived, though.
.........
W-What?
No, it's because she said it like it was obvious. I was just surprised.
I smiled a little, and said this.
Yeah, that's true.
Very ordinary, commonplace days. My beloved peace was there. At the same time, though, it was also in the middle of extraordinary, stormy days.
Ah, that's right.
Kirino seemed to have thought of something then.
Let's exchange my great luck and your good luck.
Why?
Fufu, that's—
"The super amazing me is fine even without great luck. That's why I'll give this to you."
"That way you can be at ease without crying."
Those lines seemed to originally belong to someone else——but I had no clue as to who.
("Fortunes" have been added to your Items.)
After returning from the shrine visit, we went to the nearby park due to Kirino's suggestion since she had the rare chance to be dressed up (rather, she forcefully dragged me here).
As for what we did there—
—It's just as you see.
Yah.
Kuh.
Yah!
Guh.
Yah.
Damn it...!
Hehe, my win again♪
Damn it! You move too well!
This is why I didn't want to play a sport like Hanetsuki (Japanese badminton)!
It's because you're a blockhead with insufficient exercise~. Come on, hold out your face.
Yeah, yeah, do whatever you want.
Kirino scribbled on my face with ink.
I don't know what she wrote, but... She was making a happy face.
I've been constantly losing to my little sister since earlier, so my face should be all scribbled over by now.
Wait, since earlier, you've been writing letters on my face.
Eh~? What are you talking about~?
Don't play dumb. You have a mirror, right? Lend it to me for a bit.
Hihihi, if you beat me, I'll lend it to you. Come on, let's play again♪
You little... how interesting. Let's do it!
I easily responded to her provocation. Even if I know my chances of winning are dark, there are times when a man has to answer the challenge!
Yah!
Kuh.
Yah!
Guh.
Yah.
Damn it...!
This is the end—!
Aaaaaah!
Fuhihi, I win♪
Damn it! I can't win!
Why does losing to my little sister in a game like this feel so vexing?
Come on, the loser has to quickly hold out their face.
Damn it, I'll remember this... I'll definitely beat you at least once.
Y-You want to scribble something embarrassing on your little sister's face that much. Gross.
No, normally I'd just write O or X, though...
What's with this reaction?
Just... what did you write on my face?
I felt an intense feeling of unease.
Eh? Ah, it's nothing to make a big deal over?
Liar! Look me in the eye when you speak! Or hand over your mirror!
I-I said it's nothing! Rather, we have to return home soon! I promised dad I'd let him take pictures of me dressed up like this.
I'm sure that dad is super-looking forward to taking pictures of you dressed up, but! You're clearly trying to change the topic!
And then—as we siblings were talking together like this.
??: Oh, here you here! Hey, Kousaka!
An unexpected voice called out to me.
Hey there.
If it isn't Sakurai.
For those who don't know her, let me introduce her. This is Sakurai Akimi. My classmate from middle school.
As for what kind of person she is—
This is the natural form of the Sakurai that I know. How about it, isn't she slovenly?
It seems like she's improved somewhat now, but in middle school, she was an unparalleled lazy girl that didn't go to school because she thought it was troublesome.
The me back then would go meet her every morning along with Manami, presented her with collected signatures from all our classmates,
Went to the game center she frequented, and basically worked hard in order to correct this truant girl.
That episode in my middle school days that I passed with Sakurai, and also Manami, was one of the big causes that changed the former hot-blooded young boy Kousaka Kyousuke into the [current me].
And in addition, it was also the underlying cause for how I came to be like this with my little sister, but—
I'll stop recounting my painful yet important middle school memories here. It's a long story, after all.
If you're still interested no matter what, then please read volume 11 of the original work "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute".
Sakurai and I—
Sakurai Akimi! Likes! Kyousuke Kousakaaaaaaaa!!
Settled the love crossing three years. And swore to meet again as normal friends.
Facing such a person, I first asked this.
Why are you here?
You did well to ask! But first, I have something I want to ask you!
Kousaka, what's with that incredible face? You trying to look like Naoe Kanetsugu?
Naoe Kanetsugu? Why do you use that hard to know example?
Eh, you don't know? When mentioning Naoe Kanetsugu, that world's coolest helmet of his is always...
Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't!!!
Oops.
Shush! Sakurai-san, shush!
.........Ah, yes, yes, so it's like that.
All right, Kiririn-***. I'll keep quiet.
Phew, thank you.
Hey... there's a lot of things I want to retort to, you know?
Firstly, just what did she scribble on my face? And also,
Why are you two getting along so well?
Even though they should have only met once during Christmas at Akiba.
