Chapter 9 : Creepy brothers are creepy !

One of the few things I learned by traveling with neechan, is when she gets serious, ridiculous things happen, and you're better off running.

When neechan tells you to run, the situation is indeed serious.

And she's the one who decided bringing me along when invading another country to beat up one of their major deities was a good idea.

So I ran as fast as I could and screamed what she told once I got out?

"Yuri's making out with...!"

"WHAT ?!"

I don't even...

Thor, the blonde, blue eyed brother of Freyja appeared before me and shook me like a tree.

"Who dares to sully my beautiful heavenly lily ?! Tell me you stupid cat!"

I feel ill. Stop you...

**urk**

That was my dinner. Well, that got him off me , I suppose.

"Shut up you disgusting sister lover! Freyja's fighting off demons and a hacker, she asks for divine reinforcements asap, she won't be able to hold much longer before she gets captured."

Might be a bit of a stretch with the capture, but that should get him to start to work.

Shivers started crawling up my spine and I saw the light in his eyes disappear.

"Oh?"

!!!

That low voice, that peculiar inflection, the sheer disdain for everything dripping out of a single syllable !

Oh god, queen mode is a family trait.

"They dare take what is ours? They dare ignore the king's word? Huhuhu. Ahahahaha Interesting ! This is a kind of foolishness even We can admire !" ( Note, he goes from a regular 'boku' to 'ore', so I expressed it with the royal 'we' instead.)

I think I transmitted the message let's get away quickly... An iron hand clamps down on my shoulder as an inhuman gaze bore into me.

" Where?"

I immediately showed him the northwest and several colored streaks fled in that direction.

Better them than me.

The divine siscon, apparently also half insane took off immediately and I was left alone here.

...

It's been two game days ( four game hours) , and still no sign of neechan.

I hate to even admit it to myself, but I'm getting worried.

...

A few game hours later ...

The northern weather's being seriously messed up right now, so I migrated to Ardens. Aka-san keeps me on touch with them, since they're allied and that I'm Freyja's follower. The news of the hack and the attack have been very , very ill-received.

The fact part the code has been stolen from the GM even moreso. They're keeping it quiet though.

That silence is getting to me.

I need to beat up something.

...

It's been four game days now, the GMs have interrogated the GS of the demon lands. Still no answer.

That's it.

Logging out...

Seriously, I wonder how exactly all of another side isn't aware of her IRL name yet, considering how often her brother is speaking of her.

I sit up and go towards my computer. There's my name on a tag on the mouse .

Nekota Nagito.

Go ahead and laugh.

"Let's see, it's either Tenno Yuri or Sorano Yuri..."

It was Sorano Yuri.

...

That girl's really like a natural catastrophe eh ?

...

Ow.

That really hurt.

I actually died because of it !

So, what's that respawn point...

Ah, a really creepy looking, abandoned building, with corpses and skeletons everywhere, and a lavishly dressed, ultra pale dude sleeping on a chair.

Yep, horror genre.

I hate to do this, but, Yuri-or?

Yeeeeeesssssssss?

Your estimations if you please?

Either a high ranking vampire, or high level necromancer. No fast movements, and don't blink.

I blinked.

The guy disappeared.

"This is a strange place for such a fair maiden to be alone in. Why, the only distraction I had until now was to listen to the life of the sea."

Hmmm, that voice, if I had a body, I'd shiver in pleasure.

I'm shivering right now, and I can guarantee it is NOT in pleasure! Countermeasure for creepy hunter types engage!

"I call in my right of Hide and seek!"

the vampire dude was so puzzled he dropped his invisibility.

"Begging you pardon my lady ?"

I glare at him.

"If you're going to do all that creepy 'I'm gonna eat you' routine, then it is my right to ask for a minute head-start !"

"Are you not going to ask about my identity ?"

"I don't care who you are ! I want away! It's dark, dank, and there's so much dust I'm going to sneeze nonstop. Did you undead guys ever hear about housekeeping? I swear....!"

"Sixty."

Oops, time to run!

Hum. That guy did say we were directly under the sea right ? I'm starting to feel claustrophobic.

[Water detect]

Hm, very, very deep indeed. Welp, time to go.

[Ice bubble]

[Ice bubble]

[Ice bubble]

[Ice bubble]

[Ice bubble]

Should be enough for the pressure.

