Chapter 18: Slap My Stick
Red Tissue and Blue Tissue
It happened one day when someone went to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Sitting in the toilet bowl, they contracted their rectal hole and released chocolate soup to feed the toilet. You need to feed it every day so it would evolve.
Finishing the business, they reached towards the toilet paper—only to find it was gone.
The next moment, bathroom lights went out. Maybe they forgot to pay the electric bill and since it's midnight (right at the start of a new day), the power was cut or the emergency maintenance just coincidentally happened.
Either way, the room was dark and it took a good moment of time before their sight stabilized.
It revealed a mummy wrapped entirely in toilet paper, excluding a small part of the face, where a pair of malicious light shone from. The mummy offered two kinds of toilet paper: the red one, or the blue one.
If they choose the red one, they'd be gored until they became a mass of red flesh.
If they choose the blue one, they'd be strangled until their entire body turned blue and lifeless.
Choosing neither of them would net an even worse outcome.
Yet, the said victim did not know in the slightest. Even when they wish to ask something, they were too startled for their minds to register.
They end up choosing the red tissue since it smelled of a fresh menstrual blood, while the blue one reeked of apothecary alcohol, with a scent reminiscent to a paint thinner.
The night ends up with a marvelous scream akin to fireworks as the lights went up in the neighborhood. In the victim's toilet, a mess of blue sprayed all over the place.
Simply because they were of noble birth.
Ba-dumpts.
The toilet remained as a silent witness day by day with the accumulation of various mess and rotting corpses, until it was abandoned forever along with the ghost—and countless victims flushed down its hole.
...
Not Hitori Kakurenbo
It was a hide and seek game played with a ghost. To play it iirc, you get a doll, change the stuffings with rice and use your blood to season it.
I thought it was really weird, but my little sister really wants to play it. She said, if it's me, the ghost would be scared instead. She said she would be observing somewhere so I'd just be playing alone.
I did not want to change the stuffings because my sister loved the doll very much. It was of a beautiful kimono girl with short hair, a yamato nadeshiko type.
Well, in any case, instead of smearing her with blood, I pricked mine and poured it to a miniaturized sake cup and the rice were on the other mini-plate.
My little sister was puzzled, but I respect the doll. Screw the actual ritual means. I could see how relieved she was, that her beloved doll would still be in one piece.
As for why she thought about sacrificing the doll, she once told me how her soul was at its limit and she wants to honor her departure by this game.
...but I could tell, my little sister didn't want to part with her. This doll was also my precious friend.
"Kaori, I hate playing hide and seek, so can we chat instead?"
Kaori shook her head; the stiffness of her expression was gone and she just looked like a mini-girl. So cute.
Even if her body was really small, her voice was just as audible as a normal person. It was a crystal clear voice of a little girl which felt me with a warm feeling.
"Mistress wants us to play hide and seek."
"Try to find me."
"..but big brother is right here."
I spoke to Kaori not just once or twice. Maybe I spoke to her more than my little sister did. Even as a doll, she was a very sweet girl.
"No. I mean, the real me. Kaori, the reason I want us to talk is that I want you to FIND the real me. I want you to KNOW my true self. In turn, I also want to find the real you."
This time Kaori curled up to a ball and I couldn't help but use my pinky finger to stroke her hair. Now it felt very soft.
"Kaori is scared. Kaori always has nightmares when sleeping beside big brother."
"..but you kept doing so anyway from time to time."
"Because Kaori love mistress, even though it's very scary imagining myself turning to a human and...become mistress' wife, Kaori still want to hear more...Kaori wants to be mistress' loved one, even though Kaori wasn't the only one..."
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
I kept talking about Yuri stuff with her since she appears to be very interested in it. Who knew it'd somehow backfired.
"Why you never said you loved her?"
"...because we're both girls...and Kaori did not feel she deserved mistress' "
"Ah, for goodness sake your mistress actually preferred girls, especially a cute one like you! Well, just take it easy. I prepared some food and wine."
I pointed at the mini plate with rice and miniature sake cup containing my blood.
Kaori made a strange expression as she stared at me.
"I prefer cooked rice, but the blood was okay since you're directly related to mistress."
"I'll go fetch it then."
"...no, big brother—this is okay."
I was about to ask my little sister for the toy chopsticks for the rice but Kaori's mouth immediately turned to a vacuum and sucked both the rice and the blood in one go.
Hahaha, she's just like K*rby.
She laid with her back on the floor with big smiles and beet red face, stroking her bloating belly.
Soon after she began snoring. Ah, she's really adorable. I picked her up and placed her in my palm. I went to my room and rested her in the usual place, on the table near my bed. There were various figurines and plushes of anime characters my little sister made for me. I often had a weird dream that I'm Kaori and I'm doing Yuri stuff to them when she's there.
Well--a more adult version of her, to be exact.
As for Kaori, my sister wanted her to be our little sister after mother had a miscarriage. Her name wasn't known but my sister decided on them right away. It's only recently she gained her own consciousness—if only she'd be with us a little longer.
Mom still didn't know anything 'bout it and it's not like she'd believe it anyway.
It's not every day she slept in my room, but when Kaori's there, my room felt so comfortable, just like heaven.
Since it's already late in the night when I started the ritual, I said goodnight to Kaori and somehow, in the back of my mind, I could hear her reply back.
"Sleep well, big brother—I'll watch over you."
I had a very pleasant dream last night, but I forgot what it was. It's all fluffy and cute; I'd feel like I would get diabetes if I remembered.
When I woke up, I felt something small, cute and precious wrapping her little arms around me. The fabric of her kimono pressed against me was like another soft blanket.
"Good...mowning...big...brother." this loli made a lazy reply that's making my blood sugar level increase. I couldn't help but smile and stroke her hair, in which she let out an even bigger smile.
"I thought the one you love is your mistress?"
"This and that are different! At this moment, I want the love of a big brother, ehehe.."
"You little cinnamon roll, did you get bigger again?"
"I'm a growing girl!"
"Did you eat your bell-peppers?"
"...I will try."
"Good girl, but don't push yourself too much, alright?"
"Un."
I stroked her hair again and prepared myself for school. Glancing at her one last time, I couldn't help but grin when I saw her rolling around the bed.
I wonder how should I explain this to Mom?
Soon after, there's a knock on my door.
"No need to worry 'bout that, bro."
"What do you mean?"
"It wouldn't be a surprise if I tell you now—I mean it—that'd be a massive downer, so darn uncool."
"I don't care."
"I'm not telling!"
She only told me to go earlier to school as Mom still hadn't woke up.
...and by the time I opened the door, there was mountains of unrecognizable gory corpses and a pile of broken police cars outside.
My little sister snickered.
"It has nothing to do with us, right?" I tried to sound as calm as I could.
She only hummed a tune as we went to school together.
...and the day continued on like usual.
When we returned, Kaori welcomed us by the door and those disturbing piles were gone.
I'm glad I didn't need to take a medicine today; not sure 'bout my little sister though.
As for Mom, well, she didn't seem to mind that Kaori was here. She just grumbled a bit more since she had to prepare dinner for one more person.
Mom's complaints were abated quick since Kaori was such a good girl.
Thank you for being with us.
