Hello, I’m Shu Shikure. 17 years old Male and on top of that I’m currently going to meet with the rest of the Hero, and meet some problem.

…

Let’s talk about what is going on. First, I survive a trial of god by sealing a certain red hair girl. Second, I walked along the corridor, and before I knew it. I came to a hall where everyone gathered. Not everyone is here, it seems other still haven’t come yet. And there is a long table in the middle of it. This remind me of certain dining table of royalty.

Oh everyone has changed their clothes. Right now, everyone looks more dignified since the clothes they provide has some fashion sense to it. I don’t complain. Since I was also in the same kind of attire.

Everyone seems to be discussing about something. And when I got close, they look at me. Some of them even look at me in disgust. What’s going on? Why must you look at me like this? Did I have something on my face? I check my face this morning, and I was fine.

Then as if the candle’s light out. Everyone lost their interest and turned away. What’s give? Aren’t you just making it harder for me to join in? As I was thinking whether I should sit down or not. A guy with glasses and Hero-kun came to me

with a smile.

“Sorry, it’s just everyone was still frustrated about what happen, so please don’t mind. Oh, I’m Tanaka Shinichi. Nice to meet you.”

Hero-kun is talking to me in a friendly manner. This guy is easy-going! Oh he introduces himself, I should introduce myself too. Yeah, first impression is important. I need to make it a grand one.

Wait, isn’t my first impression was someone who accepts a duel and got beaten by a girl? Isn’t that how they look at me with disgust? That’s a coincident, right? Yeah, that’s just coincident. At any rate, I need to make introduce myself too.

“Arh, I don’t mind. I am Shu Shikure. It’s nice to be your acquaintance.”

I shook his hand with a smile. Yeah, this is going good. Hero-kun is staring at me. Am I imagining thing?

“Shikure-san, I see. I’m Okamura. I’m a class rep. Nice to meet you.”

I shook the guy with glasses as well. So he is a class rep? Well, he got the vibe of one. He also somehow reminded me of certain guy when we first came here. The guy who cross- NO! I don’t know any cross-dress guy! I didn’t see any cross-dress guy! So he should be alright……..right?  

“Just call me Shu.”

“Then I’ll do that. Is your head alright? Shu-san.”

Hmm? Arh, he meant the injury from the swing before.

“Well, I feel better already. Thank you. Okamura-kun.”

“Yesterday, I show everyone my ugly self. I hope we do get along.”

“No, shouldn’t I be saying that? I show you my pitiful-self.”

“Ano – Shu-san. Your surname is Shikure, right? Could you possibly know Amane-chan and Amano-chan?”

“Hmm! Yeah I know them. They’re my sisters.”

“Is that really true??!! Shu-san. You’re Amane and Amano’s older brother?”

Class_Rep-kun shook me violently. Yes, I am their brother. Don’t get excited over something like this.

“Everyone!! This is Shu-san!! He’s Amane-chan and Amano-chan’s brother!!”

Hero-kun grabbed my arm and declared as such. And then everyone opened their eyes wide at me.

“That’s lie!!, Right?”

“That’s plain looking guy?!”

A girl shouts while abruptly standing up, and then Ojou-chan followed up. Ouch, her words is bit hurt. I’m know I’m normal, but don’t rub the salt on it, ok?

It seems that my sisters are pretty famous in their school. Other looks at me in disbelief, and some looks at me in awe. Well – that’s Class_Rep-kun and Hero-kun.

“I absolutely don’t believe that, THAT is Amane-Onee-sama’s older brother. For the Onee-sama that I adores so much, THAT can’t be her brother!”

Ojou-chan just slammed the table and shouted at me. Wait, did she just call Amane-chan, Onee-sama? Why? And did she just call me nothing, but THAT? What’s that even supposed to mean?

“I think so, Amano-onee-sama always talk about her brother in caring and loving manner. He’s like a hero to her. So I can’t believe he is her brother.”

Really? Amano-chan really said that about me? Onii-chan is so happy he can fly.

