"Aww come on, Big Bro~!" Kaori says with a cheeky smile on her face. She is pointing

at the food section of the amusement park, holding a paper bag in the other hand.

"Huh? You want me to run out of my money or what?" I point at the bag in her hand.

"Those high heels or whatever those are, were literally the most expensive ones!" I shake my head in irritation.

"Kids like you should burn in hell for using their older brothers, you know~?" I pinch her cheeks, letting out a small yawn at the same time.

"Ouch!" She jumps back slightly and rubs her cheeks with her free hand.

"But it was you who bought me the shoes! You've agreed on those ones!" She pouts, stomping her feet.

"Agreed?!" I pull her ear softly. "You know I was in a tight conversation with Mrs. Hadeka!" I shake my head. "I was offguard and you've used it against me because you are a spoiled brat! When I saw the price I was dumfounded, tho I couldn't just put it away because it would be tooooooo embarassing!" I pull her ears softly in frustration.

"Then brother I have an offer for you!" She somehow manages to shove my hands away from her ears, a cheeky smile creeps onto her face once again.

"Hm?"

"We will compete! Booths, food, and fun! Whoever will lose..." Her smile widens further and she sticks her tongue out. "...Will be doing all the chores for a whole month, plus if I lose I won't bother you for any money till the next month~!" She extends her hand towards me.

I look down at her small hand, and then at her stupid face.

"Shit... I don't know if I should or not... but wait..."

I close my eyes, remembering that I do all the chores anyways, as she's constantly playing video games on her console, or bothering my ass.

"Very well then... let's see who will have more fun tonight~!" I squeeze her hand tightly, making her squeak and jump up slightly.

"Ouchie! Hmph, stupid Shoji!~" She pouts while blowing some air onto her hand.

"Do wesela sie zagoi~." I ruffle her hair, smiling playfully.

She then smiles back at me and starts dragging me towards one of the restaurants that serve spicy food.

"Mehh... it's soo late! I would love to take a nap somewhere... but... I dont want to lose to my stupid sister! When I've recommended the amusement park I thought I'll be overflowing with energy, but to my surprise even tho I slept 2 days... I'm very tired..." I let out another small yawn at which Kaori softly laughs.

"Oh? My my~... Are you tired Shoji? Ohhhh my! It'll be so easy to win this competition~!" She starts to walk quicker and quicker until we finally end up at a table in the restaurant. There are also some loud kids sitting at a table that's next to the bathroom.

"Those idiots again..." She mutters under her nose.

"What are they playing? Board game with fake money huh?" I say to myself and look over at Kaori as she's looking at the menu "They're annoying, but not more than Kaori."

"This spoiled brat... I swear if I were in whole ass another dimension, I could feel her enthusiasm..."

I look at her as her eyes wander around the menu.

"So what are you picking, Kaori?"

Her smile widens as she raises her hand, waiting for a waiter to come up and putting the menu upside down on the table.

Soon enough a guy in a waiter outfit comes up to as with a kind smile on his face, or at least he tries to make one.

"What can I get for you?" He asks kindly.

"Disgusting... I would never act kind despite being in a situation like his, working a part-time job in which you see many disgusting and annoying people daily. But... that also gives me an opportunity." I smile to myself in a mocking way.

"I would like to order two plates of Jalapeño flavored stew!" Kaori says with a kind smile on her face, picking up the menu once again and pointing at the dish on the list.

"Okay, you'll dish will be ready in about ten minutes, so make sure that you'll be there, okay?" He says with an even kinder voice.

"Sugar, sugary, and once again sugar haha~!" I roll my eyes in a way that he didn't even notice.

The waiter then walks away. Then I turn to Kaori with a feigned smile of amazement and kindness on my face. "Oh my god! This guy is so kind and professional... I'll consider giving him a hefty tip after we eat!" I say loudly enough for him to hear it.

It takes Kaori a moment to analyze what I've just said, a look of surprise appears on her face, mainly because I've never tipped.

