I don’t know where the word “fate” came from.
This sentence is most suitable for Sakura Matou.
Thinking back on it now, the girl still feels a little puzzled while smiling knowingly.
That year, she was five years old and still a child who knew nothing. Her father adopted her to a new family for an incomprehensible reason, and her young heart was full of anxiety.
In this new home, there was no warmth as before, and people were cold to each other. After the adoption ceremony, the so-called grandfather and father no longer cared about me, leaving me to stay in this strange home, confused and helpless.
The person who walked into his life at that time was the only exception in the family, Shinji Matou, a boy one year older than him who would become his brother.
He said to himself with a sunny smile that was completely different from this gloomy home:
"From today on you are my sister and I am your brother."
"From now on, I will protect you."
Who would take seriously what a six-year-old says
The five-year-old Sakura didn't believe it, and even if the sixteen-year-old her traveled back in time, she might not believe it.
After all, this is just the first time we met, and we had no connection before. Why should I sacrifice so much for you, just because we are nominally brother and sister
But soon, Sakura found out that she was wrong. That child, her brother, Matou Shinji, had really done it.
Starting from the first night arriving at the new home, from the hands of that monstrous grandfather.
That bright silver light cut through the overwhelming swarm of insects, shattered the despair of falling into darkness, and was forever imprinted in the girl's heart.
And this is just the beginning of everything.
For the next eleven years, he never broke his promise.
She felt that the house was gloomy, so he cleaned it thoroughly to get rid of the stale and musty smell.
She felt that this home was cold, so he used his efforts to shorten the distance between people and make the home truly warm.
She missed her sister and her mother, so he cleverly created opportunities for them to meet.
Before she knew it, all the factors that made her uneasy were swept away, and she lived an even happier life than before.
After she grew up, she once asked him: Why are you so good to me
The answer I get is always the same: Because you are my sister, and it is natural for a brother to be nice to his sister.
It’s still that ridiculous, even a bit perfunctory, and unbelievable reason.
But if you don't believe it once, twice, and persist for one or two years, will you still feel perfunctory and ridiculous
To this day, Sakura still cannot understand what her brother was thinking at first, but she no longer tries to understand, because fate is something difficult to understand. Moreover, with a brother who holds her in his hands, what is there to be dissatisfied about
Well... if I have to say something that I am dissatisfied with, it is that my brother is not only so good to me, but also to other girls.
He seemed to always meet girls with unfortunate fates, and he would save each one he saw and take one home. But she couldn't say anything, because even she felt heartbroken for the experiences of those girls.
Even so...
It would be nice if my brother only took care of me.
She has quietly said this countless times over the years.
At first it was because of the child's possessiveness, but when he grew up a little, he developed a special feeling for his brother that went beyond that of siblings.
Girls tend to mature earlier than boys. Starting from the upper grades of elementary school, the whispers between girls change from new clothes and dolls to topics like affection and love between men and women.
Many bold girls have started dating, and it is not impossible for those who are a little older to take the next step.
Every time her classmates and friends talked about this topic, Ying would always respond with a "hmm" on the surface, but secretly look down on them in her heart.
What is your boyfriend? Can he compare to your brother
Handsome? Is he as handsome as his brother
Gentle and considerate? Is there a brother who is gentle and considerate
Pamper you? That's because you haven't seen how my brother pampers me.
Are you so proud of giving you a gift? The gifts my brother gave me are piled up like a mountain.
The more they compared, the more Sakura realized how excellent Shinji was.
He can do anything a boyfriend can do.
He can do things that his boyfriend can't do.
He can give whatever a boyfriend can give.
He can give you what your boyfriend can't.
Therefore, the concept of boyfriend < brother is deeply rooted in Sakura's cognition.
If you want to marry, you can either not marry or marry your brother. This way you can stay with your brother forever. There is no blood relationship anyway, so there are no ethical issues.
However, achieving this wish is by no means an easy task.
The elders can see through her little thoughts to some extent and will not obstruct her, but it is hard to say for her competitors who are in the same position as her.
Asagami Fujino, Mujo Kirie, the later Elquet, and the unpredictable Lorelaia who always seemed a little weird, were all his competitors.
Each of them is outstanding, and each of them has a deep bond with her brother.
Can I really win the competition with them
Even if they really win and successfully marry their brother, can they guarantee that they will not have any contact with their brother and nothing will happen
No way. Not to mention the uncertainties, it’s impossible for the two sisters who have been with me for a long time.
Because like himself, their feelings for their brother are a mixture of kinship, friendship, and love. Such deep emotions have almost become a belief, deeply rooted and unshakable.
She once heard Fujino secretly say:
"It doesn't really matter whether I can be his wife or not, as long as I can be by his side. Well, to go a little further, I hope to have two children with him, a boy and a girl. The boy should look like him, and the girl should be prettier than me."
It's too humble. Ying thought so, but it was a reality that she had to admit.
Fujino, who has the most tragic past, is actually the one who sees things most clearly among them.
This man is very greedy in love, but very timid. He doesn't want to give up any of them, but he can't say it out loud. He can only drag it on and leave the choice to the girls.
This man can give you everything except the love you long for.
No, maybe he can give that love, but he will share this love with others.
If you want to get deeper and deeper, then get out of it in time.
If you don't want to leave, then accept the reality.
Get out? Sakura couldn't do that, because she was the one who fell in love with him first.
Accept the reality? She was also a little reluctant.
She hasn't figured out what to do yet.
But there is one thing she has already decided.
When she figured it out and was ready, she would muster up the courage to walk to his side, hug his arms and say to him, "Brother, I love you."
Until then, she will continue to play the role of sister.
No matter whether she is a younger sister, a lover, a wife or a sweetheart, she is the one who loves her brother the most.
Who wants to hurt my brother
Okay, step over her body first!
PS: People always say that Sakura has no role, but this time she finally has one. I'll give her some sweet parts first, and then I can just follow what another author taught me and start an interlude, a spin-off, or an IF world line. If that doesn't work, I'll give her sweet parts every day for the next twenty chapters until you get sick of her.
PS2: Damn, yesterday the author group was discussing how to post dog food to get back at society, so I stupidly uploaded the chapters I had planned. I regretted it so much, so I decided to make up for it. From today on, I will update a dog food chapter from time to time, that's all.