“Yeah, I think so. Tanaka and Class_Rep don’t believe him immediately! I think he just want to use Amane-Onee-sama and Amano-Onee-sama’s name for his own good.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. They don’t believe in me even in a single bit, do they? However, that doesn’t matter to me. They think great of my sisters. I’m satisfied. This Onii-chan don’t care what other say to him, He’ll be contented as long as people praise his sisters.

“I’m Shu Shikure, everyone. I know I can’t make all of you believe what I have said, but I’m really Amano-chand and Amane-chan’s brother. And I’m grateful for everyone. It seems like you guy think great of my sisters. Thank you for being good friend to my sisters.”

There was no lie in it. I thanked them wholeheartedly. Why? Because one can’t go far without companions. Of course, I wanted to protect my sisters. However, seeing them make good friends, I also feel happy about it.

It seems everyone was taken aback with my speech. Did I overdo it? I was thinking about what to say next, but then-  

“Ho~ those Shikure Twin’s brother?! You look so weak. Didn’t you got knocked out in one hit? That’s lame!!”

A guy who sat far away from everyone said as such. His light purple hair is long till his shoulder, and he tied them up on top his head. It look just like a carrot. Ok, let’s call him Carrot-kun. He placed his feet on the top of the table without caring for anyone. He seem like a delinquent the way everyone react to his word. However, it wasn’t fear. It’s more like disgust.

“I bet they must be disappointed to have such a lame brother like this. Hahaha. Those idiots always talk about their brother, but it turns out you’re an idiot just like them.”

He added in and laughed. Hah?! This guy. What did he say? What did he call my sisters? I’m not sure of what I heard, but anger is swelling inside me.

“Yamoto!! What are you saying? How dare you say that to him?”

Class_Rep-kun got angry, and he shouted back. This guy is really a good guy.

“Shut up! Class_Rep-chan. I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to that lame bastard over there!”

“Yamoto. Stop causing trouble.”

“You too shut up, Tanaka! This is not about you. If you want a fight, then I’ll company you later. But now, I’m talking to that worthless shit”

““You-!””

I grabbed Hero-kun and Class_Rep-kun shoulder to stop them. And then I walked toward Carrot-kun. Let’s calm down, ok? Don’t cause any trouble. Let’s settle this with peace.

I walked toward him with a smile, and then I said one word to him.

“Carrot-kun, you called my sisters idiot. Apologize”

“Hah~! What’s wrong? You’re mad? Are you mad? Did you just get angry when I call your sister idiots? You think your word is enough? Who do you think you are, Idiot?”

“I don’t like violent~”

“Hahahaha!? You’re scared? Just like those stupid sisters of yours? They always talk about justice and peace. When time come, all they did was stiffen up, just like you right now. Seriously, You and your sisters are idi-”

*Thud*

Carrot-kun fell to the ground. I hit him. Yeah I just him. Was it a jab? Was it an uppercut? I don’t know, I don’t remember. My body just reflexively move.

Why did I hit him? Didn’t I say to settle this with peace? Well, the moment he called my sisters idiots, the war had started already, and there’s no room for peace.

“Carrot-kun. Apologize now!”

“Bastard! You’re dead.”

He tries to get up and hit me back, but I see that coming. So I stomped on his shoulder to make his balance collapsed, and then I kicked him in the face. There was no need to say I’m really angry now.

However, knowing that fact, I suppressed my anger that was about to pop inside me. I have to calm down, I can’t lose my cool head like that again. It would be too dangerous.

“You little-”

“Yamada! Stop it! Shu-san, too.”

Hero-kun stepped in and stopped us. However, Carrot-kun didn’t care and charged again. He charged wildly at me with anger, but he couldn’t even touch me.

I sidestep and trip him. He face with a thud colliding with a chair.  

“What’s now? Carrot-kun. Apologize now!”

“Never. I’ll the beat the hell out of you!”

He charges and throws a quick punch. He smiles as I don’t move. He seems to think that I couldn’t evade this attack. However, I see his moves clearly and then I let him hit me.

I was taken back few steps from his punch.  

“Yamada, you rascal, what do you think you’re doing?”