After that time, we coincidently met each other several times at that game center in Akiba. Here, wipe your face with this.
Kirino said that while handing me a white tissue. I gratefully wiped my face,
Now that you mention it...
I'm often here. Come meet me again sometime.
You did say something like that.
Even though I said "come meet me" to Kousaka, for some reason the little sister came instead.
No, that's because when I go to Akiba, I usually go to the game center, and Sakurai-san is always there.
I waited! Since I promised! Kousaka! And yet you never came, so today I came to meet you myself!
It's true that our parting that time had the feeling of "see you tomorrow", but.
............
It's hard to tell her that I didn't intend to go meet her until my graduation ceremony was over.
Well, anyway. I met Sakurai-san several times, and while listening to her complain about you not coming to meet her, we became friends.
I see.
Rather, Kiririn-***! Based on Kousaka's reaction, you didn't tell him my message at all!? What's the meaning of this!?
Eh? As if I could tell him that. Sakurai-san may be my friend, but in regards to this matter you're my enemy.
...Kuh... Y-You brocon little sister!
Hey, what's this about a message?
A message saying 'The super-cute Akimi-chan is lonely, so come see her♪'!
Even though you were completely rejected, you're way too bad at giving up, you old hag.
Who's an old hag, heeeeeeey! There's only a three year difference between us!
Eh~? To a middle school girl like me, a high school girl is an old hag, though.
I-In a few months, you'll become an old hag too!
How unfortunate♪ I alone am an exception. Kiririn is eternally fifteen-years-old.
Uuuuuuuuuuuugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
The bear girl Sakurai shouted with a 'I'm going to devour you' pose.
Super annoying! Just watch, future sister-in-law! If the person I like has a person he likes, I just need to wait until they break up!
Hey! Kousaka!
Sorry, but with that stance, you'll never be able to get a boyfriend.
W-Well, just listen! Today is New Year's Day, so I prepared a special plan!
Why do this girl's entreaties to men sound so much like business talk?
Last time, I introduced my ideal date "The Futon Date".
By the way, skipping school and spending time while doing nothing but flirting and idling around together in a futon bed is the plan that Sakurai boasts of.
I introduced a dream-like date in my eyes, but Kousaka's reaction was a bit weak! So!
This time, I powered up my plan even further!
Tada! Its name is the "Just Slightly Ecchi Sleeping Together Date"!
H-Hoh... Let's hear it.
Please imagine it.
A night on a certain day... Sleeping in bed, you awaken due to having trouble sleeping.
And there next to you is your girlfriend in pajamas, breathing quietly in her sleep.
Huh? Isn't it not much different than the last one?
...And what if, at some point without realizing it, your clothes had been removed?
!!!
And——
What if, when you look closely, your girlfriend's pajama buttons have come off?
Amazing!! It's like an eroge!!!
You gulp. And then, your girlfriend clings to you little by little...
And whispers your name in your ear.
Uhohoo~! This is super-bad! So ***!
Right, right?
After that? What happens after that!?
Of course you sleep together till morning with your heart racing! So, what do you think? Of this super-amazing dream-like plan!
Where do they sell that eroge!? I'm definitely buying it!
Nowhere! It's not an eroge! It's reality!
Then going out with Sakurai-san will have that experience in reality!?
Exactly!
Eh~, what should I do~?
Why are you the one getting conflicted!? I'm not proposing this to you, but to your brother!
Whoops... that was close. I almost got caught in the mood of playing an eroge.
She was frolicking.
So anyway! Kousaka! Are you interested in going out with me?

Whaaaaaaat!!
A plan of this level isn't capable of moving my heart.
T-This kind of chance won't come again! Is that really okay with you!?
Yeah.
Seriously...?
Damn it! I'm not going to school after winter break due to receiving too much shock! It's Kousaka's fault!
Don't blame others.
After grasping her head in anguish, Sakurai pointed at us,
I'll remember this! Kousaka siblings! Just wait for my next date plan!
She ran and left. Watching a bear run away was a really surreal scene.
She's an eccentric person as usual.
You got that right... But, you know.
Huh?
I said that to Sakurai, but...
The "Just Slightly Ecchi Sleeping Together Date"...... I wanted to do it, damn iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!
I thought that was definitely the case! You ruined the way you refused in such a cool manner!
I held myself back until Sakurai was gone, so it's fine.
It isn't! Keep acting cool to the end! Rather...
We did the [Futon Date], but... This one we w-won't do this time!
As she said that, Kirino's expression was as bright red as it could possibly be.
This was how we passed our New Year's morning.
