Chapter 40: A Girl’s Heavy Love

“Kanon, is it okay to just wipe my thighs?”

After a long pause, Arisugawa Yuu cautiously proposed.

Kanzuki Kanon glared at him coldly, a sneer on her lips, “My dear brother, when you take a bath, do you only wash half your body?”

“This isn’t a bath…”

“If you want to help me take a bath, I wouldn’t object.”

Kanzuki Kanon bit her red lip, her smile filled with contempt.

“No, that’s not happening.”

Arisugawa Yuu refused without a second thought.

“Oh? Is that so?” Kanzuki Kanon’s smile shifted from contempt to mischief, “Brother’s first reaction was ‘no,’ not ‘I don’t want to’.”

“Of course I don’t want to.”

“Hehehe~ Compared to your mouth, a certain part of you is much harder.”

Kanzuki Kanon’s mischievous gaze swept over a certain area.

“……”

“Not talking anymore? Did I hit the mark? You say you’re not interested in me, but in the end? My dear brother, you’re quite ridiculous.”

Kanzuki Kanon’s smile grew even more triumphant.

“……”

Seeing that Arisugawa Yuu was still silent, the triumphant smile on Kanzuki Kanon’s face turned icy.

She gave him a final ultimatum in a cold voice, “Now, I’ll give you two choices. One, help me wipe myself clean. Two, help me take a bath.”

Arisugawa Yuu’s face darkened. Although he was partly to blame for this situation, it was mostly Kanzuki Kanon’s own doing, this despicable sister of his.

She was still weak, yet she dared to threaten him? Did she not know the harsh realities of society?

‘I’m not serving you. Go cool off by yourself.’

Arisugawa Yuu also sneered, “My dear sister, has anyone ever told you that when you’re in a weak position, you should know when to swallow your pride instead of being bossy?”

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing. I just think that with your attitude, it makes me want to just walk away and leave you here.”

Hearing him say this, Kanzuki Kanon’s face tensed with urgency, and she stammered, “You’re my brother… If you don’t help me, who will?”

“Oh? Is that so?” Arisugawa Yuu’s smile turned sarcastic. “You certainly didn’t treat me like a brother before. I’m too lazy to help you.”

Seeing that he seemed to really intend to leave, Kanzuki Kanon bit her lower lip hard, as if swallowing a great humiliation, and said:

“B-Brother, please help me, okay?”

“Too fake. No sincerity.”

Arisugawa Yuu shook his head, looking as if he was disappointed in her.

“Don’t go too far.” Kanzuki Kanon was furious, glaring at him coldly.

“See? No sincerity at all.”

Arisugawa Yuu’s face was full of disdain.

Seeing him like this, Kanzuki Kanon’s cherry lips parted, but for a long moment, she couldn’t speak.

After a few seconds, she finally spoke with a sob in her voice, “Then just go. I’ll pretend I never had you as a brother. When I regain my strength, I’ll do it myself.”

After throwing out her harsh words, Kanzuki Kanon began to cry right in front of him.

‘This despicable, ill-tempered sister of his could actually cry?’

‘It seemed impossible.’

Arisugawa Yuu’s first reaction was, of course, that she was faking it.

“Stop crying. Isn’t it obvious it’s fake? Do you think I’ll go soft on you just because of this? How can you be so naive?”

Arisugawa Yuu laughed sarcastically.

However, to his surprise, Kanzuki Kanon didn’t retort. Instead, she cried even harder.

As she cried, she cursed, her delicate face stained with tears, “Wuu… idiot… wuu… pervert… wuu wuu… you’re not a gentle brother at all… wuu wuu wuu… if you want to go, then go… I don’t want to see you ever again… wuu wuu wuu wuu…”

Ah, this—

Looking at this, could she actually be crying for real?

Making a girl cry for the first time, Arisugawa Yuu was at a loss for a moment.

He subconsciously wanted to help wipe her tears, but his hand was suddenly bitten by her.

Although she bit him, she didn’t use much force, and it didn’t feel painful. The touch of the girl’s soft, pink lips and her delicate little tongue was extremely pleasant.

Arisugawa Yuu used his free hand to pat her head and comfort her, “Kanon, can you stop crying? Although your personality is a bit nasty and annoying, if you could be a little more gentle and obedient, you would be very likable. Promise me you won’t mess around anymore, and I won’t be harsh with you.”

“Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot! If you want to go, then go! I don’t need your pity, wuu wuu wuu…”

Kanzuki Kanon cursed indistinctly as she cried.

The hand she was biting was visibly and quickly becoming covered in glistening saliva.

“Then I’m really leaving.”

Arisugawa Yuu made a move to leave, but the next second, his hand was bitten tightly by her.

She opened her tear-filled eyes wide and glared at him, as if to say—You dare?

‘What’s there not to dare?’ Arisugawa Yuu pulled his hand away from her mouth and stood up directly.

Kanzuki Kanon finally gave in, her face red as she grabbed the hem of his pants and pleaded, “Brother, don’t go…”

“It’s too late. I’ve already lost all hope in you.”