Class_Rep-kun shouts at him. It seems that he was angry. He wants to get into the fight, but then Hero-kun stepped in and stopped Yamada.

“Enough, Yamada. That’s enough.”

“HUH?!! Who do you think you are to stop me? Just so you know, that guy starts it. And I won’t let him go that easily.”

“I said, that’s enough!”

“Screw you, get the hell out of my way. And go to your bitXh like you always did.”

“Why? you?”

Hero-kun seems to be angry as well. Is he going to fight? I can’t let that happen. This is my fight, and I’ll do it myself. I appreciate your helps, but that’s enough. While being hit by his punch, I thought about his behavior. And now, I think I have observe enough.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

“Oi- Carrot-kun. Your fist is light~”

“Huh?? What are you talking about? You want more of it, huh?”

“Your fist is light and they carry no weight. You balance is sloppy and you just swing those oversize fist around recklessly. Compare to my sisters, you’re too weak.”

“WHAT DID YOU SAY, YOU BASTARD?”

He charged at me again. Really? That’s all he can do? To lose himself in rage and charges at me like a crazy man.

I thought that Carrot-kun might lost to Amano-chan in a fight at some point. And then he held grudge ever since, so I try to provoke him a bit. However, I didn’t expect him to be this furious. My bet, he didn’t just lose to Amano-chan once, maybe many times.

Did he take this chance for revenge? Did he think he really can have his revenge by beating me? This anger, and his eyes. This feeling is different. In his eyes, I could see pride, anger, and loneliness?  

His barrage of fist and kick came to me, but I dodges all of them while moving around him. I didn’t do anything yet, and then he starts to breath heavily. His stamina is good, but he couldn’t compare to Amano-chan at all. Should we end this?

“What’s wrong? Carrot-kun. Are you done? If so apologize now.”

“You bastard. Stop moving around and fight me.”

“I can’t do that. I don’t want to solve this with violent.”

“Didn’t you start the fight?”

“That’s my mistake. I can’t control myself. Sorry.”

“Do you think apologize now will help you?!! Don’t be absurd!”

“No, no no. I don’t have that intention at all. I just want you to apologize.”

“You think I’ll apologize to the like of you?”

“No, I want you to apologize to my sister. If you do that, I’ll forgive you for what you say”

“Screw that. You and those stupid twin are all about talk. You couldn’t do anything and keep blabbering about thing you don’t know. Don’t think you have the upper-hand, I’ll beat you to pulp now”

My eyes twitched a bit. I feel my hand is shaking. It seems that he starts to get on my nerve. For him to badmouth my sisters twice in front of me, I feel like losing myself to rage, right now. However, how can I get angry over someone like that? And I don’t like violent too-

“What’s wrong? You’re shaking, you know? Are you scared? You’re just like those fools. Talking big, but then chicken out in the end. Aren’t you and them just a coward? They always shake like this in the battle, and then they did nothing but endure the fight. In the end, they lose-”

*Thud*

Arh~ sorry. I can’t hold it in anymore. I gritted my teeth tight and looked at him. This guy just crossed the line he shouldn’t have.

“Now, you’re putting some fight. Come on, fight me. I’ll show how I beat those girls- ARHH!!!!

I struck my index finger into his shoulder. He screams in agony and he seems to be confused. Everyone that was looking also was confused.

It was the same technique that I used on a certain red-hair girl this morning. However, I didn’t use it for sealing his movement like I did this morning. This time, I let him taste illusionary pain generated by his body.

Right now, he should feel being stabbed by a chopstick on his shoulder. There’s no blood or anything. Everything should be in illusion. If he has the right mind to endure it, he wouldn’t be screaming like this.

“Carrot-kun, you just crossed a line you should never have. Before I lost myself in rage, APOLOGIZE!”

“YOU BASTARD! What did you do to me-”

I look into his eyes, and I saw no light of submission in it. I sighed inwardly knowing this. I definitely don’t want to do this, but this guy have gone too far.

I promise my sister that I wouldn’t get into a fight that would worried them. And I have always been doing that. I never fight for myself, and I surrender in all situation. However, to see someone who badmouth or hurt my sister, then it’s a different story.