"Oh my my~ You're feeling generous tonight, aren't you, Shoji~?" She smiles playfully, reaching her hand towards me and hitting my shoulder softly.

I shove her hand away, keeping the fake smile on my face. I slowly stand up from the table.

"Ima be right back, I'm going to the toilet." I say, looking down at her.

"Ho ho~? Are you sure? I bet that you'll revisit after we eat~ After all if it's spicy then it won't be afterwards nicey~!" She laughs playfully, leaning her chin on her hand.

"Oh shut up, brat~" I ruffle her hair as I pass her by, heading towards the bathroom, passing the annoying kids.

After a couple on minutes I leave the bathroom. I walk up to the kids who are playing the board game, sitting at the table thats under the window. I take out a tissue from my pocket and hold it in my right hand.

"Whatcha playing kids~?" I ask with feigned curiosity.

The two boys that are around the age of eleven judging by their looks, look up at me in confusion.

"Uhh... we are playing Minipole...?" The black haired boy says, as the other one is looking down at the board. I hear the uncertainty and even a slight amount of fear in his voice.

"Oh they two already know haha~" I giggle to myself, giving them a serious look afterwards.

"Can you two be quieter, please? There are many people here who want to eat in peace and silence." I look down at the brown haired kid who's looking down.

"Look into my eyes when I'm speaking."

The kid looks up at me, tears forming in his eyes. As the two kids are looking up at me, I lean my hands against the table.

"So can you two behave? Otherwise, they will kick you out." I smile at them, biting my cheek from the inside to prevent myself from laughing.

"Y-Yes sir... we will b-behave..." The black-haired one says when the other one just nods.

"That's what I thought," I say as I straighten up, and start walking towards my table.

As I sit down, Kaori looks at me with a mocking expression on her face.

"What was that, Big bro~? Got a little mad, or just wanted to terrorize some kids, planting a seed of uncertainty and shyness which is sooooo deep inside of their souls that it'll accompany them for the rest of their lives, making it harder to them in future~? Or did you just pee on yourself or something huh~?" She says with a miechevious smile on her face.

I blink a couple of times in surprise and then I giggle softly, and a smile appears on my face.

"You're exaggerating~! I'm not THAT bad you understand~? And besides! I would never pee on myself! I would never! And I repeat never!"

My smile fades as quickly as it appears. I look at her for a moment without saying anything.

"Is it really how she sees me? I know I'm not an entirely good person... but I'm not that bad...?"

"Shoji?" She starts to wave her hand before my face, tho I'm too deep in thought to even notice it.

"I can't tell if she's kidding or not... I'm too bad at reading people..."

"Shoji?"

"Her voice sounds sarcastic, but that doesn't mean that whatever she is saying is a lie..."

"Shoji?!" She pinches my nose, finally snapping me out of thought.

"Is something wrong Shoji? You just zoned out." She asks me with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Yeah yeah, don't worry Kaori." I reach over and ruffle her hair, messing it up.

"Aww, man~!" She pouts slightly, fixing her messed-up hair.

Suddenly the waiter walks up to the table and places our dishes before us.

"Have a nice meal, I will come back for the money after you two finish eating." He says with a kind smile, tho this smile seems to be honest.

"He fell for it... pft..."

The waiter then walks away and we start eating.

"Eek! Water! Water! It's so spicy and hot! Shoji! Water!" Kaori squeaks, blowing on the foot and taking a couple of deep breaths afterwards.

I sigh and pour some water into her glass, while I eat my stew like it's not even spicy at all.

"How are you... able to eat it... just like that?!" She says in frustration, drinking water in between.

"I've built a strong tolerance towards it after eating spicy instant noodles, almost every day for about 4 years, y'know~?" I smirk and giggle softly at her frustration.

After we finish eating the stew, I lean back on the chair with a happy smile on my face.