After leaving these cold words, Arisugawa Yuu shook her off and turned to leave.

‘After giving her so many chances, she only realizes her mistake now?’

‘Did she think he had no temper?’

‘He wasn’t going to serve her anymore.’

To his surprise, there was suddenly no movement behind him.

There was no sound of Kanzuki Kanon’s scolding, not even the sound of crying. It was terrifyingly quiet.

Arisugawa Yuu subconsciously turned his head back, and the scene before him made his heart stop for half a beat—

Kanzuki Kanon had somehow found a fruit knife, and at this moment, that fruit knife was pressed against her flawless, snow-white neck… no, perhaps it could no longer be called flawless. Through the bright light from the floor-to-ceiling window, Arisugawa Yuu could clearly see a streak of blood on the girl’s pale neck.

Noticing his gaze, Kanzuki Kanon gave a tragic smile, “Goodbye, brother.”

As her words fell, her delicate hand applied a little force, and the bloodstain on her pale neck became clearer.

“Kanon, what are you doing?”

Arisugawa Yuu’s eyes widened in horror. He then rushed over at a speed he had never reached before in his life and snatched the fruit knife from the girl’s delicate hand.

Although he disliked her personality, she was his sister after all. And before this, he had been completely dependent on her. If she were to kill herself out of heartbreak because of him, Arisugawa Yuu would never be able to forgive himself.

Kanzuki Kanon leaned weakly in his arms, her voice sarcastic, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t go soft on me, brother? Why did you stop me?”

Seeing her tragic yet beautiful face, even as she spoke sarcastically, Arisugawa Yuu was filled with an uncontrollable anger. He cursed fiercely, “Using suicide to get attention and make people feel sorry for you, could you be any more foolish?”

Kanzuki Kanon gave a tragic smile, “I wasn’t trying to get your attention, brother. I just simply didn’t want to live anymore. You were the one who stopped me.”

“……”

It seemed that was indeed the case, Arisugawa Yuu recalled.

Just now, Kanzuki Kanon had made no sound at all. In just a few short seconds, she had cut her pale neck, clearly intending to leave just like that.

Seeing that Arisugawa Yuu was silent, Kanzuki Kanon continued, “Alright, actually, I had my own selfish reasons. This way, brother would remember me forever, right? You would feel guilty forever, and you would never be able to let another woman into your heart, right?”

Arisugawa Yuu slapped the girl’s soft, full buttocks fiercely, his face cold as he cursed, “What nonsense are you talking about? What is worth giving up your life for?”

“Nn~”

With her sensitive spot attacked, Kanzuki Kanon let out a delicate and charming moan.

Her snow-white face turned rosy, and her watery blue eyes were filled with a dazed look. For a moment, she was so beautiful and charming that she was beyond compare.

Arisugawa Yuu couldn’t help but be stunned for half a second.

Taking advantage of his daze, Kanzuki Kanon tilted her head up and gently kissed his lips, then said softly, “Brother, I like you. Can you stay with me forever and not look for other women?”

Before he could respond, she continued, “I’m sorry, brother. I know my actions were a bit annoying, but I couldn’t find a better way. If I didn’t do that, if I chose to be a gentle and cute little sister, then I would only ever be a little sister. The thought of only being your little sister makes me so unwilling. I was the one who spent the most time with you, we’re only siblings in name, I was the first to like you, I was here first, why should I let another woman take you away?”

At this point, Kanzuki Kanon paused, then smiled tragically, “So, I decided, even if it’s by force, even if I might be hated by you, brother, I have to keep you by my side. But I never expected that you would meet that annoying woman, Miyamizu Rin. If you had just given me a little more time, I could have imprisoned you by my side forever. What I didn’t expect even more was that you would be completely disappointed in me and plan to leave me. The thought that I might lose you forever in the future makes me feel that there’s no meaning in my life. I might as well just die and let you remember me forever, and feel guilty towards me forever.”

“Kanon…”

Faced with the girl’s heavy confession, Arisugawa Yuu opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.

Kanzuki Kanon looked at him with her watery blue eyes and said in a low voice, “Brother, can you be with me?”

For the first time, the girl didn’t use a forceful tone, and Arisugawa Yuu felt a little at a loss.

It seemed she had given him a choice, but did he really have a choice?

‘How could she be so cunning?’

Arisugawa Yuu sighed with a headache, “Kanon, no matter what, it’s impossible for me to accept this in a short period of time. Can you give me some time first?”

“Alright.” Kanzuki Kanon nodded obediently, then smiled slyly, “Alright, brother, but I need to collect some interest first.”

“What interest?”

Arisugawa Yuu was a little stunned.

“Of course, it’s like this.” The girl took his large hand and guided it under the hem of her skirt.

“???”

Looking at his dumbfounded expression, Kanzuki Kanon smiled sweetly, “Do you like it, brother? If you like it, I can let you do this every day.”

As she spoke, she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, her breath like an orchid, “As long as you like it, brother, I can satisfy you in any position.”