“Pathetic, so pathetic. You’re so pathetic that I don’t know what to say now.”

“DAMN! YOU BASTARD!”

It seems the effect wore off, and he charged at me again.

I struck again of the left side of his head, and then he fell and hit his head hard. He tries to get up, but then he sways left-right, and collides with chair nearby. He struggled to get up, and looked around in daze.

Everyone was in shock, because of his behavior. Well, it can’t be helped. Right now, he should experience blindness for a few minutes. However, that’s enough to show him hell.

Do you know what happen to a man you throw in a dark room and lock him for a long time? The answer is he’ll go crazy. Why? Because in the dark, we feel thing that shouldn’t be there, hear thing that shouldn’t be there.

“Carrot-kun, do you afraid of height?”

“huh?!”

I struck him 3 different places on his body, and then he screams holding his arm. He tried to find anything to hold on since right now he should feel that he was standing on a tight robe. He found a chair and grabbed it tight.

“Carrot-kun. You say something about hurting my sister, right?”

There was no answer for him as he seems to be looking at me while turning left and right shaking.

“If that’s true, I’ll cut the rope.”

I said while walking toward him. I kicked the chair away and he fell to the ground screaming and moving in panic. The feeling of falling from the robe had turn his white pale.

“Shu-san! That’s enough. He know his own fault.”

“Yeah, Shu-san. That’s enough. I don’t think he can go any further.”

Hero-kun and Class_Rep-kun came to stop me. It seems that they couldn’t endure the scene anymore. Carrot-kun was still thrusting his hand out as if hoping to grab something. Looking at his appearance, I also feel that I went overboard as well.

I crouched down close to him and then I strike him again to remove the illusion. Carrot-kun complexion got better, but he was gasping for his breath. He should be able to see now, as he looks at me.

“Carrot-kun. I’ll say it for the last time. Apologize”

Right now, he looks at me in fear.

“Sorry”

One word blurt out as if unwillingly, but it was real in his eyes. It was out of fear.

“That’s lesson one. If you ever badmouth about my sister ever again.-”

I got back up and cast my sight down at him.

“You won’t just fall from the rope”

He looks at me with fear, but he didn’t back away from me. He stared at me with mixed emotion that I can’t make it out. However, it’s fine. It seems that he understands his fault now.

I turn around and then I declare.

“I don’t care what you think of me. If you held ill-intention toward my sisters. You’ll be answered to me. Remember that-”

I looks through everyone, and it seems that they all understand what I say.

“However, if you’re my sisters friends, then you’re also my friend. I’ll help out no matter how hard it is. That’s our Shikure’s way of life.”

I walked toward Carrot-kun and then extend my hand to him. He’s my foe, but he’s also someone my sister know. Amano-chan also hesitated and held in her anger when she fought with this guy. So it means that this guy isn’t completely hopeless.

Becoming friends after battle, wouldn’t be a cool thing? However, it was one-sided beat down, though. Don’t mind! The result is important.

The moment Carrot-kun about to take my hand, something unexpected happened.

“STOP THIS INSTANTLY. I WON’T LET YOU HURT HERO-SAMA”

A voice shouted from behind me, and then before I know it. I was hit by a sword.

*Ting*

Due to receiving damage greater than your HP, it results in a one-hit KO. Since it was within a protection area, you will not receive any penalty. Your status will not decrease, and this ‘FAINT’ status will last for 2 hours.

DAMN! It’s this damn message again.

“Hii!!! Hero-sama??!!!”

I looks at the one who hit me, and it turns that it was the same armor girl from yesterday. And finally, I closed my eyes.

Due to receiving damage greater than your HP many times, your Endurance has increase by 1.

I don’t need it! Instead make my protection or defense stronger. Damn, am I just going to sleep like this?

*Ting*

Due to bold declare and demonstration. You have gained acknowledged as Onii-chan of the twin Amane Shikure and Amano Shikure.

New Title ‘Brother of the Twin Amane and Amano’ has been given to the hero.

Oh~ so I can even have something like that, isn’t – that – nice – ?