"Ehhh... haven't eaten something that's actually made in the kitchen for a long, long time!"

The waiter walks up to our table, holding a check presenter in his hand, a wide smile of excitement on his face.

"Was the food tasty?"

Kaori looks at him with a happy smile, almost as happy as mine.

"It was very spicy... but also very tasty! It was wonderful!"

I nod slightly as I take the check presenter from the waiter. There are a couple of already-paid orders here, but when I see a particular order, my smile widens and turns into a rather mischevious one.

Kaori is talking to the waiter, and it turns out that we are his last customers for today and he still didn't count the money, because he always does it after his shift ends.

After a moment, I hand the check presenter to the waiter. When he looks at it his eyes widen with happiness.

"Woah! That's a hefty tip coming from a teenager like you. Are you sure you want to tip it?" The waiter asks with excitement. It's clear that he wants to be as polite as he can, but in the end... human greed will always win.

"Nah, it's okay," I say nonchalantly as I put a tissue into my pocket.

"Very well then, have fun and thanks!" The waiter walks away.

Kaori just looks at me with a surprised and confused look on her face. I hear her mutter something like "What the".

When we leave the restaurant I gesture her to sit down next to me at a bench that has the view of the restaurant via a certain window.

"Why here out of all places, Shoji?" She asks curiously.

I start giggling to myself as I point at the window. Sitting behind the window were the two kids who were loud and annoying. The waiter is yelling at them and pointing at the check presenter.

"What is happening over there and why are you giggling like an idiot, big bro?" She asks curiously, her eyes wide with surprise.

I lean back on the bench, taking out the tissue from my pocket and throwing it into the trashcan that's next to the bench.

"When I was talking to the kids, I made them look up at me, and only focus on me, so I could take some of their fake money with that tissue so there are no fingerprints, and also it wasn't visible by the cameras. Then when I was paying for the food I swapped the money from the other customers as the waiter was too focused on your shit talking about the food!" I burst out laughing, holding my shirt in the chest area because I could not catch my breath out of the laughter.

Kaori looks at me, trying to process what I've just told her. Suddenly a furious look appears on her face and she grabs me by the sides of my hoodie tightly.

"You can't do that! You just can't! You're the worst, Shoji! I hate you sooo much! You can't be doing this!" She screams at me shaking me a lot of times.

"You cannot be having more fun than me, or else I'll lose our bet!"

"What?"

I sit there dumbfounded for a couple of seconds.

"Why are you mad at the wrong thing huh?!" I say loudly in frustration, also shaking her.

"Aren't you mad because I did that to some random kids?" I stop shaking her as I ask her with curiosity that mixes with my frustration.

She takes a deep breath and replies with a simple. "No, I'm not."

"Well you see Shoji, I know those kids from elementary school. They were 2 grades lower than me, but they're the most disrespectful brats you've ever met. They were annoying teachers and students all the time, but always got away with it. Too bad for them that they've met such a scumbag like my big brother~!" She then hugs me tightly.

"Ughh! Get off me you stupid koala!" I say while trying to push her away.

After this incident we try multiple attractions in the amusement park- snipers, go-karts, roller coasters and etc.

We are now on the Ferris wheel, spinning around.

Kaori looks at me in frustration and holds out her hand, offering me a handshake.

"I have to admit my defeat... I lost." She says in frustration, pouting a little.

I shake her hand.

"Ez win."

Her frustration then morphs into happiness as she hugs my arm softly.

"I only lost because you had the most fun in the restaurant... Tho I was having lots of fun overall as well y'know? I just wanted to say that I love you, big brother..." She then looks up at me.

"You're the best of the best brothers I could've ever imagined... thank you..." She tears up a little as a wide smile appears on her face.

I just look down at her. I can't help, but smile myself, seeing her this happy. I reach over to her head and ruffle her hair playfully.

"I love you too, you spoiled brat."

"And remember that you can always rely on me, after all big brother should always help his younger careless siblings, right?"
