Chapter 40 My Foolish Sister
Chapter 40 My Foolish Sister
"The Monkey's Paw" is a classic horror short story. It tells the story of a withered monkey's paw with magical powers that can grant its holder three wishes, but the wishes will be fulfilled in the most twisted and tragic way.
In the story, the protagonist's first wish is to receive £200, after which his only son dies, and the compensation is exactly £200. The protagonist then makes a second wish to resurrect his son, but what returns at midnight is a non-human creature. Finally, the protagonist uses his third wish to let his son rest in peace.
Shiraishi Saku knew that Sakura Nene had read this story, and he also knew that the silly girl would make a wish upon a chicken foot. Sure enough, when the doorbell rang downstairs, the girl rushed to his room in a panic.
When the video doorbell was turned on, in the dimly lit screen, Yukimiya Natsumi's long hair covered her face as she tapped her head against the doorbell panel. The girl shrank into Shiraishi Saku's arms in fear.
Ignoring his sister's objections, Shiraishi Saku let Yukimiya Natsune in through the door. Yukimiya Natsune raised her hands and lunged at her sister like a zombie.
The girl fled in panic, and Shiraishi Shuo's great revenge was achieved.
According to Shiraishi Saku's original plan, he would only reveal the truth after Yukimiya Natsune tackled her sister and the atmosphere reached its climax. Unexpectedly, the girl's stamina was even worse than he had anticipated. While her sister was still jumping around, the girl was already sitting on the ground, panting heavily.
Afterwards, Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune were severely scolded by their younger sister for half an hour.
……
"get up!"
In the early morning, Sakura Nene used the handle of a spoon to tap each of her two heads.
Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune sat up, rubbing each other's heads. They had only gone to bed in the early hours of the morning and were still a little sleepy.
The younger sister's voice was like a death knell, urging them to get out of bed, get dressed, and wash up.
When I went downstairs, today's breakfast came into view: a piece of bread and a glass of milk, no meat, not even jam, a stark contrast to yesterday's lavish breakfast.
"That's all we have today!" Sakura Nene was still furious.
Shiraishi Saku and Yukimiya Natsune sat down sensibly without objection.
The girl sat down angrily, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them, and took a big bite of her bread.
Although last night's events were exciting and even made her want to do it again, she couldn't let the fact that she had been tricked go unpunished.
"Sister Yukimiya, why are you just like brother!" Sakura Nene looked at the blonde girl with dissatisfaction.
She had assumed the girl was on her side, and if it had been her brother who had dressed up as a zombie last night, she would never have been fooled!
Yukimiya Natsune shifted the blame to Shiraishi Saku, maintaining her facade as a friend to her younger sister. The benefits of protecting her sister in Shiraishi Saku's hands last time were still fresh in the girl's mind, and she easily trusted her, believing it was all her brother's scheme.
My brother is so mean! Yukimiya-neechan is so much better!
"Why is Yukimiya-nee back?" she asked Yukimiya Natsune again. She was too angry last night and forgot to ask about the girl's return.
"I'm just showing up at home," Yukimiya Natsune replied.
"Didn't my family say anything?" Sakura Nene asked anxiously.
If she had a daughter… that’s a bit hard to imagine, she’s still young.
Correcting the assumption, if her brother ran away from home for half a month, she would definitely be furious, order him to come home, check his virginity, and reserve the right to sue.
If Yukimiya's family were normal, they would have reacted the same way.
Yukimiya Natsune shook her head: "They didn't say anything, just go back every few days."
Sakura Nene felt a surge of joy, meaning that Yukimiya-neechan would still be living with them. Then, a pang of pity washed over her; what kind of family could be so indifferent to their daughter?
She brought out three fried eggs from the kitchen and gave them all to Yukimiya Natsune.
After finishing breakfast and drinking milk, her gaze swept over the new phone next to Yukimiya Natsune's arm, and she took out her own phone.
"I want to add Yukimiya-neechan on LINE!" the girl stood up.
Yukimiya Natsune's phone was given to her by Asakura Chihaya. The case was a bright red, and you could tell whose taste it was without even guessing. Her adoptive mother really liked red.
She logged into Line and added the girl.
Now, in addition to Airi Asakura and Chihaya Asakura, her friend list has gained another friend, Nene Sakuraba.
The girl proudly held up her phone, showing off her new friend to Shiraishi Saku.
"That way, my brother can't stir up trouble!" she said, putting one hand on her hip.
If she had Yukimiya's LINE account last night, she could have found out the truth with just one question and wouldn't have been fooled by her brother.
After finishing the milk in his glass, Shiraishi Saku sighed at the girl's naiveté.
What do you mean by stirring up trouble? They're colluding from within and without!
He put down the glass: "Pack your sister Yukimiya's lunchbox. She's going to school today too."
"Huh? Where's the school uniform?" Sakura Nene looked at Yukimiya Natsume with a puzzled expression. The girl was wearing a dress.
Yukimiya Natsune replied, "I made it yesterday, I'll pick it up today."
Japanese school uniforms are not purchased collectively, but rather by partner stores designated by the school, and students purchase them by presenting their admission notices.
Each school has its own unique uniform. Morinogakari High School wears a navy blue Western-style uniform, consisting of a blazer and a pleated skirt. The mature and formal blazer paired with the youthful innocence of a girl on the cusp of adulthood creates a captivating and alluring look.
The junior high school uniform that Sakura Nene attends is a sailor uniform, light blue, which looks very energetic.
"The school uniform was just made, and you've only just started school?!" Sakura Nene walked into the kitchen and packed the lunchbox from the food storage container into a special lunchbox.
"Here you go!" She handed over the lunchbox, a hint of worry in her voice. "Is it okay to enroll now? Will I be ostracized?"
More than a month has passed since the start of the school year, and stable small groups have formed in the class. Yukimiya Natsune is considered a transfer student.
Don't be fooled by the fact that transfer students in anime are all popular figures. In reality, transfer students often struggle to integrate into established groups and have to endure long periods of loneliness while waiting for the group to take them in.
Yukimiya Natsune stroked her younger sister's hair. When school started, the girl had also nagged him about the teenage body, urging him to find a small group to join.
"I'm also in Mori no Oka," said Yukimiya Natsune.
"Ah, you go to the same school as my brother." Sakura Nene felt relieved.
The girl turned to look at Shiraishi Shuo, her expression serious: "School is a place for learning; you can't do anything impure!"
What kind of image do I have in your heart?
Also, why did you tell me to do this, but not her?
Shiraishi Saku pinched his younger sister's cheek. To some extent, the girl's body had become a higher priority in his sister's heart than the boy's body.
This is a good thing, proving that the young girl, the traitor, has infiltrated the enemy's core.
Yukimiya Natsune opened Line's activity feed, a feature similar to QQ Moments and WeChat Moments, and sure enough, there were several posts that couldn't be seen on the younger version.
They both marveled at the girl's innocence.
It was getting late, so Shiraishi Saku and Sakura Nene headed out to school, while Yukimiya Natsune waited for Asakura Chihaya to help her complete the final enrollment procedures.
