When I realized that I was peeing, I panicked. You know? Not counting my actual age and everything, it’s really bad in many ways that the first thing I did to my step-sister was soiling her with my urine.
Luckily, contrary to my belief, it didn’t shoot straight at her, instead it ran down my leg instead. Weren't I just saved by my new equipment?
As you may already have guessed; yes, under my gown I am going commando. I don’t know if it’s because I’m standing or if the material has some sort of water resistant property. The liquid didn’t spill onto her, not a single drop. It just left a tickle and warm feeling along the path it took down my leg.
“Pristia, you're scaring her!” The thug-like step-brother of mine raised his voice after he noticed the growing puddle beneath my feet. No, I’m not scared of her, I’m scared of my future! Moreover, you’re the scariest one here, step-brother.
“Ah! I'm so sorry! I didn’t mean to....” She started to panic. Even more so when she saw my body shaking violently. Yes, after I relieved myself for the first time in this world, my body started shaking involuntarily.
How could I make such a stupid mistake? Was it the differences between a male and female body that caused me to lose control or underestimate how urgent the situation was? No, it’s just me being stupid. Deep down, I’m still thinking of this as a dream. This situation threw cold water on me. Or is it warm water?
While I was busy drowning myself in self-loathing, the ‘too handsome to be an honest husband’-father stepped in to calm us down.
“It’s ok. It's ok.” He said while bending down and patting our heads. His charming smile caused my heart to skip a beat. Oi! What are you doing to my body? When his sunny and warm pheromones reached my nose, my cheeks felt warm. This was bad. My body betrayed me.
Don’t get me wrong. I'm a normal guy. I repeat. Normal. Guy. I love yuri, loli, milf and all that stuff. And I am a fanatic supporter of the harem. Yes, the harem is the ultimate hope and dream of all men! Viva harem! Moreover, I hate yaoi. For those who love it, I have only one thing to say to you: There is no yaoi hole, it’s just a myth.
Speaking of myths, isn’t human pheromones just a myth? Why did my body react that strongly to his scent? Was this a downside to my superior senses? Just imagining me being “kya kya fu fu fu” with a guy already creeped me out.
In conclusion: Will I get into a relationship with any dude? Yeah, when pigs fly!
“Pristia, please help clean her up.” Mr. Too-Handsome-to-be-a-good-father’s gentle voice roused me from my deliberations.
"Aye, aye, sir!” Pristia, my new step-sister, did a mock salute. Then she started enthusiastically cleaning up my mess. She even taught me how to use a toilet in this world. She’s so kind to me. I'm sorry for comparing you to that cheerleader from my past life.
After we finished cleaning up my mess, I left the restroom with my sister holding my hand. Where is the snack I was just holding? Well, uhm, yeah, I dropped it... in the toilet... while flushing.
In my defense, I tried to get it back. However, my sister stopped me... before I could... blow apart the toilet.
Gah! Please kill me already! My first impression of this girl was shattered beyond repair.
“Are you alright, Kuro?" I nodded. No, I’m not, Mr. Pheromone! My body just unconsciously nods because of your scent!
“Let us restart our introductions again. My name is Murbav, Murbav Velvori. Nice to meet you, my daughter.” He bent down and kissed the back of my free hand. Wasn’t that a bit over the top? Is his secret code name 007? What kind of country would have a name like that? Italy? Romania? A lot of questions came up while I was flustered because of my pheromone susceptible body.
Huh? Where's my ID card you ask? My sister was holding it for me... because I needed a free hand... to wipe.
“Aunos. I am your brother.” Are you Darth Vader, dude!?
“As you already know, I’m Pristia, your big sister!” At least, we have one normal person here.
“Kuro, just Kuro. N-Nice to meet you.” How did I do that? I addressed them one person at a time. How's that? I’m a genius, aren’t I? It’s my ultimate secret technique! I called it the ‘run away from the problem’ technique.
“Nice to meet you, Kuro. I will have you go shopping with your elder brother and sister while I finish the paperwork here. Is that fine with you?” I nodded while holding my breath to avoid inhaling any more pheromones.
“Oh, and don’t forget to buy food for Bobo” Murbav told Aunos before leaving the room.
“Yay! Let’s go buy clothes for Kuro!" My sister dragged me out of the room in high spirits while Aunos followed silently.

It took me a while to understand what I was seeing.
“Aren’t we supposed to be in the city?” I asked my sister, confused.
“Umm, we’re at the edge of the city. Why?” Edge of the city... that explained why I could see the horizon. I saw a black spot moving across the horizon, so I focused on it...
“Isn’t that pterosaur?!" Well, I'm not panicking, I was just surprised. So the country bumpkin kind of question slipped from my mouth.
“Hmm? Ped-ter-o-saw?” My sister cutely tilted her head.
“A flying lizard! And aren’t we somehow flying?” I noticed a cliff about 200 meters in front of me but somehow the view beyond that was moving slowly. So I deduced that the land we were walking on was floating. I heard some clicking noises behind my back, but I was too excited to care.
“Aahh! Kuro has very good eyesight. That is an acid spitting drake. But don’t worry about that, Kuro. It will be shot down if it gets too close to the city.” She answered while patting my head.

“Not flying, floating. Our city is situated on a floating island called Black Dragon Island.” Mr. Brother helped her answer my question from the side.
The sun is straight above us. So, I concluded that it should be around noon. The view was very fantasy-like. A lush, green grassland with some red, blue, and yellow patches of flowers scattered across the field, mountain ranges on the right of my visual field with snow on their peaks, a sparkling river, and a waterfall cascading down the mountain. There were strange creatures dotted across the landscape, but they were so far away that I had to focus on each of them to see its features. The air was filled with the scent of... vanilla. No, that’s from my sister's hair.
“Let’s go, Kuro!" My sister happily pulled me along towards the city.
The city here didn't have those intimidating skyscrapers like the cities in my previous life. The tallest building was about four stories tall and triangular shaped. All of them were shiny new like it was just painted yesterday. The buildings had all kinds of shapes like dome, oval, triangular and pentagonal, all arranged uniformly across the city. Strangely enough, rectangular buildings didn't seem to be popular here. I wonder why.
The giant billboards were nowhere to be seen. However, there were some small ones along the way. There was also a warning sign that depicted a pervert flasher.
Seriously? If you show something bad to my innocent sister, I will blow your thing away with a [Fus-Ro-Dah], you know?
Every now and then a car or big motorbike thing drove past us, their design looked somewhat futuristic. After we had walked for a while, a red sports car flew over our heads. It’s just like the one inside the Mr. White Rabbit video.
“Why don't all cars fly?” I pointed at the flying car and asked my sister.
“It uses a lot of energy to fly, so only rich people use flying cars.” Aunos, recent big brother to be, answered the question without being asked while I heard some clicking noises behind my back. However, when I looked back I just saw my sister smiling warmly at me.
It took us around 15 minutes of walking at a brisk pace to arrive at the pet shop. It’s an oval-shaped building with a pet shop sign in front of it.
Once we entered the store, my big brother walked off to purchase the pet food, so I was free to look around. They had a lot of exotic pets for sale. However, after my baptism in this new world, nothing could surprise me anymore.
