OniAi: Volume 2 Chapter 1.1

Chapter 1.1

April 8th, 7:00 A.M.

Day After the Opening Ceremony

‟Brother-complex is indeed inconvenient, but it’s definitely not a curse!”

It was morning at the dining table in the caretaker’s room of the St. Ririana Academy’s students’ hostel.

My rather incompetent sister suddenly said that with her eyebrows arching up.

‟Many have the misconception that having a brother-complex = having a curse. There are even some narrow minded people who firmly believes that brother-complex is some sort of mental illness. People that had committed such serious errors have repeatedly appeared, and that’s the sad truth. But, even so, we should never give in. We should firmly maintain our stance, and fight against such prejudice to the end.”

‟…”

Upon hearing my sister’s grand speech all of the sudden, I stopped my hands from eating breakfast,

‟Well, I don’t really understand what you’re talking about, but I’ll just say this: brother-complex isn’t something that wonderful, alright? You can’t openly be in love.”

‟Hmph. It’s something that I already know… but Onii-chan is one of those pitiful people who’s plagued by the sickness called common sense. That’s probably the only weakness of my brother whom I’m deeply in love with.”

‟But if you’re a bro-con, your won’t be able to have healthy children, right? The fact is, the union of genes between two closely related relatives will result in the hindrance of the development of future generations. That had been already proven by both history and science.”

‟Yes, that! I was about to talk about that!”

‟Stop waving your fist and chopsticks about. That’s rude.”

‟It’s this very taboo that makes such passionate love even more exciting!”

My sister ignored my reminders and continued on.

‟I dare say this: brother-complex is a gift from god, an irreplaceable talent.”

‟Aha.”

‟Indeed, I’d occasionally suffered from gratuitous criticisms due of the fact that I’m a bro-con. There are occasions when I’m treated unfairly by people subconsciously as well, and so I’m unable to take revenge on them. I’ve to admit, this is something rather inconvenient in regards to my everyday life.”

‟Rather than talking about all these things, why are you not eating? The food will become cold if you don’t eat it quickly, you know?”

‟But, you can’t say that it’s a curse or anything! Everyone doesn’t know what sort of happiness I’d been enjoying everyday due to me loving Onii-chan a lot! As someone who treats my blood related brother as a member of the opposite sex and loving him deeply for that, they’d no idea what sort of glorious life I’ve been living!”

‟… You know, it shouldn’t matter even if the opposite party isn’t me, right? The amount of happiness that you feel will be the same even if the other half isn’t blood related to you.”

‟No, you’re totally wrong! It’s against morals, but that’s the perfect reason why we can savor absolute happiness! Also, would anyone find a romance enchanting if it was smooth sailing? The answer is none, absolutely no one!”

‟Ara. This morning’s rice is really delicious.”

I’d realized this conversation won’t end anytime soon.

I ignored my sister’s speech, and changed the subject.

‟Each and every grain of rice is plump and glossy. It’s obviously different from those of the past. Could it be that you’d switched to another type of rice?”

‟Please Onii-chan. This tactic will no longer work, you know?”

*Che che che*, my sister wiggled her index finger.