[Freeze pillar]

my bubble smashed against the roof and uplifted several meters of stone blocks. Then continued to ascend up in the water.

I think the insides of the ruin were prettier. No light, and kelp covered everything. No signs of animal life either.

There is a certain possibility for a Jaw scenario.

If that cursed fish approaches, I'll turn it into sushi!

We finally reached the surface, and the pillar stopped moving. I dare not make a sound right now.

The sky and the sea stopped, as if devoured by a giant blackness.

Oh f*ck.

You said it.

I think, that the whole 'brain dead thing will happen if we fall into that. No change to logout yet ?

Yes, and no to the other.

Isn't the whole 'edge of the world' your thing ?

Nah, I think it's sci-fi Yuri.

...But we don't have a sci-fi Yuri.

Yeah, that's why I agree with you in that we're f*cked. Sideways, I might say. The ice will thaw soon , by the way.

Thanks Yuri-or.

So, what do we do now ? Wait for vampire dude to get us in an undead way ?

Oh seriously you two !

Yuri-en interrupted our mope-fest, sailor uniform moved by an non-existing wind, and bright red student council armband ablaze.

Where's your spirit ?! Did you forget who we are ? What we surviv-mfprh?!

That's right.

I had forgotten.

The reason for their existence.

If you believe in them, that will happen.

I see, I had almost lost my way.

Thanks for the save, Yuri-en.

I know what I will do now !

[Ice Bubble ( oval)]

Cut in two

[Ice weapon : Naginata] x2

"Now, to row away from this place !"

I can't believe I almost forgot the time I made a canoe and went away from the island before the students started to turn towards cannibalism ! It's just the same, but with the end of the world and a super pissed vampire lord !

...

Finally ! Earth ! And my combat status is over ! I can logout!

The sight that greeted me when I took off my helmet was not reassuring.

It was my beyond-angry younger brother, sitting on a chair and looking at me unblinkingly, twirling my room's key between his fingers.

"Current situation?"

Lesson number one when dealing with pissed yandere siscon brother ? Never lie. He will know, because he always looked at you and knows everything there is to know about you.

" At least five regions away, to the north, running away from an elder vampire and the edge of the map. Divinity inactive."

"And why are you there ?"

Lesson number two, if it's your fault, you're f*cked. Literally.

"Demon lord hacker shot an overpowered soul tearing spell at me from the back, ice bubbled to defend myself, got propelled by the shock, died during the landing, met aforementioned vampire dude."

He started to smile. Slowly, and knowing perfectly how much that scared me.

" Are you in a safe position right now ?"

Ah , trick question. If you answer yes, he'll get you. If you answer no, he'll also get you.

"I wouldn't now, I logged out as soon as I could."

Because either would mean that you didn't seek him out as soon as you could.

In a flash, he was sitting on the edge of my bed, fingers trailing along my chin and neck.

Where's my cute tsundere catboy younger brother figure  ?

I want my cute tsundere catboy younger brother figure !

Anything would do as younger brother figure over that creepy brother of mine !

"I'm worrying for you sister. At first, that other world meant we could be together more, I could keep an eye on you and ... make the others go away."

His light, conversational tone went away.

" Then, you've been noticed. Of course you'd be noticed, you're my wonderful, wonderful sister, nobody can ignore you."

His gestures were starting to get frenetic. I hoped we could end it without violence, but it seems I'll have to dirty my hands again. I hate hitting my brother. He's a creep and needs a shrink, but he's still my brother y'know ? I raised him  myself. But that's probably what caused it, so I kinda feel bad for him, since it' my fault...Not.

Not good.

Thinking about it is no good at all.

The moment you believe it to be real, it becomes real.

I know it better than everyone.

My entire existence is centered around denying the world and painting it with my colors instead.

Oooo-kay ! Denial activated !

Stupid brother laughed creepily. Go'way you creepo !

"Running away again, onee-chan ?"

"Of course, that's what I do best."

He tilted his head, and my muscles stiffened.

Girls, you reckon he's gonna try it?

Ya

Y-yes **blush**

Obviously.

Like hell I'm gonna lose to f*ckin' incest shoujo.

As he approached, I quickly caught my lamp's power cable, and propelled said lamp against his head. He groaned, surprised, and I used that opening to kick his face into the wall.

He stopped moving, good. I changed my clothes quickly, took my emergency bag and hightailed away from the house.

That guy's worse than a zombie anyways.
